Chen Ye's soul attack all landed halfway, swallowed by a golden ball of light. It possessed the same nature as the earlier golden radiance, bringing an intense oppressive force that made Chen Ye's charging Soul Spirit feel far heavier.
Yet unlike that earlier golden light, the aura emanating from this ball of light inflicted even greater harm on Chen Ye. Approaching it was like approaching the sun. Chen Ye's Soul Spirit, which had been charging at you, had its survival instinct pushed to its peak and almost instantly changed direction, fleeing away from you.
And during Chen Ye's escape, his Soul Spirit suffered an extremely severe second blow. It swayed on the verge of collapse, as though it would melt and evaporate like a candle beneath a flame the very next moment.
With this single attempt, Chen Ye recognized your strength. At least in his current state as a Soul Spirit, even if he entered your body, he would have no chance whatsoever of competing with you. And now that he had left the withered bones, he had no path of retreat. Blocked by your physical body and unable to leave, he could only yield and keep begging you, exhausting every flattering word he could think of from his entire life.
Even though Chen Ye had noticed that you did not intend to kill him immediately, he was still worried that you might change your mind because of his earlier lack of tact. He did not dare bargain in the slightest, only hoping that he could be of use to you.
Thanks to Chen Ye's mindset, before you even spoke, he had already laid out most of his value and everything he could do. Although you already knew all of it, Chen Ye's attitude still made you feel quite comfortable.
