Chapter 147 Bai Wanning's Shock at the Two Title Douluos

Dai Luoli reached out and grabbed Dai Youheng's sleeve, as if afraid her brother would leave again. She excitedly led him towards a clean and tidy-looking courtyard in the village. "Brother, over here! Our place is very close to here. Mother will be overjoyed to see you!"

Dai Youheng let him pull her along, took a step forward, and followed Dai Luoli.

Lingya and Nana followed quietly behind. Nana couldn't help but check the "gift" hidden in the soul tool again, her heart beating slightly faster.

In a simply furnished but exceptionally clean room, Bai Wanning was sitting by the window, mending a garment in the sunlight streaming in.

Her stitches were fine and neat, a habit she had cultivated over the years of careful observation and meticulousness in the Duke's mansion. Suddenly, Dai Luoli's excited shouts rang out from outside the courtyard, "Mother! Look, brother is back!"

The sound, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly shattered the tranquility of the room. Bai Wanning's fingers trembled, and the needle tip nearly pricked her fingertip.

She suddenly looked up, her face filled with surprise. Without hesitation, she put aside the half-finished garment she was sewing, and without even tidying her slightly disheveled hair, she hurriedly got up and ran towards the door.

As soon as she stepped out the door, she saw the figure that had been on her mind day and night standing in the courtyard. Bai Wanning's eyes welled up with tears, and she could no longer suppress her surging emotions. She quickly stepped forward and hugged her son, who was now much taller than her, tightly. Her voice was choked with sobs and lingering fear, "Youheng! You're back. I'm so glad you're alright! These past few days, my heart has been in constant turmoil."

Dai Youheng felt the warmth of the embrace and the slight trembling. Her body stiffened slightly, then relaxed. She raised her hand and gently patted her mother's back, her tone unusually gentle and reassuring, "Mother, don't worry. I'm fine, everything is alright."

He stepped back slightly and carefully examined her complexion. Although she was dressed simply, there seemed to be less of a melancholy look in her eyes than when she was at the Duke's mansion. He felt a little relieved and then said with a hint of apology, "It's just that I'm sorry to trouble Mother, having to live in this rural area without even a maid to serve her. What I'm doing now has far-reaching implications, and only here can we ensure your safety."

Bai Wanning quickly shook her head, wiped her eyes, and gave a genuine smile. "Not at all! It's very nice and quiet here. I feel at ease staying here. I don't need any maids. I can take care of everything myself. As long as you are safe and sound, and Luo Li is well, I am more satisfied than anything else."

She was speaking from the heart. In the Duke's mansion, although there were maids, she mostly served the First Lady with trepidation, living a life of constant worry and having to read people's faces, far less comfortable and at ease than she was now.

Her own light passed over Dai Youheng and she saw that behind him, besides the unfathomable Ice Sky Douluo Ling Ya, there was also an unfamiliar girl.

Bai Wanning dared not be negligent and quickly stepped forward, bowing respectfully to Ling Ya, "Greetings, Your Majesty Bingkong."

She always remembered that this was a powerful figure at the Title Douluo level, a great help to her son, and that she must not be lacking in proper etiquette.

Ling Ya stepped aside, his expression humble, "Madam, you mustn't do that, you're making me too proud."

Bai Wanning then looked at Nana, her eyes filled with a gentle inquiry, "And who is this young lady?"

Nana seemed a little nervous and immediately stepped forward, respectfully replying in the manner of Ling Ya, "Madam, I am the young master's newly recruited subordinate, my name is Nana."

As she spoke, she hurriedly took out two items from her storage soul tool and presented them with both hands, saying, "It's a small token of my appreciation for our first meeting. Please don't find it offensive."

Those were two soul-guided artifacts. One was a blue hand mirror engraved with exquisite patterns, and the other was a thick-backed broadsword with a gleaming cold light and nine copper rings inlaid on its back.

As a Soul Master with real control, Nana always carries a number of Soul Tools with different functions.

She explained, "This is the Azure Light Mirror, a level three soul tool. It can be used for grooming during the day. When infused with soul power, it emits an azure light for illumination at night. If the light is pushed to its limit, it can burst into a strong light instantly, which can temporarily confuse the enemy's vision. This is the Nine-Ring Blade, a level four melee soul tool. When swung, the copper rings make a clanging sound that can disturb the enemy's mind and can also slightly enhance the wielder's strength."

Seeing Nana's sincere expression, even with a hint of fear, Bai Wanning knew that refusing would be impolite, so she smiled and accepted it, saying, "Thank you, Miss Nana."

She could tell that the girl seemed to have an almost reverential loyalty to her son, and that refusing the gift would make her uneasy.

Dai Luoli didn't have that many thoughts; his gaze had long been firmly attracted by the imposing nine-ringed sword!

He had always admired his brother's Tyrant Tiger Soul-Refining Blade, and now that he himself possessed a blade that looked just as powerful, he beamed with joy and repeatedly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Sister Nana, this blade is so cool!"

Seeing that the gift was accepted and liked, Nana secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense shoulders relaxed.

Dai Youheng did not intend to leave immediately. He decided to stay with his mother for three days. Seeing that Dai Luoli was interested in the knife, he took the opportunity to teach his younger brother some basic knife techniques and stances, letting him practice first.

At the same time, he also pointed out that although Lingya and Nana's soul power level has increased dramatically, their combat experience and control over their new power are still insufficient.

In the past, Ling Ya found it difficult to conduct effective combat training alone. Now, the two newly promoted Title Douluo can spar with each other, becoming familiar with and mastering their suddenly surging and immense soul power through constant clashes.

Thus, in the secluded open space outside the village, one could often see two Title Douluos clashing. Their soul power surged, their auras were overwhelming, and they startled nearby birds into flight.

Bai Wanning occasionally caught a glimpse of it from afar, and was especially stunned when she saw the dazzling, breathtaking bright red soul ring on Nana's body.

She already knew that Ling Ya was a Title Douluo, but she never expected that this seemingly young girl was also a Title Douluo standing at the top of the continent, and even possessed the legendary 100,000-year soul ring!

What she found even more unbelievable was that these two powerful figures were so respectful and loyal to their son, obeying his every word. Their attitude was not one of equal cooperation, but rather one of clear master-servant distinction.

Her heart was filled with indescribable shock and curiosity. What kind of extraordinary encounter had happened to her son during this period? How could he have been transformed to this extent, not only making a leap in his own strength, but also making two titled Douluo willingly submit to him?

However, rather than investigating the reasons, an overwhelming sense of pride filled her heart even faster. Watching her son calmly giving instructions, and seeing the two powerful figures listening respectfully, Bai Wanning unconsciously straightened her back a little.

How could such a son possibly become a lovesick sycophant who becomes a laughingstock?

Princess Jiujiu? Ha, even if she is a noble princess, it seems that she may not be worthy of such an outstanding son as mine!

Meanwhile, Ling Ya was not idle either. He carefully studied the large amount of information on level six and seven soul tools that Nana had brought back from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

This is precisely the advanced knowledge he urgently needs now that he has reached the fifth level of Soul Master, opening the door to a wider world for him.

The notes on level 8 and even level 9 soul tools that Dai Youheng had previously obtained from the relics of that level 9 soul master were originally difficult to understand, but now, after comparing and comprehending them with these systematic materials, they have gradually become clearer.

Ling Ya immersed himself in the learning, absorbing knowledge with great eagerness. He was confident that by following this gradual path, he would eventually be able to unravel those more profound mysteries.
