The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 751 - 748: Shamelessly Protecting Their Own

Now, it was Governor Huang and Prince Chen who were dumbfounded.

"You lowly maid, you’ve plotted against me time and again!"

Chen You was full of rage.

He and Xin Lin had quite a history.

Last time, on Qin Mountain, it was this lowly maid who pretended to be a lost fool, playing the pig to eat the tiger—she not only stole the Overlord Egg but also caused him to be attacked by the Xuan Bird.

The attack from the Xuan Bird led to deaths and injuries among the personnel of the Prince Manor.

It was only thanks to Prince Chen’s good fortune that he managed to cling to life.

He had to recuperate at home for some time after the incident.

Little did he know that when he returned to Qingtian Academy, he would accidentally discover Xin Lin was also at Qingtian Academy, along with that very familiar-looking egg.

That egg was none other than the Xuan Bird Egg he had seen earlier in the Mystic Bird Nest.

Prince Chen never expected that the Xuan Bird Egg he coveted in his dreams would accept Xin Lin as its master.

Upon learning this, Prince Chen was furious, and he itched to kill Xin Lin immediately.

But he also knew that within Qingtian Academy, it was forbidden to directly engage in combat with fellow students.

Yet without revenge, he could not quell the hatred in his heart.

Chen You, consumed by hatred, accidentally developed a Martial Soul in a stroke of luck.

To have a Martial Soul without reaching the Xuan Transformation Realm filled Chen You with ecstatic joy.

But due to insufficient cultivation, he couldn’t control his Martial Soul as those Martial Artists with mature Martial Souls could.

His Martial Soul was a third-rank Spiritual Beast called the Phoenix Claw Fire Cat, adept at fire attacks and evasion.

In order to mature his Martial Soul as soon as possible, Chen You often condensed True Qi in private to form his Martial Soul.

Once, the Phoenix Claw Fire Cat inadvertently escaped, and during that incident, it attacked a student from the Martial Arts Academy, seriously injuring them.

When Chen You first discovered it, he was very afraid, fearful of severe punishment from the Academy.

Little did he know, the Phoenix Claw Fire Cat had become much stronger from this sneak attack.

For this reason, Chen You was very pleased.

He wanted his Phoenix Claw Fire Cat to grow quickly, hoping it could become even stronger than Xin Lin’s Overlord Egg.

Furthermore, the attack on the student soon attracted the attention of the school authorities.

In order to conceal his own wrongdoing, Chen You thought to shift the blame onto Xin Lin’s Overlord Egg.

The Spirit Art of the fire cat, to some extent, was very similar to that of the Overlord Egg.

As time passed, the teachers and students of Qingtian Academy became convinced that the fierce beast responsible for the violence was the Overlord Egg.

The School Clinic had attracted the attention of the Phoenix Claw Fire Cat a few days earlier, thanks to Xin Lin’s Jade Pure Spring.

It had stolen the Spiritual Spring and some spiritual fruits and vegetables numerous times, enhancing its own cultivation as a result of the Spiritual Spring.

Had it not been for Xin Lin and Murong Ziyue catching it in the act this time, it would have continued its violent spree.

"So it is, it seems you too have your own difficulties, and the Phoenix Claw Fire Cat simply doesn’t obey your commands. You are not to be blamed for this."

Upon hearing this, Governor Huang displayed a face of "profound understanding."

Having a third-level Spiritual Beast as a Martial Soul meant Chen You’s Martial Soul could only grow stronger in the future.

"Hold on, what do you mean by not blaming him? If Xin Lin’s Spiritual Beast does something wrong, it is a mistake. If your student’s Martial Soul harms or kills someone, you don’t blame him? Governor Huang, your heart seems far too biased."

Master Mo was the first to object.

"That’s right, the Emperor is subject to the same laws as the commoners. Chen You cannot stay at Qingtian Academy any longer."

Mu Chen added his voice.

"Hmph~ You’re just jealous that our Martial Arts Academy has a promising candidate for the Ying Chu Conference and you don’t. I’m telling you, today, no one will lay a hand on Chen You and his Martial Soul."
