Tang Ya's Martial Soul Evolution

Tang Wutong saw Jiang Nannan come out alone. She tilted her head in confusion. "What about the other one?"

A different scene played out in the courtyard. Tang Ya was still in Xiao Yi's arms.

"Xiao Yi, you already know?" Her voice trembled a little, and she didn't dare look into his eyes.

Xiao Yi blinked but didn't answer.

When she heard no reply, her unease and fear grew. She struggled to speak.

"Xiao Yi, I... I've never used that power. I really am not an Evil Soul Master. I... I don't want this pill, okay?" Tang Ya's voice caught with tears as she looked at Xiao Yi through tear-blurred eyes.

She thought Xiao Yi had learned about the evil power hidden in her Martial Soul. How would he see her then? How would the people around her see her?

"Silly Tang Ya, of course I know you're not an Evil Soul Master." Xiao Yi wiped away the tears at the corner of the girl's eyes, then finally explained what the pill was really for.

Only then did Tang Ya realize that if Xiao Yi had known about the evil power in her Martial Soul, he wouldn't have helped her evolve it.

Xiao Yi had played a little word game, deliberately avoiding the pill's true purpose and vaguely describing it as awakening a hidden power. He wasn't wrong, either. If Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass were ordinary Blue Silver Grass instead of Dark Blue Silver Grass, the pill probably wouldn't be enough to transform it into the Blue Silver Emperor.

The leap from zero to one was always the hardest.

Besides, Dark Blue Silver Grass was already quite powerful. If it evolved into the Dark Blue Silver Emperor and Tang Ya kept it a secret, then what if she went dark and turned out even stronger? That would be a disaster.

He wanted Tang Ya to tell him herself, so he could guide her properly.

Only then did Tang Ya tell Xiao Yi the secret she had kept buried in her heart. He listened quietly, gently patting her back to soothe her agitation.

After she finished, she felt as though a heavy burden had been lifted. Ever since learning about this power, she had been uneasy.

"Tang Ya, power itself isn't good or evil. What matters is how the person wielding it uses it. I believe in you, Tang Ya."

"Besides, after your Martial Soul evolves, you won't need to worry about your cultivation speed falling behind. You won't have to use that power. Of course, it's also an advantage. As long as you don't kill innocent people indiscriminately, this ability is incredibly powerful."

Xiao Yi smiled at the beauty in his arms.

"I understand, Xiao Yi." Tang Ya affectionately rubbed against his chest. As long as the man before her didn't abandon her, that was all that mattered. She had truly been frightened just now, and had panicked.

Though their relationship had begun in a strange way, she remembered how kind Xiao Yi had been to her during these past days. She had opened her heart and fallen for him from the bottom of it.

"All right, Tang Ya. Take the pill now. I'll protect you while you absorb it."

He swept Tang Ya up into his arms, making her let out a startled cry before she curled shyly against him. She knew they had serious business to attend to, but that didn't mean they couldn't do something else first.

Of course, Xiao Yi had no intention of doing anything. If nothing went wrong, that Haji-Tong outside was about to blow a fuse.

Following Xiao Yi's instructions, Tang Ya swallowed the pill and summoned her Martial Soul to absorb its medicinal power. The Blue Silver Grass soon began growing at a tremendous pace, until it completely enveloped Tang Ya, forming a great blue-black cocoon. Golden patterns began spreading along the edges of the grass.

The Blue Silver Grass wrapped around her.

After sensing the steady growth of Tang Ya's aura inside, Xiao Yi finally left with peace of mind.

The transformation of a Martial Soul brought more than just an increase in its strength. It also improved its owner's talent. From now on, even without using the devouring attribute inherent to Dark Blue Silver Grass, Tang Ya would possess the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul.

When he reached the courtyard gate and opened it, he found Princess Tang there, puffed up with anger, her cheeks bulging like a pufferfish.

"What, you remembered I was coming tonight? You were inside being all lovey-dovey with another girl." Tang Wutong followed Xiao Yi inside, looking around for Tang Ya. So what if Tang Ya was the Tang Sect's leader? Her own father was the Tang Sect's founding ancestor. How dare Tang Ya, a mere descendant, try to lord it over her?

But as she stepped into the room, the door behind her slammed shut.

"Huh?" Before she could react, a tingling sensation swept over her body.

Tang Wutong went limp on the spot and immediately settled down. Fighting the tremors running through her and the yearning rising within, she turned to Xiao Yi and gave him a seductive look.

"Be gentle... Ahh."

Soon, the room filled with a series of amorous sounds. The little butterfly clumsily took flight that night, only to crash before long. She was terrible at it, yet loved it anyway.

Moonlight streamed through the window and fell upon the cocoon Tang Ya had formed. For some reason, the blue, gold, and black light surrounding it seemed to have gained another color.

Over the next few days, Xiao Yi spent his time studying medicinal herbs and standing beside the great cocoon with Jiang Nannan to watch it, as well as taming Tang Wutong whenever she reverted to her old nature.

The girl seemed to have realized that acting haughty earned her a reward, and for a while she became even worse than before. Xiao Yi had no choice but to stop indulging her. Could that really backfire?

Time was like a vacation: a week flew by before you even knew it.

"Xiao Yi, please, help me~~" Xiao Yi held a book of common medicinal herbs and flipped through it page by page. Behind him, Tang Wutong clung to him like a koala, pleading with him nonstop. Her face was still flushed.

He supported her bottom with one hand to keep the silly girl from falling, feeling utterly exasperated.

Who begged for mugwort every single day? He was worried something would happen to Tang Wutong. Every time, her eyes rolled back as if she'd been utterly worn out.

While the two of them played around, a wave of Soul Power came from the room, followed by a dazzling blue light. Xiao Yi set Tang Wutong down and hurried inside.

Compared with the Blue Silver Grass vines that had been mostly blue and black before, they now bore golden patterns, giving them an air of nobility and radiating the breath of life. Something else was mixed in, but there was no doubt that Tang Ya's Martial Soul had transformed into the Dark Blue Silver Emperor.

Just as Xiao Yi stepped into the room, the cocoon quivered slightly. The encircling vines slowly unfurled, revealing the figure within. Compared with before her Martial Soul had transformed, Tang Ya's skin was fairer and more delicate, gleaming with a lustrous sheen beneath the light. Her figure, once youthful and undeveloped, now had far more alluring curves.

Tang Ya's already pretty face had grown softer and more captivating. Her long, jet-black hair seemed to have taken on another hue; in the light, deep blue glimmered through the black.

Her pink eyes opened, and the first thing she saw was Xiao Yi's familiar face.

Tang Ya gave him the same lively smile as always.

"Xiao Yi." Then she threw herself straight into his arms.

Feeling the alluring body in his arms, Xiao Yi marveled inwardly at the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul's remarkable "beautifying" power. Not only had her assets grown considerably, but she also radiated a faint life force. He'd have to try that later.

Tang Ya's eyes were filled with Xiao Yi, and there was no room in them for anyone else. Her heart had completely surrendered to him; nothing else mattered anymore. All she wanted now was to become one with Xiao Yi in both body and soul, never to be parted.

Just as the atmosphere grew increasingly intimate, an ill-timed cough sounded in the room.

Tang Wutong stood off to the side, looking at Tang Ya, who was completely naked. Alarm bells rang in her heart. This was a formidable rival.

No. She needed Xiao Yi to rub her more.
