Yue Er's soul!
But these were still too far away. Nan Liujing wanted his reward, so he immediately explained Xu Cang's matter to Leng Yaozhu.
Leng Yaozhu smiled disdainfully, telling him to just relax.
After bidding farewell to his teacher, Nan Liujing rushed to the entrance of the Heavenly Spirit Tower without delay.
"Let's go," Nan Liujing said to Ye Xinglan, who was sitting on the sofa.
The two walked side by side, passing through the crowds in the hall.
The sun set, casting a flowing golden edge on the silhouette of Shrek City. Traffic began to build up on the bustling streets.
They took a ride-hailing car and headed straight for Yu Hao Grilled Fish Shop, which had a soul.
When they arrived, the shop was already packed with people inside and out. The aroma of grilled fish wafted through the old alley, enticing every passerby.
As they spent their first real time alone together, Ye Xinglan's smile was brighter than usual.
But when she thought of future opponents who were developing faster than her, she suddenly lost her appetite.
"Nan Liujing, what kind of girl do you like?" Ye Xinglan asked, holding her straw and gently shaking the bright red watermelon juice inside, feeling lost.
Why are you asking me this too? Nan Liujing glanced at her and retorted, "Then what kind of guy do you like?"
"Someone like you."
Ye Xinglan actually answered, and she was as quick and accurate as her sword.
But as soon as the words left her mouth, Nan Liujing and Ye Xinglan both froze, as if electrocuted.
With Nan Liujing's sharp eyesight, it was not difficult to see that Ye Xinglan's fair cheeks were quickly tinged with a blush.
As if realizing she had spoken too much, Ye Xinglan quickly entered combat mode, devouring the fish frantically, ignoring everything else.
Nan Liujing watched her for a while before finally saying, "You've almost sucked the bones out of this fish. Let's order a few more. We can afford it."
Ye Xinglan's pretty face was so red it was almost bleeding. She could only mumble an "mm."
Until they paid the bill, she still hadn't gotten the answer she wanted from Nan Liujing.
As soon as they walked out of the lively grilled fish shop, a cool evening breeze blew towards them.
The fresh air quickly relaxed them.
"There's a park nearby. Want to take a walk?" The words were already out, and there was no turning back. Ye Xinglan felt more relaxed. She smiled and asked Nan Liujing, "Shall we walk?"
"Then let's go," Nan Liujing quickened his pace.
"Wait for me." Ye Xinglan followed closely, her long legs striding.
As they walked, Nan Liujing bought two ice creams.
When they passed by floor tiles with squares, Ye Xinglan would try to play hopscotch.
"When did you learn to play hopscotch?" Nan Liujing asked curiously, looking at the girl with golden hair like tassels under the dim streetlights.
Ye Xinglan finished a round smoothly and smiled, "I learned it online. It's my first time playing. How was it? Am I talented?"
"Indeed talented!" Nan Liujing almost gave her a thumbs-up.
Ye Xinglan proudly raised her fair chin, then saw Nan Liujing staring intently at her legs.
"What are you looking at?" Her face turned red. In this era, with such advanced internet, she knew some people had a special preference for stockings, and she happened to be wearing white stockings today.
So, the seemingly honest Nan Liujing actually had this kind of preference.
"When you were jumping, didn't you notice that these floor tiles aren't perfectly aligned? Just a friendly reminder, it rained last night." Nan Liujing glanced at her ankles, which were stained with muddy water.
"What?" Ye Xinglan was startled. She looked down and her eyes went black.
My white stockings!
They turned black!
Chatting and laughing, the two soon arrived at a not-too-large park.
Singing could be heard nearby. A group of aunts in their fifties and sixties, dressed in neat outfits, were dancing in unison.
There was also a group of children playing with skateboards on the flat ground. The forest paths in the park were not short of people strolling, all to aid digestion.
The disadvantage of the park not being large was that the two soon finished their tour. They finally found a bench to sit on. However, what surprised Ye Xinglan was that although there were many residents nearby and many passersby just now, why were there suddenly no people?
What's more, the light nearby seemed to be tinged with a faint silver, even though the moon was hidden by clouds and mist, not showing at all.
"I'm so tired." As she watched, Ye Xinglan suddenly leaned on Nan Liujing's shoulder, her eyes closed, as if she had fallen asleep.
Nan Liujing's gaze sharpened. Directly in front of the bench, in a pool of water, the water was piling up upwards, turning into a bright silver, vaguely condensing into a blurry figure.
The figure became clearer, walking out of the pool and gradually transforming into an old woman.
She stood not far from Nan Liujing. Wisps of silver light rose from behind her head, eventually manifesting into a silver bright moon. The surrounding vegetation was also bathed in a faint light.
"In this world, there are two types of Evil Soul Masters: one is innate, and the other is gradually exposed as life progresses."
The old woman spoke quickly, her voice devoid of any emotion.
Her gaze condescended upon Nan Liujing from above.
"The former must be eliminated with lightning means, and the latter must be extinguished from the possibility of becoming an Evil Soul Master, restoring peace to the world."
"You should thank me for reforming you before you caused a catastrophe."
Nan Liujing moved slightly to make it more comfortable for Ye Xinglan to sleep on him, then chuckled softly:
"You keep calling me an Evil Soul Master. Does Shrek Academy just casually slander someone as an Evil Soul Master and then attack? What kind of logic is that?"
"The five words 'Shrek Academy' are the logic!"
Cai Yuer, whose identity was revealed in one sentence and who was performing alone, couldn't help but be stunned. Veins immediately bulged on her forehead. She snorted coldly, and the Bright Moon behind her head released thousands of light threads, all flying towards Nan Liujing.
I originally wanted to leave some room for your future, but now, if there's even a sliver of a possibility you'll go down the wrong path, I must sever it!
"Bang!"
Just as the light threads were still a full two meters away from Nan Liujing, they hit an impenetrable air wall and stopped in mid-air.
Cai Yuer's expression changed drastically. She was horrified to find that her released Soul Power was like sinking into a quagmire, making it extremely difficult to escape.
As she was stunned, a powerful and resonant zither melody drifted over. Heaven and earth seemed to turn upside down, like Kyōka Suigetsu, stirring up faint ripples.
Under this zither melody, Cai Yuer fearfully discovered that her soul seemed to be peeling away from her body.
"Sound Wave Soul Skill!"
A silver light flashed on her forehead, and she was about to release her Battle Armor.
However, where the light threads had hit the air wall, space shattered, and endless darkness surged out, erupting like a torrent. In Cai Yuer's eyes, which had shrunk to a slit, a heavy and ancient halberd, with its sharp tip, pierced directly into her brow. A terrifying Soul Power forced her Battle Armor back.
"I'd like to see how Yun Ming and the people from Shrek Academy will redeem you this time."
A cold, murderous voice rang out. To Nan Liujing's equally surprised gaze, a tall and sturdy figure emerged from the darkness. He ferociously grabbed Cai Yuer's head with one hand.
Level ninety-six Super Douluo, a Three-word Battle Armor Master, couldn't cause any disturbance. Like a fish waiting to be slaughtered, she was firmly grasped.
"Hmph." Qiangu Qingfeng snorted coldly. His palm turned pitch black and actually merged directly into Cai Yuer's body. Then, he forcefully pulled out a phantom light and shadow.
That was Cai Yuer's soul!
With her soul detached from her body, Cai Yuer truly panicked, screaming and roaring.
"Qiangu Qingfeng, do you want to start a war between Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda?"
"War?" Another cold snort sounded. Beside Nan Liujing, a beautiful woman with a cold and icy demeanor appeared. She walked to Qiangu Qingfeng's side and looked directly at Cai Yuer.
"Then I'd like to see if Shrek Academy will go to war with the Spirit Pagoda for you!"
As her voice fell, the beautiful woman waved her left hand. Beneath the zither, music played, soaring into the sky, and then exploded in the vast sky.
The surging sound waves rushed outwards, tearing through the clouds and distorting space, like an aurora descending. They only stopped after reaching outside Shrek Academy.
Under the astonished gazes of countless people in Shrek Academy, two streams of light shot out from the inner courtyard like lightning.
