The massive sword shadow formed by the mist, as if tangible, lunged toward Chen Feng's head. "I must block it…" Chen Feng cried out anxiously in his heart; if he couldn't stop it, certain death was the only outcome! But without power, how could a mere soul body possibly fend off such a fierce attack?

Clang!

Following a crisp sound, a violent roar erupted from the Second Emissary.

Chen Feng looked up and saw that a giant round shield had somehow materialized above his head. The shield emitted a dazzling white light, perfectly intercepting the Second Emissary's assault.

"Where did this round shield come from? Dao…" Chen Feng seemed to realize something, his eyes suddenly blazing with light.

He thrust his hand forward, and immediately, a dazzling longsword materialized in his hand!

"Hahaha…" Looking at the sword in his hand, he suddenly laughed, a wave of excitement surging through him.

The Bow—it had already recognized him as its master. Since he could command what was inside the bow's body, it was easy for him to manifest a longsword; perhaps he could even conjure a tank or an aircraft! Because here, he was the Creator, the Master!

In an instant, a stream of information flashed through his mind. He finally understood the origin of the Bow; it wasn't called the Bow, but rather the Soul-Confinement Bow!

Soul-Confinement Bow: A supreme divine artifact refined by the high-tier Soul Law master, "Wuji," utilizing his vital soul. It can confine the souls of men and earth and can transform the souls of enemies into soul arrows to be shot. It possesses the ability to inflict soul attacks! Furthermore, if one can control a high-level soul, one can completely challenge those of higher cultivation levels!

"You... you can actually control it too, ah…" Terror flashed across the Second Emissary's face as he turned, attempting to flee.

"Where do you think you're going?" A clear voice rang out. Simultaneously, a flash of light bound the Second Emissary tightly, leaving him struggling fruitlessly.

Beside them, the Fourth Deputy Lord knelt down once more. But this time, he wasn't kneeling to the Second Emissary, but directly ahead, as if awaiting someone's arrival.

Chen Feng quelled the excitement in his heart and followed the direction of the sound. He saw a figure slowly flying toward them.

The newcomer was clad in clothes as pure and white as snow, untouched by dust, flying over the mist like a transcendent fairy treading on ripples.

"Xiao Rou…" Chen Feng called out, momentarily stunned.

"Brother Chen Feng!" The newcomer flew over, her face alight with excitement.

The person who arrived was indeed Xiao Rou's soul. Since the Second Emissary was here, Xiao Rou’s soul must have also been confined by the Soul-Confinement Bow!

Chen Feng directly embraced the rushing Xiao Rou. Although she was only a soul, Chen Feng seemed to catch the delicate fragrance of the young girl, feeling the soft mounds of her chest pressed tightly against his own…

Xiao Rou was a girl he felt immense guilt towards; if not for him, she wouldn't have died. So, seeing her again, even as just a spirit, stirred immense tenderness in his heart.

"Brother Chen Feng, Xiao Rou missed you so much!" Xiao Rou buried her head in Chen Feng’s embrace, murmuring softly.

Chen Feng stroked her beautiful hair, finding it as smooth and soft as if it were real. For a moment, he became disoriented, unable to distinguish whether he, too, was merely a soul.

"Didn't you never cultivate before? How could you bind the Second Emissary?" Chen Feng suddenly recalled the earlier events and inquired. Soul power grows stronger with cultivation; how could the soul power of the Second Emissary, at the peak of the Saint Domain, be subdued so easily by a little girl?

"Hee hee, didn't you feel that power just now?" Xiao Rou looked up at Chen Feng, smiling as she spoke.

"That power?" Chen Feng asked. "Could it be... you've also mastered the Soul-Confinement Bow?"

Xiao Rou nodded and explained. Only then did Chen Feng understand: when Xiao Rou was caught in the backlash and injured, her blood had dripped onto the Soul-Confinement Bow. Before her death, she had become its master, and thus, her soul entered this Soul-Confinement Domain, becoming its sovereign.

In a way, she had taken control of the entire Soul-Confinement Bow. Later, capturing the Second Emissary's soul to nourish Chen Feng and bring him back to his senses... all of this was orchestrated by Xiao Rou. Even after his own blood dripped onto it, she willingly shared the control of the Soul-Confinement Bow with Chen Feng!

After hearing Xiao Rou’s explanation, Chen Feng was moved to tears. This kind girl had given her life for him, and now she was silently helping him. If he hadn't impulsively decided to check things out today, he might have remained ignorant forever, never knowing all she had done for him? Thinking of this, he held Xiao Rou even tighter.

After embracing for a while, Xiao Rou suddenly said, "Brother Chen Feng, come with me!" Then she took his hand and flew forward.

"Those two..." Chen Feng pointed at the Second Emissary and the Fourth Deputy Lord.

"Let them be, they can't run away even if we leave them here!" Xiao Rou said with a smile.

"I know, but weren't you killed by the Second Emissary? Don't you hate him?" Chen Feng couldn't help but ask.

"Hate him? Of course, I hate him. But later I realized, if he hadn't chased Brother Chen Feng, how would you have ended up here? How would I see you again? And how could I stay by your side to help you all the time!" Xiao Rou smiled. "Besides, once you're out, I can have fun torturing them. Otherwise, I get so lonely all by myself!"

Hearing Xiao Rou say this, the Second Emissary and the Deputy Lord on the ground shivered simultaneously, clearly terrified of Xiao Rou's 'magic hands.'

Chen Feng was touched by Xiao Rou's sincerity, smiled, and said no more. At the same time, he felt relieved. In this Soul-Confinement Domain, since Xiao Rou was the master, let alone these two, even high gods couldn't do anything to her, as she was the Creator here!

The two flew through the air. Before long, they arrived at a place that immediately captivated Chen Feng with its surroundings: elegant pavilions, small bridges over winding streams, exotic flowers, and rare grasses… This was truly a paradise on earth!

"This is where I live!" Xiao Rou landed in a waterside pavilion and circled around. Suddenly, a dress of rosy pink materialized on her body. As she turned, the skirt billowed, making her look ethereal.

Chen Feng stared blankly for a moment.

"Did you build all this?" After a while, Chen Feng couldn't help but ask.

"No, it was here when I arrived. It was built by the high-tier Soul Law master, 'Sheng Wuji'! This is her mansion! But now that we own the Soul-Confinement Bow, this place naturally belongs to both of us!" Xiao Rou said with a smile.

"You know who Wuji is?" Chen Feng, hearing the name for the second time, couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know. I only learned about it after becoming the master of the Soul-Confinement Bow, but I don't know exactly who she is!" Xiao Rou explained.

Chen Feng nodded. He asked no more, walking along the long corridor of the small pavilion, watching the various fish swim beneath them and inhaling the faint fragrance of the lotus flowers. It felt like being in a dream. However, this was ultimately an illusory realm, accessible only to souls. No matter how beautiful, it wasn't a place to stay forever. Was it good for Xiao Rou to remain here all the time?

Xiao Rou seemed to perceive his thoughts. She took his hand and said, "It's great here, except I can't see Daddy and Grandpa! Xiao Rou really likes it here!"

Chen Feng clasped her hand in his palm. Even though she was only a soul, he felt her hand was as soft as cotton, exceptionally smooth. "I will definitely reconstruct your body and bring you back to life!"

"Mm!" Xiao Rou’s ruby-red lips tightened, and she nodded, a blush rising on her face.

Seeing her shy expression, Chen Feng's heart stirred, and he couldn't resist pulling her close, lowering his head to kiss her red lips.

Xiao Rou trembled with excitement, closed her eyes, and slowly leaned in. Both were soul bodies, yet the moment their lips met, the sensation was intensely real, even stronger than with physical bodies. Savoring the fragrant little tongue in her mouth, Chen Feng became momentarily entranced…

This was understandable; humans perceive external things primarily through soul power. When soul power sheds the disguise of flesh, the sensation naturally becomes more intense!

After a long moment, their lips parted. Chen Feng stroked her impossibly smooth cheek, feeling a surge of satisfaction. At this moment, he forgot everything; his eyes held only Xiao Rou. Whether this was love, he didn't know, but now he knew that he and this girl named Xiao Rou could never be separated again.

…………

"Brother Chen Feng, come here!" Xiao Rou tugged his hand and continued to run forward. The two crossed several floating bridges and arrived inside a pavilion suspended in mid-air. In the very center of the pavilion was a smooth stone platform, and directly in front of it stood a giant mirror.

"What is this?" Chen Feng pointed at the stone platform and asked in confusion.

"Put your hand here!" Xiao Rou directly took his hand and pressed it onto the platform.

Chen Feng didn't know why, but he slowly placed his hand there. As soon as it touched down, the platform emitted a white light, and countless streams of information flashed before his eyes.

"I can actually freely control all the souls within the Soul-Confinement Domain? And I can even refine them to strengthen my own soul cultivation?" Chen Feng exclaimed in joyful surprise.

Xiao Rou stood by the side, stuck out her tongue, tilted her head, adopting an expression of "Of course."

No wonder the Soul-Confinement Bow could purify his chaotic soul power; this place was essentially a massive purification plant. As long as he willed it, he could refine and integrate the souls confined here into his own soul, increasing his soul power! With increased soul power, wouldn't his overall strength also increase? Chen Feng felt an immense wave of ecstasy!

"And this!" Xiao Rou pointed to the large mirror directly ahead.

"What is this?" Chen Feng asked.

"Heh heh, from here, we can see the situation outside the Bow's body. I saw Brother Chen Feng getting injured right here!" Xiao Rou said, smiling. She waved her hand, and a mist appeared. The mirror in front of them began to play out the scene outside the Soul-Confinement Bow like a movie.

The scene was of the interior of the mountain cave. He himself was sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding the Soul-Confinement Bow, eyes tightly shut. The view shifted, focusing on the area directly ahead of him. Seeing this, both Chen Feng and Xiao Rou flushed a deep crimson! Yu Jiao, the woman, was standing completely naked on the other side of the cave, directly in front of Chen Feng!
