Senior Sister, Let Me Check Your Body

On the way back, after the initial wave of emotion passed, Hu Liena recalled Bibi Dong's earlier state and felt somewhat worried.

"Teacher, just now, that was..."

"I'm not sure. Maybe she was affected by her Martial Soul?"

No one outside knew about God Tests yet, so Ye Kai could not say it outright, even to Hu Liena.

"Alright, Na Jie. Let me examine your body when we get back."

"Hm?"

The moment Hu Liena heard Ye Kai say that, she thought of certain things she had read about in books...

Her face instantly flushed scarlet.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking? I just meant checking whether you sustained any hidden injuries during training. My Martial Soul can help treat you."

Ye Kai rolled his eyes. Little Fox really was Little Fox—she had gotten the wrong idea back in Pope's Hall...

Wait. Ye Kai's expression suddenly darkened.

"Senior Sister, you actually stabbed me in the back just now?!"

"Well... I... I didn't know she was a Soul Spirit either. Besides, who told you to bully me so much last night?"

Halfway through, Hu Liena revealed her little fangs.

"Besides, she may be a Soul Spirit, but the two of you have had some rather deep exchanges too, haven't you?"

"Cough, cough..."

Ye Kai scratched his head awkwardly as the scene of being suppressed by Sister Ah Yin surfaced in his mind again.

"Hmph, I was right, wasn't I? She's definitely not a good person."

Seeing Ye Kai's expression, how could Hu Liena not know that something had happened between the two?

"But who exactly is she?"

Ah Yin's exchange with Bibi Dong had left her thoroughly confused, and she still did not understand Ah Yin's identity.

"Mm..."

Ye Kai hesitated. This involved Sister Ah Yin's painful past. If she was willing, it would be better for her to explain it herself.

"This concerns Sister Ah Yin's personal privacy, so it's not convenient for me to say. I can only tell you her name—Ah Yin."

Hearing Ye Kai say that, Hu Liena changed the subject and did not press further.

After returning to their residence, Ye Kai had Hu Liena sit cross-legged on the bed in only her underclothes, while he sat cross-legged behind her.

He pressed both hands against Hu Liena's back as Life Energy gradually entered her body and began coursing through her entire body along her meridians.

"So comfortable..."

Hu Liena felt the gentle Soul Power surging through her body. Every place it passed brought a wave of comfort.

It was as if every part of her body welcomed the arrival of Ye Kai's Soul Power.

With his eyes closed, Ye Kai sensed the condition inside Hu Liena's body. There were only a few minor injuries, nothing serious.

They were likely small injuries sustained during daily training that Hu Liena herself had not noticed.

When Ye Kai withdrew his Soul Power, Hu Liena felt that her body was visibly lighter than before.

"So comfortable~"

Hu Liena stretched lazily, and the curves of the girl whose body had begun to develop appeared before Ye Kai's eyes.

"Go take a bath, Senior Sister?"

Only then did Hu Liena notice black impurities on her body, along with an unpleasant odor.

"Ah!"

Hu Liena dashed into the bathroom like the wind, and soon the sound of running water came from within.

After Hu Liena left, Ye Kai felt a sudden wave of weakness and rubbed his brow.

Although it was daytime and he had recovered a little Soul Power on the way back, first cleansing Pope Teacher's mind, then helping Hu Liena heal her hidden injuries and expel impurities, had still left Ye Kai's Soul Power and Spiritual Power slightly overdrawn.

Ah Yin suddenly appeared behind Ye Kai.

Her warm, gentle hands rested against Ye Kai's temples, easing his mental discomfort.

Slowly drawing Ye Kai onto her lap, Ah Yin looked at his exhausted face with a hint of heartache.

"Sister Ah Yin, I'll rest for a while first."

The faint fragrance emanating from Ah Yin became the best sleep aid at that moment, and Ye Kai soon fell asleep.

When Hu Liena emerged after washing herself, she was just about to ask Ye Kai what was going on when she saw Ah Yin make a "shh" gesture at her, then point downward.

Only then did Hu Liena see that Ye Kai was already asleep on Ah Yin's lap.

"Mm."

Hu Liena puffed out her cute cheeks. She had always been the one giving lap pillows before, but now someone else had stolen that role.

Ah Yin carefully carried Ye Kai to the bed, then gestured for Hu Liena to follow her outside.

"What happened to Xiao Kai?"

The moment they stepped out of the bedroom, Hu Liena asked directly.

She was somewhat worried about Ye Kai's condition.

"It's nothing serious. He just used up a great deal of Soul Power and Spiritual Power twice in succession, so he's a little tired. He'll be fine after some rest."

"Then what happened to me just now?"

I gave off such a nasty smell in front of Ye Kai... Xiao Kai won't think I have body odor, will he?

"Nothing much. It's just that Xiao Kai's Soul Power is of a rather high quality, so it could nourish your body while also removing some impurities. Your cultivation speed should be faster from now on."

Ah Yin poured a cup of tea for Hu Liena and herself, gesturing for her to sit down.

"..."

"What is it?"

Seeing Hu Liena continue staring at her after sitting down, Ah Yin asked curiously.

"Can I call you Sister Ah Yin?"

Thinking of the information Ye Kai had just revealed to her, Hu Liena asked tentatively.

"Of course."

"Then how did you and Xiao Kai meet, Sister Ah Yin?"

To defeat such a formidable opponent, intelligence was absolutely indispensable. Otherwise, she would not even know where to begin.

"Xiao Kai and I..."

Ah Yin recalled the time when Ye Kai had first brought her out of that stone chamber. Thinking of his meticulous care, a happy smile appeared on her face.

Seeing the captivating smile on Ah Yin's peerlessly beautiful face, Hu Liena's heart sank slightly.

This opponent was far too strong. How was she supposed to fight her?

Why was even I feeling a little drawn to her?

Who was the fox here, exactly?

"Don't worry, I won't compete with you. As long as I can stay by his side, that's enough for me."

Ah Yin emerged from her memories, composed herself, and spoke to Hu Liena.

Hu Liena's face was full of disbelief.

"Since I'm Xiao Kai's Soul Spirit, you should be able to tell that I'm a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

"..."

At that moment, Hu Liena truly did not want to admit that she had not considered that at all.

"The death of your former Pope was also somewhat related to me. After all, everything happened back then because of my soul ring and Soul Bone."

Ah Yin slowly recounted what had happened all those years ago.

From meeting the Tang Brothers after taking human form, to being plotted against by Tang Hao, and then to being rescued by Ye Kai, who helped her recover her strength.

Hu Liena covered her mouth in shock after hearing it all. She had never expected Tang Hao to have been behind the death of the former Pope.

If Ye Kai were here, he would definitely roll his eyes. There was an even bigger bombshell yet to come.

Driven by a woman's sensitivity, although they were now rivals, Hu Liena felt somewhat sorry for Ah Yin.

She had thought she had found someone she could entrust her life to, only to discover in the end that it had all been a scheme.

"Sister Ah Yin, you..."

"But Xiao Kai has already avenged me, hasn't he? And now I can stay by his side and be with him. That is enough."

Ah Yin smiled gently.

Feeling the heartfelt joy in Ah Yin's smile, the sorrow in Hu Liena's heart gradually faded.
