Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 859 Where is Qiu'er's home?
Ling Luochen had initially managed to restrain himself.

Even though she, like Zhang Lexuan, hadn't done *that* for over a month, she absolutely couldn't do such a thing with Ma Xiaotao.

She had initially worried that Jiang Ming would forcefully push things through, but it was clear that after sensing their nervousness, Jiang Ming let them off the hook.

What she didn't expect was that while she and Jiang Ming had restrained themselves, it was Ma Xiaotao, that silly girl, who couldn't restrain herself!
She forgot that Ma Xiaotao had a lingering effect of "evil fire"!

Even though the evil fire had been completely cured, some residual reactions in her body still made it impossible for Ma Xiaotao to resist.

Sensing that something terrible was about to happen, Ling Luochen prepared to run away.

She embodied the spirit of Kong Rong sharing pears and gave them to Ma Xiaotao tonight.

But before she could get up, her wrist was grabbed by a large hand.

She tried to break free, but the large hand held her tightly.

With Jiang Ming's current strength, even if Ling Luochen used all her strength, she would not be able to break free from Jiang Ming's grasp.

Ling Luochen trembled, a wave of sorrow washing over him.

It seems there's no escaping it now.

"Ha~"

Sunlight streamed into the room from outside. Zhang Lexuan opened her eyes, threw back the covers, and yawned as she changed out of her nightgown.

She has barely slept for the past month or so.

Although her cultivation level was as high as 97, it wouldn't have much of an impact on her, but after a good night's sleep, she felt much more relaxed.

She even felt that her cultivation level had improved slightly.

Could it be because of the dual cultivation yesterday afternoon?
As Zhang Lexuan thought about it, she took off her nightgown and put on a white floral dress, tying her long hair into a phoenix bun.

After washing up, Zhang Lexuan went into the kitchen to cook for the whole family.

Jiang Ming used to do this job; his cooking skills were much better than hers.

But Jiang Ming had been exhausted for over a month, and she still planned to cook for everyone herself.

However, just as Zhang Lexuan entered the kitchen, Jiang Ming also came out of his room upstairs.

He has his own biological clock, and he basically wakes up as soon as it's light. Unless something unexpected happens, this biological clock has never gone wrong.

Almost in sync with Zhang Lexuan, Jiang Ming also planned to go to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Because there were no obstructions between the kitchen and the stairs leading downstairs, Zhang Lexuan saw Jiang Ming coming down from upstairs as soon as she reached the kitchen door.

She blinked, as if she had thought of something, and asked with some surprise, "Were you in Qiu'er's room last night?"

Liya lives on the first floor, she, Ma Xiaotao, and Ling Luochen live on the second floor, and Wang Qiu'er lives upstairs.

This was the allocation we discussed together back then.

Since Liya is a sea spirit beast, she is more suited to living in the water, so the entire first floor was built as a sea-themed room for her.

Wang Qiu'er had just won the qualifying round and was a novice. She was embarrassed to live too close, so she chose the third floor herself.

Jiang Ming came down from the third floor; it was obvious who he had been tormenting last night.

However, Zhang Lexuan was wrong this time. Wang Qiu'er had been meditating and cultivating all night and was not disturbed at all.

However, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen suffered greatly, not only physically but also psychologically.

What a miserable old man!
Jiang Ming smiled mysteriously, didn't reply, and instead put his arm around Zhang Lexuan and went into the kitchen.

"It's been a long time since I cooked, so I'll make you guys a good meal."

As he spoke, Jiang Ming began to busy himself in the kitchen.

He, Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, Liya, and Wang Qiu'er—a family of six, all of whom are Soul Masters and have quite a large appetite.

Zhang Lexuan still had some doubts, but she didn't say anything and naturally started helping out.

While Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan were cooking, on the third floor, Wang Qiu'er, who had been meditating all night, opened her eyes, looked at the rising sun on the horizon, and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Her current cultivation level is the lowest among this family, and she is a very proud person, so naturally she is unwilling to fall behind and is unwilling to be last.

Jiang Ming can't catch up. Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao, and Ling Luochen are all Super Douluo, at level 96 or 97, and they still can't catch up.

However, catching up with Liya's cultivation level, which is that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, shouldn't be too difficult.

However, even though she was an imperial auspicious beast, her cultivation speed had indeed slowed down considerably after reaching level eighty, and she was still a long way from becoming a titled Douluo.

She stood up, pushed open the door, and wanted to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

As an imperial auspicious beast, she is very clean.

However, when she stepped out of the room, she saw two furtive figures.

"Ok?"

Wang Qiu'er looked at Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, who were sneaking towards the bathroom, with a hint of doubt in her beautiful eyes.

"Did you come all this way just to take a bath?"

There are bathrooms on the second floor, so why go all the way to the third floor to take a shower?
Should the two of you shower together?

"."

Upon hearing Wang Qiu'er's voice, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, who had been pushing and shoving each other and looking furtive as they headed towards the bathroom, suddenly froze as if they had been struck by a spell.

A second later, Ma Xiaotao stood up straight. Although her body was still trembling with fatigue, she managed to steady herself.

"Well, we're here to wake you up and take a shower while we're at it."

As she spoke, Ma Xiaotao nudged Ling Luochen beside her with her shoulder: "Right?"

Ling Luochen blinked and said, "Ah, yes! That's exactly it!"

Ma Xiaotao forced a smile: "Do you want to take a shower? Then let's go downstairs and shower."

As she spoke, Ma Xiaotao walked towards the stairs.

Although the battlefield had just been cleaned up and their bedding had been stored in their soul storage devices, there should be no residue left.

But having just experienced a thrilling battle the night before, the two of them were feeling guilty and were afraid that Wang Qiu'er might notice or smell something.

Seeing Ma Xiaotao slip away, Ling Luochen immediately followed.

After their 'fighting side by side' last night, the relationship between the two of them seems to have undergone a very subtle change.

Very subtle, extremely subtle!

"Ok?"

Wang Qiu'er watched the two figures hurrying downstairs, tilted her head, and looked somewhat puzzled.

After the two went downstairs, she glanced at the third floor and saw that the door to another bedroom on the third floor was open.

Normally, this bedroom is unoccupied, and the door is always closed.

Wang Qiu'er frowned slightly and went into the room to take a look. The furnishings in the room were the same as before, with no changes.

But there seemed to be a faint, strange smell in the air.

Wang Qiu'er's nose twitched slightly as she smelled a rather strange odor.

However, she couldn't detect anything more from the very faint scent, so she simply gave up.

After closing the door, Wang Qiu'er went into the bathroom, took off her clothes, and revealed her perfect body.

Soon, a misty fog rose up, naturally blurring the image.

Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, who had rushed downstairs, glanced at Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan, who were busy in the kitchen, and then quickly slipped into the bathroom.

The sound of rushing water came from the bathroom, and the faint sounds of two people blaming each other could be heard in the background.

While complaining, Ling Luochen glanced at Ma Xiaotao's extraordinary talent with his cold eyes, feeling a little jealous.

Knowing that Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan were cooking in the kitchen, the two did not stay in the bathroom for too long. After tidying themselves up and making sure there was no odor, they came out with peace of mind.

Just then, Wang Qiu'er came downstairs, and Liya came upstairs. Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan had also finished making breakfast.

"Come and eat, everyone has worked hard these past few days."

As he spoke, Jiang Ming turned his head and glanced at Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, who were coming out of the bathroom.

These two must have had a particularly tough night.

When Ling Luochen was looked at by Jiang Ming, the scene from last night subconsciously surfaced in her mind, and two blushes immediately appeared on her usually cool face.

Ma Xiaotao, on the other hand, seemed to have given up and went straight to the dining table to sit down.

What's there to be ashamed of now that it's already done?

Breakfast was eaten in a very quiet manner.

Because of what happened last night, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen were afraid of being discovered by Zhang Lexuan, so they ate in silence.

Wang Qiu'er's eyes darted between the two of them, feeling even more puzzled, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was so strange about them.

Liya, oblivious to the somewhat strange atmosphere, devoured her delicious breakfast with great relish.

As for Zhang Lexuan, after seeing Qiu'er's usual expression, she knew that Jiang Ming probably hadn't bothered Qiu'er last night.

Neither is Liya.

On the other hand, Xiao Tao and Luo Chen looked rather strange.

However, they weren't this strange when Jiang Ming tormented them for the first time.

Is it
Zhang Lexuan thought of a possibility, and once it appeared in her mind, she felt that it was highly likely!
She blinked, glanced at Jiang Ming beside her, and then at Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, who were engrossed in their meal.

Did you have that much fun last night?

Even the mature and composed Zhang Lexuan was taken aback.

She had never thought of playing like this before.

It was somewhat beyond her expectations.

But it also piqued her curiosity.

Breakfast time passed quietly like that.

After cleaning up the dishes, Zhang Lexuan discussed the matter of seclusion with Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, and of course, asked about the situation last night.

Their progress in the deity assessment has fallen a little behind in recent years, but now that there's nothing major going on, they naturally need to catch up as soon as possible.

Jiang Ming, on the other hand, stood on the balcony, looking at the shimmering Poseidon Lake in the sunlight not far away, pondering what to do next.

The sun god told him to spend the next year handling all his miscellaneous affairs in the mortal realm before proceeding with the eighth and ninth tests.

He couldn't guess what the eighth and ninth exams would be about, but he would definitely have to focus on some miscellaneous tasks during the rest year ahead.

My cultivation level has already reached level 99, so there's not much point in continuing to improve. I just need to wait until after the eighth and ninth trials, and then I can directly reach level 100 and become a god.

so.
As Jiang Ming pondered this, he walked into the study on the second floor.

Although it's called a study, Jiang Ming has hardly ever been inside since the room was renovated. This seems to be the first time he's properly entered a study.

In the study, one entire wall is lined with bookshelves, filled with a dazzling array of books.

However, these books are basically just for decoration; Jiang Ming won't look at them.

Back when his cultivation level was stuck at level 69 and he couldn't break through to level 70, he had already read most of the books in Shrek Academy.

The contents of the books on the bookshelf were all in his mind.

He walked to the desk, picked up a blank notebook and a brand-new civilian-grade Soul Guide Pen.

Over the years, Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department has absorbed all sorts of talents. Some of these talents have exceptional talent in military-related soul tools, while others have a more focused interest in civilian-related soul tools.

As for the Soul Guidance Department, thanks to some suggestions from Jiang Ming, they did not devote all the Soul Guidance talents to the research and development of military-type Soul Guidance devices. Instead, they allowed them to give full play to their strengths and cultivate their expertise in their respective fields.

In any case, the Soul Guidance Department has established long-term cooperation with the three major empires over the years, so it is definitely not lacking in gold soul coins.

Moreover, those soul tools for people's livelihood can also generate good economic benefits after large-scale production.

This civilian soul guide pen is one of the more economically viable civilian soul guide devices.

Jiang Ming put down the notebook, held the Soul Guide Pen, and lightly tapped it twice to draw a vertical line.

First of all, I haven't been back to Qingshui City for so many years, I need to find some time to go back and see Uncle Nie and Aunt Lan.

This should be our top priority!

Jiang Ming wrote this at the very top.

As for Sister Lexuan taking Xiaotao and Luochen into seclusion, they can do that after they go to Qingshui City; it won't take much time.

Previously, I always took Sister Lexuan back with me, but this time I must bring all the women along so that Uncle Nie and Aunt Lan can get to know them all.

Then, I took Liya back to the Ice Sea.

He had promised the sea princess that he would bring Liya back to the Ice Sea to see her once a year, but it's been almost two years and he's already broken his promise, so this is a bit urgent.

Therefore, Jiang Ming put this matter second.

then
On the Xiao Tao family's side, and on the Luo Chen family's side.
You can go to the Luo Chen family first. Ling Luo Chen's family is located near the far north, in the same direction as Qing Shui City and the Ice Sea, so it's convenient.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming took out a detailed map of Douluo Continent from the bookshelf.

The Ice Sea is undoubtedly the furthest. If you go there from Qingshui City, you have to cross the entire far north. However, for Jiang Ming at full speed, it only takes a day.

"And Xiao Tao's family lives near Tian Dou City."

Jiang Ming drew a line on the map: Tian Dou City, where the Xiao Tao family was located; Xuan Bing City, where the Luo Chen family was located; Qing Shui City; and the Ice Sea. All of these were located in the northern part of the Tian Hun Empire, and could even be considered the far north. He wanted Xue Di to go back and take a look.

This whole process basically covered all the women's families.

Only one remains.
Where is Qiu'er's reclusive family located?
