The Goddess of Life's Gaze

God Realm—

"What an interesting little fellow. His potential is quite good, and his attributes are excellent too~"

The Goddess of Life sensed the fluctuations that had just arrived from Douluo Continent. Upon careful investigation, she discovered the connection between Ye Kai and Ah Yin.

Even among the five great God Kings of the God Realm, there were differing attitudes toward Soul Beasts.

Back then, after the Dragon God was betrayed by the Space-Time Twin Dragon Kings and lost his son, he went completely mad. The Beast God then launched a frenzied war against the human gods.

Although the Dragon God eventually regained a shred of reason and allowed the God of Asura to split him into the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King, the God Realm still suffered devastating losses.

Among them, due to the nature of their Divine Power, Evil and Destruction's subordinate gods mostly possessed formidable combat strength, and they suffered heavy losses in that war of the God Realm.

Thus, the two of them held Soul Beasts in contempt.

Meanwhile, their wives, Kindness and the Goddess of Life, likewise held goodwill toward Soul Beasts due to the nature of their Divine Power.

As for the God of Asura, he maintained a neutral stance.

Therefore, the current Douluo God Realm Committee was deadlocked over how to handle Soul Beasts, with no one able to convince anyone else.

However, Evil and Kindness had already been thinking of quitting and running off. They simply lacked suitable successors at present, so they could only continue slacking off.

Whether their votes were there or not made little difference.

A strange emotion flickered through the Goddess of Life's beautiful eyes.

Destruction is far too obsessed with power. I tried several times to get him to run away with me before, but never succeeded.

Still, I hadn't found a suitable successor back then, so I had to let it go.

But now...

The Goddess of Life watched as Ye Kai and Ah Yin formed their contract.

The potential is suitable, the attributes are suitable, and his actions perfectly align with my ideals. Isn't this the perfect successor?

Hmph. Once Destruction gets back, I'll give him an ultimatum: if he still refuses to give up the power in his hands and start searching for a successor, then I'll pass on my God Position and leave on my own. He can spend the rest of his life with that God King seat!

I need to make him understand who truly has the final say in this family!

Oh? This little fellow seems to have quite a lot of romantic luck.

The Goddess of Life suddenly saw the "unforgivable crime" Ah Yin had committed against Ye Kai, and a lovely smile curled at her lips.

What a pity. I can't witness the moment a new life is born just yet.

It won't do to grant him a God Position Assessment now either. He's still too weak. I'll observe him for a few more days. If his actions truly match his words, then I'll give him a God Position Assessment.

The Goddess of Life began focusing on observing Ye Kai's every action. As for Destruction?

Hmph, she would make him sleep on the couch tonight! She was a god with a successor reserved now!

Douluo Star—

Ye Kai had no idea that a God King had already set her sights on him.

But if he had known, he probably would have only thought that he could save another huge sum of Healer Points. A God King Level God Position was an income of fifty million.

After teleporting back to Heaven Dou City with Qian Renxue, Ye Kai bid her farewell.

Although Qian Renxue was reluctant to part with him, she ultimately did not say the words asking Ye Kai to stay a few more days.

Before they parted, however, Qian Renxue still launched a surprise attack on Ye Kai. Like Ah Yin, she turned into a bandit—ambush, breach, invasion, plunder, all in one seamless motion.

Ye Kai had originally wanted to assert his sovereignty, but after sensing Qian Renxue's intense reluctance to part, he allowed her to do as she pleased.

After a long while, Qian Renxue finally completed her plunder. Without even looking at Ye Kai, she used the Angel Soul Bone Set to transform into Xue Qinghe, then headed toward the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace without looking back.

Ye Kai watched Xue Qinghe—Qian Renxue's figure gradually disappear into the distance. His eyes were vacant as he stood there motionlessly.

Knowing that Ye Kai was upset, Ah Yin transmitted her voice to him. "Let's go, Xiao Kai. I don't know what you two are plotting, but without strength, you can't accomplish anything."

Hearing how Ah Yin addressed him, Ye Kai snapped back to his senses.

"Sister Ah Yin, that's more like it. What happened to you before?"

Ah Yin gave a huff within the Sea of Consciousness.

"Did you think I didn't know what you were thinking? You were clearly tempted when you heard that form of address."

"Still, when it's just the two of us in the future, I can keep calling you that—my little master. Are you satisfied now~?"

Though Ah Yin had phrased it as a question, Ye Kai still heard a trace of seductive charm in her voice.

He quickly waved his hands. "Forget it, Sister Ah Yin. I really don't mean it that way."

"Let's not talk about that for now. You should absorb my soul bone before returning to Spirit Hall, shouldn't you?"

Ah Yin ignored Ye Kai's refusal.

In her eyes, Ye Kai's behavior was called pretending to refuse while actually welcoming it.

The boy was only six, yet there were already two childhood-sweetheart older sisters around him, both holding immense affection for him.

If Ye Kai had been capable of that sort of thing now, Ah Yin believed that the little girl named Qian Renxue would have long since dragged Ye Kai into bed for a spar.

And there was also that Teacher she had never met.

From a fragment of Ye Kai's memories, Ah Yin could tell that Teacher harbored some kind of ill intent toward Ye Kai as well.

Ah Yin was certain of that.

As for why?

Because she herself looked at Ye Kai with that same kind of gaze.

They were both old foxes, so why bother trying to play tricks on her?

If she could not make herself somewhat special in status, how could she ensure that he would still think of her while surrounded by girls?

What? You said Soul Spirit?

Ye Kai only had one soul ring right now. There were still eight slots left, which meant he still needed to find eight more Soul Spirits.

Forget finding them all—even if he found just one more, she would no longer be the most special one.

So Ah Yin took a different approach and worked on the Soul Spirit Contract instead.

Although calling Ye Kai "Master" made her feel rather embarrassed, the results seemed pretty good so far, didn't they?

"Ah, I'd forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it."

Ye Kai slapped his forehead.

He had originally planned to let Ah Yin absorb her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone again to speed up her transformation.

Who would have thought that Ah Yin would voluntarily ask to become a Soul Spirit? The Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone had consequently been tossed into his Soul Tool to gather dust.

Ah Yin wore a helpless, amused expression, though her heart felt faintly sweet.

Ye Kai's actions instead confirmed that, back then, he had truly wanted nothing more than for her to recover.

Although the two of them were now completely bound together, Ah Yin still hoped that Ye Kai had not come looking for her with an ulterior motive, like Tang Hao had.

Ye Kai's response was that although he had indeed had a purpose at first, he had long since given up on the idea of actively persuading her.

It was just that she had delivered herself to his door anyway—the kind who would kick the door down if she was not let in.

After returning to the Martial Soul Saint Hall in Heaven Dou City, he merely informed them that he would be entering seclusion again, then went into his room.

He took out the Jade Box containing the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone from his Soul Tool.

The moment he opened it, a cool, refreshing aura immediately spread throughout the room.

Inside the Jade Box lay a right leg bone like a blue Gem, radiating a blue-gold glow.
