Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 117 Yue Xuan is in love, so what's wrong with giving up the stage to someone else!

"That little guy is most likely still alive." Perhaps because the atmosphere was too somber and deathly, Xuanzi spoke up.

"I sensed the aura of a 100,000-year soul ring. If I'm not mistaken, it should be from the 100,000-year soul beast that attacked you. Since the soul beast is dead, Ye Qing is likely still alive and is probably absorbing the soul ring and soul bone of that Blood Shadow Fox."

Still alive!

These three words illuminated Zhang Lexuan's lifeless heart, and her colorless eyes regained a little light, but she remained silent.

The others breathed a sigh of relief.

As their savior, Ye Qing was someone they all hoped would survive.

Not long after, Xuanzi stopped and looked at the figure sitting cross-legged in the blood-red pillar of light not far away, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thankfully, nothing serious happened!"

The others also noticed the commotion in the distance and saw the blood-red pillar of light, as well as the figure inside the pillar absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring.

Zhang Lexuan suddenly covered her red lips. Even though she was still hundreds of meters away from where Ye Qing was absorbing the soul ring, she was afraid that her sobs would disturb him. In her tearful eyes, there was only the relief of having regained what she had lost.

She could see nothing but Ye Qing's tall figure.

"Good lad, although I don't know how you killed that 100,000-year-old Blood Shadow Fox, your luck is truly enviable." Xuanzi sighed and began to seriously release his spiritual power, alerting himself to the surrounding movements.

He wasn't present when the conflict with the 100,000-year-old soul beast occurred. Now that Ye Qing has killed the 100,000-year-old soul beast and is absorbing the soul ring and soul bone, if something unexpected happens at this crucial moment, causing Ye Qing to be disturbed by other soul beasts and fail to absorb the soul ring and soul bone, he will be in trouble.

Xuanzi would probably be so ashamed and indignant that he would die.

On the other side, with Biji's prompting, Ye Qing also noticed the arrival of Xuanzi and his group.

"Thank goodness it's here, I was about to lose my composure." Ye Qing was speechless. In order to create the scene of absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring, Ye Qing not only had to ask Bi Ji to help release the pressure of soul power, but he also had to use his mental power to inject into the soul ring to simulate the blood-red pillar of light that shot into the sky outside his body.

That's really troublesome!

If Xuanzi doesn't come soon, he really won't be able to keep up the act anymore.

Now that Xuanzi has arrived, this show can begin to wrap up.

Under Ye Qing and Bi Ji's control, the crimson light pillar gradually faded, the soul power fluctuations also began to subside, and the 100,000-year soul ring released from his body naturally shrank back into his body.

Absorption complete!

Immediately afterwards, Ye Qing pretended to have just broken through, releasing the soul power aura that he had locked with his mental power and flawless golden body, creating the scene of a soul power breakthrough, climbing steadily to level 54 before stopping, and continuing to lock the soul power behind him.

After Ye Qing absorbed the soul ring, Zhang Lexuan flew over with tears in her eyes, throwing herself into Ye Qing's arms like a swallow throwing itself into his embrace, tightly hugging his waist, and sobbing softly.

The tears that kept flowing quickly soaked Ye Qing's clothes on her chest.

Faced with Zhang Lexuan's fragile and vulnerable appearance, Ye Qing could only hug her, one hand around her slender waist and the other gently stroking her long hair.

"Was this scene a bit too much for Zhang Lexuan?" Ye Qing thought helplessly to himself as he gently comforted the crying Zhang Lexuan.

Goodness, just looking at Zhang Lexuan now, the unique love-obsessed buff of Douluo Continent has probably been super enhanced on her. It's hard to believe that she didn't go overboard!

But to be fair, the way Ye Qing held Zhang Lexuan in his arms did give off a feeling of a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a perfect couple. Coupled with the previous scene of him rescuing a damsel in distress and their life-or-death separation, this atmosphere was truly infused with a sense of magic.

Mingjing, who was just trembling with fear because of the Blood Shadow Fox, is now directly swooning over Ye Qing and Zhang Lexuan's sweet moments, while the others watch with smiles on their faces.

They completely forgot that this was the Star Dou Great Forest, a place fraught with danger and teeming with soul beasts.

really.

Romance is the unchanging main theme of Douluo Continent. No matter when, as long as the word "romance" is mentioned, the style of the story will take a strange turn.

In their eyes, Ye Qing and Zhang Lexuan were a perfect example of lovers finally getting married. This kind of love that transcends life and death is something you can't miss!

"Alright, let's save our sweet talk for when we get back to the academy. We can't stay in the Star Dou Great Forest for long." Finally, it was Xuanzi who said the most unpleasant thing. Apart from Zhou Lu, who was still in an AFK state, all the other inner court disciples looked at Xuanzi speechlessly.

You weren't here just now. Now that we have a level 98 expert like you, what danger could there be in the Star Dou Great Forest?

What's wrong with giving the stage to others?

Zhang Lexuan realized that there were other people around, but she did not leave Ye Qing's embrace. More than the shyness of being teased by others, she was reluctant to part with the boy who had deeply entered her heart.

Faced with Xuanzi's utterly uncooperative behavior, Ye Qing showed no mercy, glaring at him with deadpan eyes: "So here's the question, Elder Xuan, why weren't you around when the 100,000-year-old soul beast appeared?"

"It was thanks to the soul bone my teacher gave me that I was able to kill it with a bit of luck; otherwise, our whole team would probably have died in its mouth."

Everyone else turned their gazes toward Xuanzi, their eyes filled with undisguised doubt. Even Zhang Lexuan, who was hiding in Ye Qing's arms, looked up and stared at the old man who reeked of alcohol.

"Ah? I..." Xuanzi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but faced with the children's gazes, he could only lower his head in dejection. "This time it was indeed my oversight that led you into a dangerous situation. When we return, I will ask the Sea God Pavilion for punishment."

"I won't say anything more. In the end, everyone survived." Ye Qing waved his hand, pretending to be nonchalant, but he was secretly laughing his head off.

The others wouldn't have dared to say what he just said. After all, Xuanzi is a level 98 expert. Even in the original story, where almost everyone was wiped out, let alone in the current situation where no one died, the survivors probably wouldn't dare to blame Xuanzi.

Strength is everything!

Even if they were dissatisfied with Xuanzi, they could only keep it to themselves.

But Ye Qing is different. He is Mu En's disciple, a super genius with extreme attributes, and the future successor of the Sea God Pavilion Master. He is fully qualified to criticize Xuan Zi's dereliction of duty and indirectly tell the survivors.

It was me, Ye Qing, who saved your lives!

Be grateful!

If it weren't for me, Ye Qing, you would all have lost your lives in the Star Dou Great Forest because of Xuan Zi Lao Deng's dereliction of duty!

Sigh, for the sake of my own plans, I can only make Xuanzi suffer a little more. Anyway, he deserves it. He brought this on himself by drinking and messing things up. He deserves to suffer.

The fact that Xuanzi couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal to Ye Qing's sharp words is the best proof of this, and Ye Qing's criticism of Xuanzi's behavior has indeed filled the others with gratitude towards him.

Even Zhang Lexuan, who was in his arms, tightened her grip on his waist.

Zhang Lexuan: This embrace is so warm and makes me feel so safe!

That's awesome!

And so, Xuanzi, along with the others, and Ye Qing carrying Zhang Lexuan in her arms, brazenly ignored the other soul beasts and flew towards Shrek Academy. No soul beast dared to attack Xuanzi, who was releasing his aura.

The journey was smooth and unobstructed.

As for Soul Hunter?

What's the point of hunting? Zhou Lu is only being kept alive by Ye Qing. If this drags on any longer, this Lu Sir will really have to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest as fertilizer. He can get the soul ring later, but if he loses his life, he's really done for.

That's why Xuanzi chose to fly back as fast as possible instead of letting them walk back slowly.

Upon returning to Shrek Academy, Xuanzi immediately took Zhou Lu to find Elder Zhuang, a Title Douluo specializing in healing. The other six inner court disciples, still shaken, went their separate ways to calm their frightened hearts.

Only Ye Qing and Zhang Lexuan sat together on the grass beside Poseidon Lake, watching the sunset cast its glow on the lake and enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the moment.

Feeling Ye Qing's body temperature, Zhang Lexuan wanted to say something, but the words that came out were just a long sigh.

"What's wrong?" Ye Qing lowered his head and stroked Zhang Lexuan's cheek, asking softly.

Zhang Lexuan bit her lower lip tightly, raised her head, and met Ye Qing's gaze with a stubborn look: "Qing, promise me that you will never leave me to go on adventures alone again. No matter what happens, I am willing to face it with you."

She didn't want to experience that feeling of loss again.

"it is good."

Ye Qing smiled slightly, pressed his forehead against hers, and watched as Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes gradually filled with tenderness, before softly replying.

As the sun set, the long shadows gradually drew closer and finally touched.

This kiss... was so sweet.

……

the other side.

After being treated by Elder Zhuang, Zhou Lu finally escaped the fate of becoming cannon fodder deer-man A at any time and saved his life. The Blood Shadow Fox's claw was quite vicious, almost scratching his soul away.

Old Master Zhuang also put in a lot of effort and used a lot of precious medicinal materials to ensure that he would not have too many aftereffects.

Of course, there will definitely be aftereffects.

The meridians in his chest were torn in large numbers, and the wounds that healed were bound to be more fragile, eventually becoming his unavoidable weakness.

But compared to my life, none of this matters.

Next...

In the Sea God Pavilion, the long-awaited Sea God Pavilion meeting was held again. After all, this time it could be considered a major incident, and the matter of Ye Qing obtaining a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone also needed to be explained, so this meeting had to be convened.

Once everyone had arrived, Mu En glanced at Xuan Zi, who looked utterly dejected, and his lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

Every time Moon saw him acting like this, he knew that Moon was definitely up to no good.

"Speak, Xuanzi, what is the reason for convening this meeting of the Sea God Pavilion?"
