Enemies on a narrow road

"Ye Qinghe, and... Senior Dugu!" Flender exclaimed in shock. Despite his fear, he still shielded Xiao Wu. "My student is absorbing Soul Ring. May I ask what brings you two here?"

The others also showed expressions of fear.

After all, this is the Sunset Forest. If Dugu Bo kills them and then destroys the evidence, probably no one will know. Even if they suspect him, no one would be willing to offend such a powerful and unparalleled group-killing Titled Douluo for something uncertain.

Dugu Bo didn't bother with Flender at all and remained silent. Ye Qinghe looked at Xiao Wu, who was being protected by the eight sycophants, and said, "Old rabbit, we meet again. Is it convenient for us to chat?"

Ye Qinghe's words reminded Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Yu Tianheng of what had happened in the wooden house on the main campus of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. They thought Ye Qinghe was going to take advantage of Xiao Wu again, and their expressions immediately turned ugly. Yu Tianheng, the only one among the four with a relatively powerful background, said, "Ye Qinghe, don't do anything rash."

"Alright, you can all go out now. He won't hurt me," Xiao Wu said.

Even if these four scoundrels were unwilling, they dared not disobey the orders of their beloved Sister Xiao Wu.

Flender, Shao Xin, Li Yusong, and Lu Qibin, intimidated by Dugu Bo's threat, had no choice but to go out with him, filled with anger.

[Ma Hongjun's resentment +8888888]

[Dai Mubai's resentment +8888888]

[Yu Tianheng's resentment +8888888]

[Oscar resentment +8888888]

[Flender's resentment +8888888]

[Ding, three people have been detected who meet the criteria for villainous characters: Lu Qibin, Shao Xin, Li Yusong. Would you like to bind them?]

"There's an unexpected surprise?" A hint of surprise flashed through Ye Qinghe's mind.

Without hesitation, he silently recited in his heart, "Tie."

[Tie successfully.]

[Li Yusong's resentment +888888]

[Li Yusong's favorability -70, current favorability -10. Congratulations, host, you have gained one chance to draw a prize.]

[Lu Qibin's resentment +888888]

[Lu Qibin's favorability -70, current favorability -10. Congratulations, host, you have gained one chance to draw a prize.]

[Shao Xin's resentment +888888]

[Shao Xin's favorability -70, current favorability -10. Congratulations, host, you have gained one chance to draw a prize.]

"System, give me a triple gacha pull," Ye Qinghe silently prayed.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a 100-year adaptive Soul Ring Replacement Card (can replace any Soul Ring with a 100-year adaptive Soul Ring, up to a maximum of 999 years)]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained a one-time Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring upgrade card. (After use, it can overwrite the original Soul Ring and temporarily upgrade it to 10,000 years. After activating the Soul Ring skill once, the Soul Ring will revert to its original state when the Soul Skill is released a second time.)]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Hua Jianghu: The Bad Guys "]

"This is getting interesting. It saves me a Soul Ring Replacement Card."

Upon seeing what was extracted, Ye Qinghe revealed a meaningful smile. The first two items could directly replace Tang San with a hundred years without him even noticing.

The latter Qi Scripture was not sold in the mall, which Ye Qinghe once regretted.

I regret not buying the Supreme Heaven and Earth Technique and the Five Thunder Heart Art from the beginning to cultivate the two fusion techniques.

Because his Nine Nether Mysterious Heaven Skill and Tiangang Formula could not be fully integrated, he could only use one technique each time he circulated his cultivation. Now that he has the Qi Scripture, he can not only integrate them, but also use two Martial Soul at the same time, and perhaps even form a self-fused Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

A moment later, the eight sycophants left. As for Yu Xiaogang, he was poisoned unconscious by Dugu Bo before Ye Qinghe even showed up. Ye Qinghe didn't want him to know that Xiao Wu had contact with him.

Dugu Bo personally went to keep an eye on the eight sycophants to prevent them from spying.

Only Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Ye Qinghe, Tang San who was suffering from the torment of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, and Yu Xiaogang who had fainted remained.

"You go out too." Ye Qinghe glanced at Ning Rongrong.

"You..." Ning Rongrong stomped her feet in anger.

"Alright, Rongrong, you can go out now. He won't hurt me. He just wants to talk to me about something," Xiao Wu comforted her.

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes inwardly. Xiao Wu's mood changed drastically, she had become estranged from Xiao Wu. In fact, she was even cautiously guarding against Xiao Wu in her heart, lest she be led astray.

Now, she wasn't angry because she was worried about Xiao Wu; she was clearly angry because Ye Qinghe had driven her away.

This bastard treats a rabbit whose soul has been merged with eight sycophants like a treasure, yet he repeatedly ignores her, the dignified little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, as nothing. How can she not be furious?

But in the end, she left because Ye Qinghe had already raised his hand to slap her. If she hadn't left, that bastard would definitely have slapped her twice.

[Ning Rongrong's favorability -60, current favorability is zero.]

[Ning Rongrong's resentment +888888]

As soon as Ning Rongrong left, Xiao Wu immediately showed an impatient expression, "What do you want to do now?"

"You're really going to talk to me in front of these two?" Ye Qinghe pointed at Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu stopped talking and turned to walk in another direction.

Ye Qinghe smiled slightly and silently said in his heart, "System, extract the 'Hundred-Year Adaptive Soul Ring Replacement Card ' and the 'One-Time Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring Upgrade Card'."

After retrieving the cards, Ye Qinghe deliberately walked to Tang San's side and, taking advantage of Xiao Wu's inattention, placed the two cards on Tang San's forehead, silently chanting, "Use."

Instantly, the pain on Tang San's face vanished without a trace, and the black Soul Ring beside him turned yellow, before returning to black a moment later.

In other words, Tang San is currently absorbing this temporarily enhanced adaptive Hundred-Year Soul Ring. He needs to go through the pain of absorbing Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, but after using it once, it will at most become a nine hundred and ninety-nine-year Soul Ring.

The only difference is that there is no Soul Shock.

After doing all this, Ye Qinghe had a black Soul Ring in his hand. It was the Soul Ring of the ten-thousand-year-old green tortoise. He casually put it away, then suddenly stopped and said to Xiao Wu, "Alright, I'm fine now. Goodbye."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Xiao Wu watched Ye Qinghe's departing figure with a completely bewildered expression.

When Ye Qinghe walked out of the valley, Shrek's eight sycophants, along with Ning Rongrong, all breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this bastard hadn't done anything to Xiao Wu; at most, he had just taken advantage of her.

After all, even if someone is impotent, it's impossible for them to emerge so quickly.

Ye Qinghe ignored them, replaced Tang San's Soul Ring, and with the addition of the Qi Scripture, he felt refreshed. He spread his Evil God Wings and flew away with Dugu Bo.

P. S.: Alright, enough with the buildup. I'll start writing about the Soul Master Tournament tomorrow. It'll be time to torment Ning Fengzhi and flirt with Qian Renxue.
