Ye Liangchen looked at the five assassins lying on the ground, shaking his head helplessly. This was the second time he had killed an enemy since coming to this World, and he was gradually getting used to it.
"You people, all you know is fighting and killing all day, it's so annoying," Ye Liangchen complained, then took out a shovel from his spirit tool, dug up a pile of dirt, and buried the assassins. Zhu Zhuqing also came over to help.
"Hey! Xiao Maomi, are you scared seeing these assassins dead?"
Ye Liangchen was very surprised to see that Xiao Maomi hadn't left and was even actively helping with the work.
"What's there to be afraid of? We are Spirit Masters; facing such scenes is normal." Zhu Zhuqing forcibly suppressed the nausea in her heart and continued to help dig the dirt.
"Before, I encountered a group of mountain bandits robbing a small village. To save the villagers, I took action to eliminate those evil people. When I saw them fall, I also felt very nauseous, but to save those villagers, I had no choice but to do it."
"We Spirit Masters will face slaughter sooner or later. This kind of situation will often be encountered in the future."
Ye Liangchen told Zhu Zhuqing that he also felt nauseous and wanted to vomit the first time he eliminated evil people.
"I understand."
Zhu Zhuqing calmed herself down. She had seen dead people before at home, but they were far away then, not this close.
After finishing these matters, Ye Liangchen prepared to leave the place.
"I originally wanted to eat some roasted wild boar, but it's very unlucky to have several assassins die here."
"Xiao Maomi, where are you going?"
Ye Liangchen asked Zhu Zhuqing. Although he knew she was going to Shrek Academy, he still asked to see if she had any other ideas.
"I haven't decided where to go yet. Where are you going? I'll go with you."
Zhu Zhuqing stared at Ye Liangchen's handsome face. She didn't mind him calling her Xiao Maomi.
At this moment, she remembered what her aunt had told her: strive to live, break free from the cage of fate, and hopefully find her own happiness.
Zhu Zhuqing had previously witnessed Ye Liangchen's marvelous boxing and swordsmanship, and this time she also saw him instantly kill five assassins, three of whom were Spirit Kings. This heaven-defying ability made her heart stir.
Having finally met this young man again, how could Zhu Zhuqing let go of such an opportunity? She planned to follow him for a while, and perhaps she could even learn some martial arts from him later.
"Didn't you say you were looking for someone?"
Ye Liangchen was stunned when he heard this girl wanted to follow him. Wasn't she going to Shrek Academy? Why was she following him instead?
"The matter of finding someone can be discussed later! Where are you going? Let me go with you!"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Liangchen quietly, her eyes showing a look of anticipation. She really wanted to tell this young man some of the thoughts in her heart, but being shy, she was temporarily too embarrassed to say them.
"Alright then! Let's leave here first."
After Ye Liangchen finished speaking, he walked straight forward, and Zhu Zhuqing followed behind him.
"Ye Liangchen, what level is your spirit power now?"
Zhu Zhuqing remembered that when she met this guy a few years ago, his strength was already very powerful, and his Spirit was also super beautiful. She really wanted to see it again.
"I am currently a Level 39 Spirit Elder."
"Buzz..."
Ye Liangchen directly released his Life Goddess Spirit, and three spirit rings, yellow, purple, and black, slowly rose, flashing brilliantly.
"Yellow, purple, black? A Thousand-Year second spirit ring? A Ten-Thousand Year third spirit ring?"
"Oh my god! How...how did you do that?"
Zhu Zhuqing was completely dumbfounded by Ye Liangchen's incredible spirit ring configuration, her small mouth agape like the letter "O."
"It's alright! Just so-so."
Ye Liangchen calmly put away his Spirit. Looking at her surprised and longing expression, Ye Liangchen concluded that she definitely had something in mind.
"Ye Liangchen, I want to learn from you. Would you teach me?"
"Don't worry, I won't learn for free. I will repay you in the future."
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing made up her mind. She must cultivate with this young man to survive in the future. As for her engagement with Dai Mubai, it was thrown to the back of her mind. Nothing was more important than living.
Holy cow! He hadn't even invited Xiao Maomi, and she was already clinging to him.
"You really want to learn cultivation from me? Why is that?" Ye Liangchen pretended to be curious, though he already understood her thoughts.
"Yes! I just want to become stronger and survive."
"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer a loss. I will definitely repay you in the future."
Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful big eyes stared intently at Ye Liangchen, hoping he would agree to her request. This was her only chance to become stronger, and she had to seize it.
"Then you can just come to our Tianshui Academy later! I can teach you then."
Seeing that this girl was determined to follow him, Ye Liangchen decided not to ask anything more and directly suggested that she join Tianshui Academy.
"But doesn't Tianshui Academy only accept water-attribute Spirit Masters?"
"Also, you're a male, can you also be at Tianshui Academy?"
Zhu Zhuqing was overjoyed when she heard he agreed, but she was very curious that he wanted her to join Tianshui Academy.
"Actually, I grew up in Tianshui Academy. When I was 6, Aunt Lan also arranged for me to enroll and study with a group of girls. But I only spent 3 months learning all the knowledge the academy taught. After that, I never went to school for a single day; I just cultivated alone at home."
"You learned it in 3 months? I think you were just too embarrassed to go to school with a bunch of girls, weren't you?"
Hearing that Ye Liangchen stopped going to school after 3 months, Zhu Zhuqing immediately guessed that he must have been embarrassed and found it amusing.
"Xiao Maomi, if you are truly willing to join Tianshui Academy, I will talk to Aunt Lan later, and she will agree to your joining."
"You also met my Aunt Lan in the Star Dou Forest back then. She is the dean of Tianshui Academy. Our Tianshui Academy now has a Super Titled Douluo powerhouse. After you enter the academy, you can cultivate with peace of mind and don't have to worry about any safety issues."
Ye Liangchen told Zhu Zhuqing that Tianshui Academy's high-end combat power was now no less than that of the Upper Three Sects, giving her peace of mind and no worries.
"Tianshui Academy is a paradise for us female Spirit Masters. I am willing to join."
"Ye Liangchen, thank you for giving me this opportunity."
As soon as she heard that Tianshui Academy's strength was so powerful, even having a Super Titled Douluo, Zhu Zhuqing joined without a second thought.
At this moment, she was extremely excited. She finally had a place to settle down and no longer had to live in constant fear.
Seeing this handsome and sunny young man willing to take her in, Zhu Zhuqing wanted to rush over and give him a hug, but her feminine reserve made her embarrassed. If she did that, he might think she was a loose woman.
The young man in front of her could be described as perfect. With sword-like brows, starry eyes, bright eyes and white teeth, a heart like a clear mirror, and eyes like stars, his handsome face was without a single flaw, making Zhu Zhuqing, as a woman, feel ashamed of herself.
And when he saw her voluptuous figure, there was not a trace of lust in his eyes, which remained incredibly clear and pure. Living in Tianshui Academy, surrounded by beautiful women, he hadn't fallen. He was truly a perfect man!
Coupled with his unparalleled talent and strength, which made him out of reach for his peers, such a man was simply the best of the best. No young girl wouldn't be moved, and Zhu Zhuqing, being an ordinary person, was no exception.
"Zhu Zhuqing, what level of spirit power are you now?"
When Ye Liangchen was 6 years old, he gave her several Body Tempering Pills, and he wondered what changes she had undergone in the past few years.
"I'm only Level 28 spirit power. My spirit ring combination is just standard configuration, the first ring is 400 years, and the second ring is 700 years. I can't compare to you. My first Spirit came from a..."
"Meow!"
Zhu Zhuqing displayed her Spirit and also introduced her spirit rings and Spirit Abilities to Ye Liangchen. To learn from him, she had to show sincerity.
"Your spirit power has reached the peak of Level 28, and you're very close to Level 29."
Looking at this girl introducing her spirit rings and Spirit Abilities to him without hesitation, Ye Liangchen thought to himself that what he had done a few years ago by giving this girl the Body Tempering Pills had finally shown some effect.
Brother Dai Mubai, Xiao Maomi has run away. You two are destined to be apart from now on. From now on, you can only continue to be your playboy!
Ye Liangchen had originally thought Zhu Zhuqing would go to Shrek Academy, but he didn't expect that as soon as he showed off his strength, she would directly cling to him.
This was good too, as it saved some unnecessary trouble. It seemed that everything he had done at the age of 6 had already made this girl make her choice.
The two of them ran through the forest while talking about various things. Unconsciously, most of the day had passed, and Zhu Zhuqing gradually let go of the burden in her heart. She became much more cheerful, and a smile occasionally appeared on her face. To be precise, she was infected by Ye Liangchen's sunny personality.
If such a handsome man is talking and laughing in front of you, and you still put on a miserable face, that's not appropriate.
Men feel happy when they see beautiful women, and women also feel happy when they see handsome men, especially cheerful and super handsome men; then the mood becomes even better.
Ye Liangchen wasn't idle on the way either. When he saw good medicinal herbs, he directly picked them and put them into his spirit tool.
"Ye Liangchen, are you picking these herbs to make medicine?" Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously.
"Yes! I'm picking these herbs to refine pills."
After Ye Liangchen finished speaking, he directly took out two Soul Power Pills and handed them to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Try it. These are Soul Power Pills I refined; they can restore spirit power."
Zhu Zhuqing took the Soul Power Pills, smelled the rich medicinal fragrance, and swallowed them without hesitation. Anyway, she now trusted Ye Liangchen very much and believed that he would not harm her.
"Ying en!"
The pill melted instantly in her mouth, turning into pure spirit power that surged into every part of her body, making Zhu Zhuqing groan involuntarily.
"Swish swish..."
Just then, an aura erupted from Zhu Zhuqing's body, directly breaking her bottleneck, and her spirit power also increased to Level 29.
"I've broken through to Level 29."
"Ye Liangchen, thank you."
Zhu Zhuqing felt her spirit power level and was deeply moved. A soft spot in her heart seemed to have been touched, and she couldn't help but shed a few tears.
"Why are you crying? You should be happy that your spirit power has leveled up."
Didn't they say this Xiao Maomi had a cold personality? How did she become like this? Ye Liangchen was full of questions at this moment.
"I...I'm just too excited." Zhu Zhuqing turned around and quietly wiped away her tears, but her heart was very sweet.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's collagen-rich pretty face instantly turned red, like a red apple, making one want to take a bite.
"You're only Level 29 now. Work hard and try to reach Level 30 within two months. Then you can acquire your third spirit ring."
"Ye Liangchen, thank you for your help. I will repay your kindness."
"It's a small matter, don't worry about it. It's getting close to evening. Let's find a place to make a fire and cook. We'll have to spend the night in the mountains today."
Ye Liangchen said calmly and motioned for Zhu Zhuqing to follow.
Looking at Ye Liangchen's tall and handsome back, Zhu Zhuqing immediately followed. As long as it could make her stronger, nothing else mattered.
