In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

“No, it shouldn’t be him. I know Xiao San’s appearance all too well. That person seems to be taller than Xiao San, so it doesn’t seem like him.” Flander shook his head. “Why don’t we go over and ask? Maybe that young man knows where Dugu Bo lives.”

At this moment, Flander had a different thought. Although they were far apart and he couldn't see the person's face clearly, he guessed that the person was not much older than the Shrek Seven Devils. Even if the person was older, it wouldn't be by much. However, the person was extremely agile and fast, which reminded him for a moment of Lan Si, who had defeated the Shrek Seven Devils all by himself.

Now that Zhu Zhuqing has left the Shrek Seven Devils and Tang San's fate is unknown, two of the Shrek Seven Devils that he had placed high hopes on are gone. If he could bring them into the Shrek Seven Devils team, it would at least fill the void left by Zhu Zhuqing. In that case, the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament a year and a half later would be more hopeful.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong nodded in unison. It's always good to have someone to ask for directions; at least it's better than being like headless flies like this.

The young man seemed to have noticed them as well, but he didn't turn around and leave. He stayed where he was, watching and waiting. When he got closer, they finally saw each other's faces clearly.

This was a richly dressed young man, appearing to be thirteen or fourteen years old, over 1.8 meters tall, dressed in a blue, fitted outfit. He had a well-proportioned, tall and slender figure. His clear, dark blue eyes were crystal clear, his skin was fair, and his long, icy blue hair was casually draped over his shoulders without looking out of place. He was like a rare gem, embodying handsomeness, nobility, and elegance.

It was Lan Si who had just finished clearing out the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Upon their first meeting, the Golden Trio was awestruck by his extraordinary talent.

The person before me was simply too perfect in both appearance and temperament, so perfect that I couldn't find a single flaw and couldn't feel any aversion to them.

Having lived most of their lives, they considered themselves to have seen many handsome men, among whom Oscar, Dai Mubai, and Lan Si stood out the most. No matter where they were placed, their appearances were second to none. However, compared to the former, they all paled in comparison.

Whether in appearance or temperament, they are far behind.

Even Liu Erlong, who had been devoted to Yu Xiaogang for twenty years and whose heart belonged to someone else, felt her heart skip a beat the moment she saw the young man. She covered her red lips with her hand and her cheeks flushed slightly.

"My name is Tang Ritian. May I ask what brings you here, esteemed seniors?" Lan Si's gaze swept over the three men discreetly, a wary look on his face. He cupped his hands in greeting and, as always, gave his pseudonym. His appearance had changed drastically; not only Flander and Yu Xiaogang, but even Xiao Maomi, Ye Lingling, and Qian Renxue might not recognize him. Therefore, he wasn't worried about revealing his identity.

Upon hearing this, Flander was the first to react, clearing his throat a few times before replying, "Don't worry, we mean no harm. We just saw you wandering alone in Sunset Forest and wanted to ask you for directions to a place. I am Flander, the newly opened dean of Shrek Academy in Heaven Dou City, my martial soul is the Four-Eyed Owl, and I am a level 78 Agility-type Battle Soul Saint. This is Liu Erlong, the vice dean of Shrek Academy..."

As he spoke, Flander introduced the three people, and then, as was his habit, began to introduce Shrek Academy, praising it to the skies.

This caused Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong to roll their eyes. They knew that, unsurprisingly, Flander was once again showing his appreciation for talent and wanted to recruit Lan Si into Shrek Academy. Normally, they would have been happy to see this happen, after all, Lan Si's previous display of agility was far beyond the reach of ordinary people, enough to fill the vacancy left by Zhu Zhuqing among the Shrek Seven Devils.

But at this moment, with Tang San's fate uncertain, they had no time for such thoughts.

Chapter Ninety-Three: Qian Renxue's Worries

"Flander, it's time to get down to business." Yu Xiaogang nudged Flander with some dissatisfaction.

Flander asked Lan Si, "Brother Ritian, what brings you to the Star Dou Great Forest? Do you know where the Poison Douluo resides?"

"Does Lord Poison Douluo live in Sunset Forest?" Lan Si feigned surprise. "I'm just here to observe... oh no, to find a breakthrough opportunity in Sunset Forest. I don't know where Lord Poison Douluo is."

"Have you seen an old man and a young man in the forest? The old man was dressed in green, had green hair and green eyes, and the young man had black hair and wore blue. They were probably about your age." Yu Xiaogang asked, frowning. Although it was a question, there was a hint of command in her tone.

Lan Si shook his head, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes: "I've never seen anyone else besides you."

"Have you seen any strange places? Like large areas filled with poisonous fog?" Liu Erlong picked up the topic and then explained to Flander and Yu Xiaogang, "Dugu Bo is known for his poisons, and his residence is in Sunset Forest. To prevent soul beasts from invading, he would definitely set up a poison array around his residence."

"Poisonous fog?" Lan Si pretended to think for a moment, then pointed in the direction he came from and said with a sudden realization, "You mean that area, right? There is indeed an area over there with very few soul beasts, and the air contains a light purple fog. I was worried about the danger, so I didn't dare to go there. I don't know if it's the place you're talking about."

"That should be it. Flander, Erlong, let's go." Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang took the lead and ran towards the direction Lan Si knew. Liu Erlong was worried that Yu Xiaogang would encounter danger, so she followed closely behind. In the end, only Flander was left.

Flander said urgently to Lan Si, "Young brother, thank you. You dared to venture into Sunset Forest alone, so you must be quite strong. If you are interested in going to Shrek Academy, you can just mention my name, Flander."

As he spoke, Flander chased after Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong in the direction they had gone.

Watching Flander and the other two gradually disappear into the distance, Lan Si's lips curled into a dangerous smile, and he said in a low voice, "I hope you get what you want." He naturally wouldn't tell Yu Xiaogang and the others where Dugu Bo was for nothing. At this moment, Dugu Bo was not at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. If he returned and saw the mess at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and found Yu Xiaogang, Flander, and Liu Erlong lingering outside the poison array, that would be quite interesting.

I reckon that'll be enough to give them a good drink.

........

To avoid encountering Dugu Bo again, just like when they met the Golden Triangle, Lan Si deliberately took a longer route to Tiandou City this time.

Three hours later, Lan Si finally emerged from Sunset Forest and arrived at the official road leading to Tian Dou City.

Just then, a carriage loaded with goods drove through the middle of the road, and Lan Si saw a familiar figure on it. It was Tang San. At this moment, he was dressed in tattered clothes, looking just like a child from a poor family. Beside him sat an old man dressed as a farmer, wearing a straw hat, revealing a rare tuft of dark green hair that was quite eye-catching.

In the instant the carriage passed Lan Si, Tang San and Lan Si locked eyes. Lan Si's lips curled into a mocking smile, and then she continued towards Heaven Dou City without looking back.

Tang San looked slightly taken aback. For some reason, he felt a tightness in his chest and a vague sense of foreboding arose in his heart.

Having observed Tang San's reaction, Dugu Bo asked with some surprise, "What? Do you know that person from just now?"

Tang San shook his head: "I haven't seen it before, but it seems somewhat familiar. Perhaps I'm seeing things."

"Alright, we're far enough away from Tiandou City now. Even if that guy hiding in the shadows wanted to chase us, he wouldn't be able to." Dugu Bo stopped the carriage, lifted his bamboo hat, and tore off his tattered farm clothes, revealing a green robe underneath.

Upon hearing this, Tang San nodded, changed back into his own clothes, and, led by Dugu Bo, sped toward the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well he had long dreamed of.

.........

Tian Dou City, Crown Prince's Residence.

The Porcupine Douluo knelt on one knee behind Qian Renxue and said respectfully, "This subordinate is incompetent and allowed Dugu Bo to escape right under my nose. Please punish me, Young Master."

"Alright, Uncle Ci Xue, get up. This isn't your fault. Who would have thought that old poisoner would be willing to lower himself from his title as a Douluo and disguise himself as a coachman to sneak away from Heaven Dou City!" Qian Renxue, with her back to Ci Xue, didn't turn around. She casually tossed out a slip of paper and said indifferently, "Take a look. This is a message Uncle She sent three hours ago using a Soul Pigeon."

The Porcupine Douluo stood up, took the note, and read two lines: "Lan Si, her martial soul is suspected to have undergone a second awakening, her appearance has changed drastically, her soul power has soared to level 39, and she is suspected to have awakened her talent domain."

"What... what exactly happened?" The porcupine looked incredulous. He finally understood that Qian Renxue, who always hated failure, hadn't blamed him. It turned out that her beloved had gained unprecedented benefits.

"Ah Si is on her way back now. We'll find out when she gets back," Qian Renxue said with a faint smile. At this moment, she was clearly in a good mood because half an hour ago, Serpent Spear had sent another note. In addition to saying that Lan Si was on her way back and had encountered the Golden Iron Triangle Flander, Yu Xiaogang, and Zhao Wuji, as well as Dugu Bo disguised as a coachman, the note also thoughtfully mentioned Lan Si's appearance.

The note was filled with countless words of praise, which were finally summarized in one sentence: If there is any man in the world who is worthy of the young master's good looks, it is only Lan Si.

Everyone is born with an eye for beauty. The more beautiful or handsome a person is, the more they care about their appearance. Qian Renxue is no exception. Lan Si is handsome and a sunny, cheerful guy. Otherwise, Qian Renxue wouldn't have fallen into the trap of love and had her heart stolen by Lan Si's repeated flirting.

After spending more than a month together, their feelings for each other had already deepened. Qian Renxue had now genuinely accepted this man who was eight or nine years younger than her, yet unexpectedly possessed a mature personality that didn't match his age. Now that she learned that Lan Si's appearance had changed, her heart was filled with trepidation.

Even though Serpent Spear Douluo practically praised Lan Si to the skies, she still couldn't help but worry: what if... he's not as handsome as before?

The waiting time was always long. In order to see Lan Si as soon as possible, Qian Renxue repeatedly suppressed the urge to spread her angel wings and fly to see Lan Si, and kept sending the Porcupine Douluo to find out information.

Finally, after two hours of waiting, the Porcupine Douluo traveled back and forth between the Crown Prince's residence and Lan Si's location several times. On the last occasion, the Serpent Spear Douluo also returned, bringing back both good news and bad news.

P.S.: Third update. Requesting recommendation votes and monthly tickets.

Chapter Ninety-Four: The Serpent Spear Douluo is Heartbroken

After a long and winding journey, Lan Si finally made it back to Tiandou City from Sunset Forest as evening approached.

Several days later, Lan Si returned to Tian Dou City. He didn't feel much, but the huge change in his appearance caused him considerable distress.

His long, ice-blue hair, shimmering with a faint golden luster like crystal, his handsome face, fair skin, inner and noble temperament, and his large, clear, dark blue eyes constantly attract the attention of passersby.

Lan Si sighed softly, not paying much attention. Immortal herbs are best consumed as soon as possible. The most urgent thing is to go to the Crown Prince's residence to find Qian Renxue to give her a suitable immortal herb, and then go to Shrek Academy to find Little Cat and take her to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to refine the immortal herb with her cousin Ye Lingling.

However, the relationship between the kitten and Qian Renxue needs to be handled carefully. This kind of thing is like a time bomb, which will explode sooner or later, but the sooner it explodes, the less damage it will cause. Both of them are the women he loves the most, and he is unwilling to give up on either of them, nor does he want to give up on either of them.

The Crown Prince's Residence, adjacent to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, is like a subsidiary building of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. It is located in the most prosperous area in the center of Heaven Dou City. In addition to the former two, there are many other buildings in the prosperous area, such as the Heaven Dou City Great Soul and the Moon Pavilion.

On the only way to the Crown Prince's residence, in front of the Great Soul Arena of Heaven Dou City, Lan Si encountered two familiar figures.

One of the beauties was about twelve or thirteen years old. She had an exquisite face and a cold expression. She possessed a stunning figure that was far beyond her years, with long and slender limbs. Her sexiness was otherworldly. Even though she was dressed conservatively, her charm was still irresistible.

The other beauty was also extraordinary. She was slightly older than the first, around fifteen or sixteen years old, and her appearance was no less stunning than the first. Her delicate face was even colder, and her long, sky-blue hair, similar to Lan Si's, reached down to her waist, giving her a poignant and beautiful look.

They were Lan Si's cousin and girlfriend, Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing.

Eight days had passed since Lan Si left to 'train' (scout out), exceeding his usual maximum absence. The two women were understandably worried and decided to go to Tian Dou City to inquire about Lan Si's situation and see if he was at the Tian Dou Grand Arena. The result left them somewhat disappointed and worried; the people at the Grand Arena informed them that Lan Si hadn't participated in any battles for almost a month.

Both beauties are aloof and dislike socializing, but they come together because of Lan Si. As they spend more time together, they gradually reveal their true feelings and their relationship grows closer. The two women hold hands, and although their expressions remain cold due to their personalities, there is no sense of incongruity.

As soon as Lan Si saw them, the two beauties naturally noticed him as well.

Zhu Zhuqing was only slightly taken aback by Lan Si's appearance, and didn't pay much attention to it. She already had Lan Si in her heart, so even if a second man was more handsome, she would never give him a second glance. Ye Lingling, on the other hand, stopped and looked at Lan Si's location with a strange gaze.

"Sister Lingling, do you know him?" Zhu Zhuqing asked with some surprise. As far as she knew, Ye Lingling had no friends, not even the members of the Royal Fighting Team, whom she only knew by nodding acquaintance. Only Lan Si was her closest friend.

Ye Lingling first shook her head, then nodded. She took a deep breath, her dark blue eyes meeting Lan Si's. After a moment's hesitation, she asked Lan Si with a questioning and uncertain tone, "You are...A-Si..."

Zhu Zhuqing, standing to the side, was taken aback. She covered her mouth, looked at Ye Lingling, and then at Lan Si, her face full of disbelief. However, she knew that Ye Lingling was not one to make things up. Since she said that the other party was Lan Si, then there must be some basis for it. She remained silent and waited quietly for Lan Si's reply.

"Lingling, how did you recognize me?" Lan Si smiled gently and slowly walked up to Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling. His handsome appearance and noble temperament made even the two beauties lose their composure for a moment.

Upon receiving confirmation, Ye Lingling's cold, pretty face immediately broke into a sweet smile. She walked up to Lan Si, habitually straightened his slightly disheveled clothes, and said with a smile, "You and Auntie looked very alike when you were young. Also, you always glance at my and Zhu Qing's chests out of the corner of your eye. No one but you would do that."

"Uh..." Lan Si's face twitched involuntarily. The first sentence was acceptable, but the second sentence was something any man would make.

"Ahem..." Clearing his throat, Lan Si coughed a few times guiltily, then turned his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing and smiled as he changed the subject: "What? Zhuqing, don't you recognize me?"

"How can you prove you are him?" Zhu Zhuqing asked warily.

"Is this enough?" Lan Si raised his hand, and a bluish-white aura slowly emerged, with a palm-sized, ice-blue lotus appearing out of thin air in his palm. Three spirit rings, two yellow and one purple, rose from beneath his feet. Dazzling light swirled around his body.

“Although the martial souls are somewhat similar, it’s not enough.” Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, still looking wary.

"This is awkward." Lan Si put away his martial soul and soul rings, rubbed his forehead in annoyance, and suddenly said to Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhuqing, proving it isn't difficult, but... are you sure you want me to say it?"

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"Alright then." Lan Si took a deep breath, a mischievous glint in his eyes, and said with a grin, "You have a faint red mole on your left chest, and another one below your right buttock, which is even smaller. You can't even see it unless you look closely. And..."

"Stop talking, I believe you." Hearing Lan Si's incredibly shameful words, Zhu Zhuqing blushed instantly. Before Lan Si could finish speaking, Zhu Zhuqing threw herself into his arms. She covered his thin lips with her jade-like hand and buried her pretty face in his chest.

These secrets were unknown even to her parents; only Lan Si, who had taken advantage of her that night at the Soto City Grand Hotel, knew them. Who else but Lan Si would know these things?

Recalling the scene when Lan Si kissed every corner of her body, Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks flushed slightly.

The very top of the Great Soul Arena building in Tiandou City.

Serpent Spear Douluo saw everything below and frowned slightly. At this moment, Lan Si was actually embracing another woman behind his young master's back. What should he do?

Should we tell the young master?

The young master will probably be furious when he finds out. Last time, he almost killed Lan Si just because of rumors that Lan Si and Ye Lingling were dating. If he finds out that Lan Si is with another woman this time, he'll probably have the urge to kill.

Small Bookstore

Hmm, that's not quite right. It would be such a pity if such an outstanding genius, who also possesses one in ten thousand twin martial souls, died.
