Master, You Smell So Good!

Ye Yuan nodded, then slowly rose from his seat.

Just then, the auction house manager walked in.

Behind her followed several guards, pulling a large cage that held the cat-girl he had just purchased.

Inside the cage, the cat-girl kept scanning her surroundings; to her, Ye Yuan's room was an unfamiliar environment, filled with a sense of danger.

"Mr. Ye, this is your auction item."

"The collar around her neck is a special Soul Tool that can temporarily restrict her abilities."

"When you do 'that' with her, remember not to take it off."

Ye Yuan nodded and replied, "Mm, I understand. You all may leave now."

After they left, Ye Yuan leaned in slightly, but the cat-girl did not hiss at him.

Instead, she stared at Ye Yuan blankly, causing him to feel puzzled: "You creature, you were baring your fangs when they were here, so why are you so well-behaved now?"

The cat-girl's current appearance stood in stark contrast to a moment ago; she now looked very docile, wearing an innocent and guileless expression.

"Human, you smell so good," the cat-girl said.

Ye Yuan exclaimed, "You can talk?"

The cat-girl nodded, staring straight at the Ye Yuan before her; she could clearly smell the fragrance emanating from this man.

For some reason, she felt that this man before her radiated an inexplicable attraction.

It made her unable to resist wanting to get close to him.

Ye Yuan hadn't expected this cat-girl to be able to speak; he had assumed she was still uncivilized.

However, this was for the best, as it would make communication much easier.

Just as Ye Yuan was struggling with what to do next, the cat-girl's next words caught him off guard.

She struck a seductive pose and said to Ye Yuan, "Master, do you want to eat me?"

Ye Yuan shuddered instantly—no, what kind of bold and suggestive remark was that!

"Who taught you that?!" he asked.

The cat-girl rolled her eyes, then spoke in a coy, affected voice: "It was a woman who guarded me when I was first captured."

"She said if I didn't learn it well, I wouldn't get any food, so I learned it. I've resisted everyone else, but I don't feel the slightest bit of aversion toward Master."

Ye Yuan pondered for a moment, guessing that the half-Soul Beast bloodline in his own body made her feel a sense of kinship.

Wait, was he actually this lucky? She was ready to serve him without even needing to be broken in.

Ye Yuan slowly opened the cage, ready at any moment to summon his Martial Soul.

After all, he didn't want to entrust his life entirely to the Soul Tool around the cat-girl's neck.

"I can help you take off the restrictive Soul Tool on your neck, but the condition is that you must be loyal to me forever. How about it?"

"You must obey every order I give, do you understand?"

The cat-girl tilted her head and looked at Ye Yuan, saying, "I already belong to Master, don't I?"

Fine, it seemed the woman at the auction house had trained her quite well.

In truth, what Ye Yuan didn't know was that the cat-girl only used the tricks the woman had taught her on Ye Yuan.

The other men who had tried to touch her before had all been scratched by her.

"Alright then." Ye Yuan carefully unfastened the Soul Tool from the cat-girl's neck.

The moment it was removed, the cat-girl's soul power surged instantly.

In just a moment, her soul power climbed directly to level 46.

This left Ye Yuan feeling quite astonished; no wonder—looking at this cat-girl's appearance, one really couldn't tell she was a level 46 Soul Master.

"What is your Martial Soul? Show it to me."

"Mm."

The cat-girl immediately circulated her soul power to release her Martial Soul.

In an instant, the phantom of a pitch-black tiger with heterochromatic eyes appeared behind her.

Her features also began to change continuously, her figure becoming more voluptuous and her appearance more bewitching.

Was this not the same as Ye Yuan's Candle Dragon Emperor body?

It seemed his guess was correct; this woman's Martial Soul wasn't a mutation at all, but rather the result of her possessing half-Soul Beast bloodline.

Still, this woman looked a bit too...

"From now on, you will stay by my side. When the time is right, I will arrange other tasks for you."

"As you wish, Master."

This cat-girl had no shortage of talent; at this age, she was already a level 46 Soul Master.

If properly cultivated, she would surely become a capable assistant in the future.

Ye Yuan planned to keep him by his side for a few days to train him before sending him off to teacher Qian Renxue.

After all, the establishment of the Heavenly Court could not have happened without the support of the Martial Soul Hall.

He sat on the sofa, feeling somewhat listless.

Ever since that time with Dugu Yan, he felt as though he had become addicted.

Every night, whenever he thought of that scene, he couldn't fall asleep.

When it came down to it, Ye Yuan was still a hot-blooded young man.

"Right, do you not have a name?" Ye Yuan asked.

The cat-girl shook her head, "No."

"That woman only taught me how to speak; she didn't give me a name or teach me how to write."

Ye Yuan looked at this face that could topple kingdoms and thought of a certain anime character from his past life.

"How about you go by Anna from now on?"

"Anna?"

Ye Yuan immediately stood up, picked up a fountain pen from the side, and wrote two names on a piece of paper, saying, "This is your name. It is a name that belongs to you, Anna."

"This is my name, Ye Yuan. From now on, you, Anna, belong only to me, Ye Yuan."

Anna nodded, "Anna belongs only to Master?"

"That's right. From now on, whatever I tell you to do, you do. Do you understand?"

Anna processed Ye Yuan's words in her mind for a moment before finally nodding, "Mm!"

"Anna belongs only to Master."

"Then is Master also only for Anna?" Anna asked in return.

How was Ye Yuan supposed to answer that? Still, he didn't refute it; at the very least, she knew that from now on, she only needed to listen to him.

At this moment, Anna stepped forward, "Master, are you tired?"

Ye Yuan said, "A little. Why?"

"I have also learned many ways to relieve a master's fatigue."

"Oh? You know how to do that too?"

Anna walked up to him, face-to-face. Her breath was as fragrant as orchids, and the alluring scent of a young girl wafted into Ye Yuan's nose.

She pulled the clothing on her body straight down.

"That woman told me that when Master is tired, we should help Master relieve the fatigue like this, by feeding Master buns to eat!"

Anna's eyes looked innocent and naive, forming a sharp contrast with her actions.

Before Ye Yuan could even react, Anna pulled his head directly toward her.

"Master, don't be shy. Eat up; these buns are very fragrant."

Ye Yuan felt like he couldn't catch his breath.

His hand, which had been about to resist, came to a halt.

After all, he was her master; what was wrong with enjoying himself? Ever since that time with Dugu Yan, he had developed a taste for it and found himself unable to stop.

Ye Yuan took the initiative, while Anna's expression became hazy. In truth, she was enjoying it herself; after all, she always found herself wanting to get closer to Ye Yuan, and now she finally had the chance.

Recalling Ye Yuan's words from earlier, she said dotingly, "Master belongs only to Anna. If anyone tries to steal you... then Anna will kill them!"

Just as Ye Yuan was about to take the next step, his door was kicked open.

A beautiful girl wearing a pink dress burst in.
