Soul Exchange: This School Beauty Isn’t So Cold Chapter 166

The death spirits soon made their appearance. These spirits were essentially soul entities here, making ordinary physical attacks mostly ineffective against them.

Su Mo initially thought it would be difficult to defeat them without using his Yin Fire. Unexpectedly, these creatures automatically stopped about two meters away from him, as if fearing something.

It suddenly dawned on him. The Yin Fire’s suppression of souls wasn’t just about destructive power; it actually had an intimidating effect too.

Especially after he had absorbed Smith’s fire-attribute energy, which unlocked his second energy sea and significantly boosted the Yin Fire’s power, making its intimidating effect even more pronounced.

“They seem really scared of you,” Li Xiaomou quickly noticed something was off. Whether testing him or just purely curious, she suddenly spoke up.

“Scared of me? Clearly, they’re just…” Before he could finish his sentence, the army of death spirits retreated without even fighting.

“Still saying they’re not?” Li Xiaomou asked, amusement hidden in her eyes.

“Think whatever you want,” Su Mo dismissed her casually, his mind already racing on how to extract useful information from her next.

From the looks of it, she was deeply secretive, making this task far from easy.

The ancient tomb world had no sun, only a bright, full moon. At some point, without notice, the full moon had transformed into a crescent, hook-like in shape.

This particular detail wasn’t mentioned in the precautions Ye Qingyu had told him about.

The already eerie Death Mountains began to be swept by a sinister wind, accompanied by a cacophony of sounds—wailing, street vendor calls, laughter, conversation…

Su Mo prepared himself to potentially reveal his identity at any moment to handle unforeseen circumstances.

It was clear Li Xiaomou was also flustered, clearly not having anticipated such an event.

She seemed genuinely frightened, clutching Su Mo’s sleeve tightly.

In the dim world, the two of them resembled sisters in misfortune, banding together against the unknown variables.

The sinister wind blew for an unknowable length of time, only stopping when their vision plunged into complete darkness.

The various chaotic noises grew increasingly distinct, sounding as if they were right beside their ears.

“Everyone, come quick! Look, beauties appearing out of thin air!”

“Hey, their clothes are so strange.”

“Wow, these two fairies are so beautiful. I’m taking them home to bear my sons!”

“I saw them first, why should they go to you?”

“Because my family is rich! Because my father is the steward of the City Lord’s mansion, and yours is just a lowly guard!”

“You—”

“You what? Guards! Seize this ignorant brat!”

Their vision gradually cleared. A greasy, grotesquely ugly face appeared right before them, looking extremely lecherous. Su Mo reacted almost instinctively.

Smack!

The greasy man was sent flying by a single slap from him. The surrounding crowd gasped in astonishment, stepping back to avoid him.

But that wasn’t the main point. The main point was—the people surrounding them were all wearing ancient attire!

Had they traveled through time?

Time travel was Su Mo’s first thought.

But after calming down, he roughly understood what had happened.

Barring any accidents, this was probably a hidden space within the ancient tomb ruins. The people around them were natives, much like the living dead they encountered in the Jing Mountain ruins.

He glanced at the others, noticing they looked no different from ordinary people; only their clothing was unusual.

The two of them were being gawked at by the crowd like monkeys. The greasy man who had just been slapped was now letting out pig-like squeals: “My father is the steward of the City Lord’s mansion! You shrew, how dare you hit me…”

Su Mo couldn’t be bothered with him. Instead, he turned to Li Xiaomou beside him. “Do you know what’s happening?”

Li Xiaomou hadn’t spoken a word since waking up, but she hadn’t stopped observing her surroundings. Now called upon by Su Mo, she turned to look at him, her expression freezing momentarily.

However, she quickly blinked a few times as if nothing was wrong and asked, puzzled, “What did you just say?”

Su Mo noticed her strange expression but didn’t comment, simply repeating his question.

“I don’t know…” she said, her eyes darting away, seemingly avoiding his gaze.

“Alright then. Barring any accidents, an accident has probably occurred,” Su Mo said with a serious expression. He randomly “grabbed” a passerby and asked, “Ma’am, do you know who I am?”

The woman looked troubled, the flesh on her face twitching nervously. “F-Fairy… the one who offended you was him, not me! Spare me, please spare me…”

Despite Su Mo’s gentle tone and kind appearance, the woman was terrified of him.

After all, someone who could slap a fully-grown man flying was no ordinary person. Her sudden appearance on the street, coupled with her strange attire, inevitably inspired fear.

Finally, a young boy, captivated by his imposing demeanor, spoke up with admiration, “Fairy Sister, can you take me as your disciple and teach me cultivation?”

A light flickered in Su Mo’s eyes. He seized the chance to ask a question in return. “Why do you call me Fairy Sister? Is it because I’m beautiful?”

“Of course! But not just that. My parents told me only immortals can appear and vanish without a trace. Ordinary cultivators can, at most, achieve physical flight. Since you are an immortal and so beautiful, of course you are Fairy Sister!”

Through his conversation with the boy, Su Mo gained a rough understanding of this place.

From the looks of it, human society here was still in an ancient stage of development, and a cultivation civilization existed.

Based on the boy’s comment about cultivators “at most” achieving physical flight, the upper power limit here was probably similar to that of his original world.

“Fairy Sister, you haven’t told me if you’ll agree to teach me cultivation yet.”

Just as Su Mo was about to answer, a woman hurriedly covered the boy’s mouth, her face showing a trace of fear. “The child speaks nonsense. Please do not take offense, Fairy.”

“It’s fine. I just think he’s cute.”

At that moment, the greasy man, who had been yapping and whining incessantly, finally lost his composure. He stomped towards Su Mo, spewing vulgarities as he came.

Unlike the others, he didn’t think these two “fairies” were anything special, all because his father was the steward of the City Lord’s mansion.

Seeing this foolish young man about to cause trouble, most of the onlookers scattered. Some hid further away to watch the spectacle, afraid of getting burned.

Even the greasy man’s lackeys tried to persuade him, but it was useless.

“I don’t care! If they submit to me, then they are fairies. If they refuse, I’ll have my father avenge me and have them captured!” he insisted stubbornly.

The person who had been competing with him earlier had quickly slipped away after witnessing Su Mo’s capabilities, so now only the greasy man remained obstinate.

Su Mo was both angry and amused. “From the sound of it, your father seems very powerful?”

“Of course he is! My father is the steward of the City Lord’s mansion. In Cloud City, he’s second only to one person, above tens of thousands! He doesn’t even need to lift a finger himself; just a single word from him, and a crowd of people will actively try to kill you for him.”

Judging by his words, Su Mo was fairly certain this man wasn’t quite right in the head. He decided to try and extract more information from him.

Tch. Even if it feels a bit unethical… whatever. Consider it helping him learn the joy of aiding others—a good deed.

Just as Su Mo was about to speak, a loud, booming voice came from the other end of the street: “Fairy, please show mercy! My son is simple-minded; do not stoop to his level!”

The sound of horse hooves clattering against the blue stone pavement followed closely behind the voice.
