Chapter 158 The Troublesome Brigitte
In those emerald green eyes, the tenderness was so captivating that Ye Nanxiao couldn't help but want to succumb to it.
Ye Nanxiao quickly averted his gaze, lowered his eyes, and smiled, "I wonder what it is, sister? I'd be happy to listen. I'm well-trained and will definitely keep listening."
"That would be perfect." Brigitte looked at Ye Nanxiao meaningfully and smiled slightly.
Biji led Ye Nanxiao aimlessly through the forest, with Ye Nanxiao always lagging behind Biji by a step.
The aquamarine dress perfectly outlined Brigitte's slender and voluptuous figure, and her wings, carved from the purest emeralds, were full of life, making her look like a goddess of nature.
"Is Di Tian secretly watching this place?" Ye Nanxiao worried. What if that black dragon swatted him to death with one claw?
"You must have another purpose for coming to Xingdou this time," Biji asked, turning her head.
Ye Nanxiao wore a standard smile and answered Bi Ji's question honestly, "Yes."
"Surprisingly honest." Brigitte was slightly surprised, then turned to Ye Nanxiao and asked, "Aren't you curious how I knew?"
Ye Nanxiao spread his hands and said straightforwardly, "I'm curious, but I think you'll tell me. After all, you didn't tell Di Tian and the others either."
If Brigitte had told Di Tian, then the creature beside her now might be that muscular, bruiser bear.
Ye Nanxiao pretended to be calm on the surface, but in reality he had already begun to be wary of Bi Ji. He subtly observed his surroundings out of the corner of his eye, judging the escape route.
"You're quite clever." Brigitte walked closer to Ye Nanxiao, reached out and touched his head. Her small hand paused slightly before she ruffled Ye Nanxiao's hair.
Brigitte complained slightly, "Why did you put your ears back? They don't feel as comfortable to touch as before."
"You're fierce, so you're right," Ye Nanxiao kept telling himself that he couldn't beat the voluptuous and graceful beauty in front of him for the time being. There's a saying that goes, if you can't resist, then try to enjoy it.
Brigitte was tall and slender, about half a head taller than Ye Nanxiao. She bent slightly so that her eyes were level with Ye Nanxiao's.
From Ye Nanxiao's perspective, even the worldly-wise Ye Fox couldn't help but sigh, "What a fierce dumpling."
Ye Nanxiao looked up slightly at Bi Ji, who was half a head taller than him. He looked at the smiling Bi Ji, then turned his head away, thinking, "I'm still growing. Once I'm fully developed, I'll crush you with one hand."
Seeing the slight dissatisfaction on Ye Nanxiao's face, Biji couldn't help but pinch Ye Nanxiao's cheek.
"Alright, what exactly do you want?" Ye Nanxiao asked impatiently, swatting away Bi Ji's hand that was playfully touching his face.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to go for a walk," Brigitte said playfully, her hands behind her back and her head tilted slightly.
Ye Nanxiao stared at Bi Ji with a forced smile, his eyes conveying the message, "I don't believe it."
"The little fox isn't cute anymore," Brigitte sighed softly.
Biji walked to Ye Nanxiao's side again, reached out and stroked Ye Nanxiao's face, and asked, "Are you a soul beast or a human?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao's pupils constricted, and he was greatly shocked. He had been hiding it so well all along.
Looking at the complex expression on Brigitte's face, Ye Nanxiao smiled bitterly and took two steps back, a chill rising from his body, a faint red light flashing in his eyes. "You already have the answer in your heart, don't you?"
"Are you human?" Brigitte's beautiful eyes were filled with complex emotions. Her jade hand hovered in the air as she looked at Ye Nanxiao in silence.
Biji wasn't sure if Ye Nanxiao was human, but the life energy she sensed from him was beyond her comprehension; it was something she had never felt from any other soul beast.
Ye Nanxiao lowered his gaze, and a chill began to emanate from his body.
The atmosphere between the two suddenly became tense.
"Why were they discovered? When?" Ye Nanxiao asked, puzzled.
Xue Di sighed softly, then floated up and flew to the sky above Ye Nanxiao's spiritual sea.
"Beauty is no simpleton, Xiao'er. The Ten Ferocious Beasts are not a place that some naive and innocent girl can be ranked in."
Xue Di emanated a faint blue light, and surging power flowed within Ye Nanxiao's body.
After a long silence, Biji sighed and said, "I can sense that you have no ill intentions towards the soul beasts, and I am willing to believe you."
Ye Nanxiao raised his head and stared directly at Bi Ji, his eyes filled with a sharp intent. The chill around him grew stronger and stronger, and an ice blade slowly appeared in his hand.
Unmoved, Brigitte felt the biting cold, and a captivating smile bloomed on her beautiful face.
Ye Nanxiao slowly walked up to Bi Ji, raised the ice blade in his hand, and placed it against Bi Ji's neck.
"Ranked fourth among the Ten Ferocious Beasts, the Emerald Swan, aren't you afraid I'll kill you and take your soul ring and soul bone?" Ye Nanxiao said coldly.
"Okay." Brigitte grasped Ye Nanxiao's sword-wielding hands with both hands and brought the ice blade close to her neck.
Looking at Brigitte with her eyes closed and a smile on her lips, Ye Nanxiao gritted his teeth, released the ice blades, withdrew his own chill, and sighed, "How did you recognize me?"
After the recent probing, Ye Nanxiao confirmed that Bi Ji had not told Di Tian and the other soul beasts about his affairs. Otherwise, based on Ye Nanxiao's action of holding a knife to Bi Ji's neck just now, Di Tian would have killed him.
"My true form is an emerald swan, and my perception of life energy is beyond your imagination. I pay close attention to you, especially your life energy," Brigitte said with a faint smile.
"What do you want?" Ye Nanxiao asked helplessly.
"I only realized it when I saw you last time. Now, I'd like to know more about you, little fox," Brigitte said.
"Ah, please allow me to take my leave first." Ye Nanxiao said, turning around to run away.
A flash of green light appeared before his eyes, and Bi Ji stood smiling in front of Ye Nanxiao, reaching out her hands to vigorously rub Ye Nanxiao's face. "Naughty, little fox."
"Xiao'er, you can't escape now. Just cooperate obediently. Biji is kind-hearted and easy to talk to." Xue Di lay back on the beanbag chair and laughed gleefully.
"Xue'er, did you know Biji before?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
"We know each other, but it's not a good memory." A blush appeared on Xue Di's face.
Ye Nanxiao immediately sensed that there was some gossip going on, with a hint of juicy romance, but Xue Di remained silent.
"Little fox, are you human or a spirit beast?" Biji asked.
"Don't you already have the answer?" Ye Nanxiao asked in return.
"It's just a guess. I'd like to hear it from you yourself; that would be more believable," Brigitte said with a smile.
"Aren't you afraid I'll lie to you?" Ye Nanxiao asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I believe in the little fox," Brigitte said with a smile.
Ye Nanxiao suddenly understood Xue Di's feelings; in a sense, Bi Ji was indeed difficult to deal with.
"I can be a soul beast, or I can be a human." Ye Nanxiao looked down at his palm, and as he spoke, soul rings appeared on his body.
"I can't tell you my purpose for coming to Xingdou for now, but I have no ill intentions towards Xingdou." Ye Nanxiao finished speaking and withdrew his soul ring.
"Why do I always feel a sense of familiarity about you?" Brigitte asked, frowning slightly.
"I don't know." Ye Nanxiao doesn't dare to reveal Xue Di's existence yet.
"Little fox? Can you turn back into your original form?" Brigitte asked.
"Not right now, I'm a little injured," Ye Nanxiao said, turning his head away and making up an excuse.
"I see. Well then," Bi Ji looked at Ye Nanxiao deeply, placed her jade hand on Ye Nanxiao's forehead, and a soft emerald green light shone from her body.
Ye Nanxiao was still somewhat wary, but the energy in Bi Ji's hand ignored his defenses, and a surge of life force emanated from Bi Ji's hand.
An unprecedented feeling of comfort spread throughout his body, allowing Ye Nanxiao to relax his mind and body. Every cell in his body was greedily absorbing the life energy from Bi Ji's hands.
Within the sea of spirit, the Snow Emperor's expression was complex; blue light gathered in her hands and then dissipated.
The giant fox slightly opened its mouth, absorbing all the life energy that surged into Ye Nanxiao's body. Its body shone brightly with red light, and strands of red light merged into Ye Nanxiao's body, strengthening his power.
Sensing the growing power within Ye Nanxiao, the Snow Empress reached out and manipulated it, muttering to herself, "This is quite a gift. What exactly is Biji planning?"
Sensing the terrifying aura about to erupt within him, Ye Nanxiao forcefully stopped the power that was about to burst forth.
Awakening from this intoxicating feeling, she voluntarily removed Brigitte's jade hand from her head and asked warily, "What do you want?"
Brigitte frowned and asked, "There's a mysterious power within you. Is it a power you've sealed away?"
Ye Nanxiao blinked and said, "Guess?"
"Hmm?" Bi Ji raised an eyebrow and reached out her delicate hand to pinch Ye Nanxiao's face.
"I'm busy, so I'll take my leave now." Ye Nanxiao turned and left. Bi Ji's troublesome nature had exceeded her expectations.
This time, Biji did not stop Ye Nanxiao.
Looking in the direction where Ye Nanxiao disappeared, Bi Ji frowned and muttered to herself, "It's very close to the life energy fluctuations of humans, but it has the body of a beast. It's a pity that there are too few legends about nine-tailed foxes, so it's impossible to verify. I hope you won't be on my side."
"And there's a sense of familiarity within the little fox. What's going on?"
Biji stood there for a while, then glanced in the direction Ye Nanxiao had left before transforming into a streak of emerald light and flying towards the core area of Star Dou.
However, Brigitte was not heading in the direction of the Lake of Life where the black dragon resided.
"Xue'er, have you been discovered?" Ye Nanxiao asked as he floated toward the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"It's alright, Biji's cultivation level is still far behind mine," Xue Di said. "But you'll need to find a place to cultivate in seclusion for a while when you get back. Biji has given you a very generous gift."
"You're right, Brigitte is quite difficult to deal with, I wonder what her motives are." This time, Ye Nanxiao agreed to Xue Di's arrangement.
Next time, I must bring the fox den with me, otherwise I might be scared to death by this silent swan one day!
Ye Nanxiao secretly resolved that he needed to take his ability to conceal his aura to a higher level.
Shrek Academy.
"Nannan, how are you feeling? Have you finished absorbing the soul bone? How are you feeling?" Cai Meier asked.
Jiang Nannan's pretty face was full of happiness. She nodded vigorously and said joyfully, "I've absorbed it all. I feel great."
"Okay, let's give it a try." Cai Meier led Jiang Nannan to a training area, put her hands behind her back, and looked at Jiang Nannan with a calm expression.
"Alright, Dean, be careful." Jiang Nannan's martial soul was activated, and her pale golden eyes turned slightly pink, giving her already stunning beauty a touch of allure. Combined with the allure talent inherent in her Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul, even Cai Meier was unconsciously drawn to her.
Although Cai Meier's martial soul was not possessed, her strength was still at the Super Douluo level. She returned to normal within a second after Jiang Nannan released her charm.
Cai Meier nodded and said, "Not bad, next one."
Jiang Nannan emitted a faint blue light from her right foot as she leaped high into the air, her right foot firmly planted on the air as if there were an invisible staircase beneath her feet. Jiang Nannan gradually increased her height.
A glint flashed in Cai Meier's eyes, and she nodded, saying, "Very good. Both the Charm and the Cloud Blue Pattern Sparrow's soul bone are very suitable for you. I will be giving you special training on these two skills soon, so get ready."
"Yes, Dean," Jiang Nannan replied.
"But your boyfriend really dotes on you, even giving you this soul bone with flight ability. Aren't you afraid of losing your position in the family in the future?" Cai Meier teased, looking at Jiang Nannan wiping away her sweat.
Thinking of her mischievous fox, Jiang Nannan's face broke into a bright smile, "No way!"
Above Poseidon Island.
Two figures, one in red and one in gold, collided violently in mid-air, the shockwave dispersing the clouds within a hundred miles.
Yan Shaozhe slightly increased the distance between them and asked with a hint of doubt, "Xiao Tao, you've been really enthusiastic lately?"
Ma Xiaotao raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her face and shouted to Yan Shaozhe, "Again!"
Bathed in phoenix flames, he transformed into a streak of red light and rushed towards Yan Shaozhe.
Although Yan Shaozhe was quite puzzled, he thought it was a good thing that Ma Xiaotao was training hard, so he didn't think too much about it and became Ma Xiaotao's sparring partner.
"Become stronger, even stronger. I want to be his help, I want to catch up with him, I want to stay by his side." Ma Xiaotao had only one thought in her mind: to become stronger and stay by his side.
Inside the Sea God Pavilion, feeling the soul power fluctuations emanating from above, Elder Mu smiled with satisfaction and murmured, "The children are all working very hard. Little Tao has finally figured it out: the only way to keep Ye Nanxiao is to stand by his side. I hope you can keep him for the academy."
Recently, Ma Xiaotao was in a low mood, so she was summoned by Elder Mu. Ma Xiaotao is not the kind of girl who can keep her feelings to herself, and Elder Mu understood her inner turmoil after a few words.
"Ye Nanxiao is the owner of the ultimate ice, and he is destined to stand at the pinnacle of the Soul Master world. What you need to do is stand by his side." Elder Mu's words made Ma Xiaotao completely realize the truth.
Subsequently, the Phoenix Girl unleashed her inner determination and doubled her training.
"Xiao Tao, it's good that you're training hard, but you have to do it in moderation. Don't push yourself too hard, please don't! You still need to rest when necessary. It's all about balancing work and rest!" Yan Shaozhe said, looking at the sky as he dodged Ma Xiao Tao, who had transformed into a fire phoenix, once again.
Ma Xiaotao's figure emerged from the fire phoenix. Ma Xiaotao said with displeasure, "Speak human language."
Yan Shaozhe looked embarrassed, coughed twice, and said, "I want to go back and prepare to cook for your teacher's wife."
Ma Xiaotao's face darkened, and the phoenix flames on her body turned incandescent, transforming into a giant fire phoenix that charged towards Yan Shaozhe.
