The Vile Three Scoundrels Meet Their End

After leaving the Soto Grand Spirit Arena, Ye Liangchen and Zhu Zhu Qing headed toward the street where the Rose Grand Hotel was located.

"Brother Chen, you're amazing. We didn't lose a single bet today."

Zhu Zhu Qing's face bloomed with a sweet smile, and she was in an exceptionally good mood. Ye Liangchen had directly given her 80,000 Gold Soul Coins this time. If she found somewhere to live in seclusion and spent carefully, it would be enough to last her a lifetime.

When she had escaped from the Zhu Family, she had only brought a few hundred Gold Soul Coins with her, and even those had been given to her by her aunt. Ever since she met Ye Liangchen, her life had taken off.

"Zhu Qing, money is merely something external. Don't take it too seriously. As Soul Masters, improving our cultivation is what matters most."

All the money Ye Liangchen had won today had come from cheating, so he did not care much about money that had practically blown in on the wind.

"I understand, Brother Chen. Let's go."

Seeing Ye Liangchen's indifferent demeanor, Zhu Zhu Qing knew he did not care about money. He had done all this today solely to earn money for her. Thinking of that made her heart feel sweet. She took Ye Liangchen's hand and walked forward with him.

It was already late. There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets, while the streetlamps on both sides cast faint light over the road.

"Ah...! Help..."

Just as Ye Liangchen and Zhu Zhu Qing entered a street, a woman's cry for help suddenly came from an alley ahead, but the sound quickly vanished.

"Brother Chen, that sounded like Xiao Rou, the staff member from the Spirit Duel Arena."

Zhu Zhu Qing had excellent hearing and immediately recognized the voice. After all, they had gotten to know that beautiful staff member today.

"Come on. Let's save her."

Ye Liangchen led Zhu Zhu Qing as they sprinted toward the alley. His Spiritual Sense spread out, and he quickly discovered three figures in a corner. The beautiful staff member had already fainted.

"Zhu Qing, over there."

Following the direction detected by his Spiritual Sense, Ye Liangchen dashed forward, with Zhu Zhu Qing following closely behind.

Half a minute later, the two rushed into a dead-end alley and found three lecherous men preparing to tear off Xiao Rou's clothes.

"Let her go."

Zhu Zhu Qing gave a sharp cry, immediately activated Martial Soul Possession, and charged forward.

"Kehehehe...! I never expected such a top-notch beauty to come to us."

"Bu Le, Tian Ya, she's a cat-eared girl! What a beauty!"

"Huh! Why is there a man too?"

"E Kao, Tian Ya, that man is also a Soul Master. Kill him. I'll deal with the cat-eared girl."

These three were Suotuo City's Vile Three Scoundrels: Bu Le, Tian Ya, and E Kao. All three were Soul Masters. Bu Le's Soul Power had reached level 46, and his Martial Soul was a pair of strange pink covers. Tian Ya's Martial Soul was a cleaver, and his Soul Power was as high as level 51. E Kao's Martial Soul was a strange goose, and he had also reached the strength of a Soul Ancestor.

The three often committed petty theft in Suotuo City, abducted respectable women, and committed every evil imaginable, earning themselves the title of the Soto City Three Scoundrels.

Bu Le had a long, thin face like a skeleton, with green light shining from his eyes. He looked incomparably lecherous. E Kao was even uglier, with a rooster-like crest on his head and eyes swollen like blisters. Each was more repulsive than the other. The short man in the hat looked fairly normal, but green light also gleamed in his eyes.

At this moment, all three had activated Martial Soul Possession. Tian Ya had five Spirit Rings glowing around him—one white, one yellow, and three purple—and held a green cleaver in his hand.

After E Kao activated Martial Soul Possession, goose feathers covered his arms, his mouth became a goose beak, and many swollen blisters appeared around his eyes. Combined with the rooster crest atop his head, he looked like a lion-head goose. His Spirit Ring configuration was also white, yellow, purple, and purple. Bu Le had a pair of pink covers above his head, resembling certain items women used. His Spirit Rings were the same as E Kao's.

Tian Ya and E Kao walked toward Ye Liangchen, while Bu Le pounced at Zhu Zhu Qing.

"Kehehehe...! Kid, you interrupted the good time of us three brothers. Go to hell!"

Seeing that Ye Liangchen had not even activated his Martial Soul, Tian Ya and E Kao assumed he had been scared stupid.

"Little Cat! Big brother's coming."

When Bu Le saw Zhu Zhu Qing's cat-eared appearance, a blazing heat surged through his body and shot straight to his head. Green light gleamed from his mung-bean-like eyes, and drool kept spilling from the corners of his mouth. He was like a wolf that had encountered a lamb.

"Zhu Qing, be careful."

Seeing that Tian Ya, who wielded a cleaver, was actually a Soul King, Ye Liangchen did not plan to drag out the fight. If they fought for too long, they might alert the patrol.

He immediately took out Chicken Dinner King HK416 and fired at them with lightning speed.

Chicken Dinner King HK416's safety was always off, and Ye Liangchen's shooting had become increasingly refined. He completed a double kill in less than a second. Tian Ya and E Kao had no time to react before they were struck.

After taking care of the two men, Ye Liangchen quickly put away Chicken Dinner King HK416 and took out a longsword to keep up appearances.

"Pfft... Pfft..."

"Ahhh..."

Two faint sounds rang out, and Tian Ya and E Kao instantly collapsed. There was a large hole in each of their hearts, and they died on the spot.

The sudden change also startled Bu Le awake just as he was about to make his move on Zhu Zhu Qing.

"E Kao... Tian Ya..."

Seeing his two companions fall in an instant, Bu Le's expression changed drastically. He rushed over to inspect them.

"Kid, you're courting death."

Seeing that his two companions had stopped breathing, Bu Le fixed his mung-bean-like eyes on Ye Liangchen and roared in fury as he launched a Spirit Ability attack.

Death Shroud.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Ye Liangchen used the Five Elements Tracing Steps to evade Bu Le's First Spirit Ability.

"Zhu Qing, hurry and save Xiao Rou."

"Okay, Brother Chen."

Ye Liangchen shouted to Zhu Zhu Qing, then summoned the Chun Jun Sword and charged at Bu Le with the Five Elements Tracing Steps.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Ye Liangchen's sudden attack made Bu Le sense danger, and he immediately retreated several steps.

Sky Net Double Cover.

A pair of enormous pink covers descended toward Ye Liangchen, releasing pink mist filled with a bewitching aura. Bu Le himself hid within the fog.

Sky Net Double Cover was an illusion-type Spirit Ability that could confuse opponents.

"Kehehehe...! Kid, now that you've fallen into my Sky Net Double Cover, you're dead for sure. I'll avenge my two companions, then properly enjoy that cat-eared girl."

Bu Le's lecherous voice rang out from the mist. He felt that victory was already in his grasp.

"Whoosh..."

Illusion Breaking Divine Light.

Golden light shot from Ye Liangchen's eyes, instantly breaking Bu Le's Sky Net Double Cover.

"Crack..."

The two enormous covers shattered directly, and the pink mist also dispersed.

"What?" Bu Le's Spirit Ability had been broken, and he was immediately terrified as he kept backing away.

Sky-Rending Cross Slash.

Ye Liangchen activated his Left Arm Spirit Bone to test the power of this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. He had absorbed it for so long without trying it out that he had nearly forgotten about it.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Several cross-shaped blades shot from Ye Liangchen's left arm, carrying immense power as they slashed toward Bu Le.

"Bang, bang..."

"Ah... No..."

Facing an attack from a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, Bu Le's level 46 Soul Power could not withstand it at all. He was instantly cut into several pieces.

"Brother Chen..."

From a distance, Zhu Zhu Qing finally let out a sigh of relief after seeing Bu Le slain.

When Ye Liangchen came over to Zhu Zhu Qing, he found that Xiao Rou was still unconscious. He stretched out his hand and injected Soul Power into several acupoints on her body. Before long, Xiao Rou slowly woke up.

"Ah! You saved me."

Xiao Rou found herself lying in Zhu Zhu Qing's arms, then saw the three male corpses in the distance and immediately understood.

"We need to leave quickly. The patrol will arrive soon."

Ye Liangchen gave Xiao Rou a Spirit Power Pill to replenish her strength. What had happened earlier had nearly scared her senseless, and she had no strength left in her body.

The two led Xiao Rou away from the narrow alley. Just ten minutes after they left, some nearby residents brought a patrol team to the alley and discovered the three corpses, one of which had been cut into several pieces.

"Huh! Aren't these the Vile Three Scoundrels our Captain has been searching for for days? I didn't expect someone to kill these three bastards."

"I wonder which heroic figure did it. It certainly saved our Patrol Team some trouble."

The patrol quickly took out bags and packed up the bodies of the Vile Three Scoundrels. Their movements were extremely practiced, clearly showing they had often done this sort of work.

After leaving the alley, Xiao Rou respectfully bowed to Ye Liangchen and Zhu Zhu Qing. "Thank you, benefactor and miss, for saving me."

"You're welcome. Where do you live? We'll take you home."

It was late at night, and Ye Liangchen and Zhu Zhu Qing did not feel at ease letting the woman walk alone on the streets, so they decided to escort her home.

"Thank you. My name is Xiao Rou, and I live on 9th Street..."

Xiao Rou told them where she lived. Thinking about how close she had come to disaster today, she knew that if these two benefactors had not intervened, she might have already been violated by the Vile Three Scoundrels. Her Life might even have been in danger.

"Xiao Rou, make sure you don't tell anyone that we got rid of those three villains. Remember to keep it secret for us."

Ye Liangchen warned her, since Suotuo City's patrol would sooner or later discover that the Three Musketeers were dead.

"Rest assured, benefactor! Xiao Rou won't tell anyone."

"Those three looked like the Vile Three Scoundrels Manager Ao mentioned. They often committed petty theft, abducted respectable women, and committed every evil imaginable. Their reputation was rotten. By getting rid of them, benefactor, you've eliminated a scourge for the people."

Xiao Rou also told them of the Three Musketeers' crimes, which made Zhu Zhu Qing extremely angry.

"Why don't the authorities arrest such terrible people?"

Xiao Rou shook her head. "They're all Soul Masters. They hide during the day and only come out at night, so the authorities have a hard time finding them."

After weaving through the streets for half an hour, the three finally arrived at 9th Street. The houses here were not especially luxurious. Xiao Rou lived in a rented two-story building.

She herself came from a small village outside Suotuo City. To make work more convenient, she rented a small building on this street. Once she saved enough money, she would be able to buy a luxurious home in the center of Suotuo City.

Xiao Rou told Ye Liangchen and Zhu Zhu Qing about her dream, wearing a bright smile.

"Then I hope you achieve your dream soon. We'll be going now."

"Benefactor and miss, please come in and sit for a while, so Xiao Rou can thank you properly."

"No need. Be more careful in the future."

After safely escorting the woman home, Ye Liangchen and Zhu Zhu Qing bid Xiao Rou farewell and headed straight back to the Rose Hotel.

Watching Ye Liangchen and Zhu Zhu Qing disappear at the end of the street, Xiao Rou bowed in the direction they had left.

"Benefactor, the ten thousand Gold Soul Coins you gave me have already made Xiao Rou's dream come true. Xiao Rou has no way to repay you. May you and that miss remain safe for your entire lives and stay united forever."

Ye Liangchen had not expected that after coming to this other world, he would encounter a girl striving for a house. It reminded him of the young people on Blue Star who struggled so hard for homes in his previous life. It was truly strange.

"Brother Chen, Xiao Rou's dream is only to own a luxurious house. What is your dream?"

Zhu Zhu Qing tilted her head, staring curiously at Ye Liangchen with her beautiful eyes.

"My dream is to stand at the pinnacle of this world, then change it and create a world where ordinary people can live with dignity."

Ye Liangchen looked into the distance, and an aura of supreme dominance erupted from him. Little Cat beside him was left staring in a daze, stars seemingly shining in her beautiful eyes. At that moment, she felt that the young man before her was incredibly tall.

"Brother Chen, your dream is so great. I believe you can do it."

Zhu Zhu Qing did not know why, but she simply felt that the young man before her would definitely accomplish it.

"Hehe! Little Cat, I was just bragging. You actually believed me?"

Seeing that Zhu Zhu Qing had already become a little fangirl, Ye Liangchen was speechless. This girl had completely fallen for him.

"Brother Chen, a woman's intuition tells me that you'll definitely be able to do it."

"What woman? You're just a girl right now."

"Brother Chen, you're awful. You're just a boy too!"

The two chatted happily as they headed toward the Rose Hotel. Under the faint lamplight, they left behind two beautiful shadows.
