Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 20 Soul Entanglement, Zhu Zhuyun
"Yeah, what is this?"

When Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes, she immediately saw the strange chain.

Ning Qiuyang said, "You can treat it as your second martial soul, but this martial soul cannot be attached with soul rings; instead, it comes with three skills."

"Second martial spirit?"

Zhu Zhuqing had received a good Soul Master education, so she naturally knew how rare twin Martial Souls were.

Unexpectedly, Ning Qiuyang only touched his forehead and he was able to obtain a second martial soul.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were full of starlight as she looked at Ning Qiuyang, and her adoring expression made Ning Qiuyang feel her burning passion.

"Alright, your second martial soul is called Soul Hook, which can directly damage the soul."

Zhu Zhuqing then withdrew her burning gaze.

She reached out and beckoned, and the Soul-Hooking Rope came to her hand on its own.

"Huh? How amazing! I don't even need to wave it myself, the Soul-Hooking Rope moves according to my will."

The Soul-Hooking Rope moved with unpredictable grace in Zhu Zhuqing's hands, sometimes thrusting forward, sometimes sweeping horizontally, and occasionally undulating like a long snake.

Ning Qiuyang looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a smile, familiar with the Soul-Hooking Rope.

"You have just awakened your martial soul and haven't attached any soul rings to the Netherworld Cat yet, but you can already use the first soul skill of the Soul Hook Rope."

Zhu Zhuqing closed her eyes and sensed it, and sure enough, she discovered the soul skill that the Soul-Hooking Rope possessed.

"Soul entangled, go."

The Soul-Hooking Rope plunged into nothingness, yet remained in Zhu Zhuqing's hand.

Suddenly, the end of the soul-snatching rope appeared ten meters away. A rabbit, who knows whose rabbit it was, was hopping around when it was startled by the sudden appearance of the chain.

Just as it was about to jump to the side, the Soul-Hooking Rope wrapped around it.

If you look closely, you'll find that the chains aren't wrapped around the rabbit's body, but rather they're binding a phantom that appears and disappears intermittently.

The Soul Entanglement skill does not affect the body, but rather acts directly on the soul.

The rabbit's soul was bound, and it was immediately unable to move. Its body, which had just leaped up, crashed to the ground.

"Amazing."

Zhu Zhuqing stared in shock at the Soul-Hooking Rope in her hand.

The Soul Hook's first soul skill is unpredictable, appearing and disappearing as if it has traversed space and arrived directly in front of the enemy.

Moreover, the attack targets the soul, making it even more difficult to defend against.

Zhu Zhuqing wanted to use two more soul skills, but found that she couldn't use them no matter what she did.

Then Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ning Qiuyang with a pitiful expression.

Ning Qiuyang smiled helplessly and gently tapped Zhu Zhuqing's forehead.

"You don't even have a spirit ring yet, so it's already quite good that you can use one spirit skill. When your spirit power reaches level 20, you'll be able to use a second spirit skill."

"As for the third soul skill, you can only use it when your soul power reaches level 40."

"Oh."

Zhu Zhuqing rubbed her forehead.

Although Ning Qiuyang tapped her, he didn't hit her hard, which made Zhu Zhuqing feel quite pleased.

"Brother Qiuyang, where are we going next?"

"Next? We first need to perform a ritual to release the wronged souls in the imperial city of Xingluo City, and then find the White Impermanence who corresponds to you."

"White Impermanence?" Zhu Zhuqing said thoughtfully, "Then I'll be Black Impermanence."

"Brother Qiuyang, can my sister become a Wuchang (a spirit in the underworld)?"

After thinking about it for a moment, Ning Qiuyang felt that it wouldn't be bad if Zhu Zhuyun could become the White Impermanence.

The Divine Examination provided several types of martial souls that could become Black and White Impermanence, but it did not say that the martial souls of Black and White Impermanence could not be the same.

Moreover, Black and White Impermanence are sisters, which makes perfect sense.

However, this is contingent on Zhu Zhuyun agreeing to become Bai Wuchang (White Impermanence).

"Your sister is very likely to become the Empress of the Star Luo Empire. Are you sure she's willing to give up wealth and status?"

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, but quickly made up her mind. "My sister loves me the most. If I leave, the family will choose another woman from the Zhu family to compete with my sister. My sister is very kind-hearted, and she certainly doesn't want this to happen. If I can persuade her, she will agree."

Ning Qiuyang thought it was worth a try.

"Okay, then I'll take you to see your sister."

Ning Qiuyang used the underworld passage again, and the two quickly returned to the Zhu family mansion.

"Brother Qiuyang".

Back at the Zhu family home, Zhu Zhuqing became somewhat reserved, shyly fidgeting with the hem of her clothes and whispering:
"Could you please let me go see my sister alone?"

If her older sister found out that she had eloped with a boy late at night and even brought him to her sister's room, Zhu Zhuqing felt that she might not even have a chance to explain before her sister grabbed her ear.

"Okay, I'll wait for you in your room."

"Brother Qiuyang, you are the best."

Zhu Zhuqing poured Ning Qiuyang a cup of tea before heading off to find Zhu Zhuyun with a cheerful gait.

After Zhu Zhuqing left, Ning Qiuyang immediately used the underworld passage to escape into the void.

He couldn't guarantee whether Zhu Zhuyun would agree, nor did he know if Zhu Zhuyun would alert others.

They had to prepare for the worst. If other members of the Zhu family came later, Ning Qiuyang could simply take Zhu Zhuqing away.

About ten minutes later, Ning Qiuyang heard two footsteps outside the door.

"Sister, you can trust me, I'm sure I'm right, I would never lie to you," Zhu Zhuqing said as she walked.

"Okay, sister believes in you."

Zhu Zhuyun said this, but Ning Qiuyang could tell that she was just being perfunctory.

"Brother Qiuyang, I've brought my sister back."

Zhu Zhuyun looked at her joyful sister, a flash of anger crossing her eyes.

She did not believe Zhu Zhuqing's words.

When Zhu Zhuqing heard that she was leaving the Zhu family with a strange boy and that she was going to take her with her, Zhu Zhuyun did not immediately refute Zhu Zhuqing, but instead followed her.

She wanted to see which audacious brat dared to deceive her sister.

They were even bold enough to try and deceive her as well.

Upon entering Zhu Zhuqing's room, Zhu Zhuyun immediately spotted Ning Qiuyang.

"Is this the brat?"

Although Zhu Zhuyun had heard Zhu Zhuqing say that the person who was going to take her away was not very old, she did not expect that Ning Qiuyang was not much older than her sister.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuyun suddenly wondered if this was a prank by the two children.

"Sister, this is Brother Qiuyang, he's amazing." Zhu Zhuqing first introduced Ning Qiuyang to Zhu Zhuyun, and then said to Ning Qiuyang:

"Brother Qiuyang, my sister has agreed to come with us."

Zhu Zhuyun snorted.

"So you're trying to trick my sister away? Tell me, what's your purpose?"

Ning Qiuyang looked at Zhu Zhuqing and asked, "Is this what you meant by agreeing?"

Zhu Zhuqing said somewhat angrily, "Sister, that's not what you said just now."

Zhu Zhuyun's expression was indifferent.

"Kid, I don't care what your purpose is, but if you dare to mess around with my sister, you're in big trouble."

Ning Qiuyang remained calm and unhurried, and instead spoke first to Zhu Zhuqing:
"Didn't you show your sister your current martial spirit?"

Zhu Zhuqing stuck out her tongue.

"Before I even had a chance to show it, my sister said she believed it. I had no idea she was lying to me."

"Martial Soul? What happened to your Martial Soul?"

Zhu Zhuyun was a little nervous. A problem with one's martial soul was a serious matter, so she quickly asked with concern.
