156: The little bell of the cup

“Oh dear~ Young Man, don't be like that... I, I can be your woman too, okay~” Nalali rolled her eyes, then flirtatiously tossed a seductive glance toward the Azure Dragon Phoenix.

For some reason, seeing Nalali act like this, before Shen Guyan could even make a decision, Leng Yaozhu was the first to harbor murderous intent.

“Keeping this woman will only lead to trouble. Just kill her!” Leng Yaozhu urged in Shen Guyan's consciousness.

Shen Guyan had originally planned to kill both Super Douluo, but the situation with Leng Yulai changed, giving him new ideas.

“I plan to keep both of these Super Douluo,” Shen Guyan told Leng Yaozhu without hesitation.

“You...” Leng Yaozhu was furious. “Don't tell me you're interested in her? She's a Super Douluo! I can't be by your side all the time. If you're ever alone, she could kill you instantly!”

“Don't think of me as so shallow,” Shen Guyan said flatly. “Besides, she is merely a pawn needed for my future plans. What I want right now is the Holy Spirit Cult.”

“What did you say?” Leng Yaozhu's voice immediately rose eight octaves. This brat, he hasn't even fully matured, yet where did he get such enormous ambition?

The Holy Spirit Cult—is that something you can just easily control?

Shen Guyan ignored Leng Yaozhu's protests. He found a method to restrict Soul Power from her memory and used it on Nalali and Leng Yulai.

“I knew it, you couldn't bear to harm me, right?” Only after successfully restricting Nalali's Soul Power did the Azure Dragon Phoenix put her down. However, the moment the woman was free from the Azure Dragon Phoenix's control, she began to preen and posture.

“Behave!” This time, the voice that came from the Azure Dragon Phoenix belonged solely to Leng Yaozhu.

With a flash of light and shadow, the Azure Dragon Phoenix dissolved into a rain of light, and the azure dragon mask worn on Leng Yaozhu's pretty face automatically landed on the face of Shen Guyan, who was in her arms.

“Ugh...” As his consciousness returned, Shen Guyan still felt soft and weak all over. If he hadn't been lying in Leng Yaozhu's embrace, he probably would have fallen headfirst onto the ground.

“Are you alright?” Leng Yaozhu asked worriedly, looking at his state.

This scene fell into Leng Yulai's eyes, filling her face with disbelief.

Seemingly noticing her gaze, Shen Guyan couldn't help but tease, “How about that? Dark Phoenix Douluo, your sister won't compete with you for Yun Ming anymore. If you have the ability, you can go snatch him away from Holy Spirit Douluo.”

Hearing this, Leng Yaozhu's pretty face flushed red. Surprisingly, she didn't refute him, but instead reached out, pinched a piece of skin on Shen Guyan's lower back, and twisted it a full one hundred and eighty degrees.

Leng Yaozhu knew her sister's personality. At this moment, only by making her completely believe the “facts” Shen Guyan spoke of would the girl potentially reconcile with her completely.

“Snatch? What is there left to snatch...” Leng Yulai immediately burst into tears, her face full of sorrow. “His heart was stolen by that woman Yali, and he didn't even leave an inch of space for you or me...”

“Yu Lai...” Leng Yaozhu sighed, slowly sat down next to Leng Yulai, and reached out to pat her shoulder.

Shen Guyan did not interrupt the two sisters. Instead, he forced himself to stand despite his spinning head and walked alone toward Nalali.

“Young Man, what... what are you going to do to me?” Seeing Shen Guyan approach, Nalali immediately adopted a fully seductive posture, lying on her side, and speaking in a delicate voice.

After having her Soul Power briefly restricted by the Azure Dragon Phoenix, Nalali was now no different from an ordinary person, except for her physique which was far superior.

“Naturally, I want you.” Shen Guyan looked down at her from above, a smile of unknown meaning playing on his lips.

“Ah?” Nalali was stunned for a moment, then stood up giggling and pressed herself against Shen Guyan's chest, deliberately rubbing her body against him. “Is Young Man serious? I fell in love with Young Man at first sight! For that kind of thing, Young Man just needs to play hard to get...”

Shen Guyan had no intention of giving Nalali a chance to resist. His left hand shot out like lightning, fiercely slamming the azure dragon mask onto Nalali's face. The moment the mask touched Nalali's tender skin, it squirmed like a living creature, quickly adhering to her features.

Even though Nalali had prepared herself, she hadn't expected Shen Guyan to use that seemingly harmless mask Spirit. No matter how fast her reaction was, it couldn't match the current Shen Guyan.

Leng Yulai also directed her gaze over, and seeing this move by Shen Guyan, a trace of confusion flashed across her pretty face.

What is he doing?

In an instant, a powerful Mental Energy surged out from the azure dragon mask, like a raging undercurrent, traveling along Nalali's skin and bones, straight to the depths of her consciousness. Nalali felt a roar in her mind, as if ten million steel needles had pierced her simultaneously. Her sea of consciousness instantly became turbulent, and her previously calm mental World was turned upside down.

A colossal Azure Dragon phantom rampaged through Nalali's sea of consciousness. Nalali's sea of consciousness resembled a dark Chaos space, filled with Soul Power mist, where every spot seemed to hide dangerous Soul Power vortices.

Relying on its unique nature, the azure dragon mask pierced through mental barriers as if entering an uninhabited land, searching in the darkness for the core of Nalali's consciousness—the deepest part of her sea of consciousness. Once controlled, she could be completely dominated.

Soon, the Azure Dragon locked onto the core of Nalali's consciousness. It was a cluster of spirit power core emitting a bizarre light, constantly pulsing and releasing intense mental fluctuations, attempting to resist the Azure Dragon's invasion. The Azure Dragon merely roared, and a blue light from its claw pierced the spirit power core like a sharp blade.

The spirit power core trembled violently, emitting mournful wails on the mental plane. Soon, another azure dragon imprint slowly formed, shimmering with faint blue light.

As the imprint formed, Nalali's sea of consciousness began to change. Her originally dark sea of consciousness was gradually influenced by the Azure Dragon's Qi, as if a seed had been planted deep within her Soul, ready to sprout and control her thoughts at any time.

After Shen Guyan completed all of this, he slowly withdrew his mental perception and the mask.

Nalali looked as if she had suffered a heavy blow. Her body trembled violently, and painful moans escaped her lips. The arrogance and murderous intent in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by a trace of fear and confusion. She lay there, staring blankly at the sky, as if she had lost her Soul.

Shen Guyan knew that this azure dragon imprint would be the key to whether Nalali could be controlled by him. In the days to come, she might become an important pawn in his hands, and this was only one part of his overall plan amidst the complex situation on the Douluo Continent.

Previously, it was inconvenient for him to do anything to Leng Yaozhu's imprint, and he was unwilling to lay hands on his own sister, Shen Yue. But now it was different; the opponent was an Evil Soul Master from the Holy Spirit Cult who harbored malicious intentions toward him.

“Alright, how should I play with you?” A cruel light flashed in Shen Guyan's eyes, causing Nalali, who didn't understand what was happening, to tremble all over.

“W-what are you going to do... Don't come near me—”
