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

Chapter 170 Ling Luochen: I'm ready, come on!
The next day.

Ma Xiaotao got up early and went directly to the Star Dou Great Forest with Yan Shaozhe.

Given Ma Xiaotao's physique, her seventh spirit ring would take at least seventy to eighty thousand years to form.

As for the eighth spirit ring, it will definitely be 100,000 years.

Ma Xiaotao's talent is no weaker than Zhang Lexuan's, and with the addition of the immortal herb, absorbing the eighth soul ring for 100,000 years will definitely not be a problem.

However, because Poisonous Undying poached several 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest decades ago, 100,000-year-old soul beasts are now even rarer in the Star Dou Great Forest and are very difficult to encounter, making it extremely difficult to obtain a 100,000-year-old soul ring.

However, if you can't find it in the Star Dou Great Forest, you can go to other places.

For example, poaching in the Sun Moon Empire...

There are many fire-attribute soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, but it is still very difficult to encounter high-age fire-attribute soul beasts.

Ye Chen estimated that Ma Xiaotao would be away for at least three or four days, or even longer.

Ye Chen rested for a day, and then decided to go find Zhang Lexuan.

After all, Zhang Lexuan's last visit was clearly out of jealousy...

He gave Ma Xiaotao such a nice gift, but not Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan must still feel a little bittersweet...

Fortunately, Ye Chen also prepared some immortal herbs for Zhang Lexuan.

However, Zhang Lexuan's martial soul is not an ice or fire martial soul.

Ye Chen was unable to use the immortal herb to maximize her martial soul attributes.

Just as Ye Chen was about to set off to find Zhang Lexuan.

There was a sudden knock on the door of the house in the courtyard.

"Junior Brother Ye Chen, are you there?"

A familiar voice came from outside.

It was Ling Luochen.

Clearly, Ling Luochen had seen Ma Xiaotao leave and was planning to raid her base...

"Senior Ling, what brings you here again?" Ye Chen asked curiously as he opened the door.

"Hmph, what, you don't welcome me?" Ling Luochen immediately snorted.

"How could that be? A visit from a senior is always welcome!"

Ye Chen smiled and then personally brewed a pot of tea for Ling Luochen.

After a moment of silence, Ling Luochen cut to the chase and asked, "Do you... still possess the ability to evolve my martial soul into ultimate ice?"

Ling Luochen stared intently at Ye Chen, seemingly trying to glean the answer from Ye Chen's eyes and expression.

Her eyes held a clear mix of apprehension and longing...

Although Ye Chen had clearly stated last time that there was no way, she could clearly sense that Ye Chen was still hiding something from her.

Perhaps it was because Ma Xiaotao was nearby, or perhaps it was for other reasons.

Taking advantage of Ma Xiaotao's absence, she came to her door again, wanting a definite answer.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen pondered for a moment, but instead of answering her question directly, he said, "Senior Sister Ling, you should understand that the kind of thing that can help Sister Xiao Tao evolve... is extremely rare and precious. It's no exaggeration to say that it's the best among rare and precious materials."

"I know it must be very valuable, but... I can buy it... I've saved up a lot of money over the years, and I'm willing to pay any price!"

Ling Luochen, far from being discouraged, was actually quite surprised and excited when she said this.

Ye Chen didn't directly refuse, which means there's still a chance!

If it were truly possible to evolve her martial soul into ultimate ice, she would be willing to pay any price!

"It's not about the money." Ye Chen shook his head slightly, looking at Ling Luochen with serious eyes, and said, "Senior, something this precious is not just a matter of resources. I will only give it to someone close to me, someone who is like family."

"One of our own?"

Ling Luochen was slightly taken aback, then instantly guessed what it was, and his face turned bright red.

Moreover, she seemed to have thought of something, covered her mouth, and looked at Ye Chen with a shocked expression.

I never expected Ye Chen to be this kind of person...

Ye Chen is so naughty... She likes him so much...

Moreover, it seems that Ma Xiaotao is with Ye Chen for this very reason. And Ye Chen is in a dominant position.

She always thought that Ma Xiaotao was exploiting Ye Chen, but she never expected that it was the other way around.

But that shouldn't be the case. With Ye Chen's physique, he definitely can't beat Ma Xiaotao. Even if he takes the lead, he'll definitely be exhausted...

Ye Chen, however, is now full of energy and doesn't look like he's been completely drained at all.

This is very strange...

Ye Chen seemed to read something from Ling Luochen's eyes and quickly explained, "Senior Ling, please don't misunderstand. My relationship with Sister Xiaotao is just a normal one, nothing else is involved. As for helping Sister Xiaotao evolve her martial soul, it's just a gift I'm giving her."

"what?"

Ling Luochen was slightly taken aback, then asked with a strange expression, "If I really agree to what you've said, aren't you afraid that Xiao Tao will find out?"

"Okay, actually, it was Sister Xiaotao who brought this up herself," Ye Chen said, shrugging.

"She brought it up? Impossible... What does she mean by this?" Ling Luochen was completely dumbfounded.

If Ye Chen were secretly seeing her, she could understand; after all, boys are all like that…

But since Ma Xiaotao brought it up herself, she couldn't understand it.

What does Ma Xiaotao mean by this? Is she setting a trap for her?

But there's no reason for it...

If she had a wonderful little man like Ye Chen, she would want to watch him every second of the day, afraid that he would be seduced away by other glamorous and shameless women.

Ma Xiaotao's willingness to share was something she couldn't understand at all.

"So, Senior Ling, have you made up your mind?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.

"Well... okay then... I agree, I... I'm ready, you can start whenever you want... um... I can accept starting now..."

Ling Luochen lowered her head slightly, stammering, her legs slightly clamped together, her face flushed, clearly very nervous.

Despite her nervousness, she still agreed.

The allure of martial soul evolution was simply too tempting; she couldn't resist it at all...

Moreover, Ye Chen is right; becoming stronger always comes at a price.

The main reason is that the object of affection is Ye Chen.

It definitely wouldn't work with anyone else, but if it were Ye Chen... well... she'd be very willing...

After all, Ye Chen was good-looking, and his strength and talent were so great.

Ling Luochen kept trying to convince herself.

They have already made all the necessary preparations.

"Alright, since you've made up your mind, Senior Sister Ling, then let's sign this Tang Sect entry commitment form."

As Ye Chen spoke, he slammed a document onto the table.

"what?"

Ling Luochen stared at the documents on the table, her mind going completely blank.

"I've joined the Tang Clan, the same Tang Clan that used to play with hidden weapons ten thousand years ago, and I'm already the vice sect leader. As long as Senior Sister Ling is willing to join the Tang Clan and become a member, then she'll be one of us."

Ye Chen said in a serious tone.

"No... wait... what you mean by becoming one of us... is this what you mean???"

Ling Luochen was completely dumbfounded.

Her belt was already half unbuckled when Ye Chen said this to her?
"Huh, could it be that Senior Ling has misunderstood?"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, a teasing glint in his eyes.

Although Ma Xiaotao meant that it was fine for him to directly win over Ling Luochen, Ye Chen still preferred to cultivate their relationship slowly.

Becoming an instant sensation feels like a transaction.

It also implies coercion.

Ye Chen didn't really like this kind of style.
