(Brain Storage)
"Don't kill my father!!!"
"Ling'er, remember what Father told you. Go find the Asura God... Hurry! Gate of Time and Space, open! Pfft..."
"No!!!"
A sea of blood filled her vision, and Le Ling jolted awake, tears of grief slipping uncontrollably down her face.
It had already been three days.
Whenever she closed her eyes, she dreamed of the moment before her father died!
The Spirit Emperor of the Five Elements Continent had been killed under the siege of her half-brother and the rebel army!
Before his death, the Spirit Emperor exhausted his last reserves of spiritual power to open the Gate of Time and Space, sending his only daughter, Princess Le Ling, to the Douluo Continent.
Le Ling knew that only by finding the Asura God and borrowing the power of the God Realm could she return to the Five Elements Continent for revenge and honor the souls of her dead family!
Remembering her father's death once more, she slammed her fist against the bedboard in fury. "This Princess will make them repay their blood debt with blood!!!"
Just then, someone knocked urgently on the door.
"Little Le Sister, the newly appointed Foreman Yu is here! Get up, quick! I heard Foreman Yu is vicious and hits people!!"
Le Ling raised a hand to wipe the tears from her face, then got up and opened the door.
The door opened.
A girl of around sixteen stood outside.
The girl was a friend Le Ling had met while applying for the Spirit Hall's maid recruitment. Her name was A Jian.
Spirit Hall had extensive connections and a powerful information network.
Le Ling believed it would be easier to search for traces of the Asura God here, but getting in was no simple matter!
The only way was to apply through Spirit Hall's maid recruitment.
For revenge, Princess Le Ling did not care even if she had to become a maid!
At that moment, without another word, A Jian grabbed Le Ling and ran toward the end of the corridor.
Before long, the two arrived at the back courtyard.
There were roughly fifty maids and servants in the courtyard. They all knelt with their heads lowered, not daring to even breathe loudly.
That was because a woman around thirty was whipping several people kneeling at the front with a leather whip!
Le Ling and A Jian entered through the back door and went to the rear of the crowd.
Seeing everyone else kneeling, A Jian immediately followed suit, but Le Ling remained standing.
Just then, Foreman Yu, who had finished disciplining the others, turned around and happened to see that a maid at the back had not knelt. She flew into a rage at once.
"You!"
Foreman Yu pointed at Le Ling with the hand holding her whip and snapped, "Before me, all you ordinary maids and servants must kneel. Don't you even know such basic rules?!"
Le Ling replied coldly, "I really don't!"
Hearing that a maid actually dared to talk back to her like that, Foreman Yu immediately exploded with rage. "Then today, I'll teach you some rules!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she unleashed her spirit. At the same time, she cracked her whip and viciously lashed it toward Le Ling's beautiful face!
Back on the Five Elements Continent, Le Ling had been a level-ninety Heavenly Fox Spirit Cultivation King.
Although the Five Elements Continent and the Douluo Continent were different planes within the same spacetime, one cultivated spirit power while the other cultivated Soul Power.
There were still differences between the two!
Thus, affected by the fortune of this plane, Le Ling's level-ninety spiritual power had become merely level-thirty Soul Power, while her Ten-Tailed Celestial Fox Sacred Body had become the Heavenly Fox Spirit.
Helplessly, she could only cultivate this world's Soul Power Level again!
But dealing with Foreman Yu, who only had level-twenty Soul Power, was more than easy enough!
Le Ling immediately unleashed her spirit, and her gaze instantly turned enchanting. A lively, leaping crimson fox suddenly appeared behind her.
Foreman Yu's whip had already reached her. Le Ling swiftly reached out and grabbed the tip of the whip.
At the same time, a long, thick fox tail behind Le Ling rapidly coiled around Foreman Yu's neck, lifting her entire body into the air!
Foreman Yu's eyes turned bloodshot from the tail choking her.
She glared viciously at the maid before her, but could not utter the curses she wanted to hurl!
The corners of Le Ling's lips curled slightly. Controlling her great fox tail, she gave it a violent swing and smashed Foreman Yu brutally into the wall behind her.
"Pfft..."
Foreman Yu spat out a mouthful of blood.
At the same time, the tremendous impact instantly broke her spine, and the pain made her pass out!
Everyone in the back courtyard was stunned by the sight!
A Jian asked in disbelief, "Little Le Sister, you... When did you awaken your spirit? How did I not know?!"
Le Ling did not answer. She merely withdrew her spirit and walked toward Foreman Yu, who lay on the ground.
Just as she reached out to check Foreman Yu's breathing, a middle-aged man around fifty entered the courtyard.
This man was Steward Yao of the Worship Hall.
Today, he had first sent Foreman Yu over to call roll and register everyone before taking the maids and servants to report to the Worship Hall.
But the moment he entered the back courtyard, he saw Foreman Yu lying on the ground.
After stepping forward to check her breathing, he narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze over the crowd, demanding sternly, "Who did this?!"
At that moment, everyone besides Le Ling lowered their heads.
Le Ling stepped forward and admitted it. "I did it, and I'll take responsibility. I was the one who hit Foreman Yu!"
Steward Yao looked suspiciously at the maid before him.
For maids and servants working in Spirit Hall to be promoted to foremen, they had to be Soul Masters with Soul Power!
Those who awakened spirits but possessed not even a trace of Soul Power and could not cultivate could only remain ordinary maids and servants.
Steward Yao had not expected this ordinary maid before him to be capable of beating a foreman with level-twenty Soul Power.
He found it rather unbelievable!
A possibility immediately came to mind. "Are you a Soul Master?"
Le Ling nodded and unleashed her spirit.
"Heavenly Fox Spirit!!!"
Seeing the maid's spirit, Steward Yao was shocked inwardly!
He recalled the maid information submitted three days ago. Aside from Foreman Yu, there had been no records of any other maids with Soul Power Levels.
If there had been a maid with such an exceptional spirit back then, he certainly would not have promoted that Yu maid to foreman!
Could the information have been wrong?!
After thinking for a moment, Steward Yao asked the maid before him, "What is your name?"
Le Ling withdrew her spirit and answered, "Le Ling."
Steward Yao pondered briefly before announcing to everyone, "From today onward, Le Ling will be promoted to the position of foreman of the Worship Hall."
Then, looking at Le Ling, he instructed, "Have someone carry Foreman Yu away, summon a physician to treat her, then register them properly and take them to the Worship Hall's logistics management office."
With that, Steward Yao turned and left.
Le Ling had no interest in becoming a foreman. If Foreman Yu had not been so arrogant just now, she would not have acted!
But to search for traces of the Asura God, she had to remain in Spirit Hall, so she could only accept this position for now.
She asked A Jian, "What does a foreman usually have to do?"
A Jian thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, aside from assisting the chief steward in managing all the maids and servants of the Worship Hall, a foreman's most important duty is to attend to the Great Offering's daily needs."
"The Great Offering?"
Le Ling recalled that when she had traveled to the Douluo Continent fifty years ago, the Great Offering of Spirit Hall had been that man's father.
What about now?
Suddenly, a possibility occurred to her. She seized A Jian's arm and asked anxiously, "Is Spirit Hall's Great Offering now named Qian Daoliu?!"
A Jian nodded blankly. "Yes. What's wrong?"
"It really is him!!!"
Le Ling's fox fur instantly stood on end.
