Huang Tieyi sat lazily in the recliner, looking at Feng Lingling. She had just woken up, her eyes filled with calm, devoid of hatred. This transformation was not something that could be caused by Martial Soul absorbing evil energy; it was a kind of forbearance and dormancy, burying hatred deep in her heart, ready to erupt like a volcano at any moment due to anger.
"Feng Lingling, this is the Book of Oaths. Sign your name and press your bloody fingerprint on it, and I'll keep you here. Otherwise, I'll have to kill you," Huang Tieyi said, taking the Book of Oaths out of his Space Ring.
When Feng Lingling saw the scroll in Huang Tieyi's hand, she knew she absolutely could not sign it. If she did, her life would be at the mercy of others. But if she didn't sign it, she wouldn't even have a chance to live.
"Master, I'm willing to sign." Feng Lingling said after a moment of silence, her voice filled with reluctance.
Huang Tieyi unfolded the Book of Oaths, and Feng Lingling was surprised to see that there were already two names on it. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up a pen, wrote her own name, bit her finger, and pressed it onto her name.
Huang Tieyi put the Book of Oaths into his Space Ring and said with a serious expression, "I know you have hatred in your heart, hatred so great that you want to kill me. But I didn't kill your daughter; it was the Evil Soul Master who killed her. Before you were captured, your daughter had been turned into Puppet by the Evil Soul Master, and your capture was also a setup."
Your goal was to find a way to get close to me and kill me. I reacted quickly and killed your fake daughter. If you want revenge, cultivate diligently and become a more powerful Soul Master. Then you can use your own methods to kill and take your revenge."
"Yes, Master, I understand," Feng Lingling said softly.
"Fine, it seems you don't trust me either. It's alright, you've signed the Book of Oaths, so you can only obey me and can't harbor any ill intentions towards me. The rest is up to you," Huang Tieyi said calmly. "You may leave now and find a room on the first floor."
"Yes." Feng Lingling left Huang Tieyi's bedroom on the third floor.

"Big brother, are you really living happily ever after with Ling Yuan Kite?" Golden Crocodile Douluo teased, looking at Ling Yuan Douluo nestled in Qian Daoliu's arms.
"Yes, that's right. Remember to prepare two sets of monetary gifts for my wedding day," Qian Daoliu said with a smile.
"No problem, whatever number you say, Big Brother, that's how many." Golden Crocodile Douluo said readily.
"Big brother, we're fine too," said Holy Dragon Douluo.
"Ling Yuan has passed the Phoenix God's Divine Trial test, and I have now completed the Angel God Trial and become the High Priest. I am no longer able to participate in other Divine Trial, but you still can. However, you have no chance to become gods, but you should be able to receive rewards such as increased lifespan of your Soul Ring or Soul Power."
"After this wedding, you will follow Ling Yuan to undergo the Phoenix God's test. I will guarantee your safety," Qian Daoliu said.
"Divine Trial! Ling Yuan was actually bestowed Divine Trial by the Phoenix God! How enviable!" Light Feather Douluo said with a smile. "It's wonderful that we can benefit from it."
"Don't get too excited yet. I don't know if the Phoenix God needs a successor or even more protectors. I'm just letting you know this so you can be a little envious," Qian Daoliu said seriously.
"Brother, how can you talk like that? You've been nourished by love; your mindset has become so young," Golden Crocodile Douluo said with a smile.
"You don't understand the taste of love!" Qian Daoliu said with a blissful expression.
"Big brother, can you please be mindful of the situation? We're still single, you know," Thousand Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo said with resentful expressions.
"Serves you right, I'll teach you to be single dogs." Qian Daoliu said without any politeness, "I'll teach you not to look for each other. There are so many excellent female Soul Master in our Spirit Hall, don't you know to find someone you like first, and then talk about Worldview? You didn't even do the first thing about finding someone you like first, no wonder you can't find anyone."
"Women will only slow down our swings," said the Demon Subduing Douluo.
"Hmph, since you think women are affecting you, then don't stand by and envy them," Qian Daoliu said with a cold snort. "Stop spouting sour words. You don't feel ashamed, but I do."
"Hahaha..." Light Feather Douluo said gloatingly from the side, "You got what you deserved. Look at me, I don't need women, and I'm not envious."
"Alright, you can all leave now," Qian Daoliu said with a look of disgust.
"Big brother, you've found true love and don't want us anymore, it's so heartbreaking..." Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others egged him on, making Ling Yuan Douluo blush furiously as she left Qian Daoliu's room.
"Ling Yuan..." Qian Daoliu couldn't resist looking down and kissing the alluring Ling Yuan Douluo.
After their fierce battle, Qian Daoliu and Ling Yuan Douluo flew over the Huang Manor. Seeing the three-acre Manor, both were filled with shock. They were especially astonished to find only a Villa and a large warehouse within the vast courtyard.
"That brat really has no taste, he can't even build a garden," Qian Daoliu said, speechless.
"A Yi, he might not have had time to do it yet," Ling Yuan Douluo said from the side. "He doesn't want to do it, Dong'er and the other girls won't let him."
"That's true. Let's go down and see what this brat is up to," Qian Daoliu said with a smile.
Qian Daoliu and Ling Yuan Douluo landed in front of the Villa. Qian Daoliu frowned slightly, "Why do I have a feeling that there's Evil Soul Master in this kid's room?"
"Evil Soul Master? Is A Yi in danger?" Ling Yuan Douluo asked with a worried expression.
"It's not dangerous, it's just a bit strange." Qian Daoliu said, pushing open the door and seeing Ruan Tiantian using her Soul Skill to make Hardtack.
"Great Enshrined, Ling Yuan, are you two done with your date?" Huang Tieyi stood up from the sofa, looking at Qian Daoliu and Ling Yuan Douluo at the door with a surprised expression.
"A Yi, what's wrong with this woman? She's Evil Soul Master!" Qian Daoliu didn't answer Huang Tieyi's question, but said with a serious expression.
"This is one of the cooks I hired. Her Martial Soul Poisonous Steamed Bun, and her first Soul Skill is 'Hardtack.' This kind of food, capable of killing someone, can be stored for a long time. That's why I had her make some; I use them to beat people up." Huang Tieyi said solemnly upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, "Great Enshrined, she is not Evil Soul Master; it's just that her Martial Soul is somewhat special. As the Great Enshrined of the Spirit Hall, the representative of the Angel God on the Douluo Continent, you shouldn't easily define someone with a unique Martial Soul as Evil Soul Master!"
"You said it, but you're a proper Titled Douluo, yet you don't fight people properly and use Hardtack. What were you thinking?"
