Ambushed on the Road

"You're quite something, kid. So, isn't the young master the most beautiful woman in the world?"

After leaving the Crown Prince's Palace, Snake Lance Douluo She Long appeared out of nowhere and led Yu Tianshuang away from the Heaven Dou Empire's palace. When they were almost at the gate, he turned back to look at the Crown Prince's Palace in the distance and whispered to Yu Tianshuang.

"Um... in terms of looks, figure, and temperament, Qian Renxue is indeed the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. However, her temper is too volatile. It would be even better if she could be quieter."

Yu Tianshuang nodded, and the image of Qian Renxue's unparalleled beauty automatically surfaced in his mind. Among the women he had ever met, Qian Renxue could indeed be ranked first. If only she were less irritable and short-tempered, it would be even better.

"Irritable? Wait... Could it be that the young master we know isn't the same person? To me, the word 'irritable' doesn't even come close to her. Whether it's her temperament or her shrewdness, she's the best person I've ever met..."

Upon hearing Yu Tianshuang's words, Snake Lance Douluo's forehead was immediately filled with a series of question marks. Then, his eyes lit up, and he praised Qian Renxue with a face full of admiration. This fanatical appearance made Yu Tianshuang feel a little uncomfortable.

"Senior Snake Lance, I'll be going now. I need to hurry to Spirit City..."

Out of politeness, Yu Tianshuang stood at the palace gate listening to She Long's rambling. But soon, he realized that this man was going on and on about Qian Renxue, praising her to the point of exhaustion. He started talking about how she had single-handedly manipulated the Heaven Dou Empire all these years. Yu Tianshuang couldn't bear to listen anymore and couldn't connect the unparalleled wise ruler that She Long was talking about with Qian Renxue. So, he had no choice but to bow and say goodbye.

"Oh dear, what's the rush, young man? I still have a lot to say. As someone who has followed the young master for so many years, I have to change your mind. Alright, alright, go ahead. In time, you'll understand just how great the young master truly is. We've already arranged the carriage for you; it's right ahead."

Qian Renxue is an undercover agent sent by the Spirit Hall to the Heaven Dou Empire. According to Qian Renxue, the Spirit Hall may be planning something that will affect the entire continent. My current strength is still too weak. In the coming chaos, I must increase my strength as soon as possible so that I can protect the people I care about.

"Tianshuang... what are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought. Zhu Zhuqing is calling you..."

In the carriage, Yu Tianshuang leaned against the window, lost in thought. Whether it was because Zhu Zhuqing's voice was too soft or because he was too engrossed in his thoughts, Ye Lingling gently nudged him and said something.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Zhu Zhuqing, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, Brother Tianshuang, it's just that I'm a little scared and a little lost, especially since Yue'er isn't around to make noise. I feel like something's missing..."

Zhu Zhuqing's pretty and lovely face showed a somewhat confused expression. It's understandable; she's naturally quiet and extremely sensitive. In the past few years, with the energetic Shui Yue'er by her side, she hadn't felt lonely. But suddenly being separated from them, coupled with Ye Lingling's rather tranquil nature, made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Zhu Zhuqing, you ran all the way from the Star Luo Empire back then. You've only been away from the academy for a short while, and you're already homesick? Haha..."

Yu Tianshuang actually understood Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts very well. This seemingly cold girl was actually as sensitive as a kitten inside. However, she didn't need anyone to comfort her, so Yu Tianshuang changed her approach.

"You're only good-tempered because Zhu Zhuqing is so kind. If it were Yue'er, she wouldn't have rushed over and bit you..."

Ye Lingling smiled and was very happy to see Zhu Zhuqing's hesitation dispelled by Yu Tianshuang's words.

"Oh right, your Soul Power is already level 50, I forgot. We should have had your teacher take you to hunt for Soul Ring first. I don't know if the people at the Spirit Hall care about these things. If they don't, with our strength, we probably won't be able to help you hunt for a high-age Soul Ring, and your superhuman physical strength will be wasted..."

The atmosphere in the carriage immediately became cheerful, because they believed that wherever Yu Tianshuang was, they felt safe. After chatting for a while, Ye Lingling suddenly remembered this matter and said with some worry.

"Sister Lingling, I think Brother Tianshuang is highly regarded by the Pope, so he should send someone to help him hunt for Soul Ring, right? As for me, my cultivation speed is too slow, sigh..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling said somewhat helplessly, "Our cultivation speed is already very fast. Even the three so-called Golden Generation members of the Spirit Hall, at our age, don't have such a high Soul Power Level. Do you think everyone is like this monster...?"

Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing had both absorbed the Immortal Herb, and their Martial Soul had already evolved, making their cultivation speed much faster than before. Hearing that Zhu Zhuqing was still somewhat dissatisfied, Ye Lingling comforted her.

Yu Tianshuang smiled and was about to make a teasing remark when she suddenly felt a sharp pressure coming from above the carriage. Her cold expression changed instantly, and she quickly pulled the two women into her arms. Her deep red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring appeared, and the Ice Emperor Armor was instantly put on.

Katz.

Although it was Fourth Soul Skill with a lifespan of 100,000 years, attacks below the Soul Emperor level were basically ineffective. However, although the attack was hasty, its power had reached the Soul Saint level. Moreover, in order to protect the two women, Yu Tianshuang directly took the wind blade with her back. Because of the attack of this wind blade, the carriage that Snake Lance Douluo had helped find was also split in two, and the refrigerator that was being pulled outside the carriage also fell down.

"Flender..."

After enduring the attack, Yu Tianshuang knew who had come. She was surprised that he dared to come over. When she looked up, she saw that the person was indeed a middle-aged man with owl wings.

After destroying the carriage, Flender in the sky was in no hurry to continue the attack. He silently looked at Yu Tianshuang below, glancing at the refrigerator containing Yu Xiaogang.

"Tianshuang, are you alright? Are you okay...?"

The two women left Yu Tianshuang's embrace. Ye Lingling hurriedly summoned her Martial Soul and looked at the long bloodstain on his back. Her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"It's alright, with you here, this injury is nothing. Zhu Zhuqing, keep an eye on that box. Lingling, take care of yourself."

Seeing that Flender wasn't in a hurry to attack, Yu Tianshuang knew what he was planning. Sure enough, a crimson figure quickly appeared in front of them, followed by Dai Mubai and the rest of the Shrek Academy who flew over as well.

"Tianshuang, leave Xiaogang here. I'll talk to Xiaosan about your grandfather's matter. Once you take him to Spirit City, there'll be no turning back..."

Liu Erlong looked at Yu Tianshuang with a complicated expression and began to offer advice.

"Erlong Sister, don't waste your breath on him. He's just a lowly Soul Ancestor. We underestimated him back then, and he caught us off guard. This time we're well-prepared, and we've even brought a few Little Monster with us. He'll have to spare some attention to protect those two little girls. I'll see how he manages to get away this time..."
