Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor.

Chapter 158 Ma Xiaotao: Waiting for you to put out the fire!

After leaving the Sea God Pavilion, Ye Qing strolled along the paths of Sea God Island with a smile on his face, occasionally reaching out to brush against the blooming flowers by the roadside.

He was in a great mood. The improvement brought about by condensing the Yin-Yang Soul Core was so great that it almost transformed him. He was now like a mortal who had obtained a divine artifact. He knew that the power of this artifact was earth-shattering, but he still needed to explore it slowly.

And coincidentally, he already had plenty of time.

He will have plenty of time to explore and develop his strengths. He has already successfully forged a path, and all that remains is to use time to make that path deeper and wider.

As for Shrek Academy, he no longer needs to be as wary as before. He had already achieved this level of success in the early stages of Tang San's dog training, and now he can announce his departure from seclusion.

"If only this were in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, I could instantly transform Yin and Yang into Chaos and become an Emperor!" Ye Qing couldn't help but fantasize. However, the Douluo Continent ultimately did not support such a heaven-defying operation, so he could only think about it in his heart.

He has now achieved a balance of Yin and Yang, and further improvement can be focused on the path of time and space.

In the Douluo Continent, the simplest way to grow stronger is to kill a soul beast with corresponding abilities and then absorb its soul ring and soul bone—a method that is extremely simple and brutal.

It is possible to figure it out on your own, but it will be much more difficult.

However, Ye Qing didn't care. He believed that his comprehension was quite good, and he could be considered one of the top tiers. In addition, human soul masters in Douluo Continent naturally had a comprehension that was countless times higher than that of soul beasts.

Both Di Tian and the Evil Eye Tyrant could forge their own spacetime abilities through sheer strength, so why shouldn't Ye Qing?

My sword, Ye Qing's, has never been ineffective!

However, after a long period of seclusion, Ye Qing also wanted to take a break for a while. The process of condensing the Yin-Yang Soul Core was just too damn tedious. Now, as he strolled in the sun, he even felt like he was in another world.

This is definitely detrimental to cultivation.

Lost in thought, Ye Qing arrived at Zhang Lexuan's residence, only to find that Zhang Lexuan was not home.

"She went out to take on a mission from the inspection team? That's not right. If Le Xuan went to take on a mission, then when I suggested coming to find her earlier, the teacher should have reminded me." Ye Qing stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Could it be that Moon forgot?

It shouldn't be that bad.

Life in the inner courtyard is quite boring, so where would Zhang Lexuan be at this time?

Ye Qing looked up at the sky and estimated that it was around 3 p.m., so he could go and check out the Soul Fighting Zone.

Without hesitation, Ye Qing changed direction and slowly walked towards the Soul Fighting Zone.

Anyway, he just wants to relax right now, so there's no need to rush to fly there. Enjoying the long-lost feeling of relaxation is also a good thing.

Poseidon Island wasn't very big, and Ye Qing quickly arrived at the Soul Battle Zone in the inner courtyard, where he was immediately stopped by the guards at the entrance.

"During this special period, the Soul Fighting Zone is not open during these hours. Please leave now and come back another time," the guard replied sternly after glancing at the Inner Court badge on Ye Qing's chest.

Ye Qing's face showed a knowing look as he replied, "My name is Ye Qing. I'm here to find someone. Is Zhang Lexuan inside?"

After hesitating for a moment, the guard nodded.

"Could you please inform her? I need to speak with Zhang Lexuan. Just tell her my name, and she'll come out to see me." Ye Qing smiled slightly, perfectly embodying politeness and elegance.

The guards were just doing their duty; there's no need to give them a hard time over such a small matter. That doesn't make you look cool; it just makes you seem incompetent.

Seeing Ye Qing, an inner court disciple, treat him, a mere guard, with such kindness, the guard felt quite comfortable, as if bathed in a spring breeze. After exchanging a glance with the other guard opposite him, he walked into the Soul Fighting Zone.

The reason why the Soul Arena is temporarily closed is quite simple. Shrek Academy, which regards the competition as an honor, would normally close the venue when the main teams are training together. If outsiders were to reveal the configuration of Shrek Academy's participating teams, wouldn't that be considered a leak of secrets?

However, in reality, this behavior seems unnecessary...

Before long, two beautiful figures emerged from the passageway of the Soul Fighting Zone.

Why are there two?

That's naturally because one of them is Ma Xiaotao.

During the six months Ye Qing was missing, the evil fire in Ma Xiaotao's body gradually intensified. Having experienced the feeling of relief after Ye Qing healed her, she had no desire to endure the burning pain of the evil fire any longer.

Over the past six months, she watched as the internal fire within her increased daily, and her temper gradually became as irritable as before.

Hearing that Ye Qing had returned, she naturally couldn't wait to come out, completely ignoring Zhang Lexuan's strange gaze.

Zhang Lexuan: Oh no, someone's trying to steal my husband.

Good news: You can't steal your husband away.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Bad news: Your husband wasn't just yours to begin with.

In short, Zhang Lexuan, who hadn't seen Ye Qing for nearly ten months, looked at him with such longing that her eyes were almost dripping with tears.

"I'm back." Ye Qing grinned, opened his arms wide, and hugged Zhang Lexuan tightly.

He knew Zhang Lexuan was reserved, and he couldn't expect a quiet and gentle older sister to take the initiative, so he had to take the initiative himself. Under his straightforward embrace, Zhang Lexuan immediately softened into a puddle of water and became as tender as silk.

Seeing that Ye Qing hadn't even glanced at her and was only focused on Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao couldn't help but feel a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Junior Uncle..." Ma Xiaotao's tone was resentful, almost to the point that if the Evil Sword Immortal took a sip of it, he would become invincible.

Only then did Ye Qing lift her head from Zhang Lexuan's hair, looking at Ma Xiaotao with a strange smile: "Oh, it's Junior Nephew Xiaotao. Is there something you need?"

Ma Xiaotao's eyes became even more resentful: "Uncle-Master, you've been traveling for so long, have you forgotten something? Your nephew is feeling very unwell with a fever all over her body~"

Then she revealed her true colors, a seductive smile on her slightly rosy face, her pearly teeth gently biting her lower lip, a sight so pitiful that one glance was enough to make you want to go to the supermarket, and another glance would make you explode.

"Uncle-Master~ I'm waiting for you to extinguish my evil fire, hehehe..." Ma Xiaotao played with the purplish-red flame dancing between her jade fingers, and left with a light laugh.

Zhang Lexuan, who was being held in Ye Qing's arms, also raised her head and looked at Ma Xiaotao's graceful, swaying back with slightly narrowed eyes.
