Tang San Can't Stop It

Mm-hm-hm!

At the Heaven Dou Royal Academy training grounds, Ye Lingling was in an exceptionally good mood today. Not only did she skip along as she walked, but she was even humming a tune.

"Lingling, what have you been up to lately? You vanish and reappear every day!"

A slender arm suddenly reached out from the shadows and wrapped around Ye Lingling's arm.

"Ah, Sister Yanyan!"

Seeing Dugu Yan suddenly appear, Ye Lingling froze for a moment, then her little face reddened slightly. She had indeed been a little too pleased with herself just now.

"Nothing, just cultivating. You know, our Auxiliary Soul Masters cultivate very slowly. If I don't work harder, I might not reach Level 40 by the Soul Master Tournament four years from now!"

Ye Lingling's gaze drifted slightly. She did not want to casually reveal that she had gained Combat Power.

It was better for everyone else to keep seeing her as an obedient Auxiliary Soul Master. When real danger arose, she could strike without warning.

One Rasengan would be enough to teach those bastards who wanted to attack the rear a lesson.

These days, some twisted trend had somehow spread across the Douluo Continent.

Capture the leader before the followers, target the rear in team battles, kill the healer before the damage dealers—this style of soul fighting had practically taken shape.

When would Auxiliary Soul Masters finally be able to stand tall?

No, she could already stand tall.

She had watched the Rasengan soul skill many times. Each time she watched it, she gained new insights.

As a healer who specialized in treatment, she had far more time than others to study this and that.

The more she saw, the more ideas she had.

She already had many ways to upgrade the Rasengan, though they might cause injuries and would take quite a while.

So she planned to spend more time deducing the Rasengan in the future and reduce the amount of time she spent appearing alongside Dugu Yan and the others.

Rather than waste that time, she might as well cultivate more!

"Tsk, Lingling, you're way too hardworking. Are you trying to grind us all into the ground?"

Dugu Yan threw back her head and complained.

She felt that Ye Lingling's temperament had changed a little.

She was still as calm and approachable as ever, but there was now a faint hint of confidence and boldness beneath it.

"That's not true!"

Ye Lingling shook her head in denial.

But she was thinking of someone else. That person was so talented yet still worked so hard at cultivation. If an "ordinary person" like her did not hurry up and cultivate, would she not be no different from useless trash?

Achoo!

On the long staircase outside Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Zhu Zhuqing, wearing a black Bamboo Hat, suddenly sneezed.

"Looks like someone's talking about me again!"

Rubbing her nose, Zhu Zhuqing prepared to leave the city.

Her cultivation had not fallen behind much this past month.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy covered a huge area, and practically no one there was willing to cultivate late at night.

Every night, Zhu Zhuqing only needed to slip into the back mountain, and she could cultivate however she pleased.

Actually, there was no need for her to leave. Cultivating inside Heaven Dou Royal Academy meant she did not need to worry about being discovered, and Ye Lingling even provided her with three meals a day. It was almost too comfortable.

But Ye Lingling did not represent just herself. Behind her stood the entire Undying Ye Family.

Zhu Zhuqing could not be bothered to get involved.

When dealing with Ye Lingling, she could still gain a slight edge in schemes. But if she had to deal with those old foxes, she feared she would be sold off and still help them count the money.

Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing frowned, and her figure swiftly slipped into the shadows, vanishing from where she stood.

A few breaths after Zhu Zhuqing disappeared, two groups of people appeared one after another at her previous location.

"Damn it, search properly for me! That woman must be hiding nearby! Whoever finds her will be richly rewarded by this prince!"

Just as the crowd failed to block Zhu Zhuqing, a disheveled blond-haired fellow appeared in their midst and arrogantly ordered his subordinates around.

Xue Beng had coveted Ye Lingling for far more than a day or two. But at the academy, Ye Lingling had the Teaching Committee protecting her and Dugu Yan watching over her.

He truly had no chance to make a move.

Then, over the past two days, he suddenly received a report from his men that Ye Lingling had recently brought a servant into the academy.

And he had heard that she had a truly incredible figure.

Zhu Zhuqing could indeed sense some gazes, but the person who spotted her possessed a Hawk Martial Soul and had exceptionally good eyesight. He had secretly caught a glimpse of her from several hundred meters away, so it was normal that she had not noticed.

Although she had not noticed, information about her had somehow reached that spoiled brat Xue Beng.

He could not touch Ye Lingling, but surely he could touch her servant?

Since he could not hurt Ye Lingling, he planned to disgust her instead.

Today, as soon as he learned that Ye Lingling's servant was leaving the academy, he hurriedly split his men into two groups and personally led them to surround her.

Yet Zhu Zhuqing had still noticed them first and avoided them.

"Xue Beng!"

Looking at the greasy-faced fellow leading them, a trace of disgust flashed through Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

She did not know whether Xue Beng's claim in the original story that it was all an act was true, but she knew one thing.

Throughout the entire Heaven Dou Imperial City, Xue Beng's reputation was worse than that of a rat crossing the street.

Anyone who asked around could list a whole string of Xue Beng's crimes.

Unfortunately, he was a prince. As long as he did not offend an existence greater than the empire itself, he could live comfortably.

And Xue Beng had mastered the art of self-preservation.

He did not dare provoke anyone from the Noble Clans, and all the people he targeted were from ordinary families.

Who knew how many ordinary families had already suffered undeserved disasters because of his methods.

"Your Highness, we found nothing!"

The searchers soon returned with their heads lowered.

Slap!

"Useless bastards! You can't even catch one person, so what good are you?"

Xue Beng flew into a rage. He had heard that Ye Lingling's servant was exceptionally well-endowed, a rare Supreme Grade.

He had originally thought that if he could not get Ye Lingling, he could settle for her servant. He had nearly taken off his clothes already, and now they were telling him she was gone?

How could he not be furious?

"Damn it! If that bitch Ye Lingling didn't know Dugu Yan, I'd kill her myself!"

"Fourth Prince, please calm down. It is not worth ruining your health over a woman. She's just a woman—surely the Fourth Prince does not care that much, does he?"

Xue Beng's other lackeys hurried forward to console him.

If they did not soothe him properly, they feared they would be caught in the crossfire as well.

"Hmph, of course I don't care about some woman. I merely wanted to teach that bitch Ye Lingling a lesson!"

Xue Beng straightened his clothes and spoke righteously.

"Forget it. If we can't find her this time, pay closer attention next time and don't let her escape again. Otherwise..."

Xue Beng looked at his lackeys, his eyes full of threat.

"How ironic. Trash like him can actually become the ruler of a country!?"

After Xue Beng and the others left, Zhu Zhuqing emerged from the shadows behind a large tree. Looking in the direction they had gone, her eyes were ice-cold.

She would not comment on anything else, but Xue Beng could forget about inheriting any throne in this lifetime.

Tang San would not be able to stop what Zhu Zhuqing had decided!
