Tricking a Golden-Haired Dragon Girl into Coming Along, Seven Consecutive Levels Leave Everyone Stunned
The wind whistled in my ears.
Dai Huabin activated the Flying Soul Tool, steadily supporting Di Lingxi with both hands.
The girl clung to him tightly, her blonde hair ruffled by the wind, occasionally brushing against his chin and tickling him slightly.
Her figure was shapely and graceful; holding her in my arms, I couldn't help but have some impure thoughts.
Unaware that Dai Huabin had no time to process what was happening, his mind was racing: how was he going to explain the sudden appearance of a large, living person in his arms when they caught up with the main group?
Zhu Lu was easy to deal with; she had seen the Auspicious Beast and they understood each other perfectly.
But what will Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Ma Xiaotao, and Zhang Lexuan, the Grandmaster of the Inner Academy, think?
He went out for a short while and brought back a stunning blonde girl?
I reckon my image in this team is now completely tied to the word "womanizer".
Dai Huabin sighed helplessly to himself.
Never mind, it doesn't matter anymore.
Anyway, I'm not exactly a good person, so be it. Being a lecherous lecher is better than lying and not being able to cover it up.
"Huabin, what are you thinking about?"
A crisp sound came from my arms.
Di Lingxi tilted her head back, a strand of golden hair clinging to her fair cheek, her amber-gold pupils staring intently at him.
"I'm thinking about how to introduce you to the Grandmaster later," Dai Huabin said truthfully, glancing down at her.
Di Lingxi blinked and replied matter-of-factly, "What's so difficult about that? Just tell them I'm your older sister!"
Dai Huabin couldn't resist and freed one hand to pinch her soft cheek. "No way! If you want to be someone, you can only be the younger sister!"
"Why?" Di Lingxi shook her head in dissatisfaction, trying to break free from his grasp. "I've lived much longer than you!"
"In the human world, I call the shots."
Dai Huabin tightened his grip, causing Di Lingxi to gasp softly before he released her.
"Remember, it's your sister."
Ice Empress, flying alongside them, couldn't stand it any longer and interjected:
"What's there to worry about? When we meet her, we'll just say she's from my and Xue'er's family."
Xue Qingyao nodded slightly from the other side, her clear, cool voice carrying over:
"Yes, Huabin, let's just say it like that. A junior from a reclusive family coming out for training—that's the easiest excuse."
Dai Huabin thought this was a good idea; at least it made sense on the surface. It's normal for a reclusive family to have a few more members.
He looked down at Di Lingxi, who had settled down in his arms again, and casually asked:
"Ling Xi, now that you've transformed into human form and started cultivating again, what level of strength do you possess?"
Di Lingxi tilted her head back, her tone tinged with smugness:
"Level 58. My Martial Soul is the Golden Dragon; I'm incredibly strong, and most people simply can't beat me."
Level 58.
Dai Huabin silently made his plans.
The potential of the auspicious Auspicious Beast form is indeed terrifying; it starts at a level higher than most Inner Academy disciples.
Furthermore, with the ultimate power of the Golden Dragon Martial Soul, his combat ability is probably no less than that of a high-level Soul Emperor.
"Alright, level 58 is enough." Dai Huabin nodded. "When you meet them later, remember not to say anything out of line, and just follow my instructions."
Di Lingxi obediently said "Oh," then buried her face in his chest again, hugging him even tighter.
After a long while, as darkness fell, the outline of a continuous mountain range appeared in the distance.
Dai Huabin sensed the fluctuations in the Soul Power of Zhang Lexuan and the others from afar.
The team is resting on a gentle hillside.
Four streaks of light descended from the sky and landed steadily on the open ground.
The Flying Soul Tool was retracted, and Dai Huabin carried Di Lingxi to the ground.
The people who had been resting nearby stopped in unison.
An eerie silence fell over the air.
Wang Dong'er was still holding a water bottle in her hand, her mouth slightly open.
Xiao Xiao rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things.
Cui Yajie gasped.
Ma Xiaotao crossed her arms, looked the blonde girl in Dai Huabin's arms up and down, and sneered:
"Huabin, your personal affair has not only taken a long time, but you've also reaped quite a reward."
Zhang Lexuan stood not far away, her expression calm, but her eyebrows twitched slightly.
Zhu Lu was the first to step forward. Ignoring the blonde girl, she first took Dai Huabin's wrist and softly asked:
"You weren't in any danger, were you?"
"No." Dai Huabin took Zhu Lu's hand in return and squeezed it to reassure her.
He put Di Lingxi down, cleared his throat, and faced the crowd:
"Let me introduce you. This is Di Lingxi, the younger sister of Xue'er and Bing'er's family. We happened to run into her while we were training nearby, so we brought her along."
Ice Empress readily stepped forward, took Di Lingxi's hand, and nodded to everyone with a stern face:
"My cousin, her family elders sent her out to broaden her horizons."
Xue Qingyao stood to the side, maintaining her usual aloofness, and remained silent, but this in itself was a pre-arranged premise.
Wang Dong'er shoved the water bottle heavily into her bag and muttered to herself:
"What kind of family is this, producing only beauties who are so stunning they could bring ruin to a country, and they all flock to you?"
Cui Yajie nodded in agreement.
Ma Xiaotao took a few steps closer and circled around Di Lingxi. Di Lingxi looked back without backing down, exuding a faint aura of arrogant pressure.
"This little girl has quite a temper."
Ma Xiaotao sensed the faint but palpable pressure emanating from the man, and was secretly surprised.
She's a level 67 Soul Emperor; anyone who can put pressure on her must be an extraordinary blonde girl.
Zhang Lexuan walked over, her voice gentle, but with a hint of scrutiny:
"Since she's Xue Qingyao and Bing Hanyue's cousin, it's fine for her to come with the group. However, we're on a surveillance mission this time, which carries some risk. What is Ling Xi's cultivation level?"
"Level 58," Dai Huabin answered for her.
Upon hearing this, a collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd.
Yao Haoxuan's eyes widened:
"How many? Level 58? He looks to be at most eighteen years old."
Chen Zifeng also looked like he'd seen a ghost.
These Inner Academy disciples, which one of them didn't fight tooth and nail to reach the Soul King level, and then some random girl pops up and's already at level fifty-eight?
A flicker of surprise crossed Zhang Lexuan's eyes, then she nodded. "Level 58, not bad. Let's go together then."
She was just about to turn around and tell everyone to keep going when she suddenly stopped.
Zhang Lexuan suddenly turned her head and stared intently at Dai Huabin.
Not only her, but also Wu Ming, Han Ruoruo, and Ma Xiaotao, these top combatants of the Inner Academy, noticed something was wrong at almost the same time.
"Huabin, is there any fluctuation in your Soul Power?"
Ma Xiaotao's voice was full of surprise. She stepped forward, grabbed Dai Huabin's shoulder, and felt him up and down.
Dai Huabin made no attempt to conceal himself, openly releasing his Soul Power.
Level 55!
