Ye Ling’s demonic energy infiltrated Bai Qiao’s inner demon soul, quickly locating the spiritual body hidden deep within. He was about to pull it out.
“W-wait, sir! I surrender! Please don’t act!”
At the moment Ye Ling was about to make his move, a voice filled with panic erupted from the depths of Bai Qiao’s inner demon soul. Subsequently, a large amount of black energy dissipated around Bai Qiao, and a black, semi-transparent humanoid spiritual body materialized before her.
Seeing a humanoid creature fly out from within her, Bai Qiao’s expression shifted slightly. She thought Ye Ling had done something to her and questioned him, “W-what exactly did you do to me? What is that thing?”
Watching a semi-transparent humanoid creature emerge from her own body was horrifying to even imagine!
Seeing Bai Qiao’s current state, Ye Ling realized she was unaware of the humanoid spiritual body’s existence. He explained to her, “This thing was parasitic in your soul. I was just helping you pull it out.”
“Parasitic in my soul?” Bai Qiao’s eyes were filled with suspicion. “Are you trying to trick me? If it was really on me, how could I not know about such a large entity?”
Seeing that Bai Qiao didn’t believe him, Ye Ling sighed slightly and addressed the humanoid spiritual body, “Tell me yourself, what exactly are you, and what is your purpose in being parasitic within Bai Qiao?”
“If you can’t explain yourself, I’ll consider you an evil entity and erase you directly.”
Upon hearing Ye Ling’s words, the spiritual body panicked and immediately knelt before him, kowtowing and begging for mercy. “Sir, spare me! I don’t know what I am myself, but I can guarantee I have no ill intentions towards my host!”
Ye Ling raised an eyebrow. “You don’t know who you are?”
The humanoid spiritual body stammered, “I-I really don’t know. Ever since I woke up, I found myself in the host’s soul. I don’t know anything else!”
Bai Qiao frowned. “You don’t even know who you are? Who would believe you!”
Challenged by Bai Qiao, the humanoid spiritual body was on the verge of tears. It quickly turned and kowtowed to Bai Qiao, “My dear lady, please believe me, I truly know nothing!”
“Ever since you came out of that underground base, I’ve been in your soul. If I truly had malicious intent, why wouldn’t I have acted before?”
Seeing the humanoid spiritual body’s demeanor, Bai Qiao began to hesitate.
After all, she had also lost all her memories after waking up, only knowing that she had an extremely close connection with Bai Qiao and that she had to protect Bai Qiao at all costs.
Ye Ling, seeing that the humanoid spiritual body didn’t seem to be lying, also furrowed his brow.
This humanoid spiritual body appeared after Bai Qiao accepted the inheritance of the Creation God, and like Bai Qiao, it had also lost its memory…
It was clear that this humanoid spiritual body was intricately linked to the Creation God’s inheritance and Bai Qiao’s amnesia. Understanding the origin of the humanoid spiritual body would likely help clarify the current situation.
With this thought, Ye Ling directly enveloped the humanoid spiritual body with his demonic energy to analyze its composition. He discovered that it was a consciousness entity composed entirely of soul power.
In essence, this humanoid spiritual body was a complete mass of soul energy, and moreover, it was absorbable.
“An energy body with consciousness. It seems to be of a similar type to Bai Qiao’s father, a product of heaven and earth,” Ye Ling murmured. After understanding the composition of the humanoid spiritual body, he then searched its memories. He found that it indeed only had fragmented memories from after leaving the Dragon Department base and posed no threat to Bai Qiao’s inner demon.
After confirming the humanoid spiritual body’s safety, Ye Ling withdrew his demonic energy and said to Bai Qiao, “I’ve seen its memories. It wasn’t lying.”
Bai Qiao remained somewhat wary of Ye Ling and said sternly, “Why should I believe you?”
Ye Ling smiled. “With such a vast difference in our strength, is there any need for me to deceive you?”
“This…” Hearing Ye Ling’s words, Bai Qiao was momentarily stunned and speechless.
Indeed, the aura Ye Ling had just exuded had made her realize the immense gap between them.
If Ye Ling truly intended to act, she would be no match for him!
Under such circumstances, Ye Ling had no reason to beat around the bush and lie to her.
Gradually lowering her guard, Bai Qiao said, “Alright… I’ll believe you for now. But I don’t remember anything. Who exactly are you? And why are you helping me?”
Ye Ling shook his head and smiled. “Silly girl, I am your master.”
“Master?”
Upon hearing Ye Ling’s answer, Bai Qiao suddenly felt a strange sensation. She inexplicably wanted to ask Ye Ling a question.
Bai Qiao subconsciously asked, “Then what is my name?”
“This…” Hearing Bai Qiao’s question, Ye Ling was instantly stunned, unable to answer for a moment.
It was then he realized that even though Bai Qiao had become an independent entity, he had always treated her as an inner demon and had never bothered to give her a proper name.
In this regard, he had indeed neglected Bai Qiao’s feelings.
Seeing Ye Ling hesitate, a shadow flashed in Bai Qiao’s eyes. She immediately turned her back to Bai Qiao, and said coldly, “You don’t even know my name, and you claim to be my master?”
“You’re a liar!”
With that, Bai Qiao, carrying Bai Qiao on her back, bypassed Ye Ling and fled into the distance.
The humanoid spiritual body kneeling on the ground, seeing Bai Qiao depart, was unsure of what was happening. It could only kowtow to Ye Ling, “S-sir, I-I cannot distance myself from that girl, so I’ll take my leave…”
After saying that, the humanoid spiritual body kowtowed twice more to Ye Ling and was about to dissipate, intending to chase after Bai Qiao.
“Wait.”
Ye Ling called out to the humanoid spiritual body, causing it to tremble violently.
It thought Ye Ling was going to attack it and looked at Ye Ling fearfully, stammering, “S-sir?”
Ye Ling pondered for a moment before saying, “When you return to her side, help me deliver a message.”
Seeing that Ye Ling wasn’t going to kill him, the humanoid spiritual body finally relaxed and then said, “Please speak, sir. I guarantee I will deliver the message to my host!”
Ye Ling said, “Tell her her name is Ye Qiao.”
Upon hearing Ye Ling’s words, the humanoid spiritual body was first stunned, then it reacted and nodded repeatedly to Ye Ling, “I-I understand, I guarantee I will deliver the message!”
After saying that, the humanoid spiritual body dared not linger beside Ye Ling any longer. It immediately dissipated and chased after Ye Qiao.
After the humanoid spiritual body left, Ye Ling sighed softly and muttered to himself, “I didn’t expect… that girl still remembered her name even with amnesia. I thought she was joking before. This is indeed my dereliction of duty as a master.”
After all, even though Ye Qiao now had independent consciousness, she must have desperately wanted to break free from Bai Qiao’s shadow and become a true individual.
Ye Qiao could no longer be treated merely as an inner demon.
Realizing this, Ye Ling deeply reflected on himself, then looked at the three unconscious black-robed strangers beside him and flicked three masses of demonic energy to envelop them.
“Let me see what you three are, daring to hunt my disciple?”
