Douluo Continent: The Eternal Dawn

Chapter 12 Holy crap, there's a cow!
Although Tang Ya has a very cheerful personality, she has suffered the blows of losing her parents and the Tang Clan's mansion being occupied. Now, even Shrek Academy, which used to have a close relationship with the Tang Clan, is unwilling to help her.

No one could understand the despair in her heart, to the point that she completely broke down when she saw Ye Xixuan.

Tang Ya simply hugged Ye Xixuan and cried until she had soaked the front of Ye Xixuan's clothes. Only then did she raise her head again with red and swollen eyes.

The trembling of Ye Xi Xuanwu's soul had subsided. Gazing at Tang Ya's tear-filled face, he said softly yet firmly, "Sister Xiao Ya, no matter what happens, I will help you. Just like you took care of me before."

"You're so old-fashioned, you're not even as old as me." Tang Ya chuckled, deeply moved, almost snot bubbles coming out of her nose, her voice thick with nasal emotion. As her tense mind relaxed, she was overwhelmed by a deep sense of drowsiness and fell into a deep sleep, leaning against Ye Xixuan's shoulder.

She has been exhausted these days, both physically and mentally.

Ye Xixuan gently crouched down, letting Tang Ya lie on his back. He supported her soft, firm thighs with both hands and carried her on his back. After advancing to the Soul Master level, his physical strength and the power of his blood and qi had been fundamentally improved, so Tang Ya's weight was no burden at all.

"Senior Brother Bei, please tell Elder Mu that I won't be returning to the Sea God Pavilion tonight. I'm taking Sister Xiaoya to Shrek City first." Ye Xixuan turned around with Tang Ya on his back and looked at Bei Bei standing at the main entrance of Shrek Academy. Under the soft light of the soul guide lamp, Bei Bei's dark blue short hair shone with a lustrous luster like a gemstone.

Tang Ya's face was obscured by her hair, but Bei Bei could still roughly tell from her height that she was a girl of similar age to herself.

Despite his outwardly gentle and refined demeanor, he actually has a secretly passionate side. Especially when he's with Xu Sanshi, the two of them often discuss topics related to men and women, though of course, it's purely theoretical.

Beibei first gave Ye Xixuan a thumbs up, then patted her chest with a big smile.

"Don't worry, Xixuan, I'll take care of it. But you'll have to explain to Senior Sister yourself. Xuanzu said that Senior Sister will guide your cultivation tomorrow. Senior Sister is a rather stubborn person, so if I can't find you tomorrow, I'll be in trouble." He had always regarded Zhang Lexuan as his own sister, and his awe for her even outweighed his kinship.

Ye Xixuan nodded solemnly, "Senior Brother Bei, I will. I'll come over after I've settled Sister Xiaoya in Shrek City."

"Alright, I'll head back now. Remember to enter the city through the North Gate; it's the closest point, and the entire route is a wide main road." Beibei chuckled and turned to return to Seagod Island.

Just as he turned around, he suddenly turned back on a whim and saw Ye Xixuan and Tang Ya's figures disappear into the darkness, looking like two completely different styles from him standing under the soul guide lamp.

It is the intersection of light and shadow, and also like the overlap of two times and spaces.

Beibei, completely unaware of this, smiled mischievously and said, "So it turns out that Xixuan likes older women, unlike that turtle who only talks the talk. He usually criticizes Xiaotao's figure in private, but when they actually meet, he avoids her like the plague."

"Ah, thinking about life in the Foreign Languages ​​Department in the future is getting more and more interesting. Judging from the age, Xi Xuan should be three years behind us when she enters the department..."

Shrek City is very large, and it took Ye Xixuan almost half an hour to carry Tang Ya from the east gate to the north gate. With his current physical strength, he didn't feel tired, and he kept thinking about some things along the way.

If there's anything within Tang Ya that could trigger a tremor in his martial soul, it could only be the Dark Blue Silver Grass's special talent for devouring life force. However, because Tang Ya's talent hasn't been fully activated, the feeling of his innate ability, the Heart Demon Mark, isn't very strong.

However, besides Tang Ya, there was another person in Shrek Academy whom he could test: Ma Xiaotao, who possessed the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul. If Ye Xixuan's feeling about his talent was correct, the Fire Phoenix Saintess and Blue Silver Saintess of the Holy Spirit Cult from his past life's memories would never appear again.

If he had the ability, he would certainly be willing to help Tang Ya and Ma Xiaotao resolve the hidden dangers in their martial souls.

As one of the most prosperous cities in the central part of Douluo Continent, Shrek City remains lively at night.

As soon as Ye Xixuan entered the city, he felt enveloped by the bustling crowds and various noises, with dense crowds stretching as far as the eye could see.

"Where is this?" Tang Ya woke up groggily on Ye Xixuan's back, rubbing her slightly reddened eyes.

Without turning around, Ye Xixuan had already sensed that Tang Ya had woken up. His senses became more acute at night, which was probably related to his martial soul.

"Sister Xiaoya, we are inside Shrek City."

"Xi Xuan, thank you. Without you, I would be all alone again." Tang Ya gradually came back to her senses, seemingly ignoring the noisy environment around her. She stretched out her jade-like arms and tightly wrapped them around Ye Xi Xuan's neck, burying her face deeply in his soft hair, and choked out a sad sob.

Is there still a place for me in this world?

"Of course, Sister Xiaoya. You can rebuild the Tang Sect with your own abilities; you don't necessarily need the academy's help. Besides, as I said, I will help you no matter what," Ye Xixuan comforted her gently.

"Why don't we start by getting into the foreign language department? We're all still young, and who knows what the future holds?"

"You're so clever for your age, you've already learned to comfort your older sister." Tang Ya gave a cute snort, but she was inwardly greatly encouraged. Ye Xixuan was younger than her and understood these principles, so how could she give up so easily?

"But you're right, I must stay and use my abilities to rebuild the Tang Clan and restore its former glory!"

"Put me down."

Just as Ye Xixuan was about to say something more, Tang Ya jumped off Ye Xixuan's back, picked him up, and pressed Ye Xixuan's cheek tightly against her chest, hearing his warm and soft voice in her ear.

"Xi Xuan, thank you."

"Mmm." Ye Xixuan smiled slightly and reached out to hug Tang Ya as well. Their skin rubbed against each other, feeling each other's warmth.

They were both wanderers in the same world, yet they became each other's support, right here in the bustling Shrek City.
