"The Improper System"

"Bring a change of clothes?" Ye Qin asked doubtfully.

"Yes, that was Hall Master's instruction!" the woman replied.

What is Hu Liena up to? Ye Qin wondered.

"Hall Master has finished giving her instructions. Prince Ye Qin, I shall take my leave first!" the woman said respectfully.

"Go on." Ye Qin nodded slightly.

To his surprise, Ye Xuan did not come looking for him.

The night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, Ye Qin packed his clothes into his Spirit Guiding Container and strode toward Spirit Hall.

When he arrived at the gates of Spirit Hall, he saw Hu Liena waiting there with a group of fully armed Spirit Hall attendants.

"Hu Liena, judging by your appearance, are you going on a long trip?" Ye Qin asked.

"Yes. I plan to inspect the subordinate Spirit Halls. It will probably take about half a month," Hu Liena replied with a nod.

"So you mean to take me with you?" Ye Qin pressed.

"You are my assistant now. Isn't that only natural?" Hu Liena answered firmly.

"That's not right. Didn't you tell me before that being an assistant was an idle post?" Ye Qin frowned slightly.

"What idle posts are there in Spirit Hall? Are you going or not?"

"What if I go? What if I don't?" Ye Qin asked with a smile.

"If you don't go, I'll remove you from your position as assistant!" Hu Liena replied at once.

"Ding! Check-in Quest triggered: Ride the same horse as Hu Liena! Quest reward: one Divine Steed Spirit Beast!"

Just then, the system notification suddenly rang out!

... Ye Qin froze for two seconds, then thought, Damn it, this system is getting more and more mischievous!

"Host must complete the quest, or the next quest will not be triggered!"

"Ye Qin, are you going or not?" Hu Liena called when she saw him standing there in a daze.

"I can go, but I don't know how to ride a horse," Ye Qin replied.

"Then what do you want?" Hu Liena asked.

"Simple. I want to ride the same horse as you," Ye Qin said.

"No. I can arrange a carriage for you," Hu Liena said, shaking her head.

"That won't do. Then I'm not going." Ye Qin spoke with an unconcerned air.

Hearing this, Hu Liena felt a flicker of anger, but she still gritted her teeth and replied, "Fine!"

Hu Liena, don't blame me. Blame the system instead! After saying that, Ye Qin waited for Hu Liena to mount her horse, then flipped himself up behind her!

"You really can't ride?" Seeing Ye Qin's practiced movements, Hu Liena frowned slightly.

"Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, ask Monkey Yang!" Ye Qin replied.

"That's right, Prince Ye Qin has never ridden a horse!" Yang Qitian said against his conscience.

Only then did Hu Liena half-believe him. She led the large party out of the Royal City at a gallop!

"Ding! Check-in Quest completed. You have obtained one Divine Beast Ice God Steed. It has been automatically stored in the system space and may be summoned at any time!"

Although the system had forced him into it, as Ye Qin inhaled the faint fragrance from Hu Liena's body, he felt that anyone who could hold back now was no ordinary man!

So, he stretched out both arms and wrapped them around Hu Liena!

At the sight, every guard felt their hearts itch.

Though Hu Liena was only fourteen, she was undeniably a peerless beauty. Coupled with the fact that she would likely become Spirit Hall's next Pope, her personal charm was immense!

They wished they could rush over, drag Ye Qin down, and take his place holding her!

Hu Liena herself shuddered and could not help turning back to look at him.

"Your riding is too bumpy. I'm afraid you'll throw me off," Ye Qin said. "Watch where you're going!"

At first, Ye Qin felt that he was being somewhat lecherous, but he gradually grew accustomed to it!

Although Hu Liena's expression showed resistance, she found herself feeling rather content inside!

After a long journey, the cavalry quickly crossed mountains and ridges, arriving in a forest near the Royal City.

As night drew near, the group decided to stop traveling and set up camp beside a stream!

After dismounting, Hu Liena seemed to feel uncomfortable, so she deliberately sat far away from Ye Qin.

Naturally, Ye Qin did not care. Hu Liena was already within his grasp, so he was in no hurry.

He was quite eager to see the Divine Steed the system had given him, so he casually made an excuse and headed deeper into the forest.

To avoid being noticed, he did not stop until he was far from the camp. With Mina protecting him, he did not believe any peak Douluo-level person would come to kill him!

Reaching an open clearing, Ye Qin quickly summoned the Divine Steed!

A blue beam shot from his body and landed in the clearing. In an instant, a blue stallion appeared before him.

The blue stallion was as crystal-clear as a gemstone. Other than its red pupils, every part of it was blue. A faint blue glow swirled around its body, thoroughly illuminating the dim forest nearby.

"Ice God Steed: an amphibious, terrestrial, and aerial Spirit Beast capable of traveling thirty thousand li in a day!"

"Mm, not bad!" Ye Qin said excitedly, nodding as he leaped onto the horse, ready to experience it for himself!

But at that moment, an intense sound of fighting came from within the forest.

"Not good, it's coming from the direction of the camp!" Ye Qin cried out. He immediately urged the Ice God Steed into a mad dash toward the camp!

When he neared the camp, Ye Qin immediately dismounted and recalled the Ice God Steed. But by then, the fighting at the camp had already stopped.

Several humanoid corpses now lay on the ground!

At first glance, they really did look human, but their bare upper bodies were covered in wolf fur, and their heads were shaped like wolves!

Ye Qin immediately thought of the half-beast race of the Douluo Continent—the descendants of Gale Demon Wolves and humans: Wolf Bandits!

Wolf Bandits were even stronger than ordinary Soul Masters and made their living through robbery!

"Ye Qin, where did you go?" Hu Liena asked anxiously upon seeing him.

"I went to take care of some bodily needs," Ye Qin replied.

"Pervert!" Hu Liena could not help cursing when she heard his answer.

"What are you thinking? I went to the toilet!" Ye Qin replied. "What happened just now?"

"Nothing. A few Wolf Bandits attacked us, but they've already been dealt with," Hu Liena replied.

"It's not that simple!" Ye Qin immediately said. "Wolf Bandits are pack creatures, just like wolves. There must be a large number of Wolf Bandits nearby. We need to be careful!"

Awoo!

Before Ye Qin had even finished speaking, piercing wolf howls and the sound of wood breaking rose from all directions within the forest!

"Jinx!" Hu Liena could not help snapping at Ye Qin. Then she ordered the guards, "Everyone be careful! Those with higher Soul Power Levels stand on the outside, those with lower levels stay inside, and support-type Soul Masters in the center!"

"Yes!" all the Spirit Hall guards answered in unison.

"You, stand behind me!" Hu Liena said to Ye Qin.

Because I'm writing two books at once, and this one has only just started, I still haven't found my rhythm, so the updates have been a little slow. I hope everyone can bear with me!

I'll do my utmost to write it well!
