From the moment Yun Ming appeared, he had been ambushed by the Demon Emperor, narrowly escaping death only to think he had found salvation, and now he was to be devoured by his future self—this was truly like being lured out of his home just to be slaughtered!
Although even if he were devoured by another version of himself, he would still be himself in essence, he didn't want to die just like that!
The more Ao Tian thought about it, the more stifled he felt, and he couldn't help but vent.
"Damn heavens, this King will****"
The few Yun Mings watched Ao Tian spewing profanities and didn't know what to say, only the Evil King thought of his own past experience and sighed aloud.
"It's a good thing I was in the Time-Space Arena when I became a Soul Spirit, otherwise, who knows what kind of mess would have happened."
The speaker had no intention, but the listener took it to heart. Hearing the Evil King's words, Yun Ming thought about the current situation and suddenly saw the light. Yes! He couldn't change the rules of the world, but giving Ao Tian a world he could control should work! Thinking of this, Yun Ming immediately shared his idea with the two Ao Tians.
After hearing it, the two Ao Tians' eyes lit up and they acted immediately. With the help of the Evil King, the Ao Tian of this era transferred his origin into Yun Ming's special Fifth Soul Ring, and the connection between the two Ao Tians was indeed severed.
Seeing this result, Yun Ming was lost in thought.
In one time and space, everyone must be unique; is it forbidden for two identical people to exist? Otherwise, the strong will devour the weak?
No one gave him an answer, but judging from the fact that the current Ao Tian began to suffer as soon as the future 'Ao Tian' revived, that must be the case.
After solving the problem of Ao Tian's survival and seeing that both Ao Tians had gone to stabilize their origins, he withdrew from his meditative state.
Yun Ming opened his eyes and found that outside the window was a brilliant starry sky, like an endless velvet scroll, with stars twinkling with mysterious light. Under the starlight, a beautiful young girl was leaning against the table, propping her face with one hand and dozing off; this girl was naturally Ya Li.
Seeing Ya Li's little head bobbing, Yun Ming felt a bit amused, but also felt happy and a little bit heartbroken. The happiness came from having someone guarding him, and the heartbreak was, of course, because his Wife couldn't even get a good night's sleep.
He got up and came to Ya Li's side, gently picking her up, wanting to let her sleep on the bed. However, Ya Li was a Soul Master after all; even though Yun Ming tried to control his movements to be as gentle as possible, she woke up the moment he picked her up.
Seeing Ya Li wake up, Yun Ming apologized.
"Sorry! I woke you up."
Ya Li, who had been startled awake, saw it was Yun Ming and naturally didn't resist, letting him carry her while her hands wrapped around Yun Ming's neck, saying.
"Is the breakthrough over?"
Yun Ming said softly.
"It's over."
"Go to sleep first! We'll talk tomorrow."
Ya Li nodded, and the two fell asleep in each other's arms, silent for the rest of the night.
The next day, early morning.
Yun Ming opened his eyes and found that Ya Li was already awake, looking at him with a smile.
"Good morning! You big lazy bug who can sleep even more than me."
To this, Yun Ming said solemnly.
"How can the Saint Spirit slander an innocent person out of thin air! If we're talking about who can sleep more, I'm just a small shaman compared to a great one in front of you!"
Yun Ming wasn't wrong; as the possessor of the Wish Angel Spirit, Ya Li's cultivation method was to do good deeds, so she didn't have to suffer through meditation like ordinary Soul Masters, which meant she could have her beauty sleep every day.
It was just that while the facts were the facts, Yun Ming saying it so directly made a certain angel girl a bit unhappy.
Ya Li watched Yun Ming say such blunt truths with a straight face; although she was unhappy, she couldn't find any reason to refute him, so she finally had to use her ultimate move: the 'expressionless angel stare'.
Seeing Ya Li start to stare straight at him with those clean, gentle eyes again, Yun Ming's solution was simple: stare back.
Yun Ming could withstand Ya Li's gaze, which had no lethality and even seemed a bit cute; instead, it was Ya Li whose pretty face began to turn red as she looked at the handsome face in front of her. Finally, seeing that Ya Li was about to lose her composure, Yun Ming took the initiative to admit defeat and chuckled.
"The Saint Spirit's Pupil Technique is truly powerful; I admit defeat! It's not that the Saint Spirit can sleep, it's mainly because you're still growing and need more sleep."
Seeing Yun Ming admit defeat, Ya Li dropped her previous expression and, like a proud Phoenix, acted spoiled.
"Glad you know. Since you're somewhat sensible, I'll spare you today."
Yun Ming continued to coax her.
"Yes, yes, the Saint Spirit is the most magnanimous. Then why don't I help the Saint Spirit check her physical condition?"
When Ya Li heard Yun Ming wanted to check her body, she knew this man was up to no good. Her pretty face flushed instantly, and she immediately said.
"Next time, I have to treat the injured today."
She then wanted to run away, but Yun Ming wouldn't let her leave so easily. He reached out, pulled Ya Li back, and gave a wicked smile.
"It's fine, playing for a while doesn't matter."
Seeing that escape was hopeless, Ya Li was forced to stay for a physical check-up.
Afterward, it was time for the Saint Spirit's happiness—no, the physical check-up.
Half an hour later, the door to Yun Ming's room opened. Ya Li walked out, her dress full of wrinkles and a damp patch, her face bright red. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was looking, she hurried back to her room to change her clothes.
Watching Ya Li run away, Yun Ming whispered with a smile.
"The Saint Spirit is truly made of water."
When Ya Li came out again and saw Yun Ming, thinking of how he had meticulously checked her body earlier, her face still felt hot.
Ning Rongrong saw the Big Sister Head arrive and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
"Sister Ya Li, morning!"
Back in the outside world, Ya Li returned to her image as a gentle big sister. Seeing her little sister greet her, she naturally had to respond in kind.
"Morning!"
Looking at Ya Li, whose complexion was rosy and skin radiant early in the morning, Ning Rongrong said with a hint of envy.
"Sister Ya Li, your skin is so good! It's glowing with a rosy tint this morning. Do you have some kind of skincare secret?"
Hearing Ning Rongrong's question, Ya Li paused for a moment before answering naturally.
"No, Rongrong's skin is also very good! It's like a lychee; you don't need those things."
After all, she couldn't exactly say that the secret was simple: Little Oscar was her secret!
Being complimented on her appearance by a beauty like Ya Li, Ning Rongrong's attention was immediately diverted, and she replied happily.
"Not at all."
On the other side, Yun Ming heard Ya Li deceiving the girl and the corners of his mouth curled up. Ya Li caught a glimpse of this and glared at him; it was all his doing, after all.
After exchanging a meaningful look with Ya Li, Yun Ming turned his gaze toward Oscar, whose spirit and energy had undergone a transformation. Sensing the Soul Power fluctuations on him that he couldn't yet fully control—appearing to be around level forty-two—he nodded slightly and asked aloud.
"How is it? The Spirit Skill granted by the Evil Spirit Orca Spirit Ring."
