Divine Seal: The little princess is vying and fighting to become the Demon Emperor.

Chapter 117 The Soul Saintess is Gone?

As for breaking through to the eighth rank, she herself didn't know what happened; she just broke through in a daze.

It seems that after dispelling the curse power that shrouded the Ten Thousand Beasts Pass, she easily broke through to the eighth rank.

If Feng Jing were still here, Chen Ying'er would know that the power that propelled her breakthrough was called merit.

In any case, Chen Ying'er is now a genuine eighth-tier level one.

Indeed, he truly deserves the title of Deputy Temple Master of the Soul Temple!

"The Temple of Souls has no more Saintesses???"

Bai Haochen, who rushed to the Temple of Souls, asked the question again, his tone full of shock!

Upon hearing the news that there was no Holy Maiden left in the Soul Temple, he immediately felt panicked and afraid, thinking that something had happened to Chen Ying'er.

He could still ask a question in return, but Yang Wenzhao, who heard this at the same time, felt as if the sky had fallen. His face turned deathly pale, and he seemed to have lost his soul in an instant, like a walking corpse.

“That’s right, since last month, our Temple of Souls has had no Holy Maiden.”

The summoner who came to greet Hao Caizhao and the other two answered truthfully, and there was even a hint of joy in his tone.

Upon hearing this answer again, Bai Haochen immediately looked at Yang Wenzhao, speaking in an extremely soft tone for fear of upsetting him.

"Brother Wenzhao, please calm down."

"Maybe it's a misunderstanding, maybe there's still a chance for things to turn around..."

Bai Haochen felt uncomfortable looking at Yang Wenzhao's pale face.

He considered Chen Ying'er a close friend and was already deeply saddened. Yang Wenzhao, who considered Chen Ying'er his beloved, must be utterly devastated at this moment.

Bai Haochen didn't even dare to think about what he would do if Sheng Cai'er were gone.

"Wait, how did the Soul Saintess disappear?"

Saint Cherrie sensed something was wrong and asked again.

Chen Ying'er is extremely important to the Ten Thousand Beasts Pass. She is someone the Ten Thousand Beasts Pass would protect at all costs. How could she disappear so easily?
"Just like that, it's gone?"

The summoner who was there to meet them was also a bit slow-witted and didn't immediately realize what was going on.

These words were undoubtedly another blow to Yang Wenzhao's already wounded heart.

With excruciating heart pain, Yang Wenzhao nearly coughed up blood.

Even so, he definitely doesn't look good.

"When did Ying'er sacrifice herself...?"

"Why...didn't you notify me?"

Yang Wenzhao struggled to suppress his grief and managed to squeeze out these two sentences, his voice extremely hoarse.

"what???"

His two sentences left the summoner completely bewildered.

But it also shows that this summoner is really not very bright; otherwise, upon hearing these words, he would have retaliated in a fit of rage.

"Who sacrificed their life???"

"Yang Wenzhao! Explain yourself clearly!"

"You were just hoping for my sacrifice, weren't you! Yang Wenzhao, you've really gone too far! I've been waiting for you all this time—"

Chen Ying'er's reaction, given her late arrival, is the normal one.

Upon hearing the news that a friend had come to the Soul Temple, Chen Ying'er immediately rushed over to greet him. However, upon arriving and hearing Yang Wenzhao's words, she immediately lost her composure.

However, Chen Ying'er's questioning voice immediately stopped when she saw Yang Wenzhao's pale face, and turned into undisguised worry.

"Yang Wenzhao, what's wrong?"

"Why do you look so pale? Are you injured? Let me see!"

"Yang Wenzhao..."

Chen Ying'er's anxious questions were swallowed up in a trembling embrace.

Upon seeing Chen Ying'er, Yang Wenzhao initially thought it was a hallucination, but his body reacted before his brain could process it, and he rushed over to hug Chen Ying'er tightly.

The only way is to rush towards him and embrace him.

Only then can he feel at ease.

"Yang Wenzhao, what's wrong?" Chen Ying'er asked worriedly as she reached out and hugged Yang Wenzhao back.

Feeling the light and soft touch in his arms and smelling the sweet scent of strawberries, Yang Wenzhao belatedly realized that this was not an illusion.

"Ying'er?"

"I'm here."

Chen Ying'er was puzzled. She found that she couldn't seem to get anything out of Yang Wenzhao, so she turned her inquisitive gaze to Bai Haochen and Sheng Cai'er.

The two men did not answer her, but instead said...

"Ying'er, hold him tight."

Chen Ying'er said that she had already hugged him tightly, and Yang Wenzhao had also hugged her very tightly.

However, it did have an effect; she could feel Yang Wenzhao gradually calming down.

“Sakura, he just said that the Temple of Souls no longer has a Holy Maiden.”

Yang Wenzhao pointed at the summoners watching the commotion and began to complain.

He felt extremely wronged and was still filled with lingering fear.

"He's right, isn't he?"

Chen Ying'er didn't react for a moment, but she quickly realized what Yang Wenzhao had said and his expression.

"Yang Wenzhao, you..."

At this moment, Chen Ying'er could only feel heartache.

"He said that because I am no longer the Soul Saintess, but the Vice Temple Master of the Soul Temple."

"That's why the Temple of Souls no longer has a Holy Maiden."

Her explanation completely dispelled Yang Wenzhao's unease.

When Yang Wenzhao realized it was all a misunderstanding, his face flushed red.

"Yang Wenzhao! Listen up!"

"I haven't even defeated you yet! There's no way I'd sacrifice myself!"

"I haven't fulfilled my marriage vows with you yet, and I certainly wouldn't sacrifice myself!"

"Did you hear me?!"

Yang Wenzhao nodded vigorously, but felt even more strongly that he was hallucinating.

"Oh, it seems that Cai'er and I will be attending two wedding banquets."

"One copy, congratulations Ying'er on becoming the Vice Temple Master of the Soul Temple."

"A gift to congratulate you and Brother Wenzhao..."

Upon discovering it was a false alarm, Bai Haochen joked and pulled Sheng Cai'er to ask Yang Wenzhao and Chen Ying'er for wedding wine.

"It's easy to talk about."

Seeing that Yang Wenzhao's mood had improved, Chen Ying'er couldn't help but crack a joke.

"What's wrong with you all? How could you think I've died?!"

“I am a favored one of the Beast Gods, a woman who wants to get rid of the title of ‘Deputy’ and become the Lord of the Soul Temple. How could I possibly sacrifice myself so easily?”

"I haven't yet rebuilt the Demon Hunter team with you all—"

Mentioning the Demon Hunters group immediately made Chen Ying'er's pretty face fall.

"Help, everyone!"

"I accidentally dug a hole for myself."

------

Chen Ying'er's strength.

I really feel that both the anime and the original novel have greatly weakened Chen Ying'er's strength.

Chen Ying'er and Hao Cai are both holy sons and daughters. Chen Ying'er is four or five years older than Hao Cai and has been cultivating for four or five years longer. Even if her talent is slightly inferior to theirs, it should be on par or slightly lower.

However, it's somewhat inappropriate that he's always been a whole rank lower than Hao Cai, and even consistently at the bottom of the rank within the team.

Therefore, in my opinion, a hardworking Chen Ying'er would only be slightly less powerful than the more powerful Hao Cai, and would firmly hold the third position.
