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

Chapter 97 Ye Xinglan's Endurance and Bearing of Humiliation!

Shrek Academy, outer courtyard.

On a secluded hillside, a plump figure lurked in the shade of a tree, wriggling like a field mouse.

Xu Lizhi was huddled behind an old tree, his hands gripping the trunk, his shifty eyes gazing affectionately at the beautiful figure in the distance.

A series of dazzling starlight shone brightly ahead, and the bright yellow Star God Sword stood out conspicuously in the darkness.

The blonde girl wielded her longsword, the sword light flowing like water across the grass, the sword energy crisscrossing, the blades of grass fluttering like dancing butterflies.

"Sister Xinglan..."

Xu Lizhi unconsciously bit his fingernails, his eyes filled with longing.

Since returning from Tianhai City three years ago, he and Ye Xinglan had been severely reprimanded by Shen Yi.

As the college also had a tendency to reform, they were directly transferred from the inner college to the outer college.

Subsequently, at Shen Yi's request, the two were forced to separate for study and cultivation.

While he was secretly grieving, Ye Xinglan had already sheathed her sword.

She walked to the side and sat down, gazing at the Star God Sword stuck in the ground, and gently exhaled.

"Phew...almost there..."

Ye Xinglan muttered to herself, a hint of barely perceptible irritation between her brows.

She felt that she had vaguely grasped that feeling, but she was always a little short, as if she was separated by a thin layer of paper.

If only the will in one's heart were stronger.

Thinking of this, Ye Xinglan's gaze subconsciously fell on the soul communication device sitting quietly next to the Star God Sword.

Judging by the time, it seems like it's about time...

Ye Xinglan glanced at the moonlight in the sky, a strange expression appearing on her pretty face.

Drop drop-

Just then, the soul communication device on the ground rang.

One last time! Success! I'll stop now!

Ye Xinglan took a deep breath, as if facing death, and picked up the soul communication device on the ground.

"Hello? Why are you calling again..."

She habitually takes the initiative.

But the other side was clearly prepared, and only after she finished her long opening remarks did a leisurely, laughing voice come through.

"You still owe me ten sentences, just bear with it. Come on, hurry up and call out, I can't sleep if I don't hear this one."

"Hmph! What do I care if you can't sleep? Don't even think about it!"

Ye Xinglan's pretty face flushed slightly as she gritted her teeth and said.

Don't act like the two of them have a great relationship. If she had the chance, she would definitely use the Star God Sword to poke seven or eight transparent holes in that guy.

For the past three years, that bastard has been using that agreement to blackmail her every day.

It would be fine if it were just shouting a couple of lines, but it has to be so sincere, with role-playing and emotional delivery...

Doing it according to this bastard's request made her feel like a singing girl in a brothel, her body and mind seemingly being invisibly ruined.

Although there were no marks on my body, it felt like I had been... you know.

"Alright then, I'll just have to listen to what we have in stock."

The voice on the other end paused, seemingly unconcerned, before several intermittent sounds came through.

"Meow~, I'm your bad owner's little kitten, owner~ please don't grab my tail, go to sleep...meow~meow~"

The shameful sound rang out, and Ye Xinglan's blood rushed to her head, her face flushed red, and an angry voice escaping from between her teeth.

"You bastard! You recorded this!"

"Isn't it because you keep breaking contracts? I had no choice but to resort to this!"

The other party seemed to have Ye Xinglan figured out, speaking in a relaxed and self-satisfied tone, with a hint of mockery in it.

"I can listen to this, but I'm a heavy sleeper. What if I forget to turn it off and someone hears me... that would be really bad."

"you……"

Ye Xinglan's chest heaved violently, and the big secret hidden under her school uniform also pounded with it. She wished she could crawl into the communicator, drag the other person out, and beat them up.

So, in her fury—she snapped.

"Turn off the recording! I'll do it!"

Ye Xinglan practically spat out those words through gritted teeth.

Anyway, she'd already lost face completely in front of this bastard, but if the recording got out and someone else heard it, she'd be truly screwed. She must have been out of her mind to make that bet with this scoundrel.

"Okay! Today, I want to listen to 'Little Sheep Starry Night'!"

On the other end of the communicator, someone was already comfortably lying down, pulled up under the covers, and looking on with anticipation.

"Little Sheep Xinglan~ Little Sheep Xinglan~ Life is so beautiful with her... Meow~!"

With a flushed face, Ye Xinglan forced herself to hum the pre-show tune, following the script sent by Jiang Yi, and then began the bedtime story.

"A long, long time ago, there was a farm where a little lamb and her owner lived happily together..."

Ten minutes later.

Goodnight, Little Sheep Xinglan!

A satisfied voice came through the phone, and the communicator was immediately disconnected. Ye Xinglan's face was already flushed red, almost as if it would explode.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Ye Xinglan crushed the communicator with his bare hands, his eyes blazing with fire, and steam almost emanating from the top of his head.

At that moment, she felt as if an unprecedented power was surging in her chest!

"You bastard! I'll kill you! You little lamb, huh..."

Ye Xinglan grabbed the Star God Sword and began slashing wildly ahead, venting her inner shame and anger.

As the sword light flashed, Ye Xinglan gradually entered a mysterious state, his eyes seeing nothing but that annoying figure in his mind.

I'll kill you! I'll kill you!
Ye Xinglan had only one thought in her mind. At this moment, it was as if everything around her had disappeared, and she could not even feel the existence of the sword in her hand.

But at that moment, a dazzling starlight suddenly burst forth from the Star God Sword!

Om-!
The sword rang out, and a streak of light imbued with ultimate sword intent pierced through the air, snapping a large tree in front of it and crashing to the ground.

"Huh? This is..."

Ye Xinglan snapped out of her rage and stared at the Star God Sword in her hand, a flash of understanding appearing in her eyes!
"So that's what it feels like! I get it now!"

Ye Xinglan's pretty face showed a hint of excitement; she had finally lifted the veil of mystery surrounding sword intent.

"It wasn't in vain that I endured humiliation and hardship for three years..."

Ye Xinglan let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders, and her whole body felt light as a feather.

For three years, she allowed Jiang Yi to manipulate her and perform those shameful acts. Wasn't she using this intense emotion to hone her swordsmanship?

She knew her own personality, and only Jiang Yi, who had defeated her, could so easily evoke all sorts of emotions in her.

Now, it's finally done!

In the distance, under a large tree, Xu Lizhi bit his fingers tightly, afraid to make a sound, tears welling up in his eyes.

He knew that Xinglan had been secretly talking to that person all along, and this time he finally caught her talking to him.

Although I couldn't hear clearly, Xinglan's blushing face probably indicated shyness, like a young girl experiencing her first love.

"Sister Xinglan..."

Xu Lizhi felt a chill run through him.

He always harbored a small hope that by staying with her for a long time, he would one day be able to move Sister Xinglan.

But I never expected my dream to shatter so quickly.

……

"Ok?"

Ye Xinglan seemed to sense something and glanced at a corner where a round figure was leaving sadly.

"Hey! I hope you can pull yourself together! Don't give up, you little foodie!"

Ye Xinglan shook her head and then looked away.

Only after they separated did she realize how much influence she had had on Xu Lizhi.

They can still cultivate together now, but... what about the future?

She can't stay by Xu Lizhi's side forever; the chubby boy will eventually have to learn to be independent.

Immediately, Ye Xinglan looked at the pile of communicator fragments on the ground, a vicious smile appearing on her face.

"Hmph! My sword intent is complete! You bastard, just you wait!"

One day, she will trample Jiang Yi under her feet and make him personally perform those shameful lines!
Then... it plays on a loop a hundred times!!!

I'm going to humiliate you severely!

asshole!
