"As long as you don't tell anyone who it is that captured Xiaowu in the first place."
Ye Feng smiled as he looked at the bewildered Du Gubo.
He then looked over at Xiaowu lying on the grass.
"What's your plan now? To kill her and absorb the hundred-thousand-year soul ring from her body, and then sneak away carrying the secret from the eyes of the Martial Soul Hall, never to appear before them again?"
"Old Peel, don't tell me I've hit the nail on the head."
Du Gubo said to him.
"I can only say you're half right. Old Poison, what do you think we should do next? Any suggestions?"
In truth, Ye Feng was also quite conflicted, unsure whether to kill Xiaowu or to expose the situation to the people of Martial Soul Hall.
"How about we wait for them to get farther away, then move Xiaowu to another place. After that, we can find a time to extract and absorb the hundred-thousand-year soul ring from her body into my own."
He meant into his own body, Ye Feng's body, not Du Gubo's personally. Ye Feng had put a lot of effort into this, and he would not just hand over the hundred-thousand-year soul ring that easily!!
Ye Feng said to Du Gubo.
He also wanted to hear Du Gubo's suggestions!!
"Old Peel, I advise you to just come clean about the hundred-thousand-year soul ring to Bi Bidong, to avoid the deep harm they might bring you."
With Du Gubo's understanding of Martial Soul Hall, once they deemed someone detrimental to their interests, they would stop at nothing, showing neither mercy nor humanity.
Du Gubo said seriously.
At that moment, Du Gubo looked meaningfully at Ye Feng.
Du Gubo's knowledge of Ye Feng wasn't particularly deep, at least he understood that Ye Feng was not someone who would easily bow down and show weakness!
"Ha-ha, Old Poison, you don't need to worry about that. I have it all figured out and know exactly what to do next..."
Ye Feng said confidently.
Then suddenly, Ye Feng crouched down and slowly approached Xiaowu's body!!
What was Ye Feng doing? Du Gubo watched him with a puzzled expression on his face.
Could it be he was about to teach Xiaowu a lesson!?
"Hold on, Old Peel, what are you doing? You're not going to do something indecent, right? Should I leave to avoid disturbing you?"
Du Gubo asked bluntly.
"Hiss—!"
Soul Power reemerged!!
Immediately after, Ye Feng's soul rings all made their appearance.
This made Du Gubo even more confused. What exactly was Ye Feng planning to do!?
"???"
"Old Peel, what are you doing?!"
"Speak up, will you?!"
Du Gubo shouted.
Just as Ye Feng was about to release his soul power toward Xiaowu, a pair of large eyes stared at him.
What was going on? The effects of the drug were supposed to last for five hours, but Xiaowu was waking up after only three.
"Ye Feng, what are you doing?!"
Suddenly, Xiaowu yelled out.
Mistaking Ye Feng for attempting a shameful act.
Ye Feng had originally planned to use his soul power to protect her, to keep her hiding place from being discovered by others.
Unfortunately, he was one step too late, as Xiaowu had already noticed him.
Which meant Xiaowu was now under Ye Feng's control.
"Shush, be quiet. I hear your beloved Xiaosan might be seriously injured, apparently so sick he may not make it!"
Ye Feng said with a grave expression.
Hearing this, Xiaowu's face turned pale!!
"My Xiaosan, what have you done to him? If you've harmed him, I'll never forgive you."
Xiaosan said angrily.
When she tried to stand up, she found herself unable to, her body too weak.
The poison administered by Ye Feng sapped her strength, preventing her from recovering quickly!!
"Look at your condition now, still thinking about protecting Xiaosan. You probably don't know that Xiaosan almost died trying to find you on the road. It seems he still cares about you, but you knew he was looking for you yet you deliberately avoided him, not letting him find you. You think this joke is funny, right? If you like to play so much, why not continue your games with him, wouldn't that be fun?"
"Hiss—"
A powerful force directly hit Xiaowu's body!!
At this moment, Xiaowu was holding back the pain without making a sound, but the tears kept streaming down her face incessantly!!
Even though she wanted to fight back, she dared not resist and quietly endured the pain.
"Hmph! You're Xiaowu from Shrek Academy, and your master is Brock, right?"
Du Gubo stated outright.
Du Gubo actually brought up the master.
Ye Feng almost forgot all about Brock from Shrek Academy, that freeloader who mooched food and drink!!
However, he should also thank Du Gubo for mentioning this bad person!
"Hmph! Brock is quite an interesting man. Last time, one of my students made a mess of him. He was pelted with rotten eggs and spoiled vegetables and eventually crawled away from the academy,"
"Old Peel, you weren't there to see such a splendid scene. You have no idea how hilarious it was."
"We should find time to go see him next time."
Ye Feng said, smiling.
Du Gubo nodded in agreement with Ye Feng's suggestion.
Initially, Ye Feng had made a promise to personally drive Master, Tang San, and Tang Hao out of Soul Land!!
This was the big task he would undertake in the future.
"That sounds good, make sure to remind me to join you next time. I want to see for myself how powerful Brock is and even spar with him," Du Gubo spoke.
Xiaowu, overhearing this, became very agitated.
She was so angry that she almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.
"Ye Feng, we don't have much time left. It's not good to keep dragging this out. Why not make it quick?"
Ye Feng glanced at Du Gubo.
"Why not just kill her? It'll save us from a lot of trouble," he said.
Sometimes, Du Gubo was a cold-blooded man who could not muster any warmth towards humans.
Just like the band of villains around Ye Feng, they deemed those they didn't like as needing to be killed without exception!!
They would retaliate a hundredfold for the way others treated them.
"Sure, let's do that."
"Hiss—!"
Soul Power surged to a hundred percent in an attack.
"Bang—!"
An explosion sounded.
Xiaowu, frightened by the blast, fainted once again.
Her life was still very much intact; she did not pass away.
Had Ye Feng deemed the time right to kill Xiaowu, it wouldn't have been difficult for him at all.
"Where did that sound come from?!"
Members of the Martial Soul Hall detected a noise not far behind them.
Almost everyone had their souls hooked by the piercing sound!!
"I also heard the explosion just now but no idea where it came from, plus Ye Feng and Du Gubo still haven't caught up with us,"
"What are those two up to that they have been gone for so long and still haven't come back?!"
Evil Moon said, curious.
"Never mind them; they'll come if they want to. But we must continue on our way,"
the guard said.
Suddenly, Bi Bidong decided not to proceed.
The carriage pulled over to the side and Bi Bidong got off slowly!
"Your Holiness Pope!!"
Hulena spoke out.
Since Ye Feng and Du Gubo left and had not returned for quite some time, Hulena, her brother Evil Moon, Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and a few others had been walking without going back to the carriage.
Because they were still very concerned about Ye Feng!!
"Hulena, you and the others go back the way we came and see what Ye Feng and the others are up to/!"
Bi Bidong suspected that the explosion earlier might have something to do with Ye Feng and the others.
So she ordered Hulena, Ghost Douluo, and the others to go check out the situation!!
