Chapter 75: Xiao Yin's Plan
Liu Erlong and Jiang Zhu stared in amazement at the scene of Xiao Yin almost "resurrecting to full health on the spot", and their brains seemed to be shut down.
This recovery ability...
Isn't this a bit too outrageous!
Liu Erlong subconsciously stretched out her hand and wanted to touch his chest to confirm, but when her fingertips touched the warm and solid panel, she suddenly realized that Xiao Yin was shirtless at the moment!
The smooth and powerful muscle lines seem to contain explosive power under the light.
"Ah!"
Liu Erlong retracted her hand suddenly as if she was scalded, two blushes appeared on her cheeks instantly, and her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.
Only then did she realize that Xiao Yin had taken off his torn shirt at some point and was talking to them shirtless!
Jiang Zhu, who was standing by, had already lowered her head in shame, her ears were red, and she didn't dare to glance around, but she couldn't help but secretly look up, her heart pounding.
Senior's figure... turns out to be so good...
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became ambiguous and awkward.
"Ahem…"
Liu Erlong forced herself to remain calm and coughed twice, trying to dispel the strange atmosphere.
She turned to Jiang Zhu and said, "Jiang Zhu, you've worked hard today. Go back and rest first. He and I... have some things to discuss."
Jiang Zhu nodded quickly as if she had been pardoned, her voice as soft as a mosquito: "Yes, Dean. Senior, you... you should have a good rest."
After saying that, she almost ran out of the room as if escaping, and closed the door considerately (in a panic).
Only Xiao Yin and Liu Erlong were left in the room.
Liu Erlong took a deep breath, walked to the bed and sat down, looking at Xiao Yin with complicated eyes, and said with a puzzled tone:
"Why did you work so hard during the day? You could..."
Xiao Yin's smile faded, his eyes becoming penetrating. "If we don't make it look more realistic, how can we fool those old foxes?"
He pointed at himself and said, "I'm a level 58 Soul King, and I'm battling a level 81 Soul Douluo with their eighth Spirit skill. If I only get slightly injured, or even stay alive and kicking...
If that gets out, will I still be called a 'genius'? I'm afraid I'll be labeled a 'monster' right away.
By then, it won't just be the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family that will come. The Spirit Hall, the Empire, and even more hidden forces will try every possible means to capture me and study me."
Liu Erlong was shocked when she heard this, and instantly understood Xiao Yin's intention!
He is hiding his abilities!
He used the illusion of being seriously injured and unconscious to cover up his truly terrifying strength!
"And,"
Xiao Yin continued in a low voice, "In today's battle, I only exposed four Spirit skills: Chewing Iron, Devouring Essence, Devouring Abyss, and Swallowing Ashes.
Although the effect is amazing, it is still within the scope of understanding of 'Spirit skills'.
As for my real trump card..."
A gleam of light flashed in Xiao Yin's eyes, thinking of his Taotie Spirit pressure, two Dragon King Spirit bones... and even the beast transformation...
"But I haven't used it at all. Spirit skills are meant to be used frequently. Revealing some of them in advance so people can be mentally prepared is better than suddenly using something more terrifying one day."
Liu Erlong stared at him blankly, with a storm in her heart.
It turns out... the seemingly mutually destructive battle during the day was actually still under his control and calculation?
He even considered the subsequent impact and hid the real trump card!
This kind of scheming and strength... is simply terrifying!
She once again deeply realized that this man in front of her, who was much younger than her, was meticulous and far-sighted, and was far from being as lazy and casual as he appeared on the surface.
"So... you're really okay?"
Liu Erlong still confirmed it again with some concern, and her voice became much softer.
"It's really okay now."
Xiao Yin nodded affirmatively and reached out to hold her hand, his palm warm and strong. "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Feeling the warmth and strength of his palm, Liu Erlong's tense heartstrings finally relaxed completely, and a sense of security and dependence surged in her heart.
She held Xiao Yin's hand tightly with her backhand and said "hmm" softly.
The two were silent for a moment, enjoying the quietness of the moment.
After a while, Liu Erlong sighed, a trace of worry on her face:
"Today, I have completely slapped Yu Luomian in the face. From what I know about him, he will never let this go. I'm afraid it won't be long before he comes here in person."
Xiao Yin's eyes were slightly cold. "As expected. With a Soul Douluo and two Soul Sages defeated here, it would be strange if he could still sit still."
He pondered for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, I will go find Dugu Bo."
Liu Erlong's eyes lit up: "That's right! Senior Dugu's poisonous injuries are now completely gone, his strength has greatly improved, and he is a Titled Douluo. With him coming forward..."
"Um."
Xiao Yin nodded, "Dugu Bo owes me a favor, it's not reasonable for him to sit idly by. With him here, at least he can calm the situation and prevent Yu Luomian from going too far."
Liu Erlong looked at Xiao Yin, her heart filled with gratitude.
He always arranges everything at the most critical moment.
"Thank you, Xiao Yin..." she said softly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yin suddenly gave a wicked smile, exerted force with his arms, picked up Liu Erlong, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, by the waist, and placed her on his lap.
"Ah! What are you doing!"
Liu Erlong cried out in surprise and subconsciously struggled a bit, but her strength was weak and her cheeks instantly turned red. Her phoenix eyes glared at him shyly and angrily.
"You're not serious anymore since you just recovered from your injury!"
"We're a family, there's no need to say thank you or not."
Xiao Yin hugged her soft and elastic waist, resting his chin on her fragrant hair, his voice low and ambiguous,
"Besides, the dean was so worried that she cried just now. Shouldn't she compensate me?"
"Who...who is crying?! What nonsense!"
Liu Erlong retorted in embarrassment, but her body softened and she snuggled in his arms, feeling the reassuring warmth.
The moonlight outside the window is hazy, and the lights inside the room are warm.
This night was destined to be speechless, yet it seemed to speak thousands of words.
-----------------
The next morning, at dawn, Xiao Yin left Blue Tyrant Academy quietly.
Half an hour later, he appeared at the entrance of the valley outside the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
The poison array at the entrance of the valley was useless to him, and he walked in naturally as if he was going home.
The valley was still as warm as spring, and the fragrance of exotic flowers and plants filled the air, but the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire in the center had lost its former magic and become much more ordinary.
Dugu Bo was sitting cross-legged beside a spring, seemingly meditating and practicing.
Sensing Xiao Yin's breath, he slowly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his green pupils, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Tsk, what a rare guest."
Dugu Bo stood up, brushed off the non-existent dust on his robe, and looked Xiao Yin up and down with a tone full of ridicule.
"I heard you were so impressive yesterday? With your Soul King body, you fought against the Soul Douluo elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, and both of you were injured?
In Heaven Dou City right now, your popularity is almost catching up to what I was back then!"
Xiao Yin: "…"
