Little Cat's Choice

Ye Liangchen looked at the five killers lying on the ground and shook his head helplessly. This was the second time he had killed enemies since coming to this other world, and he was gradually getting used to it.

"You people do nothing but fight and kill all day. So annoying." After grumbling, Ye Liangchen took a shovel out of his Soul Tool, dug up a pile of dirt, and buried the killers. Zhu Zhu Qing came over too and helped out.

"Hey, Little Cat, are you scared after seeing these killers die?"

Ye Liangchen was surprised to see that this Little Cat had not left, and had even taken the initiative to help.

"What's there to be scared of? We're Soul Masters. Facing scenes like this is normal." Zhu Zhu Qing forcibly suppressed the nausea in her heart and continued helping dig the dirt.

"I once ran into a gang of bandits looting a small village. To save the villagers, I took action and got rid of those villains. When I saw them fall, I also felt sick, but to save those villagers, that was all I could do."

"We Soul Masters will have to face killing sooner or later. Situations like this will happen often in the future."

Ye Liangchen told Zhu Zhu Qing that when he first got rid of evildoers, he had also felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

"I understand."

Zhu Zhu Qing calmed herself down. She had seen dead people back at home before, but back then she had been far away, never in such close contact.

After finishing all that, Ye Liangchen prepared to leave the place.

"I originally wanted to have a meal of roasted Wild Boar Meat, but with several killers dead here, it's really unlucky."

"Little Cat, where are you going?"

Ye Liangchen asked Zhu Zhu Qing. Although he knew she would go to Shrek Academy, he still asked to see whether she had any other ideas.

"I haven't decided where to go for now. Where are you going? I'll go with you."

Zhu Zhu Qing stared at Ye Liangchen's handsome face. She did not mind him calling her Little Cat.

At that moment, she thought of what her young aunt had once said to her: work hard to survive, break free from the cage of fate, and hope that you can find your own happiness.

Zhu Zhu Qing had once witnessed Ye Liangchen's wondrous fist techniques and swordsmanship. On top of that, this time she had seen him instantly kill five killers, three of whom were Soul Kings. Such heaven-defying ability moved her heart.

After finally seeing this young man again, how could Zhu Zhu Qing let such an opportunity slip by? She planned to follow him for a while. Perhaps later, she could even learn some Martial Skills from him.

"Didn't you say you came to look for someone?"

Ye Liangchen was stunned when he heard that this girl wanted to follow him. Wasn't she supposed to go to Shrek Academy? How had she ended up following him?

"I'll talk about looking for someone later! Where are you going? Let me come with you!"

Zhu Zhu Qing quietly looked at Ye Liangchen, anticipation showing in her eyes. She really wanted to tell this young man some of the words in her heart, but being shy, she was too embarrassed to say them for now.

"All right, then! Let's leave here first."

After Ye Liangchen finished speaking, he walked straight ahead, and Zhu Zhu Qing followed behind him.

"Ye Liangchen, what level is your Soul Power now?"

Zhu Zhu Qing remembered that when she had met him a few years ago, his strength had already been very powerful. His spirit was also incredibly beautiful, and she really wanted to see it again.

"I'm a level 39 Soul Elder now."

"Bzz, bzz..."

Ye Liangchen directly released his Goddess Spirit. Three spirit rings—yellow, purple, and black—slowly rose, flashing one after another, incomparably dazzling.

"Yellow, purple, black? A thousand-year Second Soul Ring? A Ten Thousand Year Third Spirit Ring?"

"Heavens! You... how did you do that?"

When Zhu Zhu Qing saw Ye Liangchen's unbelievable spirit ring configuration, she was utterly dumbfounded. Her little mouth opened wide like the letter "O."

"It's all right! Just so-so."

Ye Liangchen calmly put away his spirit. Looking at her shocked and yearning expression, he was certain that she definitely had thoughts of her own now.

"Ye Liangchen, I want to learn from you. Will you teach me?"

"Don't worry, I won't learn for free. I'll repay you in the future."

At this moment, Zhu Zhu Qing made up her mind. She had to follow this young man to cultivate so she could survive in the future. As for that so-called engagement with Dai Mu Bai, she threw it to the back of her mind. Nothing was more important than staying alive.

Damn! I hadn't even invited Little Cat yet, and she came over on her own.

"You really want to learn cultivation from me? Why?" Ye Liangchen pretended to be very curious, though he actually understood her thoughts.

"Mm! I just want to become stronger, then survive."

"Don't worry. I won't let you lose out. I'll definitely repay you in the future."

Zhu Zhu Qing stared fixedly at Ye Liangchen with her beautiful big eyes, hoping very much that he would agree to her request. This was her only chance to become stronger, and she had to seize it.

"Then come directly to our Skywater Academy later! When the time comes, I can teach you."

Seeing that this girl was determined to follow him, Ye Liangchen did not plan to ask anything more, so he directly proposed that she join Skywater Academy.

"But doesn't Skywater Academy only accept water-attribute Soul Masters?"

"And you're a man. Can you be at Skywater Academy too?"

Zhu Zhu Qing was overjoyed when she heard that he had agreed, but the fact that he wanted her to join Skywater Academy made her very curious.

"I actually grew up in Skywater Academy. When I was six, Aunt Lan also arranged for me to enroll and attend school with a group of girls. But I only spent three months learning all the knowledge the academy was going to teach. After that, I never went to class for even a single day and cultivated alone at home."

"You learned everything in three months? I think you were just too embarrassed to go to school with a bunch of girls, weren't you?"

Hearing that Ye Liangchen had stopped attending after only three months, Zhu Zhu Qing immediately guessed that he must have felt embarrassed, and found it very funny.

"Little Cat, if you really are willing to join Skywater Academy, I'll talk to Aunt Lan afterward. She'll agree to let you in."

"Back then in the Star Dou Forest, you met my Aunt Lan too. She's the dean of Skywater Academy. Our Skywater Academy now has a Super Titled Douluo powerhouse, so after you enter the academy, you can cultivate in peace and won't have to worry about any safety issues."

Ye Liangchen made it clear to Zhu Zhu Qing that the current Skywater Academy's high-end combat strength was no weaker than the Upper Three Sects, giving her reassurance so she would have no worries.

"Skywater Academy is a paradise for us female Soul Masters. I'm willing to join."

"Ye Liangchen, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Hearing that Skywater Academy's strength was actually so formidable, to the point that it even had a Super Titled Douluo, Zhu Zhu Qing agreed to join at once without even thinking.

At that moment, she was extremely excited. Now she finally had a place to settle down, and no longer had to live every day in fear.

Seeing that this handsome, sunny young man was willing to take her in, Zhu Zhu Qing very much wanted to rush over and give him a hug, but a woman's reserve made her too embarrassed. If she did that, he might think she was an easy woman.

The young man before her could be described as perfect. Sword-like brows and starry eyes, bright eyes and white teeth, a heart as clear as a mirror and eyes like the stars—there was not the slightest flaw in that handsome face, making even Zhu Zhu Qing, as a woman, feel ashamed of her own inferiority.

And when he saw her explosive figure, there was not the slightest trace of lust in his gaze. It was still incomparably clear and pure. Living in Skywater Academy, surrounded by beauties, he had actually not fallen into depravity. He was an unparalleled good man!

Add to that his unrivaled talent and strength, which placed him far beyond his peers, and a man like this was simply the finest of the finest. There was no young woman who would not be moved. Zhu Zhu Qing was only human, and she was the same.

"Zhu Zhu Qing, what Soul Power Level are you at now?"

When Ye Liangchen was six, he had given her several Body Tempering Pills. He had no idea what changes she had undergone over the past few years.

"I'm only at Soul Power Level 28. My spirit ring configuration is just the standard one: the first ring is four hundred years, the second ring is seven hundred years. I can't compare to you. My first spirit came from a..."

"Meow-ao..."

Zhu Zhu Qing displayed her Martial Soul and even introduced her spirit rings and spirit skills to Ye Liangchen. If she wanted to learn from him, she had to show sincerity.

"Your soul power has reached the peak of level 28. You'll be close to level 29 very soon."

Seeing this girl introduce her spirit rings and spirit skills to him without hesitation, Ye Liangchen thought that the Body Tempering Pills he had given her a few years ago had finally shown a little effect.

Brother Dai Mu Bai, Little Cat has run away. From now on, she has nothing to do with you. In the future, you can only keep being your playboy self!

Ye Liangchen had originally thought Zhu Zhu Qing would go to Shrek Academy. He had not expected that after he had merely displayed a bit of strength, she would come straight to his side.

This was fine too. It saved some unnecessary trouble. It seemed everything he had done when he was six had already made this girl choose.

The two raced through the forest while talking about various things. Before they knew it, more than half a day had passed, and Zhu Zhu Qing had gradually put down the burden in her heart. She had become much more cheerful as well, and smiles even appeared on her face from time to time. To be precise, she had been infected by Ye Liangchen's sunny personality.

After all, if such a good-looking handsome guy was chatting and laughing in front of you, it really would not be appropriate for you to keep wearing a miserable expression.

Men felt happy when they saw beautiful women, and women likewise felt happy when they saw handsome men—especially a super-handsome man with an open and cheerful personality. That made the mood even better.

Ye Liangchen did not stay idle along the way either. Whenever he saw fine medicinal herbs, he picked them directly and stored them in his Soul Tool.

"Ye Liangchen, are you picking these medicinal herbs to refine medicine?" Zhu Zhu Qing asked curiously.

"That's right! I'm gathering these herbs to refine pills."

After Ye Liangchen finished speaking, he directly took out two Spirit Power Pills and handed them to Zhu Zhu Qing.

"Try them. These are Spirit Power Pills I refined. They can restore soul power."

Zhu Zhu Qing accepted the Spirit Power Pills. Smelling that rich medicinal fragrance, she swallowed one without hesitation. In any case, she trusted Ye Liangchen very much now and believed he would not harm her.

"Mmnh!"

The pill melted as soon as it entered her mouth, turning into pure soul power that surged into every part of her body, causing Zhu Zhu Qing to be unable to help letting out a soft moan.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Just then, an aura burst out from Zhu Zhu Qing's body, directly letting her break through her bottleneck, and her soul power also rose to level 29.

"I broke through to level 29."

"Ye Liangchen, thank you."

Feeling her own Soul Power Level, Zhu Zhu Qing was deeply moved. Some soft place in her heart seemed to have been touched, and she could not help shedding a few tears.

"Why are you crying? Your soul power leveled up. You should be happy."

Wasn't it said that this Little Cat had a cold personality? How had she become like this? Ye Liangchen's head was filled with question marks at that moment.

"I... I'm just too excited." Zhu Zhu Qing turned around and quietly wiped away her tears, but her heart felt very sweet.

At that moment, Zhu Zhu Qing's pretty face, full of collagen, instantly turned bright red like a red apple, making one unable to resist wanting to take a bite.

"You're only level 29 now. Work hard and try to rise to level 30 within two months. Then you'll be able to obtain your third spirit ring."

"Ye Liangchen, thank you for helping me. I'll repay this kindness."

"It's nothing. Don't take it to heart. It's almost evening. Let's find a place to make a fire and cook. We'll be spending the night in the mountains today."

Ye Liangchen said this calmly, then beckoned Zhu Zhu Qing to follow.

Looking at Ye Liangchen's tall and handsome back, Zhu Zhu Qing immediately followed. As long as she could become stronger, nothing else mattered.
