41: The future Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, Hu Liena?

Chapter 42: The Future Saintess of the Spirit Hall, Hu Liena?

"Hmm?"

Ye Han turned to look.

He saw the Dragon Snake Couple not far away.

Meng Yiran also turned to look at that moment.

Seeing her grandparents so serious, she couldn't help but freeze.

Before she could speak, the Dragon Snake Couple sternly shouted again:

"Yiran! Come back!!"

This was the first time Meng Yiran had seen her grandparents like this.

After giving Ye Han a deep look, she jogged over.

She was just about to ask something, but was shielded behind the Dragon Snake Couple.

Their bodies trembled slightly, yet they stared seriously at Ye Han. The Dragon Lord cupped his hands in a false show of courtesy and said:

"Young Hero, long time no see. Your impressive demeanor remains unchanged..."

"The city has been unsettled lately. If you have no important business, please return..."

"If you have matters to attend to, please visit again after this current trouble passes. We will certainly receive you with sincerity then!"

Their words were simple, yet Ye Han instantly understood the underlying meaning.

They had clearly guessed that he was the real culprit behind the recent exterminations of those factions.

Out of respect for them being Meng Yiran's grandparents, Ye Han smiled and cupped his hands:

"Dragon Lord, Dragon Lady, it's been a long time. I trust you have been well."

Without further ado, he got straight to the point:

"I came this time to take Yiran on a journey across the continent. I hope you two elders will permit it."

Hearing this, Meng Yiran was instantly overjoyed.

Her master truly cared for her. Her daily and nightly longing had not been in vain.

Even for several nights, she had thought of her master's image, and then... (unclear action).

However, the Dragon Snake Couple's expressions changed drastically. They shielded Meng Yiran protectively. The Dragon Lord said in a deep voice:

"Yiran is still young. We are truly uneasy about her going out to gain experience. We cannot agree to this matter."

Upon hearing this, Meng Yiran immediately grabbed the Dragon Lord's arm and pleaded anxiously:

"Grandfather, please agree! Ye Han is very powerful! Even if you and grandmother combined, you wouldn't be his match..."

However, before she could finish her sentence.

The Dragon Lady suddenly grabbed her arm and scolded her in a low, stern voice:

"Yiran! No more mischief!!"

This was the first time Meng Yiran had seen her grandmother lose her temper with her.

She could only lower her head, not daring to speak, and steal glances at her master.

Witnessing all this, Ye Han couldn't help but let out a slight, cold laugh:

"Oh? Worried about Yiran? Then what level of strength must I reach for you two elders to be at ease?"

The Dragon Lord took a deep breath and exchanged a glance with the Dragon Lady.

Both their eyes flashed with a trace of determination.

They naturally understood that Ye Han's strength was extraordinary.

But for their granddaughter's safety, the Dragon Lady reluctantly said:

"The continent is filled with countless experts and dangers everywhere. Protecting Yiran well will not be easy!"

"This old woman's requirement is not high. As long as you can reach the Titled Douluo level, we are willing to let you take Yiran!"

Hearing this, Meng Yiran was instantly dumbfounded.

The last time she saw Ye Han, he was merely a Spirit Douluo.

How could he possibly Breakthrough to the Titled Douluo level in such a short time!

"Hehe~"

Ye Han, however, was not the least bit surprised. The corner of his mouth lifted in an amused smile.

Immediately after, a terrifying pressure erupted from his body.

An overwhelming sense of oppression, like the sky collapsing, pressed down on the bodies of the Dragon Snake Couple.

"This! This aura!"

"Could it be... a Titled Douluo expert!!!"

Under this pressure, the Dragon Snake Couple's faces changed dramatically.

Their pupils contracted sharply. They stared at Ye Han in shock, their voices trembling slightly.

Meng Yiran also stared wide-eyed in shock, looking at Ye Han with a face full of admiration.

While they were still in shock, Ye Han's lips curved up, and he activated his Spirit.

As his twin spirits appeared, seventeen dazzling spirit rings manifested around Ye Han.

First Spirit: Black, Black, Red! Red! Red! Red! Red! Red! Red!

Second Spirit: Red! Red! Red! Red! Red! Red! Red! Red!

"!!!"

The Dragon Snake Couple were shocked speechless.

Meng Yiran slumped to the ground, staring blankly, muttering in astonishment:

"Master... is so amazing..."

Seeing their inexperienced reactions, Ye Han couldn't help but smile faintly.

Seeing the Dragon Snake Couple were about to be crushed by the pressure, Ye Han promptly withdrew it.

The Dragon Lady caught her breath, quickly released her protective hold on Meng Yiran, and said with both lingering fear and reluctance:

"Since Your Excellency has already reached the Titled Douluo level..."

"Then we naturally have no reason... to stop you from taking Yiran anymore."

The Dragon Lord also nodded. Although somewhat reluctant in his heart, there was no other way.

Entrusting Yiran to him might lead to even greater achievements for her in the future.

Ye Han smiled slightly and cupped his hands:

"Thank you, elders, for your consent. I did not come to take her by force..."

"Rather, I wish to marry her. These two Immortal Plants are my betrothal gift for Yiran!"

As he spoke, his storage ring flashed. Two Immortal Plants emitting dense energy shot towards the Dragon Snake Couple.

"This is!!!"

Seeing this, the Dragon Snake Couple's expressions changed dramatically with shock.

Having roamed the continent for many years, how could they not recognize the preciousness of what lay before them?

For Ye Han to take out such treasures, it seemed he was sincere in wanting to marry Yiran.

The Dragon Lady's hands trembled as she accepted the Immortal Plants. She said excitedly:

"Since Your Excellency is sincere, we agree to this marriage!"

The Dragon Lord also took a deep breath, calming his excited emotions. He said sternly to Meng Yiran:

"Yiran! Hurry up and get up. Sitting on the ground like this, letting your future husband see you, how unbecoming!"

Only then did Meng Yiran snap back to reality and quickly stand up.

Filled with joy, she threw herself into Ye Han's arms, her eyes full of love and admiration.

...

After a round of farewells.

Ye Han took Meng Yiran with him.

They returned to the Banned Manga Paradise Hotel to reunite with the other women.

During this time, Meng Yiran got acquainted with the other women.

And they also learned about Meng Yiran's current situation.

After successfully absorbing the Man Faced Demon Spider, she had obtained an external eight-spider Spirit Bone.

Upon learning this, Ye Han had her take an Immortal Plant.

Meng Yiran's level soared directly from level 33 to level 39.

Her Spirit evolved from a Snake Staff into a top-tier Magical Artifact Spirit, the Necromantic Beast Staff!

It could summon the undead souls of Spirit Beasts she had killed before, unleashing half of their former strength.

Her external eight-spider Spirit Bone, also aided by the Immortal Plant, evolved into the Necromantic Eight Wings.

After a night of nineteen-fold happiness, Ye Han set out with the women to seek revenge on Ah Yin.

...

Many days later, during the night.

The group arrived outside a stretch of undulating mountains.

"Ah Yin's true form is located right in the center of these mountains!"

Ye Han thought to himself. Remembering Ah Yin who had killed him, his anger flared even more.

However, turning back and seeing the women utterly exhausted, he regained his composure and said gently:

"This is a good spot. Let's set up a tent and rest here tonight. We'll continue early tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, the women all nodded and began setting up a large tent and preparing dinner.

Just as Ye Han was about to pull a few women aside to vent some fire...

A woman's sharp scream, tinged with sobs, suddenly rang out from not far away:

"No! Don't kill my brother!!!"

Hearing this voice, Ye Han frowned and said:

"Little Cat, Bing'er, you two are in charge of organizing everyone. Don't wander off. I'll be right back."

With that, Ye Han's figure flickered.

He soon arrived near the source of the scream.

Looking over, several figures came into view, two of which were extremely familiar.

The two familiar figures were precisely Tang Hao, and the Little Wretch who was missing his... (genitals).

They were surrounding a seven-person team.

Of that team, six had already fallen in pools of blood.

Only a young girl remained. She was holding a fallen corpse, weeping bitterly:

"Wuu... Brother!!!"

Tang Hao, however, wore an expression of utter indifference. He said coldly to Little Wretch:

"Little San!"

"The Spirit Hall is the culprit who killed your mother!"

"Everyone from the Spirit Hall is unforgivable. Kill her!"

Hearing this, Tang San's eyes glowed with a crimson red light. He roared in fury:

"Everyone from the Spirit Hall! All have a reason to die!"

As he spoke, he raised the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand and swung it towards the girl.

And at that moment, Ye Han finally got a clear look at the girl's appearance.

That girl was actually the future Saintess of the Spirit Hall — Hu Liena!

It seemed this seven-person team was the Spirit Hall's future competition team.

Thinking this, Ye Han's figure suddenly flickered, swiftly rushing towards Hu Liena.
