"It was not her choice to grow here."

Ye Han shook his head and walked toward the Blue Silver Emperor.

A flicker of confusion crossed Ye Guyi's beautiful eyes.

"If it was not voluntary, then she was transplanted here?"

Ye Han nodded, crouching down and reaching out to touch the frail Blue Silver Emperor.

The Blue Silver Emperor immediately trembled violently, her stems and leaves curling up in fear of a stranger.

Yet perhaps because of the Dragon God Bloodline, she soon stopped resisting.

Instead, she began to depend on him, even taking the initiative to nestle against Ye Han's palm.

What a way to cuckold someone...

There was no pity in Ye Han's eyes as he snorted coldly.

"In the end, she brought this upon herself. This was the price of trusting the wrong person!"

Then, he slowly recounted the Blue Silver Emperor's past.

From meeting and falling in love with Tang Hao, to traveling the continent while pregnant...

Then being hunted by Martial Soul Hall after giving birth, before finally sacrificing herself and being imprisoned here...

After hearing the full story, Ye Guyi was filled with indignation.

"I will not judge whether love between humans and soul beasts is right or wrong, but what Tang Hao did was simply..."

"The Blue Silver Emperor had not fully matured into human form, yet Tang Hao got her pregnant and took her traveling everywhere!"

"Was he afraid that others would not discover her soul beast identity? He clearly pushed her onto the road to death with his own hands!"

Ye Han nodded heavily, his eyes full of mockery.

"You hit the nail on the head. Tang Hao never truly loved her!"

"He could use arrogance as an excuse for causing her death, but what about after she died?!"

"If he truly loved her, how could he cruelly imprison her in this dark cave to suffer?!"

"Anyone with half a brain knows what kind of environment plants need to grow!"

The more the two spoke,

the more violently the Blue Silver Emperor trembled.

Her leaves rustled softly, as if in grief and resentment.

Yet the Dragon God Bloodline within Ye Han seemed able to soothe her emotions.

The more agitated she became, the more she pressed herself into Ye Han's palm, her trembling almost like nuzzling.

What would Tang Hao think if he saw this...

"Ah..."

Ye Guyi sighed softly. Feeling that it was unfair for her, her face filled with contempt.

"I never expected Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo revered ten thousand years later, to be worse than a beast!"

Ye Han shook his head and stopped dwelling on it.

Instead, he carefully searched the stone chamber.

Soon, he found an ancient lead box.

Creak—

After finding the mechanism, he opened the lid.

A rich blue-gold radiance instantly burst forth.

Pure, vast life energy swept through the entire chamber.

A long blue right leg bone covered in golden patterns came into view!

Ye Guyi stared at it, and her beautiful eyes lit up.

"100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone! Is this the Soul Bone you were looking for?!"

Ye Han gently stroked the Soul Bone, sensing the energy within it as he teased.

"If Tang Hao's Soul Bones had not already been fully equipped, he definitely would have absorbed it back then!"

"Now, it belongs to me!"

Yet as he spoke, Ye Han could not help looking up at Ye Guyi.

"Sister Guyi, does this count as stealing someone else's property? Would you... think I am a bad child?!"

He was not trying to steal something while pretending to be innocent.

He simply did not want Ye Guyi to form any negative impression of him.

Ye Guyi was briefly stunned before smiling and rubbing his little head.

"Of course not."

"By worldly standards, Tang Hao's love with a soul beast was already taboo."

"Taking it is not theft. On the contrary, it is an act of justice."

"Not to mention that Tang Hao was so irresponsible. He does not deserve this bone!"

Her words dispelled Ye Han's concerns.

"Then, Sister Guyi, I want to absorb it now!"

The original story had clearly stated that absorbing Soul Bones had no level requirement.

Even someone with only one rank of soul power could absorb a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone.

Only External Soul Bones were different, with vastly greater risks.

Ye Guyi naturally knew this as well and did not object.

"Alright. Absorb it without worry. I will guard you."

With no more concerns, Ye Han immediately sat cross-legged on the ground.

He grabbed Tang San's mother's Soul Bone and absorbed it in an instant!

Buzz!!

Brilliant radiance bloomed as the Soul Bone gradually fused with his right leg.

With the Dragon God Bloodline in his body, there was not the slightest rejection or pain throughout the process.

Vast life soul power surged into him, tempering his tendons, bones, and body as his soul power soared.

Level 11...

Level 12...

Level 13...

Level 14...

Level 15...

Level 16...

Level 17!!!

The Soul Bone had been absorbed perfectly!

In just a short moment, his soul power had risen by seven levels!

However, once a stage reached its maximum level, soul power could not increase further without adding a Soul Ring.

This was not a direct increase in soul power, but rather temporary "stored energy" accumulated within his body.

Once he added a new Soul Ring, it would all increase at once!

"Little Han, how do you feel? Did you obtain any soul skills?!"

Ye Guyi crouched down and asked with concern.

The moment Ye Han opened his eyes, he saw her surging curves...

A faint, barely noticeable blush rose on his cheeks.

"What is it?"

Ye Guyi did not sense anything inappropriate.

He was just a little kid. What improper thoughts could he possibly have?

"Cough, cough, nothing!"

Ye Han quickly looked away, stood up, and began describing how he felt.

The soul skills were still the same two: "Wildfires cannot burn it all; spring winds bring it back to life," and "Flight."

But another question arose: why could the Blue Silver Emperor provide a flight soul skill?!

After hearing this, Ye Guyi's eyes brightened.

"Not bad! Next, we will go hunt your first Soul Ring."

Ye Han nodded, then suddenly looked toward the Blue Silver Emperor beside him.

"Sister Guyi, do you have a soul tool that can store living creatures? I want to take her with us."

No matter how weak the Blue Silver Emperor was, she was still the Blue Silver Emperor and immensely valuable.

If they brought her to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well in the future, it could speed up the growth of her cultivation.

"I do."

Ye Guyi raised her left hand slightly. On her index finger was a storage ring engraved with an angel's six wings.

"I have an Angel Ring passed down by my ancestors. It can store small living creatures. Let me keep her."

After saying that, she stored the Blue Silver Emperor inside the Angel Ring.

There was a simulated environment within it, no different from the outside world.

Ye Han nodded, his gaze inadvertently drifting to Ye Guyi's right hand.

He discovered that her right index finger was also wearing an Angel Ring.

Huh, those should be a pair, right?

It would be inconvenient not to have a storage soul tool in the early stages. Maybe...

Ye Han had wanted to ask for it, but after thinking about it, he held back.

Directly asking for it felt somewhat inappropriate and presumptuous.

"Come on, Little Han. Big Sister will take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt your first Soul Ring."

Unaware of Ye Han's thoughts, Ye Guyi picked him up and headed outside.

They left the cave and returned to the area outside the waterfall.

Ye Guyi summoned her Holy Angel Martial Soul and was about to set off.

"Sister Guyi, wait!"

Ye Han suddenly remembered something.

"On the way from here to Star Dou Forest, we will pass a small city called Notting City. Let us stop there when we get there."

Ye Guyi paused, confusion flashing through her beautiful eyes.

"You mentioned it to me on the way here, but it is not exactly on our route. We would have to make quite a detour. Is something wrong? Do you have business there?!"

Ye Han did not speak in riddles and said directly.

"Because... I know there is a soul beast that has taken human form in Notting City!"

Ye Guyi's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

"A hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form! Has it passed the mature stage?!"

Ye Han shook his head and explained in detail.

He also told her about the potential dangers that might exist.

Xiao Wu's background as a soul beast, and the possibility that Tang San and Tang Hao might be in the city.

After hearing all this, Ye Guyi was even more astonished.

That transformed soul beast was actually Xiao Wu, the Soft Bone Charming Rabbit, and Sea God Tang San's wife!

"Little Han, do you want to make a move against her?!"

For some reason, Ye Guyi felt a different kind of anticipation.

After all, Tang San was the leader who had destroyed her ancestors' faction.

If they eliminated his wife first, they would surely weaken Tang San's forces.

It might not be very moral, but it was for the sake of saving Martial Soul Hall and the people of the future!

The destruction of Martial Soul Hall and the decline of the Angel Clan were what had caused Evil Soul Masters to run rampant in later generations!

Besides, she was a soul beast!

Humans killing soul beasts...

Was only natural!

"Yes."

Ye Han could see her emotions as well and said seriously.

"But we cannot rush this. If we attack Xiao Wu directly and Tang Hao is there, he definitely will not stand by and watch!"

"You are certainly no match for Tang Hao right now, so we cannot confront him head-on. We should disguise ourselves, enter the city, gather information, and only then make our move!"

"If Tang Hao is there, we leave. If Tang Hao is not there, we act!"

Ye Guyi nodded without hesitation.

"Alright! Then there is no time to lose. Let us set off now!"
