My Martial Soul is My Fiancée in Douluo

She certainly wanted to cultivate, but the toxins were still present.

Speaking of Spirit Power, she had already reached level eighteen! Thinking of this made her exceptionally happy; after all, she was still so young.

She truly wished she could have another dozen encounters like the Valley of Love and Emotion!

At this moment, inside Zheng Li's Sea of Consciousness.

"How is Baobao doing today?"

"Not much different."

Zheng Li was naturally asking about the Night Glow Beast, Baobao.

Because he and Xiao Nai had killed Baobao's parent back then, Baobao's hatred was quite significant.

Of course, Baobao had also come to understand the full story. Knowing the law of the jungle, its hatred had diminished somewhat; if it were in their shoes, it would have done the same.

What it was extremely dissatisfied with was that master-servant contract.

Why were Zheng Li and the others the masters? It, Baobao, wanted to turn the tables! It wanted to be the master.

However, the consequence of throwing a tantrum was being disciplined by Xiao Nai many times over. In Xiao Nai's words, it was just two words.

Asking for a beating!

It even overshadowed the guilt they felt toward Baobao.

Zheng Li and Xiao Nai didn't want to rely solely on the contract to bind Baobao, so they thought about winning it over and making it their partner.

However, progress was not going very smoothly.

Zheng Li looked at Xiao Nai, who was stroking Baobao's fur, feeling quite helpless.

Xiao Nai was petting it quite comfortably.

But those golden eyes of Baobao were filled with rejection and disdain.

"Take it slow." Zheng Li smiled and reached out to stroke the head of the creature in Xiao Nai's arms.

"Chirp!"

To his surprise, Baobao moved instantly and bit down hard on his finger.

Abominable ugly human! You want to make Baobao submit? That's impossible!

Zheng Li: "..."

If it weren't for the fact that Baobao couldn't harm him, he didn't doubt that his finger would have been bitten off just now.

Well, harboring a heart of guilt, he naturally wouldn't hold it against the creature.

"Hoo~"

In the morning, Zheng Li stretched his back. After a night of cultivation, he felt refreshed and invigorated!

This also made him feel the miraculous nature of the Spirit Sutra more and more.

Waking up the little girl who was still lazing in bed and finishing their meal, they continued on their way.

After all, they were in the Sun Moon Empire, and knowing the future, he couldn't afford to be careless.

After buying a carriage pulled by two horses, they set off on their journey according to the route Zheng Li had planned.

Zheng Li knew a little bit about driving a carriage.

Because when he was young, he had learned to drive a donkey cart from his grandfather; although there were differences between horses and donkeys, it was mostly the same.

The little girl insisted on sitting outside, and since Zheng Li couldn't refuse her, he agreed.

"Hey, I'm asking you, Zheng Li, do you actually know how to do this?"

After the third mistake, Wang Xin'er frowned and asked.

"Let me get familiar with it again; it's been a long time since I've driven one." Zheng Li wiped away cold sweat.

This was not easy!

However, Zheng Li still had a talent for this. After getting familiar with it, they soon exited the east gate of Lunye City.

However, they did not know that just as they left the city gate, a dozen people dressed in ordinary clothes had set their sights on them.

Seeing Zheng Li move further away, they exchanged glances, then quietly left their spots and pursued them from several different directions.

Nearly an hour later, they were already quite a distance from Lunye City.

Wang Xin'er's mood was clearly good, and she was even humming an unknown tune.

The carriage was moving rapidly.

Suddenly, a massive pressure descended like a torrential downpour. The two ordinary horses collapsed instantly, and the carriage tilted forward due to inertia.

At this moment, Zheng Li's reaction was not slow. He grabbed Wang Xin'er's hand, pushed off the wooden floor with his right foot, and leaped out, escaping the carriage.

After landing on the ground, Zheng Li frowned and looked at the sky. A person was standing there silently, eight rings fully displayed; even without the pressure, it gave off an intimidating aura.

The pressure was not deliberately aimed at them, otherwise, whether Zheng Li could have leaped out would have been another matter.

"What's going on? Were we discovered by that group of evil cultists?"

Wang Xin'er asked with concern.

Zheng Li shook his head, his expression grave as he said in a low voice, "I don't know."

Bandits? Robbers? How could that be! One had to realize this was a Spirit Douluo-level powerhouse; surely they wouldn't stoop to such deeds.

Just as Wang Xin'er was about to say something more, several people appeared silently, surrounding Zheng Li and the girl. The weakest among them was at least a Spirit King!

Damn it!

Was his first reincarnation really going to be forced upon him?

Wang Xin'er was stunned at the sight. Realizing there was no hope of escape, she wailed, "My luck is just too terrible! I haven't even been in a relationship yet, you jerk!"

Zheng Li glanced at Wang Xin'er, feeling nothing but pure admiration! Was this really the time for that?

Just then, the middle-aged Spirit Douluo in the sky slowly descended. He was a rather handsome man, his eyes fixed on Wang Xin'er behind Zheng Li, filled with joy.

It was just that Zheng Li hadn't noticed this.

Damn! Zheng Li cursed inwardly, circulating his Spirit Power and preparing to fight for his life, even though he knew it would be useless against a Spirit Douluo...

However, the next moment, after the middle-aged Spirit Douluo landed and locked eyes with Zheng Li for a few seconds, he actually bowed slightly toward Wang Xin'er, who was peeking out from behind Zheng Li. To the astonishment of both Zheng Li and Wang Xin'er, he said, "Young Miss, we have finally found you!"

Hearing this, Wang Xin'er froze, tilting her head in confusion.

"Huh?!"

Chapter 57, Zheng Li: The Art of Disguise...

"Young Miss!"

After the middle-aged Spirit Douluo bowed, the others also bowed slightly and called out.

Zheng Li: "..."

He turned his head to look at the bewildered, blank-faced little girl, his mouth twitching.

Zheng Li slapped the back of the girl's head: "What are you 'huh-ing' for! Aren't these people from your family? Don't you recognize them?"

Taking the hit, the little girl froze again, then looked up with a mix of grievance and anger: "Damn Zheng Li, why are you being so fierce! I've never seen them before, okay! How would I recognize them?"

The middle-aged Spirit Douluo straightened up and looked at Zheng Li expressionlessly. If he hadn't spent the entire journey tracking them and discovering that Zheng Li and the Young Miss had a good relationship, he would have tied Zheng Li up just for that slap!

Of course, if he had determined that Zheng Li was involved in kidnapping the Young Miss, then...

He couldn't be reckless before confirming things; after all, Zheng Li might be the Young Miss's benefactor.

The others just watched quietly, their inner thoughts unknown.

Hearing Wang Xin'er's words, Zheng Li was speechless. Even if you are a Young Miss, there's no reason to ignore a Spirit Douluo from your own household! Even if they were from the Imperial family, you should have seen them at least once growing up!

At this moment, the middle-aged Spirit Douluo stepped forward and wiped his hand across his face, actually changing his appearance entirely, leaving Zheng Li stunned.

Wang Xin'er was also slightly taken aback, then cried out in pleasant surprise: "Uncle Xiao, so it was you! I was wondering why your voice sounded so familiar."

The middle-aged Spirit Douluo nodded and said, "It is me, but please, Young Miss, call me Uncle Xiao."

"Okay, Uncle Xiao!" Wang Xin'er said with a smile, throwing herself into the middle-aged man's arms, looking very intimate.

"Uncle Xiao, I was so scared these past few days, thinking all the while that someone would surely save me, but who knew..."

Wang Xin'er said aggrievedly.

Who knew that she would never see anyone come.

The middle-aged Spirit Douluo patted Wang Xin'er's back, apologetically saying, "I'm sorry, Young Miss. It is Uncle Xiao who arrived late."

When Zheng Li finally reacted, he mentally shouted "Holy crap."

Was this one of the four great mystical arts, the Art of Disguise?

Impressive... absolutely flawless!

Even the girl herself, who was so close to him, hadn't recognized him.

But none of that mattered; what mattered was that he was finally safe. That was no small feat!

Zheng Li felt like crying, having truly thought he was about to reincarnate...

Wang Xin'er and the middle-aged Spirit Douluo chatted for quite a while before realizing something. She then turned to look at Zheng Li and happily introduced him to the middle-aged man:

"Oh right, Uncle Xiao, I forgot to introduce you. This is Zheng Li. He is also from our Star Luo Empire and is a student at Shrek! We were kidnapped together. Although he didn't save me, he helped me a lot along the way."

It wasn't Zheng Li who saved her, but the Valley of Love and Emotion.

The Valley of Love and Emotion had wiped out the Spirit Saint Elder and teleported the elder's lackeys to who knows where.

That was why Zheng Li and the others hadn't run into those lackeys after leaving.

Or, if one were to dig deeper, should they thank that Marquis from the Sun Moon Empire for activating the Valley of Love and Emotion?

Of course, Zheng Li naturally knew nothing about the Marquis.

Hearing Wang Xin'er's introduction, the wariness in the middle-aged Spirit Douluo's eyes faded by more than half, and he gave a subtle look to the others.

The others understood, retracted their spirit rings and Martial Souls, and walked behind the middle-aged Spirit Douluo.

Zheng Li: "..."

He saw things quite clearly, hmm, he was rather cautious...

Wang Xin'er did not notice, and after introducing Zheng Li, she walked over to his side and pulled him in front of the middle-aged Spirit Douluo: "Zheng Li, this is my Uncle Xiao, named Xiao Xiao. He treats me very well, and by the way, he isn't part of the royal family."

Zheng Li nodded and said: "Senior Xiao, hello."

Xiao Xiao smiled faintly and replied: "Hello, Zheng Li. Thank you for taking care of my little miss."

Zheng Li shook his head: "It's nothing, just some small matters."

"I say, Uncle Xiao, Zheng Li, can you two stop being so polite?" Wang Xin'er said, pouting.

For some reason, she felt as if a barrier had suddenly sprung up between her and Zheng Li, and it made her uncomfortable.

"The little miss is right. Little brother, let's drop the formalities." Xiao Xiao nodded with a smile, then looked around: "Little miss, we are currently within the borders of the Sun Moon Empire. The Sun Moon Empire is at odds with our three original Douluo empires, and I frequently appear along the border lines, so many city lords in the Sun Moon Empire recognize me. That is the reason for my disguise. Let us get moving first; how about we talk in detail once we reach the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Xiao Xiao was also full of questions, such as how Zheng Li and the little miss had managed to escape.

The enemy was truly cunning, and they had followed the clues all the way to Lunye City.

Come to think of it, some of the routes Zheng Li chose happened to align with the path the Spirit Saint Elder had taken to get here. If Zheng Li had chosen to bypass Sun Moon City from the south, they would never have crossed paths.

Fate is truly mysterious.

Some of Xiao Xiao's men were currently searching Lunye City, while Xiao Xiao himself guarded the city gate to prevent any suspicious characters who might have kidnapped the little miss from slipping out, as they couldn't afford to miss them if that happened.

They had done the same at every city they encountered along the way, not letting a single one go.

Zheng Li: So that is why you wasted so much time...

"Alright, Uncle Xiao. I don't feel very safe in the Sun Moon Empire either." Wang Xin'er readily agreed.
