"Physical union, Xia Yi, you... you... you and His Holiness the Holy Spirit Douluo..."
Mu Xi's red lips formed an O shape, and her expression was filled with shock and disbelief.
That was Yali.
The holy Yali.
Xia Yi had dragged her into the mortal realm.
Just the thought that the sacred and untouchable Spirit Lord had been ravished by Xia Yi like they were no different from anyone else...
Mu Xi felt like her worldview was collapsing.
In an instant, the holy image of Yali in her mind was shattered.
"You're being too naive. Tch, the Holy Spirit , huh? You didn't see how she forced herself on Xia Yi. She was completely wild and untamed, and now she's pulling her pants up and pretending to be holy again. Hmph! She's the most shameless of them all. I wonder how long she'll keep up the act." Seeing Mu Xi like this, Leng Yulai sneered disdainfully.
Yali, in her devilish form on Devil Island, wasn't at all the pure image people believed her to be.
"Forced herself!" Mu Xi was stunned, her gaze fixed on Xia Yi. So, Xia Yi was the one who was the victim?
But could this be something Yali would do?
"Shut up. Just because you're not saying anything doesn't mean you're mute." Xia Yi shot a glare at Leng Yulai, then turned to Mu Xi and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense. It was just an accident."
"Accident, huh? Hahaha. Brother-in-law, you didn't agree to help Yuan En Yehui and Ye Xinglan, did you? Maybe you were just waiting for Yali to come to you, then you'd take advantage of the situation, right? Brother-in-law, you've changed. You're learning to take advantage of others now, hahaha! Want me to give you some tips?" Leng Yulai laughed, her waist twisting and her movements lively as she burst into laughter, completely disregarding any image of a lady.
"Go away!" Xia Yi had no idea what to say. She knew Leng Yulai was joking, but even as a joke, it was hard to handle.
"Xia Yi, Yulai is right. The Holy Spirit Douluo might come to you for help. What will you do then?" Mu Xi asked, looking at Xia Yi.
"I'll just let her come," Xia Yi shrugged indifferently.
"I'm just afraid she'll try to trick you." Mu Xi whispered. Now that Yali was penniless and still owed Leng Yulai a large sum, even if she had money, Xia Yi might not help.
If Yali wanted to persuade Xia Yi, she'd have to resort to some tricks.
"Trick you? Brother-in-law, just let her try. It's not like you'd lose anything." Before Xia Yi could respond, Leng Yulai already chimed in with a laugh.
"Why does everything that comes out of your mouth sound so suggestive?" Xia Yi glared at Leng Yulai, threatening, "If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll make you the first to get a taste."
However, Xia Yi's threat did not affect Leng Yulai. Instead, she became even more smug, nibbling on her right index finger as she pretended to be shy. "Right here? You're my brother-in-law. What will happen if my sister comes back and sees?"
"I... I can't take it anymore!"
...
"So, Xia Yi still didn't agree?" Yali asked, looking at Yuan En Yehui and Ye Xinglan, who were both downcast.
"Yes, we've made plenty of effort to convince him. We've sought him out multiple times, but he still refuses." Yuan En Yehui said helplessly.
"What did he say?" Yali furrowed her brow as she asked.
"He just made up some excuses to get rid of us," Ye Xinglan shrugged, her face bitter.
"Made up excuses?" Yali frowned even more.
"Yeah, every time we went to him, he said he wanted to go sightseeing, but after coming back, he never left the Spirit Pagoda. We even went inside to look for him, and he was always with Mu Xi, Dark Phoenix, and Gu Yue. How could he be sightseeing when he didn't even leave the Spirit Pagoda? He was just brushing us off." Ye Xinglan snorted. Even if Xia Yi didn't want to help them forge the items, at least come up with a reasonable excuse.
"Sightseeing," Yali gritted her teeth, taking a deep breath before speaking slowly. "Xinglan, based on my years of experience, Xia Yi isn't lying to you."
Yuan En Yehui and Ye Xinglan couldn't understand what "sightseeing" meant, but as an experienced person, Yali clearly understood the underlying meaning.
"That damned Xia Yi, you can only bully Yuan En Yehui and Ye Xinglan like this." Yali thought to herself coldly. If it weren't for the special relationship between her and Xia Yi, and how hard it was to control herself, she would've already driven her car right to Xia Yi's face.
"Your Holiness, why is your face so red?" Yuan En Yehui curiously looked at Yali. It was one thing for Xia Yi to refuse them, but why was Yali, who was helping Xia Yi, blushing?
"I'm fine, just continue." Yali touched her face, as if it were indeed a bit warm.
Yuan En Yehui spoke in a low voice. "Your Holiness, why don't I just use a one-word battle armor in the competition, and let Xinglan take the money to the Forging Guild to post a task for a two-word battle armor?"
"Sigh!" Yali sighed lightly. "Yuan En, if you're willing, you can give up your current one-word battle armor. I'll find a way to get some money for you, and you and Xinglan can both forge two-word battle armor. How do you feel about that?"
Although Yali was currently penniless and owed a large debt to Leng Yulai, with her status, getting the resources to forge a two-word battle armor wasn't difficult.
She had sent Yuan En Yehui to find Xia Yi because Yuan En Yehui didn't want to give up the one-word battle armor Xia Yi had forged for her.
And this one-word battle armor could only be upgraded by Xia Yi.
Yali had hoped that while Xia Yi helped Yuan En Yehui forge it, he would also help Ye Xinglan.
But unexpectedly, Xia Yi still refused to cooperate.
"Your Holiness, I still don't want to give up my one-word battle armor. Once I've earned enough money, I'll go to Xia Yi," Yuan En Yehui shook her head. Since she had asked Xia Yi to forge the one-word battle armor, she wouldn't easily give it up.
Yali took a deep breath. "In that case, prepare yourselves. In two days, when Heavenly Phoenix Douluo returns to the Spirit Pagoda, I'll go with you."
"Your Holiness, do you have a way to make Xia Yi help?" Yuan En Yehui asked curiously.
"No, but I can trick him a little," Yali smiled slightly, looking confident.
"Trick?" Ye Xinglan was stunned. She hadn't expected Yali to say such a thing and couldn't help but ask, "Your Holiness, how are you going to trick Xia Yi?"
"How? You'll find out when the time comes. I'll definitely get him to do it!" Yali grinned confidently.
"Trick... squeeze?" Suddenly, her laughter stopped.
"Your Holiness, what happened?" Yuan En Yehui asked.
"It's nothing, nothing," Yali quickly took another deep breath. She couldn't possibly tell Yuan En Yehui and Ye Xinglan what she had just recalled, something she shouldn't have.
"But, Your Holiness, your face is red again." Ye Xinglan reminded.
"It's nothing, I'm just feeling energized," Yali smiled faintly.
