Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 47 The Three Scoundrels are Executed

After leaving the Soto Arena, Ye Liangchen and Zhu Zhuqing headed towards the street near the Rose Hotel.

"Brother Chen, you're amazing! We haven't lost a single bet today."

Zhu Zhuqing's face was beaming with a sweet smile, and she was in a very good mood. This time, Ye Liangchen directly gave her 8 gold soul coins. If she found a place to live in seclusion and lived frugally, it would be enough for her to live on for the rest of her life.

When she escaped from the Zhu family, she only had a few hundred gold soul coins with her, which were given to her by her aunt. Ever since she met Ye Liangchen, her life has taken off.

"Zhu Qing, money is just an external thing, don't worry about it too much. As Soul Masters, improving our cultivation is the most important thing."

Ye Liangchen won all the money today by cheating, and he didn't care much about this kind of windfall.

"I understand, Brother Chen, let's go quickly."

Looking at Ye Liangchen's nonchalant demeanor, Zhu Zhuqing knew that he didn't care about money and was only trying to make money for her today. Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She took Ye Liangchen's hand and walked forward.

It was getting late, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets. The streetlights on both sides of the street emitted a faint light, illuminating the streets.

"Ah...! Help..."

Just as Ye Liangchen and Zhu Zhuqing entered a street, a woman's cry for help suddenly came from an alley ahead, but the sound quickly disappeared.

"Brother Chen, that woman's voice sounds like it came from Xiao Rou, a staff member at the Soul Arena."

Zhu Zhuqing has excellent hearing and immediately recognized the voice, after all, she had met that beautiful staff member earlier that day.

"Let's go, let's go save her."

Ye Liangchen quickly led Zhu Zhuqing towards the alley. He spread his divine sense and soon found three figures in a corner, where the beautiful female staff member was already unconscious.

"Zhuqing, over there."

Ye Liangchen sped off according to the direction he sensed with his divine sense, with Zhu Zhuqing following closely behind.

Half a minute later, the two rushed into a dead end and found three lewd men who were about to tear off Xiaorou's clothes.

"Let her go."

Zhu Zhuqing let out a shout, immediately activated her martial spirit, and charged forward.

"Hehehehe...! I didn't expect such a stunning beauty to show up."

"No, Tianya, that's a cat-eared girl! She's gorgeous!"

"Huh! Why is there another man here?"

"Old Goose, Tianya, that man is also a Soul Master. Kill him, I'll go deal with the cat-eared girl."

These three are the three scoundrels of Soto City: Bu Le, Tian Ya, and E Kao. All three are Soul Masters. Bu Le's Soul Power has reached level 46, and his Martial Soul is a pair of strange pink covers. Tian Ya's Martial Soul is a kitchen knife, and his Soul Power is as high as level 51. E Kao's Martial Soul is a strange goose, and he has also reached the level of Soul Master.

The three men frequently committed petty theft, kidnapped innocent women, and did all sorts of evil deeds in Soto City, earning them the nickname "The Three Scoundrels of Soto City."

Bu Le had a long, thin face, like a skull, with green light emanating from his eyes, making him incredibly lewd. The other man, E Kao, was even uglier, with a rooster's head and eyes like swollen bubbles. Each one was more lewd than the other. The other man, a short man wearing a hat, was relatively normal, but his eyes also gleamed with green light.

At this moment, the three of them had already been possessed by their martial spirits. Among them, Tianya had five spirit rings flashing on his body, one white, one yellow, and three purple. He was holding a kitchen knife with a green blade.

After the Goose Test Spirit was attached to his body, his arms grew covered in goose feathers, his beak became a goose's beak, and there were many swollen blisters around his eyes. In addition, he had a rooster comb on his head, making him look like a lion-headed goose. His spirit rings were also white, yellow, and purple. Bu Le had a pair of pink covers on his head, like some kind of item used by women, and his spirit rings were the same as Goose Test's.

At this moment, Tianya and Ekao walked over to Ye Liangchen, while Bule rushed towards Zhu Zhuqing.

"Hehehe...! Kid, you've interrupted our good time, go to hell!"

When Tianya and E'kao saw that Ye Liangchen hadn't even activated his martial spirit, they thought that this guy must be scared out of his wits.

"Little kitty! Big brother's here."

Upon seeing Zhu Zhuqing's cat-eared appearance, Bu Le felt a surge of heat rush to his head. His beady eyes glowed green, and drool dripped from the corners of his mouth, like a wolf encountering a lamb.

"Zhuqing, be careful."

When Ye Liangchen saw that Tianya, who was holding a kitchen knife, was actually a Soul King, he decided not to fight anymore. If they fought, it would alert the patrol soldiers.

So he instantly pulled out the HK416, the king of PUBG, and fired at the opponent with lightning speed.

The King of Chicken Dinner's safety was always on, and Ye Liangchen's shooting skills were becoming more and more exquisite. He completed a double kill in a second. At such a fast speed, Tianya and Ekao didn't even have time to react before they were hit.

After dealing with the two guys, Ye Liangchen quickly put away the King of Chicken and took out a long sword to show off.

"Pfft... Pfft..."

"Ah ah..."

Two soft sounds were heard, and Tianya and Lao'e collapsed instantly, with a large hole in their hearts, dying immediately.

The sudden turn of events also startled Bu Le, who was preparing to take action against Zhu Zhuqing.

"Old Goose...Tianya..."

Upon seeing his two companions collapse, Bu Le was immediately alarmed and rushed over to check on them.

"Kid, you're asking for it."

Unhappy to see his two companions lifeless, he stared intently at Ye Liangchen with his beady eyes, roared furiously, and launched a soul skill to attack Ye Liangchen.

"Death looms."

"Swish..."

Ye Liangchen used the Five Elements Bewildering Steps to evade Bu Le's first soul skill attack.

"Zhuqing, hurry and save Xiaorou!"

"Okay, Brother Chen."

Ye Liangchen shouted to Zhu Zhuqing, then summoned the Chun Jun Sword, and using the Five Elements Bewildering Steps, charged towards Bu Le.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Ye Liangchen suddenly attacked, making Bu Le feel the danger, and he immediately took a few steps back.

"Double Net of Heaven"

A pair of enormous pink domes pressed down on Ye Liangchen, emanating a pink mist that carried a bewitching aura, while the true form of Bu Le was hidden within the mist.

The Heavenly Net Double Shield Soul Skill is an illusion-type skill that can confuse opponents.

"Hehehehe...! Kid, you're dead now that you've been hit by my Heavenly Net Double Shield Soul Skill. I'm going to avenge my two companions and also have a good time with that cat-eared girl."

In the mist, Bu Le's lewd voice rang out, as if he felt victory was already in his grasp.

"Whoosh..."

"The Divine Light that Dispels Illusion".

Ye Liangchen's eyes shot out a golden light, instantly breaking through Bu Le's Heavenly Net Double Shield.

"Click..."

The two enormous domes shattered instantly, and the pink mist vanished.

"What?" Bu Le was startled when his soul skill was broken and he kept backing away.

"Sky-Splitting Cross Slash".

Ye Liangchen activated his left arm soul bone to test the power of this 100,000-year-old soul bone. He had been absorbing this soul bone for so long but had never tested it before, and he had almost forgotten about it.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Ye Liangchen unleashed several cross-shaped blades from his left arm, carrying immense power, as he slashed towards Bu Le.

"Bang bang..."

"Ah...no..."

Faced with a strike from a 100,000-year-old soul bone, Bu Le's level 46 soul power was simply no match for it, and he was directly cut into several pieces.

"Brother Chen..."

Zhu Zhuqing, who was in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Bu Le beheaded.

Upon arriving at Zhu Zhuqing's side, Ye Liangchen found that Xiao Rou was still unconscious. So he reached out and injected soul power into several acupoints on her body. After a while, Xiao Rou slowly woke up.

"Ah! You guys saved me."

Xiao Rou found herself lying in Zhu Zhuqing's arms, and then saw three men's corpses in the distance, and immediately understood.

"Let's leave quickly, the patrol will be here soon."

Ye Liangchen gave Xiaorou a Soul Power Pill to replenish her strength. What had happened earlier had almost terrified her, and she was currently feeling completely weak.

The two of them quickly left the alley with Xiao Rou. Just ten minutes after they left, some nearby residents brought a patrol team to the alley and found three bodies, one of which was broken into several pieces.

"Hey! Aren't these the three scoundrels our captain has been looking for for days? I can't believe those three bastards were actually killed."

"I wonder which hero made the move? It certainly saved our patrol team a lot of trouble."

A group of patrolmen quickly took out bags and put the bodies of the three scoundrels into them. Their movements were very skilled, and it was clear that they had done this kind of work often.

……

After leaving the alley, Xiao Rou respectfully bowed to Ye Liangchen and Zhu Zhuqing, saying, "Thank you for saving us, benefactors and young lady."

"You're welcome. Where do you live? We'll take you home."

It was late at night, and Ye Liangchen and Zhu Zhuqing were worried about leaving the woman walking alone on the street, so they took her home.

"Thank you. My name is Xiaorou, and I live on 9th Street..."

Xiao Rou introduced her residence to the two men, thinking how lucky she was that she would have been today. If it weren't for these two benefactors, she might have been violated by the three scoundrels of the Hedgehog's Den, and her life might have been in danger.

"Xiaorou, you mustn't tell anyone that we got rid of those three villains. Remember to keep it a secret for us."

Ye Liangchen gave the other party a few words of advice, after all, the Three Scoundrels were dead, and the patrolmen of Soto City would find out sooner or later.

"Don't worry, my benefactor! Xiao Rou won't tell anyone."

"Those three look like the sleazy scoundrels that Manager Ao mentioned. They often do petty theft, kidnap innocent women, and commit all sorts of evil deeds. They are notorious. By eliminating them, our benefactor has rid the people of a scourge."

Xiao Rou also told the two about the three scoundrels' crimes, which made Zhu Zhuqing very angry.

"Why don't the soldiers arrest such wicked people?"

Xiao Rou shook her head: "They are all Soul Masters. They hide during the day and come out at night, making it very difficult for the soldiers to find them."

After walking around for half an hour, the three of them finally arrived at 9th Street. The houses here were not very luxurious. Xiao Rou lived in a two-story building, and it was a rented place.

She herself came from a small village on the outskirts of Soto. To make it easier for her to work, she rented a small building on this street. Once she had saved enough money, she planned to buy a luxury house in the center of Soto.

Xiao Rou told Ye Liangchen and Zhu Zhuqing about her dream, a sunny smile on her face.

"I wish you all the best in achieving your dreams! We're leaving now."

"Please come to my house with your help, so that I can express my gratitude."

"No need, just be careful in the future."

Ye Liangchen and Zhu Zhuqing safely escorted the woman home, said goodbye to Xiaorou, and returned directly to the Rose Hotel.

Watching Ye Liangchen and Zhu Zhuqing disappear at the end of the street, Xiao Rou bowed in the direction they left.

"My benefactor, the ten thousand gold soul coins you bestowed have made Xiaorou's dream come true. Xiaorou has no way to repay you. May you and that young lady live a peaceful life and be forever united in heart."

Ye Liangchen never expected that upon arriving in this strange world, he would encounter a girl struggling to buy a house. It also reminded him of the young people on his previous life's planet Earth who worked hard to buy houses. It was truly amazing.

"Brother Chen, Xiaorou's dream is just to own a luxury house. What's your dream?"

Zhu Zhuqing tilted her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ye Liangchen, and asked curiously.

"My dream is to stand at the top of this world, and then change the world, to create a world where ordinary people can live with dignity."

Ye Liangchen looked into the distance, exuding an aura of dominance that stunned the kitten beside him. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration, and at that moment, she felt that the young man before her was incredibly tall and imposing.

"Brother Chen, your dream is truly great. I believe you can achieve it."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't know why, but she felt that the boy in front of her could definitely do it.

"Hehe! Kitten, I was just bragging, and you actually believed me?"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing, who had become a little fangirl, Ye Liangchen was speechless. This girl had completely fallen for him.

"Brother Chen, my woman's intuition tells me that you can definitely do it."

"What woman? You're just a girl right now."

"Brother Chen, you're so mean! You're just a boy too!"

The two chatted happily as they made their way towards the Rose Hotel, leaving behind two beautiful shadows in the dim light.
