Tang San: Hey, Hey, Hey, I'm Back Again

"The Spirit Hall? A re-election of the Seven Great Sects?"

He casually closed the invitation.

"No interest. The Long Night Alliance doesn't get involved in these ranking games."

Xiao Wu tugged at his sleeve, "Brother, don't be so quick to refuse."

"These days, some unusual rumors have been circulating, they're quite interesting!"

"Then tell me?" Ye Hua asked, his interest waning.

Xiao Wu spoke up, "The Spirit Hall wants to support the Elephant Armor Sect to replace the Clear Sky Sect as the number one sect in the world!"

Ye Hua stopped moving.

"The Elephant Armor Sect?" He unfolded the invitation again. "The Elephant Armor Sect, whose sect leader I pounded into a meat pie?"

"Yes," Xiao Wu blinked, "They put forward a new sect leader, who is said to not even be at the peak of the Soul Douluo level."

"If they didn't have the Spirit Hall backing them up, they probably wouldn't even have the confidence to participate in the general election!"

Ye Hua tucked the invitation into his Azure Jade Bracelet, a playful smile playing on his lips. "That's interesting."

"Those old guys from the Clear Sky Sect are incredibly arrogant. If someone were to ride roughshod over them, they'd probably explode with rage."

"So, are you going or not?" Xiao Wu bit Ye Hua's collar.

"I'll go," Ye Hua said decisively. "It's a rare opportunity to put on a show; it would be a shame not to go."

"Moreover, this show is destined to be extraordinary!"

"Why?" Xiao Wu asked, puzzled.

Ye Hua revealed a mysterious smile, "You'll find out then."

Xiao Wu pursed her lips and didn't press the matter further.

Her gaze inadvertently drifted to what was behind Ye Hua.

Then rub your eyes and look again.

"Huh?" She looked Gu Yuena up and down. "Brother, who is this sister? She's so pretty!"

Gu Yuena's appearance changed drastically, and there was no trace of [Gu Yue] or [Nana] at all.

In addition, her temperament changed from innocent to aloof, so it's normal that Xiao Wu didn't recognize her.

Ye Hua turned around, a mischievous thought suddenly popping into his head.

"Oh, this gentleman is...?"

"Don't listen to his nonsense," Gu Yuena interrupted, her eyes mocking. "I'm his sister."

Ye Hua:???

Xiao Wu:???

Gu Yuena cast a provocative glance at Ye Hua, her silver eyes gleaming with cunning.

Ye Hua's lips twitched, and he transmitted his voice, "You lost the fight and you're still being stubborn?"

Gu Yuena retorted calmly, "So, are you sure you want me to be your sister? What will Xiao Wu think?"

Ye Hua remained silent, glanced at Xiao Wu's curious face, and sighed resignedly.

Seeing that he did not refute her, Gu Yuena felt smug.

Hmph, as the Ruler of Soul Beasts, do you think I'd be able to suppress you?

Although you have obtained the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline, you will eventually inherit the position of the Golden Dragon King and sit on equal footing with me.

But I don't want to--

"She's my new maid."

Gu Yuena:!!!

Xiao Wu:!!!

The light in Gu Yuena's silver eyes instantly shifted from mockery to disbelief.

It's like someone stepping on your tail!

"Really," Ye Hua said without changing his expression, "I'm a dog if I'm lying."

Woof woof woof!

Xiao Wu glanced at Ye Hua, then at Gu Yuena, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"You two are talking nonsense!"

"I'll consider you all friends!"

"I'll go back to the Three-Flavored Study to cultivate first."

"Also, tell Rongrong and the others that you're back."

"Wait," Ye Hua stopped him, "We have things to do later."

Let's talk about it tomorrow.

Now Xiao Wu was suspicious.

Are you busy tonight?

Oh, I get it!

Bro, you heartbreaker!

It must be another girl you've messed with!

"Hmph," Xiao Wu said jealously, "Fine~~"

"I won't disturb your business!"

"Goodbye!"

She waved to the two of them and left the garden without looking back.

Let's go somewhere far away, so that the older sister won't be too embarrassed to call out in the middle of the night.

After she walked away, Gu Yuena gritted her teeth.

"Maid? I'm your maid!"

"Qilin! Speak properly!"

It's clear that one of the dragons has broken through the defenses.

"You started it." Ye Hua shrugged.

"I... but you were the one with bad intentions first."

"Oh dear, but it's just a thought, I don't plan to say it."

Do you even believe it yourself?

Gu Yuena's shoulders trembled.

"Also, judging from her expression, it must be a misunderstanding!"

"I am the Silver Dragon King, how could I become your woman without any explanation!"

Ye Hua smiled, "Then how can you become my woman?"

"You really dare to have such thoughts!" Gu Yuena roared.

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Ye Hua asked with a wicked grin.

Gu Yuena suppressed her anger and said, "Fine, then I'll give you your terms!"

"Heaven and earth shattered, the Sun Moon reborn!"

Ye Hua remained silent.

You might as well just say it's impossible to calculate!

To shatter heaven and earth—isn't that tantamount to destroying the world?

"Let's go," Ye Hua said, waving his hand without further ado. "Didn't you say you wanted to personally examine the Soul Spirit System? I'll take you to the Spirit Pagoda."

Gu Yuena suppressed her Wrath and followed behind him.

Ye Hua led her to the outskirts of the city. As night deepened, the Spirit Pagoda in the distance remained brightly lit.

Even the square was packed with Soul Master seeking Soul Spirit.

The popularity of Soul Spirit has led some people to stay up all night in order to form contracts with Soul Spirit!

Unfortunately, the Spirit Transmitter are working day and night, without rest on weekends!

Ye Hua felt deeply ashamed, feeling that he didn't even deserve to be called a capitalist!

They can only be considered landlords and rich peasants who oppress the working masses; they should be shot!

As she approached, Gu Yuena slowed her pace.

She saw the tall stone monument at the entrance to the square in front of the tower.

The surface of the monument is polished smooth and covered with densely packed characters.

Under the illumination of the Soul Guidance Lamp, it was clearly visible.

[Anyone who establishes Soul Spirit Contract with the Spirit Pagoda is forbidden from harming any Soul Beast without cause for life. Violators will be hunted down by the Long Night Alliance with all their might, until death.]

[Soul Spirit and Soul Master are equal partners; Soul Spirit must not be forced or abused. Any violation will result in immediate termination of the contract, and the violator will be judged by the Spirit Pagoda.]

[After Soul Master dies, their Soul Spirit is free to return to the Spirit Pagoda to recuperate, or choose their next contracted partner; no one may obstruct or interfere with this.]

[For details on legitimate self-defense, please refer to the "Soul Spirit Law"]

Each line, each word clearly defined.

Gu Yuena stood before the monument, remaining silent for Jiujiu.

Ye Hua didn't disturb her; he simply waited quietly.

After a moment, Gu Yuena withdrew her gaze.

"Did you erect this stone tablet?"

"Um."

"It seems you genuinely hope to resolve the conflict between humans and Soul Beast using Soul Spirit."

Just as Ye Hua was about to say something, Gu Yuena suddenly frowned.

His silver eyes were sharp as he looked at the crowd in the square.

"There," she gestured with her chin, "There's a smell that makes me uncomfortable."

Ye Hua followed her gaze and saw that the person was elegant, dressed in blue, with long flowing hair.

"Tang San?" Ye Hua raised an eyebrow.

Tang Yuehua was standing next to him; she was probably worried about him, so she accompanied him.

Not far behind them was a figure wearing a plain-colored cloak with the brim of his hat pulled low.

Ye Hua caught a familiar scent, "Ah Yin!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena stared at the figure for a long time. "Are you talking about Tang San and the Blue Silver Emperor who participated in the competition?"

"That's right." Ye Hua winked at Gu Yuena and moved closer without making a sound.

Ye Hua touched Ah Yin's hand, and Ah Yin shuddered.

Only after discovering it was Ye Hua did I finally feel relieved.

Ye Hua pulled her out of the crowd and brought her to Gu Yuena.

"My lord!" Ah Yin exclaimed in alarm, and immediately knelt down.

Gu Yuena helped her up, saying, "I'm just a friend of the Qilin now."

Ah Yin realized what was happening and quickly stood up straight amidst the strange looks from those around her.

"How did you recognize her?" Ye Hua asked, puzzled. "You two haven't met before, have you?"

"Indeed," Ah Yin nodded, "But our Blue Silver Grass is extremely sensitive to life force."

"With such vitality, besides you and Sister Bi Ji, only the Lord can possess it."

Ye Hua nodded. "Then what happened?"

Ah Yin looked around. "Qilin, Xiao San wants to obtain the Soul Spirit of the fifth Soul Ring of the Clear Sky Hammer."

"He said the quality of the Soul Spirit at the Spirit Pagoda was better than that of hunting Soul Beast, so he rushed over under cover of night."

Ye Hua narrowed his eyes slightly. "Then he should know that after acquiring Soul Spirit, he can no longer hunt Soul Beast, right?"

"This..." Ah Yin stammered.

"He certainly knows," Ye Hua answered for her, "But will he entrust his future to me?"

Ah Yin remained silent.

Seeing that she still had a glimmer of hope, Ye Hua shook his head.

"Ah Yin," Ye Hua said solemnly, "Would you like to test him one more time?"
