"Waaah... Master's Wife, I was bullied?" Na'er cried bitterly. The thought that she, the dignified avatar of the Master of Soul Beasts, had been forced by a "Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast" to kneel and admit her mistakes in front of her own subordinates filled her with unbearable grievance.

"Alright, stop crying. It was Master's Wife's fault. I didn't even know you had a brother. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you go seek revenge alone." Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li comforted her softly. If she had known about Tang Wulin and Na'er's relationship, she would certainly have kept a close watch on Na'er and not let her run off by herself.

"Brother... Ah!" The moment Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li mentioned Tang Wulin, Na'er stopped crying instantly. She froze for a moment, then suddenly screamed, "Master's wife, is my brother alright?"

"He's fine. Don't you trust master's wife's abilities?" Seeing how upset Na'er was, Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li truly could not bear to tell her the truth.

"But..."

"Na'er!" Just as Na'er was about to speak again, Tang Wulin's somewhat trembling call reached her.

Na'er turned around and finally noticed that Tang Wulin had been behind her all along. With a sob, she burst into tears again and threw herself into Tang Wulin's arms.

"I'm sorry. I made you worry." Tang Wulin blamed himself deeply. He hated Xia Yi, yet there was no way for him to show it.

After all, before making a move, Xia Yi had specifically asked Wu Zhangkong whether there were any restrictions.

Besides, Xia Yi's Soul Power cultivation was only level ten, and he was a healing type Soul Master.

The battle between Tang Wulin and Xia Yi had been unfair to begin with. Xia Yi had done nothing wrong by using a trick.

"Waaah... It was my fault. I shouldn't have left in secret." Na'er cried bitterly, completely oblivious to what was happening around her. She did not even notice that Xia Yi and Gu Yue were right beside her.

"Do you admit your mistake?" Just as Na'er wailed and vented her grievances, Xia Yi's cold voice suddenly rang out behind her.

Na'er's body stiffened instantly. Even she did not know whether it was her body's instinctive memory or whether Xia Yi had truly traumatized her before, but she instinctively began to tremble. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have... Ah!"

Na'er was indeed the avatar of the Master of Soul Beasts. Although she had only just awakened and was not yet fully clear-headed, Xia Yi's voice had frightened her. Before she could even finish a sentence, she reacted swiftly. Silver light flashed, and the Silver Dragon Spear was already thrust before Xia Yi.

The Silver Dragon Spear remained incomparably sharp and incredibly fast. Even Tang Wulin was startled. He had never imagined that Na'er would be so strong.

Yet just as Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li prepared to act and save Xia Yi, the Silver Dragon Spear stopped about a foot in front of him.

Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li furrowed her delicate brows. She could not understand why Na'er had suddenly stopped when Xia Yi had merely made a fist.

"Please, don't!" Na'er's petite body trembled slightly, and the hand gripping the Silver Dragon Spear suddenly lost all strength. With a clang, the Silver Dragon Spear fell to the ground.

She instinctively moved in front of Tang Wulin, but immediately realized that it seemed useless.

Xia Yi did not speak. He merely pointed at the ground again.

Na'er instinctively started to kneel again, but suddenly remembered that not only was Tang Wulin beside her now, even Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li was present.

"I know I was wrong. Please, let my brother and me go. From now on, I'll listen to you, alright?" Na'er looked up at Gu Yue. Even now, she believed that Xia Yi was acting on Gu Yue's orders.

"What does this have to do with me? If I hadn't reacted quickly earlier, I would be the one being treated like this now." Gu Yue shook her head helplessly. Xia Yi had not known about Na'er and Tang Wulin's relationship before, so he could not possibly have predicted that Na'er would suddenly appear.

If Xia Yi's method of threatening Na'er had been planned in advance, then it must have been prepared for her.

Na'er did not know what Gu Yue was thinking. Seeing Gu Yue shake her head, she mistakenly believed that Gu Yue was still unwilling to let her go.

Watching Xia Yi slowly clench his fist, Na'er turned to Tang Wulin beside her again. No matter what, she could not let Tang Wulin suffer that kind of harm. Tears streaming down her face, she bent her knees and was about to kneel once more.

Tang Wulin stopped Na'er immediately. How could he possibly allow Na'er to kneel in public?

Seeing Na'er being forced like this, though he did not know what had happened, killing intent already overflowed from his eyes.

"Gu Yue, what exactly is going on?" Tang Wulin abruptly raised his head and looked at Gu Yue. He did not believe that Gu Yue would join Xia Yi in harming Na'er.

But no matter what, Xia Yi had been with Gu Yue from beginning to end. And judging from Na'er's reaction, Gu Yue did seem to be on Xia Yi's side.

He trusted Gu Yue, but he trusted Na'er even more.

"Ask your sister yourself!" Gu Yue curled her lips. Although she still cared a little about Tang Wulin deep down, seeing Na'er's miserable state, she did not dare show it in front of Xia Yi.

She did not want to become the next Na'er.

Those involved could not see clearly. Even Gu Yue herself had yet to realize that, psychologically, she had begun to fear Xia Yi without noticing.

"What exactly is going on?" Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li asked in a deep voice as well, staring darkly at Xia Yi. Forget that Xia Yi had not agreed to become her student—even if he had, she would never allow him to bully Na'er.

Xia Yi ignored Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li. His gaze remained on Na'er from beginning to end as he said coldly, "How about this? Cut off one of your fingers, and I'll let you and your brother go."

"Are you telling the truth?" Na'er abruptly looked up at Xia Yi. To her, cutting off a finger was far easier to accept than kneeling publicly.

Forget one finger—even if Xia Yi had demanded an arm, she would rather cut it off than kneel before everyone.

"You can't!" Tang Wulin stopped Na'er again. He looked coldly at Xia Yi and said icily, "Whoever dares hurt my sister, don't blame me for being merciless."

"A defeated opponent thinks he can threaten me?" Xia Yi shook his head. He continued staring coldly at Na'er without another word, merely slowly clenching his fist.

"No, I'll cut it off." A wave of Soul Power erupted from Na'er's body. Her cultivation was already higher than Tang Wulin's, and the completely unprepared Tang Wulin was sent flying away.

Before Tang Wulin could react, she gathered Soul Power along the edge of her right palm, turning her hand into a blade as she fiercely chopped at the little finger of her left hand.

With a crack, her little finger was chopped clean off and sent flying.

To everyone's surprise, Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li did not stop her. Instead, she casually caught the flying little finger and brought both it and Na'er before Xia Yi.

"Begin," Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li said flatly. She had already seen through Xia Yi's intentions.

"Alright." Xia Yi chuckled and directly put away Na'er's finger. Only then did he extend two fingers to the severed spot. As his First Soul Ring lit up again, a gentle light shone from his fingertips.

Under the shocked gazes of everyone except Gu Yue, Na'er's finger slowly grew back, even looking exactly the same as before.

"Limb Regeneration... It really works. If he breaks through to become a Title Douluo, perhaps I could also..." Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li's beautiful eyes were filled with shock as she quickly thought of her own problem.

The reason she could not become pregnant was that she had overdrawn too much of her life force in the past, causing certain organs in her body to fail and die.

Though she was a healing type Soul Master, she could only heal injuries. She did not possess Xia Yi's ability to regenerate severed limbs.

She had no way to make completely failed organs grow back.

But Xia Yi's ability allowed her to see hope.

"Forget it. I'll think about it later." Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li shook her head. Xia Yi was still only a Soul Scholar. With Xia Yi's talent, whether he could break through to become a Title Douluo in the future was still uncertain.

Besides, she and Yun Ming already had Na'er. Their desire for a child was no longer as strong as before.

"Impossible. I don't believe it. You can't really be a Support Soul Master." Na'er looked at the finger that had already regrown on her hand. She shook her head wildly and collapsed onto the ground.

Unlike Tang Wulin, Xia Yi had never given Tang Wulin a chance to attack, while she had fought Xia Yi head-on.

Although Xia Yi was far from being her match, he had still been able to hold her off. If Xia Yi's Soul Power had not run out, defeating him would not have been easy for her either.

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" Na'er could not accept the fact that she could not even defeat a level-ten healing type Soul Scholar. She shoved Tang Wulin aside and ran off.
