Though Bule Was Dead, His Spirit Lived On!
Bai Chenxiang blinked her almond-shaped eyes and confidently tossed her ponytail aside.
"Grandpa Niu Gao, why are you so nervous? I'm not going to eat the guest!"
She first greeted Tie Xiong sweetly, "Hello, Senior Tie!"
Then he turned to Ye Hua and made a face.
"Senior, is this your disciple?"
"Wow, so handsome! How old is he?"
Tie Xiong covered his face, Niu Gao felt ashamed.
Bai Chenxiang's eyes lit up when she saw the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress.
Wow! These two ladies are so beautiful!
"Why is it so cold around you? It's so refreshing!"
Ye Hua:...
Two best friends:...
Niu Gao wished he could dig three feet into the ground and bury him!
"Xiangxiang!" he gritted his teeth, "You! Stop behaving so disrespectfully!"
Bai Chenxiang shrank back, realizing something was wrong after he yelled at her.
She looked Ye Hua over again, thought for a long time, and then suddenly clasped her hands in a fist salute.
"I was blind to your greatness and was rude just now. Please forgive me."
"I have some fragrant tea; once I brew it, I'm sure it will leave your esteemed guest with a lingering, delightful taste!"
Niu Gao's face darkened even more.
Fortunately, hearty laughter came from outside the hall.
A slender figure with graying temples, dressed in a gray-white outfit, stepped across the threshold.
Behind them followed an elderly man with a gaunt face and a stern demeanor.
However, among the three old men present, the tall and thin man looked the oldest, with white hair and beard, and a face full of wrinkles.
"Brother Niu Gao! He's here!" Bai He called out with a laugh as he entered the room. "Oh, a guest?"
Niu Gao quickly introduced them, "Brother Bai He, Brother Yang, let me introduce you. This is the leader of the Long Night Alliance, and his Soul Spirit!"
The Bai He crane crouched in mid-air, Yang Wudi's eyelids twitched wildly.
The two looked at each other, both seeing surprise on each other's faces.
Leader of the Long Night Alliance?
The person who could stir up such a storm is actually with Niu Gao?
Bai He quickly cupped his hands in apology, "Night Alliance Leader Ye, please forgive me. I was unaware of your presence and was therefore rude."
Yang Wudi also clasped his hands in greeting, "Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan greets Night Alliance Leader."
Bai Chenxiang initially didn't think much of it.
Hearing that, I almost choked on my saliva!
He's Ye Hua?!
He's approachable, easy-going, and handsome!
Snow Empress stared blankly at her timid yet gleaming eyes.
Ice Empress patted her head, "Don't be afraid, he doesn't eat people."
"Even if I were to eat a person, I wouldn't eat a little thing like you."
Bai Chenxiang was sandwiched between two ice-type older sisters, and her tension dissipated considerably.
I simply pulled them aside and started asking them all sorts of questions.
So much so that Ice Empress had a headache and wanted to cover her mouth, but Snow Empress patiently answered her questions.
Seeing the two's envy, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm asked, "You two didn't obtain Soul Spirit either, did you?"
Bai He and Yang Wudi looked at each other, their faces showing bitter smiles.
"I would like to go," Bai He shook his head, "But the Speed Clan makes a living by delivering messages, and their income is the lowest."
"With the suppression from the Spirit Hall, the disciples are even struggling to get enough to eat. Fortunately, they have old friends who are helping them out, allowing them to barely survive."
Yang Wudi was silent for a moment, then said, "We're slightly better off; we make a living by refining medicine."
"But the Clear Sky Sect backed down. Our sect was attacked by the Spirit Hall, more than half of us were killed, and our medicine hall was completely destroyed. This..."
Seeing that Yang Wudi couldn't continue, Ye Hua nodded, "I understand, Vital Essence."
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Niu Gao quickly changed the subject, "Don't say it, don't say it!"
"Didn't the old gorilla say he'd bring us a way to survive? We'll find out the day after tomorrow!"
"Send a young man to take the Night Alliance Leader for a stroll around the city first; don't let our distinguished guest stay cooped up inside!"
Bai Chenxiang, who was clinging to Snow Empress, immediately raised her hand, "Me! Me! Me! I'm calm and reliable!"
Niu Gao was about to object when the man's grandfather spoke up.
"Okay, come back for dinner tonight."
Niu Gao widened his eyes and winked.
[Old bird! Are you crazy?!]
The Bai He returned a knowing look to the crane.
Niu Gao gasped in shock and fell silent.
Dragonrise City was quite prosperous, Bai Chenxiang pointed east and west.
Ye Hua was not short of money, so he strolled around at his leisure, quite content.
Ice Empress's shopping gene has been unleashed, leading to a shopping spree.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm is in a terrible state.
"Why should I carry your things?!"
Ye Hua didn't even turn his head. "The capable should do more."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was devastated. He, a dignified Soul Spirit of a million years, had been reduced to a walking shelf!
Seeing his dejected expression, Ye Hua stopped joking and put everything into the Azure Jade Bracelet.
However, Snow Empress wanted to eat something icy.
Ye Hua knew that she missed the Bingbing, refreshing feeling of the Far North Forest.
"The ice cream shop is a bit far!" Bai Chenxiang tilted her head.
"I'll go buy it!" Ice Empress volunteered.
"No need, no need," Bai Chenxiang smiled mysteriously, "Watch me!"
With a flick of her ponytail, Soul Power surged beneath her feet.
Four Soul Ring, one yellow and one purple, spiraled upwards!
Grayish-brown wings suddenly spread from its back!
The wingtips are long and slender like scissors, with fine feather patterns along the edges.
She flapped her wings and took off, transforming into a gray shadow as she soared into the air in the blink of an eye.
They disappeared from sight in an instant.
Those around were all amazed by what they saw.
Less than a minute later, the gray figure returned.
Bai Chenxiang landed steadily in front of everyone and handed over the oil paper package.
"Look! An ice cream! Still steaming cold!"
Snow Empress took the box and opened it. It was square and neat, with frost on the surface, and it was indeed of excellent quality.
"Thank you! You're so fast."
Bai Chenxiang said proudly, "This is the Sharp-tailed Swift!"
But she didn't notice that revealing her Martial Soul attracted attention.
The two figures discussed for a moment, then disappeared into the corner.
The group strolled around for another half an hour before finally stopping at a tea stall on a street corner to rest.
Just then, the street suddenly became quiet.
Dozens of figures surrounded them from all directions.
Their gazes were cold, and most of them wore the Spirit Hall emblem on their chests.
Except for two people, both dressed in unconventional styles, who led the way at the front.
Both were Soul Emperor; the tall one had a full beard, wore a cowboy hat, and was exceptionally fierce, while the short one had a pointed mouth and monkey-like face, with only a wisp of green hair parted in the middle.
The short man's eyes lingered on Bai Chenxiang for several seconds before sweeping over Ice Empress and Snow Empress, his Greed undisguised.
"Oh, the Sharp-tailed Swift Martial Soul, you must be a little girl from the Speed Clan?"
"Tsk, they're pretty fast. We had to chase them for quite a while!"
"Once we catch them, the two of us can earn at least thirty Gold Soul Coin!"
The Spirit Hall guards behind him also glared at him with hostility, releasing their auras to press down on him.
Bai Chenxiang's smile froze on her face, and she subconsciously took a step back.
"Don't be afraid," Ice Empress, shielding her.
"Hmph," the tall man sneered, "Little girl, you'd better come with us obediently, or we'll have to resort to violence!"
"If you run away, these people around you will have to suffer for you!"
"It's you again! E Kao! Tianya!" Bai Chenxiang gritted her teeth.
"That's right, it's me!" The short man, Tianya, grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. "Little beauty, you have a good memory; you even remember my name."
"Pah!" Bai Chenxiang spat, "Low-lying mountains and stinking waters meet kindred spirits, vicious twin stars!"
"You two have such a terrible reputation, it's unforgettable!"
The tall E Kao wasn't in a hurry; he took off his cowboy hat and twirled it in his hand.
"Tsk, two aloof beauties too? Lucky me today."
"What are you trying to do?" Ice Empress, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Hehehe, little beauty, what do you say?" E Kao licked his lips, his eyes filled with Greed.
Ever since Bule died a violent death due to his lack of foresight, they have become extremely cautious.
To escape his enemies, he even fled directly from the Heaven Dou Empire to the Star Luo Empire!
Hmph, with our sharp eyes, we're definitely not as blind as Bule!
This girl is from the fallen Speed Clan, with no background whatsoever, and the Spirit Hall even suppresses her!
Why not have some fun?
"Hey guys, hold on a minute, let me finish up the important business first!"
Tianya couldn't hold back any longer, and his short, stubby fingers reached directly towards Bai Chenxiang's chest!
"Come with us obediently, or you'll suffer..."
"Um?!"
