"Xu Tianran sent out two guards, I'm afraid his purpose wasn't just to patrol the border, right? If it was to patrol the border, would you still have time to set up camp here?" Ye Nanxiao said, his hands on the ground.
"Want to know? I can tell you, but you have to show some sincerity first." Orange lay on Ye Nanxiao, her military boots already kicked off, and she curled up on him.
"Be serious, this is a dialogue at the national level!" Ye Nanxiao said with a serious expression.
Orange looked up at him and smiled meaningfully, "Serious? But the feeling coming from my left hand tells you that you don't want to be serious."
"Your heart is still racing? Why is that?"
"Because it's your charm, I can't deny it, so answer me quickly." Ye Nanxiao glanced at Xiao Er, who was being manipulated, and cursed the useless thing in his heart.
Orange's eyes lit up, and she made a movement with her hand, slowly withdrawing it. "Actually, you probably already guessed it without me saying anything, right?"
"The patrol is a pretense, the defense is the real purpose, but what is the reason?" Ye Nanxiao had long guessed that the arrival of the Fire Phoenix and the Imperial Dragon Legion was not for patrolling the border, but for deploying troops for defense, and on the other hand, to put great psychological pressure on Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger.
"You should know that the Star Luo Imperial Palace was attacked, otherwise your Shrek group wouldn't have come here," Orange said.
Ye Nanxiao's eyelids twitched, and he quickly asked, "How many organizations have the Evil Soul Masters established on the border?"
This time, Orange shook her head.
"I don't know. I have no right to know the details of the Grand Preceptor's battle plan. I came here only to guard the border and hold off Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger."
"Otherwise, knowing my personality, you know what I'll do."
Ye Nanxiao shuddered, slightly panting. "Dai Hao, can he beat Xu Tianyuan?"
As a member of the Guardian of the Nation, the Imperial Dragon Soul Guild is equipped with the most advanced soul tools, which are personally configured by the three strongest soul tool experts.
Even with the strongest soul tool that the Star Luo Empire can currently offer, it is still not enough in the face of the Guardian Hand.
"None of them will win; they'll only end up hurting each other," Orange said with a cold laugh.
As soon as Ju Zi finished speaking, Ye Nanxiao understood her thoughts. After a moment's thought, he said, "You want to get rid of Xu Tianyuan?"
"Only half of the power to protect the nation is now in my hands," Orange said calmly.
She was only the nominal leader of the Guardian of the Nation, but in reality, Xu Tianyuan had taken away a lot of power from her, and even subtly surpassed her. Otherwise, where would Xu Tianyuan have gotten the confidence to challenge her on the spot?
Both of their powers originated from Xu Tianran; who had more power was simply a matter of the emperor's word.
"Was my arrival part of your plan?" Ye Nanxiao reached out and grabbed Ju Zi's ponytail.
"Cloth in..."
The answer Ye Nanxiao received was from Ju Zi, whose speech was unclear.
The two stared at each other silently for a quarter of an hour before Ju Zi sat up again and expertly pulled a handkerchief from Ye Nanxiao's arms.
Upon seeing the handkerchief, Ju Zi frowned slightly, then picked up her teacup, took a sip, wiped her mouth, folded the handkerchief, and stuffed it into her pocket.
"Top-quality silkworm silk, five gold soul coins per piece, no credit accepted." Ye Nanxiao breathed slightly, his face flushed.
"Here's one back for you." Ju Zi took out a handkerchief embroidered with a cute fox head pattern from the pocket close to her body and stuffed it into Ye Nanxiao's arms, taking the opportunity to take advantage of him.
Ye Nanxiao sighed softly, "So you want me to go back and kneel on the keyboard, right?"
"You don't need to kneel anymore if you stay with me. I'll hold you in the palm of my hand and keep you in my mouth." Orange licked her red lips and reached out to feel Ye Nanxiao's slightly rapid heartbeat.
"Alright, it won't recover in a short time if you keep doing this. How do you want me to cooperate with you?" Ye Nanxiao shifted his buttocks somewhat awkwardly.
Adjust the trajectory.
Ju Zi frowned slightly, lost in thought, but her hands kept moving.
"I expected Shrek Academy to come, but with both Gluttonous Douluo and you here, the situation is on a completely different level!"
"If it were just those guys from the Shrek Academy Inspection Team, I'd be about 70% confident. What a pity."
Ye Fox is one of our own, but Taotie Douluo is not. In the face of today's peerless powerhouse, any scheme is utterly futile.
"Are you so confident that you can handle Sister Tao?" Ye Nanxiao reached out and pulled the little hand that was playing tricks on his chest away. He wasn't used to being teased.
"I lack confidence, but I have connections." Orange winked playfully.
Ye Nanxiao stared intently at the scene. What was the relationship? He remembered that Ju Zi didn't know Ma Xiaotao.
"You are our husband, so aren't we sisters from now on? Rounding down, aren't we already good sisters?" Orange said matter-of-factly.
Ye Nanxiao wanted to reach out and ruffle Ju Zi's hair to show her some wonderful colors, but then he remembered that the Fire Phoenix Douluo was still guarding outside, so he stopped.
"How many evil spirit masters do you estimate are hiding in the Mingdou Mountains?"
"There are at least a thousand people, but this group was hiding in the Mingdou Mountains before I arrived. Although I discovered many signs of evil spirit masters' activities after I came here, they were all in border cities."
"And before Twelve Nights, we intercepted a letter of superstition from the Holy Spirit Cult. The attack mission failed, and the adults were seriously injured and beyond medical help. Was it Taotie Douluo who did it?" Orange said. "After I intercepted that secret letter, it spontaneously combusted within half a day."
Upon hearing that the letter had spontaneously combusted, Ye Nanxiao's first thought was that the letter contained an insurance mechanism—the Holy Spirit Cult's insurance mechanism, which was very dangerous.
Ye Nanxiao reached out and grasped Ju Zi's wrist, scanning her body with his soul power, but found nothing unusual.
"The soul power check is fine, but what about the soul power?"
Wisps of hazy light rose from Ye Nanxiao's body, enveloping her under Ju Zi's curious gaze.
"It's warm, like the steam from a hot spring." Orange curiously reached out and stirred the gray mist.
"Don't move, let me see your soul." Ye Nanxiao's gray eyes swept over every inch of Ju Zi's soul and indeed found a wisp of thin black mist.
"You idiot, you dare to touch something from the Holy Spirit Cult? Aren't you afraid of death?" Ye Nanxiao pulled out the wisp of black mist from Ju Zi's soul and threw it into the Soul-Shocking Bell to kill it.
Suddenly, a sharp scream rang in Ye Nanxiao's ears.
Orange's expression was rather grim. She hadn't expected the Holy Spirit Cult to have such a terrifying trap. She had clearly asked Fire Phoenix Douluo to check it out that day, but he hadn't found anything unusual.
The fact that even the Fire Phoenix Douluo couldn't see through the technique filled Ju Zi with deep apprehension.
"Is this a method that attaches itself to the soul?" Orange asked.
The latest novel is first published here!
Ye Nanxiao nodded slightly. "The Holy Spirit Cult's most common method is targeting the soul. They collect vengeful spirits in order to target the soul. I'll draw a circle for you. If you encounter an evil soul master again, go back and have Bone Robe examine you."
"Draw a circle?" Orange keenly caught Ye Nanxiao's words.
She looked at Ye Nanxiao and suddenly noticed that his pupils had turned gray, as if she had fallen into a silent world.
Ye Nanxiao chanted a few incantations, and suddenly a pale blue illusory arm rose from his left arm; that was Ye Nanxiao's soul.
Orange stared blankly as Ye Nanxiao's arm suddenly grew out and entered her body, followed by a warm feeling in her chest.
"By the way, you didn't bring Gu Yi with you this time?" Ye Nanxiao asked. Ye Gu Yi was playing the role of Ju Zi's sword attendant, and as a bodyguard, she should have been with Ju Zi.
Orange paused for a moment, her expression somewhat grave, and said, "A lot has happened in the border city. Evil Soul Masters are hunting there. If Bone Robe sees this, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop her."
Seeing Ju Zi's expression, Ye Nanxiao instantly understood what she meant. His pupils widened in shock. Xu Tianran had truly made the decision to sacrifice the people on the border for his own ambition!
What a ruthless emperor! He truly lived up to the saying, "If the throne is in the way, everything else can be abandoned."
The two fell silent instantly.
After spending some time, Ye Nanxiao added a shield to Ju Zi's soul, enabling it to withstand one attack targeting the soul.
"When did you learn this? Besides me, who else have you shown it to?" Orange gripped Ye Nanxiao's hand tightly and asked somewhat urgently.
"Don't worry, it's not a trick of evil soul masters. The soul is not the exclusive domain of evil soul masters." Ye Nanxiao understood what Ju Zi was really worried about. Manipulating the soul, in today's world, is the epitome of evil soul masters.
Ju Zi stared intently at Ye Nanxiao, and only when she met his clear gaze did the unease in her heart slowly subside.
"That's good, that bastard fox scares me every time I see you," Orange said resentfully.
"Actually, I was just kidding you. You're so easy to fool." Ye Nanxiao suddenly put on a wicked smile, just like Ju Zi said, trying to scare him.
Ju Zi was slightly taken aback, then rushed into Ye Nanxiao's arms and hugged him tightly.
"If you want to fall into depravity, then I'll fall into depravity with you."
"I need nothing but you."
Ye Nanxiao had considered that Ju Zi might punch him, or conjure a purple-skinned orange and throw it at him, or even curse him for being so bored as to make such a joke, but the situation before him was something Ye Nanxiao had not anticipated.
Feeling the soft warmth in his arms, he gently patted the little orange cat in his arms. "This time you didn't realize I was joking."
"Because I wasn't joking."
"Hmm? You've decided to stick with me like this? Let's make it clear first, you have to wash my socks." Ye Nanxiao joked.
"Fine, I'll wash it! Anyway, I'm married to you, so I'm going to serve you." Orange snorted.
After embracing for a while, Orange started wriggling restlessly again.
"I remember you keep all your hidden weapons in your storage ring, not on your person, right?" Orange reached out and grabbed the hidden weapon that was poking her.
"That's not necessarily true, it depends on my mood." Ye Nanxiao looked up at the ceiling. "Stop playing around, we've been here long enough. If we don't leave soon, your bodyguards will be bursting in."
"Stay a little longer, I really miss you."
Fire Phoenix Douluo silently calculated the time and felt that it seemed to have been a bit long. Standing at the door of the stone chamber, he hesitated whether to push the door open. Although Orange was skilled in soul tool technology, her own martial soul was not particularly strong.
"Grandma Fire Phoenix, pass on my order: take the messenger and have the mastiff treat him well." Orange's voice came out, and then Ye Nanxiao opened the door.
Fire Phoenix Douluo glanced inside and saw Ju Zi calmly sipping her tea, seemingly unharmed. He nodded and said coldly to Ye Nanxiao, "Come with me, and remember to keep your eyes open on the way!"
