Using a Soul Skill on me?!
Ye Han spotted what was happening at a glance.
He could not help finding Hu Liena amusing.
He had absorbed a ninety-thousand-year Light Subdragon Soul Bone.
His mental strength was now who knew how many times greater than hers.
Wasn't using a mental Soul Skill on him like playing a lute to a cow?
But soon, Ye Han gave a wicked smile. Since she wanted to play, he would oblige.
"S-s-senior sister Nana."
Ye Han immediately pretended to be under her control and burrowed into her embrace to make mischief.
"Hehe, junior brother Xiao Han~"
"From now on, you belong to your senior sister~"
Hu Liena giggled, her alluring eyes languid, her voice echoing inside the tent.
Her delicate, jade-like fingers slid slowly down from Ye Han's little face.
"Yes, yes, I belong to senior sister Nana."
Ye Han kept pretending, though he was quite happy to enjoy himself.
This made Hu Liena giggle repeatedly, casting aside her reservations and growing ever bolder.
Yet, at this critical moment when things were about to spiral out of control.
The crazy woman Bibi Dong's urgent cries suddenly rang out from outside the tent:
"Nana! Where did you go?! Why aren't you in your tent?!!!"
Perhaps her voice was simply too loud; even Ling Yuan nearby was disturbed.
"Ah! Oh no!"
Hu Liena's face instantly turned pale. Reluctantly, she put Ye Han down and fled.
"Hmm... what's going on?"
Ling Yuan happened to wake up and spotted Ye Han not far away.
Perhaps because she was too groggy, she noticed nothing unusual.
She walked drowsily over to Ye Han beside her, gathered him into her arms, and giggled:
"My dear husband, you mustn't run around. We agreed to eat, bathe, and sleep together, remember? Hehe~"
With that, she kissed Ye Han's cheek and held him as she fell sound asleep again.
"Gulp~!"
Only then did Ye Han regain his clarity, taking in the situation.
Naturally, he now saw how scantily dressed sister Ling Yuan was.
Hehe, every last one of them... how am I supposed to handle this in the future?!
Ye Han gave a naughty chuckle, then burrowed deeper into Ling Yuan's embrace and dozed lightly with a peaceful expression.
The night passed like the turning of a page.
With that turn, the next morning arrived.
Ye Han and Ling Yuan stepped out of the tent and saw Hu Liena and Bibi Dong nearby.
The intimate scenes from last night involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
Recalling Hu Liena's seductive figure and bewitching expression was positively intoxicating.
"Hehe, that little fox... she really was horny last night!"
Ye Han muttered to himself, a playful smile curling his lips.
Hu Liena also noticed Ye Han and immediately ran over.
"Junior brother Xiao Han, did you sleep well last night?"
Hu Liena smiled like a flower in bloom, a hint of teasing in her voice.
Ye Han naturally understood that she was flirting, but feigned ignorance:
"Huh? With sister Ling Yuan keeping me company, I slept pretty well!"
Those words immediately filled Hu Liena with jealousy, and she glanced at Ling Yuan.
D-did he forget everything that happened last night? Does he only remember how good Elder Ling Yuan was to him?!
"Enough. Let's head back!"
Seeing the two talking, Bibi Dong immediately cut them off coldly.
And so, the four set off on the journey back to Spirit City.
Along the way, despite Bibi Dong's every attempt to interfere, Hu Liena continued talking to Ye Han.
She hovered around Ye Han, chattering nonstop and constantly hinting at what had happened last night.
Ye Han understood the principle of letting go to reel someone in. Enjoying her anxiety, he continued pretending not to know.
Still, he vaguely mentioned that something had felt strange last night, but he had no memory of that period.
This made Hu Liena secretly resolve to recreate last night's scene through her own efforts next time, without using a Soul Skill.
At sunset, they finally returned to Spirit City.
"Your Holiness, the Holy Son's current circumstances far exceed all common sense..."
"According to the rules, I should take him to see the Great Enshrined now."
Just after they entered the city gates, Ling Yuan spoke respectfully to Bibi Dong. This immediately infuriated Bibi Dong, and she frantically thought of a countermeasure.
If this little bastard tells Qian Daoliu his theories...
Qian Daoliu will certainly believe them, then overturn the theories Xiao Gang poured his blood into researching.
When that happens, Xiao Gang will surely become a sinner condemned across the continent, a rat everyone cries out to beat!
"No-"
Having thought it through, Bibi Dong was about to refuse.
But an eerie, ghostly shadow suddenly flashed over.
He transformed into a man in black and spoke respectfully:
"Greetings, Your Holiness!"
Ye Han and Hu Liena were both startled.
There was no need to guess; the man in black was none other than Ghost Elder Gui Mei.
With her words interrupted and her temper already flaring, Bibi Dong was about to vent her anger on him.
But Gui Mei glanced at Ye Han, the corners of his lips lifting as he spoke first:
"Your Holiness, the investigation has yielded results. I believe you will find them very interesting."
At those words, Bibi Dong was instantly overjoyed and immediately said:
"Ghost Elder, let us go somewhere else so you can tell me all about it!"
With that, she vanished from the spot, with Gui Mei following close behind.
Ye Han, however, instantly felt a surge of alarm. Had they uncovered his background?
As he understood it, his parents were the ones who had discovered Tang Hao's love affair with a Soul Beast back then.
Because Tang Hao hunted them down, they had been forced to tell the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
It was precisely because of this that the news had reached Qian Xunji's ears.
Qian Xunji had hunted Tang Hao down because of it, ultimately leading to his death.
Naturally, the outside world did not know Bibi Dong had killed him; the story circulating outside was that Tang Hao had done it.
So, all things considered, in the eyes of the outside world at present...
His parents, who had leaked the information back then, could be considered the root cause that indirectly led to Qian Xunji's death.
If his parents had not discovered Tang Hao's romance with a Soul Beast back then, none of what followed would have happened.
As their child, once his identity came to light, he would inevitably face rejection from Spirit Hall!
"Hiss... that damned crazy woman!!!"
Thinking of the consequences, Ye Han's hatred for Bibi Dong deepened further.
He had never imagined this crazy woman would act so deranged, so wicked.
But... I'm no pushover either. I can also give grounds for saying she killed Qian Xunji.
If she really does that, at worst I'll fight her until the fish dies and the net breaks. Why should I be afraid of her?!
"What's wrong?!"
Ling Yuan and Hu Liena knew nothing of this and asked in confusion.
"Ah... nothing, nothing!"
Ye Han shook his head, and his stomach growled at an inopportune moment:
"Grr~ grrr~~~"
Ye Han's little face reddened, and he hurriedly began wheedling in a childish voice:
"Sister Ling Yuan, senior sister Nana, I'm hungry, hungry~"
Both Ling Yuan and Hu Liena burst out laughing.
Ling Yuan hugged Ye Han tightly, giggling seductively:
"All right, be good. I'll take my dear husband to get something delicious right now~"
But the moment she said that, the silly smile on Hu Liena's face froze:
"D-dear husband?!"
Ling Yuan immediately realized her slip of the tongue and was instantly at a loss.
"Ah, well..."
Ye Han did not know what to do either, scratching his head as he tried to think of a solution.
Just then, the sound of an argument suddenly came from ahead.
Hearing the fierce argument up ahead, Ling Yuan hurriedly said:
"I... I'll go see what's happening up ahead."
"There's a restaurant nearby. You two go eat first. I'll come find you in a bit!"
Perhaps unsure how to face them after her slip of the tongue, Ling Yuan hurriedly found an excuse to leave.
"Hmph!"
Hu Liena gave a petulant huff and pulled Ye Han toward the restaurant ahead.
Brimming with jealousy, she kept pestering Ye Han to give her an explanation.
Ye Han was helpless too. He had no idea what excuse he could use to fool her anymore.
"Nana!!!"
Just as they were passing an alley, a shout suddenly rang out nearby.
They turned to look. It was none other than the simp Yan, along with Hu Liena's older brother, Xie Yue.
The simp Yan recognized Ye Han at a glance as the little brat from that day. Seeing him being so intimate with Hu Liena now, he instantly flew into a towering rage.
