The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Chapter 114 Meeting Yu Youqing

And so, Ye Ling pretended to be very powerful, even though few people knew she was out in public. But by adhering to the principle that her identity was entirely self-evident, she managed to fool them.

Everyone had their own guesses, but the one thing they all had in common was that they would never interfere with other people's affairs.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as the young man in front of her, dressed in fine clothes but with an innocent look on his face. Ye Ling felt an inexplicable fondness for the young man in front of her because she saw a clear stupidity in his eyes, just like the classmates around her when she was in college.

The two stared at each other, both able to see curiosity in each other's eyes, but Yu Youqing saw... well... disgust in the other's eyes.

Unsure, let me think about it... That's right, it's disgust! Yu Youqing pouted, suddenly feeling a little wronged, the cute dog's eyes almost overflowing with grievance.

Ye Ling clicked her tongue, thinking to herself, "This unlucky kid, his thoughts are all written on his face. He looks so easy to fool that I almost feel bad about cheating him."

Yu Youqing, on the other hand, was thinking, "What's wrong with this pretty lady? Why is she looking at Yun Lang with the same expression? Does she look down on him...?"

As Yu Youqing's thoughts wandered, he twisted his sleeves in his hand. The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved and pitiful he seemed. Ye Ling's lips twitched as she looked at his aggrieved appearance. What was going on? She hadn't done anything yet! How could this be? It was as if she had bullied him. Ye Ling began to doubt herself and started to recall what had just happened.

Not long ago…

Ye Ling was wandering around the street when she suddenly heard two people talking. Looking up, she saw a tall man who looked strong and powerful, but with a fierce and menacing appearance. He looked like he had lived a life of danger for many years. Next to him was a short, stuttering man with cunning eyes. He was clearly not someone to be trifled with.

Are you sure he's alone?

"Big...brother, I...I'm sure, there's...nobody here!"

"That's a big, fat sheep!"

After speaking, he glanced at Ye Ling with ill intent. Ye Ling's face turned cold, and a hint of killing intent appeared in her eyes. However, the man's next sentence made the killing intent in her eyes vanish.

"That...troublesome...guy, was...lured away by...the third brother, and won't be able to come to class for...a while."

"That's good!"

Ye Ling breathed a sigh of relief. It was alright, as long as they weren't staring at her. Although Ye Ling was good at putting on a show and scaring people, she still needed to be cautious. So she paid extra attention to the gazes and sounds around her, especially the two people who had been staring at her with ill intent for a long time. That's why she paid extra attention to them. It turned out to be a false alarm.

Ye Ling frowned, thinking to herself, "But... if they're not targeting me, then who could it be?"

As she was thinking, she subconsciously turned around to see which unlucky guy it was. But just as she turned around, before she could even look up, the crystal in the space emitted a dazzling green light. Ye Ling sensed it and probed into it with her divine sense, and saw this scene.

Ye Ling was extremely excited. It seemed that the destined chosen one was nearby. Finally, a scapegoat had come knocking on her door. How could Ye Ling not be excited? But when she looked up and saw the situation clearly, she froze completely.

A delighted voice rang out in front of her, "Pretty sister, we look like we're dressed as a couple!"

"What the hell? Daoist couple's clothes? What are you talking about?" That was Ye Ling's reaction after hearing his words.

Ye Ling looked up and met the young man's gaze. After seeing his face clearly, the word "idiot" popped into Ye Ling's mind.

The boy opposite her looked like he wasn't even an adult yet, with an innocent, childlike appearance, cute puppy eyes, and little tiger teeth peeking out from the corners of his mouth. Coupled with his silly smile, he reminded her of a modern chibi cartoon character.

"Tsk tsk, so the uke in comics really exists. This one in front of me is a perfect example."

Ye Ling's thoughts drifted away, and a cryptic smile appeared on her lips. Suddenly, she felt the boy in front of her looking at her with clear, innocent eyes, his face clearly asking why she was smiling.

Ye Ling coughed softly, pulling her scattered thoughts back.

"Damn, what was I thinking? How did I reveal that I'm a seasoned fujoshi? What a blunder. But he's really immersing himself in the story."

"Wait, what am I thinking? This guy came right off the bat and said they were wearing Daoist couple's robes. He's offending people right from the start and has absolutely no sense of boundaries!"

Then, Ye Ling glanced at the other person's clothes. The two people's clothes were quite similar in terms of the text, color and style. If you didn't look closely, you would really think they were couple's clothes.

However, the moment Ye Ling saw her attire, her expression turned ugly.

"Damn, with his silly look and that outfit, could he be the unlucky guy?!"

Ye Ling scanned the two people with her divine sense and saw their curious and exasperated expressions. Her face darkened completely.

But the "idiot" in front of her didn't know why the pretty woman's face kept changing from happy to gloomy. He thought he had said something wrong and scratched his head.

Thinking to myself, "I don't realize I said anything wrong. Aren't our clothes quite similar to couple's outfits?"

Ye Ling hesitated for a moment, weighing the pros and cons, and decided not to save him. This man was obviously a young master with status and power, and from the conversation between the two, it seemed that there was another person with him, who seemed to be quite powerful. Why should she get involved in this mess?
