Douluo Continent: My Days in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 1188 Let Me Be Your Next Soul

What is that?

A large question mark popped into Moyin's mind.

What she just saw was a ball of light flying out from between Ye Nanxiao's eyebrows, and then that ball of light suddenly turned into a person.

That's a person, isn't it?

Moyin's eyes widened, her rosy lips slightly parted, as she stared blankly at Xue Di, who was hugging and nuzzling against Liya.

She was so shocked that she even forgot to look at Regent's reaction.

The high priest of the mermaids turned his gaze to Ye Nanxiao, his eyes carrying a hint of inquiry.

Ye Nanxiao sensed that the mermaid high priest seemed to have something to say to him, and nodded slightly.

"Xue'er, stay here with the little princess. I have some things to take care of," Ye Nanxiao said.

Xue Di's gaze was already fixed on Liya's smooth, collagen-rich face. To Ye Nanxiao's words, she simply waved her hand casually to indicate that she knew and that he should hurry up and get on with his business.

Upon seeing this, Ye Nanxiao's lips twitched violently.

Is this an early awakening of the instinct to take care of a child?

The high priestess of the mermaids seemed very interested in the way Ye Nanxiao and Xue Di interacted, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

However, with important matters at hand, he watched for a while before following Ye Nanxiao out of the room.

Lijing glanced at her younger sister, who had already submitted to Xue Di's broad embrace, and muttered, "What did Grandpa say to Master? Can't I even listen?"

Which of Master's matters wasn't handled personally by Lijing?

Now you're actually avoiding her, you lousy master.

"When I arrived, I think I heard my great-grandfather muttering something about sea spirit beasts that didn't voluntarily undergo the soul ritual. He was also wondering if we should send out warriors to help my master replenish his soul beast supply!"

Liya, nestled in Xue Di's arms, immediately looked up and spoke.

On his way here, the merman high priest was thinking so deeply that he subconsciously muttered about this matter.

"Soul? What's that?" Demonic Voice keenly grasped the key point in the words.

It seems that Ye Nanxiao's visit to the Mermaid Kingdom wasn't solely due to his own reasons.

"The soul, that is me."

Xue Di patted her broad chest, letting Liya experience what it meant to be unrestrained.

Mo Yin fell silent. She looked at Xue Di with a somewhat unfriendly gaze.

Lijing stated directly, "Soul spirits, which are a new type of interaction between humans and soul beasts developed by Master, are a substitute for soul rings."

"A substitute for a spirit ring?!" Demonic Voice was shocked once again.

Having lived through many years, Moyin has developed his own views on the relationship between humans and soul beasts.

However, regardless of the circumstances, the unavoidable issue is that human cultivation progress requires hunting spirit beasts in order to obtain spirit rings.

And what is now appearing before him is a soul?

"You don't look like a soul beast either," Demonic Voice said.

Although she said this answer, Moyin knew that the eldest princess had no reason to deceive her.

"Sister Xue~ is the Snow Empress! She's really amazing!" Liya made a gun gesture with one hand, looking very cute.

Moyin turned to look at Lijing, her eyes filled with curiosity. "Your Highness, if you may, could you tell me about this spirit?"

Lijing pondered for a moment whether Moyin could know about the soul spirit.

According to the hierarchical system, Moyin should not know about this, because the matter is being handled personally by the Mermaid High Priest.

But Ye Nanxiao released Xue Di directly in front of Mo Yin. Does this mean that he doesn't mind or is actively letting Mo Yin know?

After thinking for a moment, Lijing then spoke about the matter of the soul spirit. While speaking, she would occasionally glance at Xue Di's reaction. If Xue Di showed displeasure, she would immediately stop.

However, Xue Di didn't seem to care that Li Jing had revealed the matter of the soul.

After hearing Lijing's complete explanation of the spirit, Moyin was once again shocked.

So, soul beasts can coexist with humans in this way?

It transcends the comprehension of demonic sounds.

However, Regent was also troubled because, under the rule of the Mermaid Clan, it was impossible to find a sea spirit beast that met the requirements.

"Sigh, after all, the tense relationship between humans and soul beasts has lasted for so long, it's normal that they don't believe it. I might as well go and try to persuade them myself!" Lijing cheered herself up.

Although spirits are a substitute for spirit rings, at least compared to those rings, spirits that can maintain their own consciousness are clearly an improvement.

Lijing, still clinging to her mentor's idealized image, decided to personally persuade him.

Mo Yin quietly watched Xue Di. This method wasn't exactly friendly to soul beasts.

Soul beasts obviously have very long lifespans; aside from the consequences of the predator-prey chain and some natural accidents, living for thousands of years is not a problem.

However, the strongest humans can only live for three to four hundred years at most.

All things considered, this is a loss for the soul beasts.

But Moyin saw joy in Xuedi.

"She seems to be doing well."

A thought suddenly popped into Moyin's mind.

Just then, Liya sat up from Xue Di's embrace and planted a kiss on Xue Di's cheek.

"Sister Xue smells so good!"

"Smells just like you! My little cutie!"

Xue Di's enthusiasm for Li Ya can only be described as doting.

Perhaps some of her instincts were activated by the lovely Liya.

"Sister Xue, I thought you'd become Master's spirit, like a ghostly giant clam, light and airy as mist! Sister Xue's embrace is so warm!"

"Sister Xue, in this state, are you able to use your full strength from before?"

Faced with Liya's somewhat overstepping question, Lijing's gaze sharpened, her eyebrows furrowed, and she was about to reprimand Liya.

However, Xue Di waved her hand, indicating that there was no need to be nervous.

"You all need to know this too. To become a spirit, I must first seal away the part of my strength that far surpasses Xiao'er's and hide it within my body. As Xiao'er's cultivation improves, my strength will slowly return to its peak. Furthermore, with the opportunities Xiao'er gains, I will become even stronger than I was at my peak!"

"Xiao'er can use my power, and I can also mobilize the power within Xiao'er's body."

"Furthermore, after becoming a spirit, all my previous hidden injuries will disappear, allowing me to fight in peak condition!"

Xue Di explained the issue of the soul's combat power to Ye Nanxiao.

After she finished speaking, Lijing and Moyin fell silent, while only Liya clapped her hands.

"Sister Xue is so amazing~!"

The latest novel is first published here!

Regent's evaluation of the spirit has improved even further this time.

Being able to fight in peak condition every time is something that many warriors dream of.

When Mo Yin heard the words "peak condition," a strong desire flashed in her eyes.

She looked down at her hands, which were wrapped in bandages.

She was actually very uneasy, knowing she would spend the rest of her life as a mermaid unable to fight.

She wanted to continue fighting.

She longed for a body that could erupt at any moment.

The great revenge for my parents has not yet been taken, and the damned abyss has not yet been defeated!

"If there is no medicine that can completely heal my injuries..."

As the eldest princess just said, there are no soul beasts in the Mermaid Sea willing to cooperate.

Liya's big eyes were filled with admiration as she hugged Xue Di's long, fair neck. "Sister Xue is so amazing! Does Master Brother still collect souls? Liya wants to follow Sister Xue!"

Hearing Liya's childish words, Lijing's eyebrows twitched violently. Was her little sister asking for trouble?

"Liya! If you keep doing this, Mother will give you a good beating!" Lijing said helplessly.

Although she didn't mean to discriminate against Ye Nanxiao, Liya was the only mermaid to inherit the royal bloodline.

She is the future mermaid queen.

It cannot and will not become a spirit.

The Snow Empress gently pinched Liya's little face. "You're still too young! Cultivate for another ten thousand years! Even the youngest soul spirit under your master's brother..."

Something seems off. Eight-cornered's cultivation level seems to be barely 100,000 years?

So, does that mean the little loli Liya is stronger than Bajiao?

"So, Master Brother, you don't just have Sister Xue's spirit?" Liya asked, pouting.

"Yes, but you're here this time to find the last soul of your master brother, right?"

Neither Xue Di nor Ye Nanxiao knew whether Ye Nanxiao would be able to continue the soul ritual after reaching the ninth ring.

Ye Nanxiao hasn't yet seen the limit of how many souls he can possess.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Yin clenched her fists. She stared at Xue Di, her eyes seemingly burning with fire, as if she had made up her mind.

"So, do you think I can do it?"

"Um!?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Di turned to look at Mo Yin, her brain taking several seconds to process the information.

"You mean, you want to become Xiao'er's next spirit?!"

The voice gradually rose from low to high, but did not reach the point of cracking.

"Sister Moyin! Are you serious?!" Lijing's eyes widened, and her brows gradually furrowed.

Even Liya stopped joking around and looked at Moyin, waiting for her answer.

Facing numerous gazes, Moyin nodded emphatically. "I've made up my mind! I want to try and become someone like you!"

Xue Di tilted her head slightly, glanced at Mo Yin's clenched fist, followed her gaze upwards, and finally met Mo Yin's firm gaze.

"Since you have this idea, let Xiao'er come and talk to him about it."

Regent quickly snapped out of her daze. She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Moyin smiled at her and said, "Your Highness, there's no need to persuade me anymore. I've really thought it through before making this decision."

"I don't want to spend the rest of my life as a mermaid who can't fight."

"I don't want to spend my whole life with a broken body."

"In my current state, I won't survive the next tribulation. I still want revenge! I want to continue using my power to fight!"

Mo Yin's expression gradually hardened.

Looking at the bandage on Moyin's arm, Lijing had a thousand words to say, but in the end, she could only say "Okay".

Xue Di used her mental connection to call Ye Nanxiao back.

Ye Nanxiao, who was discussing with the mermaid high priest, suddenly received a message from the Snow Emperor saying that she had found a new soul partner.

As Ye Nanxiao opened the door, his gaze met Mo Yin's once again.

"Ye Nanxiao, let me become your next soul spirit!" (End of Chapter)
