Douluo Continent: Saving Zhang Lexuan at the Start

The wind in June is relatively gentle, unlike in July, when even a slight breeze can feel scorching.

Ye Ying got up early because he needed to hunt for Zhang Lexuan's fourth spirit ring.

The Soul Guidance Department had already requested leave in advance, but when Ye Ying went to Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo's office, she could still sense a faint malice.

Clearly, he still harbored some resentment towards Ye Ying for "corrupting" the atmosphere of the Soul Guidance Department and "wasting" a lot of rare metals.

At first, Ye Ying was a little worried that Dean Qian might make things difficult for him, but after Xian Lin'er explained a little, everything was fine.

In Xian Lin'er's words, Qian Duoduo was swindled out of soul tools worth at least two million gold soul coins by Yan Shaozhe every year, so that little bit of rare metal was nothing at all.

Unlike the novels Ye Ying had read in her previous life, where time was frozen in the storage ring.

The storage soul tools in Douluo Continent are not like that; they will eventually fail!

Ye Ying, who got up early, took out the leftover Tianyun beef tenderloin and Huoyun pork from yesterday evening.

Using the prepared flatbread, I made a simple roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), and then used my soul power to heat it slightly.

A familiar presence appeared behind him, and Zhang Lexuan gently rested her chin on Ye Ying's shoulder.

Although Zhang Lexuan was a head taller than Ye Ying, it didn't stop her from showing her well-behaved, girlish side in front of Ye Ying.

With a slight twitch of her nose, Zhang Lexuan took the simple roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) that Ye Ying handed her and said softly, "Thank you, Brother Ying!"

After a quick breakfast, the two left Shrek Academy and headed towards Shrek City.

Shrek City is very close to Shrek Academy; it's only a half-hour walk, and the two of them arrived at the east gate of Shrek City.

Before the East Gate, a carriage bearing the Ye family crest immediately caught their attention.

A young man stood in front of the carriage, leaning against it with his eyes slightly narrowed. He looked to be no more than twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, but his face was angular and quite handsome.

Ye Ying waved to the young man, then called out, "Uncle!"

Upon hearing Ye Ying's voice, the young man immediately opened his eyes, a smile involuntarily appearing on his lips. "Oh, isn't this our Crown Prince? When did he become so disheveled?"

Ye Yingzhen didn't know what to say to her uncle, whose expression was so exaggerated.

Holding hands with Ye Ying, Zhang Lexuan looked thoughtful, as if pondering why her partner had such a nickname.

As Ye Ying's somewhat conscientious uncle's voice rang out, three young men who looked almost exactly like him jumped out of the carriage.

The one who seemed more composed, who was laughing so hard he was doubled over, kicked his uncle out.

The Ye family values ​​self-cultivation, and even the patriarch Ye Zhenting often said, "A gentleman uses words, not fists."

The four men in front of you are all Ye Ying's cousins, and the sons of Ye Zhenlin, the second younger brother of Ye Zhenting.

Without a doubt, the quadruplets, from oldest to youngest, are Ye Qiufeng, Ye Qiuyun, Ye Qiuyu, and Ye Qiulei, who just teased Ye Ying.

The one who kicked Ye Qiulei was naturally Ye Qiufeng, the gang leader, who was planning to teach Ye Qiulei a lesson. "Lei, I know you. You're asking for a beating, aren't you? Let me teach you a lesson!"

Ye Qiulei's lips twitched, and he immediately cursed, "Boss, you better get the hell out of here, we're not even sure who'll beat whom!"

The second brother, Ye Qiuyun, and the third brother, Ye Qiuyu, exchanged a glance. Each of them blocked one of them, and the eldest brother and the fourth brother, who had been making a ruckus, immediately wilted.

Of the four brothers, the eldest, Ye Qiufeng, appears calm and collected, but is actually quite unconventional.

The fourth brother, Ye Qiulei, didn't even bother to hide it for a moment; he was just being cheeky!

The remaining second and third children are usually very peaceful. When they stay at home, they do nothing more than eat, sleep, and play games.

Ye Qiuyun, Ye Ying's fourth uncle, frowned and said in a low voice, "Old Feng, Little Lei, watch your manners. If you corrupt Ying'er, your uncle will personally deal with you!"

Ye Zhenting's name was particularly effective in front of Ye Ying's third and youngest uncles, since Ye Qiufeng's habit of kicking people was something he learned from Ye Zhenting.

When the four uncles came to their senses, Ye Ying sighed softly, "I said, why are you four old men here?"

Ye Qiuyun, who was truly calm and composed, patiently explained to Ye Ying, "My third uncle can't leave Shrek City, and going to the Star Dou Great Forest would easily provoke those powerful soul beasts, so he asked us to go with you to hunt soul beasts."

Ye Zhenfeng had considered this from the beginning: a Super Douluo like him going to the mixed zone, or even the core zone, would easily encounter some sensitive ferocious beasts.

If he gets entangled with a ferocious beast, he has a way to escape, but he can't guarantee the safety of Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan.

So Ye Zhenfeng had no choice but to call over Fengyun Yulei, who was idle at home.

Ye Ying understood Ye Zhenfeng's meaning, and led by her four cousins, they arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest around noon.

Without lingering, the group hastily ate some dry rations and then entered the Star Dou Great Forest.

Although it is called the Soul Beast Forest, it is still the most dangerous place in the Douluo Continent.

However, there weren't many hundred-year-old soul beasts around; the group only encountered some ten-year-old soul beasts, and even wild animals.

"The eastern part of the Star Dou Great Forest is truly inferior to the western part; the quality of the soul beasts there is significantly lower!"

Ye Qiulei, who was clearing the way ahead, made a complaint, which earned him a warning look from Ye Qiuyu next to him.

Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan happened to see this scene. Ye Ying was fine, as she had been used to her four somewhat abnormal uncles since she was a child.

Zhang Lexuan chuckled, her laughter attracting Ye Qiufeng's attention. "Hey, little Lexuan, have you thought of something fun?"

"No, I just think you and Uncle Yao are quite funny."

Ye Ying was utterly unceremonious towards his third uncle, which led to Ye Qiufeng getting caught up in the gossip himself.

Ye Qiufeng was immediately put on the defensive, secretly thinking to himself: You little thief, just you wait, sooner or later I'll let you know how powerful your third uncle is!

Ye Ying, who had confronted Ye Qiufeng, had no idea that she had already been put on her uncle's blacklist.

Of course, even if they knew, they wouldn't care. Relying on Ye Laosan is pointless; they should just go to sleep.

But Ye Ying didn't expect that the gentle voice beside him would immediately break his defenses. "Brother Ying, tell me, why does Uncle Lei call you Crown Prince?"

Zhang Lexuan's words immediately froze Ye Ying's face. She then pleaded with Zhang Lexuan, "Sister Xuanxuan, about this matter..."

"There's no need to mention how inconvenient it is."

Fortunately, Zhang Lexuan didn't take it seriously, otherwise Ye Ying would have been really embarrassed.
