Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Chapter 91: Teaching Zhang Lexuan How to Make a Soul Tool
Zhang Lexuan seemed to sense the gentle gaze behind her, slowed her pace slightly, turned to the side, and looked at Dai Yuntian: "What are you looking at?"

Anyone would be embarrassed if they were caught peeping.

Dai Yuntian was no exception. He scratched his head and gave a shy smile: "Senior Le Xuan, has anyone ever told you that you are very pretty?"

Hearing this, Zhang Lexuan was obviously a little surprised, and elegantly covered her mouth and chuckled: "Nonsense, junior brother has seen at least 800 to 1000 girls, and there are many who are prettier than me."

She clearly felt that Dai Yuntian was just being polite.

"What you're saying isn't right, senior."

Dai Yuntian smiled and shook his head, his tone becoming more serious: "There may be those who are more beautiful than you, but most of them lack a certain... unique charm that belongs to you."

A hint of curiosity, and even a touch of anticipation, flashed in Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes: "Oh? What kind of aura is it?"

"So elegant! I doubt any boy wouldn't admire or be attracted to a woman like you, senior."

Dai Yuntian praised sincerely.

Zhang Lexuan's eyes crinkled with delight at his unique praise, and she couldn't help but chuckle softly, playfully scolding, "You naughty boy! Junior, you're so young, yet you know how to make people happy."

This is the first time someone has praised her from this perspective.

No woman dislikes sincere praise, not even a woman of high status or outstanding ability.

However, this joy was quickly replaced by a faint sense of melancholy.

Zhang Lexuan changed the subject slightly, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes: "However, junior, you're wrong this time... There really are people who don't like me."

"Then he must be blind."

"maybe……"

Zhang Lexuan also didn't understand why the marriage contract that was arranged early on, and the figure that she had personally raised, were gradually fading away.

Is Tang Jia's girl really that charming?
As the two were talking, they entered a quiet room with elegant furnishings.

Zhang Lexuan took out a slightly rough-made silver-white bracelet from her storage soul tool and handed it over: "Junior, can you take a look at this soul tool shield for me? Why can't I activate it successfully?"

Dai Yuntian took the bracelet, examined it carefully, and suddenly frowned: "Senior, you've probably been scammed, haven't you? This is just a half-finished product, and even the inscription array is wrong..."

Zhang Lexuan pursed her lips slightly embarrassed: "Actually... I tried making this myself."

The atmosphere was awkward for a while.

Fortunately, Dai Yuntian reacted quickly and said, "Senior, actually this soul tool is quite good, look."

However, faced with a work that even the basic magic array was engraved incorrectly, even with his silver tongue, he didn't know how to continue halfway through his explanation.

Looking at how he tried to smooth things over.

Zhang Lexuan smiled in relief, reached out her slender hand, and gently ruffled the top of his head, the gesture natural and carrying a touch of sisterly intimacy.

"Alright, no need to comfort me. To tell you the truth, I taught myself how to use this soul tool on my own."

"Self-taught? Why would senior sister want to study soul tools?"

Dai Yuntian was somewhat surprised.

If someone can achieve this level of skill by self-studying soul tools, then they are truly very talented!
Zhang Lexuan remained silent for a moment, recalling the argument that had arisen at Shrek Academy when she wanted to learn about soul tools.

Since that soul beast hunting event a few years ago, although Dai Yuntian's reminders prevented most of the casualties, the palpitations of being on the verge of death still made her feel fear.

She dared not imagine how many students their Soul Hunting team would have lost if Dai Yuntian hadn't reminded them and Dean Yan hadn't come, due to Xuanzi's sudden departure!
From that moment on, Zhang Lexuan became acutely aware of this.

You must learn how to use soul tools, even if you don't learn how to make them.

Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, among others from the Soul Guidance Department, warmly welcomed the initiative, while the Martial Soul Department advocated for conservatism.

And then it was dropped.

Because the Soul Guidance Department was strictly forbidden from teaching Zhang Lexuan about soul tools, Zhang Lexuan could only try to learn on her own in private.

She ultimately didn't reveal these complicated reasons.

Seeing that she remained silent, Dai Yuntian stopped pressing her for details. Instead, he took out a set of exquisite carving knives from his waist, his eyes gleaming with confidence.

"Senior, I'll teach you how to 'turn lead into gold,' turning this half-finished product into a real treasure!"

The gloom in Zhang Lexuan's heart vanished, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips: "Okay! Then I'll have to trouble you, Teacher Dai." ...

Quiet room.

Dai Yuntian fixed the bracelet soul guide device onto a special bracket.

"Senior, look, the problem mainly lies in the connection of this energy circuit. Traditional inscription here will cause soul power blockage, like this..."

Dai Yuntian's hand movements as he manipulated the carving knife were slow and clear, striving to ensure that Zhang Lexuan could see every detail.

However, the inscription of the soul-guiding core array involves extremely subtle control of soul power.

Especially for beginners, it is extremely difficult to do it by simply looking at it.

Zhang Lexuan stared intently, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of confusion in her eyes.

She tried to simulate the trajectory of that arc and the intensity of the soul power injection in her mind, but she always felt that there was a veil between them, making it difficult to grasp its essence.

"This curve's transition... makes it seem difficult to control the stability of soul power output?"

Zhang Lexuan asked somewhat uncertainly.

Dai Yuntian noticed Zhang Lexuan's distress and pondered for a moment.

A simple explanation can be abstract, especially for technical tasks that require hands-on experience.

Dai Yuntian looked up at Zhang Lexuan with a sincere gaze: "Senior, just looking might not be intuitive enough. If you don't mind, I'll show you the trajectory and force of soul power circulation, how about that?"

Zhang Lexuan was slightly taken aback, but then she understood what he meant by "teaching step by step".

A faint blush crept up her ears, but she knew this was the fastest way to learn.

As someone who strives for the pinnacle of Soul Master, Zhang Lexuan naturally wouldn't be bothered by such trivial matters.

Besides, the other party is just a twelve-year-old child.

What bad thoughts could a child possibly have?

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, junior."

Dai Yuntian was taken aback when he saw Zhang Lexuan's outstretched hand, but then gently took it.

So soft, so small!
Zhang Lexuan's hands are very slender, soft and boneless, with warm and slightly cool skin.

"Senior, my apologies."

Dai Yuntian's deep voice was close to her ear, and the warmth of his breath brushed against her earlobe almost imperceptibly.

Zhang Lexuan's body stiffened for a moment.

Having spent most of her life in seclusion, she rarely had such close contact with men.

She could clearly feel the warm body temperature coming from behind her, as well as the steady and reassuring strength from the large hand that was wrapped around the back of her hand.

A blush crept onto Zhang Lexuan's cheeks.

"Relax, senior. When carving with soul guidance, your mind must be calm and your hands must be steady. I'll guide you through the correct rhythm of soul power and the force of your knife strokes."

Dai Yuntian adjusted his position, standing slightly behind Zhang Lexuan, forming a semi-circular posture.

At this distance, he could clearly smell the delicate fragrance emanating from Zhang Lexuan's hair and feel the warmth emanating from her body.

But this posture looks very strange to outsiders.

Even Zhang Lexuan felt a little awkward and whispered, "Junior...can we start now?"

"Okay, senior, I'm going to move now!"

"Mmm," Zhang Lexuan murmured softly.

As Dai Yuntian's hands began to move, this feeling became even stronger.

Zhang Lexuan could feel the warmth of his palm against the skin of the back of her hand, and her heart involuntarily quickened.
