After finishing his words, Li Jian didn’t forget to give a few teammates around him a look, signaling them to come over and help persuade her. freeweɓnøvel.com
But to their dismay, instead of calming Wang Yating down, their few words only angered her even more.
She couldn’t accept that after fighting so hard for a whole day, Ye Ming hadn’t even offered her a word of greeting.
"A momentary victory means nothing, Instructor Ye is right. There are many more competitions to come, everyone must stay alert!" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Wang Yating said with a grim look on her face.
Everyone became silent as if chilled to the bone, obediently nodding their heads, not daring to utter any superfluous words.
Because they had already clearly sensed the presence of killing intent.
Li Jian shrank his neck and exchanged a glance with Xu Xincheng, commenting, "The captain has so much resentment in her heart. Xincheng, I think you should go and talk to your brother-in-law."
Xu Xincheng became instantly indignant and quickly denied it, "He’s not my brother-in-law! Don’t talk nonsense."
That’s what he said, but in his heart, Xu Xincheng had gradually accepted Ye Ming.
...
When Ye Ming returned to the room, he felt a twinge of pain in his heart.
Xu Lele lay on the bed with an expression of pain, eyes closed, constantly muttering Ye Ming’s name. It seemed she was having a nightmare.
Moreover, due to her frail condition, she was covered in sweat, which had soaked through the sheets.
Ye Ming approached her, took her hand, and said softly in her ear, "Don’t be afraid, I am always with you."
With those words, Xu Lele’s emotions finally stabilized a bit, but the pained expression on her face did not diminish.
After examining her, Ye Ming found that Xu Lele’s condition had become even weaker, describable as hanging by a thread.
The Life Chain Ye Ming had created for her had completely lost effect and broken. Now, the only thing sustaining Xu Lele’s life was the bit of power remaining within her own body.
"Lele, don’t worry, you’re going to get better soon!"
Ye Ming said through clenched teeth, his hatred for Lin Guisan growing even stronger.
However, the main culprit, Lin Guisan, was already killed by him, and Ye Ming was very clear that now was not the time for complaints—he needed to make Xu Lele better as soon as possible.
Ye Ming took out several beads and placed them in front of Xu Lele.
These were the Demon Souls he had collected earlier that day.
He planned to use the Soul Transfer Spell to channel these Demon Souls into Xu Lele’s body, helping her to rebuild her body.
After circulating his True Qi, a golden light enveloped all the Demon Souls, merging them into one.
From these Demon Souls, Ye Ming could clearly feel immense soul power, and also lingering resentment.
Because they were innocently killed by Ye Ming, their resentment was deep, and it took him a great deal of effort to dispel these grudges, otherwise, the souls might have negatively affected Xu Lele upon entering her body.
Half an hour later, Ye Ming was drenched in sweat, but thankfully, the Demon Souls had been completely purified, the resentments thoroughly cleared, with the soul power still intact.
All the Demon Souls merged into a beam of golden light and entered Xu Lele’s body.
In her sleep, Xu Lele’s struggles began to subside gradually, and her frown slowly eased.
The fused demon souls entered Xu Lele’s body, beginning to assist in repairing her badly damaged organs and support her spirit.
After the process ended, Ye Ming tried to call Xu Lele awake, but he discovered that no matter how he shouted, Xu Lele remained in her slumber.
After trying to no avail, Ye Ming stopped.
Perhaps, letting her stay asleep for the time being would preserve her limited spiritual strength and help repair the internal injuries.
When he checked her body again, Ye Ming found that, despite the infusion of so many demon souls, Xu Lele’s condition had not improved significantly.
Ye Ming’s efforts were akin to trying to extinguish a burning cartload of firewood with a cup of water.
Luckily, he was not disheartened, knowing that seeing some effect would encourage him further.
To truly restore Xu Lele to normal, a Great Demon’s Soul was needed.
These ordinary demon souls were of minimal effect.
Although difficult, Ye Ming was very confident that he could achieve it.
So, he made a phone call to Inoue Harusame, speaking in a cold tone, "Help me find the largest temple in Neon City, I need to slay a great demon!"
"Yes, Mr. Ye!" Inoue Harusame responded respectfully over the phone: "The largest temple in Neon City is the Nine Lives Cat Temple, located on the outskirts!"
"Tell them to prepare for their demise!" Ye Ming said before hanging up the phone.
...
Late at night, in the Neon City Suburbs, above a river, stood a gigantic temple.
This was Neon City’s largest temple, the Nine Lives Cat Temple.
The temple had a massive cat head hanging above it, devoid of any cute features, and the entire temple emanated a thick aura of evil.
Within the Nine Lives Cat Temple, various temple guards and goddesses gathered to express the grievances they experienced that day.
"Great Lord Wada, you have no idea how ferocious that man from Dragon Country was today, showing complete disregard for our faith, and even slaying our worshipped deity!"
"He didn’t just kill, he extracted the soul too, using extremely cruel methods never seen before; he’s coming for us!"
"Great Lord Wada, you must stand up for us, this man from Dragon Country must be slain, otherwise, our faith will be lost, and Neon City will surely fall into chaos!"
The temple guards and goddesses began to discuss fervently, the hall buzzing with activity, and their topic of discussion was none other than Ye Ming’s actions from that day.
Complaints filled the Nine Lives Cat Temple.
Wada Nanako, as the Goddess of the Nine Lives Cat Temple, was also one of the most distinguished individuals in Neon City.
Her brows furrowed in shock, she too found the situation unbelievable.
"How can there be such a person? I don’t recall us offending anyone from Dragon Country recently, what exactly is he after?" Wada Nanako wondered.
Nanako hurriedly approached, saying to Wada Nanako, "Great Lord Wada, I know, he wants to refine our worshipped deity into a soul for his own use, his methods are abhorrent!"
"I suspect he is practicing some kind of Evil Cultivation Method, otherwise, he wouldn’t resort to methods that are terrifying to even hear of!"
Nanako suffered the greatest losses, not only was her reputation ruined, but the spirit of the crow deity she offered worship to had also been extracted, and she lost a magician; she had now become homeless.
In describing Ye Ming, she started to exaggerate, intentionally fueling hatred, saying, "I guess, his purpose is likely to take over our faith, to make himself our object of worship!"
