Hu Liena's Spirit's Flaw, Senior Sister and Junior Brother's Feelings Sour

However, the conflict between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue could not be resolved by a single sentence from Ye Xuan.

Although both Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue harbored a degree of guilt toward one another, they were far too proud to ever lower their heads to the other.

"Ye Xuan, this is no longer your concern. Return to Lake Heart Island and find your senior sister."

It was clear that Bibi Dong did not want Ye Xuan meddling in the relationship between mother and daughter, so she issued a direct order for him to leave.

"Bibi Dong, he cannot leave yet!"

Seeing that Bibi Dong intended to take Ye Xuan away, Qian Renxue was immediately displeased.

Her vengeance had yet to be exacted, and if she left Martial Soul Hall now, she would likely have to wait another year or two before returning; when had she ever suffered such a loss?

Qian Renxue tried to bypass Bibi Dong, but was promptly blocked.

Ye Xuan had been on the verge of leaving, but he paused at that moment, and under the gaze of Qian Renxue's eyes, which seemed capable of spitting fire, he made a provocative gesture toward her.

Please provide the text you would like me to revise. I am ready to translate it into natural, punchy English while adhering to your formatting requirements.

Because Qian Renxue still needed to return to the Heaven Dou Empire to continue her undercover role as a prince, she secretly departed for Heaven Dou Imperial City that very afternoon.

Ye Xuan knew in his heart that this proud little angel would definitely hold a grudge against him.

To avoid being beaten too miserably the next time they met, he began training day and night as soon as he returned to his residence.

During this time, he also learned of the punishment Qian Daoliu and the others had inflicted upon Tang Hao. When the major powers witnessed Tang Hao bound outside the Pope Palace like a castrated dog, they could not help but feel a sense of pity for this man who had once dominated the continent.

But more than pity, they felt dread toward the power of Martial Soul Hall.

Many factions, having heard Martial Soul Hall's high-profile announcement that Tang Hao had been captured alive and reduced to a crippled prisoner, sent spies to Martial Soul Hall to verify the truth of the matter.

Once they learned the reality, it was as if a thorn had been driven into everyone's heart.

Because of the six spirit bones Tang Hao had possessed, all of them—save for his skull—had been completely extracted.

Unable to bear the humiliation, Tang Hao had tried to bite off his tongue to commit suicide, but the old fogies in the Worship Hall were even more ruthless, ensuring he lost his tongue forever.

Now, every day at noon, Tang Hao was hung in Martial Soul Square for two and a half hours, under the pretense of "sunbathing."

But the primary purpose was to humiliate Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect.

One had to realize that Tang Hao's escapes over the years had caused Martial Soul Hall significant negative publicity; now that they had finally caught him, they naturally intended to trample him and the Clear Sky Sect into the dirt.

Time flew by, and two and a half years passed.

Behind the Pope Palace, on Lake Heart Island.

A youth with fair features and an air of nobility in every movement sat quietly in the courtyard, meditating.

Soon, however, his eyes slowly opened, and his gaze fell upon the slightly ajar gate.

After about three to five seconds, a beautiful head peeked out cautiously.

When she saw the youth in the courtyard looking at her, a blush suddenly rose to her cheeks.

"Hee hee, good junior brother, your senior sister has come to see you again. Are you happy?"

Seeing his "good" senior sister running over to his place every few days, Ye Xuan felt not a shred of emotion.

He knew well that his cheap senior sister was already eighteen, the prime age of youth.

Furthermore, in order to master her charm techniques, she spent no small amount of time reading those "unsuitable for children" books.

"Senior sister, you should really read less of that unhealthy literature. After all, you running over here every day isn't exactly appropriate..."

As Ye Xuan spoke, Hu Liena collided directly into his embrace.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to release the ice elemental power of his second spirit ring, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, to help her regain her composure.

"Hehe, thanks to junior brother's help, I am now able to cultivate in the most energized state every single day."

Hu Liena pressed her cheek against Ye Xuan's chest, the cool sensation radiating from his body suppressing the heat rising within her from practicing her charm techniques.

Ye Xuan was also using his spiritual power to help Hu Liena comb through the slightly chaotic threads of spiritual energy within her.

Before long, feeling her body and mind drift into a state of relaxation, Hu Liena fell into a deep sleep in his arms.

Sigh, the original story never mentioned that Hu Liena would experience this kind of situation while cultivating...

According to Hu Liena's description, although her Demon Fox martial soul possessed talent close to Innate Full Soul Power, there was a fundamental flaw in her martial soul.

That was, as she reached puberty, her emotional fluctuations and even her desires were far stronger than those of ordinary spirit masters, though her self-control would improve as her cultivation grew.

Ye Xuan now understood why the Hu Liena of the original story had fallen in love with Tang San, who was using the alias Tang Yin, in the Slaughter City.

Imagine a man of extreme attractiveness who had saved her life more than once in the Slaughter City; coupled with the fact that she did not know Tang Yin was Tang San, her emotional attachment had been pinned entirely on him during those two years of life in the Slaughter City.

This was what led her, even after leaving the Slaughter City and learning that Tang Yin was Tang San, to commit the foolish act of betraying Martial Soul Hall to tip him off.

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan felt a great deal of reflection deep within.

However, those events from the original story had nothing to do with him; now, the trajectory of everyone's fate had begun to shift because of his arrival.

"Heh, Tang San, oh Tang San, your Super Douluo father has already become my stepping stone. I hope you won't disappoint me."

Ye Xuan's gaze rested in the direction of Nuoding City, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Evening.

Martial Soul City, Pope Palace.

Ye Xuan had been summoned by Bibi Dong, feeling completely bewildered.

One had to know that whenever Bibi Dong had something to discuss, she would speak to him in person at Lake Heart Island; she rarely summoned him directly to the Pope Palace on ordinary days.

Yet, before he had even stepped fully into the Pope Palace, he saw a refined young girl standing to one side, dressed in a cyan short skirt and exuding an air of nobility.

The moment she caught sight of him, a flicker of excitement and anticipation appeared in her large eyes.

"Teacher, did you summon me?"

Although Ye Xuan did not quite understand what was happening, he still bowed respectfully toward Bibi Dong.

Seeing his arrival, the brows that Bibi Dong had kept slightly furrowed while tending to official business finally smoothed out.

But soon, a hint of playfulness entered her gaze as she looked at Ye Xuan.

She then shifted her eyes toward the refined young girl standing to the side.

"This reckless little girl just told this teacher that she had already pledged her life to you in secret; I had you come here to deal with this matter."

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Ye Xuan's brain simply crashed, his eyes filled with a look of utter confusion.

"Teacher, she... she is slandering me! This disciple has not even left Lake Heart Island in all these years, so how could I have pledged my life to a girl from the outside?"
