Inside the devouring space,
Na Nali and Leng Yulai leaned against each other, both deathly pale.
Every time they managed to gather some soul power, the space sucked it away. Once that little bit of soul power was absorbed, the space began devouring their life force.
Fortunately, they were both Super Douluos with tenacious vitality, which was the only reason they had held on until now.
"Luo Chen!!! Did you die out there?! Are you really just abandoning me?!" Na Nali shouted furiously.
But in this space where daylight never reached, no matter how she shouted, all that answered her was endless darkness and the soul power being sucked from her body yet again.
"Luo Chen, please let me out! I'll be your beast of burden, your maid!" As Na Nali spoke, little pearls of tears began spilling from her eyes.
Watching her gave Leng Yulai a headache.
"How old are you, and you're still talking about being a maid? Even if you scream your throat raw, Luo Chen won't hear you. Save your breath."
The mention of her age immediately upset Na Nali, and she turned her head.
"No matter what, I'm younger than you! Hmph, what do you know? When Luo Chen comes in, he'll definitely feel sorry for me. Maybe he'll get so happy that he'll let me go!"
"Let you go? Do you think that's possible?" Leng Yulai asked.
"If he doesn't let me go, is he going to let you go instead?"
"He just might. After all, I understand men's minds all too well," Leng Yulai said flippantly, putting on a seductive, alluring expression.
"You? Understand men's minds? Who was so desperately in love with Yun Ming, only to never win him over? Even your sister stepped in between you and Yun Ming." Na Nali toyed with her twin ponytails as she spoke with a smile.
"What! Did! You! Say!" Leng Yulai's flippancy vanished completely, her expression turning cold. Mentioning Yun Ming was like flipping some kind of switch. "I'll kill you!"
"Kill me? With no soul power? Even with soul power, you're no match for me!" Na Nali taunted.
"Then try me!" Leng Yulai struggled to her feet and lunged at Na Nali.
"???" Na Nali was startled by Leng Yulai's actions too.
"Wait, you're serious? Shouldn't we be saving our strength and thinking about how to escape?"
"I'll kill you!" Leng Yulai paid no attention to anything Na Nali said now. All she wanted was to teach the barely one-and-a-half-meter-tall Na Nali before her a good lesson.
Seeing Leng Yulai charge recklessly toward her, Na Nali could only scamper away on her short little legs. Neither of them had any soul power. With her height, fighting Leng Yulai would be like an old man toying with a naughty child!
She had no chance of winning at all.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out inside the devouring space.
"You two still have plenty of energy. Looks like I need to speed up the soul power devouring."
Luo Chen had actually come in some time ago. He had wanted to see whether they still had any tricks up their sleeves, only to witness this hilarious scene!
"Luo Chen! Please let me out! I can be your maid!" Seeing Luo Chen was like seeing a savior to Na Nali.
With snot and tears streaming down her face, she put on quite a convincing performance.
Luo Chen: "?"
"What would I need a maid for? I'm not falling for that."
Luo Chen glanced over Na Nali's figure. She was petite and delicate, with her long chestnut hair divided into two fluffy ponytails, now somewhat disheveled after her long stay in the devouring space.
Her once-pristine white, short school uniform dress and white over-the-knee stockings were now covered in dust.
[Finding a maid would be easy. You can't compare to Hu Liena in figure, or Vina in obedience.]
[If Jiujiu and Qiu'er can appear in this era, perhaps they can too.]
[Besides, one was Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden twenty thousand years ago, and the other was the Heaven Dou Empire's princess ten thousand years ago. Both have better backgrounds than you, one of the Holy Spirit Cult's Four Dark Heavenly Kings.]
[Most importantly, they're both younger than you!]
Outside the Sky Screen, several heroines reacted to hearing this.
Hu Liena: Luo Chen, so you like having me as your maid!
Ning Rongrong: Hmph! Luo Chen, you have such twisted tastes! Why didn't you mention this princess's name?!
Vina: As long as you like it, Luo Chen.
"Then I can provide information on the Holy Spirit Cult! Don't you want to know the plan the Holy Spirit Cult has been plotting for ten thousand years?" Na Nali asked.
She could no longer afford to worry about retaliation from the Holy Spirit Cult. If she stayed here any longer, she feared she really would die.
"Information? I don't need it. What plans could the Holy Spirit Cult possibly have?"
"Isn't it just cooperating with the Spirit Pagoda to blow up Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect with two Level 12 Soul Cannon Shells, then working with the Abyss Plane to activate that bullshit Blood River God-Slaying Array and turn your Holy Spirit Cult's Demon Empress into a god?"
At this point, Luo Chen looked at Na Nali.
"Anything else you'd like to add?"
Na Nali was instantly speechless. There were things among what Luo Chen had said that even she didn't know! Surely Luo Chen was the Holy Spirit Cult's Holy Son!
Otherwise, why would the Ghost Emperor and the Underworld Emperor value him so highly? He even knew so many of the Holy Spirit Cult's secrets.
"Still, letting you two out isn't impossible," Luo Chen suddenly said. "But you'll have to do something for me."
"What is it?"
"Steal the two Level 12 Soul Cannon Shells that the Spirit Pagoda is preparing to give the Holy Spirit Cult," Luo Chen said.
"???"
Na Nali and Leng Yulai both froze upon hearing Luo Chen's words.
He wanted the two of them, both Super Douluos, to steal Level 12 Soul Cannon Shells?
"No problem, as long as you let me out." Na Nali skipped over to Luo Chen's side, putting on a pitiful, helpless look.
"I wouldn't feel safe letting you out just like that." Luo Chen pointed at Na Nali's forehead.
An imprint of the Ice Ancestral Talisman was etched there, and to be safe, Luo Chen also planted an imprint in Na Nali's Sea of Consciousness.
His spiritual power already far surpassed Na Nali's, so invading her Sea of Consciousness took no more effort than blowing away dust.
Upon entering Na Nali's Sea of Consciousness, Luo Chen discovered an extremely well-hidden blood curse within it.
However, Luo Chen's Ice Ancestral Talisman was the bane of all blood curses. With the slightest stir, it froze the blood curse.
There was no need to think about it. The Holy Spirit Cult's higher-ups must have placed it there.
As for why he hadn't erased it, Luo Chen feared that doing so would alert the Holy Spirit Cult's higher-ups.
"The Holy Spirit Cult really is ruthless. They don't even trust the Four Dark Heavenly Kings under their command."
"But that's precisely how the Holy Spirit Cult managed the feat of creating a god after the Divine Realm disappeared."
After planting the Ice Ancestral Talisman's imprint in Na Nali, Luo Chen turned to Leng Yulai.
"What about you?"
"Hmph! I'd never help you do something like that! Kill me or cut me to pieces, do whatever you want," Leng Yulai said coldly.
Hearing this, Luo Chen recalled what Na Nali had said earlier and slowly spoke.
"Fine, then stay here forever. Who knows? The next time you come out might happen to be Yun Ming and Leng Yaozhu's wedding day..."
Before Luo Chen could finish, Leng Yulai's expression changed instantly.
"I agree."
Luo Chen studied Leng Yulai, who had changed her tune so quickly. It seemed he had discovered how to make use of her?
