"What the hell? Wasn't I born with Innate Full Soul Power? If you absorbed my soul power, how could I still have Innate Full Soul Power? If you were going to fool me, you could at least come up with a more convincing excuse."

Upon hearing this, the phantom nearly failed to maintain her form.

Qian Xunji's Rank 95 soul power had been absorbed, and she herself had taken at least ten to twenty percent of it. On top of that, her martial soul had originally been god-grade. If she had not absorbed at least twenty or thirty ranks' worth of soul power, how could she possibly have only been Rank 10?

But a moment later, she realized it. Right, Ye Xinyu did not know who her mother was. Otherwise, she would not have considered threatening her.

How could Bibi Dong lay a hand on her own daughter? If she had truly been willing to do it, then when she had promised to reduce the difficulty for Bibi Dong in exchange for killing someone with angel bloodline, Bibi Dong would have acted against Qian Renxue.

That woman Bibi Dong had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. If she learned that she wanted to seize her daughter's body, she would probably really kill her.

"Fine, you saw through me. Your talent is good, but it's only ordinary. Still, I intend to cultivate you as my successor. In return, after you become a god, I need you to help me reconstruct my physical body. How about it?"

As for asking her to help deal with the Asura God, it was better not to mention that for now. If Ye Xinyu learned that her enemy was a God King, then with her personality, she would probably back down. Besides, once she accepted her inheritance, the Asura God would not spare her either. When that time came, they would naturally be on the same side.

"A god?"

"Yes and no. I was once a god, but now, all that remains of me is a fragment of a soul."

Ye Xinyu's brows furrowed slightly.

"You only have a tiny fragment of your soul left. What can you possibly do for me?"

"Little one, you really have no patience at all. Though I only have a fragment of my soul remaining, my divine artifact and some other things are stored somewhere on the continent. As long as you agree to my deal, my divine artifact and everything else will be yours."

"However, before that, I should warn you—I am an evil god."

"An evil god?" Ye Xinyu murmured softly.

"Evil or good, they are nothing more than names. It is still better than certain people who call themselves good while doing evil deeds."

"By the way, what god did you say you were?"

The woman's seductive voice drifted over slowly.

"My name is Rakshasa."

Meanwhile, in Dormitory Seven, Xiao Wu had just woken up when she spotted the repaired comb beside her pillow. Then she looked at Tang San beside her and immediately threw herself into his arms.

Feeling the unique softness and smoothness of a girl's skin, Tang San froze. He wanted to push her away, but his hands subconsciously wrapped around Xiao Wu's waist instead.

When Ye Xinyu returned, she had barely reached the doorway when she saw Xiao Chenyu standing outside Dormitory Seven. He still looked somewhat absent-minded.

"Alright, what happened during the day wasn't your fault. It's late. Hurry back to your dormitory."

The tension in Xiao Chenyu's heart finally eased.

"Actually, I came to ask whether you have time."

Ye Xinyu was taken aback and instinctively took several steps back.

"What? Let me warn you first, I don't like you."

Xiao Chenyu blanked for a moment, then hurriedly explained.

"Ahem, that's not what I meant. My father asked me to invite you to our home for a simple meal if you have time. He wants to show you some hospitality as the local host."

"Oh, you should've said so earlier. You scared me." Ye Xinyu had been about to refuse, but then she asked, "By the way, is your father that city lord?"

Hearing Ye Xinyu refer to his father so casually, Xiao Chenyu felt even more reverence toward her. Sure enough, his father had been right. How could an ordinary person dare to speak of him like that?

"That's right. My father is the city lord of Nuoding City. But compared to your status, he is still far inferior."

"Cut that out. I'm just an ordinary student." Ye Xinyu waved him off, then thought for a moment and asked, "Let me ask you something. Do you know anywhere that buys soul beast meat?"

"Soul beast meat?" Xiao Chenyu was stunned.

"What do you need that for? If you want some to eat, just let us know. We can't get anything too high-grade, but soul beast meat from a few-year or dozen-year soul beast should be manageable."

Ye Xinyu shook her head.

"No, I just want to know whether anyone buys Hundred-Year Soul Beast meat. Something like chicken-type soul beasts that are around a hundred years old."

Xiao Chenyu frowned.

"Soul beast meat is beneficial to both soul masters and ordinary people, and Hundred-Year Soul Beasts are especially valuable. But most soul beast meat is poisonous. Are you sure this Hundred-Year Soul Beast meat is edible?"

Ye Xinyu nodded. What a joke—she had eaten it herself and had not felt anything wrong. Thinking about it, that made sense. They had been domesticated chickens that somehow evolved into soul beasts. They probably had not developed any poison yet.

"I've eaten it, and nothing happened. It should be nonpoisonous. I know a way to get some, so I want to know whether anyone in Nuoding City buys it. I'd like to see what the price is like. If it's suitable, I'll bring some over to sell."

At this, Xiao Chenyu's brows knit slightly.

"There are people who buy it, but I don't know the price very well. If you want to sell some, why not ask my father personally? He knows more about these things."

"That works." Ye Xinyu nodded slightly.

"Let me know when it's convenient, and I'll come pay him a visit."

She did not have any other way to make money. Thinking carefully, this seemed to be the only option available to her. If she remembered correctly, the hills around that area had all been occupied by those chickens. She did not know the exact number, but there were at least tens of thousands of them, and Hundred-Year Soul Beasts were everywhere.

If they were truly valuable, she could be careful and catch some to sell. That would be excellent. If they really fetched a good price, perhaps she could save enough money to buy immortal herbs within the next few years.

She did not know much about immortal herbs, but the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb was so distinctive that as long as she was not blind, she would definitely recognize it.

Secondly, as long as she did not pick the white one and avoided getting the Snow-colored Swan's Kiss and poisoning herself to death, she could choose any of the others with her eyes closed—they were all good stuff.

One for Mom, one for herself, and one for Bibi Dong to redeem Mom—she needed at least three plants.

It was still necessary to make more money over the next few years.

Joy appeared on Xiao Chenyu's face.

"Alright, then this weekend."

Ye Xinyu waved her hand.

"Fine. Make the arrangements yourself. Just come get me when the time comes."

"Mm. It's getting late, so head back. I need to rest."

After seeing Xiao Chenyu off, Ye Xinyu finally turned and returned to the dormitory.

However, upon entering the dormitory and seeing the scene before her, she froze on the spot. Were those two progressing that quickly? They were already hugging?

Going to sleep. I padded out thirteen thousand words today, and my head hurts.

I updated three days' worth in one day. Does that mean I don't need to update tomorrow?
