"Ask me what I want to say to you..."

After consuming over a thousand Soul Rings, including a thirty-thousand-year-old Pink Empress, Ling Bai's soul power surged, but the tide of soul power receded, plunging him into unparalleled pain. His skin cracked, capillaries burst, and blood spurted out, making the world seem to spin before his eyes.

"Senior Sister, do you think there's anything left for me to say? Haven't you seen everything?"

Ling Bai suddenly laughed, his bloodstained clothes trembling with his laughter. He laughed without restraint, but Han Ruoru sensed a hint of helplessness and pain in it. She pursed her dry lips and said with difficulty:

"Yes, I saw it and found it hard to believe. So, you are a Dual Soul Power user.

And your second martial soul is... the Evil Spirit Soul."

"How ironic, isn't it? The martial soul that accompanies the Six-Winged Angel, the executor of justice in the human world, is the Evil Spirit Soul, capable of devouring bones and souls.

That day in the Inner Academy Library, I read through the records of the Tang Sect Continent's ten-thousand-year history of Evil Soul Masters, and I couldn't find a single Evil Spirit Soul more greedy and bloodthirsty than the Death Prison Spider Emperor."

Ling Bai raised his left hand, which housed the Death Prison Scythe. The clearly defined back of his hand looked like a piece of jade art, and the sunlight seemed to reveal the purple-black blood flowing through his veins.

"No wonder that day in the library, you asked me such a strange question."

Han Ruoru lowered her head weakly, her eyes slowly closing together. Her trembling eyelashes betrayed her chaotic and conflicted emotions.

She was an elite of Shrek Academy's Inner Academy, a member of the Inner Academy's surveillance team, tasked with eliminating all Evil Soul Masters and maintaining the order of the Tang Sect Continent. Yet, when it came to Ling Bai, she was torn.

The eleven months since Ling Bai's enrollment were the happiest times for Han Ruoru since she entered the Inner Academy. Finally, someone shared her interests, willing to accompany her to the library to read ancient texts and to have breakfast with her, rain or shine.

At first, the little junior brother was just a joke, but as time passed, she truly acknowledged Ling Bai as her little junior brother.

"Senior Sister, what do you plan to do? Report to Shrek Academy?"

Ling Bai showed no awareness of being an Evil Soul Master, watching Han Ruoru with a relaxed demeanor, seemingly very eager to see what decision she would make.

"I..."

Han Ruoru's mind was a chaotic mess. Just by the Death Prison Spider Emperor's extreme talent for devouring souls, if he repeated the act of devouring the Pink Empress clan dozens of times, Ling Bai would surely break through to level ninety within three years, becoming a powerful Evil Soul Master Sealed Douluo, wreaking havoc on the continent.

Reason told Han Ruoru that there was no need to report to the academy; she should take advantage of Ling Bai's weakened state and strike decisively, eliminating a major threat to the continent in advance.

But her emotions made it impossible for her to raise a hand against him. If not for saving her, Ling Bai would never have revealed the Death Prison Spider Emperor. With the continent's most sacred martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel, Shrek Academy would never suspect her of being an Evil Soul Master, let alone Ling Bai. They would even hold his hand with hope, saying earnestly:

Child, the bright future of the continent depends on you!

Han Ruoru's chest rose and fell slightly, her face expressionless as she regulated her breathing. Her brain CPU worked frantically, hoping to find a solution that would not betray the academy or her feelings.

"Hmm?"

She noticed that Ling Bai seemed to be staring at her, realizing that her emotional changes were completely visible to him. Her expression suddenly became even colder.

This behavior of anger and embarrassment was not lost on Ling Bai, who couldn't help but chuckle.

"What are you laughing at, you little rascal? Do you have a conscience?" Han Ruoru glared at him.

"Why not? Evil Soul Masters can laugh too, right?"

Ling Bai felt that Han Ruoru was like a meticulous little dog, seriously pondering an incredibly serious question, trying to find what she believed to be a perfect solution.

From the beginning, his mindset remained calm. When Han Ruoru called him 'little junior brother,' Ling Bai already understood that the pure and kind Senior Sister was bound to be swayed by the irredeemable Evil Soul Master.

"I'm asking you."

After a long time, Han Ruoru finally made up her mind and said seriously, "From the moment you awakened the Evil Spirit Soul until now, have you ever killed innocent civilians for the sake of cultivating soul power?"

"So far, whether it's civilians or soul masters, I have not taken the life of a single human."

Ling Bai hid his playful expression, adopting a serious one. Before enrolling at Shrek Academy, he had always lived in the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, and it wasn't his place to

kill.

"Hmm!"

Han Ruoru immediately felt relieved. Ling Bai's words also provided her with a reason to accept him. A hint of reminiscence flashed in her eyes as she said:

"I still remember your question in the library. Senior Sister, if you had awakened the Evil Spirit Soul, what would you have chosen? That day, my answer was that I would spend my entire life fighting against the Evil Spirit Soul, striving to be a person with a clean soul and a

clear conscience.

Now I ask you the same question.

Little junior brother, since you have awakened the Evil Spirit Soul, can you fight against evil all your life and keep your soul clean?"

"Senior Sister, I have always been doing that." Ling Bai's golden eyes were filled with sincerity. "I am fortunate to have been born into this world, so heaven must not have sent me here to destroy it. I chose to reject the path of corruption, and I will uphold my beliefs from

start to finish, never turning back."

"You must understand that throughout history, countless Evil Soul Masters have appeared. Many Evil Soul Masters didn't want to become Evil Soul Masters at first, but they all ended up the same..." Han Ruoru sighed. "Falling into corruption is the essence of Evil Soul Masters. There is a vivid example right here at the academy, Ma Xiaotao, known as the Inner Academy Volcano alongside Ming'er.

The Phoenix Evil Fire is the least threatening of the Evil Spirit Souls' desires. Despite the countless treasures in the Sea God Pavilion's underground, the academy has been helpless in dealing with it, often leading to her being unable to suppress her evil fire.

Your Death Prison Spider Emperor, in my view, is far more evil than the Fiery Evil Phoenix. The cold and violent nature that seeps into the soul... I fear that one day you might fall into

the evil of slaughtering all living beings."

"Doing the impossible is my greatest sincerity to the Tang Sect Continent."

Ling Bai's eyes were sharp and his tone resolute. A fierce and decisive will rose within him.

Whether it was the Death Prison Spider Emperor or the Raksha God, his inner pride wouldn't allow him to be defeated by evil, especially since Ilex had provided a solution to completely resolve the Raksha evil power, though the difficulty was extremely high, requiring a ten- thousand-year ultimate fire and ultimate light treasures...

"Alright, I believe you, and I promise to keep this secret forever."

Hearing this, Han Ruoru suddenly smiled, but she quickly composed herself and said firmly:

"Little junior brother, if one day in the future, you succumb to the evil thoughts of the Death Prison Spider Emperor and plan to kill innocents, the first person you kill will be me!"

"In this life and the next, that day will never come."

"I hope that day never comes!"

Han Ruoru frowned and muttered, "If you kill me, a dozen Sealed Douluo will scatter yourNôv(el)B\\jnn

ashes, and in the next life, you'll be a mouse and I'll be a cat, and I'll bite you to death as soon

as I see you!" "Hahaha, Senior Sister, you hate me so much that you won't let go even in the next life!"

Ling Bai was amused by Han Ruoru.

"Of course!"

Han Ruoru said seriously, "If you massacre civilians, you're a murderer, and if I cover for you, I'm an accomplice. We'll both be the continent's eternal sinners, nailed to the pillar of shame for all to spit on. Biting you to death in the next life would be the lighter punishment!" "Alright, alright, I can't argue with you, Senior Sister!" Ling Bai raised three fingers, "I swear

to the gods... to the heavens... mmm!"

Before he could finish his sentence, a pale, warm hand covered Ling Bai's mouth. Han Ruoru

smiled and said:

"No need to swear, just do this with me."

She then extended a playful little finger.

"Pinky promise. In the town where I was born, a pinky promise means never going back on

your word."

Ling Bai inwardly scoffed at the idea that there was something even more ridiculous than swearing, but his body instinctively extended his little finger. The two slender fingers tightly intertwined, and finally, his thumb lightly touched, leaving a mark in the center of their

fingers.

Seal!

After doing this, Han Ruoru nodded in satisfaction. A pinky promise and a vow were essentially the same; it was just a way to make one's heart feel at ease. She then pulled Ling

Bai to her side without hesitation, and he suddenly realized that his head was resting on a soft

pillow.

Ling Bai's brain CPU instantly overheated, with black smoke billowing. This wasn't just any

pillow; it was the legendary lap pillow!

How to describe it...

It was a level of comfort and warmth that some single dogs had never experienced in their

entire lives.

"Eh? Wait!"

The lap pillow from Senior Sister was indeed intoxicating, but the catch was ignoring the fact that Senior Sister was silently holding up seven or eight different colored ointments and gleaming silver needles over her thigh, where her little junior brother lay!

Well, it turned out to be a trap to lower one's guard!

Ling Bai prepared to do a fish flip, but Han Ruoru's sharp eyes pinned him down, thwarting

his "last struggle." Facing the handsome face filled with despair, Senior Sister's voice was gentle:

"You're so badly injured, there's not a single good spot on your body. Little junior brother, be

good, Senior Sister will help you stitch and apply ointment."

"Please, Senior Sister... be gentle..."

Half an hour later, Ling Bai endured the fiery pain all over his body, his expression twitching

as he lay on the lap pillow.

"Senior Sister, I suspect you're getting revenge on me."

"Hmm?"

Han Ruoru's face darkened as she tugged on Ling Bai's super-soft cheek, making him wince.

"You call treating injuries revenge?"

Since his face was at her mercy, Ling Bai had to say vaguely, "Senior Sister, have you heard of

mummies?"

"What are those?" Han Ruoru asked curiously.

"It's not important, just remember, I'm a mummy now."

Han Ruoru understood; Ling Bai was indirectly mocking her! Alright, she admitted that Ling

Bai looked like a bandaged monster at the moment, but that was because his injuries were

severe, not due to poor bandaging!

Meanwhile, two figures were peeking from behind a tree, Wu Ming's jealousy almost

tangible, wishing he could bite a white handkerchief and cry.

"Mmm, I want Ruoru Sister's lap pillow too!"

The loud jealousy caught Han Ruoru's attention, and a large red well symbol appeared above

her head. She turned and shouted:

"What are you talking about? Come over here quickly!"

Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian awkwardly shuffled over, with Chu Qingtian holding a golden long

sword.

"You scared us, we thought something had happened, and you lost the Holy Angel Sword!

The Holy Angel Sword returned to its rightful owner, and Chu Qingtian laughed heartily, giving Ling Bai a look that said, 'You're really something, kid.' Ling Bai rolled his eyes; indeed, fools have fools' luck, and ignorance is bliss!

Han Ruoru briefly explained what had happened, of course, omitting the details about the

Death Prison Spider Emperor. She only mentioned that Ling Bai had used a secret technique that damaged his body to save everyone, which made Wu Ming say on the spot that she could also offer a lap pillow as a way to repay the favor.

Seeing Chu Qingtian praying with clasped hands, Ling Bai decisively declined Wu Ming's offer. Times had changed; even the Inner Academy Volcano had a secret admirer! "Wait a moment, I need to absorb the Soul Ring."

After all the commotion, Han Ruoru almost forgot about the ninety-thousand-year-old Soul

Ring of the Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast.

An hour later, Han Ruoru successfully obtained her eighth Soul Ring. The four then evacuated

from the Star Dou Great Forest.

Compared to when they entered the Star Dou Great Forest, their pace of leaving was much

slower. Out of the four, three were injured. Ling Bai had severe injuries and a ruptured heart, Han Ruoru had worsened internal injuries from the battle with the Blue Lion Azure Sky Beast,

and Wu Ming had an abdominal injury. The only one in good condition was the weak Chu Qingtian.

The dire situation led Chu Qingtian to take on the task of scouting. Fortunately, the Star Dou

Great Forest had a complex and open terrain, and the Electric Mad Leopard's speed advantage could be fully utilized. Moreover, Chu Qingtian seemed particularly enthusiastic, protecting his secret admirer made him very proactive in scouting!

Han Ruoru quietly approached and held Ling Bai's wrist, helping him continue walking. Ling Bai shook his head, but she insisted on taking care of him. The physical contact and the friction of their clothes against their skin allowed him to clearly feel her warmth under the

sunlight. Night fell, and the four were roughly in the middle of the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest. They would return to Shrek Academy by the afternoon the next day.

The Thousand-Jin Ant King had destroyed their tent, so they finished eating steamed buns

and decided to meditate and recover their soul power and physical strength by leaning against a towering ancient tree. They would take turns keeping watch for an hour.

"I'll go first."

Ling Bai climbed up the tree, and the Spider Empress's senses constantly scanned the

surroundings for any soul beast attacks.

Under the tree, Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian quickly entered meditation, while Han Ruoru

looked up at Ling Bai. He sat on a branch, one hand casually resting on his knee, gazing into the distance. From Han Ruoru's angle, she could see his profile, handsome and graceful. Her eyes, as dark as a still lake, momentarily rippled but quickly returned to calm. Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Ling Bai.

Ling Bai asked in confusion, "Senior Sister, why are you here?"

Under the moonlight, star-like spiritual light scattered from the woman's eyes, her clear gaze

gently rippling, "You're badly injured, let me take the watch."

"Alright, let's do it together. We can chat. Senior Sister, Qingtian and I plan to take on our first

surveillance mission as freshmen tomorrow. Do you have any advice?"

"Sure."
