Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 167 Story
Looking up, there was no trace of morning or dusk around me, and there was no trace of Orange. I was standing in the air above the sea. Behind me, the fishing village had become very small and almost invisible.

Only a melodious song kept coming from the depths of the ocean, making people want to follow the song.

Lin Xiao bit his tongue, and dazzling light flashed all over his body. The soul guide propulsion device carried his body backward rapidly.

The singing that came from far away gradually stopped, and then a light laugh sounded in Lin Xiao's ears. It sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had encountered it before.

Lin Xiao did not dare to be careless and had no intention of looking back. He only breathed a sigh of relief when his feet touched the ground again.

"Teacher, did you hear that voice just now?"

I called out softly in my heart, but after a long time, Alex did not respond.

"Teacher, teacher?"

Lin Xiao was startled and his consciousness quickly sank into the sea of ​​​​spiritual consciousness. However, when he opened his eyes again, what he saw before him was not his sea of ​​​​spiritual consciousness, but an unfamiliar house.

Orange was looking up at him, and the young man from before was also standing beside him with a concerned look on his face.

Lin Xiao quickly came to his senses, the sound of his heartbeat in his chest was clearly audible. He calmed his breathing slightly and then remembered that he and Juzi were living in the young man's house.

"Are you having a nightmare?" Orange raised his hand and waved gently in front of Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao didn't say anything, but frowned and called softly in his heart, "Teacher?"

"Were you in danger just now?"

Hearing Electrolux's old voice again, Lin Xiao felt a little relieved.

"Yes, teacher, what just happened?"

"It should be a method of affecting the mind." Eleks paused. "What did you just encounter?"

"I seemed to have had a dream." Lin Xiao recalled carefully. Ever since Sleepy Nightmare Douluo died at his hands, he hadn't fallen into a dream as quietly as he did now.

"It shouldn't be just a dream." Alex sighed softly, "It has affected your mind and even your soul. Fortunately, you broke free from its control just when I was about to wake you."

"It was also a stroke of luck. Just now, when I was confused by it, I felt a breath of death, which brought me back to my senses."

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes, recalling what had just happened. Although it seemed like a dream, the spirit power in his body was not calm. The coldness under his feet had not completely subsided. He felt as if he had really walked on the sea.

And that faint melody...

"Teacher, did you hear any singing just now?"

"Singing? Not really."

Is it because Ilex's status is too high that he is not affected, or...

Lin Xiao's face looked a little ugly, and he looked up at the other two people in the room.

Or is it that only I can hear it?

Just as Lin Xiao was thinking, Ju Zi waved her hand in front of him again, "You haven't woken up yet?"

Lin Xiao came back to his senses and looked at her. "It's okay, I just had a dream. By the way, what time is it now?"

"At this time..." the young man glanced at the sky, "It will be dawn soon."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao looked out the window. The sun hadn't risen yet, but he could already see the situation outside clearly. Turning his gaze back, Lin Xiao took out a gold soul coin and placed it on the table. "Thank you, sir."

"No, no." The young man waved his hands repeatedly.

"It's just a gold soul coin, so you might as well take it. By the way, when I came here before, I saw some frozen-dried sea fish in the yard. Does the young man usually go out to sea?"

Lin Xiao pushed the gold soul coin on the table forward.

"Alas, most of us here rely on going out to sea for a living, barely enough to live on."

"So, are there any taboos?"

"Taboo?" The young man thought for a moment, "It's probably just words like 'sink' or 'turn over'."

The young man subconsciously glanced towards the inner room as he spoke. Seeing that his grandmother was still asleep and hadn't heard him, he breathed a sigh of relief. "But I've never been very sensitive about these things. Even the sea god at home was someone my grandmother asked me to worship."

"Are there any taboos related to 'singing'?"

"This..." The young man suddenly laughed, "You must have heard the legends on the seaside. Those were the stories my grandma used to scare me when I was a child."

"They say there are sirens in the sea who use their singing to steal the souls of children. But I've never encountered one in all my sea voyages. They're just scare children away from drowning, so they tell them to stay away from the water."

"So that's how it is." Lin Xiao nodded with a smile and stood up.

"Thank you for disturbing us last night. We'll be leaving now."

"You're welcome, but you two are both soul masters, and there's no food to take out at home..."

"It's okay." Lin Xiao waved his hand and walked out first.

The young man accompanied them all the way until Lin Xiao and the other person left the village, then he turned and left.

"Did you dream about someone singing last night?"

Without the shelter of the wall outside the village, the sea breeze from afar blew directly towards the two of them. As Orange spoke, he wrapped his clothes around himself.

"Almost." Lin Xiao nodded, recalling the scene where he couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream. He didn't continue discussing with Orange, "Where are you going today?"

"You took me away so abruptly, but you didn't even decide where to go?" Juzi smiled at Lin Xiao, seemingly having forgotten what happened last night. "Would you like to accompany me for a stroll along the beach?"

Lin Xiao was slightly dazed after hearing this, then shook his head. "This sea is a little strange. I don't know if it's because of the sea soul beasts in it or something else. It's better to stay away from here as much as possible."

Being able to brush past death without even noticing it, Lin Xiao had become alert to this place, and that was also the reason why he hurriedly took Orange away.

Even if I want to figure out what happened here, that is something I need to consider when I reach a higher level of cultivation in the future.

"Okay, then let's go somewhere else." Orange knew the importance of the matter.

When she woke up this morning, Lin Xiao was still frowning as if he was meditating. He didn't open his eyes until the young man came out of the room.

She thought something had gone wrong with Lin Xiao's practice, and she didn't feel relieved until he woke up.

Although she didn't know what exactly happened, she knew that Lin Xiao had his reasons for taking her away.

When the sun rose completely, the two had already put on their flying soul guides and left. Lin Xiao occasionally looked back, feeling a little uneasy, but the thing in the sea did not make any other movements. It seemed as if what happened last night was just a coincidence.
