Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Winning People's Hearts with Routines

  Time passed slowly. Three hours later, Zhu Yuling successfully absorbed the 4000-year-old Nether Wolf Soul Ring, and her Soul Power reached Level 41.

  "It's getting late. It's not safe for Miss Zhu to bring her child alone in the Star Forest. Why don't you stay with us and wait until tomorrow morning before continuing your journey."

  Lan Xiaodie took the initiative to ask the other party to stay. If she let the other party take the little girl away from here, she might be in danger of her life in this dangerous Star Forest.

  "Thank you, Master Zhu Yuling."

  The Soul Douluo strongman took her in, which touched Zhu Yuling very much. This was the first time she had encountered such treatment.

  "You're welcome." Lan Xiaodie waved her hand indifferently.

  The two walked slowly towards the cave. Lan Xiaodie looked at the woman who was nearly 40 years old and had the strength of the Soul Sect. She already knew that her status in the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire was very low. She just didn't understand why she had to bring a 6-year-old girl with her to obtain the fourth soul ring? And the little girl only had a soul power of level 8. Isn't this a drag?

  "Aunt..."

  At this time, Xiao Zhuqing ran over from the front and threw herself into Zhu Yuling's arms, tears in her eyes.

  "Qing'er, thank you for saving my life."

  Zhu Yuling hugged her poor niece, feeling very distressed. This feeling of surviving a disaster really made her feel very scared.

  "Zhu Zhuqing thanks you for saving my life."

  Xiao Zhuqing immediately knelt down to salute Lan Xiaodie. The other party was a Soul Douluo, and she dared not lose her manners.

  "Silly girl! Get up quickly!" Lan Xiaodie found it very interesting to see that this little girl was so sensible, so she reached out and helped Xiao Zhuqing up.

  "Senior sister! It's time for dinner." At this time, Su Lin's voice came from the cave.

  "Miss Zhu, bring the children to eat with us! I guess you are hungry after a day of tossing."

  Lan Xiaodie said to Zhu Yuling, then took Ye Liangchen's little hand and walked towards the cave.

  "Thank you, sir."

  Zhu Yuling was extremely moved, holding Xiao Zhuqing and following Lan Xiaodie.

  The meal was very rich. Su Lin and Lan Xiaoling prepared ten dishes in total, which made everyone feast on their appetites.

  "Can you tell me your name, sir? It will also be remembered by Qing'er and me."

  After dinner, Zhu Yuling helped to boil water and wash the cooking utensils, and also asked about the identities of Lan Xiaodie and the others.

  "We are teachers of Tianshui College."

  Lan Xiaodie and the other two had opened their martial souls before, and their aqua blue hair and water-attributed martial souls were exposed. In addition, their natural and stunning looks made it impossible to hide their identities.

  In the entire continent, only the beauties of Tianshui College meet these three conditions. This is something that everyone in the soul master world knows.

  "So you sirs are teachers of Tianshui College."

  "A few years ago, at the Xingluo Empire's soul master competition, I had the honor of meeting the contestants of Tianshui College. They were all beautiful women, which was really memorable."

  Zhu Yuling had already guessed the identities of Lan Xiaodie and the others when she saw the martial souls of the three people before, especially the ice phoenix martial soul. It is rumored that only the dean of Tianshui College has this kind of martial soul.

  "Tianshui College is a college that specializes in recruiting beautiful women. Our students are always the focus wherever they go."

  Su Lin smiled. As a teacher at Tianshui College, the students she taught were all beautiful women with both beauty and wisdom, which made her feel very accomplished.

  "Tianshui College is a holy land for female soul masters. It's a pity that you only accept soul masters with water attributes, which makes countless female soul masters who want to enter the college discouraged."

  Zhu Yuling sighed. As a female soul master, it is too difficult for her to survive in this cannibalistic world, and Tianshui College is undoubtedly a shelter for female soul masters.

  "Yes! Our Tianshui College..." Su Lin babble to Zhu Yuling about the glorious history of Tianshui College, and she felt that Tianshui College was like the first college in the entire continent.

  Xiao Zhuqing quietly listened to the adults talking about these things, and was very shocked. Her little mouth opened into an "o" shape. She had learned about Tianshui College from the adults at home, and naturally she was very yearning. If she could enter this college, she could survive.

  But she also knew it was impossible. Her martial soul was the Nether Spirit Cat, which had nothing to do with the water attribute and could not meet the requirements. Moreover, she was a member of the Xingluo Empire and her identity was very sensitive.

  Ye Liangchen was too lazy to listen to the boasting of feminists like Su Lin. After a rest, he came to the open space outside the cave alone to practice the Five Elements Divine Fist.

  "Hoo hoo..."

  Ye Liangchen attached his soul power to his fist and began to practice those moves. The fist wind made a whirring sound, which was very powerful.

  However, it is still impossible to transform soul power into a shape. It is estimated that it will take a few more years of practice before the soul power can be transformed into five forms of dragon, snake, tiger, leopard and crane.

  "He is so powerful!"

  Ye Liangchen's actions attracted Xiao Zhuqing's curiosity. Seeing Ye Liangchen's small body, but with such powerful strength, she was very shocked.

  "My lord, who is that little boy?"

  Everyone was attracted by Ye Liangchen's practice, especially Zhu Yuling and Xiao Zhuqing, who were very surprised.

  "He is our nephew."

  "This little guy is very talented and likes to study. He usually likes to study some martial arts and practice blindly." Lan Xiaodie and her sister said lightly. In front of outsiders, they can't tell about the Five Elements Divine Fist.

  There are martial arts in Douluo Continent. The soldiers of the empire who have no soul power often practice martial arts to kill the enemy, but they are very crude and not as exquisite as the Five Elements Divine Fist.   

  As she gradually understood the Five Elements Divine Fist, Lan Xiaodie also understood that without the detailed things such as the boxing manual, mental method, and steps, others could not learn it. Even if the two women saw Ye Liangchen's practice, there was no need to worry that they could learn it.

  Xiao Zhuqing was very fascinated and thought to herself: How great it would be if I had such strength!

  Ye Liangchen practiced the Five Elements Divine Fist in front of everyone, with a clear purpose, which was to deliberately attract the attention of the kitten and give her a good impression first.

  Ye Liangchen practiced attentively, and inadvertently glanced at the kitten's envious eyes, which felt very interesting. I thought crookedly in my heart: Kitten! Envy! Do you want strength? Do you want to break free from fate? Come and hang out with me, I will guarantee that you will soar to the sky, and becoming a god is child's play.

  Zhu Zhuqing's wish is very simple, that is, to become stronger and then survive. Ye Liangchen will show a little bit of strength now, let her see how powerful he is, and give her another choice.

  This is called: Since ancient times, deep love cannot be retained, and routines win people's hearts.

  Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé Dai Mubai should be about 9 years old now. That guy's innate soul power seems to be level 8. Because he couldn't stand the suppression of his eldest brother, he fled from Xingluo Country to Shrek and began to indulge in life. Even so, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, his soul power still reached level 37, which shows that his talent for cultivation is also okay.

  Ye Liangchen didn't make any comments on Dai Mubai's character. This person is quite loyal, but the other party's words that women are not counted as population, but only as resources, are not liked.

  The inhumane competition system of the royal family of Xingluo Empire makes Dai Mubai unable to resist fate, and can only become a down-and-out prince who is addicted to fireworks.

  For the Shrek Seven Devils, Ye Liangchen plans to dig up the kitten, and this kind of top-quality goddess will never be left to the white tiger. As for the other six monsters, as long as Ye Liangchen intercepts the fairy grass, they will not be able to grow.

  After practicing the Five Elements Fist, Ye Liangchen took out the sword given by Lan Xiaodie and practiced the swordsmanship left by his father. Although the swordsmanship was not as good as "Wanmei Yingfeng" and "Tianwai Feixian", it was already the top swordsmanship for the Douluo World.

  Su Lin learned that this sword was given to Lan Xiaodie by her mother, so Ye Liangchen named it: Blue Smoke Sword. It represents the deep sisterly love between her mother Liu Ruyan and Lan Xiaodie.

  "Shua shua shua..."

  The Blue Smoke Sword in Ye Liangchen's hand drew beautiful sword flowers, which were extremely gorgeous and dazzled everyone.

  "He also knows swordsmanship! It's amazing."

  Xiao Zhuqing was stunned. At home, she could only practice some simple fighting skills besides practicing soul power. This was taught to her by her aunt.

  At this moment, she was very shocked to see Ye Liangchen's exquisite swordsmanship, and her big eyes revealed a look of desire. She thought: How great it would be if I could learn it!

  "Sir! This child has a promising future!"

  Zhu Yuling was stunned by Ye Liangchen's performance. She had never seen such an excellent six-year-old child.

  Sure enough! Excellent children are from other people's families. Although Zhu Yuling has no children, she compared the little boy with Zhu Zhuqing. They were like heaven and earth.

  "This child is also very pitiful. He lost his parents when he was only three months old."

  "We just hope that he can live a safe life. As for the rest, we dare not force it. We can just let it go."

  Lan Xiaodie and the others could not expose the fact that Ye Liangchen had twin martial spirits in front of outsiders. "

  He lost his parents at the age of three months. He is really a pitiful child." Zhu Yuling exclaimed, lamenting the cruelty of this world.

  Xiao Zhuqing also sighed in his heart: He lost his parents at the age of three months. It turns out that he is even more miserable than me! But although I have parents, it is the same as if I have no parents. We are all pitiful people.

  ...

  It was late at night. Lan Xiaodie carried a large bucket of hot water and walked to Ye Liangchen, interrupting the little guy's practice.

  "Xiaochen! That's all for today. Auntie has prepared hot water for you. Go take a bath. It's time for you to rest." Lan Xiaodie took the little guy's hand and walked towards the river.

  "Thank you, Auntie Lan."

  After arriving at the river, Ye Liangchen took off his clothes, jumped into the big wooden barrel, and took a hot bath. He felt very comfortable.

  Xiao Zhuqing, who was far away, saw Lan Xiaodie taking care of Ye Liangchen carefully, and thought: Although he has no parents, he still has relatives who care and love him. He is a thousand times happier than me.

  There was no conversation that night. The next morning, everyone ate some dry food and began to leave the Star Forest.

  Lan Xiaodie was still worried about the safety of Zhu Yuling and Xiao Zhuqing, so she took them out of the Star Forest directly and sent them to the border of Xingluo Country, which took another two days.

  "You should be safe here, so we'll leave first."

  Several people waved to Zhu Yuling and Xiao Zhuqing, and then quickly rushed towards the Soul Hunter Town.

  "Thank you three adults for saving my life." Zhu Yuling took Xiao Zhuqing to pay her respects to Lan Xiaodie and the others.

  Xiao Zhuqing quietly watched the people leaving quickly, wanting to remember the figure of the little boy forever, but the speed of the high-level spirit master was too fast, and soon the figures disappeared.

  "Qing'er! Do you like that little guy?" Zhu Yuling looked at Xiao Zhuqing's expression and smiled sweetly.

  "Ah...! Aunt! I don't!" Zhu Zhuqing immediately shook her head, her face slightly red, but she remembered the little boy named Ye Liangchen in her heart.

  "Qing'er! It's your misfortune to be in our Zhu family, and you have no chance to choose."

  "But aunt still hopes that you will live on with strength."

  Zhu Yuling held Xiao Zhuqing in her arms, feeling sad for her fate. If there is no miracle, this girl's life will wither at the age of 25.

  The little girl awakened her martial spirit and her innate spirit power reached level 7. Her elder sister thought that the little girl was a threat, so she secretly sent people to interfere with the little girl's practice, and from time to time caught some snakes and insects to scare her, making the little girl live in fear and anxiety every day.

  Zhu Yuling sighed and rushed to Xingluo Country with Xiao Zhuqing in her arms. Although she felt sorry for the girl, her strength was limited and she could not change anything.
