Not only had her martial soul evolved into the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, but even Ning Tianyu's soul power had increased by one level, making her a level 36 auxiliary-type Battle Soul Ancestor.

Dai Weisi waved his hand and smiled. "No need to thank me. This gift is from Sect Master Ning. If you want to thank someone, thank him."

Then, turning to Li Hu, he instructed, "Now that Tianyu's martial soul has evolved, Uncle Li, please escort her to complete the enrollment procedures."

"Yes, sir!"

"Brother Dai, I…"

Ning Tianyu softly called out. She wanted Dai Weisi to accompany her for the enrollment. After all, her mission was to use her beauty to seduce him—how could she succeed if she didn't find chances to get close?

But just as she was about to ask him to come with her, a cheerful voice rang out from outside the door.

"Dai Weisi, we're back! Let's have hotpot for lunch today. I've brought back a bunch of fresh soul beast meat!"

Turning her head, Ning Tianyu saw that it was Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing. The two sisters had just returned from shopping and were clearly in high spirits, having bought many things.

Since she had been chosen by Ning Fengzhi to carry out this mission, Ning Tianyu was naturally intelligent and perceptive.

That girl called Dai Weisi by name directly—she must be his fiancée… I'll let it go for today. I'll find another opportunity to be alone with Brother Dai later.

With her mind made up, Ning Tianyu smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Dai. I'll take my leave now!"

"Mm! Be sure to cultivate diligently at the academy—don't disappoint your uncle."

"Don't worry, Brother Dai, I'll work hard!" Ning Tianyu gave a gentle bow and then left the Prince's Mansion with Li Hu to report to the Star Luo Royal Academy.

As she left, she deliberately cast a glance—seemingly casual, yet intentional—at Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing let out a curious noise and asked, "Brother Dai Weisi, who was that sister just now? She looks a lot like Rongrong!"

"Oh, she's Rongrong's cousin. She's enrolling at the Star Luo Royal Academy."

"Something's not right—this is fishy!" Zhu Zhuyun narrowed her eyes, her tone filled with jealousy. "Something's off ten thousand miles over! She's from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan—why would she attend school in the Star Luo Empire instead of the Heaven Dou Empire? There's definitely something fishy going on."

"Maybe Ning Fengzhi is trying to show goodwill. He even gave me a soul bone…" Dai Weisi explained his theory to the two girls, then took out the dark-condensed left arm bone and handed it to Zhu Zhuyun with a smile.

"Zhuyun, this forty-thousand-year-old left arm soul bone is for you."

"Huh? Dai Weisi, are you sure? I already have two soul bones. Why not give this one to Zhuqing instead?"

"Just take it. Compared to Zhuqing, you're a better fit for this soul bone. Besides, haven't you been stuck at the peak of level 56 for a long time? Absorbing this soul bone might help you break through that bottleneck and reach level 57."

Dai Weisi gave this soul bone to Zhu Zhuyun mainly out of guilt.

First it was Zhu Zhuqing, then Tang Yuehua—he had already given Zhu Zhuyun two "bed sisters," yet she still followed him with unwavering loyalty.

Even though she didn't mind him having three wives, Dai Weisi still felt he owed her. Anyone willing to take Lovesick Heartbreak Red was clearly sincere in their love for him.

So Dai Weisi wanted to treat Zhu Zhuyun better by giving her the soul bone—as a way to make up for everything.

"Well…" Zhu Zhuyun hesitated. Of course she wanted the soul bone. Who wouldn't? Especially a ten-thousand-year soul bone. But she already had two, while her sister only had one.

Seeing her hesitation, Dai Weisi chuckled. "Relax, I won't favor one over the other. I promise to give Zhuqing a better, higher-quality soul bone in the future."

"Hehe, I believe in you, big hubby!" Zhu Zhuqing laughed and patted Zhu Zhuyun's fragrant shoulder. "Sis, just absorb this soul bone already. Don't waste our husband's kind intentions!"

Upon hearing the word "husband," Zhu Zhuyun's face flushed red. She nodded sweetly and said, "Then I won't hold back."

Zhu Zhuyun immediately sat cross-legged, channeled her soul power into the bone, and relaxed her body and mind, gradually absorbing it.

Having absorbed two soul bones before, she was quite familiar with the process by now. After three hours, she fully integrated the soul bone into her left arm.

At the same time, her soul power surged and reached level 58.

Feeling the increase, Zhu Zhuyun opened her beautiful eyes and smiled excitedly. "Dai Weisi, I broke through! My soul power has reached level 58!"

"Hehe, congrats, my dear wife." Dai Weisi grinned and playfully rubbed her cheek. "Come on, show us your new soul bone ability."

"Sure! It's called Dark Barrier. Watch carefully." As soon as she finished speaking, a purple light flashed on her left arm, and she released her soul power.

To everyone's shock, her soul power instantly transformed into dense black fog, completely enveloping the Prince's Mansion.

"Ah! It hurts!"

Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing let out a cry of pain, instinctively releasing her martial soul and snuggling into Dai Weisi's arms, which helped ease the discomfort.

Even Dai Weisi, who possessed a body of indestructible Vajra, felt a burning pain on his skin from the black mist. He quickly performed martial soul possession and activated his White Tiger Barrier to shield both himself and Zhu Zhuqing, which finally made the pain bearable.

"Dark Barrier… Is it an ability that shrouds the surroundings in this black fog?" Dai Weisi analyzed, activating his Ice-Fire Demon Eyes in an attempt to spot Zhu Zhuyun—but even he could only barely make out her blurry silhouette through the haze.

If even he couldn't see her clearly, it meant that for most others, this black fog rendered vision completely useless.

At that moment, Zhu Zhuyun's voice echoed beside his ear, followed by a soft laugh.

"In this Dark Barrier, only I can see clearly. Unless someone uses spiritual power, they won't be able to detect me at all.

Moreover, the black mist doesn't just obscure vision—it's highly corrosive. It can erode both soul power and flesh. Dai Weisi, you felt it too, didn't you?"

"I definitely did…"

Dai Weisi nodded slightly. He could feel his soul power rapidly draining. If it were fully depleted, the mist would likely begin devouring his flesh, eventually reducing him to nothing but bones—if even that.

"What's more incredible is that this skill can grow stronger. The higher my soul power, the faster the black mist corrodes soul power. If I become a Titled Douluo, any Soul King who steps into my Dark Barrier will die instantly!"

As she spoke, Zhu Zhuyun gradually dispersed the black fog, revealing Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuqing. Zhu Zhuqing was still breathing heavily, visibly shaken. In just that short time, nearly one-fifth of her soul power had been drained.
