Chapter 9: Meeting Cai'er, Signing In for the Dragon of Time and Space, This Sword Strike Will Be Cool!
Seeing someone approach, Sheng Cai'er reacted instantly, a purple dagger appearing in her hand.
Like an injured kitten, her fur stood on end, trying to protect herself.
She brandished the dagger, intending to stab the newcomer.
Seeing this, Ye Ling wasn't angry. He knew Sheng Cai'er wouldn't truly strike. He let her act, not panicking even when the dagger was only 3cm away from him, because Sheng Cai'er had already stopped her hand at that moment.
Upon realizing the newcomer wasn't an enemy or someone carrying the aura of an assassin, Sheng Cai'er immediately stopped, just sitting dazedly on the ground, looking at Ye Ling with some confusion, wanting to know his intentions.
Then, she suddenly felt something. Her small face gradually contorted, and she clutched her calf. The movement just now had worsened the wound on her calf.
"Brother Ye!" Suddenly, just then, Long Haochen pushed through the weeds behind them and walked over silently, looking at Ye Ling with a puzzled expression.
When he saw Cai'er, he was completely stunned. Good heavens, what was Brother Ye doing? Bullying a little girl?
Impossible.
Brother Ye couldn't possibly do such a thing. In Long Haochen's mind, Ye Ling had always been the epitome of uprightness.
Suddenly, at that moment, Cai'er grabbed Ye Ling's hand, a look of terror flashing in her eyes, writing: "Brother, quickly take me away. I can't speak, bad people are chasing me."
Hmm...
Such a familiar maneuver.
Ye Ling didn't say much. He immediately bent down and swept Cai'er up in a princess carry. This sudden action completely stunned Cai'er, making her forget all about the pain in her calf.
She didn't know what to say.
[Detected individual with great destiny, Daughter of Samsara with one hundred points of innate internal spiritual energy. Sign-in available. Does the host wish to sign in?]
"Hmm? A sign-in opportunity? Alright." Ye Ling's eyes lit up. He had come here precisely to find a sign-in opportunity. At this time, Long Haochen hadn't awakened his innate internal spiritual energy yet, but Cai'er had!
Unlike Long Haochen and the others, Cai'er's innate internal spiritual energy had been detected when she was three, and now it had directly broken through one hundred.
So, he could sign in directly.
Emmm...
Ai, if only Long Haochen could be successfully signed in for at this time, that would be great. The things that could be signed in from him would surely be better.
However, Ye Ling didn't complain for too long, but silently shouted inwardly: "Sign in."
The next moment, the system responded.
[Host sign-in successful. Obtained Martial Soul: Dragon of Time and Space (Upper Limit Enhanced Version).]
"Dragon of Time and Space?"
"Is this from The Legend of the Dragon King? So, it's possible to sign in for things not just from Douluo 1, but even Douluo 3? By that logic, signing in for things from Douluo 2 shouldn't be a problem either?"
A smile flashed across Ye Ling's mind.
Seriously, back in Douluo 1, there weren't many good things. Apart from a select few, the others could basically be completely crushed by the Shen Yin world!
But the subsequent two installments had plenty of good things!
"Dragon of Time and Space, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the Martial Soul possessed by the agility-type Xie Xie in the third installment. Initially, his Martial Soul was only first-rate at best, but eventually, it fully combined to become the Dragon of Time and Space, ultimately becoming a top-tier God-level Martial Soul, not inferior to the Seraphim."
Ye Ling pondered inwardly.
This was a Martial Soul extremely suitable for assassins. Truly worthy of the Daughter of Samsara, Sheng Cai'er; the things signed in from her were indeed excellent.
However, Ye Ling didn't choose to dwell on it for too long. This wasn't the right time to investigate. He would awaken and use the Martial Soul later.
"Haochen, I know you want to ask many things, but don't ask yet. They will be answered shortly."
Ye Ling spoke calmly, then carried Sheng Cai'er, who wanted to resist but lacked the strength, and retreated. Although Long Haochen was also somewhat confused upon hearing this, he still followed.
Soon, they arrived at a clearing.
Ye Ling placed Cai'er on the ground. At this moment, Cai'er's small face was flushed red, melting away much of her so-called icy demeanor, making her look quite cute.
This was the first time she had been in such close contact with the opposite sex; even her own father hadn't been this close.
"They haven't arrived yet." Looking towards that direction, Ye Ling thought, then directly knelt down and reached out towards Cai'er's cute little foot. To be precise, he wasn't touching her foot, but grasping her ankle, intending to check her wound.
Cai'er's already flushed face turned even redder because of this bold action.
Only Long Haochen watched this scene with incomprehension. He didn't understand, but he knew that this Brother Ye of his definitely had no ill intentions!
"You're injured."
"Don't move around, lest the wound tears open again. I'll treat it for you," Ye Ling said softly. Then, a considerable amount of internal spiritual energy emerged from his hand and entered her body through Cai'er's wound.
Noticing this, Cai'er's eyes widened. She felt some pain, but years of trials had long trained her to endure suffering.
But pain!
Was not the final sensation!
In the next moment, Cai'er was surprised to find her injury gradually recovering. The peculiar sensation felt extremely comfortable to Cai'er, causing her to involuntarily close her eyes and enjoy it.
At a certain point, she even let out comfortable moans.
"Luckily, it's just a superficial wound. If it were a Spiritual Stove injury, that would be troublesome."
Ye Ling shook his head and didn't say much more. While Cai'er was still somewhat dazed, he actually picked her up and carried her on his back. Logically, after recovering, Cai'er should have managed on her own, but for some reason, while Ye Ling was taking care of her, she felt a special sense of security.
It was quite strange.
And in the next moment, rustling sounds came from the forest. Soon, countless wolf demons emerged. Their strength was merely that of ordinary second-rank wolf demons, incomparable to the ones Ye Ling had slain a month ago.
A crimson glint flashed in their eyes, looking as if they had gone berserk.
"Hand over that little girl, and perhaps we can spare your life," the leading wolf demon said.
The moment she saw them, Cai'er's small face turned pale. She gripped her dagger and twisted her body. Although this feeling was strange to her, she still wanted to get down and fight. She didn't believe Ye Ling had the strength to fight all these wolf demons alone!
Even adding Long Haochen wouldn't change things; at least, she didn't think the two of them could fight alone without getting injured!
That's why she wanted to fight alone. Even though some of her strength was sealed, she was still a third-rank assassin before, and now she still had sixty to seventy points of spiritual energy to use. She could still fight.
She didn't want Ye Ling to get hurt.
However, as she struggled, Ye Ling patted her, telling her not to worry, that he would handle it.
But after Ye Ling patted her, Cai'er's small face turned even redder. Ye Ling seemed to have patted a certain soft spot...
"Brother Ye, can you handle it?" Long Haochen looked at Ye Ling. Honestly, he was already itching to make a move. After all, demons were the enemy!
"I can."
Ye Ling drew the Angelic Holy Sword, unleashing its powerful might. The aura of a Spirit Demon level expert was fully released.
Then, a terrifying aura flashed from the sword in his hand, and an extremely brilliant light appeared within it.
"Haochen," Ye Ling called out.
"What is it, Brother Ye?" Long Haochen asked.
"Watch carefully, this sword strike!" Ye Ling began to gather power: "This sword strike will be cool!"
With that said, Ye Ling swung forward, unleashing an extremely brilliant and powerful slash, imbued with a dense aura of light, heading straight for those wolf demons.
Seeing this, the wolf demons panicked.
But it was useless.
The next moment, the slash hit them. Instantly, the nearly one hundred wolf demons all died under Ye Ling's attack, turning into nothingness.
Seeing this, both Long Haochen and Cai'er on Ye Ling's back widened their eyes, staring at the scene in astonishment.
This sword strike!
Was truly cool!
