The Dominant Role in Martial Soul Fusion

He stared intently at the young child before him. After a long silence, she let out a deep breath.

The other party's clothing did not resemble the attire of an ordinary sect disciple. On top of that, he could casually summon a healing bishop Soul Master from a Spirit Hall branch. His background was clearly immense.

As for how he had uncovered her origins, aside from her initial shock and nervousness, Liu Erlong was not particularly surprised.

It was simply that she disliked the name Yu Erlong and refused to acknowledge it.

After all, that bastard Yu Luomian was unworthy of being her father, and he had never acknowledged her mother and daughter!

"I'm not surnamed Yu. My surname is Liu." Liu Erlong spoke solemnly, her gaze turning toward her mother's house as she drew a deep breath. "And that bastard Yu Luomian has never acknowledged my mother and me. I will never acknowledge him either!"

Qian Chenzhou smiled as he watched her. Her righteous, indignant appearance now had a bit more substance to it.

He simply wondered whether she would immediately turn into that brainless fool when facing Yu Xiaogang.

But none of that mattered.

"I came here to see you." Qian Chenzhou spoke calmly, pointing toward the wooden house. "I only came to save your mother and tell you a few things along the way."

"As long as you tell me, I'd be willing to climb mountains of blades and descend into seas of fire!"

Liu Erlong's eyes became incomparably resolute.

The years she and her mother had spent depending on each other had long forged her tenacious character. To keep others from bullying them, her temper had become exceptionally fierce as well.

"From now on, do whatever you need to do. Your mother only needs to take medicine and recuperate." Qian Chenzhou pointed at the prescription in her arms. "However, later on, someone named Yu Xiaogang will come into contact with you, intentionally or otherwise."

"Yu Xiaogang?"

Confusion first appeared on Liu Erlong's face, then turned into disgust.

After all, anyone surnamed Yu was overwhelmingly likely to belong to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan!

"He is Yu Yuanzhen's son. If you count the relationship, you should be cousins." Qian Chenzhou looked at Liu Erlong, a faint smile on his lips.

That fellow Xiaogang spoke of romantic love, but what was with that Xuanzi from who knew how many years later?

After all, the Golden Holy Dragon was not something that could mutate so easily.

It would not be impossible to force an explanation that it was the mutated descendant of another Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan member, but Luo Sanpao was originally the source of the Golden Holy Dragon. It was only because Xiaogang was too useless that he held Luo Sanpao back.

"I don't acknowledge it." Liu Erlong's face turned cold.

"There's also someone named Flender. The three of you will form a Martial Soul Fusion, but Yu Xiaogang will take the lead and become the Golden Holy Dragon." Qian Chenzhou clicked his tongue. "According to my calculations, that Martial Soul Fusion will affect you."

Liu Erlong clenched her fists, a dangerous gleam flashing in her eyes.

"It will affect your mind. You will develop an unavoidable fondness for Yu Xiaogang, perhaps even mad love, because he is the dominant one."

"Impossible!" Liu Erlong gritted her teeth.

The so-called love between cousins was already an extremely twisted thing!

How could Liu Erlong possibly do something like that!

"As long as you get to know that useless Yu Xiaogang, you'll find out whether I'm telling the truth or not." Qian Chenzhou stood and looked toward the wooden house. "It's getting late. We should leave as well."

"Remember, don't kill Yu Xiaogang. As long as he is alive, he is still useful to me."

"If you really are affected, then think about your mother. If she learned of the disgraceful affair between you and your cousin, how heartbroken would she be?"

Liu Erlong said nothing. She merely followed behind him in silence until they reached the village entrance and watched him board the luxurious carriage.

The carriage gradually departed.

Seeing Liu Erlong still standing there, biting her lip tightly, the village chief knew there was definitely some secret between the two of them.

Even a healing bishop from Spirit City could be summoned so easily. It was clear just how terrifyingly high that child's status was.

Now that he had taken an interest in Liu Erlong, as long as the chief built a good relationship with her, his future would surely be prosperous!

"Erlong, your mother's illness has improved greatly. It's time you thought about yourself." The village chief patted Liu Erlong on the shoulder. "If you trust me, leave the burden of caring for your mother to me. I'll definitely take good care of her."

Liu Erlong did not say a word. She merely turned around and left in silence.

Inside the carriage, Ghost kept replaying the earlier words in his mind as he looked at Qian Chenzhou.

"Young Master, can Martial Soul Fusion really affect someone's mind?"

When he and Yue Guan used their Martial Soul Fusion skill, the Bipolar Stillness Domain, they had not felt any major difference. If anything, their brotherhood had only grown stronger.

He felt that the Young Master's words were somewhat exaggerated.

"It can, and the effect is not small." Qian Chenzhou nodded calmly. Reclining on a silk-cushioned couch, he popped a grape into his mouth and looked at Ghost. "Your situation with Yue Guan is relatively good. Your levels are not too far apart, and the quality of your Martial Souls is similar, so you do not feel it too strongly. Other than the two of you grown men being a little too close, there are no major problems."

"Look at the Netherworld White Tiger of the Star Luo Empire. The White Tiger has always been the dominant one. Even if it told the Netherworld Spirit Cat to die, she would do so willingly."

"That is the effect. If the quality gap between the two sides in a Martial Soul Fusion is too great, the stronger party will inevitably take the lead, and the influence on the weaker party will be magnified without limit."

Ghost's eyes instantly lit up.

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable Qian Chenzhou's words seemed.

Before joining Spirit Hall, he had traveled across the continent for a time, and the Star Luo Empire had been among the places he visited.

When he met that old fellow Dai Tianfeng, the woman beside him had been as obedient as a dog, without the slightest resistance.

If not for the sake of the Star Luo Emperor's dignity, if Dai Tianfeng had truly lowered himself to recruit him,

Perhaps even if he had asked for Dai Tianfeng's woman to accompany him, she would not have harbored the slightest resentment and would only have obediently complied!

At first, he had been extremely envious. After all, who would not want such an obedient woman?

Only now, after the Young Master's reminder, did he understand the cause and effect!

Cold sweat rose down his back.

Fortunately, the quality of his and Yue Guan's Martial Souls and their Soul Power levels were not far apart. Otherwise, if either side truly became the dominant one, he did not even dare imagine what that would look like.

Golden Crocodile, seated atop the carriage, frowned slightly.

Even the Soul Power barrier Ghost had set up could not stop him from overhearing the conversation between Qian Chenzhou and Liu Erlong, much less now, when no one had set up a Soul Power barrier at all. Naturally, he had heard every word clearly.
