"Oh my god!!"
The people present caught sight of Ye Guyi.
Instantly, startled cries erupted one after another:
"What a holy woman! She's practically an angel!"
"Could her Martial Soul be the Six-Winged Angel inherited by Martial Soul Hall?!"
"People from Martial Soul Hall came here too? Could they have taken an interest in Ye Han as well?!"
In an instant,
Ye Guyi landed before Ye Han, her holy sword pointed directly at Flander as her voice turned icy:
"He's under my protection. Got it?!"
"If he gets hurt, you'll be finished too!!"
Those two short sentences carried overwhelming killing intent.
Flander's body trembled instinctively as a chill surged through his heart.
Although she had not displayed her Soul Rings, her presence and soul power were absolutely above his!
With an Angel Martial Soul, she could only be from Martial Soul Hall. He could not afford to provoke her!
"Damn it! She's definitely here to steal him!!"
Flander could only glare at Ye Han and grit his teeth.
"I hope you won't regret rejecting me today in the future!"
"My Shrek's current students may not be as talented as you!"
"But with Shrek's guidance, their future achievements will certainly surpass yours. Just wait and see!"
After grumbling a few curses, Flander fled in a panic.
Martial Soul 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 long-running championship streak and prove himself by taking the title!
"Hehe..."
Ye Han was speechless to the extreme. This guy was ridiculously confident.
Shrek's students could achieve something because it only accepted talented people in the first place.
But frankly, even the Shrek Seven Monsters would be nothing special without the immortal herbs.
He would go intercept all the immortal herbs later! Let's see what that damned con artist's Shrek could do then!
"Hello there, little one."
Ye Guyi suddenly turned to look at him.
Warmth filled her beautiful eyes as she bent slightly and extended a jade-like 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 91 Titled Douluo, titled Angel!"
"Oh, right... speaking of which, my current Martial Soul should count as the Holy Six-Winged Angel!"
Facing this stunning angel,
Ye Han stood frozen for several breaths before hurriedly replying:
"Hello, my name is Ye Han. Please take care of me from now on."
As he spoke, he reached out his small hand and took her outstretched hand.
The unfamiliar sensation of her skin made Ye Han's body shudder.
Come to think of it, this was his first time touching someone of the opposite sex. In his previous life, he had been exceptionally virtuous!
Of course, it was Ye Guyi's first time as well, but she did not react much.
He was only a little child. What ill intentions could he possibly have?
"Ye Han, what a lovely name. I'll call you Xiao Han from now on, then."
Ye Guyi smiled gently and raised a hand to stroke Ye Han's head.
Mm...
Ye Han could not remember how long it had been since someone had cared for him so sincerely. He could not help developing a little dependence on her.
"Mm-hm! 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.
"My lady, may I ask who you are...?"
The orphanage director approached cautiously, wanting to ask something.
The storage ring on Ye Guyi's finger flashed, and she tossed him a large bag.
"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 immediately!
"Of course, of course! We'll do as you say, my lady!"
He hurriedly nodded and bowed in thanks without the slightest hesitation.
?
A question mark seemed to appear over Ye Han's head.
Why did he feel like he had just 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, quietly speculating to himself.
Ye Guyi had said she was level 91 just now, which was a little low.
But it was enough for the early stages. Once they got the immortal herbs, she would improve quickly.
If that did not work, they could go to Slaughter City. Her Martial Soul could increase in power by killing fallen Soul Masters.
He just did not know whether she was a copy created by the system or someone who had truly been summoned.
Soon, the two arrived at an empty alley.
After confirming that no one else was around, Ye Han cautiously spoke first.
"Sister Guyi, are you from an era ten thousand years in the future?"
"You know?!"
Ye Guyi was astonished.
That was right. She truly had 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 incorporeal female voice calling itself "Tongzi" suddenly appeared and offered her a deal.
She could 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 wipe out the Evil Soul Masters and bring peace to the world.
She had joined the tournament in disguise because she had learned 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 directly advanced to a Titled Douluo. Her Soul Rings had become eight black and one red, though she had not been given a Soul Core.
As for all this, that Tongzi had not forbidden her from revealing it.
It had only branded a Soul Contract with Ye Han deep within her soul.
She had to be absolutely sincere and could neither defy nor harm him. If Ye Han was injured, she would suffer the same injury.
Now, faced with Ye Han's question, which seemed to show that he already knew, Ye Guyi could only tell him the truth.
"As expected!"
Ye Han was stunned, but also relieved.
When Ye Guyi first appeared during 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 been brainwashed yet.
Fantastic!!
(Note: As for why the Ordinary Alliance's emblem looks like a [Succubus Mark], Xiao Ya doesn't know either. That's the official illustration from the Soul Land 2 anime...)
"Xiao Han, what are you planning to do next? Will you... join Martial Soul Hall?"
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Guyi suddenly asked.
In truth, she had her own selfish motives! She wanted to uncover certain truths!
Was Martial Soul Hall truly the culprit that had tried to destroy the continent and start a war?
And had the Angel Clan truly declined because its ancestors had committed sins?
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. History might truly be different!
Flander was narrow-minded, yet he was revered across the continent ten thousand years later. There was clearly more to the story!
If the truth truly differed from what history recorded, she hoped to make a change and alter the future!
"Sister Guyi, I'm not considering that for now. I have other plans."
Ye Han shook his head without the slightest hesitation.
Martial Soul Hall? Its upper ranks were rotten to the core!
Bibi Dong was a crazy woman who did nothing decent.
Qian Daoliu was a weak gentleman who did nothing practical.
What normal person would join 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 fully capable of doing 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 took him as her disciple and nearly plotted against him.
Fortunately, the protagonist ignored all propriety and used cheats. Bibi Dong was later dealt with miserably.
The author's pen name seemed to be:
[Xiao Tangya]
It could be found on QQ Reading or Qidian.
So...
For safety's sake, it was better to stay far away!!
"Why? Is Martial Soul Hall no good, or do you simply dislike it?!"
Ye Guyi pressed him anxiously, looking rather dejected.
Seeing her aggrieved expression, Ye Han's heart inexplicably clenched.
His heart skipped a beat... no, it was heartache!!
Taking a deep breath, he grasped her jade-like hands with his own little hands and said seriously:
"Sister Guyi, I know Martial Soul Hall is your ancestors' faction and that you favor it."
"I can assure you that compared with other factions, I'm quite willing to support Martial Soul Hall."
"It's just that Martial Soul Hall right now... sigh. It's a long story. I'll explain it to you slowly in the future."
"Believe me, alright?!"
Feeling his sincerity, Ye Guyi was suddenly stunned.
This little fellow 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 feasting, that was all.
"Then Xiao Han, what are you planning to do next?"
Ye Guyi released him, thought for a moment, then gently suggested:
"You've just awakened your Martial Soul and possess Innate Full Soul Power. First, you should obtain your first Soul Ring."
[Author's Note]:
Regarding Flander's harsh words to the protagonist in this chapter, Xiao Ya will explain.
Some people complained about why Ye Guyi did not attack after Flander threatened him to his face.
First of all, to Ye Guyi, Flander was a great man revered in the future, so her first impression of him came with the filter of a great man.
Since Ye Guyi was characterized as righteous and had just arrived without knowing Flander's true nature, she could not casually attack him.
Second, Flander's later harsh words only told the protagonist not to regret it. He did not openly say that he would harm the protagonist.
Lastly, a small spoiler: once Ye Guyi sees Flander's true colors, she will personally punish him.
It will not take long. It will happen the next time the two sides meet.
