298: Chapter 298 The Descendant of the Demon Emperor

"Second, the Ghost Bride True Body, also known as the Advent of the Ghost Emperor!"

Everyone heard that Su Wen's seventh spirit ring had obtained two Spirit Abilities.

They weren't surprised.

After all, it was a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring; according to the rules, it would generally possess two abilities.

But how could there be two Martial Soul True Bodies?

"Ghost Bride True Body? Xiao Wen, what does this mean?"

Ye Yuaner asked curiously.

The Ghost Bride True Body didn't sound like a problem.

But the Ghost Bride was definitely female.

Could it be that Xiao Wen can switch between male and female?

"This..."

Su Wen carefully sensed the power of the Spirit Ability.

He said, "The Ghost Bride True Body allows the Wedding Dress Ghost Emperor to awaken a brief consciousness to fight in my place, replacing all my Spirit Abilities and powers."

"The True Body effect lasts for at most one hour, and I will fall into a deep sleep during this process, protected by both the Ghost Bride and the Ghost Emperor Bride. Unless I sense a threat of death, it's difficult to wake up..."

"The Ghost Emperor Bride's Martial Soul True Body ability is completely different from mine. Mine significantly increases attributes, reduces Spirit Ability consumption, and doubles the power of Spirit Abilities."

"The Ghost Emperor Bride's ability is a special power that controls the power of Reincarnation... Perhaps there are also differences between the effects of the Spirit Abilities she uses and mine."

"A Martial Soul fighting on one's behalf... This is truly the first time this old man has heard of such a thing!"

Dugu Bo was truly shocked. For a Martial Soul to replace its master in battle while the master sleeps, Su Wen was likely the first in the Douluo Continent to do so!

Ye Yuaner and Bi Ji exchanged a glance; it was also their first time hearing that a Seventh Spirit Skill could have two Martial Soul True Bodies, and with different abilities at that.

"Husband, it sounds very powerful!"

A Rou didn't have many doubts or questions; she directly provided plenty of emotional support, her joy and admiration unconcealed.

"Yes, although it's the first time I've heard of it, as long as there are no issues, it must be a special Spirit Ability!"

Ye Yuaner nodded, then looked at Xiao Wu's corpse. "Xiao Wen, how will you handle her?"

"Senior Dugu, please go outside and protect a Formation for me to prevent anyone from entering. I might cause some commotion in a moment..."

Su Wen's First Soul Skill was somewhat special; it was best if Dugu Bo didn't know about it.

Dugu Bo was surprised. Could there be a bigger commotion than a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast's sacrifice?

Though puzzled, he agreed and flew toward the Sunset Forest.

Not long after Dugu Bo left, the forest beneath him was instantly covered by a Domain.

The entire land turned into a sea of blood, with festive lanterns hanging one by one from the tree branches.

Dugu Bo landed casually on a large tree, watching as Ghost Souls drifted out of the Sunset Forest.

He clicked his tongue. "This kid... this scene looks familiar. Tsk tsk, regardless, this kid's Spirit is truly evil. I wonder if he becomes the Supreme Pontiff, will Spirit Hall become the Evil Spirit Hall!"

...

The Ghost Marriage in the Sunset Forest soon ended. Xiao Wu stood before everyone, and the spirit rings beneath her feet were no longer the optimal configuration but the same special spirit rings as Su Wen's.

One yellow, one purple, three black, and two red.

Xiao Wu stared straight at Su Wen, her eyes lacking their former innocence and complexity, filled only with pure affection.

"Hus—"

"Papa!"

Before Xiao Wu could speak, A Rou had already said it for her.

Xiao Wu's little eyebrows furrowed slightly; she was somewhat resistant.

Su Wen rubbed her head. "Listen to A Rou for now. This is also quite good!"

Xiao Wu pursed her lips and pouted before speaking. "I'll listen to everything you say, Hus... Pa!"

A Rou's eyes flickered; why did that sound so strange?

"Ahem, let's head back. It's getting late. Xiao Wu, you should return to Shrek Academy too!"

"Mm, Xiao Wu understands. But Xiao Wu seems to be a Spirit Saint now. Won't they be suspicious if I go back?"

Xiao Wu blinked her big eyes. She actually wanted to stay by the Saint's side now.

It would be best if she couldn't go back.

She suddenly felt that the Saint's scent was very pleasant.

If she could stay by his side forever, she felt she could give up anything.

"Take this. It can mask your Soul Power situation. I believe under normal circumstances, no one will be able to tell. Moreover, Karma already exists between us. Even if you truly die, you can return to my spirit rings after two or three months..."

Su Wen took out a flower. Its petals were layered and introverted, shaped like a sleeping bud.

The leaves were covered in a very faint mist, cool to the touch.

"A Spiritual Plant called the Breath-Concealing Ghost Epiphyllum. After taking it, you can completely mask your Soul Power. Even a Titled Douluo's investigation won't be able to see through it. It allows you to keep your power hidden and contained without dissipating."

"But there is a small side effect: you cannot forcibly erupt your Soul Power, or it will break the concealment effect. Before using Soul Power, your body needs to adapt first, letting the Soul Power circulate within you."

Xiao Wu reached out with both hands to take it. "Xiao Wu understands!"

Before leaving the Sunset Forest, Su Wen gave Dugu Bo a few instructions, saying that a battle of Titled Douluos would soon take place in Heaven Dou City and telling him not to get involved.

Everyone returned to Heaven Dou City, just in time to run into Tang San rushing out of the city.

When Tang San saw Xiao Wu return safe and sound, the heavy stone in his heart was finally lifted.

But seeing that the Holy Son of Spirit Hall was also there, and that Xiao Wu was talking and laughing with him while he even touched her, Tang San's eyes instantly turned blood-red, and his breathing became as heavy as a bull's.

"Xiao Wu!"

"Little San, why are you here?"

Seeing Tang San, a flash of displeasure crossed Xiao Wu's face, replaced by a look of confusion.

"Xiao Wu, I was worried about you, so I came specifically to check!"

"Hmph, Sister Xiao Wu doesn't need your concern. You dared to stop Sister Xiao Wu from seeing her mother; Sister Xiao Wu dislikes you very much now!"

"Xiao Wu, I was just worried about you..."

"Sister Xiao Wu doesn't need your worry."

Tang San tried to grab Xiao Wu's hand to pull her away, but Xiao Wu took a half-step back to dodge. "What are you doing? Sister Xiao Wu doesn't want to go back. Sister Xiao Wu is very angry right now..."

"Xiao Wu..." Tang San's face showed embarrassment and distress, especially while being watched by people from Spirit Hall. He turned his gaze to Su Wen. "Did you trick Xiao Wu? Xiao Wu is so innocent, how could you lay a hand on her?"

"*Slap!*"

Su Wen was enjoying the show when he didn't expect Tang San to suddenly target him.

Before he could speak, Ye Yuaner had already sent a slap flying.

Tang San's body was like a broken kite, flying dozens of meters away and crashing heavily into a stall. The owner's freshly boiled wonton soup immediately drenched him. In that instant, Tang San was so scalded that his expression briefly twisted.

"Noisy and clamorous, showing disrespect to our Holy Son of Spirit Hall—who do you think you are?"

Ye Yuaner withdrew her hand, but Su Wen was startled. "Aunt Ye, are you alright?"

Su Wen looked around; it seemed she wasn't attacked by Asura?

"I'm fine, my hand just felt a bit itchy!"

Ye Yuaner looked at him strangely. What could happen from hitting a Spirit Ancestor?

Her heart suddenly warmed; was Xiao Wen afraid she had hurt her hand?
