Hu Liena: I Was Here First

After taking out the Soul Bone, Ye Kai sat cross-legged on the bed and pressed it against his right leg.

Immediately, a massive surge of Life Energy flooded into Ye Kai's body.

Although its quality could not compare to Ye Kai's Tree of Life, its quantity far exceeded his own.

Before long, the Life Energy circulated through Ye Kai's body once, leaving a swelling sensation everywhere it passed.

Ye Kai knew it was strengthening his physique, so he simply let it flow freely and began refining and absorbing it.

By the time he finished absorbing the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, three days had passed.

Ye Kai opened the System Panel to see what gains the Hundred Thousand Year life-type Soul Beast Soul Bone had brought him.

The first thing he saw was that the Tree of Life's talent had changed.

Ultimate Life, which had increased his Injury Recovery Speed tenfold and Healing Intensity by 100%, had become twentyfold and 200%. It could also regenerate severed limbs, whether for himself or others.

It seemed that the original work's "Wildfires cannot burn it all away; when the spring breeze blows, it grows anew" had fused with Ultimate Life.

If that was the case...

Then this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was basically skill-less.

Flight was useful now, but after reaching Soul Saint, it would not be of much use.

Although only Titled Douluo could fly during the Douluo 1 era, in the Douluo 2 era, Soul Saints and above could fly using their own Soul Power.

In other words, the prerequisite for a Soul Master to fly was not necessarily becoming a Titled Douluo. It was simply that no one had developed that ability yet.

Ye Kai more or less understood the reason as well. For the people of Douluo Continent, there was no need to think about such things. Following the established path was best.

Besides, he had Teleportation, which was far more advanced than flight.

Now he could only see whether it had brought him anything else.

Hmm, his Soul Ring had gained two thousand years, reaching seven thousand years.

At the same time, because his recovery speed had increased, the limit that had originally only allowed him to forcibly absorb Soul Rings with half again the normal age had now doubled.

That meant Ye Kai could now forcibly absorb a fourteen-thousand-year Soul Ring.

The gains were immense.

At the same time, his Soul Power had reached level 20. Ye Kai had expected that, so there was nothing surprising about it.

And after reaching level 20, another purple thousand-year Soul Ring emerged around Ye Kai.

"What?!"

Ah Yin, who had come out to stand guard for him while he absorbed the Soul Bone, froze.

But the fluctuations of Soul Power around Ye Kai did not stop. They continued rising until they finally halted at level 24.

"Come on, Sister Ah Yin, didn't you feel it yourself? A thousand-year Soul Spirit can provide up to three Soul Rings."

Ye Kai looked at Ah Yin helplessly.

Could Ah Yin say that when they signed the contract, she had only been thinking about Ye Kai and had not paid attention? And afterward, she had become so absorbed in teasing Ye Kai that she had completely forgotten about it?

"Not bad, Xiao Kai. How is the Soul Bone skill?"

"How should I put it? There are good parts and bad parts."

Ye Kai scratched his cheek.

"Hmm?"

A huge question mark seemed to pop up over Ah Yin's head.

What the hell were you barking about?

He had absorbed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, and he was actually saying it had pros and cons?

"It's actually like this..."

Ye Kai told Ah Yin about how "Wildfires cannot burn it all away; when the spring breeze blows, it grows anew" had combined with his Ultimate Life.

"..."

Ah Yin fell silent as well. If that was the case, then this Soul Bone had not given Ye Kai two skills. It had not even given him one—it had only given him half a skill.

"Not only did it increase my Soul Ring limit by two thousand years, I can also forcibly absorb a fourteen-thousand-year Soul Ring now."

"With that, my strength has improved quite a bit too."

Seeing Ah Yin fall silent, Ye Kai hurriedly continued.

Knowing what Ye Kai was trying to do, Ah Yin finally revealed a faint smile at his words. It was good as long as it could help him.

With matters here settled, Ye Kai began packing up and preparing to return to Spirit City.

But there was not much to pack in the first place. Most of the things belonged to the Heaven Dou Martial Soul Saint Hall, not Ye Kai himself.

So Ye Kai merely tidied the room, called for the guards, and set out for Spirit City.

Because Ye Kai's strength had improved and they did not take any detours, the group soon arrived at Spirit City.

Of course, along the way, Ah Yin had not missed many chances to come out under the cover of the deep night to rob him blind.

Men held twigs in their mouths, horses had their hooves wrapped, crossing Yinping in secret to strike directly at Shu-Han!

The two guards suspected nothing. They were only curious why they never saw Ye Kai grooming himself, yet the fragrance on his body lingered so long.

After returning to Spirit City, Ye Kai did not see Pope Teacher. He was said to be in seclusion.

Ye Kai knew he had most likely gone to undergo the Rakshasa God's trial.

After telling the Maids to inform Pope Teacher that he had returned once he came out, Ye Kai went back to his residence.

"Xiao Kai, your residence is rather different from what I imagined~"

Ah Yin looked at the house outside through the Sea of Consciousness.

She had originally prepared herself for Ye Kai to stay directly in the Pope's bedroom, but she had not expected him to have a house outside as well.

Still, this house was somewhat shabby. It did not suit Ye Kai's status at all.

"Eh, it's just a place to live. I'm not that picky."

Ye Kai answered as he opened the front door.

"Someone's here?"

Looking at the lit room, Ye Kai had a guess. It was probably Fox Senior Sister. No thief would dare make trouble on Ye Kai's turf.

"Senior Sister?"

Ye Kai called out tentatively.

Bang!

The room door was suddenly flung open, and a graceful figure rushed out, crashing straight into Ye Kai's arms. It was Hu Liena.

"You little brat, you finally came back?"

Although she had avoided Ye Kai for a while after taking the initiative last time, once her embarrassment faded, she had wanted to review their lessons again.

Who would have thought Ye Kai would leave for several months?

Looking at Ye Kai's face, Hu Liena only felt his allure growing stronger and stronger.

Her throat bobbed. Xiao Kai seemed to be getting better and better at attracting people.

The longing that had built up over the past few months was slowly crushing her reason.

Hu Liena licked her alluringly moist lips. Should they review their lessons now?

Ye Kai knew exactly what Hu Liena intended from the way she was acting.

But after being robbed by a Bandit every day lately, it was about time he robbed someone else, wasn't it?

Ye Kai immediately launched his attack. Caught off guard, Hu Liena's beautiful eyes widened. Then her body went limp in Ye Kai's arms as she gradually sank into his demands.

After a long while, their lips parted. Ye Kai looked at the completely limp Hu Liena, lowered his head, and licked away the glistening moisture at the corner of her lips.

But Hu Liena suddenly hooked her arms around Ye Kai's neck. Her large eyes stared at him as she asked in an unfriendly tone, "Tell me, which little girl did you go and ruin lately?"

Earlier, Ye Kai's fierce offensive had muddled her mind. It was only after it ended that Hu Liena finally realized something.

Why had this brat become so skilled?

Last time, he had been passive while she pressed him down and took the lead. His technique had also been clumsy, making it obvious that he was a complete novice.

But now, as Hu Liena recalled what had just happened, a lovely blush spread across her face. She had become completely immersed in it!

Moreover, Hu Liena's high nose twitched slightly. This brat carried another woman's scent!

Judging from that rich fragrance, they had definitely been pressed close together for quite a long time!

Hu Liena was furious. She had only been embarrassed, so how had some fox managed to steal her home?

She had waited all these years to pick the fruit, only for another fox to pluck it first!
