Chapter 399: Chapter 399: One After Another _1
After the girl approached, Ye Ming smelled a peculiar fragrance that instantly made him feel dizzy and entranced.
Upon closer inspection, the girl in front of him was sweet-looking, with a princess cut hairstyle, wearing only a thin tank top, and a super short skirt paired with flip-flops.
Her appearance had already attracted the attention of the passersby around them.
If this were a common man, he would have been mesmerized by now.
However, Ye Ming’s vigilance heightened a bit more.
He detected the scent emanating from the girl’s body, mixed with hallucinogenic agents.
If he smelled it too much, he would be controlled by her.
Moreover, her eyes also emitted an unusual glow.
"So it’s the Soul Capturing Spell!" Ye Ming immediately realized.
This Illusion Technique could control a person’s thoughts and body, and its power was immense.
Ye Ming did not recognize the girl in front of him enough to let her harm him.
So, Ye Ming decided to play along, asking, "What kind of service?"
The girl smiled seductively, leaned in a bit closer, locked her gaze onto Ye Ming, and said, "Full-body massage service, essential oil back opening, and if you like, Mr. Ye, I can also use my own body to massage you."
"Let you experience the sensation of ascending to heaven."
Ye Ming chuckled coldly and said, "Ascend to heaven? But I don’t want to die that soon."
"Who are you, and why are you looking for me? Do we know each other?"
Ye Ming took a turn in his questioning and directly asked, "Who sent you to find me?"
The girl still maintained her smile, but her mouth was no longer under her control and she told Ye Ming everything, "I was sent by Lord Inoue, especially to capture Mr. Ye and bring him back to be offered as a sacrifice to Lord Fox Immortal!"
"The process is not painful, and moreover, you can receive Lord Inoue’s grace. You will surely like it a lot, Mr. Ye!"
Ye Ming furrowed his brows slightly and asked, "Who is Lord Inoue, and why should I accept her grace?"
The girl’s eyes began to look confused as she dully said, "Lord Inoue Harusame, the second-generation heir of the Holy Fox Immortal Temple. Mr. Ye Ming, now the Dragon Head of the rankings, is the best material for a sacrifice, so please don’t refuse!"
"But, seeing Mr. Ye so handsome and charming, before I offer you to Lord Inoue, I will first have a taste of you, Mr. Ye! Please don’t refuse!"
At this, the girl suddenly startled, breaking out into a cold sweat.
She clearly remembered that she was performing the Soul Capturing Spell on Ye Ming, but gradually, she realized she had blurted out all her inner thoughts.
And that wasn’t the worst of it.
The worst was that she had revealed her mission to Ye Ming; things were probably going to get bad.
Ye Ming was not swayed by the few words of the girl before him.
He sensed that the other party was about to perform the Soul Capturing Spell on him and had prepared a counterattack in advance.
It should be known that he had experienced this technique before; a disciple of Lin Guisan had tried to beguile him with the Seduction Technique.
Although the two techniques had different names, their functions were broadly the same, both spells to control people.
Should he relax even slightly, the girl would sense something and would have almost forced him to wake up.
Therefore, Ye Ming continued to pour his spiritual power, trying the same way to control her again.
"Well then, beautiful girl, why don’t you take me to meet your Lord Inoue Harusame? Where is she?"
Ye Ming’s voice, full of mystery, rang in the servant girl’s ear.
The servant girl nodded, her face breaking into a very happy expression as she hurriedly said, "The Holy Fox Immortal Temple is not far from here, let’s go!"
With that, the servant girl grabbed Ye Ming’s hand and tried to drag him away, but she couldn’t manage to move even half a step.
A booming explosion sounded from within the servant girl’s mind.
The servant girl screamed in agony and fell to the ground.
Her gaze gradually returned to normal, and anger spread across her face as she glared at Ye Ming and said, "You actually dared to secretly learn our Holy Fox Immortal Temple’s Soul Capturing Spell? How audacious!"
"I’m going to subdue you right now, even if I have to bind you and drag you back!"
The servant girl said as she moved to take action against Ye Ming.
Her delicate hand produced a hairpin, aiming straight for the center of Ye Ming’s forehead.
Ye Ming slowly raised his hand and firmly grasped her wrist.
Wincing in pain, the servant girl let out a soft gasp as the hairpin fell from her hand and shattered on the ground.
"You... let go of me!" the servant girl shouted frantically, and then she kicked out at him.
Ye Ming casually caught the servant girl’s ankle with his other hand and said in a threatening tone, "With such meager skills, you wish to harm me? You’re far from capable. If you dare to strike at me again, I won’t be so lenient!"
His words made the servant girl’s body go limp.
As their eyes met, the Soul Capturing Spell took effect again.
The servant girl hastily retracted her limbs and bowed deeply to Ye Ming, saying, "I apologize, Mr. Ye, I was reckless just now! Please punish me!"
Ye Ming looked at her coldly and said, "I’ve just arrived, and you already come looking for trouble. Naturally, I won’t let you off easily."
"Go back and tell that Inoue Harusame that I will visit the Holy Fox Immortal Temple; let her wait for me!"
"And you, get out of here immediately!"
The servant girl quickly nodded, her face on the verge of tears, full of remorse as she said, "Yes! Thank you for sparing me, Mr. Ye!"
Having said that, the servant girl immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Ye Ming, and then left dejectedly.
Ye Ming let out a sigh of relief; it seemed that he had not yet fully mastered the Soul Capturing Spell and needed to study it properly.
Just then, a string of praise came from behind.
"Mr. Ye truly deserves to be Dragon Country’s new Dragon List leader; such profound strength indeed!"
"To grasp the essence of the Soul Capturing Spell on your first encounter is truly remarkable. Given some more time, I fear your mastery might even surpass that of the Holy Fox Immortal Temple!"
Ye Ming furrowed his brows again, turned around, and saw a man with long hair in a suit, with a pale face, approaching.
"Who are you? Are you in cahoots with her?" Ye Ming questioned.
The man shook his head and said with a faint smile, "You misunderstand, Mr. Ye; I’m not from the Holy Fox Immortal Temple!"
"Allow me to introduce myself, I am from the Divine King Temple! I have come especially to welcome you to join our Divine King Temple!"
Without any consideration, Ye Ming shook his head and said directly, "Whatever the Divine King Temple is, I’m not interested!"
The man chuckled and said, "I had anticipated you would say that; the leader of the Dragon List has always been a tough person to persuade!"
"Since you are unwilling to join our Divine King Temple, then perhaps you can give me something for my troubles, to avoid my having come here in vain!"
