Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Chapter 139 The Sixth Soul Ring, Plotting Against the Ice Emperor

"Ahem...this..."

Ye Chen coughed awkwardly, wondering how best to explain...

"Pfft~"

Seeing Ye Chen's embarrassment, Xian Lin'er couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She reached out and patted Ye Chen's head, saying seriously, "Alright, alright, your teacher isn't blaming you. It's just that so many talented girls like you, so you have to treat them well. Otherwise, if things get out of hand, you'll be in big trouble."

She had experienced a chaotic situation back then, but she was the woman, and the man was naturally Yan Shaozhe.

If Yan Shaozhe had just said a kind word or come over to coax her, she might have given in.

But that bastard Yan Shaozhe actually ran off with Cai Meier like a puppy, without even glancing at her. That's too much. She'll definitely remember this grudge for the rest of her life!

As for her and Ye Chen...

She originally just wanted to tease Ye Chen, but she didn't expect that she would develop feelings for him over time... and that's how it turned out.

Because their relationship was taboo, neither of them spoke much about it, but they were very tacitly in sync.

She thinks things are fine as they are now.

As for Ye Chen playing outside, she might be a little jealous, but only slightly. She wouldn't interfere with Ye Chen's affairs. If Ye Chen needed help, she would even lend a hand.

"Mmm, thank you for reminding me, teacher~" Ye Chen nodded obediently, his hand unconsciously resting on Xian Lin'er's buttocks.

"Crack~"

Xian Lin'er reacted quickly and slapped Ye Chen's hoof off.

"Stop fooling around. You can't do anything reckless outside. It'll be bad for you if someone sees you like that," Xian Lin'er said coquettishly, blushing.

"I'm sorry, teacher... I'm used to it..." Ye Chen scratched his head, quickly realizing what he had said, and said somewhat embarrassedly.

After all, in the lab, Xianlin'er was completely at his mercy...

Over time, he got used to it.

"You mustn't do that again..."

Xian Lin'er gently pinched Ye Chen's cheek and said seriously, "The teacher can do whatever you want in the lab, but you can't do this outside!"

"Uh-huh!"

Ye Chen nodded repeatedly. He had gotten a little carried away and almost crashed. He would have to be more careful next time to avoid causing trouble for Xian Lin'er.

Since Xian Lin'er was so good to him, Ye Chen naturally didn't want to put her in a difficult position.

"Hmph, that's a good girl~"

Xian Lin'er rubbed Ye Chen's head, finally satisfied.

Ye Chen is talented, strong, and obedient. Although he is a little mischievous, she still likes him very much.

Soon, Xian Lin'er thought of something and asked, "By the way, you're already level 60. Have you decided when to get your soul ring? I'll make some preparations and we can go together when I have some free time."

"No need, teacher. I plan to have Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan come with me for this sixth spirit ring," Ye Chen said, shaking his head.

"Huh? You little brat, you're having an affair with Zhang Lexuan?"

Xian Lin'er exclaimed in surprise and looked at Ye Chen with considerable astonishment.

I thought Ye Chen was only related to Ma Xiaotao, but I didn't expect Zhang Lexuan to be involved too!
"Ahem, teacher, please don't talk nonsense. Senior Sister and I are innocent," Ye Chen quickly explained.

Women are too gossipy; Ye Chen couldn't let Xian Lin'er make wild guesses.

"Hehehe~ Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore, alright~" Xian Lin'er immediately covered her mouth and giggled, her eyes filled with a strange meaning.

Ye Chen's statement implies an admission.

Although she was surprised, she didn't really think it mattered; one more or one less wouldn't make a difference.

Even she was attracted to Ye Chen, so it's normal for Zhang Lexuan to be interested in him too.

She was simply curious about how far Ye Chen and Zhang Lexuan had progressed... Not only that, but a sense of crisis even flashed through her mind...

After all, she hadn't done *that* with Ye Chen yet.

She did this to prevent Ye Chen from becoming addicted.

But if Ye Chen were to win over anyone else, then her refusal would be meaningless, and she might as well enjoy herself while she can…

"Pah, pah, pah, what am I thinking? Zhang Lexuan is so old, she must know her limits and wouldn't do anything reckless..."

Xianlin suppressed those strange thoughts.

In her opinion, Ye Chen was still too young. She could tolerate Ye Chen in other things, but she had to stick to her bottom line on the last step. She couldn't let Ye Chen get involved too early, lest it affect her cultivation.

She had seen many talented students who, because they couldn't control themselves in this area, had their cultivation affected and ultimately became just ordinary people.

This is a precedent!
She naturally wouldn't let Ye Chen repeat the same mistake.

"However, even though Zhang Lexuan is with you, you still need to be careful. The far north is very dangerous, so you must not be careless."

Xianlin'er still earnestly gave her instructions.

There is still some risk in Ye Chen absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring, but absorbing an 80,000- or 90,000-year soul ring is about right.

Zhang Lexuan's strength was such that she could escape with Ye Chen even if they encountered a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Together with Ye Chen, hunting 80,000- or 90,000-year-old soul beasts would be no problem at all.

It's just a bit of a pity...

After all, she still wanted to personally help Ye Chen obtain a soul ring; such a process was also a pleasure for her.

However, Ye Chen must have his reasons for contacting Zhang Lexuan, and she naturally respects Ye Chen's decision.

"Hehe, this is only my sixth spirit ring now. My seventh spirit ring will definitely be over 100,000 years old, and I'll still need my teacher's help~" Ye Chen chuckled.

"Hmph, good to know~"

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Xian Lin'er felt a surge of joy and was clearly very pleased.

The two chatted for a while longer before Xian Lin'er left.

Ye Chen then went to the inner courtyard, intending to discuss this matter with Zhang Lexuan.

Actually, this matter hasn't been decided yet, since he doesn't know if Zhang Lexuan is available.

It would be best if you had time, but it's okay if you don't.

Ye Chen has many trump cards. With his current combat strength, while he can't be said to be invincible in the far north, he can definitely survive.

The Snow Empress rarely goes out, and at this time she is definitely preparing for her tribulation.

The Titan Snow Demon King is a huge monster, and although he is powerful, he can't catch up with Ye Chen at all, as long as Ye Chen doesn't provoke him.

As for Hyotei, Ye Chen is looking for Hyotei. As long as he can meet Hyotei, Ye Chen can bring Hyotei home.

Well, Hyotei is the least threatening.

Inviting Zhang Lexuan was partly to increase goodwill, and partly as a precaution.

As for how to explain "soul spirit", Ye Chen had already come up with a solution, which all came down to his own "secret technique".

Ye Chen has already revealed a lot, so he's not afraid of revealing one more.

Of course, the main reason is that Ye Chen and Zhang Lexuan have a high level of mutual affection.

Ye Chen trusted Zhang Lexuan. Not only would she not go around spreading rumors, but she would even take the initiative to cover up the origin of the "soul" and keep his secret.

Ye Chen glanced at the large square, then turned and left.

After watching the finals tomorrow, he will go and obtain his sixth spirit ring.

Tonight, naturally, I'm going to invite Zhang Lexuan...
