Chapter 131

After confirming the time with Tang San, Gu Xuan returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy with Ye Lingling, while Tang San took Meng Yiran to the Fine Iron Market to buy fine iron.

This line is actually the "We need to translate. Terms:..." and then provides translation. So we output that translation.

Tang San went to the Fine Iron Market to buy fine iron.

On the way, Ye Lingling linked arms with Gu Xuan, walking and asking: "What's a human-form soul beast? When did you catch a human-form rabbit? That's a 100,000-year soul beast!"

On the way, Ye Lingling linked arms with Gu Xuan, walking and asking: "What's a human-form soul beast? When did you catch a human-form rabbit? That's a 100,000-year soul beast!"

Gu Xuan smiled slightly at her words, rubbed Ye Lingling's head, and said softly: "When I obtained my fourth soul ring, it's already been four months, and it wasn't me who caught it; I just got lucky to encounter it."

This line is the terms and translation for 【10】? Actually it's the same translation. So we output the same translation.

Saying that, Gu Xuan lifted Ye Lingling's chin: "How about it? Do you have any ideas about this 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone?"

Hearing this, ordinary people would definitely not dare admit it, but Ye Lingling is different—she has already confirmed her relationship with Gu Xuan and even got engaged; plus, the curse of the Nine Heart Begonia has been lifted, removing her heart ailment, and she has basically regained the liveliness a girl should have.

"Yeah, the 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone are the ultimate treasure in the Soul Master world—oh wait, I meant second; heavenly-grade medicinal herbs are first."

"Yeah, the 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone are the ultimate treasure in the Soul Master world—oh wait, I meant second; heavenly-grade medicinal herbs are first."

"But even so, who wouldn't want to possess a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone?"

"But even so, who wouldn't want to possess a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone?"

Ye Lingling paused, gave Gu Xuan a sly look, and said: "How come? I'm already your fiancée; aren't you thinking about finding me a 100,000-year soul ring in the future?"

Ye Lingling paused, gave Gu Xuan a sly look, and said: "How come? I'm already your fiancée; aren't you thinking about finding me a 100,000-year soul ring in the future?"

Seeing Ye Lingling's expression, Gu Xuan shook his head with a chuckle, pinched her cheek, and said softly: "Little trickster, I'll definitely get you one later."

But upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, Ye Lingling waved her hand: "Forget it; 100,000-year soul beasts are too rare. If you get the chance, give it to me; otherwise, if your strength isn't enough later, how will you protect me and Sister Yan?"

Hearing that, Gu Xuan smiled helplessly; this girl, so sensible!

Returning to the academy, Gu Xuan and Ye Lingling went straight back to the villa; Yu Tianheng and the others are still training in the training hall, and that cat girl has already been sent to Ye Lingling's room in the villa.

At this moment, she wasn't in a cage—this was Gu Xuan's instruction—but to prevent her from escaping, an iron chain was fastened around her neck, with one end tied to a pillar.

When Ye Lingling entered the room and saw this scene, her heart felt as if something had pricked it, and then she looked toward Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan gave a slight nod, rubbed Ye Lingling's head, and then stepped forward.

From the moment Gu Xuan and Ye Lingling entered the room, the cat girl became alert, and her body kept trembling—this was her fear of the unknown.

Gu Xuan walked toward the cat girl and said softly: "Don't be afraid; we won't hurt you."

Gu Xuan walked toward the cat girl and said softly: "Don't be afraid; we won't hurt you."

Gu Xuan's words gave others a feeling like a spring breeze, but for the cat girl, it was not.

Gu Xuan's words gave others a feeling like a spring breeze, but for the cat girl, it was not.

She kept backing away, her body trembling more violently: "Don't… don't come over…"

No named entities. So translation: "She kept backing away, her trembling intensifying: 'No… don't come over…'"

The cat girl's voice was as faint as a mosquito, trembling as she said these words.

No named entities. So translation: "The cat girl's voice was as thin as a mosquito, trembling as she spoke those few words."

Gu Xuan sighed at the cat girl's state, ignoring her resistance and directly pulled her to his front; the cat girl lowered her head, daring not to move at all—since her martial soul awakening, she had been treated as a pet, and she naturally fears humans.

Thus, seeing Gu Xuan use force, she didn't dare resist at all, merely trembling there, a pitiful figure left to be disposed of, evoking pity.

Gu Xuan's hands turned into silver-white bone claws, and he directly snapped the iron chain around the cat girl's neck.

Feeling the restraint on her neck gone, the cat girl, somewhat fearful, lifted her head and looked at Gu Xuan, bewildered.

Gu Xuan spoke again: "I know you've received professional training since childhood and can understand my meaning, but you don't need to worry—I have no designs on you; from now on you will be Lingling's maid, responsible for her daily life and protection."

Hearing Gu Xuan's words, the cat girl's eyes flashed with disbelief, for since childhood she had been educated to serve those nobles and ultimately become their caged bird……

Now……… she couldn't quite figure out this man's intentions, compared to the shocking hatred and disgusting men she had seen before, this young man before her was clearly the top-tier in appearance she had ever seen; serving such a man would definitely be better than serving others.

No named entities. So translation: "Now…… she couldn't quite figure out this man's tactics; compared to the shocking, hateful, and disgusting men she had seen before, this young man before her was clearly the most top-tier in appearance she had ever seen, and serving such a man would surely be much better than serving others."

Just……… maid?

No named entities. So translation: "But…… a maid?"

The cat girl looked toward Ye Lingling; this girl is very kind, something she could directly sense from Ye Lingling.

She dared not defy Gu Xuan, clasping her hands before her lower abdomen, bending her knees slightly in a respectful salute: "Yes, master."

Hearing that title, Gu Xuan wasn't surprised, for it's normal on the Douluo Continent.

Then Gu Xuan reached out and grabbed the cat girl's wrist; she instinctively flinched and wanted to pull away, but now she belonged to Gu Xuan, so she didn't dare……

Gu Xuan merely held her wrist for three seconds, then released it.

After releasing the cat girl's wrist, Gu Xuan said: "Twelve years old, soul power rank eighteen, your talent is not low; what is your innate soul power rank?"

The cat girl stared, just like that it's over?

No named entities. So translation: "The cat girl stared, 'Is that it?'"

The cat girl stared, just like that it's over?

No named entities. So translation: "But she didn't dare hesitate, her voice tinged with fear and humility: 'Seven.'"

But she didn't dare hesitate, her voice filled with fear and humility: "Seven."

Hearing this soul power rank, Gu Xuan gave a slight nod; this innate soul power is already not low, but the noble class of the Douluo Continent has become corrupt—in their eyes, those who mutated into humans upon martial soul awakening are no longer considered human, but rather novel playthings……

This is also why this cat girl, despite her talent, ended up as a plaything.

No named entities. So translation: "This is also why this cat girl, despite her good talent, has ended up as a plaything."

"Do you have a name?"

No named entities. So translation: "\"Do you have a name? \""

"Xiao Qi."

No named entities. So translation: "\"Xiao Qi. \""

Upon hearing that, Gu Xuan nodded and then said: "Forget that name; likewise forget your past experiences. From now on, your life will be free from the suffering you endured. Since your martial soul is a cat, I'll call you Gu Miao."

"Thank you, master, for bestowing my name." Gu Miao bowed deeply.

At this moment she still found it hard to believe, even worrying that this was someone else's new trick.

Then Gu Xuan said to Ye Lingling: "Lingling, from now on she'll stay by your side; you take care of her for a while."

Then Gu Xuan said to Ye Lingling: "Lingling, from now on she'll stay by your side; you take care of her for a while."

Ye Lingling naturally had no objection; moreover, Du Gu Yan has left, and at the academy she lacks a close female companion, so Gu Miao is just right to keep her company.

"I'll head out first; you help her change clothes." Gu Xuan said and then left Ye Lingling's room.

Gu Miao's appearance is not bad, her figure is also excellent, and her current attire is enough to make blood boil; Gu Xuan averts his eyes to stay pure.

Leaving the room, Gu Xuan thought about taking Tang San to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect tomorrow; he wasn't sure whether Tang Hao was guarding Tang San's side now, otherwise he could go near Holy Soul Village to search for the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone hidden by Tang Hao.

As for killing Tang San, Gu Xuan had considered that before, but now he doesn't want to, because Tang San being alive can draw the attention of the Spirit Hall, after all he possesses twin martial souls.

Of course, most importantly, Tang San now can't make any waves, and his foundation has basically been ruined halfway; we won't discuss the future, but at least for now he lacks the strength to affect me.

Moreover, in Tang San's eyes, Gu Xuan is currently a great benefactor, with many points to exploit in the future.

If possible, being able to trick out the Tang Sect's techniques and the Hundred Solutions of Hidden Weapons would be even better.

Moreover, keeping Tang San around could still provide me with free labor to craft hidden weapons for the direct disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect—why not?
