Chapter Six: Dragon Robe

Because the True Central Spiritual Arts Academy doesn't require students to live on campus, as long as you can arrive at school before class, no one will bother you if you live off-campus. So Yuan Yuan and Luo Luo naturally didn't live on campus; instead, they built a wooden cabin on a small hill near the academy and moved in.

Of course, seeing what the two did, many students followed suit and built their own wooden cabins. However, those students quickly discovered that living in the cabins on the mountain was far less comfortable than living in the dormitory, so they didn't last more than a few days before moving back to the dormitory. So now, only Yuan Yuan and Luo Luo live on this small mountain next to Zhenyang.

In the pitch-black night, a bright light emanated from the small wooden house, making one wonder how such a bright and steady light could be produced in an era when there were only oil lamps and no electric lights.

Lolo lay on the bed, looking at the spirit energy ball hanging from the ceiling, and chuckled.

"Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan, do you think those people who are born with a lack of spiritual power will get angry and come to cause trouble for you when they see you using your spiritual power like an electric light?"

Sitting at the table with his back to Luo Luo, Yuan Yuan had his head down, seemingly studying something. Hearing Luo Luo's question, he scoffed dismissively.

"If you come looking for trouble for such a ridiculous reason, what's the difference between you and an ant going to bother an elephant because it's small and an elephant is big? It'll only make you a laughing stock. Alright, stop thinking about useless things and go to sleep. I just got the Hollow mask today and I'll probably be studying it until dawn. Don't wait for me."

Upon hearing that Yuan Yuan wouldn't be sleeping with her tonight, Luo Luo let out a disappointed sigh, sat up, and pouted, staring at Yuan Yuan's retreating figure.

"If Xiaoyuan doesn't sleep, I won't sleep either. It doesn't matter if I don't sleep, I want to watch Xiaoyuan study."

"Whatever, you sleep through class every day anyway. Just remember not to bother me, or I'll bury you underground and play a week-long 'idle play' with you."

Yuan Yuan waved his hand dismissively, not caring much about Luo Luo not sleeping. With Luo Luo's soul strength, not only could she not sleep for a day, but even a year wouldn't have any negative impact on her. Besides, she sleeps during class every day, so one night without sleep wouldn't affect her at all.

Seeing that Yuan Yuan didn't object, Luo Luo excitedly climbed out of bed, pulled up a stool, and sat opposite Yuan Yuan, staring at him intently. Despite being stared at so intently, Yuan Yuan didn't change his movements at all; he was already used to this level of scrutiny.

Ignoring Luo Luo opposite him, Yuan Yuan held a long needle made entirely of spiritual energy in his hand, moving it slowly across a piece of white bone armor. Liquidating spiritual energy is easy, but solidifying it is very difficult. Even Yuan Yuan, after two days, had only managed to create one such needle. Because the spiritual energy constituting this needle entirely originated from Yuan Yuan, the resistance to the transmission of his spiritual energy was virtually zero. This zero resistance was extremely useful when conducting detailed research.

As Yuan Yuan slowly moved the long needle, the night grew even darker, clearly indicating that he had spent a considerable amount of time on this bone armor. Suddenly, a frantic voice rang in Yuan Yuan's ears.

"Aaaaaah, I can't take it anymore! Didn't you decide to train your Shinigami powers properly when you met that old man Yamamoto? Why haven't you come to find me yet?!"

As the sound rang out, the scenery before Yuan Yuan's eyes suddenly changed. The small wooden house disappeared, replaced by a boundless grassland.

The sudden change in scenery didn't surprise Yuan Yuan. He rubbed his temples, seemingly troubled.

“I mean, according to common sense, shouldn’t you be obediently waiting here for me to come find you, and then when I come to find you, you’ll mysteriously say something like, ‘You still can’t hear my name? Come back next time.’”

"Of course I want to do that too, but you can clearly hear my name, yet you haven't tried to find me even once. I've been waiting here for so long, and all I have to do is chat with a lunatic. I'm going crazy."

The woman's voice behind him was full of authority and domineering power, yet her words made Yuan Yuan involuntarily facepalm. Although he knew he was different from normal people, and his Zanpakuto was definitely different from ordinary Zanpakuto, he never expected it to be this different—that she would actually come out to find him because she couldn't stand being alone.

Ignoring the voice that sounded like Red Star's, "I'm not mentally ill," Yuan Yuan turned around and saw his Zanpakuto for the first time. However, the appearance of the other party made him increase the pressure on his fingers as he rubbed his temples.

"I said, the characteristics of a Zanpakuto are related to the soul characteristics and personality of its master, right? I won't pursue the matter since you're a woman, and I can roughly guess the reason. But why are you wearing a dragon robe? I don't think I want to be an emperor, such a boring profession."

The woman in the dragon robe, with a majestic face, curled her lip indifferently, seemingly bored with Yuan Yuan's question. This action made Yuan Yuan feel even more that this Zanpakuto was vastly different from his own personality.

"What's there to worry about? It's just clothes, right? Forget about dragon robes, I can wear a bikini if ​​I want. With my assets, who dares to say I don't look good in anything? Okay, okay, stop frowning. I'll explain it to you, alright? Seriously, you have no sense of humor. No wonder you haven't built a harem yet."

The Zanpakuto seemed to want to show Yuan Yuan its swimsuit, but seeing Yuan Yuan frown, it could only slump its shoulders dejectedly and begin answering Yuan Yuan's question rather irritably.

"The Zanpakuto's abilities and appearance are indeed related to the characteristics and personality of its master's soul. Under the influence of your physical body, your soul has long since begun to develop in the direction of the World Serpent. Even if the World Serpent has no authority, its physical characteristics still represent reincarnation. The mentally ill person born first in your spiritual world was male, so naturally I can only be female."

Regarding the dragon robe, you can't deny that you have a strong desire for control. Amplify this desire, coupled with absolute self-confidence, and you're practically a living template for an emperor!

After a moment's thought, Yuan Yuan nodded, confirming the other party's statement. Raising an eyebrow, Yuan Yuan looked coldly at his Zanpakuto.

"So, as someone who was born from my soul, you should know what happens if you interrupt me during my experiments. Tell me about your abilities, and if you don't satisfy me, you know what the consequences will be."

A bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and the dragon-robed Zanpakuto hurriedly began to introduce its abilities.

Chapter Seven Original Text

When the scenery before Yuan Yuan changed again, Luo Luo's grinning face appeared in front of him. Raising an eyebrow, Yuan Yuan pretended not to see the infatuated expression on the other's face and looked down to carefully examine the Zanpakuto that had suddenly appeared in his hand.

To Yuan Yuan's relief, neither the blade nor the scabbard displayed the flamboyant gold of the dragon robe; instead, they were entirely black. Having confirmed the absence of any color he disliked, Yuan Yuan then began to examine the blade's construction. Overall, Yuan Yuan's Zanpakuto wasn't particularly unusual, except that it was slightly longer than a typical Zanpakuto. Looking at the tsuba (handguard), it was shaped like an open book, appearing as if a sharp blade had been plunged deep into the spine of the book.

Playing with the blade in his hand, Yuan Yuan noticed the curiosity on Luo Luo's face. He slightly trembled his hand holding the knife, and a shorter black blade appeared in his other hand, while the original long sword had become hollow. Clearly, the short sword had been drawn from the long sword.

"Hey, there are two knives? I didn't see any seams on them."

Seeing that one knife had turned into two, Luo Luo couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Yuan Yuan glared at Luo Luo, then merged the two knives back into one.

"Even if your eyes can't see it, does that mean your soul perception is fake? With your soul level, let alone seeing that these are two knives, it would be a piece of cake for you to directly see what her abilities are."

Lolo gently tapped her head, stuck out her little tongue, and gave Yuan Yuan a look that said, "Oh, there's such a way? I forgot." Yuan Yuan's eyes twitched, and he habitually gave her a flick on the forehead.

Rubbing her slapped forehead, Luo Luo stared at the knife in Yuan Yuan's hand with shining eyes, her face full of surprise.

"Xiao Yuan, your Zanpakuto's ability is amazing. It's not showing up yet, but when your soul transforms to the Authority level and you have immense spiritual power, this ability will be top-tier even in the void."

Yuan Yuan wasn't surprised by Luo Luo's praise. After learning about the Zanpakuto's abilities, his first thought was how powerful these abilities would become in the future. Perhaps in the hands of an ordinary Shinigami, this ability would be useless due to the limitations of his spiritual power, but in Yuan Yuan's hands, it would undoubtedly shine brightly.

Stroking the longsword in his hand, Yuan Yuan's eyes were filled with satisfaction. Pointing the tip of the sword at the white bone armor on the table, Yuan Yuan's lips parted slightly, uttering the words to unleash its power.

"Announce it, Imperial Edict."

Instantly, a black light spread from the blade to the white mask, turning the pale white into an unfathomable black. Looking at the blackness, Yuan Yuan nodded in satisfaction and spoke again.

"Activation is stimulated, restoring the organism to its living state."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Yuan's body went limp and he collapsed to the ground. He couldn't even prop himself up with his hands; he lay prostrate on the ground in unprecedented weakness, breathing heavily, as if he would die if he didn't. Although he was so weak, his eyes gleamed with excitement. Luo Luo didn't immediately help Yuan Yuan up; she knew that wasn't what he needed at that moment.

Placing the white bone armor in front of Yuan Yuan, Luo Luo's face revealed a rare smile other than her usual infatuated grin—a serene and gentle one. Looking at Yuan Yuan's face, she softly spoke.

"Xiao Yuan succeeded! Although it will recover quickly, this fragment has indeed regained its activity level as when it was still alive."

Trembling, Yuan Yuan reached out and stroked the mask, feeling the spiritual energy within it. Confirming that the bone armor had regained its vitality, he closed his eyes with satisfaction.

Zanpakuto (Soul-Slaying Sword), Imperial Decree, Ability: By paying sufficient spiritual energy, one can issue an inviolable command. The strength of the spiritual energy paid determines the enforceability of the command; if the paid spiritual energy is insufficient, the command will not be executed, but the paid spiritual energy will still be consumed.

Lying on Lolo's lap, enjoying the comfort of her knees as a pillow, and recalling the abilities of his Zanpakuto, Yuan Yuan's face showed a smile that was both exhilarating and somewhat conflicted.

"With my current spiritual power level, which is close to that of a vice-captain, restoring the activity of just one Killian mask has exhausted all my spiritual power, causing this level of weakness. If this ability were given to someone else, even if they were a captain, they would be nothing but a useless piece of trash. If I don't speed up my soul evolution, I'm afraid I won't be able to use my Zanpakuto for a long time."

Gently stroking Yuan Yuan's cheek, Luo Luo's eyes were unusually gentle. She knew how difficult it was to stay awake when one's spiritual energy was completely depleted and the soul was extremely empty.

"Xiaoyuan is mistaken. Although your Zanpakuto's power is consumed a lot, it's not as severe as Xiaoyuan thinks. Xiaoyuan's command just now was not 'mere.' Although it's still low-level compared to resurrection, it's still a command that involves turning death into life. Even if what comes back to life is just a mask."

Seeing the surprised expression on Yuan Yuan's face, Luo Luo gently covered his eyes with her small hand, leaned down and whispered in his ear.

"Really, what they said is true. They would never lie to Xiaoyuan. Now, Xiaoyuan should get a good night's sleep to avoid damaging his soul."

Listening to the murmurs beside him, Yuan Yuan felt his already intense drowsiness intensify. His eyes, which he had been managing to keep open, slowly closed. Before drifting off to sleep, he seemed to be talking to himself, whispering...

"Don't make things difficult for her."

Feeling Yuan Yuan's steady breathing, Luo Luo gently brushed her hand across his face, leaving a barrier that isolated sound and spiritual energy fluctuations. Then, she shifted her gaze to the Zanpakuto lying to the side, a ruthless glint appearing on her beautiful face.

“Although Xiaoyuan said not to make things difficult for you, we can’t just sit idly by and watch Xiaoyuan suffer so much. You agree, right, little guy?”

The black sword, under Lolo's gaze, trembled, emitting a crisp ringing sound, as if refuting Lolo's words. Lolo narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of anger appearing on her face, and a beam of orange light shot from her eyes, illuminating the Zanpakuto.

"It seems you don't think you've done anything wrong. Fine, fine, I'd like to hear what your purpose was in letting Xiao Yuan, who is clearly not strong enough to use you, know your name."

In the orange light, the black Zanpakuto transformed into a human form, and a beautiful woman in a golden dragon robe looked at Lolo with a majestic expression.

Whether he uses my abilities or not is for me to decide; it's none of your business!

Chapter Eight Snake

The woman in the dragon robe stood with her hands behind her back, looking at Luo Luo with disdain, and spoke slowly and deliberately.

“My soul and his soul share the same fate, and I share the same fate. If it weren’t for your actions that enraged me, how could I have punished him like this?”

Lolo laughed in anger, letting out several chilling laughs before staring intently at the woman who had provoked her.

"Putting aside the fact that Xiaoyuan is your master, you have no right to do such a ridiculous thing as 'punishing' him. I'm more curious about what we could have done to make you treat your master like this."

An angry look appeared on the woman's face. She suddenly waved her hand and pointed at Luo Luo.

"You ask me what's wrong? How laughable! Yuan Yuan and I were born together, our souls are intertwined, we should be together by nature. But he has never shown any intention of coming to find me. He only cares about being with you all the time and has never considered my feelings. Do you know how much pain I suffer from hearing you call out 'Little Yuan' so disgustingly every day?"

"Wait, wait a minute."

Covering her face, Lolo's initial anger dissipated, replaced by a look of helplessness.

"Give him a break. Although he already knew that Kobuchi was a bit narcissistic, he didn't expect it to be this serious. A Zanpakuto and its master are born from the same soul; to put it bluntly, they are one person. You, you actually like Kobuchi? If the two of you were together, what would be the difference between that and masturbation?"

The woman's disdain deepened, and she raised her head, looking down at Luo Luo with utter contempt.

"You stupid bird brain, what's wrong with masturbating? Is masturbating so strange? Haven't you ever masturbated in front of Yuan Yuan? Ridiculous, you're making a fuss over nothing. No wonder you can only be the submissive one in front of Yuan Yuan."

Instantly, Lolo's face turned bright red, and she started shouting incoherently at the woman.

"Stop nagging, who, who is the bottom? And you're talking about others, but what about yourself? It's like you're not the bottom in front of Xiaoyuan."

The woman, who had initially been beaming with pride at seeing Lolo's disarray, her eyes filled with a sense of superiority over the bird-brained girl, suddenly paled upon hearing the last sentence, her head hanging low in dejection.

"Who knows what's going on? I'm usually very strong. I can completely suppress that mentally ill person who was born from Yuan Yuan's memories in his mental world. But for some reason, I unconsciously become a goofball whenever I see Yuan Yuan."

"Haha, he can only bully the mentally ill, and he thinks he's so great. What an idiot."

Clapping her hands, Lolo looked at the imperial edict with schadenfreude, celebrating that she had won back a point.

The emperor curled his lip, glanced disdainfully at Luo Luo, slowly squatted down in front of Yuan Yuan, gently stroked his face, and whispered as if talking to himself.

"I wonder who it was that got confused by what I said just now."

After one night, Yuan Yuan's hut was neither burned to ashes nor chopped into pieces. Everything was safe and sound. Congratulations!

When Yuan Yuan awoke from his deep sleep, he found Luo Luo slumped on the table, looking utterly exhausted. He then drew his Zanpakuto from its sheath; its black light had dimmed, as if it had suffered a severe loss of energy.

Rubbing his temples, Yuan Yuan spoke with a slight headache.

"I clearly told her not to make things difficult for her, but she wouldn't listen. Now look what happened, we've both lost."

Yuan Yuan clutched his head, which throbbed as badly as a hangover, and after a moment's thought, decided to give up on comforting these two idiots. These things were hard to explain.
