Chapter 185 Recruiting the Golden-Haired Dragon Girl, Her Seven-Level Advancement Stuns Everyone
The wind whistled in his ears.
Dai Huabin activated the flying soul tool, steadily supporting Di Lingxi with both hands.
The girl clung to him tightly, her blonde hair disheveled by the wind, occasionally brushing against his chin, making him feel a little itchy.
Her figure was shapely and graceful; holding her in his arms, he couldn't help but have some impure thoughts.
Unable to dwell on it, Dai Huabin was already thinking about how he should explain to the group when they caught up that a living person had suddenly appeared in his arms.
Zhu Lu was easy to deal with; she had seen the Emperor Auspicious Beast and they understood each other perfectly.
But what would Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Ma Xiaotao, and Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister of the inner courtyard, think?
He went out for a short while and brought back a stunning blonde girl.
He estimated that his image in this team would be completely tied to the word "womanizer."
Dai Huabin sighed helplessly to himself.
Never mind, it doesn't matter anymore.
Anyway, I'm not a good person, so be it. It's better than lying and not being able to cover it up.
"Hua Bin, what are you thinking about?"
A crisp voice came from his arms.
Di Lingxi tilted her head back, a strand of golden hair clinging to her fair cheek, her amber-gold pupils staring intently at him.
"I'm thinking about how to introduce you to the senior sisters later," Dai Huabin said truthfully, glancing down at her.
Di Lingxi blinked and replied matter-of-factly, "What's so difficult about that? Just tell them I'm your older sister!"
Dai Huabin couldn't resist and freed one hand to pinch her soft cheek. "No way! If you want to be someone, you can only be the younger sister!"
"Why?" Di Lingxi shook her head in dissatisfaction, trying to break free from his hand. "I've lived much longer than you!"
"In the human world, I call the shots."
Dai Huabin tightened his grip, causing Di Lingxi to gasp softly before he released her.
"Remember, you're the younger sister."
Bing Di, flying alongside them, couldn't stand it any longer and interjected:
"What's there to worry about? When we meet them, we'll just say she's from my and Xue'er's family."
Xue Qingyao nodded slightly from the other side, her clear, cool voice carrying over:
"Well, Hua Bin, let's just say it like that. A junior from a reclusive family coming out to gain experience—that's the easiest excuse."
Dai Huabin thought this was a good idea; at least it made sense on the surface. It's normal for a reclusive family to have a few more members.
He looked down at Di Lingxi, who had settled down in his arms again, and casually asked:
"Lingxi, now that you've transformed into human form and started cultivating again, what level of strength do you possess?"
Di Lingxi tilted her head back, her tone tinged with smugness:
"Level 58. My Spirit is the Golden Dragon, and I'm incredibly strong. Most people simply can't beat me."
Level 58.
Dai Huabin silently made his plans.
The potential of the mythical beast in human form is indeed terrifying; it starts at a level higher than most inner courtyard disciples.
With the addition of the Golden Dragon Spirit, which possessed ultimate power, her combat ability was probably no less than that of a high-level Soul Emperor.
"Okay, level 58 is enough." Dai Huabin nodded. "When you meet everyone later, remember not to say anything out of line and just follow my instructions."
Di Lingxi obediently said "Oh," buried her face in his chest again, and hugged him even tighter.
After a long while, as darkness fell, the outline of a continuous mountain range appeared in the distance.
Dai Huabin sensed the fluctuations in the soul power of Zhang Lexuan and the others from afar.
The team was resting on a gentle hillside.
Four streaks of light descended from the sky and landed steadily on the open ground.
The flying soul tool was retracted, and Dai Huabin landed with Di Lingxi in his arms.
The people who were resting nearby stopped in unison.
An eerie silence fell over the air.
Wang Dong'er was holding a water bottle in her hand, her mouth slightly open.
Xiao Xiao rubbed her eyes, thinking she was seeing things.
Cui Yajie gasped in shock.
Ma Xiaotao crossed her arms, looked the blonde girl in Dai Huabin's arms up and down, and sneered:
"Hua Bin, your private affair has not only taken a long time, but you've also reaped quite a reward."
Zhang Lexuan stood not far away, her expression calm, but her eyebrows twitched slightly.
Zhu Lu was the first to step forward. Ignoring the blonde girl, she first took Dai Huabin's wrist and softly asked:
"You weren't in any danger, were you?"
"No." Dai Huabin took Zhu Lu's hand in return and squeezed it to reassure her.
He put Di Lingxi down, cleared his throat, and faced the crowd:
"Let me introduce you. This is Di Lingxi, the younger sister of Xue'er and Bing'er's family. We happened to meet her while we were training in this area, so we brought her along."
Ice Emperor readily stepped forward, took Di Lingxi's hand, and nodded to everyone with a stern face:
"My cousin. Her elders in the family sent her out to see the world."
Xue Qingyao stood aside, maintaining her usual aloofness, and remained silent, but this in itself was a pre-arranged premise.
Wang Dong'er shoved the water bottle heavily into her bag and muttered to herself:
"What kind of family is this, producing such devastatingly beautiful women who all flock to you?"
Cui Yajie nodded in agreement.
Ma Xiaotao took a few steps closer and circled around Di Lingxi. Di Lingxi looked back without backing down, exuding a faint aura of arrogant pressure.
"This little girl has quite a temper."
Ma Xiaotao sensed the faint sense of oppression and was secretly surprised.
She was a level 67 Soul Emperor; anyone who could put pressure on her had to be an extraordinary blonde girl.
Zhang Lexuan walked over, her voice gentle, but with a hint of scrutiny:
"Since she's Xue Qingyao and Bing Hanyue's cousin, it's fine for her to come with the group. However, we're on a surveillance mission this time, which carries some risk. What is Lingxi's cultivation level?"
"Level 58," Dai Huabin answered for her.
Upon hearing this, a collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd.
Yao Haoxuan's eyes widened:
"How much? Level 58? She looks like she's only eighteen at most."
Chen Zifeng also had a look of disbelief on his face.
Which of these inner courtyard disciples didn't fight tooth and nail to cultivate to the Soul King level? And yet, some random girl suddenly appeared at level 58?
A look of surprise flashed in Zhang Lexuan's eyes, then she nodded. "Level 58, not bad. Let's go together then."
She was just about to turn around and tell everyone to continue on their way when she suddenly stopped.
Zhang Lexuan suddenly turned her head and stared intently at Dai Huabin.
Not only her, but also Wu Ming, Han Ruoruo, and Ma Xiaotao, these top combatants of the inner courtyard, noticed something was wrong at almost the same time.
"Hua Bin, is there any fluctuation in your soul power?"
Ma Xiaotao's voice was full of surprise. She stepped forward, grabbed Dai Huabin's shoulder, and felt him up and down.
Dai Huabin made no attempt to conceal himself, openly releasing his soul power.
Level 55!
