Li... Xiaoyao, Hater of Evil

"So that was what happened. That Luon... Luon En really had some nerve!" Li Yuan believed Tang Weiwei's explanation.

This sort of thing was quite common on Douluo Continent. The two great empires were rotten to the core, and most nobles relied on their supposedly superior status to run wild. Their character was hardly any better than the Celestial Dragons in One Piece.

Tang Weiwei only had the identity of Spirit Hall, so Luon En restrained himself a little. If it had been an ordinary commoner, things would probably have ended far worse.

"That Luon En you mentioned—since he's a marquis's son, the Luon Family should have quite a few powerful Spirit Masters, right?"

Li Yuan was still rather cautious. Realizing that he had offended a marquis's family, he instinctively began asking Tang Weiwei about the Luon Family.

There was no other reason, really. He just wanted to be prepared. If the Luon Family happened to be hiding a Titled Douluo-level expert, he would need to run as soon as possible.

Of course, that possibility was very small. After all, this was still the first Douluo era, when Titled Douluos were fairly rare. The two great empires themselves had limited strength as well. In the entire Heaven Dou Empire, the only Titled Douluo officially acknowledged was probably Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

Even the imperial family was like that, so a marquis's family was even less worth mentioning. They probably did not even have a Spirit Douluo-level Spirit Master.

"That's right. The Luon Family does keep quite a few Spirit Masters as thugs. I heard they even have Spirit Emperor-level Spirit Masters. Oh, and the Luon Family's current head, Imperial Marquis Luon Cheng, is a Spirit Emperor-level Spirit Master."

Tang Weiwei's expression was grave. She looked at Li Yuan with some concern, thought for a moment, then said, "Brother Li, you killed people from the Luon Family to help me. I'm afraid they won't let you off easily."

"So you should leave quickly. Don't worry, my sister and I will keep your secret. We definitely won't let the Luon Family learn of your existence."

"So after all that, the Luon Family doesn't even have a Spirit Sage!"

Sure enough, the Luon Family was even more unimpressive than Li Yuan had imagined. Without even a Spirit Sage, he had nothing to fear. He was confident he could deal with Spirit Emperors. Even if several Spirit Emperors besieged him, he was confident he could escape unscathed.

There was nothing to be afraid of now.

Li Yuan immediately relaxed and declared righteously, "I, Li... Xiaoyao, am a seven-foot man. How could I be some coward afraid of death?"

"That Luon En broke the law and seized women by force. As the nemesis of justice—ptui, I misspoke—the nemesis of evil, I, Li Xiaoyao, will fight evil forces like Luon En to the very end. You don't need to worry about me."

Li Yuan's words were indeed righteous and resounding. Combined with that knockoff Li Xiaoyao face of his, the effect was truly quite good.

At the very least, after hearing Li Yuan's words, Tang Weiwei immediately revealed an admiring expression. The fear she had felt after watching Li Yuan kill vanished without a trace.

She even instinctively began defending Li Yuan. It was not Brother Li's fault that he had killed people. Those Spirit Masters had served the Luon Family in the first place, so they were hardly good people.

Though he had been a little ruthless, that only proved that Brother Li hated evil and was determined to fight evil forces to the end!

"Brother Li, if there's anything you need my help with, please don't hesitate."

While talking herself into it, Tang Weiwei raised her head and spoke.

After all, Li Yuan had just saved both her and her sister. Even if Li Yuan asked her to marry him, Tang Weiwei would probably agree with only token resistance.

There was only one reason: Li Yuan was handsome enough. Otherwise, it would only be, "This humble girl has no way to repay you, save by serving as an ox or horse in the next life."

Li Yuan had no idea Tang Weiwei had basically finished persuading herself. Hearing this, he was overjoyed and quickly said, "As it happens, there is indeed something I need Miss Tang's help with."

"What is it?"

"It's simple. Miss Tang is a Spirit Master from Spirit Hall, right? I happen to want to go to Spirit Hall for a Spirit Master assessment. I would appreciate it if Miss Tang could show me the way."

"What? Brother Li, have you never undergone a Spirit Master assessment before?"

This time, Tang Weiwei was stunned. On Douluo Continent, under normal circumstances, when a Spirit Master's Soul Power reached level ten and they obtained their first soul ring, they would go to Spirit Hall for a Spirit Master assessment.

After passing the assessment, they could receive a monthly subsidy. Although it was not much money for a Spirit Master, free money was free money. Most Spirit Masters would go to Spirit Hall to verify their identities and collect the subsidy while they were at it.

Could it be that Li Xiaoyao had never verified his identity as a Spirit Master?

Tang Weiwei looked at Li Yuan in disbelief, unable to understand what was going on.

Li Yuan noticed the surprise in Tang Weiwei's expression. After considering it, he explained, "Miss Tang, I have devoted myself to cultivation. I have been training bitterly in Sunset Great Forest all these years, so I never had the chance to undergo a Spirit Master identity assessment."

"Could Miss Tang help me with it?"

"No problem. It's only a small favor, not worth mentioning." Tang Weiwei suddenly understood and agreed without hesitation.

To her, this was truly not a problem. Moreover, Li Yuan could protect her on the way back to Heaven Dou City.

Tang Weiwei had witnessed Li Yuan's strength with her own eyes. Although Li Yuan appeared to be only a Three-ring Soul Master, and his rank was lower than hers—

His actual combat strength was absolutely at the level of a Soul King. He was not even weak among Soul Kings, a genuine genius.

With such a powerful expert as her bodyguard, Tang Weiwei could relax a little. She no longer had to worry about the Luon Family making another move.

With that, the atmosphere between Li Yuan and the Tang sisters immediately became much more harmonious.

Li Yuan had a handsome face and was quite good with words. It did not take much effort for him to win the Tang sisters' favor.

Oh, and Juhua had also played no small part. Girls had absolutely no resistance to adorable creatures like cats. Although Juhua had gained quite a bit of weight over the years and looked like an orange pig that had been dyed—

Its cute and obedient appearance was still highly alluring. Not to mention the Tang sisters, even Li Yuan himself often found chances to pet it a couple of times.

Of course, as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and the dignified Void Orange Cat, Juhua still had its pride.

Under normal circumstances, it was unwilling to let people pet it. Only when Li Yuan used food as an aid could he occasionally get what he wanted.

But when facing the Tang sisters, Juhua showed them no kindness at all. It acted aloof and looked down on the two young ladies. In the end, the Tang sisters failed to get what they wanted, and Tang Cai'er, the younger sister, was depressed over it for quite some time.
