Ye Guyi

Huo Yuhao stood where he was, his expression a little stiff.

His future sister?

He had only just accepted that he had somehow gained a future wife, and now a future sister had appeared too.

Could he even go on living like this?

Looking at Ju Zi's smiling little face, Huo Yuhao felt helpless.

He was becoming more and more certain that this reincarnated big shot had treated his future life like some kind of raising simulator.

First, she had fished him out of the White Tiger Duke's Estate.

Then she had found him a Soul Ring.

And now, she was preparing to stuff a sister into his life.

Would the next step be arranging a future teacher for him, then casually gifting him a set of top-tier Soul Tools?

At that thought, curiosity appeared on Huo Yuhao's face.

"Ju Zi."

"Hmm?"

Ju Zi turned around and looked at him quietly.

Scratching his head, Huo Yuhao asked softly, "What kind of person is this future sister of mine?"

At that, Ju Zi paused.

She turned to face him, placing her hands before her as a faintly complicated look surfaced in her eyes.

But the emotion soon vanished.

"Someone very formidable."

"How formidable?"

"You'll find out later."

Ju Zi smiled faintly and did not explain further.

Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched.

That line again.

This little girl looked gentle and soft-spoken, but her mouth was sealed tight.

Over the past few days, he had tried probing her about plenty of things. Yet aside from learning that Ju Zi was a reincarnator, he had learned almost nothing.

She was like someone who already knew all the answers to a riddle.

The key was that he had no way of dealing with her.

The two of them followed a path through the woods toward the depths of the camp.

This place was near the western border of the Sun Moon Empire, and many patrolling soldiers were stationed nearby.

But upon seeing Ju Zi, those soldiers merely nodded at her from afar and did not step forward to stop them.

Huo Yuhao quietly observed his surroundings.

He had originally thought Ju Zi was merely the daughter of an ordinary military household.

But now, it seemed otherwise.

This future regent empress dowager had already begun forming her own power base despite being only ten years old.

No wonder she could directly send people to the Star Luo Empire and carry him back.

Soon enough.

A wooden house appeared before them.

Two black-clad guards stood outside it. They were the same two people who had helped Huo Yuhao hunt the Thousand-Leaf Mint earlier.

The moment they saw Ju Zi approach, the two immediately lowered their heads.

"Miss."

"Has she woken up?"

"She has, but she's extremely guarded." One of the guards gave a wry smile. "She nearly tore the roof off just now."

Ju Zi nodded.

"I understand."

Standing nearby, Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched.

She had nearly torn off the roof?

This future sister sounded like she had quite the temper.

Ju Zi walked to the door, raised a hand, and gently pushed it open.

With a creak.

Light from inside immediately spilled out.

Huo Yuhao instinctively looked up.

Inside the room, a young girl sat by the window.

She looked around fifteen or sixteen years old, slender yet straight-backed, dressed in a plain white fitted outfit that had been washed somewhat faded.

Her light golden hair was simply tied behind her head, its ends still somewhat disheveled.

Her face was pale, and there was little color in her lips. She had clearly suffered serious injuries.

Even so.

She still sat perfectly straight.

One hand rested on the short sword at her waist, while her warm golden eyes brimmed with vigilance.

Especially after seeing Ju Zi and Huo Yuhao enter.

The girl's gaze instantly turned sharp.

Soul Power faintly stirred around her.

Yellow, yellow, purple.

Three Soul Rings slowly rose beneath her feet.

A powerful pressure immediately spread through the room.

Huo Yuhao's expression changed slightly.

A three-ringed Soul Elder?

This sister really was fierce.

He had only just obtained his first Soul Ring. If she slapped him, she could probably send him straight into the wall.

"Who are you?" Ye Guyi stared at Ju Zi, her voice somewhat hoarse.

Her body was tense, like a string that could snap at any moment.

Not long ago, she had been searching for traces of Evil Soul Masters near the border.

Those people deserved to die.

Whenever she thought of the Ye Family members who had died so tragically, she could not let a single Evil Soul Master go.

But this time, she had miscalculated.

Those Evil Soul Masters had deliberately released information to lure her over.

By the time she stepped into that valley, several Soul Elders had already sealed off every direction.

They had clearly come prepared.

Even though she had fought with all her strength, she had only managed to carve out a bloody escape route.

Just as her Soul Power ran dry and she thought she would die there.

A Soul Emperor had suddenly appeared.

That Soul Emperor had not attacked her. Instead, he had killed every Evil Soul Master.

Afterward, he brought her all the way here.

Ye Guyi had assumed this place was some Evil Soul Master hideout.

But now, things seemed far stranger than she had imagined.

A girl of around ten.

A boy of eight or nine.

They had specifically sent a Soul Emperor to find her?

Ye Guyi could not understand it at all.

"Don't be nervous." Ju Zi looked at Ye Guyi, her tone still gentle. "If we wanted to harm you, you would not be sitting here now."

Ye Guyi did not answer.

She merely tightened her grip on her short sword and shifted her gaze to Huo Yuhao.

There was barely any Soul Power fluctuation from this boy. He looked like an ordinary child.

Yet when faced with her three Soul Rings, his expression had only changed slightly, without showing much fear.

That made Ye Guyi even more wary.

Huo Yuhao felt uncomfortable under her stare.

He gave her an exceedingly well-behaved smile and even raised a hand to wave. "Hello, Sister."

Ye Guyi:?

Her expression plainly froze for a moment.

Sister?

Who was this brat calling that?

Ju Zi walked to Huo Yuhao's side and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Huo Yuhao."

"Mm."

"This is Ye Guyi." Ju Zi's voice was calm, yet carried an unquestionable force. "She possesses the Holy Angel Martial Soul. From now on, she will be your sister."

The air fell silent for a moment.

Huo Yuhao blinked.

Ye Guyi?

Holy Angel Martial Soul?

Holy shit.

Countless fragmented memories immediately surfaced in Huo Yuhao's mind.

Wasn't this someone who only appeared in the later stages of the original story?

And she was a Holy Angel Soul Master who specifically countered Evil Soul Masters.

Just how far into the future had Ju Zi reincarnated from?

How could she have found even someone like this in advance?

Still.

Huo Yuhao was shocked only briefly before quickly regaining his composure.

Even Ju Zi had reincarnated.

Having a Ye Guyi appear ahead of time did not seem all that surprising.

He even felt a little expectant.

If things continued at this pace, would someone eventually package up Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and deliver him right to his doorstep?

On the other side.

Ye Guyi's brow furrowed completely.

She looked at Ju Zi and said coldly, "You know me?"

"I do."

"But I don't know you."

"You do now." Ju Zi answered naturally.

Ye Guyi fell silent.

She realized that she could not see through the girl before her at all.

The other girl was clearly young, but the bearing she displayed when speaking reminded Ye Guyi of military commanders who controlled entire regions.

Calm.

Composed.

As though everything was already within her expectations.

"Why do you know my name?" Ye Guyi asked. "And why did you send people to save me? What exactly do you want me to do?"

This time, her voice was even colder.

The atmosphere in the room tensed along with it.

Standing beside Ju Zi, Huo Yuhao silently took half a step back.

He was only a one-ringed Soul Master.

Ju Zi could handle this high-level confrontation herself.

Ju Zi did not answer immediately.

She quietly looked at Ye Guyi, her gaze falling on the short sword at the girl's waist.

That sword was very ordinary.

But Ye Guyi gripped it tightly.

She lacked any sense of security.

And she did not dare trust anyone.

Ju Zi understood that clearly.

In her previous life, Ye Guyi had walked the continent alone, killing Evil Soul Masters and guarding that already shattered Angel inheritance.

She was far too much like Ju Zi's former self.

Driven forward by hatred.

Even covered in wounds, she had refused to stop.

"Ye Guyi." Ju Zi finally spoke.

Her voice was soft, yet Ye Guyi's expression slowly froze.

"You don't need to know why I know of your existence."

"You only need to know one thing."

Ju Zi raised her head, and the gentleness in her eyes gradually faded.

In its place was a resolve that made one's heart tremble.

"From now on, with my support."

"You can eliminate every Evil Soul Master on the Douluo Continent."

At those words.

Ye Guyi's pupils abruptly contracted.

Every Evil Soul Master?

What an outrageously arrogant claim.

Yet for some reason.

As she looked into Ju Zi's eyes, Ye Guyi did not immediately think she was joking.

The room remained silent for a long time.

Huo Yuhao said nothing either.

Looking at Ju Zi's small profile, he suddenly understood something.

This future regent empress dowager.

Had never merely wanted to reclaim a Huo Yuhao.

What she wanted was the entire continent.

A moment later.

Ye Guyi slowly withdrew her Soul Rings.

She leaned back in her chair and let out a long breath.

"I understand."

Ju Zi smiled again. "Welcome home, Sister."
