"Qing Ge, that girl's Soul Power Level seems quite high. I feel she's close to the level of Soul Grandmaster." Tang San also noticed this. After Steward Xiao left, he picked up a piece of cream cake with watermelon on it, took a small spoon, and tasted it while speaking.

If an ordinary woman, or a female soul Soul Master with extremely low Innate Soul Power and no potential to break through to the Soul Elder level, were to marry into a noble family...

Tang San could actually understand this behavior.

The weak depend on the strong, and the poor depend on the rich. Such things were common in the past, except that the weak and poor could only be concubines.

But that girl's talent is obviously not low; she can at least stand out among Commoner Soul Master. With such talent, there is no need for her to suffer.

"What? That woman who's not exactly chaste is Soul Master?" Xiao Wu paused her chewing motion, her thin lips slurping cream and biting into a strawberry.

"Yes, my Soul Power is even higher than yours." Zhou Qing also picked up a piece of fruit cake. Even though he was eating it directly in his hand like Xiao Wu, he didn't use a small spoon like Tang San did. Instead, he took out a pair of chopsticks from his Storage Soul Tool.

"What kind of way are you eating? This isn't a meal!" Xiao Wu was speechless when she saw Zhou Qing using chopsticks to pick up cake.

"This is a symbol of civilization."

Zhou Qing spoke with conviction, using chopsticks to break off a small piece of cake, putting it in his mouth to savor it, and continued talking about the woman, "I feel that her Soul Power is at least level eighteen, and she should have a way to conceal her own Soul Power fluctuations, so the other people in the City Lord's Mansion, as well as you, a little rabbit who knows nothing, can only sense her weak Soul Power fluctuations and think that she is just a Soul Scholar."

"What's her purpose? Could she be one of those Female Hooligan?" Xiao Wu had also heard rumors about Female Hooligan in the Adventurer's Guild. They were a type of scumbag female Soul Master who was dedicated to sleeping with all the men in the world... Anyway, the old men in the Adventurer's Guild were quite looking forward to it.

We must respect human diversity!

After silently repeating this sentence in his heart, Zhou Qing said, "It's possible, but I think the most likely reason is still for that Soul Bone."

This girl was clearly not from Nuoding City or the surrounding area.

If so, the teachers at the Nuoding Academy would definitely talk about it often. After all, Zhou Qing knew about the graduation situation at the Nuoding Academy. Most students couldn't reach level ten in Soul Power after six years of study. Someone like Xiao Chenyu was able to reach level eleven and become Soul Master in the first semester of his sixth year, was already a rare breed in this small town.

Given that the girl looks like she's fifteen or sixteen and has reached level twenty, she must have become Soul Master in her fourth or fifth year of school.

Such excellence would inevitably become a topic of conversation among the teachers of the Nuoding Academy, but none of the Junior Teacher of the Nuoding Academy, including Mo Hen, mentioned it once, and even the Nuoding Guild had no information about this girl.

She can only be an outsider!

And the purpose is most likely that it is for that Soul Bone.

To wrong yourself?

Among female Soul Master, a small portion, like male Soul Master, indulge in unrestrained behavior before truly settling down, which doesn't seem to be a big problem... After all, this is a fantasy world with extraordinary powers such as Soul Power and Martial Soul. Female Soul Master, who also possess strength, have the capital to contend with male Soul Master. There's no reason why male Soul Master can be carefree in their youth while female Soul Master must completely guard their chastity.

Although it sounds a bit... outrageous, Zhou Qing deeply understands the principle that productive forces determine relations of production and social consciousness determines social form.

Within the Soul Master community, both men and women possess power, so men naturally cannot completely restrain women.

Moreover, the historical context within the Heaven Dou Empire is similar to that of medieval Europe... But Zhou Qing estimates that those from major sects and families, in terms of their education regarding private life, at least on a material level, have a reason to ensure the purity of their Martial Soul bloodline, and must require their offspring not to be too reckless.

As a result, the common people are more easily influenced and driven by this environment.

That is, to go with the flow.

"Is it really okay for us to talk so loudly? She should be able to hear us, right?" Tang San was speechless at Zhou Qing and Xiao Wu's loud conspiracy.

"We're only six years old, kids say the darndest things," Zhou Qing chuckled. "That's perfectly normal, okay?"

"Yes, she's only six years old, but she knows so much."

The voice arrived before the person appeared.

Then, the girl slowly revealed her figure.

At this moment, she was already dressed in a white dress and sat down on the soft chair opposite Zhou Qing and the others. She looked them over and said, "Apart from this ordinary little girl, how do you two look like six-year-old children?"

"You're the one who's plain and unremarkable!" Ever since Zhou Qing learned another meaning of "plain and unremarkable," Xiao Wu would get angry whenever she heard the word, regardless of the occasion, especially when she saw a girl in front of her who was even flatter than herself. She would then Taunt, "If I grow to your age, I'll definitely be older than you!"

The girl wore a disdainful expression ( ̄_, ̄), with the corners of her mouth turned up, and said to Zhou Qing, "You're quite clever, you actually knew that I came for that Soul Bone. Do you want to cooperate with me? In the future, I can make you go from a boy to a man."

"Thank you, but I'm afraid of contracting venereal disease." Zhou Qing refused without hesitation.

"Yes, you already have someone you like, that Romantina," the girl said playfully.

Zhou Qing paused for a moment while picking up the cake with her chopsticks, then continued using them.

Do you like Romantina?

At least, Zhou Qing felt that he didn't have any emotional feelings for her at the moment. If he did, it was only about how to use her and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in her mind.

It's not surprising that the woman in front of them knows about their relationship with Romantina. After all, while it's not common knowledge that they went to hunt Soul Beast with Romantina, it's something that anyone could find out by asking at the Nuoding Guild.

Finding out the identities of city lords and deputy city lords is quite simple; just go to the Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy and ask the relevant teachers for their information.

Perhaps City Lord Xiao wouldn't tell Xiao Chenyu, but this woman's goal is that Soul Bone, and she will definitely investigate the intelligence within the City Lord's Mansion in secret.

Knowing that his and Romantina's Martial Soul are both part of themselves, one might speculate that there is some kind of Martial Soul Fusion between them.

"Tang San, if this guy suddenly attacks, how many moves can you take him down?" After finishing his cake, Zhou Qing wiped his chopsticks clean, put them in his storage bag, and asked Tang San in a slightly joking tone, "This guy is investigating us, he knows too much, and now he's threatening us. He's already Path to Death."

Tang San: "..."

Isn't that my catchphrase?
