Chapter 111 The ice seems to have melted.
In Yelin City, the Time-Space Douluo patted Qian Yuhan's head and said with a smile, "Little Han, don't worry about your friend. The Spirit Hall will do everything it can to treat him. You can go to Heaven Dou and study hard without worry."
Qian Yuhan nodded and replied, "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Time Traveler."
"Why are you being so polite with me? I bet this news from Yelin City will spread far and wide soon, and you little geniuses will probably become famous overnight. Alright, I'm taking him back now. Remember to come visit me when you get back from your holiday!"
The Time-Space Douluo nodded to Qian Yuhan and the others, then led Zhao Ke back to the Spirit Hall...
Seeing the medical supplies and Soul Masters continuously being transported into Yelin City, and witnessing many civilians kneeling in despair among the corpses searching for their loved ones and companions, such a tragic scene would move anyone who saw it...
As the sun slowly rose at dawn, while people elsewhere were still fast asleep, a battle of this scale was taking place in Yelin City, the largest city on the border of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
After the Seventh Elder was rescued, the beast tide returned to normal as it was no longer under the control of the Chaos Secret Technique, and it almost all dissipated in less than an hour.
The city was teeming with the corpses of spirit beasts; their sheer number was countless. This was the result of the combined efforts of the Yelin City garrison and the wandering spirit cultivators who had spontaneously joined the city's defenses while visiting. The spirit beasts ranged in age from a dozen years to ninety thousand years, including both flying and land-dwelling creatures—virtually all species found in the spirit beast forest not far from Yelin City were included.
Mu Chen, standing beside Qian Yuhan, slowly spoke up, "Director Han, we—"
Han Xue said, "Children, I have nothing more to say. Your performance tonight was absolutely brilliant and wonderful."
Baili Qian, dragging his injured body, emerged from his meditation and stood up, saying, "Yes, your performance exceeded expectations. You truly are worthy disciples of our Spirit Hall Academy, just like me when I was young! Hahahaha—"
Han Xue and Gu Yuxing both shook their heads helplessly and smiled bitterly.
Baili Qian realized that it wasn't appropriate to say such things here. "Uh, just listen to it for fun, just listen to it for fun, but please don't spread it around, otherwise some people will cause me trouble."
"Hahahaha—" Everyone burst into laughter.
Qian Yuhan thought to herself: So this Lord Baili City has this side to him.
Baili Qian then continued, "Now that the beast tide has receded, there are quite a few soul beast corpses in the city. You know what I mean, go take a look."
Mu Chen reacted the fastest, grabbing Fang Ya's hand and calling on the others who hadn't yet realized what was happening to go out onto the street to scavenge for bargains.
As everyone knows, soul bones are among the most precious treasures in Douluo Continent, incredibly rare. The difficulty lies in the extremely low probability of them being obtained from slain soul beasts. Soul bones are an extremely special item; or rather, they are the most coveted item in a soul master's dream. Similar to soul rings, soul bones also originate from soul beasts, but they differ greatly: each soul beast possesses a corresponding soul ring, while the probability of a soul bone appearing among soul beasts is only one in a thousand, or even lower.
Another difference between soul bones and soul rings is that, unlike soul rings, which require the user to kill a soul beast to use, soul bones can even be sold after acquisition. They can be purchased in certain special places. Any soul bone, no matter how ordinary, is incredibly expensive and in high demand.
With so many soul beast corpses in the city now, the probability of encountering soul bones has greatly increased.
After Mu Chen finished explaining, everyone realized what was happening. Tang Xuan and Tang Chen then sprinted past Mu Chen.
"Hey, third brother, we're off first. You and Fang Ya have to take it easy!"
Tang Xuan said to Mu Chen with a mischievous grin.
Mu Chen then noticed that he had been holding Fang Ya's hand the whole time, and even squeezed it a little after noticing it.
This made Fang Ya, whose face was already red, blush even more.
"You even pinched it, hmph—" Fang Ya broke free from Mu Chen's hand in embarrassment and ran away quickly.
Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, then caught up: "I, Xiao Ya, I, please let me explain, I didn't—"
Behind Mu Chen were Qian Yuhan and Ouyang Luoxue. Looking at Mu Chen and Fang Ya in front of her, Qian Yuhan smiled slightly.
"What are you laughing at?" Ouyang Luoxue asked, looking at Qian Yuhan.
Qian Yuhan said, "I'm laughing! My third brother has someone to deal with him now, besides Uncle Golden Crocodile, hahaha—"
Ouyang Luoxue covered her mouth and laughed knowingly. Qian Yuhan turned his head to look at Ouyang Luoxue's profile and said weakly, "Luoxue, is it okay for me to call you that?"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Luoxue's cheeks flushed slightly, and she nodded without saying a word.
Qian Yuhan continued, "Luo Xue, you know what? I don't know why, but I always feel like I've known you for a long time, and talking to you always feels familiar—"
Upon hearing Qian Yuhan's words, Ouyang Luoxue inwardly laughed and cursed, "This guy is such a blockhead! I told him exactly what I said in my letter, and he still didn't guess that I was his pen pal. So stupid!! Absolutely stupid!!!"
Qian Yuhan looked at Ouyang Luoxue pouting beside her and couldn't help but feel a little confused: Did she say something wrong? How did she upset this young lady?
Ouyang Luoxue then turned her head, and the two looked at each other, laughing as she said, "It's nothing, I was just wondering how there could be such a dimwit. Oh, by the way, there's a mailbox outside the gate of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. I remember you mentioned before that your pen pal is also from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, right? She'll definitely leave you a letter there knowing you're here, so you can continue corresponding with her—"
"Just one mailbox?! How are we supposed to get it? Aren't you afraid it'll get stolen?"
Ouyang Luoxue slapped Qian Yuhan on the shoulder: "You're so stupid! Those letters will definitely have a note indicating who's to them. Besides, you've been corresponding with me, or rather, you've been corresponding with your pen pal for so long, you must know what kind of envelope they use. Also, those mailboxes are only for sending these kinds of letters, what's there to steal? Really."
"Haha, that's true, that's true. I'll go and take a look when I get to the school."
Seeing that Qian Yuhan was unaware that she was his pen pal, Ouyang Luoxue suddenly felt like teasing him: You big dummy, I'll just give you a little punishment, I won't tell you yet—go figure it out yourself!
"Luo Xue, I have a feeling you're hiding something from me," Qian Yuhan said suddenly.
Ouyang Luoxue was startled: "Huh?! No way, it's ending so soon? He said it was a feeling, a feeling, he didn't know—"
"Hmm? What am I hiding from you—"
"I don't know, it just feels weird."
"You're mistaken..."
……
Behind Ouyang Luoxue followed her bodyguard, who would not allow anything to happen to his young lady again. He watched as Qian Yuhan and his young lady chatted so happily. His young lady, usually so quiet and aloof within the sect, seemed to have her ice melt away in Qian Yuhan's presence.
First update, another one is under review.
