Chapter 63 Ghost Nana
A deep voice rang out from behind the screen, and a figure strode out. He wore a prince's robe similar in style to Xu Guoli's, but more luxurious, with a majestic seven-clawed dragon embroidered on the chest, its undulations rising and falling slightly with each step, exuding extraordinary power.
"Don't worry, Uncle Guoti, these precious geniuses are my future treasures. I'm too busy cherishing them to risk offending Master Kong. As long as this matter is accomplished, I have my own ways to shut Uncle Guoli up."
Xu Tianni narrowed his eyes and slowly changed his posture as he spoke.
"It's good that you understand."
Xu Guoti nodded. This top-ranking prince, who directly controlled the imperial clan, paced a few steps, still uneasy, and asked:
"Are you sure you don't need to find a Title Douluo? I'm in the Douling Empire..."
"No." Xu Tianni interrupted decisively, "This matter must be handled by someone we absolutely trust. Father will definitely investigate the traces of Soul Masters at the scene. If an eighth-level Soul Master is involved, even if they fail, Xu Tianran's side won't be able to find any clues, and we will still have room to maneuver."
Taking a deep breath, Xu Guoti said nothing more, but turned his gaze to the maid at Xu Tianni's feet.
Xu Tianni rolled her eyes and reluctantly lifted her feet.
A faint, smoky light flashed by, and he looked at the maid who had collapsed limply, clicking his tongue in regret:
"What a pity, this floor mat is the one I've been most happy with in recent months."
……
The profound impact of Kong Tianxu's actions in just a few days continues. Xiao Hongchen has remained silent since leaving the laboratory, but his cultivation has become increasingly diligent. The royal family is also making intensive preparations for Princess Tianzhen's birthday banquet.
When Zhao Gou saw Kong Tianxu again, he was as if he had seen a ghost, and he no longer had the arrogant spirit he once had.
Kong Tianxu didn't mind; he was actually happy to have more peace and quiet. However, Xu Tianzhen had become quite attached to him. As the days went by, the three of them gradually became inseparable.
The high-level Soul Masters who came to teach the class changed again and again. Some were known to him, and some were not mentioned in the original work. Including Jing Hongchen, who finally appeared today, there were almost twenty level nine Soul Masters in the classroom.
The Sun Moon Sect alone, whose martial spirit foundation is not particularly strong, has more than twenty titled Douluo. The Star Luo Sect, which was originally the most powerful among the Three Kingdoms, probably has even more than that. Kong Tianxu wondered to himself, "Will I have to fight against dozens of people in the future?"
The setting sun cast long shadows along the academy's main road, its rays like blood. Lost in thought, he didn't notice that Xu Tianzhen, who was walking ahead of him, had stopped.
"Hey!" She waved her hand in front of his eyes.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Kong Tianxu then realized that the three of them had reached the fork in the road between the male and female dormitories.
"You big bad guy, pretending not to see me again!" Xu Tianzhen huffed and crossed her arms. "Remember to come to my birthday party tomorrow night! Grandpa Kong can't make it, but you and Sister Cain can't be absent!"
"Alright, alright, I'll be there on time. Make sure to prepare plenty of good food for the banquet." Kong Tianxu couldn't help but chuckle.
"Of course, I've had all your favorite dishes prepared." Xu Tianzhen nodded hurriedly, then realized she'd let something slip and added, her cheeks slightly flushed, "Don't, don't misunderstand! I just have a good memory, I didn't specifically remember your tastes!"
She glanced around twice, then hurriedly grabbed Cain's arm: "It's settled then! Let's go back first!" Before she finished speaking, she pulled Cain away quickly.
Kong Tianxu watched her hurriedly fleeing figure and Cain's teasing gaze, shook his head and chuckled, waved goodbye and turned to walk towards the dormitory.
Along the way, many students turned their heads when they saw him. After the last clash with Ji Juechen, the title of the number one genius in the history of the Sun Moon Empire had officially changed hands.
With his formidable strength, unparalleled talent, a background comparable to that of a direct descendant of royalty, and an exceptionally handsome appearance, he became almost a star in the academy.
If the small building he lived in hadn't actually been a special area pre-selected by Jing Hongchen, making it difficult for outsiders to approach, he would probably be in even more trouble now.
"Hmm? You're really not easily flattered." As he approached the dormitory, Kong Tianxu suddenly stopped and frowned as he looked ahead.
"I didn't expect your senses to be so sharp." A soft voice sounded, and a woman walked out from around the corner of the corridor.
She wasn't exceptionally beautiful, but she was tall, even slightly taller than Cain, with a well-proportioned figure that exuded a wild, harmonious charm. Her long, dark red hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, contrasting with her wheat-colored skin and the decorative black choker around her neck, giving her a unique and dashing style.
"This...senior?" Kong Tianxu glanced at her yellow school uniform, his muscles tensing as his eyes glistened. "I remember this building has access control, right? How did you get here? Is there something you need?"
"My martial spirit is a ghost, so regular access control systems can hardly stop me. I came to find you..." She hesitated for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "Can we talk in your room?"
"Aside from this short sword I carry with me, I have no other weapons. Please rest assured, I have no ill intentions."
She drew a short knife that was much wider and thicker than normal size, and raised it with both hands to signal to Kong Tianxu.
"No need, we can say it here."
Kong Tianxu did not give in, but the soul power that had been gathering momentum had subsided.
After the brief confirmation, he knew that the girl in front of him was indeed not malicious, and with her newly arrived Soul Sect cultivation and the only level four soul tool she possessed, she could not possibly pose any threat to him.
Moreover, he already had a general idea of who the other party was and why they had come today.
She took a deep breath. "My name is Nana."
Sure enough, Kong Tianxu thought to himself.
Nana took a few steps back, then suddenly knelt down, her eyes visibly reddening. "Young Master Kong, I beg you to help me. Nana is willing to serve you like a slave for the rest of her life."
Kong Tianxu turned away, refusing to accept her grand gesture.
"If you're talking about the Holy Spirit Cult, then forget it; I can't help you right now."
Judging from the Holy Spirit Cult stronghold that Huo Yuhao destroyed in the original story, helping them doesn't seem like a big deal. But don't forget, Huo Yuhao has Long Xiaoyao's protection; he doesn't need to offend that madwoman Ye Xishui for Nana's sake.
When he mentioned the words "Holy Spirit Church," Nana suddenly raised her head, and a glimmer of hope appeared in her already tearful eyes, only to be quickly shattered by his rejection.
"You know about the Holy Spirit Cult? Even with your family's power, you can't stand up to them?"
"I know I don't have much to give you."
She stood up, two streams of tears flowing down her cheeks. Her body swayed slightly, as if she were in a trance, and the next moment, her tight-fitting clothes silently slipped off...
Kong Tianxu remained unmoved; it wasn't like he hadn't seen her before. But he had to admit, Nana's figure was near perfect. There wasn't an ounce of excess fat on her body; her perfect curves stretched downwards. Her skin was as smooth and lustrous as cream, radiating a healthy beauty.
If he were to make the assessment, he wouldn't be much worse than Cain.
The dagger clattered to the ground. Nana looked at him through teary eyes and said:
"This body is the only one that's still relatively clean; I've never been touched by another man. If you're willing to help me, I'm willing to give you everything."
"I mean, I can't help you 'right now'." Kong Tianxu bent down and picked up her clothes.
Nana was clearly well-prepared; she wore her school uniform directly against her skin and it even carried a faint, girlish fragrance.
He draped his coat over Nana, who was still somewhat dazed, his fingertips unintentionally brushing against her smooth skin, leaving a lingering, warm residue. He twirled his fingers and continued:
"The Holy Spirit Cult is not as simple as you think. I will deal with them in due time, and I don't need anything from you. But not now. Be patient, you will see that day."
"Also, remember to keep it a secret."
Kong Tianxu patted her shoulder, but Nana suddenly grabbed his waist, her breathing becoming rapid. Due to the intense emotional turmoil, her body was trembling slightly, and the clothes she had just put on slipped off again.
"Thank you... thank you. I was on the verge of despair. If you hadn't helped me, I would have ended my own life sooner or later. Thank you for letting me know that in this corrupt country, there are still things worth believing in."
Kong Tianxu's expression, which had been completely calm, became somewhat stiff due to the sudden embrace. The amazing touch pressed down on him, and he took a deep breath, his fingertips exuding cold air.
"Could you put your clothes on first?"
"Ah~"
Nana shivered and trembled violently, releasing her grip on Kong Tianxu.
She paused for a moment, gradually recovering from her out-of-control emotions, before realizing that she was still disheveled.
Her face flushed slightly, and she hurriedly put on her clothes. Nana gave Kong Tianxu a deep look and said:
"Whether you lied to me or not, I want to thank you for giving me hope. If I have the chance next time, I'd like to tell you about my story."
She took a few steps toward the stairwell, then turned back, her eyes regaining some of their liveliness, a sly smile playing on her lips:
"Furthermore, if you wish, what I say still stands; just let me know."
After saying that, she hurried downstairs as if fleeing, leaving behind only a silhouette that left much to the imagination.
"A woman with incredibly smooth, old shoulders..."
If it weren't for Cain and my cultivation, I would have taken care of you today.
Kong Tianxu steadied himself, suppressed the surging blood and qi within his body, and pushed open the door, preparing to cultivate.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a dark red dagger lying silently on the spot.
He bent down to pick it up, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
She even forgot to take her soul tool; it seems she's not as at ease as she appears.
Nana walked briskly until she reached the bottom of the building, at which point the burning blush on her face began to fade. She patted her cheeks, feeling incredibly embarrassed.
"Aren't the young masters of these noble families supposed to be all extravagant and dissolute, starting to do 'that' before they're even ten? How come he...?"
How embarrassing! She tossed her ponytail, and the burning sensation from their earlier close contact seemed to resurface, causing her to unconsciously squeeze her legs together and quicken her pace on the night path.
Amidst the pounding of her heart, she didn't notice that ever since she came downstairs, a pair of eyes had been staring intently at her.
Watching her hurried departure, the owner of those eyes suddenly parted his lips from his ears, leaned back, and revealed a huge, silent smile to the sky.
But the next moment, the owner of this face seemed dissatisfied with his expression, and began to rub his temples vigorously with both hands. A short while later, a thin layer of skin was peeled off his face.
He held the transparent face high in his hand, and what appeared on his face now was a completely different face—
In that pale, demonic face, arrogance and greed lurked, ready to devour anyone who dared to cross it.
……
Kong Tianxu looked the same the next day. Xu Tianzhen had disappeared early in the morning. Cain glanced at him suspiciously in the early morning but did not say anything.
After finishing their day's lessons, in the evening, they finally boarded the carriage specially sent by the Moonflower Palace.
The driver was still Xie Lixin. Kong Tianxu had only recently learned that Xie's daughter was also studying at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and was a bit older than him. However, her talent was relatively mediocre, and it could be said that she was only able to stay at the academy because of the Moonflower Palace.
Pulled by the horned horses, the carriage sped off at full speed, quickly leaving Mingdu. Kong Tianxu naturally wouldn't choose to ride through the bustling city; they set off directly from the palace, taking a dedicated road leading straight to their destination.
Inside the carriage, Kong Tianxu kept his eyes closed and remained silent, his slender fingers unconsciously tapping the back of his other hand.
Grandpa didn't come this time, partly because he was tied up with the research on humanoid soul tools, and partly to give him maximum autonomy in the technology exchange of soul guns. As for safety, Xu Guoyi valued his own life no less than he did.
But for some reason, he always had a feeling of unease.
Perhaps it was something that happened last night. Kong Tianxu moved his head and rested more comfortably on Cain's plump thighs, quietly enjoying her massage.
"Young Master, we've arrived."
Not long after, Xie Lixin's hoarse voice came, and the swaying of the carriage gradually stopped. Kong Tianxu opened his eyes, got up, and nimbly jumped down from the carriage, looking at the building in front of him.
Despite being called a royal villa, it didn't look like one from the outside. It wasn't until an old woman came forward and led him and Cain, who was dressed as a man, deeper inside that he realized there was a hidden paradise.
Descending along a six-meter-wide staircase for about thirty meters, and passing through an old-fashioned wooden door, the scenery suddenly changes.
The already narrow passage became even wider, with the ivory-white jade bricks paving the ground and extending forward. Every ten meters on both sides, there was a pair of jade pillars carved with exquisite patterns. The walls looked as if they were covered with gold leaf, with intricate and gorgeous patterns carved on them.
All I could see was a golden expanse.
At the end of the passageway, magnificent crystal chandeliers hung down, and in the spacious hall, Xu Guoyi, Xu Tianzhen, and a young man had already taken their seats.
