Sworn Sister Zhang Lexuan, The Path to Six Extreme Attributes

Upon hearing Mu En's words—and seeing the mischievous gleam in his eyes—Ye Chen's body began to tremble involuntarily, as though he had recalled some unpleasant memories.

The "she" Mu En spoke of was the Eldest Senior Sister of the Shrek Inner Court, Mu En's adopted granddaughter, and Ye Chen's sworn sister—Zhang Lexuan!

From a very young age, Zhang Lexuan had left a deep impression on Ye Chen. Every so often, she would assert the authority of her role as his "sworn sister" before him.

Sometimes, Zhang Lexuan would even "discipline" Ye Chen at night, to the point that even now, merely hearing her name made his body tremble slightly.

Yet their relationship was exceptionally close. Back then, Mu En had noticed that Zhang Lexuan held little affection for Beibei, while she clung to Ye Chen all day instead.

So Mu En summoned Zhang Lexuan and asked her what she wanted regarding that marriage.

Mu En had always felt deeply guilty toward Zhang Lexuan over this matter. Before meeting Ye Chen, Zhang Lexuan had still intended to continue honoring her agreement with Mu En.

But after meeting Ye Chen, Zhang Lexuan decided to live for herself just once, so she told Mu En what she truly thought.

Upon hearing this, Mu En was actually very happy. He also hoped Zhang Lexuan would think more about herself, so he canceled the marriage.

Then, around the time Ye Chen was approaching his Martial Soul Awakening, Zhang Lexuan had left his side because of a mission from the Shrek Inspection Team.

Now, for some unknown reason, Zhang Lexuan had returned early from the Shrek Inspection Team, leaving Ye Chen somewhat puzzled.

"Mu En, why did Sister Lexuan come back early?"

Seeing Ye Chen's nervous appearance, Mu En smiled with his youthful face and began to explain.

"A few days ago—during the time you were taken away by Di Tian—I knew my days were numbered, so I called Lexuan back. I wanted to leave her with a few words."

After saying that, Mu En tilted his head up toward the sky, his eyes full of kindness.

"By my calculations, Lexuan should arrive very soon."

Though Ye Chen was afraid of seeing Zhang Lexuan, he still had to meet her no matter what.

And he had to look happy to see her—enthusiastic, even. Otherwise, what awaited him would be his sister's affectionate greetings.

Then Ye Chen seemed to recall something and looked excitedly at Mu En.

"Right, Mu En, there's something else I need to tell you. I almost forgot."

Ye Chen smacked his own forehead, silently lamenting how he could have forgotten such an important matter.

With that, Ye Chen summoned his martial soul, the Emperor Aurora Sword. The moment it appeared, the Light Element, as always, gathered toward his sword.

But as a seasoned Limit Douluo, Mu En naturally noticed the change that had occurred in Ye Chen's martial soul.

"This... this is Extreme Gold!"

"Little Chen, how could you have?! Dual Extreme Attributes!"

Feeling the aura emanating from Ye Chen's Aurora Sword, Mu En could barely restrain his emotions as he asked in astonishment.

Ye Chen told Mu En about how he had absorbed the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's soul ring that day.

He also told Mu En his theory: every time he absorbed a soul ring with a Five Elements Attribute, he would gain an Extreme Attribute!

Hearing this, Mu En frowned slightly, clearly finding the decision difficult as well.

For Ye Chen's Third Soul Ring, should he obtain a soul ring with a Five Elements Attribute, or continue seeking a gold-attribute or light-attribute soul ring?

In the end, however, he decided to let Ye Chen choose for himself. A soul master's path could only be decided by the soul master himself.

What Mu En could do was merely reduce some of the unnecessary setbacks on Ye Chen's path as a soul master. That was what he should do as a teacher.

After considering it, Ye Chen ultimately chose to absorb a wood-attribute soul ring for his Third Soul Ring.

Somehow, he felt that absorbing a wood-attribute soul ring was the path most suited to him as a soul master!

The two chatted for a while longer. Afterward, Ye Chen left and headed toward his home.

When Ye Chen returned home and opened the door, he found an exceptionally beautiful woman inside, staring at him.

"S-Sister Lexuan!"

Ye Chen stammered as he spoke, his gaze falling upon the gentle and lovely big sister before him.

Zhang Lexuan had silky, lustrous hair that fell all the way to her waist.

Her willow-leaf brows were elegantly arched, while her nose bridge was high without appearing sharp. Her pale pink lips gleamed with moisture, their slightly upturned curve resembling pear blossoms opened by the spring breeze.

She wore garments interwoven with silver, gold, and green. The sleeves along both arms were black, and the fitted outfit perfectly displayed her figure, revealing the exquisite bearing of a mature beauty.

Her features were refined, her skin crystal-clear like snow, and her bright eyes resembled a Goddess beneath moonlight, exuding an aloof yet noble temperament.

Her figure was alluring, full in the right places and slender at the waist. Even her loose clothing seemed unable to conceal her proud physique. Those magnificent curves drew Ye Chen's attention.

She also wore glossy black stockings over her legs, decorated with strips of golden patterns. Black and gold intertwined, lending her a touch of mysterious allure.

The black stockings paired with her overall attire further accentuated the graceful lines of her legs, adding both sensuality and refinement to her appearance.

Finally, she wore a pair of black high heels with red soles. Leaning back on the stool in Ye Chen's room with her legs crossed, the raised red-soled heel pointed directly toward him, as though it were trying to hook his very soul.

What drew Ye Chen's gaze most was Zhang Lexuan's calm and gentle disposition, along with a sacred, inviolable air like that of a noble matron.

Though she was only around twenty, she possessed an inexplicable maturity—the sort that lay between a young maiden and a married woman, lacking only that final barrier between the two.

Perhaps once that barrier was broken, the aura she exuded would make men with Chancellor Cao Cao's tastes flock to her.

"Little Chen."

There was a hint of laughter in Zhang Lexuan's voice, its ending slightly rising with a touch of seduction.

After speaking, Zhang Lexuan lifted her crossed leg and walked toward Ye Chen, the clicking of her high heels against the floor strangely pleasant.

When she reached him, before Ye Chen could react, Zhang Lexuan crouched down. Her bright eyes stared into his golden pupils as both hands kneaded his chubby little cheeks.

"Did you miss your sister?"

Ye Chen rubbed his cheeks, which hurt a little from being pinched, and looked at Zhang Lexuan's exquisite face as he answered in a soft, childish voice.

"Sister Lexuan, Little Chen definitely missed you."

Upon hearing that, Zhang Lexuan's face immediately broke into an excited smile. She rubbed Ye Chen's head, an indescribable meaning flickering in her eyes.

"Little Chen, you're so good."

After that, Ye Chen lay on his own bed while Zhang Lexuan lay on the other bed.

Zhang Lexuan began telling Ye Chen about everything she had experienced over the past year.

The places she had gone, the Evil Soul Masters she had slain, and how many ranks of Soul Power she had broken through...

Ye Chen listened quietly until he could no longer hold on and finally drifted off to sleep.
