Douluo: Qian Daoliu has had a crush on me for a long time

Chapter 21: Beast Hunting Forest
After a pause, he continued, "But we have a request. If we help you obtain the spirit rings, then it has nothing to do with them."

Song Baiyu turned around and looked at Ye Jingqiu complacently, saying, "Don't worry about the spirit ring issue. I am sure you can obtain the century-old spirit ring that best matches your martial spirit in the Beast Hunting Forest."

Ye Jingqiu narrowed his eyes slightly. No, Song Baiyu's tone was too firm. It was obvious that he was absolutely sure. Even if it was a soul beast in captivity, Song Baiyu should not be so relaxed.

She must have some other tricks up her sleeve.

"Also, how about I give each of you 300 gold soul coins?" Song Baiyu sneered and said, "For lowly people like you, 300 gold soul coins is not a small amount. Some of you may never have so much money in your entire life."

Upon hearing this, a trace of panic flashed across Hu Liena's face. She looked up at Shuang Zuozuo and Shuang Youyou. At this time, the tasks and task targets had been assigned. If Shuang Zuozuo and Shuang Youyou chose to agree to Song Baiyu's conditions, it would mean that their mission had failed.

Song Baiyu had a proud look on her face. She looked down on everyone. She was sure that the two of them would be dazzled by the conditions she proposed. She curled the corners of her lips slightly and looked at Ye Jingqiu teasingly, not wanting to miss any panic expression on her face.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

Ye Jingqiu had an indifferent expression from beginning to end, as if he didn't take Song Baiyu seriously at all.

Shuang Zuozuo said, "Thank you for your kindness, but since the academy has already assigned us teams, there's no reason for us to choose you."

Although these people in front of them were all children of nobles, the brother and sister were not afraid of them.

Song Baiyu was slightly stunned, squinted his eyes, and then said, "Five hundred gold soul coins per person."

Even after saying this, Shuang Zuozuo and Shuang Youyou remained unmoved, as if they didn't take Song Baiyu seriously at all.

Hu Liena finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this.

Yan, who always had a hot temper, said, "Song Baiyu, didn't you hear? They don't need you. I advise you to go back to where you came from."

After a pause, Yan looked at Xie Yue and said, "Captain, it's getting late. We should leave."

Xie Yue nodded, and then the group ignored Song Baiyu and the others.

"Ye Jingqiu—" Song Baiyu glared at their backs fiercely, then turned to the chubby boy and said, "Don't show them any mercy. I'm going to make sure they never come back!"

The boy was obviously hesitant. "But this is the Spirit Hall Academy after all. If they find us..."

"Are you stupid? Do you have to be discovered by them? Can't you be more careful?" Song Baiyu paused and said meaningfully, "Isn't your illegitimate child getting in your way? I can help you get rid of him."

The boy bit his lower lip and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yes—"

……

This was Ye Jingqiu's first time in the Beast Hunting Forest. Unlike the Star Dou Great Forest, this place was full of people. Outside the Beast Hunting Forest was a market, and in the market there were many people clamoring to form a team.

Perhaps sensing Ye Jingqiu's confusion, Xie Yue said, "Although the soul beasts in the Beast Hunting Forest aren't as powerful as those in the Star Dou Great Forest, there are still some powerful soul beasts. The safest way is to form a group and hunt them."

"However, a team like this, formed suddenly, is most likely to fall apart when faced with danger. They lack tacit understanding, are unfamiliar with their teammates, and inevitably become wary of them. This makes it even more likely for them to fall apart."

"This is what I want to say to everyone. Now that we have decided to form a team, we cannot abandon our teammates. I hope that everyone can trust their teammates."

Yan nodded heavily upon hearing this, "We understand, Captain!" Xie Yue didn't say anything more after that. Everyone walked forward. After passing the market, they came to a large forest. The forest was enclosed by steel fences, and outside stood soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons.

Xie Yue took out a token from his arms.

Ye Jingqiu looked over, and Xie Yue explained, "This is the Spirit Hall's token. You must show it if you want to enter the Soul Hunting Forest."

Ye Jingqiu nodded thoughtfully. She had not expected that the Spirit Hall was so powerful.

When Xie Yue handed the token to the soldiers, they looked at them and asked, "Are you all students from the Spirit Hall Academy?"

Xie Yue nodded, "That's right."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers did not make things any more difficult for them and let them in.

Xie Yue said, "This token belongs exclusively to our team. After we complete the mission, we will return it to the academy."

After saying that, Xie Yue carefully put the token away.

Like Ye Jingqiu, Lu Si'en entered the hunting forest and turned around to look around.

All this did not escape Ye Jingqiu's eyes. Lu Si'en was one step faster than her. She walked quickly forward and walked side by side with Lu Si'en. "You have never been to the Beast Hunting Forest?"

Lu Si'en was frank with Ye Jingqiu, "I have never been to the Beast Hunting Forest. I got my first spirit ring from the Star Dou Great Forest with my elders."

He didn't deliberately lower his voice. Song Liyang, who was closest to the two of them, turned around and exclaimed, "Lu Si'en, I've felt that you're not simple since the beginning of the school year."

After a pause, he walked towards Lu Si'en, sticking close to him, but before he touched him, Lu Si'en dodged sideways.

Song Liyang has always been a careless person, and he didn't notice this little detail, but Ye Jingqiu noticed it. It seems that Lu Sien doesn't like physical contact with others.

Song Liyang asked curiously, "Lu Si'en, who are you from? Are you also a noble?"

Lu Si'en remained silent and had no intention of answering Song Liyang's question.

After spending a few days together, Ye Jingqiu has gotten to know everyone's temperament and personality. She knows that Song Liyang is just curious, but Lu Si'en is a man of few words, let alone issues involving privacy.

Ye Jingqiu quickly said, "I've been here for half an hour, how come I haven't encountered a soul beast?"

As soon as these words came out, Song Liyang's attention was successfully diverted. He said, "There are quite a few people who come to the Beast Hunting Forest every year, especially at this time. We just came to the Beast Hunting Forest to hunt spirit rings a while ago."

Xie Yue, who was standing in front, turned around and said, "You've only been at the academy for a short time, so you probably don't know. Except for those of us who already have our first spirit rings when we enroll, the rest of us cultivate to level ten and then are led by the academy teachers to the Beast Hunting Forest to hunt for spirit rings."

"It wasn't long ago. The soul beasts in the Beast Hunting Forest should still be..."

Before he could finish his words, a loud bang was heard.
