The Elder Fairy Undervalued by Zang Xin

On the way back, Cao Xin asked curiously.

"Second Dad, what is the Soul Bone Age-Enhancement Technology Pavilion Master Yun Ming mentioned?"

Zang Xin explained.

"This?"

"Soul Spirit Technology has been developing more and more perfectly."

"From the initial technology for increasing Soul Spirit age to today's Artificial Soul Spirit Technology."

"Thus, the Spirit Pagoda has also begun attempting to develop Artificial Soul Bones and Soul Bone Age-Enhancement Technology."

He paused.

"However, Soul Bones are different from Soul Spirits and Soul Rings."

"Although they are all essentially condensations of energy, Soul Bones are solid."

"So the difficulty of development is much higher, because energy conflicts and vessel stability must be considered."

"Furthermore, the current Soul Bone Age-Enhancement Technology is still in the experimental stage, so there is a certain failure rate."

"The energy consumption is not low either."

"So, even the Spirit Pagoda..."

"Cannot afford to conduct too many experiments."

Cao Xin understood.

Simply put...

He had a fifty percent chance of obtaining a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, and a fifty percent chance of losing a Fifty Thousand Year Soul Bone.

Why did this feel a little like an enhancement system?

At once, scenes of enhancing equipment in games from his previous life involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Click, confirm, a flash of white light.

Either a divine weapon, or fragments scattered across the ground.

What the hell.

Did Seria come here too?

Still, Cao Xin felt quite reassured about this.

After all, he had cheats.

When the time came to enhance it...

He could just use a round of [Self] plus [Set Facts Aside] and forcibly guarantee a one hundred percent enhancement success rate.

At this moment, Cao Xin thought for a moment before asking again.

"Second Dad, what about Cai Yue'er?"

His tone was casual when he mentioned her name, without the slightest trace of respect.

Although, in theory, he needed to use an honorific when addressing a Titled Douluo, given Cai Yue'er's terrible reputation, he chose to call her by name.

Across the entire Douluo Continent, the only Titled Douluo whom even a seven-year-old child could mention without being willing to put on a polite front was probably Cai Yue'er.

Hearing this, Zang Xin rubbed Cao Xin's hair.

"I'll find an opportunity to deal with her."

This time, Cao Xin was genuinely surprised.

His steps paused slightly as he raised his head to look at Zang Xin's profile, his eyes full of astonishment.

Was his Second Dad really this decisive when it came to killing?

His killing of that Inner Court teacher at the Shrek Inner Academy had already been clean and decisive, but at least there had been the reason of "he intended to kill you."

Yet although Cai Yue'er was arrogant and domineering...

After that slap, she had already left. Why had Second Dad already sentenced her to death in his heart?

Seeing Cao Xin's surprised gaze...

Zang Xin laughed.

There was a hint of warmth in that smile. He lowered his head to look at Cao Xin's slightly widened eyes and explained.

"I'm doing this all for you."

Seeing that Cao Xin still did not understand, Zang Xin continued.

"Cai Yue'er has always been lawless. No matter who offends her, even a junior, she will constantly make things difficult for them. Her reputation is terrible."

"Not to mention that this time, I did not leave her even a shred of dignity. With her personality, she certainly will not let this go."

"But with her strength, she would have to be insane to keep provoking me."

"So, she will very easily turn her attention toward you."

"But there is no such thing as guarding against a thief for a thousand days."

"So for your safety, she must die!"

His tone remained calm throughout, as though he were discussing an ordinary household matter, but the determination to uproot the problem completely was clear and unwavering in his words.

"Second Dad."

Cao Xin called softly.

As he looked at Zang Xin, a warm current rose in his heart.

As expected of his Second Dad. He really was domineering.

This affection and protection came directly and firmly, without any hesitation or compromise.

Still, he actually understood Cai Yue'er's personality as well.

He still remembered the portrayal of this Elder in the original work from his previous life vividly.

Narrow-minded and especially harsh toward juniors.

It was just that he did not care.

After all...

That old hag would not come out to cause trouble until ten years later.

But ten years later, he felt that defeating a level ninety-four Titled Douluo should not be difficult.

That was why he had not taken Cai Yue'er seriously.

Seeing Cao Xin's moved expression, Zang Xin reached out and rubbed the top of Cao Xin's head again, his tone carrying the indulgence and comfort unique to an old father.

"Don't think too much. Your First Dad and I only hope that you grow up happily."

"If there is anything I cannot handle, your First Dad will take action too."

"Mm."

Cao Xin nodded.

However, Zang Xin and Cao Xin had still underestimated just how narrow-minded Cai Yue'er was.

Under Long Yeyue's cover, Cai Yue'er secretly left Shrek Academy.

To her...

What had happened today was simply an unbearable humiliation.

From being slapped by Zang Xin to being publicly confined for ten years by Yun Ming.

Whenever she thought back on it...

It was enough to drive her mad.

She covered her swollen right cheek, her teeth grinding audibly, while the hatred in her eyes was so thick it seemed ready to drip venom.

Right now, she only wanted to make Zang Xin pay!

To make him suffer a painful price for it!

But she still retained some rationality.

Using her cultivation to directly provoke a Quasi-God was no different from striking a stone with an egg.

Thus, just as Zang Xin had guessed...

She planned to act against Cao Xin.

She could tell...

Zang Xin cared greatly for that boy.

Therefore, as long as that boy died...

Zang Xin would surely suffer.

A cold gleam flashed through Cai Yue'er's eyes, and the hatred in her heart seemed to have found an outlet.

Of course, Cai Yue'er did not know that the boy was actually the child of Zang Xin and Cao Dezhi.

Otherwise, she would absolutely not have dared to do this.

After all, a junior one cared for greatly and one's own descendant were entirely different matters.

With one, Zang Xin would at most be upset. With the other, Zang Xin and Cao Dezhi would be driven completely mad on the spot and go on a killing spree.

This subtle difference in understanding...

Determined the course of Cai Yue'er's fate from then on.

Naturally, Cai Yue'er did not intend to act personally.

Although her hatred reached the heavens, anger had not completely burned away her mind.

Acting personally meant leaving traces, and leaving traces meant facing Zang Xin's thunderous retaliation.

She did not want Zang Xin to retaliate against her.

Thus, she came to one of Shrek's outer bases and found a squad of Shrek Inspection Corps students carrying out a mission outside.

The Shrek Inspection Corps was made up of Shrek Inner Academy students, whose cultivation ranged from Four-Ring Soul Ancestors to Eight-Ring Soul Douluos.

Those who reached the realm of Nine-Ring Titled Douluo became academy Elders and no longer needed to go out on missions.

The squad had seven members in total.

The captain was a man in his early thirties, lean and capable, with a steady aura. His cultivation was at the level of a Seven-Ring Soul Sage, and a silver Shrek Inspection Corps badge hung from his waist.

The other six members ranged from Six-Ring Soul Emperors to Five-Ring Soul Kings. They wore matching dark-blue combat uniforms and appeared disciplined and well-organized.
