Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 93 - Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui

The old man was overjoyed upon seeing this and hurriedly increased the flow of his soul power. With the help of the methods of clearing and draining, the blood energy on the black-robed woman's body completely subsided in no time.

"Xiaoyao, what's wrong?" The black-robed woman's voice was magnetic, slightly hoarse, yet possessed a unique charm that easily drew people in, inspiring feelings of closeness and even reverence.

With the intervention of external forces, the blood energy in her body was brought under control, and her mind returned to clarity. She let out a long sigh, smiled dejectedly, and grabbed Long Xiaoyao's hand tightly as he was channeling his energy into her. She exclaimed in surprise, "This time, how come the blood energy receded so quickly..."

"Then we'll have to ask that little fellow." The old man raised his hand and used his soul power to push open the tightly closed door, transmitting his voice to the outside, "Little girl, come in!"

Just a few breaths later, a pale-faced, bright-looking young woman walked into the dark passage. As soon as she entered, she bowed to the two people in the room and said in a deep voice, "Junior Lingyun greets the Supreme Master and the Supreme Elder."

"No need for formalities," the woman in black robes breathed a sigh of relief, gesturing to the bench beneath her. "Come and sit down!"

"Thank you, Supreme Master." Qian Lingyun tried her best to ensure that her manners were impeccable, and sat down next to Ye Xishui with grace and poise.

Whenever she had to act like a good girl, Qian Lingyun would thank Qian Renxue for the years of guidance she had received.

Qian Renxue successfully balanced cultivation and daily life, ensuring that Qian Lingyun became a new-era female soul master who could both fight and be displayed in public...

"Girl, you're new to the sect, right?!" Ye Xishui asked softly, the long-lost gentleness in her eyes making Long Xiaoyao feel as if he had returned to a hundred years ago...

"Yes, this is my first time at headquarters!" Qian Lingyun answered honestly, but her reserved demeanor made Ye Xishui frown.

"Hmm, I don't like young people who act like little adults. I prefer someone more lively, so I can see what I look like when I'm young. Be more lively," Ye Xishui commanded in a cold voice.

"Really? Is it really possible?" Qian Lingyun stuck out her tongue and looked at the two of them in surprise.

After receiving Ye Xishui's approval, she took a deep breath and seamlessly switched between the obedient girl and the delinquent girl.

She simply swept her hair back, pulled up her collar, and tied it into a high ponytail with a hair tie. Leaning back lazily in her chair, she chuckled and said, "How is it? Is this what you wanted?"

"Hmm!" Ye Xishui nodded with some delight, using her long, slender, hook-like fingernails to lift Qian Lingyun's chin, and said with emotion, "Not bad, you have some of my former charm."

"Oh, not at all. I'm just an ordinary person, nothing compared to the unparalleled elegance of the Supreme Master," Qian Lingyun said with a smile, scratching her head.

"Haha, you know how to please me, girl."

After laughing, Ye Xishui's expression became much more serious. She stared coldly into Qian Lingyun's eyes and asked, "What happened just now? Why did my blood energy suddenly drop so much? Did you do it?"

"Um, I guess so!" Qian Lingyun thought for a moment, then admitted it directly. After all, lying in front of two Limit Douluos was practically tantamount to suicide...

"Xi Shui, you scared her, little girl. Tell me, how did you do it?" Long Xiaoyao gently patted Ye Xi Shui's shoulder and said softly, "Don't get angry."

Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui are indeed a perfect match; they can even skillfully play the good cop/bad cop role under such circumstances.

"My martial spirit can improve itself by absorbing resentment and evil energy. The evil energy just now was just a large amount for me. I can digest it in less than ten days or half a month," Qian Lingyun explained honestly. She even forced out some of the blood-colored resentment energy from her body and then absorbed it back in front of the two of them.

"What?!" Long Xiaoyao was slightly taken aback, and exclaimed in astonishment, "I've seen quite a few martial souls that absorb resentment, but this is the first time I've seen one like you. Could you be the Rakshasa Saintess that the old necromancer predicted?!"

"Hmm," Qian Lingyun nodded, neither humble nor arrogant, "It seems...it really is..."

"Hahaha, interesting, interesting! Girl, release your martial spirit so I can see it. What Zhongli the old ghost waited his whole life for, I've finally seen!" Ye Xishui, never one to miss a good show, pulled Qian Lingyun over and encouraged her.

"Don't worry, as long as your talent is genuine, you can stay by my side. In the future, I will train you to become the top Soul Master and Soul Instructor in the Douluo Continent."

"Then...then I'll begin." Qian Lingyun excitedly licked her lips, thinking to herself, [I've been waiting for you to say this. Now that you've spoken, things will be much easier for me from now on.]

After speaking, Qian Lingyun took a step to the side and released her martial soul. A charming phantom of a fallen angel condensed behind her, and under its influence, all the evil soul masters in the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters could feel the pressure from the origin of their martial souls.

Perhaps because it had just absorbed a large amount of bloody resentment, the originally dark purple wings of the fallen angel were now surrounded by a dense red glow.

Five soul rings, four black and one red, undulated around Qian Lingyun's body before falling one by one from above her head. Leaving aside the absurdity of the soul rings, just judging from the unique aura of her martial soul, the quality of Qian Lingyun's martial soul had already surpassed Ye Xishui's own Blood Soul Demon Puppet martial soul, and even Zhongli Wu's Death God Demon Lord martial soul was far inferior to it.

Long Xiaoyao, standing to the side, also narrowed his eyes slightly. With his discerning eye, he could naturally see the extraordinary nature of this martial soul. He murmured, "It's actually the ultimate... Evil?"

"Excellent, truly the epitome of evil! Truly worthy of the title of Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult!" Ye Xishui stood up, laughing wildly. She pulled Qian Lingyun up from the bench and asked, "Lingyun, would you be willing to cultivate with me?"

"It is my great honor!" Qian Lingyun said with a smile, bowing to Ye Xishui. She was about to kneel down to perform the apprenticeship ceremony when Ye Xishui supported her.

"Um... what's this?" Qian Lingyun looked at Ye Xishui with a puzzled expression, her small eyes filled with a big question mark.

"Don't rush. Although you've proven your talent, becoming my disciple isn't that simple. I've prepared a test for you!" Ye Xishui smiled slightly, pinching Qian Lingyun's cheek with her fingernail, and asked, "So, are you brave enough to accept this test?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Qian Lingyun said proudly, head held high. "I want to see just how terrifying this test really is!"

"Hmph! You'll find out then!" Ye Xishui tugged at Long Xiaoyao's sleeve mysteriously, saying, "Come with me to open the Prison of the Dead!"

"The Prison of Death? That forbidden area that only those with a seventh ring or higher can enter!" Long Xiaoyao's eyes widened as he looked at Qian Lingyun anxiously and said, "Xi Shui, this girl is only at the fifth ring level, and you're sending her to that place? You're not..."

"I know what I'm doing." Ye Xishui glanced coldly at Long Xiaoyao and said with dissatisfaction, "She can even absorb my resentment, how could she possibly perish in a place like that? The sooner she goes to that kind of place, the better. I went to the Sixth Ring Road myself, and my students can't be worse than me!"

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyao calmed down a bit.

Yes! Qian Lingyun can even absorb resentment at the level of Ye Xishui, so going to that place shouldn't be too dangerous. But he still looked at Qian Lingyun with some pity and transmitted his voice, "Going to that place, good luck to you!"
