Douluo Continent: Becoming the God of Nature Starting from Farming

"Xiao Ze, it seems I was too lenient with you before!" Qian Renxue's sudden anger left Xiao Ze even more bewildered.

Xiao Ze said cautiously, "I don't think I've offended you. Are you on your period? Would you like some hot water?"

Qian Renxue naturally knew what Xiao Ze was talking about, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she became even angrier.

"Damn it! Since you didn't know, don't blame me."

Qian Renxue suddenly leaned down and pressed Xiao Ze firmly onto the bed, using her body weight to restrain his movements.

Her soul power flowed through her fingertips, instantly condensing into two ropes of light that tightly bound Xiao Ze's wrists to the bedpost.

Xiao Ze then learned what Qian Renxue had said.

He was a little embarrassed, not expecting to forget such an important matter and have to let Qian Renxue take the initiative.

“I just remembered that matter… How about we let go of me and let me take the lead?” Xiao Ze suggested tentatively.

Qian Renxue completely ignored his suggestion.

He started working on his own, his hands seemingly very skilled.

Xiao Ze looked helplessly at the bright morning light outside the window.

Is it wrong to do this kind of thing in broad daylight?

But feeling the groping hands below, he could only sigh resignedly.

Surprisingly, Xiao Ze found this to have a unique charm.

Interesting.

……

Looking at the sun, it seems to be noon.

Bright sunlight streamed through the gauze curtains, filling the bedroom.

Xiao Ze turned to look at Qian Renxue, who was fast asleep beside him. Her fair cheeks still had a blush that hadn't faded, and her eyelashes were wet and stuck together, clearly showing traces of tears.

He reached out and pulled her close, gently wiping away her tears with his fingertips.

In her sleep, Qian Renxue unconsciously snuggled into his arms, letting out a soft whimper like a kitten.

Looking at her like this, Xiao Ze couldn't help but recall her previous domineering demeanor, and found it somewhat amusing.

A hint of helplessness and doting smile appeared in his eyes.

"As expected of an angel god, he always has to be assertive in everything he does."

……

A small village in Tiandou City.

Under the scorching sun, the dilapidated village was deathly silent, with only the heavy smell of blood in the air.

"Is this the place?"

“That’s right, it’s this little village. This little village is the worst off.” One person nodded.

Several figures moved cautiously between the houses, occasionally stepping on congealed, blackened blood.

The bodies of villagers lay scattered along the dirt road, each in a different pose, all in a state of terror before their deaths.

An old man lay on his back by the well, his cloudy eyes staring at the sky, his hand still tightly gripping half of a broken hoe handle.

The collapsed hut was burying the body of a woman who had been protecting her baby until her death.

But the little body was already cold.

The group frowned upon seeing this.

"Damn it! How could a Soul Master be so despicable? We must catch him and give them an explanation!"

"That's right, we must find the murderer and have His Highness kill him!"

The crowd was filled with righteous indignation.

Even in battles between Soul Masters, such a massacre would not occur!

To kill ordinary people so ruthlessly, not even sparing infants, this Soul Master is simply a beast.

A faint noise suddenly came from somewhere.

The Soul Masters suddenly became serious.

The leading Soul Master made a gesture, and everyone immediately held their breath and gathered around.

As the strongest male Soul Master gently parted the damp wheat stalks, a cold light suddenly slashed out.

He reacted quickly, grabbing the cleaver that was coming at him with his bare hands, and said in a deep voice, "Calm down!"

The group discovered a girl of about ten years old huddled there. She was dressed in rags, her pale face covered in mud, and her wide-open eyes were filled with fear and despair.

The only female Soul Master in the group slowly squatted down and gently opened her arms: "Don't be afraid, we are Soul Masters from the Spirit Empire."

Upon hearing the words "Martial Soul Empire".

The girl froze for a moment, then suddenly burst into tears, her small body trembling violently: "Mom is dead... Dad was killed too... I'm the only one left in the family..."

The female Soul Master gently embraced her, feeling the child's thin back heaving violently beneath her palm.

All the Soul Masters lowered their heads in silence, leaving only the girl's heart-wrenching cries echoing in the air.

After a long while, the girl fell into a deep sleep.

The female Soul Master gently lifted her up.

“Let’s go. She’s the only survivor here. She must know what happened. Let’s hurry back to the Spirit Hall and hand the girl over to His Highness the Holy Son.”

"it is good!"

Chapter 396 Crimson Greatsword

"Who are you? Is there a surviving child in that village?" Xiao Ze frowned.

“That’s right, Your Highness. That little village is in a terrible state, and there’s a strong smell of blood in the air. This smell of blood can’t be produced by fresh blood. I suspect it’s related to that person’s martial spirit.”

Xiao Ze nodded: "I understand. Leave the little girl to me, you guys go ahead."

"Yes."

Xiao Ze looked at the girl curled up in the blanket. She was trembling like a frightened fledgling bird, her pupils unfocused.

He knelt down on one knee to look her in the eye. "Child, this is the Spirit Hall, it's very safe. Can you tell me what happened in the village?"

The girl didn't react at all; she just buried her face deeper into her knees, digging her nails until her arms turned blue and white.

Xiao Ze was helpless. Seeing her like this, he knew he wouldn't get anything out of her now, but he needed to get it out as soon as possible, otherwise this kind of thing would happen again, which would be a blow to the reputation of the Martial Soul Empire.

"Go and bring Lingling here."

"Yes."

Soon, Ye Lingling arrived at the room.

"What happened to Xiao Ze?"

Xiao Ze told Ye Lingling about the little girl.

Ye Lingling's usual gentle demeanor instantly changed, turning into one of murderous intent!

"Damn it! How can there be such a beast? Leave Xiao Ze to me, I will definitely heal her heartbreak."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Xiao Ze nodded and then left.

Ye Lingling sat beside the little girl, her healing light caressing the girl's wounded body like a spring breeze.

The girl stared blankly at the warm green light, as if she were seeing the very first colors of life.

Ye Lingling keenly noticed the change in the girl's eyes and asked softly, "Child, do you want to become a healing-type Soul Master?"

During the treatment, Ye Lingling sensed that although the child's martial spirit had awakened, his innate soul power was so weak that it was almost impossible to measure.

Surprisingly, she possesses a martial soul with a trace of life force. If properly guided, it is not impossible for her to reach the level of a healing-type great soul master in the future.

Furthermore, the Soul Master system is still constantly evolving.

Sooner or later, it will be possible for those soul masters who do not have innate soul power to cultivate.

Xiao Ze once said that being able to awaken a martial soul means possessing soul power and the power of the martial soul's origin.

However, some people's talents are simply too weak, so they cannot cultivate.

"If... I had the power," the girl's voice was so soft it seemed to break, "I could save my mother, save my father, save everyone..."

Her body trembled slightly, and her eyes were so dry that not a single tear could be shed.

All the tears had already been shed in that tragedy.

Ye Lingling's heart tightened, and she hugged the small, thin body tightly: "Child, you are still alive. You are the continuation of your parents' lives, and the future of your village. You must live well. For yourself, and for all those who love you."

The girl shuddered, her small hands gripping Ye Lingling's clothes tightly, the despair in her eyes gradually replaced by a kind of determination.

After a long while, she raised her head and said, word by word, "Sister, I understand. I will definitely live well."

Her youthful voice carried a firmness beyond her years.

"I want to see that demon die with my own eyes."

"Alright, I will definitely make sure Xiao Ze, that is, His Highness the Holy Son, captures him!"

"Ok!"

"Come on, let's eat first. You've been hungry for so long."

"Ah."

The little girl wolfed down the hot porridge and meat pie in front of her, her cheeks bulging.

Ye Lingling gently stroked her hair and softly reminded her, "Eat slowly. You've been hungry for days. Your stomach won't be able to handle eating too fast."

"Mmm," the little girl mumbled in response, her chewing speed noticeably slowing down, but her grip on the spoon remained tight.

Seeing that the girl was eating normally, Ye Lingling felt a little relieved.

She planned to send her to the primary soul master academy under the Spirit Hall once her child's emotions had stabilized.
