Douluo Dragon King: The Calamity of the Dead, Reviving Qian Renxue

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

The only sound was the rustling of the wind through the leaves.

Yuan Enhui stood there, stunned.

She looked at the golden behemoth that easily tore the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear apart, and then at the excessively handsome and composed boy beside it, unsure of how to react.

Until that gentle, clear young voice rang out.

Are you alright?

Yuan Enhui suddenly came to her senses, subconsciously suppressing all her emotions and reverting to her cold and unapproachable demeanor.

"It's alright. Thank you."

Her tone was concise, as if she hadn't just been rescued.

"That's good." Luo Yang nodded, his gaze lingering for a moment on the dark energy wings behind her, then sweeping over her pale yet exquisitely stubborn profile. He already had a pretty good idea of ​​her identity.

A Fallen Angel Martial Soul, possessing such cultivation and a cold, aloof aura at this age...

Who else could it be but Yuan En Ye Hui?

Just then, Yuanen Yehui's gaze finally couldn't help but fall back on the majestic and terrifying golden lion king.

Curiosity overcame her wariness, and after a moment's hesitation, she finally asked, "This... is your soul beast?"

She had never seen a "soul beast" of such form follow a soul master.

"It's not a soul beast."

Luo Yang smiled and naturally reached out to pat the Golden Lion King's head.

The latter seemed to be enjoying itself, making a contented purring sound in its throat and rubbing its head against his palm, showing none of the ferocity it had displayed when it instantly killed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

"This is my soul."

"A soul?!"

For the first time, a clear look of astonishment appeared in Yuan Enhui's usually indifferent black eyes.

A spirit? It looks like this?! Whose spirit can grow to four or five meters tall, its whole body glittering with golden light, with kingly markings on its forehead, and emanating an aura even more terrifying than a thousand-year-old spirit beast overlord?!

Whose spirit could possess such high intelligence and autonomous combat ability, defeating a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that had driven her to the brink of defeat in just a few moves?!

The spirits she had seen, whether her own or others', mostly accompanied the spirit master as energy phantoms or miniature forms, providing spirit ring skills.

At most, it can assist in attacks under the guidance of a Soul Master; it's nothing like a living, top-tier Soul Beast.

As if to confirm her shock, the Golden Lion King seemed to "understand" her doubts, turning its golden beast eyes toward her with a soft hum that seemed to say, "What's so strange about this?"

This set of spirits could actually understand her doubts?!

Is she really that intelligent?!

Yuan Enhui: "..."

"Perhaps... our souls are not quite the same." Luo Yang smiled slightly as he looked at her astonished expression.

This is beyond just being "not quite the same"; they're practically two different species!

Yuan En Hui: "..."

Amidst the shock, an indescribable sense of envy quietly welled up in my heart.

She subconsciously thought of her two spirits, and in comparison, they were like the difference between an ornament and a war fortress.

She craved power, and she also longed for such a reliable and powerful partner...

"You're also here at the Spirit Ascension Platform to increase the lifespan of your soul, right?" Luo Yang chuckled. "Judging from what happened earlier, there might be even stronger soul beasts deeper in here. Exploring alone is a bit dangerous, how about we go together?"

In the original work, Yuanen Yehui later became one of the Shrek Seven Devils, and her two martial souls were very strong.

They have immense future potential and are worth befriending as allies.

However, Yuan En Hui shook her head almost without hesitation: "Thank you. No need, I prefer to act alone."

She was used to being alone, used to not relying on anyone, and used to distrusting any sudden acts of "kindness".

"Don't be so aloof."

Luo Yang shrugged, still wearing a harmless smile.

"I don't have any hostility, I just want to make a friend and look out for each other. It's always safer to have more people in this Ascension Platform."

"I told you, I'm used to being alone." Yuan Enhui's tone was stiff, and she took a small step back warily, the illusory fallen angel wings behind her slightly folding.

Her intuition told her that this boy was not simple; his gaze seemed to penetrate her layers of disguise and see the secrets she did not want others to know.

The distance between the two people had unknowingly shrunk to less than two meters.

This distance is already considered a rather sensitive "critical distance" for Soul Masters.

Just as Yuan En Hui was considering turning around and leaving—

Luo Yang suddenly took another small step forward, almost entering her "safe zone".

He leaned slightly closer, his excessively handsome face drawing nearer, still wearing a smile.

Then, in a voice neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for the two of them to hear, he said softly:

"Speaking of which..."

"You don't want... your identity as an 'evil soul master' to be known by others, do you?"

"boom--!"

It was like a thunderclap that exploded in Yuanen Yehui's mind!

The sound of the wind, the rustling of leaves, the distant roars of beasts... all sounds faded away in that instant.

The world seemed to have been muted, leaving only the boy's light yet weighty words echoing repeatedly in her ears!

The identity of the evil spirit master... has been discovered by others...

Yuan Enhui's pupils suddenly contracted.

A bone-chilling cold shot up my spine and straight to the top of my head.

What followed was an overwhelming rage and... naked killing intent!

Her secret!

Her biggest secret is one that no one outside her closest family knows!

In the Douluo Continent, the Fallen Angel Martial Soul is considered an absolute symbol of an "evil Martial Soul"!

What will happen to her once she is exposed?

It is the relentless pursuit by law enforcement, the fear and contempt of the world, the endless hunt, the dark and hopeless prison, or even being "purified" and executed!

She has survived this long thanks to her family's secret protection and her own extreme caution. This secret is her bottom line for survival, and also the curse she carries!

And this person, having seen through her, was actually threatening her?!

Yuan Enhui suddenly raised his head, his always indifferent black eyes staring intently at Luoyang.

A murderous intent, like a tangible chill, surged forth from her body, and the fallen angel wings on her back suddenly solidified.

Immediately, the surrounding air temperature dropped sharply, and the light seemed to dim.

She almost lost control and wanted to completely erase the boy in front of her.

However, faced with her terrifying killing intent, which was enough to make even Soul Masters of the same level tremble with fear, Luo Yang merely blinked, as if looking at a kitten that was trying to bare its teeth but had no real threat.

"you say……"

Luo Yang's tone remained calm.

"If I were to leave the Spirit Ascension Platform now and immediately find the enforcement team of the Spirit Transfer Tower, and tell them there's a girl here whose martial soul is 'Fallen Angel'..."

He paused deliberately, admiring Yuan Enhui's increasingly pale and ferocious face.

"What if... someone soon storms in to 'apprehend the evil spirit'? And then you might spend the rest of your life in some dark, sunless place?"

Every word was like a cold dagger, precisely piercing the nerves that Yuan Enhui feared most.

Her chest rose and fell slightly, and her knuckles turned white from clenching her fists.

The murderous intent was almost breaking free of the restraints of reason!

"What... exactly do you want?!"

Yuan Enhui's voice was squeezed out from between his teeth, hoarse and full of hostility.

"If you're trying to threaten me with this, you'd better give up! I'd rather die than submit to a despicable bastard like you!"

The moment she finished speaking, the wings of the fallen angel on her back fully unfurled, a brilliant dark purple light shone forth, and a powerful aura of corruption and killing intent mixed together, forming a chilling pressure!

"roar--!"

The Golden Lion King immediately let out a low warning growl, took half a step forward, and locked its golden beast eyes onto Yuanen Yehui.

Tensions are high, and a conflict could erupt at any moment!
