Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 144 Elder Cai, you don't want anything to happen to Pavilion Master Yun, do you? (Bonus Chapter)

"I didn't see anything, you guys continue, keep going!"

Seeing the two people who had suddenly jumped away, Nanali immediately covered her eyes with her hands in an exaggerated manner and pretended to slip away to the backyard.

Leng Yulai calmed down by now, and her face turned bright red as she looked at her half-undone clothes.

"You've gone astray!"

She glared at Jiang Yi with shame and indignation, pushed him away from her, and disappeared, leaving only a faint, cool fragrance in the air.

"..."

Jiang Yi helplessly scratched the back of his head, then turned his gaze to Nanali, who was preparing to slip away.

"What are you doing! I'm all about hard work, not prostitution! Don't even think about it!"

Nanali noticed Jiang Yi's gaze and immediately clutched her chest, looking wary.

I'm just a henchman, not a bed warmer!

Moreover, she's only thirty years old, still a young girl, and hasn't even experienced a legendary romance yet.

"Don't worry, with your conditions, I'm afraid the child will go hungry. You're overthinking it."

Jiang Yi glanced at Nanali's chest and retorted mercilessly.

The land was flat as a pancake, and you could see your feet just below your head.

This child even has to fight with him for milk, he's so disgusted!

"Superficial! Vulgar!"

Nanali stomped her foot in anger and rolled her eyes.

Fortune changes every thirty years! Never underestimate a young girl's poverty!
Once my physical defects are fixed and I develop again, I'll smother you to death!
"Don't interrupt, why didn't you come back sooner? What were you doing?"

Jiang Yi straightened his clothes and looked at Nanali, asking her in an annoyed tone.

He finally managed to catch Leng Yulai, but Nanali ruined it for him.

"I ran into some trouble on the way and got a little lost..."

Nanali blinked her innocent big eyes and began to talk nonsense with a straight face.

"It's a liar!"

Jiang Yi rolled his eyes. He must have been slacking off somewhere along the way.

"hey-hey!"

Nanali blinked and grinned foolishly, trying to get away with it by being cute; she wasn't really trying to fool Jiang Yi.

The three of them had spent several years together and knew each other very well, with Little Phoenix knowing even more about each other.

Then she took two steps forward, her tone becoming more serious.

"I brought Cai Yue'er's soul back. However, this guy is a bit stubborn, and I couldn't get any information out of him."

Nanali shrugged and looked at Jiang Yi, asking a question.

"Should we just perform a soul search on her?"

If it weren't for Jiang Yi's request, given her style, she would have refined it long ago.

"Not urgent!"

Jiang Yi shook his head, rejecting Nanali's suggestion.

Cai Yue'er's spiritual power is at the Spirit Abyss Realm. If she forcibly attempts to search her soul, the other party will likely fight to the death, and in the end, she will probably only get some fragmented memories, which would be a loss.

Besides, letting Cai Yue'er die like this would be too easy for her.

The Emperor's Banner, one seat in the private room!
In a few years, when Shrek shines, we can also have Mr. Cai give them a send-off.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Nanali nodded indifferently.

She wasn't interested in this old woman, but turning her into a ghost and using her as a sacrifice for her Dark Bell was quite good.

……

In a dimly lit space, only in the very center, a beam of pale light shines down from above, illuminating a solitary wooden cross.

On the cross, a phantom figure was tightly bound, with countless chains formed from black mist wrapped around its body and cutting into the depths of its soul.

"Aaaaah! Kill me if you dare! You bastards!"

As the black mist seeped into her, Cai Yue'er let out painful screams, screams that pierced her very soul.

"Thump! Thump thump!"

Just as Cai Yue'er was cursing, a familiar set of footsteps approached. She suddenly raised her head and glared venomously at the person who had entered.

She was a petite girl with two long ponytails hanging down her back. Her face was sweet, like a girl next door, but in Cai Yue'er's eyes, she was a demon from hell. These past few days, it was this seemingly harmless evil spirit master who had been tormenting her soul with various methods.

She thought that death would end everything, but to her surprise, those despicable evil spirit masters used evil magic to separate her soul.

Now even death is a luxury!
However, don't even think about getting her to betray Shrek Academy!
"Hey! You're still alive!"

Nanali walked over with a smile, toying with a long black whip that gleamed with an eerie light in her hand.

"Pah! Go ahead and kill me if you dare!"

Cai Yue'er tried to spit, but forgot that she was already in a soul state, and only spat out a small ball of flickering spiritual light, which instantly dissipated.

Snapped!
Nanali, too lazy to waste words, simply lashed out with her small leather whip, striking Cai Yue'er's soul.

“Ahhhhh——!”

A bloodcurdling scream instantly echoed through the space, and Cai Yue'er's face was contorted, like a sow in labor.

The black whip seemed to be a specially made soul-guiding device, capable of leaving clear whip marks on the soul, bringing compounded pain.

"This is the consequence of opposing the Holy Church!"

As Nanali spoke, she slowly lashed out with the whip a dozen times before finally stopping, seemingly unsatisfied.

Her gaze, however, drifted meaningfully to a shadowy corner to the side, as if issuing a warning, but clearly not directed at Cai Yue'er.

Cai Yue'er also noticed this at this moment, and enduring the excruciating pain that felt like her soul was being torn apart, she followed Nanali's gaze.

A figure she recognized emerged from the shadows—it was Jiang Yi, the very same Jiang Yi who had spoken up for her at the Sea God Pavilion and recommended her to go to East Sea City!
In an instant, Cai Yue'er's eyes widened in fury, her soul trembled violently with extreme anger, and even the black chains creaked as she struggled.

"You little beast! It was you! I f*** you! You bastard! ****! ****! *****!"

When Cai Yue'er saw Jiang Yi come out, her eyes widened instantly, and then she started swearing.

He's a traitor! I'm in this mess because of him!
"Scream! What are you yelling for! It's so noisy!"

Nanali impatiently lashed out with her whip again.

However, Cai Yue'er suddenly became defiant, her eyes bloodshot, and she began to emit wisps of ominous black energy, staring at Jiang Yi like a vengeful ghost.

She endured the excruciating pain that pierced her soul, without uttering a sound.

"This is boring! I'm leaving it to you! Just don't kill him!"

Seeing that Cai Yue'er had stopped screaming, Nanali lost interest, casually tossed the whip to Jiang Yi, and turned to leave decisively.

In the dim space, only Jiang Yi and Cai Yue'er, who was trapped on the cross, remained.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

As soon as Nanali left, Cai Yue'er immediately started barking wildly at Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi remained unperturbed, merely toying with the black whip in his hand as he watched Cai Yue'er bark like a dog.

Finally, Cai Yue'er seemed to have exhausted herself from scolding, and her voice gradually lowered.

She stopped barking, suddenly looked up, tears streaming down her face, and murmured something.

"Brother Ming! Did you see that?! I didn't do anything wrong! I didn't do anything wrong! This little beast is an evil spirit master! I did nothing wrong!!!"

She seemed to be using this shout to prove her innocence and loyalty.

"I'm done cursing."

Jiang Yi then slowly stepped forward, looking calmly at Cai Yue'er and asking.

"Hmph! You little beast! Forget about it!"

Cai Yue'er spat out an invisible saliva and sneered.

"Although I, Cai Yue'er, have fallen for your tricks, I am a member of Shrek Academy in life and in death!"

"I will never betray Shrek! Never!"

However, the next second, she was stunned.

Jiang Yi did not get angry. Instead, he cautiously looked around to make sure no one was watching before approaching Cai Yue'er.

"Elder Cai! Time is of the essence, and the mission is urgent! I don't have time to explain to you! Besides me, the Holy Spirit Cult has another mole within the academy!"

He placed his hands on Cai Yue'er's shoulders, looked at her sincerely, and asked quickly.

"Think back carefully, did you find any clues on the day of the ambush?"

"Based on my recent observations, they seem to be plotting a conspiracy against Pavilion Master Yun! Elder Cai, the situation is extremely critical. You don't want anything to happen to Pavilion Master Yun, do you?"

Cai Yue'er: "???"

What the heck...?
　Brothers, it's the beginning of the month, please give me some monthly votes.

　　(I forgot to update my leave slip last month, so I lost my perfect attendance bonus and a loss of 3,000 yuan. Almost half a month's work was for nothing. I need some money to console myself, ahhhhh!!!)
