034-Nana Released Soul Power, Shocking Everyone

Chapter 35: 034-Nana Released Soul Power, Shocking Everyone (Please Vote)

Besides, Wanxin had clearly wanted to pick him up just now. How could he allow that? He was a clean freak. He might not even let Bibi Dong touch him, so how could he casually let a maid hold him?

"Oh, all right."

Wanxin felt a little disappointed at his words.

Thus, Wanxin and Xiaolan carried out the entire little bed Xu Feng lay on. Xu Feng had not taken so much as a single step.

[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have once again reached new heights of laziness, redefining laziness for two maids and earning the Lying Flat System achievement "A Little Renown for Laziness." Reward: Soul Power Level progress increased by 70%, 300 Lying Flat Points.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host. Your soul power gauge has exceeded 100%. Your level has automatically advanced.]

Boom!

"Huh?"

"Senior Brother, did you fart?"

"@#￥%..." Xu Feng's face darkened, and he cursed inwardly, Damn it, that was a breakthrough! A breakthrough!

Forget it.

Xu Feng could not even be bothered to respond to that girl Nana.

[Friendly reminder: Host, you have not opened the shop for over a week. All shop items have refreshed. Would you like to open it?]

Another notification sounded. Bored and with nothing to do, Xu Feng opened it. A dazzling array of goods appeared before him, but he... was interested in almost none of them.

Most of these goods were cultivation arts, formations, and manuals for crafting soul tools. There were even assembly-line engineering drawings for the Godly Zhuge Crossbow...

But every last one required physical or mental effort to learn. How could he possibly buy them?

"Hmm?"

Just then, Xu Feng spotted an item in the manual category.

Name: Qingqiu Immortal Art

Price: 10,000 (90% off)

Description: A cultivation method surpassing the "Mysterious Heaven Skill," suitable for women. It can nurture soul power without limit and help practitioners release soul power outside their bodies. Includes a special effect: grow more beautiful with age.

"Grow more beautiful with age?"

"Hiss..."

Xu Feng sucked in a breath, then bought it without another word.

Among these thousands upon thousands of goods, Xu Feng had taken a liking to nothing but this one item. What did that mean...?

Fate!

It certainly was not because he wanted to raise Nana into a pretty young lady.

And why had Xu Feng bought it without another word?

Of course, it was because...

It was cheap!

Had they not seen the ninety-percent discount?

Not buying it at that price would damn well provoke the wrath of gods and men and bring down heaven's punishment!

Most importantly, according to the manual's description, Hu Liena could use the Qingqiu Immortal Art to accumulate soul power ahead of time. When she awakened at six, even level-twenty innate full soul power would probably be no problem.

Then Nana would become a genius who drew everyone's attention.

How could his future pretty young lady have poor talent? That was absolutely unacceptable.

"But Nana is still so little. Can that little head of hers learn it?"

Concern arose in Xu Feng's heart, and he decided to give it a try. He looked at Hu Liena. "Junior Sister, come here."

"Okay."

Hu Liena obediently came over to Xu Feng.

"No matter what happens in a moment, don't move."

"Okay."

After giving that reminder, Xu Feng stretched out his little hand and gently touched Hu Liena's forehead.

[Ding! Host's use of the manual transfer function detected. Please select a target.]

[Ding! Target selected successfully. Transferring manual.]

As the notification faded, the manual turned into a vast stream of information that slowly flowed through Xu Feng's hand into Hu Liena.

"S-Senior Brother, be gentle... it hurts..."

Feeling intense pain, Hu Liena hurriedly cast an aggrieved look at Xu Feng. Unfortunately, before she could receive an answer, a massive stream of information "plunged" straight into her head.

"Ah-!"

"Miss Nana?"

"What's wrong?"

"What on earth is going on?"

With a scream, Hu Liena felt as though her body had broken through some barrier. The pain made her faint straight into Xu Feng's arms, a pained expression still on her face. The two maids beside them were so frightened that they did not know what to do.

"As expected, having Nana absorb the manual's contents directly was too much for her."

"Luckily, I have a backup."

Xu Feng motioned for the two maids to be quiet, then opened the system shop.

[Ding! You have selected the item "Qingqiu Immortal Art Comprehension Inheritance." Price: 2,000. Purchase?]

"Holy shit, that's full price."

Xu Feng felt a pang. He rarely bought things at full price.

But Nana was already in this state, and he had caused it. Xu Feng could no longer worry about that. He bought it outright and selected Nana as the inheritance's recipient.

[Ding! Transferring inheritance...]

[10%...]

[30%...]

[50%...]

[100%...]

Now Xu Feng could see Nana's complexion visibly beginning to improve.

Miraculously, a thin white mist appeared all around Nana, like immortal vapor swirling about her. Even at her tender age, she exuded a hazy allure.

"How magical..."

Beside them, the two maids stared, a little dazed. They suddenly realized... little Xu Feng was not the only adorably innocent one. Nana possessed astonishing charm as well.

"S-Senior Brother!"

"Don't speak. Keep focusing on comprehending what you just learned."

"Okay."

It took a full quarter of an hour for Hu Liena to regain consciousness. Yet she had only just left Xu Feng's arms when he told her to keep meditating to consolidate her understanding.

Just like that, a day quickly passed.

In the shadows, Yue Guan had also watched them for the entire day.

"What on earth are these people doing?"

Yue Guan felt as though he was going mad.

The little girl had spent all day meditating in contemplation and seemed quite serious, so he would leave her aside.

But what the hell was that little boy doing?

Out of ten parts of his time, he spent six sleeping, two spacing out, one watching the two maids space out, and the last having the two maids watch him space out.

"I really don't understand the point of His Holiness the Pope having me watch them."

"To watch two little brats play house?"

Yue Guan was full of silent grumbling.

But when Yue Guan saw what happened next, he froze on the spot.

Whoosh!

Hu Liena had now emerged from her contemplation. Miraculously, with just a wave of her little hand, she released a wisp of soul power, sending it out of her body toward Xu Feng.

Pop!

That wisp of soul power merely brushed Xu Feng's face, like a gentle breeze.

"Heehee... this is fun..."

Hu Liena laughed, her face full of mischief. Yet she did not realize that, at that moment, the two maids beside her and even Yue Guan hidden in the shadows had all frozen stiff, their faces filled with shock.

"Miss Nana, she... she actually learned to release soul power outside her body?"

Wanxin's face was blank, and even her voice trembled a little.

"H-How is that possible? Miss Nana hasn't even awakened her martial soul. How can she release soul power?"

"This little girl..."

In the shadows, Yue Guan stared fixedly at Hu Liena, every detail he had just witnessed running through his mind.

"This..."

"This defies all reason!"

Yue Guan could not make sense of it no matter how hard he thought, and the horror on his face only deepened.

Everyone knew that some soul masters could create their own soul skills precisely because they had mastered the ability to release soul power outside their bodies, allowing them to explore new soul skills.

Now that this girl had mastered releasing soul power, that meant she would definitely be able to create her own soul skills in the future. Even without absorbing soul rings, she would be able to unleash soul skills.

"She isn't even three yet, is she? How can she release soul power?"

The more he watched the little girl, the deeper Yue Guan's puzzlement grew. Had His Holiness the Pope not ordered him only to watch them and not act on his own, he would have rushed over right then to ask for a clear answer.

"Whew..."

Xu Feng stretched. He was not surprised by Nana's performance; after all, it was all within his expectations.

"Senior Brother, what are we doing next?"

Hu Liena hugged Xu Feng's arm and shook it, a hint of dependence in her eyes.

Perhaps that dependence came from the embrace last night that had made her feel so utterly at ease. When she was afraid, her senior brother could give her a sense of security.

Or perhaps it came from those strange snacks she had eaten earlier, which had let her experience the joy of sharing for the first time. Before this, no one except her family had ever treated her that way.

"You little girl..."

Xu Feng patted Hu Liena's head, then said to the two maids, "We've cultivated all day. It's time to rest."

"Cultivated all day?"

The two maids paused, a little dumbfounded.

"We can understand saying Miss Nana cultivated all day."

"But Young Master Xu Feng, when did you cultivate all day?"

The two maids looked at Xu Feng, rather dumbstruck, but he ignored them and lay straight down.

"Anyway, I'm tired. Let's go back inside."

At his words, the two maids once again had their understanding of laziness redefined.

They truly could not understand. Young Master Xu Feng had clearly spent the whole day lying down, so why on earth was he tired? Surely he had the least right to say he was tired.

"It seems..."

"I need to report this to His Holiness the Pope as soon as possible."

In the shadows, Yue Guan said this to himself, then quietly left.
