Uncle, I'm So Scared

"I..." Ye Yuan's words stopped at the tip of his tongue.

It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but rather that he himself wasn't entirely sure.

He only knew that he was originally a Twin Martial Souls user, and his other martial soul turned out to be the Candle Dragon Emperor.

He must have just awakened his martial soul, which, like Tang San, had caused his appearance to undergo a tremendous change.

Seeing him hesitate, Ning Rongrong assumed this was his secret and that it was inconvenient for him to speak of it.

"Little Rongrong, I'm going to Heaven Dou Imperial City. Would you like to come along?"

Ye Yuan invited Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong realized that being with this man was too dangerous.

She intended to refuse.

"Hmph, this young lady will accompany you just this once."

At this moment, Ning Rongrong thought to herself: Ahhh, Ning Rongrong, what is wrong with you?

Of course, Ye Yuan didn't invite her for no reason; he had another purpose for bringing Ning Rongrong along.

Ning Rongrong's Sword Grandpa, Chen Xin, was a sword cultivator famous throughout the continent.

As a fellow sword cultivator, Ye Yuan wanted to pay him a visit.

If possible, he also wanted to experience the sword techniques of this Title Douluo.

Of course, there was another reason.

Ever since he took Qian Renxue as his master.

Ye Yuan was already a member of Martial Soul Hall.

In order to strengthen the future power of Martial Soul Hall.

He wanted to pull the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect into the ranks of Martial Soul Hall.

He would also take the opportunity to find his teacher, Qian Renxue, for his second body tempering.

"Then let's go, Little Rongrong," Ye Yuan said softly.

Ning Rongrong shouted, "Wait a second!"

Ye Yuan stopped, "What is it, Little Rongrong?"

"Since you're calling me Little Rongrong, I need to change how I address you as well."

"Hey, why bother with such things?"

Without waiting for Ning Rongrong to speak, Ye Yuan cut in, "How about you call me Hero Ye?"

Ning Rongrong shook her head, "Can you be a bit more serious?"

"You are older than me, hmm..."

"How about... I call you Brother Ye?"

After saying this, Ning Rongrong's face turned visibly red.

Ye Yuan was dazed for a moment, "Brother Ye, huh..."

It had been a while since he heard that title; the last time was when he sent Yan'er to the academy.

He looked into the distance, toward the direction of the Star Luo Empire.

Yan'er, this world has made you suffer...

The autumn wind was desolate, and a breeze brushed through Ye Yuan's long hair.

Ning Rongrong keenly sensed something.

"Is it not okay?" Ning Rongrong asked cautiously.

Ye Yuan snapped out of his daze, "I thought Hero Ye sounded so imposing."

"But... since you want to call me that, I'll leave it up to you."

Ye Yuan flicked his sleeves, "Let's go."

With that, he walked away with a blade of grass in his mouth.

Ning Rongrong quickly followed, not forgetting to glance up at Ye Yuan's profile.

Then, she immediately lowered her head.

She muttered in her heart: Ning Rongrong, you really are a lovesick fool.

If Dad found out, he would tease you again.

The two of them left the Star Dou Great Forest just like that.

The setting sun was like fire, and the sky was gradually darkening.

Ye Yuan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and Ning Rongrong, who was behind him, couldn't react in time and bumped into him.

"Ouch! Brother Ye, why did you suddenly stop?"

Ning Rongrong rubbed her forehead and was the first to voice her question.

She certainly didn't want to tell Ye Yuan that she had been distracted by peeking at him, which was why she hadn't been able to dodge in time.

"I've been wondering why you've been so absent-minded ever since we walked out of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"It's getting late now, so let's find a hotel in the city to stay at first."

Ning Rongrong nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Oh, oh, oh."

"There's a hotel right ahead, let's go check it out."

"Mm."

The two of them walked slowly toward the hotel.

Suddenly, Ye Yuan stopped in his tracks. "A Soul Ancestor?"

They were still some distance away from the Heaven Dou Imperial City and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so a Soul Ancestor was quite a rare sight.

Ye Yuan estimated that this person's strength should be around level 46.

The man had a lecherous appearance and was currently saying goodbye to two other people.

The strength of those two others was also around the level of a Soul Ancestor.

Based on the current timeline, Ye Yuan roughly guessed their identities.

The man with the lecherous appearance in front of him should be Bu Le.

Ye Yuan had no good feelings toward this person.

Relying on his status as a soul master, this man frequently bullied men and oppressed women.

As long as a girl had even a little bit of beauty, he would abduct her.

Sometimes, he would even kill the girls.

He couldn't understand why Tang San had let such a person go back then.

With crimes so heinous they angered both heaven and man, how could a sharp blade show mercy?

Since he had run into him, there was no way he was letting him get away.

Although Bu Le was a Soul Ancestor in his 40s, he was the weakest of the three.

With himself and Ning Rongrong, he had an eighty percent chance of defeating him.

"Rongrong, let's not go there for now, follow me first."

Ning Rongrong: "Eh?"

Before she could ask anything else, Ye Yuan had already walked off.

"Hey, Brother Ye, wait for me!" Ning Rongrong immediately followed after him.

The sky had completely darkened by now.

Bu Le, who had just left the hotel, was walking aimlessly down the street.

He had just parted ways with his two companions.

The three of them had originally agreed to handle some business together, but he hadn't found a woman in several days.

He was itching all over.

So, he began searching for a target on the street.

He didn't know how many times he had done such things, mostly picking on ordinary people.

To Bu Le, these ordinary people were the easiest to manipulate.

Even if he forcibly took a man's wife right in front of him, that man could only grit his teeth.

There was nothing he could do to Bu Le.

This was the rule of this continent; there was a massive chasm between soul masters and ordinary people.

It was just like the difference between nobles and commoners.

Just as he was continuing his search, a young girl wearing a pink dress suddenly caught his eye.

The girl was cute, moving, lively, and spirited.

She even wore a pair of rabbit ears on her head, which looked like decorations.

Bu Le immediately followed her.

"Uncle." A girl's voice made him stop.

Bu Le turned his head, his eyes widening to their limit.

He thought to himself: "Another top-tier beauty! The heavens are truly too good to me, Bu Le!"

"I'll deal with that little girl in pink later; let's take this one down first."

"Anyway, that little girl won't be able to leave this city for a while."

"Uncle, I'm lost. Could you help me find my mommy?"

Her voice was delicate, with a hint of coquettishness in her tone.

Her appearance made it impossible for anyone not to feel a sense of pity and affection.

"Alright, little sister, Uncle will take you away... no, I mean, take you to find your mommy."

"Come with Uncle."

After saying that, he led her away.

Bu Le kept licking his lips along the way.

Before long, Bu Le brought Ning Rongrong to a secluded, deserted alley.

"Uncle, it's so dark here. Where is Mommy?"

"I'm so scared..."

She hugged her shoulders, looking as if she were trembling.

Bu Le revealed a completely lecherous expression.

"Don't be afraid, little sister. Uncle is here to comfort you."

With that, he walked toward Ning Rongrong.

"Uncle, what are you doing?" The girl kept backing away.

"What am I doing?"

"Of course, I'm doing something that will make us both happy."

Just as Bu Le reached his hand out toward Ning Rongrong, she suddenly stood up straight.

She shouted, "Second Soul Skill, Agility Boost!"

She was none other than the Ning Rongrong who had been with Ye Yuan just moments ago.

"Yo-ho, so you're a soul master."

"Uncle happens to love crushing flowers!"

"First Soul Skill, River Severing!"
