Martial Soul City.
In front of Qinghui Hall, a carriage had already been prepared.
Ling Xi stood beside the carriage, handing a travel bag to Ling Xiao.
Her eyes were filled with worry:
"Boss, take care on this journey. I will cultivate diligently in Martial Soul Hall and wait for your return."
"Mn."
Ling Xiao took the bag.
Looking at Ling Xi, he instructed:
"Do not worry too much; just focus on your cultivation and breaking through to level sixteen."
"If you encounter anything you cannot resolve, go to the main hall and find Master."
"Yes, this subordinate will remember."
This was the first time she had been separated from her boss for so long since she began following him, so she naturally felt reluctant.
However, she also understood that she could not follow him and become a burden.
Only by cultivating well could she become the boss's true right-hand woman as soon as possible.
Hu Liena, standing to the side, couldn't help but tease:
"Alright, Ling Xi, you can set your heart at ease."
"With me here, and Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo accompanying us, nothing will go wrong!"
As she spoke, she raised a hand and patted her chest.
She turned to look at Chrysanthemum Douluo beside her and raised an eyebrow: "Right, Senior Yue Guan?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan wore a fawning and respectful smile:
"The Saintess is correct. With this subordinate here, I will certainly ensure both adults remain perfectly safe."
He restrained the pressure of a Title Douluo, looking just like an ordinary soul master.
Following Bibi Dong's instructions, everything for this trip was kept simple, with only him accompanying them.
With a level ninety-five Title Douluo as a bodyguard, there were few people across the entire continent who would dare to cause trouble.
"Alright, it is getting late, we should depart."
Ling Xiao withdrew his gaze, nodded slightly at Ling Xi, and was the first to board the carriage.
Hu Liena followed closely behind.
Chrysanthemum Douluo took the driver's seat and flicked the reins.
The carriage began to move slowly, heading toward the south gate of Martial Soul City.
Ling Xi stood watching until the carriage disappeared from her line of sight before slowly withdrawing her gaze.
She turned back toward Qinghui Hall and entered her cultivation mode.
With the boss out gaining experience, she could not fall behind.
The carriage traveled along the main road, and one could barely feel any bumps.
The carriage interior was spacious and bright, and with the windows on both sides pushed open, one could see the scenery along the way.
Hu Liena clung to the window, watching the scenery flash by outside, feeling incredibly excited.
For over a year, she had stayed in Martial Soul Hall every day, either cultivating or sparring with Ling Xiao, and she had long since been stifled.
Now that she had finally come out, everything she saw felt fresh.
"Little Junior Brother, look, it's so lively outside!"
Hu Liena tugged at Ling Xiao, pointing at a nearby market town, and said excitedly.
"Since we aren't in a rush anyway, why don't we take our time and explore a bit while we're out?"
"I've been stuck in Martial Soul Hall every day; I was about to get sick from the boredom!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Ling Xiao with pleading eyes.
As long as Ling Xiao agreed, Chrysanthemum Douluo would never object.
Ling Xiao looked at the anticipation in her eyes, shook his head helplessly, and did not refuse.
"Fine, there is no rush to hunt for a soul ring anyway."
"It is a good chance to see the local customs outside of Martial Soul City."
He had transmigrated into this world seven years ago, and he had spent the vast majority of his time in Martial Soul Hall.
Most of his knowledge about this world came from the original story and books.
He truly wanted to see with his own eyes what this continent was really like.
"That's great!"
Hu Liena cheered and called out to Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was driving the carriage:
"Senior Yue Guan, we're not in a hurry, let's take our time on the road!"
"If we encounter any towns, we'll stop and look around!"
"Yes, it's all up to your and Lord Ling Xiao's arrangements."
Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately responded.
His Majesty the Pope had instructed that everything on this trip should prioritize the wishes of the two young lords, and their safety was the only concern.
He didn't need to bother with anything else.
Thus, a journey that should have taken three days to reach the Star Dou Forest was stretched to seven days by the three of them.
Along the way, they stopped and went.
Hu Liena was like a child with endless energy, finding everything novel.
She dragged Ling Xiao around every lively place they passed.
Ling Xiao mostly followed quietly by her side, occasionally offering a reminder.
His gaze, however, was always observing the people and events around them.
He saw the reverence and longing that commoners held for Soul Masters.
Chrysanthemum Douluo, meanwhile, concealed his aura and followed the two behind them silently.
Seven days later, the three finally arrived at Falling Star Town, on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.
This town was adjacent to the Star Dou Forest and was the largest gathering place for Soul Masters in the surrounding area.
Soul Masters traveling from all directions would almost always stop here to replenish supplies and form teams to enter the Star Dou Forest to hunt for Soul Rings.
The town was bustling with activity, and the streets were filled with people.
Shops selling Soul Tools and Soul Beast materials lined both sides of the street.
Soul Masters wearing the uniforms of different sects could be seen everywhere.
"Wow, it's so lively here!"
Hu Liena's eyes widened as she looked at the bustling crowds on the street.
"It's a major town next to the Star Dou Forest, so it's naturally lively."
Ling Xiao said calmly, his gaze sweeping over the Soul Masters on either side of the street.
Great Soul Masters and Soul Elders could be seen everywhere.
Occasionally, one could even spot powerful Soul Ancestors and Soul Kings, a mixed crowd where the hidden talents were many.
"Senior Yue Guan, let's find a hotel to stay at."
Ling Xiao instructed Chrysanthemum Douluo ahead of him.
"Yes, Lord Ling Xiao."
Chrysanthemum Douluo responded, driving the carriage straight towards the Falling Star Hotel in the center of town.
This was the largest and most luxurious hotel in Falling Star Town.
Most disciples of prominent sects and high-level Soul Masters chose to stay here, which could save them a lot of unnecessary trouble.
The carriage stopped in front of the Falling Star Hotel.
Hotel staff immediately came forward solicitously.
"Three rooms, adjoining ones. And prepare some food to be sent to the rooms."
Chrysanthemum Douluo casually tossed a Gold Soul Coin, his tone indifferent.
The staff member caught the heavy Gold Soul Coin, his eyes lighting up.
He quickly nodded:
"Alright! Guests, please come in! I'll arrange it for you right away!"
"The food will be sent to your rooms shortly!"
Just as Ling Xiao and the other two were about to enter, Footsteps suddenly sounded from the entrance of the hotel.
A group of young men and women dressed in blue clothes, surrounding an old man with white hair and beard, walked into the hotel.
On the chests of these young men and women's clothes, a ferocious blue dragon head pattern was embroidered.
It was the sect emblem of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects.
The old man at the forefront had a profound aura, and the fluctuations of his soul power were contained.
He was clearly a Soul Douluo expert at level eighty-three.
Following the old man were two boys, about twelve or thirteen years old.
One was tall and handsome, with the pride and sharpness of a direct descendant of the sect in his brows.
He was Yu Tianheng, the direct grandson of Yu Yuanzhen, the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Another youth had a defiant gaze, carrying a fierce aura; he was Yu Tianxin.
Together, they were known as the Blue Lightning Twin Stars, the most outstanding geniuses of the younger generation in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
They awakened the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, their talent extraordinary.
"They're from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Hu Liena's voice lowered slightly, the smile on her face receding, a flicker of wariness in her eyes.
