Chapter 80 Xiao Xiao: Where did this unexpected gift come from?!
Hearing Na'er's words, Jiang Ci'an shook his head: "How could I possibly let you go?"
Na'er's face immediately fell. According to the common knowledge that her original self had given her, most of the 100,000-year-old soul beasts in similar situations to hers were killed directly once captured by human soul masters, becoming their soul rings and soul bones.
But she really didn't want to die.
She'd only been self-aware for a few months, and hadn't had enough of enjoying it yet; she didn't want it to end like this...
Unconsciously gripping the hem of her skirt, she gritted her teeth, looking desperate, "Can you spare my life? I...I'll do anything!"
Jiang Ci'an looked at her, blinked, and couldn't help but chuckle. "Don't worry, you have the essence of the Silver Dragon King within you. I wouldn't just kill you directly; that would be too wasteful."
Na'er immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good. I thought you were going to do something else..."
Her words trailed off as she suddenly remembered something. If she remembered correctly, a small number of soul beasts that transformed into human form were captured by some "far-sighted" soul masters and treated as breeding machines, ruthlessly producing many talented offspring. Once they were almost exhausted, they were killed and their soul rings and soul bones were used to create soul rings and soul bones.
She immediately jumped to her feet, covering her chest with both hands and exclaimed, "I won't do this!"
"————"
Jiang Ci'an didn't say anything. He just looked her up and down, his gaze lingering for a moment on the spot she was covering, and then, "Heh."
Na'er: ? ? ?
What did you mean by "heh"?
Na'er's fist hardened instantly, but just as she was about to lash out, she felt her slightly burning lower abdomen and her movements froze.
Her cheeks puffed out, but she still didn't dare to speak. She just stared at Jiang Ci'an with resentful eyes, as if she was trying to kill him with her gaze.
Jiang Ci'an smiled and slowly stood up. "Alright, let's go. It's lunchtime. Let's eat first, and then I'll figure out what's really going on with you."
Na'er was taken aback, but she accurately captured the key words.
"Have a meal?"
Jiang Ci'an nodded.
Na'er immediately jumped up from her chair. Since becoming a prisoner was a fait accompli and there was no way to resist, then...
Let's eat first.
Thinking this, she took the lead and walked out of the secret room.
Jiang Ci'an watched her retreating figure, his gaze pausing slightly. Did that Silver Dragon King really put effort into creating this half-body of his? Why does it seem... he's not very bright?
After a while.
The dinner table.
Jiang Ci'an, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong'er all fell silent as they watched Na'er devour her food with gusto.
Wang Dong'er was amazed by Na'er's incredible appetite.
Looking at Na'er's face, which was still excessively beautiful even though she was eating without any regard for her image, Xiao Xiao instinctively felt a sense of vigilance.
No, where did this come from?!
Didn't I say I was going out to Jiubaoge to buy some things? How come I came back with such a pretty young girl by my side?!
Xiao Xiao pursed her lips, lost her appetite, put down her chopsticks and quietly moved closer to Jiang Ci'an, then reached out and poked his waist.
Jiang Ci'an paused, turned around, and asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Xiao?"
Xiao Xiao asked with a serious expression, "Who is she?"
Jiang Ci'an blinked, clearly sensing a sour taste, as if a whole bottle of vinegar had been poured into that sentence.
He paused, carefully considering his words, "Her name is Na'er. I happened to find her when I came back, so I guess you could say that."
"My new little maid?"
Xiao Xiao frowned.
Did you just happen to find it?
Are things this pretty something that you can just pick up anywhere?
And a little maid...
Xiao Xiao paused for a moment, then couldn't help but exclaim, "...Isn't that just a maidservant who shares the bed with you?!"
"————"
Jiang Ci'an said with a hint of helplessness, "It's not what you think..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Xiao looked at him intently, gripping his hand tightly, her eyes filled with an inexplicable determination: "If Ci An really wants to..."
"I...I can do it too!"
'
'
You can't do that! You'll get electrocuted!
He took a deep breath, raised his hand, and tapped his little childhood sweetheart on the head in an annoyed tone, "Don't think about strange things."
"Hmm..."
Xiao Xiao remained silent, one hand covering her head where she had been hit, yet she stubbornly stared at him, refusing to look away.
Jiang Ci'an looked at her and sighed, "It's not what you think. She's a bit special and can be of some help to me, so this is serious business."
""
Xiao Xiao remained silent.
She stared intently at her childhood sweetheart for a long while before slowly shifting her gaze and turning her head away.
Xiao Xiao: (>)
She knew that her childhood sweetheart wouldn't lie to her.
In other words, it really wasn't what she thought.
But she is still very unhappy.
Even if Dong'er has some issues, it's fine, but at least she's right under her nose and she can keep an eye on her every day. She's confident that Dong'er can't cause any trouble.
But why is there something falling from the sky?
Xiao Xiao fell into deep thought.
After dinner, Jiang Ci'an's original plan to test Na'er was disrupted by Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao pulled him and Dong'er into the room, saying that they should work hard to cultivate and break through as soon as possible.
His tone was serious, his expression solemn, leaving them no room to refuse.
Jiang Ci'an had no choice but to agree, and arranged for Na'er to stay in a room to rest, putting the plan on hold for the night.
After that, he cultivated with Xiao Xiao, who looked very serious, and Dong'er, who looked somewhat resigned to death, for a whole night until the next day.
-
The next day, early in the morning.
Under Xiao Xiao's unhappy gaze, Jiang Ci'an, carrying the still-sleepy Na'er, slowly walked into the secret room.
Inside the secret chamber, the white light from the soul-guiding lamp illuminated the entire chamber as if it were daytime.
Na'er was being dragged along by Jiang Ci'an, and she wasn't fully awake yet. Her long silver hair was messily scattered on her shoulders, and her purple eyes were half-open and half-closed, like a cat being dragged out of bed.
"Can't you let me rest a little longer...?"
Na'er mumbled a protest, to which Jiang Ci'an simply replied calmly, "What right do you have to rest?"
What a heartless boss who exploits his employees!
Na'er couldn't help but complain in her heart, but she dared not say it. She could only puff out her cheeks and stare at the guy resentfully. But the next moment, she was put down.
She glanced around and saw several dusty gray stones arranged in a hexagonal pattern around her, forming a neat array that enveloped her.
Na'er was a little confused. "What are you doing?"
Jiang Ci'an adjusted the awakening formation, "Awakening your martial soul."
Na'er was taken aback. "I still have a martial spirit?"
"I shared my human-like Soul Master talent with you through a 'Blood Pact'... By the way, your body is quite strange. You're clearly human, but you don't have a Martial Soul, and you need me to share it for you to awaken it."
Jiang Ci paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Is your true form really that wary of you?"
"I..."
Na'er paused, then fell silent.
