Chapter 57: Blood Soul Master? Evil Soul Master!
"This..."
As soon as Hu Liena spoke, Zhu Zhuqing was instantly dumbfounded.
She had considered many possibilities, but she never imagined that the noble and arrogant Saint of the Spirit Hall would actually say such a thing.
And Zhou Chen was also dumbfounded. He had never imagined that happiness would arrive so suddenly; it was as if he were living in a dream.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Hu Liena smiled, sat down directly beside Zhu Zhuqing, took her hand, and said softly, "Sister Zhuqing, do you love Zhou Chen?"
"I do. For him, I am willing to give everything." Zhu Zhuqing nodded and said firmly.
Hearing this, Hu Liena said with a smile, "Then if you love him, you should embrace all of him. Don't you think that's right?"
"It is."
Zhu Qing nodded somewhat blankly. She felt that something was a bit off.
Seeing that the innocent Zhu Zhuqing had fallen into her trap, Hu Liena finally revealed her true colors.
She said with a serious expression, "Sister Zhuqing, since you will embrace all of Zhou Chen, then you should tolerate his great love and accept his other girlfriends, right? Don't you agree?"
"I..."
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned. She wanted to object, but in her heart, she actually felt that what Hu Liena said made a lot of sense.
To love him is to embrace all of him. This statement was truly something she could not refute.
After a long silence, the bewildered Zhu Zhuqing finally nodded and said, "You're right. Then, between us..."
"Between us, of course, we will coexist peacefully and be Zhou Chen's girlfriends together."
Hu Liena said with a beaming smile, "From now on, we will address each other as sisters. I'm a few years older than you, so you can call me Sister Na, and I will call you Sister Zhuqing. How about that?"
"Alright, Sister Na."
Zhu Zhuqing, still in a daze, nodded blankly, feeling that the situation was extremely bizarre.
Weren't they at each other's throats just a moment ago? Now they were sisters?
Seeing that she had completely fooled Zhu Zhuqing, Hu Liena covered her mouth and snickered, looking just like a little fox whose treacherous plan had succeeded.
However, when Zhu Zhuqing's bewildered gaze fell upon her, she immediately put on a very serious expression.
"Sister Zhuqing, come, I have a few secret words to tell you. We can't let this big bad wolf, Zhou Chen, hear."
After saying this intimately, Hu Liena once again took Zhu Zhuqing's jade-like hand and led her into a bedroom, shutting the door with a "bang."
As for Zhou Chen, he was already full of admiration for Hu Liena at this moment.
What a pity that Hu Liena had all the skills for picking up girls, but was a girl herself...
After some time, there was a "click" as the bedroom door opened. Hu Liena led Zhu Zhuqing back into the living room.
The two were now arm in arm, their postures intimate, whispering secrets into each other's ears, having clearly become a pair of best friends.
Zhou Chen looked at the two girls and said gently, "Nana, Zhuqing, how did your talk go?"
"Hmph, you still have the nerve to ask?"
Hu Liena snorted and complained, "The two of us are making things easy for you, and it turns out you have a third one!"
"Where is this coming from, Nana!"
Zhou Chen immediately stood up and shouted, "Heaven and earth as my witness, I only have you two."
"Ning Rongrong." Zhu Zhuqing said coldly from the side.
At these words, Zhou Chen said nothing more and sat back down on the sofa.
He simply had no way to refute it.
Although he and Ning Rongrong did not have a substantive relationship, any fool could see Ning Rongrong's feelings for him.
As for his feelings toward Ning Rongrong... even if he didn't want to, the system, which was crazily short of gold soul coins, would force him to be a kept man.
After all, Ning Rongrong was the number one heiress on the Douluo Continent, with a net worth of over a hundred million gold soul coins! That was enough for the system to level up several times.
Seeing Zhou Chen remain silent, Hu Liena glanced at Zhu Zhuqing. The two of them sat down, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiching Zhou Chen between them.
Instantly, a cold sweat broke out on Zhou Chen.
Just as Zhou Chen was wondering how to muddle his way through, a figure suddenly appeared before the three of them. It was Hu Liena's guardian, that female Soul Saint above level 70.
"What is it? Is there an urgent matter?"
Seeing the female Soul Saint appear, Hu Liena's expression immediately turned serious.
She knew that if it were not urgent, this female Soul Saint would never barge into the room without her permission.
"Your Holiness, our people have found the trail of those Blood Soul Masters. They are in the city of Siliesi..."
As she spoke, the female Soul Saint paused, looking hesitantly at Zhou Chen and Zhu Zhuqing.
Seeing the female Soul Saint's hesitant expression, Hu Liena raised her delicate eyebrows and said sternly, "These two are people I can trust completely. Whatever news you have, you need not hide it. Speak."
Hearing this, the female Soul Saint no longer hesitated and said directly, "Those Blood Soul Masters are currently in the southwest corner of the city. They have built an altar underground there."
"Are you certain?"
Hu Liena rose to her feet abruptly, her expression changing as her face grew quite serious.
"Certain."
The female Soul Saint nodded and continued, "According to our people's observations, the altar will be completed within three days. If we cannot stop them in time, I fear the entire city of Siliesi will be devastated."
"Three days... there is still time."
Hu Liena calculated for a moment, then said, "At the latest tomorrow night, my brother will bring the experts from the Pope Hall. We will then directly attack the Blood Soul Masters' lair and annihilate them!"
After speaking, Hu Liena waved her hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You may go now."
"As you command."
The female Soul Saint bowed, her fifth soul ring flickered, and she vanished into thin air.
Seeing the female Soul Saint leave, Zhou Chen, who was very curious about the matter, immediately asked, "Nana, what is the deal with these Blood Soul Masters?"
"This is a secret sealed within the Spirit Hall. Originally, I should not have told you. But since you are my husband..."
She gave Zhou Chen a flirtatious look, then continued, "These Blood Soul Masters are very terrifying. Unlike us normal Soul Masters, who rely on ourselves to cultivate, they rely on devouring the soul power, soul rings, flesh and blood, and even souls of others to practice! They even cultivate by devouring the martial souls of others!"
"Although these fellows have never been a major threat, they cannot be wiped out, no matter how many are killed. From the founding of the Spirit Hall until now, we have been hunting them for over ten thousand years, yet Blood Soul Masters continue to appear."
Hearing this, Zhou Chen was completely baffled.
Weren't these the Evil Soul Masters that appeared on a large scale in the second Douluo novel, Unrivaled Tang Clan?
