Douluo Continent: Saving Zhang Lexuan at the Start

Chapter 101 May you live to be a hundred years old

The system's voice went unnoticed by Ye Ying, who was focused on absorbing the soul rings. The Thousand Forging Technique only appeared in his mind as a memory.

A series of silvery-white moonlight bloomed, and the Moon Soul Bow hung in front of Ye Ying, with a black soul ring attached to it.

The soul ring absorption went smoothly, but unfortunately, after a year, some of the soul power in the soul ring was lost.

The 24,000-year-old soul ring should have allowed Ye Ying to directly reach level 43, but in reality, he only barely reached level 42.

After absorbing the spirit ring, Ye Ying quickly put away his martial spirit, casually stretched, and a series of snapping sounds rang out. "Finally, I've reached the Soul Master level. Hmm, the Thousand Refinement Technique seems quite interesting."

However, Ye Ying didn't have time to worry about that now, since he had almost used up all the rare metals he had and hadn't had time to replenish them.

Ye Ying put away her martial spirit, and the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Zhang Lexuan smiling.

"Level 42, I feel like you're almost catching up to me, Ying-ge."

Zhang Lexuan rubbed Ye Ying's head. To be honest, it felt pretty good, at least in Zhang Lexuan's mind.

Somewhat helplessly, Ye Ying grabbed Zhang Lexuan's mischievous hand. "Alright, Sister Xuanxuan, we've been at the Body Sect for a year now. It's time to go back."

"Whatever you say, but how about we go to my place first this time?"

Zhang Lexuan gently bit her rosy lips, feeling a little nervous, afraid that Ye Ying would disagree.

But to her surprise, Ye Ying gently stroked her soft hand and said in a gentle voice, "Of course, I haven't seen Grandpa Zhang and Uncle Zhang for a long time either. As their son-in-law, I should pay them a visit, shouldn't I?"

"Ahem!"

A familiar voice sent a chill down Ye Ying's spine, and a fawning smile appeared on her face. "Oh dear, Master, what brings you to this remote corner?"

The person who came was none other than Du Bu Si. As the head of a sect, he had many things to do, but he was still able to set aside a week each month to teach and test Ye Ying.

And it was precisely at these times that Ye Ying was at her most heartbroken.

Those in the Body Sect who understand this know that a powerful martial soul requires a lot of tempering, and Ye Ying has also suffered a lot during this year.

Poison Undying was already somewhat regretting taking Ye Ying as his disciple. Back then, how could his iron-willed brother Ye Luotian have such a descendant? His talent was indeed top-notch on the continent, but how could he be so shrewd at such a young age? Even Poison Undying was so angry at Ye Ying that his liver ached.

"Alright, stop joking. I won't stop you from going down the mountain, since there's not much else to learn in the sect. But don't try to renege on your promise about those soul tools that hold soul rings, or I can drag you out of the Sea God Pavilion!"

Ye Ying gently pushed away Du Busi's fist, saying repeatedly, "No problem, no problem. Master, it's getting late, so Sister Xuanxuan and I will head back now."

"Come on, come on, if I take you as my apprentice, I'll lose ten years of my life!"

"No way, you'll live to be a hundred!"

As soon as Ye Ying finished speaking, he realized he had let something slip. He grabbed Zhang Lexuan's soft waist and, amidst her soft gasps, used his second soul skill to run out of the ley line cave.

Before Ye Ying could run fifty meters, Du Bu Si's voice rang out, "Get lost!"

In no time, the voice of "Poison Never Dies" resounded throughout the entire Body Sect.

Whether it was the elders or the disciples, they all turned a blind eye. At first, it was just something new, but a year has passed, and nobody cares anymore. It must be that the sect leader's precious disciple has angered him again.

The night passed quietly. Some people slept soundly, while others were so angry that they couldn't sleep all night!

Before dawn, Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan had already washed and gotten up. After passing through the treacherous eighteen heavenly gates of the Body Sect, they finally arrived at the small village at the foot of the mountain, which was used to receive guests.

A year has passed, and Uncle Zuo, who was on duty here when Ye Ying came, has already been ordered to return.

The person on duty here is Lei Ling, the second disciple of the Body Sect whom Ye Ying met after arriving at the Body Sect.

Lei Ling was originally at the peak of the Soul King realm. Not long after Ye Ying arrived, he broke through to become the Soul Emperor and took over Uncle Zuo's post here.

"Junior Brother Ye, are you going home with your wife?"

When Ye Ying went up the mountain, Lei Ling knew that he couldn't stay in the Body Sect forever.

After all, someone who could have four Soul Saint level experts at the age of thirty as bodyguards must be no ordinary person.

Lei Ling glanced outside, seemingly unintentionally, and there came Ye Ying's four cousins ​​to pick him up.

Ye Ying nodded and smiled, "That's right. I'll definitely come again when I have the chance. I'll bring Brother Lei some of the Snow Moon Flower Wine from home then."

"That would be wonderful! I wish you a safe journey too!"

After waving goodbye to Lei Ling, Ye Ying boarded the carriage brought by her four uncles and slowly left this secluded place.

The carriage was too slow. The reason for using a carriage was because the environment in the Body Sect was too harsh, and they were afraid that Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan would freeze.

After leaving this place, led by their cousin Ye Qiuyun, the group changed into flying soul tools and arrived at Tianyue City, where the Zhang family lived, in just two days.

Tianyue City is a large city in the Tianhun Empire. Apart from the city's defense forces, everything else is controlled by the Zhang family, which has only been around for five hundred years.

Because of the presence of a titled Douluo, the Heavenly Soul Empire turned a blind eye to these matters and never interfered.

In addition, the Zhang family members are also nobles, and hold the highest rank of duke.

As the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, Zhang Lexuan's return to Tianyue City was immediately known to the Zhang family's spies.

When Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan arrived hand in hand at the gate of the Zhang residence, their father, Zhang Yanxin, was already there with his mother to greet them.

Having not seen her father for so long, Zhang Lexuan also missed him.

Sensing all this, Ye Ying took the initiative to release her hand and gently patted the back of her hand a few times.

Then, Zhang Lexuan embraced her father, Zhang Yanxin, like a swallow throwing itself into its mother's arms.

Zhang Yanxin also missed his daughter. He hugged his now-grown daughter and jokingly said, "Alright, stop hugging Daddy, or Ying'er will get jealous."

Zhang's mother gently patted Zhang's father, then carefully examined Ye Ying. The fact that the Soul Sect's soul power hadn't escaped her notice, despite her Soul Saint cultivation level, pleased her greatly.

It's just like that saying goes, a mother-in-law is finding her son-in-law more and more pleasing to the eye.

In Zhang's mother's eyes, Ye Yingzhen was a perfect match for her daughter, both in terms of family background and talent.

"Alright, let's not stay outside any longer, let's talk about it when we get home!"

After Zhang Yanxin spoke, the group entered the Zhang residence. Everyone in the Zhang family was overjoyed to learn of their eldest daughter's return.
