Seeing that she was holding on, Hu Liena had no choice but to look at the others.

But they were all tied up and awaited interrogation.

"You!" Hu Liena was caught off guard.

But it's okay, I have plenty of ways to make you afraid to follow me in the future!

She moved her wrist, and the thin rope rubbed against the long post, making a soft rustling sound.

The bronze bell slid down to below her ankle, and with a gentle shake, it jingled.

"Ye Hua, what are you standing there for?"

"The prisoners of war are all waiting to be interrogated!"

"Oh no..."

"Bastard! If you've got the guts, then kill me!"

"Even if I die, I won't utter a single word!"

Chapter 257 Who said I couldn't take it? This is called enjoying it!

"Go ahead and hit me if you dare!"

"Ugh! You bastard! Let me go!"

"Let go, don't touch me, get out!"

"No... I give up..."

"I said...I said...Ugh!!!"

......

The next day, the morning light shone through the curtains and shattered into spots of light on the jade bed in the center of the hot spring.

"Hmm..." Xiao Wu woke up first.

Her first reaction upon opening her eyes was—

My whole body aches as if I've been run over by a horse-drawn carriage!

She tried to move her arm, and the marks from the ligature were clearly visible. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Hu Liena.

The Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall was sleeping soundly.

He held most of the fox tail in his arms, drool still dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Amidst the rising steam, two long, slender legs were crossed and rested on the edge of the bed.

The bell hung loosely on her ankle, swaying occasionally with her even breathing.

"Hmph," Xiao Wu snorted, "Stop pretending to be asleep!"

"Oh, you're awake?" Hu Liena was clearly woken up by her, still feeling drowsy and lazy.

But when she met Xiao Wu's gaze, that provocative edge returned instantly, "How was last night? Want to do it again?"

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes, deliberately wiggling her wrist to make the rope rustle. "That's it? Prisoner of War camp games are nothing special!"

"I got through it easily!"

"Oh?" Hu Liena raised an eyebrow. "That game was my idea, after all. Some people couldn't even come up with it."

"You!" Xiao Wu raised her hand to slap her, but as soon as she moved, her waist ached so badly that she almost fell into the water. Fortunately, she managed to support herself with her other hand in time.

Hu Liena saw it clearly and immediately seized the opportunity to get up. "Tsk tsk, you're quite good at being stubborn, but your body isn't so great—"

Snapped!

Before she could finish speaking, the leather strap on her ankle snapped.

The bell slipped out of the clasp and rolled tinklingly to Ye Hua's ear.

Ye Hua opened his eyes.

Hu Liena froze, her legs went weak, and she successfully fell to the ground.

The atmosphere gradually became subtle.

The moment Ye Hua opened his eyes, his gaze met those fair feet, still glistening with water droplets.

Her toes were slightly curled, the tips were pink, and there were still faint red marks on her ankles.

He reached out and picked up the bell first.

Then, it picked up the feathers from the bed.

Hu Liena remained prone on the bed, and by the time she realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Feathers lightly brushed the soles of her feet.

"Hahahahaha!"

"No, no!"

"Ye Hua, you bastard, hahaha—"

The laughter was exceptionally loud, startling the half-asleep girls.

"Ye Hua, let go—hahahaha!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Seeing her laughing so hard that tears were streaming down her face, Ye Hua made a bend in the feather, moving it from the soles of her feet to the side of her calves.

Hu Liena's laughter immediately changed, and she slapped the water haphazardly with both hands.

The splashing water drenched Wang Qiu'er's face!

"Ugh!" Wang Qiu'er wiped her face. "Who threw this at me?"

"Nana!" Xiao Wu pointed at Hu Liena.

Without saying a word, Wang Qiu'er scooped up the water and splashed it back.

Hu Liena was already breathless from being scratched by the feather, and to make matters worse, Ye Hua was holding her foot, so she couldn't dodge.

"You—!!!" She gritted her teeth, decided not to dodge, and retaliated by splashing water back at them.

A chaotic battle erupted in the pool!

Water splashed everywhere, and laughter and screams mingled together!

The farce eventually continued into the afternoon.

Ye Hua settled the girls in and let them sleep.

But before he could rest for a moment, he was disturbed by a knock on the door.

"Qilin! Qilin! Are you awake?"

The sound of the silkworms in the sky was filled with excitement.

Ye Hua opened the door and saw this million-year-old soul bouncing around with a soul puppet on its head, looking like a silkworm that had been drinking fake alcohol.

"Come on! Follow me!" Tianmeng Bingcan grabbed Ye Hua's wrist.

Seeing his excitement, Ye Hua didn't want to spoil the mood.

Finally, Ye Hua was dragged to Sanwei Study, where a lively scene was taking place.

Feng Xiaotian sat cross-legged in the chair, his soul power flowing around him, his aura calm and stable, clearly indicating that he had broken through to the Soul Emperor level.

Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er also exuded a powerful aura. Although they had not officially broken through, their auras as quasi-Soul Emperors had already solidified!

Familiar faces such as Shuiyue'er and Shimoshimo were also sitting cross-legged, their soul power much stronger.

"Soul Emperor?" Ye Hua was somewhat surprised.

Feng Xiaotian cupped his hands in thanks, "Thanks to Teacher Ye's blessing!"

"These past two years of training at Sanwei Study have been incredibly effective!"

Ye Hua then looked at the others; the auras of Graphite and Stone Mill were also around level 57.

Shuiyue'er later surpassed others and reached level 59, probably because she was urged by her older sister and couldn't slack off.

"Where are Xiao Wu and the others?" Ye Hua asked, remembering.

Tianmeng Bingcan crossed her arms and said, "Heh heh, guess?"

"Level 66?"

Tianmeng Bingcan was stunned. "How did you guess that?!"

“Just a wild guess,” Ye Hua shrugged.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had no choice but to deliver it on a tray.

"Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Wang Qiu'er have higher soul power, reaching level sixty-six."

"The others are slightly less impressive, but still around level sixty-four or sixty-five."

Ye Hua nodded. With immortal herbs, soul bones, and high-age soul rings, coupled with double the cultivation speed, it couldn't be bad!

However, without the assistance of dual cultivation, their cultivation speed was somewhat slowed down.

"Where is the sixth soul ring?"

“An 80,000-year-old soul,” Tianmeng Bingcan laughed. “I personally selected it!”

"Xiao Wu is a Soft-Boned Rabbit, Ning Rongrong is a Nine-Colored Butterfly, and Zhu Zhuqing is a Netherworld Wolf... The absorption process went very smoothly."

"Thank you for your hard work." Ye Hua patted him on the shoulder.

This isn't just polite talk; with him gone, Brother Tianmeng is genuinely busy, and doing a great job at it!

Tianmeng Bingcan waved her hand, "What's so hard about it? I know what I'm doing."

"Soul, this is the first time since the beginning of time that we are creating history!"

Ye Hua raised an eyebrow. "You? Isn't your brother Tianmeng always lazy? When did you start caring about making a name for yourself in history?"

Tianmeng Bingcan was unusually serious. "I don't care about that stuff. But I understand that fame can get you more support!"

"This will help you become a god, and I will also achieve eternal life!"

Ye Hua chuckled wryly, shaking his head meaningfully, "Sometimes being too famous is actually a source of trouble."

"Huh?" Tianmeng Bingcan was puzzled.

Ye Hua didn't explain, but just looked at Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er.

Huo Wu also looked up at the same time, and when she met his gaze, she pursed her lips.

"Do you need my help to retrieve the soul?" Ye Hua smiled.

He happened to have something to do and needed to travel to the Star Dou Great Forest and the Far North Forest, so obtaining souls would be a convenient side activity.

"Is it okay?" Huo Wu's eyes lit up.

Although they trust Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Ye Hua is powerful enough to help them obtain better souls!

Such an opportunity is not to be missed!

"Who among you broke through to Quasi-Soul Emperor first?"

"Fire Dance!" Shui Bing'er took a half step back.

"Sister Bing'er," Huo Wu said shyly, "Actually, we broke through on the same day, so you can go first too."

Shui Bing'er shook her head, "You do it in the morning, I do it in the afternoon, it's different."

Huo Wu nodded, "Okay!"

"Once we've discussed it, let's get ready," Ye Hua said, glancing at the sky. "We'll set off tomorrow morning for the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"Okay!" Huo Wu nodded obediently.

Ye Hua went to the Star Dou Great Forest simply to see if that little irritable dragon had calmed down.

If you've calmed down, now's the perfect time to come up with a strategy!

As if following the principle of "no more than three times," Ye Hua finally met Gu Yuena again when he came to the inner circle.
