Chapter 31: The Winds and Waves Begin to Rise

Xiadie withdrew her thoughts, shook her head lightly, and stopped dwelling on it.

Xu Jiujiu's soul power and Spirit Power were trending toward stability; she was not far from waking up.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

Xu Jiujiu slowly drifted awake.

"Jiu Jiu, you're awake."

Manyi hurriedly went over to ask about Xu Jiujiu's condition.

Wang Xian'er released her perception to sense the situation, and after confirming there were no problems, she nodded lightly.

After all, she was not like Manyi, who was very familiar with Xu Jiujiu.

She could only be considered an elder consultant of the imperial family; this trip to hunt for a Spirit was also for the sake of the teacher behind Xiadie, out of gratitude for being able to rejuvenate her own life that was nearing its end.

As for losing an arm, hmm...

It was a bit troublesome, but she was not a Battle Spirit Master, so it did not have much impact.

Didn't Xiadie say it could be restored?

Even if it could not be restored, being able to receive guidance from that senior might allow her to advance further to Level 97, Level 98, or even...

Wang Xian'er suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart, looked at Xu Jiujiu, and said, "Jiu Jiu, what is your soul power level now?"

"Level 55, my soul skill is..."

"As expected of a Beast Spirit Bone, it actually increased by 4 levels," Wang Xian'er exclaimed.

After Xu Jiujiu finished speaking with Manyi, she hurriedly rose from her cross-legged position, walked quickly to Xiadie, who was looking at the scenery to the side, and bowed deeply:

"Miss Xiadie, I do not know how to express my gratitude."

"As long as it is something our Star Luo Empire can do, I, Xu Jiujiu, will definitely use my greatest strength to help you achieve it."

A woman who could become the emperor's deputy as a princess of the imperial family could not be stupid, even if she was young.

She had not thought of it before, but just now, while talking to her grandmother.

Manyi had intentionally or unintentionally mentioned it from the side, and she reacted quickly.

If you eat someone's food, your mouth becomes soft; if you take someone's things, your hands become soft.

How could a Beast Spirit Bone be given to someone else for nothing?

"Princess, you are too polite."

Xiadie did not call her 'sister' this time; she did indeed have her own purpose for giving the soul bone.

"My teacher hopes that I will gain experience on the continent for a period of time. I have learned many things from my teacher and need to put them into practice."

"I hope the Princess can provide some convenience."

"That is only natural. Miss Xiadie, please rest assured; my brother and I will satisfy your requirements as much as possible," Xu Jiujiu replied with a bow.

"Sister Jiu Jiu, there is no need to be so formal," Xiadie smiled slightly. "My teacher let me come out to gain experience just to broaden my horizons and make some friends."

"When I was studying, my teacher said I was too much of a shut-in, often not leaving the house for half a year or a year."

Speaking of this, Xiadie chuckled.

She had many teachers, such as Ke Xia, Aglaia, or other Golden Descendants, and so on.

After a moment of casual conversation, the group began their return to the Star Luo Empire.

Inside the Huang Gong.

Emperor Xu Jiawei looked at the three people returning in astonishment.

As a Titled Douluo, he immediately sensed his younger sister's Level 55 soul power.

She had encountered a fortuitous event!

However, occupying a high position, he quickly suppressed this surprise and his gaze landed on Wang Xian'er on his left.

"Wang Lao, what happened to your arm?" Xu Jiawei asked.

"I had a fight with a beast," Wang Xian'er smiled. "I almost didn't make it back."

"A, a beast!?"

Soul beasts comparable to Titled Douluo of Level 95 or higher are generally called beasts.

You are a Healing Spirit Master, are you tired of living?

"Brother, I will explain to you what happened this time." Xu Jiujiu bowed to her brother and sat down on a chair nearby.

It was also the first time Xu Jiawei had seen his sister with such a solemn expression, so he simply held back his questions and signaled for Xu Jiujiu to continue speaking.

Xu Jiujiu pondered for a moment and said, "We went to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for a soul beast..."

Time passed second by second.

It took nearly two hours for Xu Jiujiu to recount, in meticulous detail, every scene that occurred in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Compared to the composure of the three, Xu Jiawei felt his scalp tingle as he listened.

As the emperor, the information Xu Jiawei knew was certainly more than Xu Jiujiu's, especially regarding the Star Dou Great Forest, where the army had to guard against beast tides at all times.

"You met Di Tian and are still alive?" Xu Jiawei gasped, his head buzzing as if he had been struck by a Clear Sky Hammer.

Xiadie's thousand-year first soul ring, the second soul ring from a 270,000-year beast sacrifice, plus Chi Wang, the Imperial Auspicious Beast San Yan Jin Ni, and the Beast God Di Tian.

The most, most incredible thing was.

A Soul Master, a Soul Master not even at the level of a Great Soul Master, defeated two soul beasts comparable to hundred-thousand-year ones.

One auspicious beast, one 270,000-year beast, and she even reached an agreement with Di Tian.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, there were actually 4 soul beasts comparable to a Limit Douluo.

This...

Is this right?

I understand every word, but how does it sound like gibberish when put together?

Even the Shrek Seven Devils of the past weren't this outrageous, right?

Also, when Xiadie tore through space to gamble with Di Tian, inside that torn space, there was a creature suspected to be a dragon that could make Di Tian tense up.

It sent Chi Wang flying with a single swipe of its claw.

"This... is this true?"

Xu Jiawei felt his throat go dry; he picked up the teacup filled with water on the table and drank it in one gulp.

"Brother, I am now level 55, and I have absorbed that Beast Spirit Bone."

"That soul bone was given to me by Xiadie."

"Hiss—"

Xu Jiawei gasped.

"That Beast Spirit Bone is on you?"

It was no wonder Xu Jiawei was shocked.

A 270,000-year-old Toubu Hunbone, just given away like that.

"Your Majesty."

Wang Xian'er stepped forward, interrupting the atmosphere of shock.

Xu Jiawei's gaze also shifted to Wang Xian'er.

"Xiadie didn't say it explicitly, but it might be the intention of that senior."

"She will stay in the Star Luo Empire for the time being."

"Your Majesty, I hope you can carefully consider your relationship with her," Wang Xian'er thought for a moment and said, "When I returned, I found that Xingluo Cheng was under much stricter security; has something happened?"

"It certainly should be carefully considered." Xu Jiawei crossed his hands, recovering from his shock.

Thinking of the intelligence from this period, he felt a wave of indignation.

"That little... that Miss Xiadie, you all see when she is available, and invite her to Huang Gong to meet with me, or ask what she and her teacher need, and we will satisfy it as much as possible."

"As for the things that have happened during this time." Xu Jiawei sighed and handed a piece of intelligence paper, which had been held down by an ink stone on the table, to Wang Xian'er.

"Shrek has brought people here, and some Evil Soul Masters also seem to be planning to enter Xingluo Cheng."

"I originally wanted to let you return to Xingluo Cheng later, but thinking that you might not be safe outside, I let you come back directly."

"Evil Soul Masters?" Wang Xian'er frowned.

Not everyone is like Xiadie, whose death aura makes people feel peaceful rather than bloodthirsty, but if those Evil Soul Masters really go crazy, Xingluo Cheng will be in big trouble.

"I have already left Shrek waiting, and I haven't found a solution yet."

"As for the Evil Soul Masters, it is suspected that a Titled Douluo has entered; this is the information collected by the intelligence department."

"In short, this matter is quite troublesome."

After Xu Jiawei finished speaking, he fell silent, giving everyone time to think.

He had really almost pulled his hair out over the past few days.

"How about this." Xu Jiujiu also finished reading the intelligence information handed to Wang Xian'er and hesitated for a moment, "How about we let Miss Xiadie share her opinion?"

"Her teacher is a Limit Douluo, and she was in contact recently; perhaps she has a solution."

Hearing this, Xu Jiawei tapped his fingers on the table.

"That works too, then let's make it the day after tomorrow!"

"Rest for one day tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, Jiu Jiu, you go and invite Miss Xiadie over."

"I want to thank her personally."

"Also, keep what happened in the Star Dou Great Forest a secret from others for now."

Some things bring more danger the more people know about them.

"Yes."

The three of them nodded in response.
