203: Chapter 203 The Arrogant Prisoner

Huan Wuxing never expected that the young girl before her, who appeared to have been caught in her trap, would suddenly strike back.

She reacted just before Xing Yaoyan's hands could touch her, but she didn't dodge. After all, the gap in their strength was immense, and this girl was merely a newly promoted priest of the Star Cult. Wouldn't it be more interesting to slowly savor the expression of despair on her face once she realized that nothing she did had any effect?

By the way, what did she just shout...

Huan Wuxing was very confident, but soon, her expression changed.

"Wait, no... how could you..."

The moment Xing Yaoyan's hands touched her body, she felt her entire being instantly go limp. All the power within her body felt as if it had been completely shackled by something from a higher dimension.

"As I thought... my intuition just now was correct. You really aren't human... you're a Soul..."

Xing Yaoyan looked coldly at the flushed, purple-haired mature beauty before her, who looked as if she had just reached a climax, and spoke in a smug tone.

At the same time, the chair she was sitting on, along with the table and the various items atop it, vanished instantly. Everything had been an illusion.

"It seems the initiative is in my hands now..."

"Star Swallowing Art: Soul Detention" was a fancy name she had specifically come up with during the Amusement Park incident, when she remembered that she originally possessed a function to capture and control Souls.

Back then, this move had allowed her to use the power of two marks to forcefully preserve the Soul of Hu Wang, who had been seeking death. One must remember that the pressure Hu Wang had released at that time was that of a seventh-stage Demon King, yet he was still controlled by her.

She had a premonition then that the binding power of this move over Souls was likely even stronger than she had imagined.

And indeed, this eighth-stage First Seat Priest of the Star Cult was now completely under her control, without even a shred of ability to resist.

"I also didn't expect that the First Seat Priest of the Star Cult would actually be a Soul body... and from the feel of it, there's the aura of a demon, the aura of an Esper, and hmm... the aura of a Star Soul... Are you a public bus? Why is your aura so messy?"

Hearing Xing Yaoyan's blunt words, Huan Wuxing was both ashamed and infuriated. However, upon discovering that she truly couldn't use even a sliver of her power, she could only seethe in impotent rage.

Furthermore, one must realize that the place Xing Yaoyan was currently grabbing was her chest...

"You... could you please grab somewhere else..."

After holding it in for a long time, she could only manage to say this in a slightly pleading tone.

Xing Yaoyan was slightly stunned and immediately noticed her current actions. Because Huan Wuxing had been leaning back against the chair, those two big white rabbits had happened to land right where her hands could reach. To ensure the success of her sneak attack, she hadn't paid much attention to it.

However... looking at it now, it was indeed somewhat inappropriate...

Yet she still didn't move an inch. Who knew if this woman would suddenly strike in the split second she shifted her hands? She couldn't afford to gamble.

But staying in this stalemate forever wasn't an option either; she had to find a way...

With a slight thought, the Power Of Will within Xing Yaoyan's body began to circulate rapidly, and she pushed the Star Swallowing Art to its limit.

In the next moment, as a spiral-shaped ripple surfaced on the purple-haired mature beauty, her figure vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye.

Feeling her aura completely disappear from the environment, Xing Yaoyan breathed a long sigh of relief.

She had originally prepared many backup plans, like sending a message to Tushan Qing in advance to have him send people to rescue her if things went wrong, or telling Qian Mo to have the Security Bureau look for her if there was no news for several hours. After all, compared to exposing her true identity, staying alive was clearly more important...

But now, none of that was necessary. Who would have thought she would actually manage to control the legendary, mysterious, and elusive First Seat Priest of the Star Cult, relying on an information gap that she herself wasn't even entirely sure of?

Xing Yaoyan slowly turned around. The little cat girl was still unconscious on the mattress she had laid out earlier, her brow slightly furrowed as if she were having a nightmare.

Don't ask her why she kept a mattress in her storage space.

If you must know, it was because back in Peach Blossom Spring, she realized that as a girl, there were many things she couldn't just settle for like she did in her past life as a boy. She could wrong anyone, but she couldn't wrong her own sleep.

Actually, come to think of it, this was quite similar to how Qian Mo always carried a medical kit with him...

Wait... we've only been apart for a little while, why am I thinking about him again...

Xing Yaoyan shook her head again and knelt down to gaze at Ying Linglong's sleeping face. She didn't wake her up or rush to leave; instead, she sank her consciousness into her Soul Sea.

Inside the Soul Sea, Xing Yaoyan's Soul avatar floated in the sky. Behind her were four golden Sacred Marks radiating immense power, and standing to her left and right were Little Chaos and Xiao Dao, who had quietly evolved at some unknown point.

Waves of golden Power Of Will swirled around her according to her will, making her look like a golden angel judging the sins of the world.

She looked down from above at this new guest in her Soul Sea and spoke indifferently:

"Huan Wuxing, was it? Explain yourselves. What are all of the Star Cult's plans in Kyoto this time?"

With their positions reversed, her words were clearly much more confident.

"Tch... No."

To her surprise, the newly captured purple-haired mature beauty actually retorted with a look of disdain, as if she weren't afraid at all.

This attitude actually made Xing Yaoyan feel a bit unconfident.

However, after receiving repeated feedback from the Soul Sea, she was certain that Huan Wuxing was unable to use her power while under her control. Only then did she reach out and beckon.

The massive Chaos Beast and the even taller and more handsome Abyss-Severing Beast beside her immediately acted, appearing next to Huan Wuxing in an instant and striking her from both sides.

But... it seemed to have no effect at all...

Even though Xing Yaoyan had signaled them not to use their full strength and only provide a slight punishment, this result still left her a little surprised.

"I'll do it!"

Xing Yaoyan formed a claw with her hand and made a grabbing motion through the air toward the yawning purple-haired mature beauty.

"Star Swallowing Art!"

Despite the grand display of power, it was obvious that the woman's Soul showed no signs of dissipating.

"What's going on? Is that all? And here I thought you were more formidable."

Huan Wuxing looked at the increasingly bright golden light on the girl and her somewhat bewildered expression, immediately mocking her with disdain.

"While you can control me, you can only control me. You want to hurt me? You're twenty thousand years too early!"

Clang!

A giant sword made of golden Power Of Will instantly appeared in Xing Yaoyan's hand, and thin golden armor covered her entire body.

"I don't believe this!"

Because she was within her own Soul Sea, her power suffered no loss whatsoever, so her current might was over ten times stronger than when she used it in the outside world.

"Heaven Splitting!"

In the next moment, a giant beam of light instantly struck Huan Wuxing's shoulder, yet her expression remained one of bored mockery, and she even let out a tedious yawn.
