Chapter 130: Divine Technique — Seal of God
An hour later.
Xiao Xiao threw her soiled stockings into the trash and muttered in mock annoyance, "Ugh… you're such a bad guy…"
"Don't like it? Then I won't do it next time," Ye Chen replied lazily, lying on the couch with a satisfied look.
"If it were anyone else, no way—but if it's you, Ye Chen, then… heehee…"
Instantly changing tone, Xiao Xiao giggled softly and scampered over, pressing herself into his chest and nuzzling like a spoiled kitten.
Yes, Ye Chen could be mischievous—but she didn't mind at all.
A man like him was worth clinging to, worth everything. How could she possibly dislike him?
"Mhm, my Xiao Xiao is such a good girl~"
Ye Chen stroked her hair affectionately, thinking she was irresistibly sweet and obedient—impossible not to love.
"Then… Ye Chen, does this mean I'm your girlfriend now?" Xiao Xiao grasped the hem of his shirt, looking up with anxious, shy eyes.
It felt a bit fast, perhaps—but her feelings for him were entirely genuine.
She wasn't trying to gain anything; she just wanted a bit of reassurance.
"Of course."
Ye Chen leaned over and kissed her round, baby-soft cheek, nodding in acknowledgment.
He figured it was almost time to tell Xiao Xiao about Wang Dong's true gender before future misunderstandings arose.
"Heehee~ that's great~"
At that moment, Xiao Xiao was completely lost in love, unable to free herself, feeling like the happiest girl in the world.
Love releases chemicals that make sweetness increase by 100 and intelligence drop by 100—Xiao Xiao was very much in that state just now.
As she cuddled in his arms, emotions flared, and soon she pushed Ye Chen down, lying on top of him…
While enjoying her affection, Ye Chen quietly triggered his daily sign-in.
[Sign-in successful, skill "Seal of God" obtained.]
[Seal of God: Forms a divine seal capable of binding all things. Seals can stack infinitely; stronger seals consume more soul power. The seals are invisible and undetectable, but weaken over time, especially when cast on stronger targets.]
"Whoa… Seal of God? That's insane!"
Ye Chen stared at the notification, shocked.
According to the description, this ability could theoretically seal even gods.
He wondered if he could use it to seal the divine thought left in Wang Dong by Tang San—then he could… heh…
Ye Chen cleared his mind, quickly assimilating the new skill's knowledge and usage.
He could expend all his soul power in one burst to create an extremely powerful seal, or conjure multiple weaker seals with adjustable intensity.
If a seal wasn't strong enough, it could be reinforced—doubled, multiplied, even a hundredfold stacked together.
And most importantly, he could choose what to seal—body, soul, spirit power, martial soul, skills—or all at once.
Opening his eyes, Ye Chen decided to test it out.
"Hmm… what's wrong?"
Xiao Xiao blinked, licking her slightly reddened lips. She was still catching her breath and clearly hadn't had enough.
"I've got a new sealing ability. Help me test it."
Ye Chen raised his hand as he spoke, a golden mark blooming at his fingertip.
The mark resembled a circular emblem inscribed with countless intricate runes, so complex that one glance made it feel boundless and profound.
Since the seals' power scaled with the soul energy spent, Ye Chen started small—using only one percent of his soul power—to seal Xiao Xiao's first soul skill from her "Ding" martial soul.
When the mark struck her, Xiao Xiao shivered slightly.
"Mm… Ye Chen, what is this? I feel kinda strange…"
She could sense something missing from within her, but she trusted Ye Chen wouldn't harm her.
"Try using your first soul skill," Ye Chen said with a grin.
Xiao Xiao focused immediately—and her face went pale.
"M-my first soul skill… it won't activate!"
Her "Ding" martial soul appeared, revealing two glowing rings—but on the first, dense golden runes swirled, identical to those on Ye Chen's seal.
These symbols completely locked her ability, cutting off the flow of spirit power. She could summon the spirit, but not channel energy—making the skill unusable.
"Don't worry, this is just a test—it'll fade soon."
Ye Chen conjured another golden seal. This time, he used one percent of his power again, but targeted Xiao Xiao's "Soul Suppressing Ding" martial soul itself.
Once the seal entered her, glowing runes wrapped tightly around her martial soul projection.
Instantly, her soul rings vanished altogether. Without the martial soul, there was no way to activate any ability.
"Ah! My martial soul—it's gone too!"
Xiao Xiao turned red, trying desperately to summon her Soul Suppressing Ding, but couldn't. Her secondary spirit, the Nine Phoenix Pavilion Flute, also refused to respond.
"Mm, almost done."
Ye Chen then placed a third seal on her—this one targeting her entire body.
"Ahh… I… I can't move…"
Her body stiffened for an instant before going limp, leaving her lying helplessly in Ye Chen's arms.
"Oh no… is Ye Chen going to take advantage of me now…" Xiao Xiao's panicked thought barely formed before her movement returned.
"How does it feel?" Ye Chen asked, steadying her gently, curious.
As a Soul King, sealing a Grandmaster took little effort—and the test was proof of just how overpowered the skill truly was.
"It's such a weird feeling… Ye Chen, what kind of soul skill is this? It's so strong!" Xiao Xiao exclaimed.
The ability to completely suppress her martial soul and even physical movement made her own Soul Suppressing Ding seem utterly powerless in comparison.
"It's top secret. A self-created skill of mine—only you know about it so far. So don't go telling anyone~" Ye Chen pinched her soft cheek, pretending to be stern.
Though he didn't need to worry—Xiao Xiao would never betray his trust.
His words were just another way to boost her affection.
Sure enough, when she heard that she alone knew Ye Chen's secret, her heart filled with warmth and pride.
It meant Ye Chen truly trusted her—and her place in his heart was not insignificant.
