"My god!!"
Everyone present saw Ye Guyi.
A wave of astonished cries instantly erupted:
"What a holy woman! She's practically an angel!"
"Could her Martial Soul be the Six-Winged Angel inherited by Spirit Hall?!"
"Did Spirit Hall come here because they also set their sights on Ye Han?!"
In the next moment.
Ye Guyi landed before Ye Han, her holy sword pointed straight at Flender as her voice turned icy:
"He's under my protection, understand?!"
"If he gets hurt, you'll be finished too!!"
Those brief words carried overwhelming killing intent.
Flender's body trembled instinctively as a chill rose in his heart.
Though she had not revealed her Soul Rings, her aura and Soul Power were definitely above his!
With an Angel Martial Soul, she could only be from Spirit Hall, someone he could not afford to provoke!
"Damn it! She must be here to steal him!!"
Flender could only glare at Ye Han and grit his teeth.
"I hope you won't regret today's rejection in the future!"
"My Shrek students may not be as talented as you right now!"
"But with Shrek's guidance, their future achievements will definitely surpass yours. Just wait and see!"
After cursing for a few moments, Flender fled in panic.
Spirit Hall had ruined his plans. Fine, he would remember this!
At the Soul Master Tournament years from now, he would have Shrek compete.
He would end Spirit Hall Academy's championship streak and use victory to prove himself!
"Hehe..."
Ye Han was utterly speechless. This guy was ridiculously confident.
Shrek students achieved things because they only recruited talented people to begin with.
But frankly, even the Shrek Seven Monsters would have been nothing special without the Immortal Herbs.
He would go snatch all the Immortal Herbs later! Let's see what that dead swindler's Shrek could do then!
"Hello there, little one."
Ye Guyi suddenly turned around and looked at him.
Gentleness filled her beautiful eyes as she bent slightly and extended her fair hand.
"Let's get acquainted. My name is Ye Guyi, your Soul Contract guardian."
"A Sixth-Level Soul Engineer, with the Holy Angel Martial Soul. A level ninety-one Titled Douluo, title: Angel!"
"Oh, right... speaking of which, my current Martial Soul should count as the Holy Six-Winged Angel!"
Facing this incomparably beautiful angel.
Ye Han stood stunned for several breaths before hurriedly replying:
"Hello, I'm Ye Han. Please take care of me from now on."
As he spoke, he extended his small hand and held the fair hand she had offered.
The unusual sensation of her skin against his made Ye Han's body shudder.
Come to think of it, this was his first time touching the opposite sex. In his previous life, he had been extremely virtuous!
Naturally, it was Ye Guyi's first time as well, but she did not react much.
He was just a little child. What bad intentions could he possibly have?
"Ye Han, that's a lovely name. Then I'll call you Xiao Han from now on."
Ye Guyi smiled gently and raised her hand to pat Ye Han's head.
Mm...
Ye Han could not remember how long it had been since someone had cared for him so sincerely, and he could not help developing a trace of dependence on her.
"Mm-hmm! Then I'll call you Sister Guyi from now on~~"
"Alright, Xiao Han is such a good boy~"
Ye Guyi smiled softly and rubbed his little head again.
"May I ask who you are, my lady...?"
The orphanage director approached at this moment, cautiously trying to ask something.
Ye Guyi's storage ring flashed, and she tossed him a large bag of something.
"This little one belongs to me from now on!"
"Consider this payment for your institution raising him."
The orphanage director caught it and took a look.
Good heavens, it was an entire bag of large Gold Soul Coins!
There had to be at least ten thousand of them. He could retire on the spot!
"Of course, of course! Everything will be arranged as you wish, my lady!"
He immediately nodded and bowed in thanks without the slightest hesitation.
?
A question mark practically appeared above Ye Han's head.
Why did this feel like he had been bought and sold???
"Xiao Han, let's go. We'll find somewhere quiet to talk."
Ye Guyi took Ye Han's little hand and led him toward a less crowded place.
"Mm!"
Ye Han nodded, secretly making guesses in his heart.
Ye Guyi had said she was level ninety-one just now, which was somewhat low.
But it was enough for the early stages. Once they obtained the Immortal Herbs, she could improve quickly.
If that did not work, they could go to Slaughter City. Her Martial Soul could grow stronger by killing fallen Soul Masters.
He just did not know whether she was a copy created by the system or someone genuinely summoned here.
Before long, the two arrived at an empty alley.
After confirming that no one else was around, Ye Han cautiously spoke first:
"Sister Guyi, did you come from an era ten thousand years in the future?"
"You know?!"
Ye Guyi was quite surprised.
That was right, she had indeed come from an era ten thousand years in the future.
At the time, she had been disguised while participating in the All-Continent Underground Soul Engineer Elite Tournament.
Then an ethereal female voice calling itself "System" suddenly appeared and wished to make a deal with her.
She would return to ten thousand years ago and become someone else's contract guardian. Once she completed the task, her wish would be granted.
Her parents had been killed by Evil Soul Masters when she was young. Her wish was to purge all Evil Soul Masters and bring peace to the world.
She had joined the tournament in disguise after learning that many Evil Soul Masters were hiding within it.
Faced with those terms, she agreed without hesitation and thus traveled through time.
Originally a Soul Emperor, she had been directly promoted to a Titled Douluo, and her Soul Rings had become eight black and one red, though she had not been given a Soul Core.
As for these matters, that System had not forbidden her from revealing them.
It had only branded a Soul Contract with Ye Han deep within her soul.
She had to be absolutely sincere and could neither betray nor harm him. If Ye Han was injured, she would suffer the same injury.
Now that Ye Han seemed to know something, Ye Guyi had no choice but to tell him the truth.
"Just as I thought!"
Ye Han was astonished, but he also felt fortunate.
When Ye Guyi first appeared in the tournament, she had been a nineteen-year-old Soul Emperor.
She had not yet come into contact with Huo Yuhao or Shrek, so she had not yet been brainwashed.
Wonderful!!
(Note: As for what the Ordinary Alliance's emblem resembles [a Succubus Mark], even Xiao Ya doesn't know. This is official artwork from the Soul Land 2 anime...)
"Xiao Han, what do you plan to do next? Will you... join Spirit Hall?"
Ye Guyi hesitated for a moment before suddenly asking.
She had selfish motives too! She wanted to uncover certain truths!
Was Spirit Hall truly the culprit that had tried to destroy the continent and ignite war?
And had the Angel Clan truly declined because their ancestors had committed evil?
History was written by the victors. She wanted to uncover those truths herself.
After what had just happened, she already had an answer in her heart. Perhaps history really was different!
Flender was narrow-minded, yet he was revered throughout the continent ten thousand years later. There was clearly more to it!
If the truth was truly not as history recorded it, she hoped to make a change and alter the future!
"Sister Guyi, I have no plans to do that for now. I have other arrangements."
Ye Han shook his head without hesitation.
Spirit Hall? Its upper ranks were rotten to the core!
Bibi Dong was a crazy woman who did nothing worthwhile.
Qian Daoliu was a weak gentleman who got nothing done.
What normal person would join them now?
What if Bibi Dong discovered his Dragon God Bloodline?
Would she extract it to make up for Yu Xiaogang's deficiencies?
Given Bibi Dong's madness, she was entirely capable of doing something like that!
In his previous life, Ye Han had read a novel titled:
[Douluo: Light-Dark Twin Sacred Dragon, Inheriting the Dragon God Godhood]
The protagonist had the same name as him and had also awakened the Dragon God Bloodline.
After Bibi Dong discovered it, she forcibly accepted him as a disciple and nearly harmed him in secret.
Fortunately, the protagonist had no sense of fair play and used cheats. Bibi Dong ended up suffering terribly afterward.
The author's pen name seemed to be:
[Xiao Tangya]
It could be read on QQ Reading or Qidian.
So...
For safety's sake, it was better to stay far away!!
"Why? Is Spirit Hall not good, or do you simply dislike it?!"
Ye Guyi pressed anxiously, looking quite dejected.
Seeing her pitiful expression, Ye Han's heart inexplicably clenched.
His heart was moved... no, he felt sorry for her!!
Taking a deep breath, his little hands grasped her fair hand as he spoke seriously:
"Sister Guyi, I know Spirit Hall is your ancestors' faction, and you favor it in your heart."
"I can assure you that compared to the other factions, I'm quite willing to support Spirit Hall."
"It's just that Spirit Hall right now... sigh. It's a long story. I'll explain everything to you slowly in the future."
"Believe me, okay?!"
Feeling his sincerity, Ye Guyi was stunned.
This little one actually took her words so seriously?!
"Alright, I believe you! Thank you!"
Ye Guyi suddenly crouched down and gratefully pulled Ye Han into her embrace.
"Ah!!"
What else could Ye Han say? His face was getting quite the feast.
"Then Xiao Han, what do you plan to do next?"
Ye Guyi released Ye Han. After thinking for a moment, she gently suggested:
"You've just awakened your Martial Soul and have Innate Full Soul Power. First, you should hunt for your first Soul Ring."
[Author's Note]:
Regarding Flender's harsh words to the protagonist in this chapter, Xiao Ya will explain.
I saw someone complaining about why Ye Guyi did not attack when Flender threatened him to his face.
First, to Ye Guyi, Flender was a great figure admired in the future, so her first impression came with the filter of viewing him as a hero.
As someone portrayed as righteous, Ye Guyi had just arrived and did not understand Flender's character. She could not possibly attack him lightly.
Second, Flender's later harsh words merely told the protagonist not to regret it. He never openly said he would harm the protagonist.
Finally, a small spoiler: once Ye Guyi sees Flender's true colors, she will personally punish him.
It will not take long. It will happen the next time the two sides meet.
