Tang Ya's pretty face flushed, and she grew terribly bashful.
The moment Qian Ran hinted at it, she knew what he meant. This fellow was clearly so young; how could that thing possibly be big? She would never believe it unless she saw it with her own eyes. Pah, pah, pah! What was she thinking?
"Sister Yaya, how about buying me a meal? I don't have any money on me."
"Hmph. Sure. As long as you join the Tang Sect, how about I pay you a salary every month?" An unusual gleam flickered in Tang Ya's beautiful eyes. She knew Qian Ran was a genius, and what the Tang Sect needed most right now was for powerful geniuses like him to join.
"Sister Yaya, why do you keep wanting me to join the Tang Sect? You're a genius yourself. You alone are enough for the Tang Sect. A lazy fellow like me wouldn't be much use even if I joined."
"A genius? What kind of genius am I? My Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass. It could practically be called the weakest Martial Soul." Tang Ya spoke dejectedly. Her Martial Soul was so poor that watching everyone around her advance by leaps and bounds left her utterly desperate. She had come to Shrek Academy for revenge. But her Martial Soul was far too weak, making cultivation far too difficult.
She wanted to avenge her parents, but even she felt she was useless.
If she had talent like Bei Bei, Nan Nan, and the others, how could she possibly have humbled herself like this to seek help from others?
She was too weak, far too weak compared to Bei Bei and the others.
Tang Ya lightly clenched her teeth and lowered her eyes, her whole figure seeming to grow fragile all at once.
At that moment, Qian Ran's heart softened too. Tang Ya was, when all was said and done, a pitiful person. For revenge, she had ultimately fallen into darkness. Throughout that time, Bei Bei had only known to romance Tang Ya and had no idea what she wanted. He had not even known when Yaya went off alone to take revenge.
Bei Bei had no idea what a girl with only Soul Ancestor cultivation would encounter when facing a major sect. Perhaps Tang Ya would suffer humiliation, leading her to fall into darkness.
Bei Bei never cared what Tang Ya wanted. He only knew how to reap ready-made rewards; he merely hoped Tang Ya would stay by his side forever.
All Tang Ya wanted was revenge.
Bei Bei could not give Tang Ya what she wanted, but he could!
Bei Bei was the great-grandson of Shrek Academy's headmaster, and his every action represented Shrek Academy. Thus, Bei Bei could not possibly destroy a major sect like the Iron Blood Sect for Tang Ya. But he, Qian Ran, was different.
"Blue Silver Grass isn't weak, you know. Besides, Sister Yaya's Blue Silver Grass isn't ordinary Blue Silver Grass." Qian Ran's eyes lit up. If he helped Tang Ya become stronger, would he then be able to... There was no free lunch in this world. If you wanted a horse to run, you had to feed it grass. The horse naturally referred to Qian Ran.
He believed he would soon win Tang Ya over. Then he could live a sexually blissful life.
Tang Ya was also a very beautiful, gentle young woman.
"Qian Ran, what do you mean? Is there really powerful Blue Silver Grass in this world?" Tang Ya looked at Qian Ran in astonishment.
"Sister Yaya, your Martial Soul has actually always been powerful. You simply haven't activated its special traits," Qian Ran said calmly.
When the Tang Sect was destroyed and her parents died before her eyes, Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul had already awakened its dark attribute. It simply had not fully erupted yet; only when her heart filled with despair would it awaken completely.
It had been the same in the original work. Tang Ya had gone alone to take revenge with only Soul Ancestor cultivation, but she had been no match for them at all. In the end, she had fallen into darkness, and her strength had soared. Dark Blue Silver Grass could continuously devour others' life force. It could be called extraordinarily overpowered, but it was also very evil, and everyone feared it. Just like that, Tang Ya had quickly fallen into depravity. She had already thrown everything aside for revenge and ultimately wiped out the entire Iron Blood Gate. From that moment onward, Tang Ya was no longer the Tang Ya she had once been. Later, the Holy Spirit Cult had found her, and she had become its holy maiden.
Qian Ran, however, could help Tang Ya directly awaken her Dark Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. After all, he now possessed the legacy of Electrolux, the Undead Calamity. Moreover, he could help Tang Ya retain her sanity.
Simply put, he could let Tang Ya possess an Evil Soul Master's power without an Evil Soul Master's wickedness and cruelty.
The principle was actually very simple. He only needed to use the Six-Winged Angel's holiness to protect Tang Ya's Sea of Consciousness, preventing evil power from eroding her consciousness and sanity. Even if he could not manage it, wasn't there still Qian Renxue? If Tang Ya still fell into becoming an Evil Soul Master right under his and Qian Renxue's noses, they might as well forget about seeking revenge against Tang San.
"How could that be? Can I really become very strong?" Tang Ya instinctively doubted it. Despite her usual carefree manner, she actually felt deeply inferior. Because she was weak, she easily became a burden to others, and every year, even giving her all, she struggled to pass the academy's assessments.
"Of course you can. It just depends on whether you're willing to obtain that kind of power."
"As long as I can become stronger, I can endure any hardship." Tang Ya's beautiful eyes were filled with determination.
"I'll buy you some food first. Let's talk while we eat." At that moment, Tang Ya wished she could immediately drag Qian Ran back to her room for a proper conversation, but she also understood that she could not rush something like this.
"All right. After we eat, let's find somewhere private to talk. There are too many people and prying eyes outside." Qian Ran nodded.
"All right." Tang Ya nodded.
After quickly finishing their meal, Tang Ya pulled Qian Ran straight to a nearby hotel and booked a room.
Inside the luxurious hotel, Tang Ya held Qian Ran's hand, her pretty face pink.
It was her first time getting a room with a boy. Although it was for serious business, she still could not help feeling something unusual stir in her heart.
And she could also sense the way Qian Ran looked at her. This fellow was not the least bit well-behaved.
Tang Ya sat prettily on the edge of the bed. Even Shrek Academy's school uniform could not conceal her lovely, alluring figure, her long hair draped over her shoulders. She truly was a beautiful young schoolgirl.
Looking at Tang Ya's back, Qian Ran smiled.
This was even a couples hotel. It was perfectly normal for the hotels around the academy to all be couples hotels.
This bed is so big, too!
If I took this opportunity to push Tang Ya down... No, I'm not that kind of person.
I'm an upright man. I would never entertain such filthy thoughts.
At that very moment, Qian Ran's heart was occupied only with how to help this pitiful girl before him, who had lost both her parents. He did not have a single improper thought.
"Have you looked enough?" Tang Ya's face was red. Carefree as she was, she was still a girl at a time like this. Staying alone in a hotel with Qian Ran, she could not help feeling a little shy. Had she known, she would not have brought Qian Ran to get a room. This was so embarrassing she could die. This place offered considerable privacy; no one would know what she and Qian Ran were doing.
"Not enough. No matter how much I look, it's never enough." Qian Ran looked toward Tang Ya's long, smooth legs and smiled.
"Heh, aren't you going to hurry up and tell me what's going on?" Qian Ran's gaze made Tang Ya's heart pound wildly. Even when she was with Bei Bei, she had never experienced this feeling of her heartbeat quickening.
"Xiao Ya, could you release your Martial Soul first?" Qian Ran still needed to examine Tang Ya's Martial Soul to confirm his judgment.
"All right." Tang Ya released her Martial Soul, and three Soul Rings, two yellow and one purple, appeared beneath her.
Qian Ran's expression grew solemn now as he carefully observed Tang Ya's Martial Soul. As long as Tang Ya's Martial Soul possessed any evil attribute, he could slowly help her awaken that evil attribute completely.
"Just as I thought... It looks like my judgment was right." Qian Ran smiled.
