Home Again, Time to Lie Around Like a Corpse Again

Inside a small, inconspicuous courtyard in a working-class neighborhood on the Mingdu East Suburb.

Under the cover of night, Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao led the Shrek team to the agreed Rendezvous Point half an hour earlier.

Xiao Xiao stared blankly at the pale moonlight and starry sky, sighed softly, and couldn't help but ask, "Senior Disciple Sister, what did Zhou Huan do? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

In fact, it wasn't just Xiao Xiao who was curious; Ning Tian and Wu Feng also looked puzzled. Hadn't we agreed to leave first while Xuan Zi and the others went to assassinate Xu Tianran?

However, Zhang Lexuan simply replied, "Don't worry, Zhou Huan will be here soon. He's just going to get some local specialties from Mingdu."

Everyone was speechless. Going to collect local specialties at a time like this? What local specialty could be more important than their lives?

It was obvious that the Senior Disciple Sister didn't want to tell them, so everyone tactfully refrained from asking any further questions.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

It was Zhou Huan who had slipped away from Mingdu City with lightning speed.

Upon seeing Zhou Huan, Xiao Xiao and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, because at this moment they could all feel the powerful Soul Power fluctuations emanating from the sky above the city.

Even from that distance, one could feel wave after wave of terrifying Soul Power, indicating that a battle had already broken out within Mingdu City, and it was a group of Titled Douluo and above fighting.

If not now, when?

Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan didn't waste any more words. They simply reminded everyone not to resist, then they clasped their hands together, and a beam of white light emanated from them, instantly bringing Ma Xiaotao, Xiao Xiao, and the others into the Floating Pagoda.

This was certainly not a Martial Soul Fusion Skill; it was just a show for Xiao Xiao and the others.

Zhou Huan didn't put them on Sunny Island because Ye Guyi was still there.

Therefore, the Shrek Devils were placed in a temporarily created isolated area. Even Ma Xiaotao couldn't sense anything and would only think that she was in a special space.

Afterwards, Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan exchanged a glance before leading her into Sunny Island.

During this time, because she had to deliver food to Ye Guyi, Zhang Lexuan had gotten to know this stubborn girl quite well.

After settling everyone in, Zhou Huan concealed his presence once more and flew towards the Sun Moon Legion in the east.

This was not the first time Zhou Huan had crossed the military defenses in the eastern part of Mingdu.

Last time, we sent the people from the Earth Dragon Gate out of the Mingdu area via this route.

However, this time, Zhou Huan, who was watching from the shadows, saw that the eastern defense line had clearly been reinforced by tens of thousands more soldiers, and that the deployment was more meticulous than before.

In addition, each military camp not only has a large number of Soul Cannon, but also a considerable number of Evil Soul Master at the Soul Sage above.

It's only because a major battle is still raging at the Sun Moon Imperial Palace that these military camps would need to be guarded by more Titled Douluo from the Holy Spirit Cult.

Of course, none of this mattered to Zhou Huan.

Upon seeing the formidable array of the Sun Moon Army, Zhou Huan knew that Xu Tianran was indeed prepared to wage war.

However, it's unclear whether Zhou Huan's emptying of his most important armory will have any repercussions.

It wasn't that Zhou Huan wanted to stop Xu Tianran from starting a war, since he had never been interested in imperial wars from the beginning. It was just that he hadn't yet become the strongest in the Douluo Continent, capable of crushing everything below the god level, so it was better for the war to come a little later.

Looking at the well-equipped Sun Moon Army, Zhou Huan shook his head slightly, deciding not to think about it anymore. It was more important to hurry back to Shrek and hide there.

Imperial wars have absolutely nothing to do with him.

Immediately, Zhou Huan, concealing himself with the Floating Pagoda, passed right through the eastern defense line of the Sun Moon Army without leaving a trace.

The so-called military defense line was no different from a fishing net with a hole in it in front of Zhou Huan.

In just half an hour, with Zhou Huan's current speed as a Level 94 Titled Douluo, he had already far removed himself from the army's defenses in the eastern part of Mingdu.

Then, Zhou Huan led everyone out of the Floating Pagoda.

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings and the fact that they couldn't sense anything from Mingdu, Xiao Xiao and the others were surprised for several seconds.

It wasn't just because Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan could lead them through the Sun Moon Army's defenses without anyone noticing, but also because what kind of absurd Martial Soul Fusion Skill was this, lasting for more than half an hour?

Of course, no one is stupid, and no one would ask Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan about the secrets of Soul Master just because of their own curiosity.

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan said, "Alright, we're temporarily out of danger, but we're still within the territory of the Sun Moon Empire, so we need to hurry up and leave."

Immediately afterwards, the group continued flying southeast towards the Shrek Academy.

This time, Flying Soul Tool was used, so the speed was naturally incomparable to Zhou Huan traveling alone.

It took the Shrek group a full day to fly out of the eastern border of the Sun Moon Empire and back into the Heavenly Soul Empire. It then took them nearly two more days to finally arrive at the Shrek Academy.

Back at the academy, apart from Zhou Huan, Zhang Lexuan, and Ma Xiaotao, the others were mostly too tired to talk. They all went back to their dormitories to rest.

So, Zhou Huan, full of energy, grabbed Zhang Lexuan and flew straight back to Sea God Island.

Zhang Lexuan's home.

As soon as Zhou Huan entered the door, he lay down on the wicker chair in the living room like a grandpa. It wasn't that he was tired, but when he got home, he always had the urge to lie down like a corpse and not want to do anything.

Zhang Lexuan rolled her eyes in exasperation at the sight. She always felt that this guy was usually quite mature, but sometimes he acted like a child. Sigh.

In fact, Zhang Lexuan didn't understand that men are boys until they die, especially someone like Zhou Huan who is a homebody at heart.

Despite Zhou Huan's antics and struggles in the Douluo Continent, everything he does is simply to become stronger.

Strictly speaking, he wanted to be able to control his own life, after all, this was a fantasy world with Deity and where the strong were respected, not the harmonious society of his previous life.

In his past life, he could comfortably be a homebody, no matter how much pressure he faced in life or work, at least he didn't have to worry about Life safety.

But now, in the Douluo World, the Life of mortals are truly as insignificant as ants. If you go out carelessly, you might be caught in the crossfire of a battle between powerful figures and die, or you might encounter an Evil Soul Master or something. Even if you die, no one will care.

Zhou Huan has gradually risen to where he is today, and his own strength has made him no longer worried about being casually killed as a passerby.

This trip to Mingdu, in particular, was very fruitful.

So, it's time to lay low at Shrek for a while and continue to focus on training.

But I just got back today, so I can rest a bit and enjoy some time alone with my girlfriend.

A joyful mood is essential for progress in self-cultivation.

One's thoughts must be clear and unobstructed, otherwise what if one goes astray and becomes possessed by demons?

Yes, that's right, that's the legitimate reason.

This is absolutely not an excuse for being lazy.

Besides, he and his girlfriend were completely innocent and hadn't done anything inappropriate.

So, Master Zhou, who was lying down, looked at Zhang Lexuan and said, "Sister Lexuan, come here for a moment."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan looked puzzled, but still walked over. "What's wrong?"

Before she could react, Zhou Huan pulled her into his arms and kissed her with lightning speed.

"Hmm~~"

After a long while, their lips parted.

Zhang Lexuan's pretty face was still slightly flushed, then she glared at Zhou Huan with annoyance. "Aren't you ashamed of yourself in broad daylight?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan chuckled, "What's there to be ashamed of? It's only natural for me to kiss my own wife in my own home, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan immediately punched Zhou Huan in the chest with her fist and snorted, "What wife? We're not even married yet. Besides, this is my house, not yours."

Zhou Huan immediately asked, "Then when will we get married?"

Zhang Lexuan: "..."

She knew she couldn't mention the word "marriage," otherwise this guy would definitely take advantage of her. Therefore, Zhang Lexuan didn't respond to Zhou Huan's question and instead asked, "Xuan Zi and the others haven't returned yet. Are you sure nothing serious has happened?"

Zhou Huan thought for a moment, and then said, "That depends on how you define 'major event'."

If Wang Dong'er's impending death and her imminent transformation into Tang·Hentie·Wu Tong isn't a big deal, then it's not a big deal at all.

Meanwhile, in the Qiankun Love-Seeking Valley, Huo Gua held the sleeping Wang Dong'er, his face filled with dismay.

From his eyes, it was clear that this kid was on the verge of a mental breakdown from being tortured.

Wang Qiu'er, who was standing opposite him, had tears in her eyes. After a long while, she turned and left without looking back.
