Translation: "As a female member of the Spirit Hall, Bo Gang firmly believed in the teachings of Pope Bibi Dong—how could women possibly be wrong; if wrong, it was only because men forced them into error."

Translation: "So at this life-and-death moment, what Bo Gang thought of was not a lightning-fast kneeling to apologize for her arrogance and rudeness; instead she brandished the banner that her grandfather was a bishop of the Spirit Hall."

Translation: "\"first soul skill, Divine Stride Technique. \""

"【64】 Although Bai Ran is currently in the Imperial Flag state, belonging to the auxiliary spirit master type,"

We need to keep numbers exactly. Translation: "Currently Bai Ran's soul power level is 48, and the speed attribute increase has reached a terrifying 226%; even if an agility-attack system soul master uses the third or fourth soul skill for speed boost, they can only reach 100%, which is a treatment only top-tier martial spirits have."

Translation: "Although Bai Ran is now in the Human Emperor Banner state, belonging to the auxiliary system soul master type,"

"【70】 Even if he can't match a high-speed Spirit Sect, chasing a small carriage is still a trivial matter."

"【73】 Thirty seconds later, he began to clean up the aftermath."

Translation: "Even if he can't match a high-level Soul Ancestor of the agility-attack system, chasing after you in a small carriage is just a trivial matter."

"……"

Translation: "……" (ellipsis stays same).

"【97】 The Myriad Souls Banner, however, favors human

Translation: "(Human Emperor Banner, it likes to devour soul beast energy because it bears the heavy responsibility of guarding humanity, and between humans and soul beasts, from top to bottom they are mortal enemies."

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner is fond of human souls; if it doesn't refine tens of thousands, the flagpole feels itchy. You say tens of thousands is too few? But that's just the number I refined yesterday. Bai Ran sometimes finds it strange—how can the utmost yang and righteous Imperial Banner coexist with the utmost yin and dark Ten Thousand Souls Banner?

We need to keep parentheses and quotes. Let's translate: "The Myriad Souls Banner, however, favors human essences; if it doesn't refine tens of thousands of people, it feels the flagpole itchy. You say tens of thousands is too few? But that's just the number I refined yesterday.) Bai Ran sometimes finds it strange: how can the utmost yang and utmost yin Human Emperor Banner coexist with the utmost yin and utmost dark Myriad Souls Banner?"

【105】

Well, this feeling is just like how, on the present Douluo Continent, members of the Angel family can fall in love with fallen evil soul masters.

Translation: "Um, this feeling is like how on the current Douluo Continent, members of the Angel clan can fall in love with fallen evil soul masters."

【111】

Translation: "It's completely just the fantasy of a fallen one facing angelic judgment at the brink of death."

Seeing the Ten Thousand Souls Banner so excited at the sight of corpses,

Translation: "Seeing the Myriad Souls Banner so excited about the corpses,"

【117】

Translation: "Bai Ran, finding handling corpses troublesome, directly switched his martial spirit to the white flag state. Only seeing the Myriad Souls Banner make a slight move, its powerful suction instantly absorbed these three corpses."

"Wait, you eat corpses—doesn't that mean I'm eating corpses too?"

Translation: "\"Wait, you eat corpses, doesn't that mean I eat corpses? \""

【123】

Translation: "Thinking that the martial spirit and oneself are originally one."

Bai Ran suddenly regretted believing the Ten Thousand Souls Banner's nonsense,

Translation: "Bai Ran suddenly regretted believing the Myriad Souls Banner's nonsense,"

【129】

Translation: "Even extreme fallen ones usually just absorb others' blood."

But does it directly eat people, or swallow them alive? Looking across the Douluo Continent, only soul beasts could do such a thing.

Translation: "But to directly eat people, or swallow them alive? Looking across the Douluo Continent, only soul beasts could do that."

【135】

Translation: "\"Myriad Souls Banner: What's this female toilet smell? Report eating. \""

The Ten Thousand Souls Banner ignored Bai Ran's complaints; after devouring its fill, it issued a negative review and then severed its consciousness link with the banner's master.

Translation: "The Myriad Souls Banner ignored Bai Ran's complaints; after finishing consumption, it gave a negative review and then cut off consciousness communication with the banner master."

"……"

【144】

Translation: "After such an incident, continuing to walk slowly with the carriage is obviously impossible."

After cleaning up the traces on the spot.

【147】

(As for the coachman who escorted Bai Ran all the way and that Soul King guard, Bai Ran didn't kill them, but to prevent the news from leaking, Bai Ran fed them the oath grass; after consuming this herb, they cannot violate the oath they have sworn, and any soul master with a soul power level below 70 will die on the spot.

We need to keep parentheses. Translation: "(As for the coachman who escorted Bai Ran all the way and that Soul King guard, Bai Ran didn't kill them; however, to prevent news leakage, Bai Ran fed them the oath grass. After consuming this herb, they cannot violate the oath they made; any soul master with soul power level below 70 will die on the spot.)"

【153】

Translation: "This herb is one of the poisons cultivated by Du Gu Bo; unfortunately, its effect seems too feeble in Du Gu Bo's view—not to mention soul masters below level seventy, even those above seventy but below Title Douluo, in his eyes are something that a mouthful of spit could kill, making it utterly unnecessary to go through this trouble."

Furthermore, the oath must be spoken exactly as the words appear on the oath grass; using it to set up a scheme would almost certainly be exposed at a glance.) Bai Ran grabbed a map and set off for the Fasno Province.

Translation: "Furthermore, the oath must be spoken exactly as the words appear on the oath grass; using it for a scheme would almost certainly be seen through at a glance.) Bai Ran took up a map and headed for the Fasno Province."

One day later, in the Black Bishop's room inside the Spirit Hall's main hall of the Holy Spirit Kingdom.

Translation: "One day later, in the Silweis Kingdom, inside the Spirit Hall's main hall, in the Black-robed Bishop's room."

【168】

Translation: "\"Biers, where is my precious granddaughter? She hasn't returned yet, has she? \""

The Black Bishop checked the time—it's been a full day; by rights his granddaughter should have been back last night—maybe she's found a little boyfriend and is out having fun.

Translation: "The Black-robed Bishop checked the time; it's been a day, and logically his granddaughter should have returned last night—could it be she found a little boyfriend and is out having fun?"

??? Actually after 【168】 there is no more lines in the block. But we have 【173】 etc earlier? Wait we had 【173】 earlier as part of the quoted speech? No.

(Dare to drive a tank? He's a warrior) "Reply to Lord Bolabi, there's no news, and the Soul King guard responsible for protecting the lady also cannot be contacted."

【177】

Translation: "His subordinates knew the lady's status in the bishop's heart, so they dared not voice the suspicion that the lady might be dead."

You should know, this bishop dotes on his granddaughter to the extreme—any tasty food, drink, or amusement she wants, he can satisfy.

Translation: "You should know, this bishop dotes on his granddaughter to the utmost, providing all kinds of delicious food, drink, and fun; as long as the lady wants something, this adult can satisfy it."

Translation: "Moreover, regarding the lady's figure, the bishop once said: \"Girls look better when they're fair and plump; my little lady like this is more likely to attract boys. \""

And the carriage driver?

The carriage driver is an old man who has followed him for over ten years, and also watched his granddaughter grow up from childhood.

So Bolabi also felt reassured letting him drive the carriage for his granddaughter.

Hmm, actually there were previously young carriage drivers assigned; the ugly ones were said by the granddaughter to harass her (and got chopped), the handsome or ordinary ones were discovered by him to have an affair with her (and also got the driver chopped).

Thus, I had to trouble the old partner who used to drive my carriage.

Actually that old partner also has a habit: no matter how late, he must return home.

Unless he's on a long trip, even if his own granddaughter stays out overnight, the carriage driver will come back, at most going out early the next day to fetch the young lady home.

But last night, Bolabi did not see the carriage driver return.

Thus, he had some bad suspicions.

However, thinking that this is the Silweis Kingdom, as the highest responsible person of the Spirit Hall here, Bolabi set aside this worry.

Joking, even the Silweis royal family wouldn't dare move his granddaughter, who would dare?

Bai Ran: I don't know, your granddaughter came up and slapped me, shouting that I dare not move her, what can I do? I can only send her into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
