The girl thought for a moment before speaking.
"My name is Hu Liena. You may not have heard of me, but you should know about the Spirit Hall, right? I am the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall."
It really was her! But why wasn't she in Spirit City? Why was she in Fasno Province? On vacation?
This was Yin Hao's moment to shine. He opened his mouth slightly, looking surprised.
"Ah? You're the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall? That's amazing!"
No one dislikes being praised, even though countless people had said that to her since childhood.
"Little brother, can you tell me your name? And what is a Spirit?"
Yin Hao hesitated, head down, looking naive.
"Um… but my grandfather doesn't allow me to tell strangers my name…"
Hu Liena suddenly smiled, two dimples appearing on her cheeks, adding to her already charming face. She
seemed to be a talented and strong child, but naive…
So, after thinking for a moment, Hu Liena spoke again.
"But I just told you my name, so we're acquainted now. So you're not a stranger anymore, right?"
Yin Hao thought for a moment, resting his chin on his hand, and nodded, seemingly agreeing.
In reality, he was frantically mobilizing his mental energy to expand the Blue Silver Domain, but even after expanding it to a radius of two kilometers, he still didn't detect any other Spirit Hall personnel.
Even so, Yin Hao didn't dare to let his guard down. Since he didn't know what she was there for, she could be an enemy; one should always be cautious!
Seeing Yin Hao nod, Hu Liena felt her deception had worked. She thought he was an easy child to fool, so the manipulative Hu Liena officially went online and continued,
"Now that I'm not a stranger anymore, little brother, can you tell me your name?"
As a result, under Hu Liena's persuasive words, the naive Yin Hao was successfully fooled and asked.
"Alright then, my name is Yin Hao, I'm a sixth-year student at Notting Academy, and my martial soul is Blue Silver Grass."
Hearing this, Hu Liena's eyes suddenly lit up. She quickly took out a piece of paper from her pocket, looking at it while muttering to herself.
"Long blue hair, a name with the character 'Hao,' and my martial soul is Blue Silver Grass—these all match up, and… there's one more."
Hu Liena then looked up at Yin Hao again, revealing a friendly smile.
"Little brother Yin Hao, could you summon your martial soul for your sister to see?"
Yin Hao frowned slightly. What did this woman want? Was Hu Liena's curiosity really that intense in the original story?
Nevertheless, he nodded and summoned the Blue Silver Emperor.
The moment she saw the Blue Silver Emperor, Hu Liena instantly became excited.
"Gold stripes! The last one matches too! It was worth spending more than two months in this godforsaken place!"
Yin Hao looked at Hu Liena's smiling face and suddenly remembered the expressions of the traffickers who saw the child alone in his previous life. It seemed to be very similar to Hu Liena now…
Then Yin Hao took a few steps back without making a sound, wanting to leave quietly without disturbing Hu Liena.
But he hadn't taken more than a few steps when Hu Liena noticed him.
However, she didn't care, and quickly walked to Yin Hao's side, grabbing his hand.
Children in Douluo Continent develop quickly, and Yin Hao was no exception. At only eleven years old, he was already close to 1.6 to 1.7 meters tall, though still a little shorter than Hu Liena in her high heels.
"Little brother Yin Hao, come with me, I'll take you to a good place."
Yin Hao quickly shook off Hu Liena's hand. Although he liked beautiful women, he always considered his own safety.
Hu Liena looked like a kidnapper; how could Yin Hao possibly go with her?
Perhaps realizing her lapse in composure, Hu Liena immediately adjusted her attitude, speaking in a gentle tone,
"Little brother Yin Hao, how about coming with me? I won't hurt you..."
Yin Hao pretended to think while simultaneously gathering his soul power behind his back. If Hu Liena tried to force him away, he would strike first.
Just then, Hu Liena seemed to remember something. She took out a black box from the bracelet on her left wrist and said,
"Brother Yin Hao, don't be afraid. This should prove I won't harm you."
Yin Hao carefully examined the box, then took it from the spot Hu Liena had just touched, tried to open the lid, but couldn't... He
then looked at Hu Liena with a puzzled expression, wondering why she had given him a box he couldn't open.
Hu Liena was also taken aback, quickly took out the paper from before, and carefully read it again. Then, she made a look of sudden realization and said,
"Brother Yin Hao, you can open this box by putting a drop of your blood on it."
Although he was somewhat puzzled, he didn't seem to have the right to refuse now. Not to mention that Hu Liena had managed to evade his Blue Silver Domain's detection, proving that she was probably beyond his ability to handle now. Moreover
, as the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, coming to a place so far from Spirit City, Yin Hao simply couldn't believe she didn't have a Title Douluo as her protector.
Following Hu Liena's instructions, Yin Hao pricked his finger with a small ice spike and dripped a drop of blood onto the box.
With a "click," the box opened.
Yin Hao looked inside; there was nothing else, only a small note. Hu Liena also looked over curiously, but she didn't touch the note.
Yin Hao picked up the note, glanced at it, and immediately closed it again, eliciting a resentful look from Hu Liena, who had wanted to take a look as well. Yin
Hao looked at Hu Liena, his eyes no longer childish. In those few seconds, many thoughts raced through his mind.
One of them was whether to use his Sharingan to control Hu Liena and force her to reveal where the note came from. After all, after four years of effort, Yin Hao had successfully exchanged for a three-tomoe Sharingan in the system shop, spending a full 100,000 gold soul coins! More than half of his four years' savings were gone in an instant!
However, Yin Hao quickly dismissed the idea. Leaving aside the fact that Hu Liena primarily cultivated mental power, and the question of how long or how successfully he could control her, the protectors surrounding her wouldn't make things easy for him once he did.
Left with no other choice, Yin Hao forced a smile and asked,
"Sister Hu Liena, who gave you this box?"
