"What?! Huili Yi?!"
To Lin Yi's surprise, two voices sounded at the same time from below, belonging to Thousand Waves and Qian Renxue, the grandfather and granddaughter duo.
Huili Yi looked perplexedly at the pair and instinctively stepped back half a step. She silently added another sentence in Chinese on her notebook, "Do you also recognize me?"
She was utterly bewildered.
What is Soul Land?
The clothes worn by people here looked normal to some, but others seemed to come straight out of a period drama or a video game.
"Recognize, recognize! I've read your story! Uh, to be precise, it's not exactly your story, but I feel indignant for you..."
Qian Renxue said eagerly.
Lin Yi remembered that Thousand Waves had previously won a selection of one hundred modern web novels, one of which, Dragon Race, Qian Renxue had taken to read.
And Huili Yi was a character from Dragon Clan III, a person with a tragic fate, yet angel-like.
Thousand Waves, being older, possibly didn't have much of a reaction to Huili Yi's story, but Qian Renxue had etched it deeply into her heart.
She had even pressed Lin Yi about when the sequel to Dragon Clan IV would be released.
As memories surged in his mind, Lin Yi felt somewhat relieved.
It was good that he wasn't the only one who recognized Huili Yi; now someone would step up to care for this poor girl.
"May I go over there?"
Qian Renxue asked Lin Yi as if seeking permission, clearly very eager.
Lin Yi nodded, "Yes, but I think you know what you need to be cautious about."
"I know."
After getting permission, Qian Renxue immediately approached Huili Yi. She said somewhat nervously, "Don't speak, just use this notebook to converse with me, and don't be anxious - everyone here is friendly... oh my, you're really adorable."
Huili Yi was stunned for a moment, then quickly wrote down, "Big sister is very kawaii too."
Zhu Zhuyun's eyebrows twitched upon hearing this. Blue Planet language?
Chrysanthemum Douluo found it strange and couldn't help asking, "Young Master, you just said not to let her speak, isn't she mute?"
Qian Renxue shook her head, "She's not mute, she just can't speak, because what she says are dragon words, dragon words capable of slaughter."
Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes widened.
The others who heard this stepped back in surprise, some even adopting a defensive stance.
In her nervousness, Huili Yi immediately wrote down, "I will be careful, sorry for the trouble. May I please go home? I feel very unfamiliar with this place."
Qian Renxue looked at the innocent girl in front of her with sympathy, "Why go home? You'll meet a loser who can't even save himself, how could he save you? Better to stay here with Senior Lin Yi - I will take care of your food and shelter."
Lin Yi and Thousand Waves simultaneously twitched their mouths.
A loser?
Huili Yi tilted her head in confusion.
Qian Renxue silently thought to herself, It seems she has not yet met Lu Mingfei.
Thousand Waves laughed, "Haha, my granddaughter is quite hospitable."
Qian Renxue: "Grandfather, can she stay in the Worship Hall? Is that all right?"
Thousand Waves' face stiffened immediately. He hurried over, pulled Qian Renxue back, and whispered,
"Don't you know how dangerous she is? How can she stay in Martial Soul Hall? Just let her stay with Senior Lin Yi. Senior Lin Yi surely has a way to control her instability."
Qian Renxue knew her grandfather's words made sense and could only nod silently.
Huili Yi seemed to feel that she was being shunned, standing in place at a loss, occasionally looking back at where the gate had disappeared, very uncomfortable.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi sat there, looking at the puzzled others and began to speak:
"Let me explain, her name is Huili Yi, and she comes from the Dragon Clan Plane. Her body flows with a very pure dragon bloodline, different from the dragons of Soul Land."
When he said this, his gaze was fixed on Gu Yuena.
"The Word Spirit-type rewards that appeared before, like Zi Ji's Word Spirit Monarch Flame, all came from the Dragon Clan Plane, and Huili Yi's Word Spirit Ability is called Judgment, which is several times more dangerous than Monarch Flame."
Huili Yi felt very confused; she didn't recognize any of the people here, yet three of them seemed so familiar with her.
Lin Yi stared at the girl for a moment. It definitely wouldn't work for Huili Yi to follow him, so why not find a way to reduce her danger level? Then arrange for her to stay temporarily at Martial Soul Hall?
In his mind, he asked the System, "Can you enable her to speak normally? Do you have that ability? After all, she's from a plane beyond Soul Land."
[Of course, I can. Do you want to cancel her Word Spirit Ability?]
Lin Yi was stunned: "You can actually cancel her Word Spirit Ability? That's incredible?"
[Of course, I can. Poor host, you do not know how powerful your System is... just kidding. If the host doesn't like jokes, I can reduce the joke percentage.]
"That's not necessary. Just cancel her Word Spirit Judgment ability and let her talk normally."
For Huili Yi, this ability was never a blessing but a disaster.
Since she had come to Soul Land, it wouldn't hurt to let her become a normal, happy, free girl.
[Your command is my wish, my host. You're starting to resemble the Master of Ten Thousand Realms more and more.]
"I don't like flattery from a lifeless thing like you; lower the joke percentage."
As Lin Yi said this, he suddenly paused, "Wait, Master of Ten Thousand Realms? What's that?"
The DogeCoin System fell silent.
It was probably just flattery, Lin Yi didn't think much of it, and flicked a seven-colored light from his fingertip toward Huili Yi.
The crowd watched the scene with curiosity as Lin Yi said, "You can speak now, normally, but from now on, you will lose your Word Spirit Ability."
Huili Yi looked at Lin Yi with surprise, but she didn't dare to open her mouth.
Qian Renxue immediately encouraged, "You must trust Senior Lin Yi; his words are absolutely credible."
Huili Yi smiled and wrote in her notebook:
"If that's true, I should no longer be dangerous. However, I'm used to communicating with text. Thank you, Mr. Lin Yi. Is this how your name is written in Chinese?"
Lin Yi nodded, "Yes, that's right. But I must tell you that you can't return to your original world. There, you were just a tool, but Soul Land, with me here, might just be your best destination. You can stay at Martial Soul Hall for the time being."
"Arigatou."
A clumsy voice suddenly came from Huili Yi, and even she was shocked, covering her mouth in surprise.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue felt genuinely happy for her.
At that moment, Huili Yi suddenly found her hand being held by a little guy; she looked down and saw it was the small boy who had opened the door.
Little Golden Crocodile looked up, "Sister, did you bring any food from your own plane?"
Huili Yi smiled apologetically, "Sismarseille... um, sorry, I should speak in Chinese, I apologize, I don't have any food on me."
"Her voice is so kawaii!"
Qian Renxue happily held her cheeks in her hands.
