Douluo Dragon King: My Martial Soul is Kamen Rider!

All she could do was reach out and embrace the lingering warmth in the air as he disappeared, trying to hold onto that last bit of tenderness. But at that moment, she didn't have enough power to keep him, nor could she hold onto that fleeting warmth.

"Hoo..." Leng Yaozhu let out a soft breath. When she came to her senses, her eyes were already wet with tears, blurring her vision. She raised her hand to rub her eyes, circulated her soul power, and quickly calmed her emotions. After a moment, she regained her usual calmness and composure.

It's time to get back to work; after all, I don't want to disappoint my past self.

Over the years, thanks to her painstaking efforts, the Leng family, which had once been in decline, has been revitalized and is now thriving, showing signs of a resurgence.

Now, she sits atop the Spirit Pagoda and has become the world-renowned Heavenly Phoenix Douluo. As a Limit Douluo, there are few beings in this world stronger than her, except for the gods.

The ambitions of the Qian Gu family were blatantly obvious. She understood that the Qian Gu family intended to create a dynasty similar to the ancient Spirit Hall, and through controlling the Spirit Pagoda, influence the entire world. She had no intention of letting the Qian Gu family have their way. This world existed because of him, and she would never allow anyone to harbor any improper thoughts about it.

Now, at the Spirit Pagoda, she used the Leng family's power and her own prestige to unite with various major families and try her best to curb the development of the Qian Gu family. Only after half of the families fought against the Qian Gu family could they vaguely achieve a 40/60 split. The Qian Gu family's foundation is still too strong.

Just then, the personal communication device on the table suddenly lit up and vibrated slightly. This was her private account, and very few people knew how to contact her. Putting aside her sister, who was always on the run and whose whereabouts were unknown, there were very few people in the Leng family who were qualified to appear in her private contact list.

Leng Yaozhu frowned, a hint of doubt rising in her heart. She thought of the people close to her, reached out and picked up the communication soul tool. The moment the screen lit up, the doubt in her eyes faded slightly.

The contact person was Yali.

She and Yali have been good friends for many years, having met a long time ago because of that person.

However, they have rarely kept in touch since that person left.

Every time they were together, the familiar yet strange atmosphere in the air would invariably remind them of that person and those times that could never be returned to. A surge of sadness would well up in their hearts. Rather than tormenting each other, they decided to reduce contact and wish each other well.

They had just met last week to pay their respects to that person, so they shouldn't have any contact now.

Suppressing her doubts, Leng Yaozhu tapped the phone to connect, her tone softening unconsciously, losing its usual sternness and becoming more intimate with her sister: "Sister Yali? Why are you calling me all of a sudden? What happened?"

From the other end of the line came Ya-Li's gentle yet mischievous laughter, her tone almost coquettish, carrying a strange undertone, as if concealing something: "It's nothing urgent, Yao-Zhu, guess why I'm calling you?"

Leng Yaozhu looked at Ya Li's appearance on the communication screen, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She could clearly sense that the pent-up emotions on Yali's body had completely vanished, replaced by a relaxed and smiling expression. She looked radiant and full of vitality.

She remembered that the last time she saw Yali so happy and radiant was when Yali recognized and adopted Na'er as her apprentice. At that time, Yali's eyes were full of tenderness, and she loved Na'er like her own daughter. Her smile never stopped.

"If you can't guess, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me." Leng Yaozhu smiled helplessly, her tone full of indulgence, completely lacking the coldness she showed when facing outsiders.

Ya Li smiled, her joking tone turning gentle yet serious: "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. I'd like to ask you for a favor: could you prepare three tickets for the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform? I plan to take two people in and help them with their spirit ascension."

"Three?" Leng Yaozhu was taken aback for a moment, then readily agreed, "No problem, it's a piece of cake. I'll have someone prepare them right away. When do you need them?"

"It will be ready in a week. Thank you so much, Yaozhu." Yali said with a smile, her voice full of gratitude.

"Why are you being so polite with me?" Leng Yaozhu waved her hand, gave a few more instructions, and then hung up the call.

Putting down the communication soul tool, Leng Yaozhu fell into deep thought, her curiosity growing stronger. Ya Li usually only had Na'er with her, but now she needed three tickets, clearly indicating an extra person. Moreover, the fact that Ya Li would specifically ask her to prepare tickets for the Spirit Ascension Platform and bring that person along for the ascension showed that that person held considerable importance in Ya Li's heart.

Leng Yaozhu knows Yali too well.

On the surface, Ya Li is kind and gentle to everyone, but that gentleness is mostly just her kindness in dealing with people. Most people can only get to the surface and find it difficult to truly enter her heart, let alone make her go to the trouble of preparing tickets for the Ascension Platform and personally taking her there for the Ascension.

Her inner gossip was instantly ignited, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on Leng Yaozhu's lips. She secretly made up her mind: she would definitely sneak over and see for herself, to join in the fun. Just what kind of person could make Ya Li value her so much, and could make her shed years of resentment and become so happy again?

However, upon further reflection, a hint of relief appeared in Leng Yaozhu's eyes. It was ultimately a good thing that Yali could emerge from the shadows of the past, regain her happiness, and no longer be bound by sadness.

She pressed the call button on the table, and soon her assistant entered respectfully: "Master, what are your orders?"

"Prepare three tickets for the intermediate-level Spirit Ascension Platform. We'll use them a week from now. Also, make arrangements so I can personally visit the Spirit Ascension Platform a week from now. Don't make a fuss about it," Leng Yaozhu instructed calmly and methodically.

"Yes, Tower Master, I'll take care of it right away." The assistant respectfully replied and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, after hanging up the call, Ya Li's smile remained, her eyes light and cheerful. She turned and walked to the living room, finding Zhou Yang reading a book by the window. Her voice was gentle: "Zhou Yang, the tickets for the Spirit Ascension Platform have been arranged. They're making preparations. We'll go to the Spirit Ascension Platform in a week."

Zhou Yang looked up, nodded, took out a black card, and handed it to Ya Li: "Thank you for your help, Senior Ya Li. This is some of my savings to pay for my expenses."

"You don't need to be so polite with me, I don't need that little bit of money." Ya Li was stunned for a moment, and an unusual expression of anger appeared on her face, completely unlike her usual gentle self. She was clearly dissatisfied with Zhou Yang's behavior. "I hope you can keep your money safe and use it for your future cultivation."

"But……"

"No buts. If you feel indebted to us, then cook us a few more meals. Na'er and I would love it."

"Okay." Seeing the serious look in Ya Li's eyes, Zhou Yang nodded and stopped being coy.

Seeing this, Ya Li finally smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to buy some daily necessities. You'll need them at Donghai Academy later, so you won't have to go through the trouble of buying them then."

Zhou Yang did not refuse and got up to follow Ya Li out of the courtyard.

Before I knew it, I had been here for almost a week, and I was gradually getting used to having this person by my side.

During the week they spent together, Ya Li used her quiet gentleness and affection to gradually close the distance between them. Zhou Yang didn't sense that Ya Li wanted to take anything out of him; she simply wanted to take care of him.

There was nothing to do with Shrek Academy, nor was there any intention to take on apprentices.

This gradually made him let go of his initial wariness and sense of unease, and he gradually got used to this sudden warmth.

Ya Li is very gentle and considerate, just like a virtuous wife and loving mother. Zhou Yang has had a very comfortable week. Apart from being bothered by a certain red-horned person at three times the speed, everything is so wonderful.
