Chapter 56: Yuan En Ye Hui

"Yuan En Ye Hui."

"She is a first-year student in the outer academy of Shrek Academy. Her talent is quite good, with dual top-level martial souls: Titan Giant Ape and Fallen Angel."

"She comes from the Yuan En family, a family that has the Titan Giant Ape martial soul passed down for generations, and the Fallen Angel martial soul is inherited from her mother, Ye Hui."

"Her mother died due to the Fallen Angel martial soul being an evil martial soul, and her father was sealed by Yuan En Ye Hui's grandfather within the family."

"Well... she is very suitable to fall into the path of an evil soul master, so you are the best candidates to control her."

"Yuan En Ye Hui entered the academy as a work-study student and works part-time at this 'Happiness Dessert House' every day."

"I need her to be completely under my control, and without anyone suspecting, I want her cultivation to be raised and then restrained at the eighth-ring level, but ready to be raised to the ninth ring at any time."

With that, the explanation was complete, and the underlying reasons were left unsaid.

Neither Natalia nor the Dark Blood Demon asked further questions.

In their view, Di Tian's request was not difficult to fulfill. If they didn't have this kind of ability, how could the Holy Spirit Church talk about bombing Shrek Academy or reaching the pinnacle of the divine path?

As for why Shrek Academy would have evil soul masters?

This question did not surprise the higher-ups of the Holy Spirit Church at all. Shrek Academy had produced many evil soul masters, and their quality was extremely high.

Not long later, outside the Happiness Dessert House.

A beautiful woman, with a slender figure, pale skin—almost a little white—entered from the staff passage.

Her red hair and black eyes gave her a somewhat sorrowful appearance.

She had just changed into a maid-style uniform when a female colleague came over with a drink.

A trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes. "Ye Hui, I really envy you!"

"You're always the best seller here. The men who come to the dessert house stare at you without blinking."

"You've made so much, aren't you going to take your sister out for a meal sometime?"

However, despite having worked together for a long time, Yuan En Ye Hui had no particular fondness for her colleagues.

Competitors in the same industry were often foes, and sometimes colleagues were no different. Working at the same dessert shop meant there were only so many customers; the more she ate, the less others would have.

Not to mention, her share was far more than just a little. Even if they got along well on the surface, deep down, it would still feel uncomfortable.

Since childhood, Yuan En Ye Hui had been living alone, with no parents to care for her. She understood these unspoken truths well.

So, when her colleague spoke, she responded with polite distance: "Is this drink you're holding one that the customer specifically asked for me to deliver?"

"Yes."

Her colleague nodded, then continued with a hint of jealousy, "Still a young, handsome guy. Looks like..."

But as she recalled the appearance, she couldn't quite remember. It seemed as though someone had deliberately erased the related memory.

"Tch, I remember he was quite handsome, but why can't I remember now? Blonde hair? No, wait! Hmm?!"

Yuan En Ye Hui naturally didn't care about this. She simply took the drink and headed toward the customer service area, ignoring her colleague entirely.

After Yuan En Ye Hui had walked quite a distance, her colleague stared at her back with malicious intent, muttering, "Who knows, maybe one day a rich young man will come, kidnap you, and then..."

In the front hall of the Happiness Dessert House, there were three empty drink cups on the table in front of Emperor Tian, with only the one in Natalia's hand left, nearly empty, almost like a decoration.

Her brightly colored nails rhythmically tapped against the side of the cup until they stopped at a certain moment.

"She's here."

At the same time, Yuan En Ye Hui's voice sounded.

"Customer, here is your drink."

Yuan En Ye Hui saw not just the handsome man her colleague mentioned but also a young girl and a gaunt man covered in layers of clothing, and two cups had already been emptied on the table.

She promptly cleared away the empty cups and, out of professional habit, asked, "Would you like anything else? Or any other services? Here is the service card."

Natalia did not take the service card. Instead, she said, "This drink is on me. Why don't you sit and drink with us?"

"I'm sorry, this isn't within my job scope," Yuan En Ye Hui routinely refused.

But soon, she began to doubt. In the past, it was always the men who asked her this, but now it was the girl who invited her.

With suspicion, Yuan En Ye Hui instinctively glanced at Natalia.

And with that single glance, she was completely controlled. The color drained from her eyes, leaving them hollow and void of any spirit.

Natalia's soft lips parted slightly, "Sit."

Her voice seemed to have a magical power, like strings controlling a puppet, making Yuan En Ye Hui sit down.

"Drink."

Once seated, Yuan En Ye Hui immediately used the prepared straw and began drinking.

"Speak."

Then, Yuan En Ye Hui slowly began to mechanically recount her life story.

As she spoke, Natalia explained in detail to Emperor Tian.

"Let her finish recounting her past. Then, according to the Beast God's request, I will add the necessary guidance."

"Thousands of overlapping dreams, imagined by her herself, rather than simply implanting foreign thoughts."

"By imagining them herself, she will generate internal emotions, creating an emotional barrier that she will not willingly break. Unless someone wants her to experience the painful tearing of the soul, no one will discover it."

"This method is the best solution available."

"The reason we can use it is that her spiritual power is only at the Spirit Sea level. Once she reaches the Spirit Abyss level, the chances of success will drop drastically."

After speaking, she looked at Emperor Tian, feeling somewhat nervous.

A glint flashed in Emperor Tian's eyes, and his pure spiritual energy enveloped the space.

Even without breaking through to the Divine Origin Realm, his immense and profound spiritual power was enough to prevent someone like Yun Ming from detecting it, just like his spiritual awareness would automatically be ignored when probing.

Of course, Emperor Tian was being cautious. Yun Ming wouldn't repeatedly use his spiritual awareness to probe Shrek City.

It was a fine, sunny day, and it seemed that Yun Ming was probably enjoying himself with his wife on a swing.

"Alright."

Upon receiving Emperor Tian's approval, Natalia felt a weight lift from her chest.

A small purple bell appeared in her hand. It was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and between the bell and its golden-purple handle, a smooth golden bead connected them.

"Ding ding ding..."

When the bell's magic sound rang, Yuan En Ye Hui had finished recounting her past.

There was nothing surprising in her story for Natalia.

At this moment, Yuan En Ye Hui was unaware that her Fallen Angel martial soul was the key to summoning demons from the evil planes.

She also didn't know the truth behind her mother's death, so naturally, she didn't mention it.
