Chapter 187 Looting Two Soul Bones and a Bunch of Love Letters
"Yes!" Nana nodded and stepped forward, squatting down to carefully examine Zhu Shu's body.
Soon, she removed an antique-style silver-gray necklace from Zhu Shu's neck. The pendant was a perfectly cut dark gemstone, with faint fluctuations of soul power flowing around it. It was a precious storage soul tool.
Even more surprisingly, with Zhu Shu's death, two soft yet powerful halos of light slowly emerged and coalesced from her corpse.
One piece is a streamlined bluish-black, exuding a light and swift aura; the other is much larger, as dark as the deepest night, as if it could devour all the light around it.
"Young Master, it's two soul bones!" Nana's voice carried a barely perceptible hint of excitement. "A right leg bone and a right arm bone!"
A hint of surprise finally flashed in Dai Youheng's eyes. He took two steps forward and glanced at the two floating soul bones. "During my time in the Duke's Mansion and the Princess's Mansion, I heard about these two soul bones. They are the inherited soul bones of the Zhu family. The right leg bone is called the Netherworld Gale Right Leg Bone. Zhu Shu just demonstrated the skill, which is to increase speed. This bone is about 30,000 to 40,000 years old, which ensures its ultimate personal mobility and explosive power."
"That right arm bone is called the Shadow Illusion Curtain Right Arm Bone, and its age is as high as 60,000 years, providing powerful control over the field. It is said that when the power of the soul bone is activated, a huge hemispherical dark domain will instantly unfold around the user, covering a vast area. This domain can devour light and sound, making its interior pitch black and silent, greatly shielding visual and auditory perception. I never expected that these two soul bones would explode together today. What an unexpected surprise."
He recalled Zhu Shu's ghostly speed during the battle, which was clearly due to the 30,000-year-old Netherworld Gale right leg bone. As for the 60,000-year-old Shadow Illusion right arm bone, Dai Youheng's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
"She never used the skill of that right arm bone until her death, which was quite clever," Dai Youheng said calmly. "Unleashing the Dark Domain in front of your Ghost Martial Soul is tantamount to setting up the perfect stage for your slaughter. Your Netherworld Ruler Skull allows you to merge with darkness, making you perfectly at ease in her domain. She will only die faster."
Upon hearing this, Nana immediately understood the key point, and her gaze towards the Phantom Veil right arm bone burned even brighter. If she could possess all three soul bones simultaneously—the Swift Wind Leg Bone for increased speed, the Phantom Veil Right Arm Bone for creating absolute darkness and enhancing her abilities—she could achieve even more.
And the ruling skull that allows one to perfectly blend into and dominate the darkness.
The combination of these three elements allows her to evolve into a top-tier Shadow King capable of creating darkness, dominating the battlefield, and appearing and disappearing without a trace, becoming the sharpest and most difficult-to-defend shadow blade in the young master's hands.
"Nana." Dai Youheng's voice interrupted her thoughts.
She immediately knelt on one knee, bowed her head respectfully, and said, "Your subordinate is here."
"These two soul bones are yours." Dai Youheng's tone left no room for doubt. "After you get back, absorb and fuse them as soon as possible. I need you to become stronger faster. If you encounter a peak Soul Douluo like this again, you will still fail if it takes more than three moves. Three moves to defeat him will barely pass, two moves will be considered good, and only one move to kill him will be considered excellent."
Nana suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with excitement.
"Thank you, Young Master! Nana will never let you down next time." Her voice trembled slightly with excitement as she accepted the two powerful soul bones with both hands. Feeling the immense power contained within them, she felt a surge of warmth coursing through her body. She knew that by absorbing these soul bones, she was enhancing the Young Master's overall strength. The sharper her blade, the more thorns she could cut through for the Young Master.
"Get up." Dai Youheng raised his hand to help him up. "This place is not safe to stay. The commotion just now was quite loud and may have attracted unnecessary trouble."
The two acted swiftly. Dai Youheng used the power of the Snow Emperor's Soul Ring to condense ice in his palm, completely freezing Zhu Shu's head and corpse. Then, with a gentle tremor, the corpse vanished into countless ice crystals. Dai Youheng stored away the frozen head. Nana, meanwhile, dealt with the remains of Hou Linghou Jia, using her dark soul power to corrode and dissolve them without leaving a trace.
After doing all this, Dai Youheng's gaze swept over the chaotic battlefield. After confirming that no further clues had been left behind, he nodded slightly to Nana.
Two figures soared into the sky and disappeared quickly. Soon after, rain began to fall from the sky. As the rain grew larger, it washed over the earth, as if trying to cleanse away all the bloodshed and slaughter that had just occurred, leaving only the sediment of power and the undercurrents of the future.
The two returned to the small mountain village, which was isolated from the world and generally no one would come looking for them. Ling Ya's choice of location was indeed excellent.
Dai Youheng and Nana quietly entered the courtyard without disturbing anyone. Inside the house came the even, steady breathing of their mother, Bai Wanning, who was clearly still taking a nap. As for her younger brother, Dai Luoli, he was probably out playing the role of the village leader again. Ever since receiving the nine-ringed sword, a close-combat soul tool from Nana, and being taught swordsmanship by Dai Youheng, his favorite thing to do now was to practice his swordsmanship in front of the other children in the village.
"Nana, why don't you absorb the soul bone first?" Dai Youheng said.
"Yes!" Nana responded respectfully, immediately walking to the side and sitting cross-legged. She carefully placed the two radiant soul bones on her lap, closed her eyes, and began to guide her soul power to merge with them. A dark and ethereal aura gradually enveloped her.
Dai Youheng walked to the old locust tree in the corner of the courtyard and casually sat on a thick root. He took out the silver-gray storage necklace he had obtained from Zhu Shu and probed it with his soul power.
As expected, the private collection of a family patriarch was far less extensive than that of the ninth-level soul master who had traversed the continent and accumulated a wealth of knowledge.
The necklace space appeared rather bare, containing only a gold soul coin card of unknown value and a large pile of papers with unidentified writing on them.
Dai Youheng frowned slightly and took out all the papers. They were soft to the touch, as if they had been frequently handled. He casually unfolded a few sheets, glanced at them, and his expression instantly became quite interesting, a mixture of speechlessness, disdain, and a hint of absurdity.
love letter.
They were all love letters.
The densely packed handwriting poured out Zhu Shu's lingering, bittersweet feelings for Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger, her unrequited love and resentment. The words were filled with blatant affection, humble pleas, and frantic jealousy, even including a few blurred ink stains smudged by tears.
"Another super love-obsessed person—" Dai Youheng couldn't help but mutter a curse under her breath, her fingers tightening slightly as she gripped the letter. "Couldn't he leave something useful before he dies? Is he planning to pass on this worthless emotional garbage as a negative example to his descendants?"
"Pfft." The Snow Emperor's light laughter came clearly from within the sea of consciousness, carrying undisguised teasing. "Youheng, it seems that your nominal father's charm is far beyond your reach. According to my rough estimate, this is already the fourth woman to go mad for him. Tsk tsk, his charm is truly breathtaking."
"I don't understand, but I'm deeply shocked," Dai Youheng replied expressionlessly, barely suppressing the urge to burn all the scraps of paper. He patiently began to quickly flip through the thick stack of "love letters."
He had no interest in Zhu Shu's love letters. But being cautious by nature, he might be able to glean some information from them.
This is not gossip, absolutely not!
Xue Di, on the other hand, was thoroughly enjoying what he was seeing in his mental world, even offering a few comments on the writing style and emotional expression, while Dai Youheng pretended not to hear them at all.
However, it doesn't seem to be all junk; at the very end, there appears to be some useful information.
