He immediately realized something was amiss and kept thinking, "No, this isn't right. It must be the Dark Bell's charm ability at work. How could I possibly be smitten with an evil Soul Master?"
Besides, he already had someone he liked, and that was Gu Yue!
Nanali leaned in close to his cheek at a snail's pace and said in a seductive tone, "Stop denying it, your heart was moved by me, right?"
As a faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils, Tang Wulin's cheeks turned red. "Impossible, you're overthinking it!"
However, he was indeed mistaken; she had not used any charm-type soul skills!
Nanali did not continue to tease him but asked curiously, "Tell me, what is your purpose in going to Tang Sect?"
"If you give me a made-up excuse, that little girl's life won't be guaranteed..."
After saying that, she shifted her gaze to the little girl from earlier...
Tang Wulin was shocked and quickly interjected, "Wait... hold on, I am going to Tang Sect to meet with the Tang Sect Master and the Hall Masters!"
Nanali's beautiful eyes sparkled as she pressed, "What for, exactly?"
Tang Wulin clenched his teeth. "To gain their recognition!"
Nanali glanced at her fingernails, surprised, "Oh? I didn't expect Tang Sect to hold you in such high regard. If I killed you here..."
Tang Wulin silently gathered his Soul Power, ready to draw out the Sea God's Trident at any moment...
Facing an Ultimate Douluo, he had to use his strongest moves to possibly obtain a slim chance of survival!
These small movements naturally did not escape Nanali's eyes, "Don't worry, just joking. I'm not going to lay a hand on you, after all... there aren't many men that can pique my interest like you have!"
"Alright, wake me up when the Soul Guidance Train arrives at the station, I'm going to take a nap!"
With that, she rested her head on Tang Wulin's shoulder and slowly closed her eyes...
This made the two of them look like a couple deeply in love from any angle...
Tang Wulin looked at Nanali leaning against him and narrowed his eyes. "This woman... she actually fell asleep. Should I seize the moment and kill her?!"
But as soon as this thought emerged, it was cast aside...
With his strength, killing the Dark Bell in one strike was simply impossible!
And once she awoke, everyone on the Soul Guidance Train, including himself, had only death awaiting them!
He must not act rashly while she showed no intent to kill!
…
Time passed, and eventually, the Soul Guidance Train reached its station...
Tang Wulin took a deep breath and called out coldly, "Dark Bell, we've arrived at the station!!"
Nanali, leaning on him, slowly opened her beautiful eyes, then lazily stretched and chuckled, "At times like this, shouldn't you call someone by their real name?"
"Oh, that's right, I don't think I told you, from now on you have to call me Nanali, and perhaps something more intimate!"
The corners of Tang Wulin's mouth twitched, "Nanali, I did as you asked, can you let the people on the Soul Guidance Train go now?"
Nanali nodded, "Of course! My word is my bond!"
With a snap of her fingers, everyone under the charm regained their senses...
"Eh... what just happened? How did we suddenly arrive at the station?"
"Strange, I don't have any memory of it, but... since we're here, better hurry and leave."
"That's right, it might be due to the pressure, I just didn't notice my surroundings!"
Some went even further, their faces filled with envy as they gazed at Tang Wulin and his companion, "Wow, take a look at that couple, they're such a perfect match!"
"Yes, yes, they must be lovers, that kind of man is the white knight of my dreams!"
"Damn, I really want to go up and chat with that handsome guy, but in front of that woman, I have no confidence at all!"
These words made Nanali's mood much better, as she suggested again, "Little Wulin, people are saying we're a match made in heaven, won't you consider it?"
"Even though I am thirty-eight and you're only in your twenties, with our talents, living for over two hundred years is not difficult!"
Tang Wulin pursed his lips, "Let's talk about this after we leave the Soul Guidance Station."
He must find a chance to get rid of Nanali, this woman was just too off!
Nanali did not rebut him, but looped her arm through Tang Wulin's again, cooing, "Alright, I'll listen to you!"
...
Meanwhile, out on the streets!
There stood a young man with handsome features, dressed in clothes with golden silk patterns, speaking gently to the woman beside him, "Gu Yue, leave these matters to the underlings of the Spirit Pagoda! We don't need to come in person!"
Gu Yue glanced at him indifferently and casually said, "No, as the Young Tower Master, I need to be hands-on with everything!"
Ever since her breakthrough as a Titled Douluo, the Spirit Pagoda had seen a man who claimed to be the former Tower Master's son show up!
Leng Yaozhu, considering the former Tower Master's face, allowed him to join the Spirit Pagoda, even giving him a not insignificant position!
What Gu Yue hadn't expected was that this man seemed to have a purpose in getting close to her, clinging on like a sticky plaster that she couldn't shake off!
Upon hearing her words, a cold flash crossed the young man's eyes as he thought, "Hmph, damn woman, no woman has ever been so cold to me. Once I conquer you, you'll be mine, and the position of the Spirit Pagoda's master will be mine too!!"
Yet his face showed no emotions as he said, "Nanali, if you handle everything yourself, it'll only waste precious time. Let's do this instead, let's not bother with these trivial people and travel around the Xingluo Empire, how about it?"
Gu Yue gave him a sidelong glance, "I'm not interested. Right now, I just want to visit Skysea City to see the three great fleets that are gathering there!"
The young man forced a smile and said, "Well… alright. After we've seen them, can you give me a chance?"
Gu Yue dismissed him offhandedly, "We'll talk about such things when the time comes. I'm not interested right now!"
In the meantime, Tang Wulin and Nanali were also approaching from behind…
The latter quickly surveyed his surroundings, but the next second, his gaze suddenly froze…
The stunning figure in front of him, wasn't that the person he loved?
It was faint but visible, Gu Yuena wearing a long white dress, her purple eyes and silver hair making her look ethereal and breathtakingly beautiful…
The Dark Bell was already stunning, but in comparison to her, it paled!
Nanali by his side also noticed something and a slash of malice flashed in her beautiful eyes looking towards Gu Yuena…
She hated when another woman was prettier than her, especially in front of a man she was interested in!!
Snapping out of it, Tang Wulin spoke with a sense of urgency, "It's too crowded here, let's go somewhere else!"
But Nanali was not so easily fooled, she said with a sneer, "Is that so? However, I feel that you're deliberately avoiding that woman in front, could it be, you know her??"
