Chapter 16: Winning People's Hearts with Routines



Time passed slowly, and 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 be alone with her child in the Star Forest. Why don't you stay with us and continue your journey tomorrow morning?"

Lan Xiaodie took the initiative to ask the other party to stay. If he was allowed to take the little girl away, her life might be in danger in this dangerous Star Forest.

"Zhu Yuling thanks you very much, sir."

Zhu Yuling was extremely moved that the Soul Douluo master took her in. This was the first time she had ever received such treatment.

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

The two walked slowly towards the cave. Lan Xiaodie saw that the woman was nearly 40 years old and had only the strength of the Soul Sect. She knew that her status in the Zhu family of the Xingluo 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 was only level 8 soul power. Wouldn't this be a drag? "Little aunt..."

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

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

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

"Zhu Zhuqing thanks you for saving my life."

Xiao Zhuqing immediately knelt down and saluted Lan Xiaodie. The other party was a Soul Douluo, and she dared not be impolite.

"Silly girl! Get up quickly!" Lan Xiaodie found it very interesting that the 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.

"Ms. Zhu, bring the children over to eat with us! I'm sure you've been busy all day and must be hungry."

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

"Thank you, sir."

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

The meal was very rich. Su Lin and Lan Xiaoling cooked a total of ten dishes, which made everyone feast on the food.

"Could you please tell me your name? It will also help Qing'er and I remember it."

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 from Tianshui College."

Lan Xiaodie and the other two had activated their martial spirits before, exposing their aqua blue hair and water-attributed martial spirits. Coupled with their stunning looks, they could no longer hide their identities.

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

"It turns out that the adults are teachers from Tianshui College."

"A few years ago, at the Xingluo Empire's Soul Master Competition, I had the honor of meeting the contestants from Tianshui College. They were all beautiful women, and they left a deep impression on me."

When Zhu Yuling saw the three people's martial spirits before, she had already guessed the identities of Lan Xiaodie and the others, especially the Ice Phoenix martial spirit. It was rumored that only the dean of Tianshui College possessed this kind of martial spirit.

"Tianshui College is a college that specializes in enrolling beautiful girls. 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 and intelligent, which made her feel a sense of accomplishment.

"Tianshui Academy is a holy place for female soul masters. It's a pity that you only accept soul masters with water attributes, which discourages countless female soul masters who want to enter the academy."

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

"Yes! Our Tianshui College..." Su Lin talked to Zhu Yuling about the glorious history of Tianshui College, and felt that Tianshui College was the number one college in the entire continent.

Xiao Zhuqing was quietly listening to the adults talking about these things. She was very shocked, and her little mouth opened into an "o" shape. She had heard about Tianshui College from the adults at home, and naturally yearned for it. If she could enter this college, she could save her life.

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

Ye Liangchen was too lazy to listen to the bragging of feminists like Su Lin. He rested for a while and went to the open space outside the cave alone to practice the Five Elements Divine Fist for a while.

“Huff…”

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

However, I am not able to transform my soul power into a human form yet. I will probably need to practice for a few more years before I can use my soul power to transform into the five forms of dragon, snake, tiger, leopard, and crane.

“He’s so awesome!”

Ye Liangchen's actions attracted Xiao Zhuqing's curiosity. She was shocked to see that Ye Liangchen had such powerful strength in such a small body.

"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. They cannot tell others about the Five Elements Divine Fist.

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

Xiao Zhuqing was so absorbed in watching that she 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 little kitten and give her a good impression first.

Ye Liangchen was practicing attentively. He glanced at the kitten casually and found the envious look in his eyes. He felt it was very interesting. He thought to himself: Kitty! Envy! Do you want strength? Do you want to break free from fate? Come and hang out with me. I will make sure you soar to the sky and become a god.

Zhu Zhuqing's wish is very simple, that is, to become stronger and survive. Ye Liangchen will show her 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, but routines can win people's hearts.

Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé Dai Mubai should be around 9 years old now. That guy's innate soul power seems to be level 8. Unable to bear the suppression of his eldest brother, he fled from Xingluo Country to Shrek and began to live a life of indulgence. Even so, when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, his soul power still reached level 37, which shows that his talent for cultivation is also pretty good.

Ye Liangchen did not make any comment on Dai Mubai's character. He was quite loyal, but he did not like what he said, that women were not counted as population but only as resources.

The inhumane competition system of the Xingluo Empire's royal family made Dai Mubai unable to resist his fate, and he could only become a down-and-out prince addicted to red-light districts.

As for the Shrek Seven Devils, Ye Liangchen planned to dig up the little cat, and would never leave this kind of top-notch goddess to the white tiger. As for the other six monsters, as long as Ye Liangchen intercepted the fairy grass, they would not be able to grow.

After practicing the Five Elements Fist, Ye Liangchen took out the sword given by Lan Xiaodie and practiced the sword technique left by his father. Although that sword technique was not as good as "Ten Thousand Plums Facing the Wind" and "Fairy from the Sky", it was already a top-level sword technique for the Douluo World.

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

“Swish, swish, swish…”

The Blue Smoke Sword in Ye Liangchen's hand drew beautiful sword flowers, so gorgeous that everyone was dazzled.

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

Xiao Zhuqing was stunned. Usually at home, apart from cultivating her soul power, she could only practice some simple fighting skills, which were taught to her by her aunt.

At this moment, she was very shocked by Ye Liangchen's exquisite swordsmanship. 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 bright future!"

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

Sure enough! Outstanding children are from other people's families. Although Zhu Yuling has no children, she compared the little boy with Zhu Zhuqing, and 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 peaceful life. As for the rest, we don't force it. We just let it be."

Lan Xiaodie and the others couldn't expose the fact that Ye Liangchen had twin martial spirits in front of outsiders.

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

Xiao Zhuqing was also sighing in his heart: He lost his parents when he was only three months old. It turned out that he was even more miserable than me! But even though 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 walked over to Ye Liangchen carrying a large bucket of hot water and interrupted the little guy's practice.

"Xiaochen! That's all for today's training. Auntie has prepared hot water for you. Go take a shower. 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 nice hot bath, feeling extremely comfortable all over.

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

Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, everyone ate some dry food and started to leave the Star Forest.

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

"You should be safe here, we'll be leaving now."

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

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

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

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

"Ah...! Aunt! I didn'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 don't have the chance to choose."

"But I still hope you can stay strong and live on."

Zhu Yuling held little Zhu Qing in her arms and felt sad for her fate. If no miracle happened, this girl's life would end at the age of 25.

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

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