Chapter 32: Xiang Xiang Naer: Zhao Xuanzhen is a stingy ghost, Mu Ye's Benti mini-classroom

The sky was clear and the clouds were light, and the years were quiet and good. Zhao Xuanzhen lay flat on the bed, and Gu Yue was meticulously applying medicine.

"Mm?"

Zhao Xuanzhen suddenly groaned softly.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just helping you relax."

Her plain hands pressed down on the shoulder blade that was trying to rise, Gu Yue said lightly. The medicinal fragrance seeping from the wound and the fresh fragrance wafting from the girl's collar intertwined into threads, weaving a large net from which he could not escape.

"Ding-a-ling—"

The soul guidance communicator rang at an inopportune time, interrupting Zhao Xuanzhen's thoughts. Gu Yue reached out and handed it over. On the soul guidance screen, the word "Teacher" was written prominently.

"Xuanzhen."

Pressing the answer button, Leng Yaoju's gentle and mature voice came through immediately. Hearing her voice, Zhao Xuanzhen couldn't help but reveal a smile.

"Are you used to Tiandingcheng?"

"Tiandingcheng is an ancient city of ten thousand years, and soul guidance technology is very advanced, so Teacher need not worry."

"That's good..."

Leng Yaoju paused for a second and asked in a low voice the question she cared about most: "When are you coming back to the Spirit Tower?"

Zhao Xuanzhen calculated the time and said, "We plan to stay in Tiandingcheng for a while longer and go back later, probably in two months."

The second awakening of the Benti Martial Soul takes at most forty-nine days, plus learning the Benti Sect's secret methods, so Zhao Xuanzhen extended it directly to two months, leaving ample room for operation.

"Mm, take care of yourself... Nothing else, I'm hanging up. Remember to report that you're safe every day."

"Okay, Teacher, take care and rest."

"Beep, beep, beep..."

The busy signal of the soul guidance communicator hung up came from his ear. Leng Yaoju supported her chin with her jade hand and sighed long and hard, like an empty-nester whose child had gone far away, only able to listen to his voice to comfort her soul.

For ten years, Zhao Xuanzhen had never left her. A day without seeing him was like three autumns, and she missed him dearly after just one day.

"Xuanzhen has been pampered since he was a child, raised on the tips of the hearts of me, Dabai, and Xiaobai..." Leng Yaoju said to herself.

"Suddenly arriving in Tiandingcheng, life is unfamiliar. Xiang Xiang Naer and Gu Yue are both young girls, and there is no one to take care of Xuanzhen by his side. How can he be used to it?

He must not be happy in his life; it's just a way to comfort me..."

Tiandingcheng Blacksmith Association, Zhao Xuanzhen lay on a warm and soft leg pillow, enjoying the supreme welfare that made otaku drool!

Gu Yue rubbed the sides of Zhao Xuanzhen's temples. Looking down from above, she could just appreciate that complete face, clear and handsome, with upright contours. The more she looked, the more she liked it, and the more she couldn't help but look a little longer.

Starlight-like spiritual light dissipated from the girl's pitch-black pupils, and the clear eyes rippled slightly, but gradually returned to calm. She said casually, as if chatting, "Ask a question: my leg pillow or Xiang Xiang Naer's shoulder pillow, which one do you like more?"

"The leg pillow leans toward touch, the shoulder pillow leans toward feeling, both are good."

Zhao Xuanzhen had rich experience in Tai Chi, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was Yin-Yang balance.

Gu Yue snorted softly, but she wasn't dissatisfied. Because Zhao Xuanzhen didn't indicate that Xiang Xiang Naer was better than her, this was already a kind of victory.

She only needed to leave a deep impression in his heart bit by bit, catch up with and surpass Xiang Xiang Naer in all aspects, and then find a suitable opportunity to make Xiang Xiang Naer understand that Zhao Xuanzhen had thrown himself into the arms of Queen Gu Yue and would no longer need her from now on.

Simultaneously obtaining Xiang Xiang Naer and Zhao Xuanzhen, Gu Yue would achieve a perfect accomplishment, incarnating into a complete version of the Silver Long Wang, and possessing the full support of Zhao Xuanzhen and the forces behind him. Controlling the Spirit Tower was just around the corner!

For the revival of the Soul Beast clan, Gu Yue didn't mind selling her looks, even if it meant giving Zhao Xuanzhen some more welfare, and she even had an illusion technique as a trump card!

"Whoosh—"

Immersed in the comfort of the girl's leg pillow, the breeze suddenly revealed the news that someone was approaching rapidly. Zhao Xuanzhen instantly made a preparatory move for a carp leap.

Gu Yue's reaction was astonishingly fast. She wittily guessed the reason for Zhao Xuanzhen's unusual movement and used all her strength to press him back down, taking advantage of his weakness to destroy his fantasy of struggling.

"Zhao Xuanzhen~ I'm coming in!"

Xiang Xiang Naer's energetic voice entered the room, and with a "hey," she pushed open the door, catching Zhao Xuanzhen with his head on Gu Yue's thigh on the spot. The way the two looked at each other was as ambiguous as it could be.

"You... you guys... this... this!"

The shock and anger in those silver eyes were almost tangible, and she wished she could bite a white handkerchief and shed tears.

"He's still a child!"

Xiang Xiang Naer pointed at the delicate young flower with a trembling voice, the silver-white light spitting in her eyes like a blade, almost piercing Gu Yue's chest.

I didn't even have the heart to eat the grass by the nest, and you've only known him for a few days, yet you're eating and taking!

Looking at Xiang Xiang Naer's gnashing teeth and broken defense, Gu Yue felt more and more that the path she chose was not wrong. She put on a winner's posture and sneered, "I'm just helping Xuanzhen apply medicine and massage... that's all!"

"Get off, can you massage properly? Let me do it!"

Xiang Xiang Naer rolled up her sleeves and rushed onto the bed, determined to snatch the innocent and simple Zhao Xuanzhen back from the hands of the bad woman!

"Go wait in line!"

How could Gu Yue be willing to abdicate? The two women fought for him, and Zhao Xuanzhen's head spun, the touch of every second being different.

To avoid being caught in the battle, he quickly sat to the side. The distance between the pretty faces of the two Silver Long Wang halves was less than a centimeter, big eyes staring at small eyes, pitch-black and silver-white flames soaring to the sky.

Two young girls fighting over something, Zhao Xuanzhen seemed to have seen this scene in his past life...

Mysterious number, activate!

After some fighting, they couldn't completely defeat each other, so they decided to calm the war and return to peaceful coexistence.

Xiang Xiang Naer held Zhao Xuanzhen's arm, glared at Gu Yue on the other side, and said, "Zhao Xiaodeng, explode some gold coins, I'm going shopping in Tiandingcheng this morning!"

"Ah, is this your attitude when asking for money?" Zhao Xuanzhen was shocked.

"You get three million a month, I get three thousand!"

Xiang Xiang Naer had the powerlessness of an excellent employee being locked in by an early contract, and complained, "Three thousand a month, including food and lodging. You tricked me into the Spirit Tower four years ago!"

"Three thousand a month, and you get tens of millions in miscellaneous payments every year. You don't take less than me."

Zhao Xuanzhen revealed the truth mercilessly: "You've truly forgotten your roots. Who was it that snuck into Shrek City at the age of seven, found the chicken-fork-bone boss, fifteen a catty, buy one get half free, and threw twenty million federal coins just to make him fry two million catties for you?

When Teacher and I rushed over, the boss was crying while frying chicken-fork-bones, and you were laughing heartlessly on the side, eating with great relish, and then you lost the right to keep your own pocket money."

Gu Yue glanced at Xiang Xiang Naer sideways, inexplicably feeling that having the same bloodline as a foodie was an extremely shameful thing.

Seeing that she couldn't get pocket money, Xiang Xiang Naer's eyes rolled around, and she said tearfully, "Zhao Xuanzhen, you stingy ghost!

... Forget it, may Zhao Xuanzhen live a long life."

The next second, a hand knife landed on Xiang Xiang Naer's head, the force just right, stunning her without hurting her brain.

Zhao Xuanzhen looked straight ahead, full of righteousness.

No one would be moved into thinking that Xiang Xiang Naer was kind-hearted and had paid without complaint!

In the fantasy world, "one hundred years old" is a roundabout way of cursing the prisoner!

Xiang Xiang Naer touched the bump on the top of her head, baring her teeth and said, "Medical expenses! Must pay medical expenses!"

Zhao Xuanzhen threw a black card over in annoyance: "Take a few guards when you go out to play."

"Got it." Xiang Xiang Naer said with a beaming face: "Oh, by the way, I happened to see Senior Mu Ye when I was looking for food in the small kitchen. He said it shouldn't be convenient to enter your room, so he asked me to call you for dinner."

Zhao Xuanzhen clicked his tongue. Mu Ye seemed to have misunderstood his noble character. Ten years old is not twenty years old; he didn't have the defect of being unable to suppress his evil fire!

When Zhao Xuanzhen disappeared from view, only the two girls remained in the room. Xiang Xiang Naer took the lead, glaring at Gu Yue, her silver teeth gnashing:

"Despicable, shameless, shameless!

Your intentions are known to everyone!"

Gu Yue raised her eyebrows, her tone contemptuous: "What are you talking about? I don't understand. I only know that there is a famous saying circulating in the Dragon clan!"

Opportunity is reserved for the dragon who is prepared!

The person you can't grasp should be grasped by me!"

"You... you broke the agreement!" Xiang Xiang Naer's silver eyes flashed, her expression a bit fierce but weak.

Gu Yue said without hesitation: "Our agreement is that I won't harm the humans you cherish like Zhao Xuanzhen, and I won't forcibly devour you before reaching the Limit Douluo, in exchange for forbidding you from interfering with everything I do in the Spirit Tower.

May I ask where I broke the agreement? Did I harm Zhao Xuanzhen?"

"..."

Xiang Xiang Naer's delicate body trembled with anger, but she couldn't say any words of rebuttal.

"If you have the time to trouble me, you might as well reflect on your own problems." Gu Yue said calmly.

"Humans are greedy and fickle, not worth the soul beasts paying with their feelings. The most correct thing for you to do is to merge with me and return to being the Silver Long Wang."

"I won't become the Silver Long Wang. You win this time."

Two clusters of flames ignited in Xiang Xiang Naer's eyes, and she slowly leaned close to Gu Yue's face. The two stunning faces reflected each other. She looked at the calm and indifferent black eyes and lowered her voice:

"But I seem to know what you want to do. You want to shake my humanity, right..."

"I am proving to you that human feelings are fragile and unbearable, and the humanity of the Silver Long Wang should not remain in the world."

Gu Yue didn't dodge. As she continued to contact and get close to Zhao Xuanzhen, Xiang Xiang Naer would sooner or later notice the clues.

This was originally a conspiracy. The person who tied the bell must untie it. Xiang Xiang Naer's humanity was raised by Zhao Xuanzhen, and it would inevitably be defeated by him. Gu Yue just wanted Xiang Xiang Naer to watch helplessly as Zhao Xuanzhen slowly moved away from her, and one day, he would be smiling and holding someone else.

In Gu Yue's ultimate vision, one day in the future, Xiang Xiang Naer would hide behind the wall, and she and Zhao Xuanzhen would be intimate on the sofa. At that time, she would deliberately ask, after we are together, what does Xiang Xiang Naer count as.

Zhao Xuanzhen's answer should be: She is my sister, the person I love has always been you.

Seeing the unnaturally excited flush on Gu Yue's face, Xiang Xiang Naer exhaled and said seriously, "Gu Yue, human feelings are like quicksand. If you are not careful, you will fall into them and never be able to climb out.

I advise you not to do anything stupid, lest you make a fake show real and truly fall in love with a human."

"Impossible!"

Hearing this, that handsome face suddenly flashed across her mind. Gu Yue shook her head, trying hard to clear it out, her expression firm:

"Love is a childish game for humans. I am the master of the Soul Beast clan, the supreme Silver Long Wang!

I, seal my heart and lock my love, never betray!"

Tiandingcheng Blacksmith Association, small kitchen.

Zhao Xuanzhen sat at the table waiting quietly, and Mu Ye carried a white porcelain plate to the table.

Inside the porcelain plate were three large shrimp curled up. The shrimp shells were as thin as cicada wings, and the whole body flowed with blood-red glazed luster. Looking closely, golden threads were faintly visible, and a drop of blood-colored dew condensed at the tip of the shrimp tail, rising with an exotic fragrance intertwined with freshness, sweetness, and sea salt, making one's index finger move.

"Blood Jade Shrimp, Senior Benti has spent a lot of money..." Zhao Xuanzhen said sincerely.

"Have you eaten it?" Mu Ye was stunned, then immediately reacted, "Forgot, you are the direct disciple of the Lady Tianfeng. Although the Blood Jade Shrimp is rare, the Vice Tower Master of the Spirit Tower still has a way to get it."

The Blood Jade Shrimp is the king of the Red Jade Shrimp, living in the Blood Sea Trench more than three thousand meters deep. Its blood essence is similar to that of humans and has always been the best tonic for body-refining Soul Masters.

Zhao Xuanzhen picked up the shrimp body with his fingers, and the heat exploded along his skin. His blood and energy vibrated spontaneously, showing the fierce effect of the Blood Jade Shrimp.

The shrimp meat trembled slightly, oozing pale golden pulp. The moment it entered his mouth, his tongue seemed to be wrapped in a deep-sea vortex, and his teeth pierced the elastic and glutinous meat. A sound like a tidal roar of blood flow suddenly rang in Zhao Xuanzhen's ears, and blood-red mist steamed between his breaths!

"The effect is not bad." Mu Ye nodded slightly, "The Blood Jade Shrimp is a top-grade Red Jade Shrimp. Its blood and energy are so thick that even if I gave it to Zhenhua, I would feel it's a bit of a waste, but it is very suitable for you."

The Benti Martial Soul family is one family. After seeing Zhao Xuanzhen's combat power with his own eyes last night, Mu Ye completely recognized his potential and future.

After three Blood Jade Shrimp went down, Zhao Xuanzhen's whole body was filled with rich blood and energy. Mu Ye pulled out a chair, sat opposite him, and said with a smile:

"Xuanzhen, this Sect Master will test you.

Tell me, what is a Benti Martial Soul?"

Zhao Xuanzhen pondered for a moment and said, "Our bloodline is different from ordinary Soul Masters."

"The bloodline theory of being born noble?"

Mu Ye frowned, clearly not a good answer.

"No, I am by no means a bloodline supremacist, nor do I believe that bloodlines can distinguish between high and low, noble and cheap. Bloodlines determine power, and power is not the benchmark for measuring things." Zhao Xuanzhen shook his head.

"The bloodline I refer to is very simple, the blood flowing in the blood vessels.

As everyone knows, the martial souls of Douluo Dalu are generally divided into two types: Beast Martial Souls and Tool Martial Souls. Beast Martial Souls have corresponding prototypes in the soul beast world. Assuming a Soul Master's martial soul is the Bright Holy Dragon, then his bloodline is actually the Bright Holy Dragon.

Among Tool Martial Souls, there are beast-tool martial souls, such as snake spears and dragon staves, and pure weapons, such as the Clear Sky Hammer and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

The cultivation of Beast Martial Souls and Beast-Tool Martial Souls uses soul beast bloodlines to make oneself constantly strong, but they also face side effects. When encountering a Soul Master with a stronger bloodline, their combat power will instantly drop linearly.

Pure Tool Soul Masters do not have the problem of bloodline suppression. They need to communicate with their tool martial souls, making themselves and their martial souls one, with their hearts and minds reaching the same goal.

The Benti Martial Soul is completely different from the two. The blood flowing in the body is pure human blood, ignoring the bloodline suppression of higher-level soul beasts.

At the same time, the martial soul is a part of the body. The innate compatibility of the Benti Martial Soul far exceeds other martial souls, making it easier for Benti Soul Masters to reach the same goal in heart and mind.

So I think the Benti Martial Soul is the most original martial soul of humans. The path of cultivation varies from person to person but leads to the same goal. To sum it up, it is nothing more than three words...

Be yourself."
