Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 317 Poseidon Takes in Another Maid

After being lectured by Sword Douluo, Xue Beng felt disgusted, as if he had eaten shit. He thought to himself: "I, the Crown Prince, only talked about taking the throne. Do you really think I would be so stubborn as to start a war with Ice God Island?"

"No matter how difficult it is, I will avenge my father, even if it means death, I will have no regrets."

Now that Emperor Xueye is dead, Xue Beng, as the crown prince, naturally becomes the rightful heir to the throne. He knows he cannot avenge the royal family, but he still has to show a defiant attitude in order to gain the support of the nobles.

"Your Highness's courage is commendable."

Most of the people present were high-ranking figures from their respective factions, and they understood that the Heavenly Dou Empire could not avenge Emperor Xue Ye. As the heir to the throne of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Crown Prince Xue Beng could only express his opinion in this way.

As the saying goes, life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills.

"Prince Xuexing, all sixteen high-level Soul Masters who were in charge of the Tiandou Auction House have been killed. You should stop auctioning slaves now, otherwise, one day they might take a dislike to you and wipe out the entire royal family."

Ning Fengzhi felt extremely embarrassed when he recalled the scene of being teased by that young man in the auction hall. So he reminded Prince Xuexing that if Tiandou Auction House dared to auction slaves again, they would definitely be attacked again.

"There used to be a manager at Tiandou Auction House named Ma Rulong who refused to associate with the auction house. Now he's come to our Tenglong Pavilion. He certainly has good taste."

"Ma Rulong was lucky. If he had stayed at the Tiandou Auction House, he would have died at the hands of that powerful person along with those people."

Dugu Bo and Shui Lanxin recalled Ma Rulong joining Tenglong Pavilion and felt fortunate for him.

"People with a conscience will always be rewarded. As the saying goes, it's not that they won't be punished, it's just that the time hasn't come yet. When the time comes, they will be fully reimbursed."

"Yes! Yes! I clearly remember that there were 3 Soul Saints, 3 Soul Emperors and 10 Soul Kings watching over the Heaven Dou Auction House. Young Master Ye warned you once before, but you didn't listen. Now you've encountered an even more ruthless expert and were instantly killed in one move."

"Sixteen high-level Soul Masters were wiped out in an instant. Such a loss is simply too great."

Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Salas, and the others chimed in, their words full of teasing.

"Your Excellencies are right to teach us a lesson. The Heavenly Dou Auction House will never auction slaves again."

After being ridiculed by Shui Lanxin and the others, Xue Xing and Xue Beng felt disgusted, as if they had eaten shit. However, these powerful people were all titled Douluo, so the uncle and nephew did not dare to say anything. They could only say that they would definitely change. However, the two of them were thinking in their hearts: they could not openly auction off slaves anymore. If they wanted to sell them, they could only do so secretly.

The funeral of Emperor Xueye was still in progress, while the instigators Ye Liangchen and Poseidon had already leisurely arrived at the edge of Sunset Forest.

The three beast-eared girls rescued by Ye Liangchen also followed the two closely. The cat girl was named Xiaoli, the rabbit girl was named Xiaoling, and the leopard girl was named Xiaoyun. The three girls were two years younger than Ye Liangchen, had no soul power, and their families were killed by people from the Tiandou Auction House, which is why they were captured and auctioned as slaves. When they were rescued by Poseidon, the three girls decided to follow her for life.

Now that they had seen Ye Liangchen and Poseidon's true colors, the three little girls immediately and willingly acknowledged the two as their masters, willing to serve as their servants. They felt that following such handsome masters was a thousand times better than those corrupt nobles of the empire.

"Young master, could this be Sunset Forest, one of the three great soul beast forests?"

Looking at the boundless forest before her, Xiao Li asked Ye Liangchen curiously.

"Indeed, this is Sunset Forest, one of the three great soul beast forests. It contains many powerful high-level soul beasts, and its terror level is second only to Star Dou Great Forest."

Ye Liangchen introduced the Sunset Forest to the three girls, broadening their horizons.

"That's terrifying!"

After hearing how terrifying Sunset Forest was, Xiaoling and Xiaoyun patted their chests, feeling frightened.

"If you're scared, let Xiao Chen put you into the soul tool!" Poseidon said with a smile as he looked at the three little girls.

"My lord, we'd like to go take a look. Please don't let the young master put us into the soul tool yet, okay?"

The three little girls looked at Poseidon pitifully, thinking: "Surely the two gentlemen will protect us?"

"Don't worry! With us here, you won't be harmed. However, you can only go to the area of ​​thousand-year soul beasts. Once you enter the area of ​​ten-thousand-year soul beasts, I will have to put you into soul tools. Otherwise, if we fight those powerful ten-thousand-year soul beasts, we won't be able to protect you."

Ye Liangchen told the three girls not to worry, as the saying goes, "If you're going to help someone, help them to the end."

"Thank you, young master. Thank you, sir."

When the three little girls saw that Ye Liangchen was willing to take them into the Sunset Forest, they immediately skipped and jumped to follow him, ready to experience this adventure.

After entering the forest, Ye Liangchen did not forget to gather spiritual herbs, and from time to time he caught some pheasants and rabbits to make delicious roasted pheasants and rabbits, so that everyone could enjoy a good meal.

The three little girls also helped out, happily circling around Ye Liangchen, very happy.

Sunset Forest is rich in resources, with all kinds of wild game available. In addition, Ye Liangchen and Poseidon are powerful and pose no threat whatsoever. Such a life is simply a pleasure.

"Xiao Chen, I want these three girls to become Soul Masters. Can you help them?"

That day, the group arrived at a small lake and planned to spend the night there. Poseidon sat by the lake, watching the three little girls playing happily in the water not far away. She felt that without soul power, it would be too difficult for them to survive in this world.

"Sister Bobo, these three little girls are now your maids, so of course they need to be capable."

"Once we get to Seagod Island, I will use Soul Power Pills to help them gain soul power. After that, you will have to teach them cultivation yourself."

Ye Liangchen certainly couldn't let the three beast-eared girls be like this, without any ability to protect themselves. They would only be three pretty vases, which wouldn't be good.

"I don't have much to do right now, so teaching the three girls cultivation can help pass the time."

Poseidon felt that he would feel a sense of accomplishment if he could raise these three little girls to be successful.

"Sister Bobo, it feels like you've taken in three adorable little apprentices instead of maids."

Ye Liangchen found the three beast-eared girls very pleasing to the eye.

"Just like Yali back then, although she was my maid, she was almost like my apprentice."

Poseidon smiled sweetly, enjoying the company of three beautiful beast-eared maids.

"Splash... splash..."

Just then, a wave suddenly rose in the lake, and two three-meter-long garfish lunged at the three little girls.

"ah…!"

The three little girls screamed in fright and scrambled backward.

"Whoosh..."

"Frost Palm".

Ye Liangchen flashed to the three girls' side, instantly activating his ice elemental power. He slapped the lake surface with his palm, and in an instant, the entire lake surface within a radius of several dozen meters froze into ice. The two large fish were also instantly frozen and unable to move.

"Young master is so amazing!"

The three little girls watched as Ye Liangchen froze the two big fish with a single move, their eyes sparkling with admiration.

"Impressive, isn't it! I'll teach you cultivation from now on, so you can become powerful Soul Masters."

Poseidon came to the three little girls and painted a big picture of a pie in the sky for them.

"Sir, is this true?"

The three little girls were incredibly excited upon hearing this. If they could become powerful Soul Masters, they could live freely without worrying about being captured by those nobles.

"It's true. After that, I'll have Xiao Chen help you gain soul power, and then you can cultivate with me." Poseidon smiled sweetly.

"Thank you, sir."

"You and the young master are so kind. We have no way to repay you and are willing to serve you and the young master for all eternity."

The three little girls felt as if a pie had fallen from the sky and hit them, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Poseidon.

"Alright, get up! You only need to serve me, you don't need to serve him."

Poseidon chuckled as he helped the three little girls up, thinking to himself: This little guy is surrounded by beauties, why would he need you to serve him? And it's not your turn anyway.

"Yes, sir!"

The three young maids understood that this stunning beauty must also like the young master, so they shouldn't let their imaginations run wild and should just obediently serve as maids!

Seeing that the two large fish had frozen to death, Ye Liangchen threw them directly onto the shore.

"Click..."

"Buzzing..."

Then the ice block was shattered, and a purple light rose up. Two purple soul rings then rose from the body of the garfish with demonic patterns.

"Your ice-type skill is very powerful. It actually froze a soul beast that was over three thousand years old to death. Moreover, these two garfish with magic patterns are water-attribute soul beasts."

Poseidon watched Ye Liangchen's amazing operation with great admiration. He could unleash such a powerful skill without using a martial soul, soul ring, or soul bone. It was practically a divine skill.

"This is the skill of Extreme Ice. You can also learn this skill. With your level 99 soul power, using this skill will be just like a divine skill."

Ye Liangchen felt that Poseidon was indeed very suitable to learn this skill, and it would be even more powerful if she used the Frost Palm on the sea.

"How should I learn? I don't have any control over the power of ice elements."

Poseidon had long wanted to learn Ye Liangchen's skill, which didn't require martial souls or soul rings, and didn't even need soul bones—it was amazing.

"Afterwards, we'll go to a place where I'll have you refine the power of both extreme ice and extreme fire, making your body immune to both."

"Immunity to both ice and fire? I remember Bing'er and the others also had these two abilities. It seems you must have helped them obtain them."

"That's right! That's why Sister Bing'er and the others were able to withstand the pressure of the Sea God's Light with ease."

"It's settled then. You must help me obtain the power of these two elements."

Poseidon was also very interested in the power of ice and fire elements that Ye Liangchen had mentioned.

The three little girls listened quietly to the two adults, not understanding what they were saying, as if they were listening to gibberish.

"We're having grilled fish tonight. Little Tanuki, you three come and help us tidy up."

Ye Liangchen took out a long knife and began to cut the two large fish.

"Young master, this fish is too big; we can't possibly finish it."

Three little girls fetched clean water from the lake to help clean the fish. Looking at the two three-meter-long fish, they estimated that they must weigh at least two thousand kilograms.

"If you can't finish it all at once, save it and eat it slowly."

Ye Liangchen cooked a spicy boiled fish fillet meal for everyone. He cut the remaining fish meat into pieces, cleaned them, sprinkled them with some salt and seasonings, and then used the power of fire element to dry the fish pieces. After working for an hour, the two three-meter-long fish were transformed into delicious dried fish.

"Done."

"Buzzing..."

With a thought, Ye Liangchen put the delicious dried grilled fish into his game inventory space as provisions.

"Young master, is this acceptable?"

The three little girls were all incredibly surprised by Ye Liangchen's actions.

"Of course! This is incredibly delicious grilled fish, you can eat it anytime."

Ye Liangchen smiled calmly. Now that he was powerful, using fire elemental power to grill fish was a piece of cake.

"Pfft...! You don't look like a Soul Master at all!"

Seeing Ye Liangchen's face covered in oil and ash, making him look like a cat with a grime, Poseidon couldn't help but laugh.
