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

Chapter 181 Taking Hyotei shopping, an unexpected encounter with Huo Yuhao
"Huh, another contract scroll, this one is good."

Ye Chen was delighted to see the reward.

This contract scroll must definitely be left to the Snow Empress.

According to the original text.

When Bingdi was tricked away by Huo Yuhao, Xuedi went to look for Bingdi.

Therefore, during this period, the Snow Empress had not yet begun her tribulation and was not sealed by the "Conferred God Platform," so Ye Chen felt that he still had a chance.

However, Ye Chen was not in a hurry. With his cultivation speed, he should be able to advance to the Soul Saint level by the end of this semester.

We can go to the far north again sometime.

However, the cultivation of a Soul Saint is still very difficult, so Ye Chen needs to get closer to Ling Luochen and the others.

After all, the fatal flaw of [Resonance] is that it cannot be cultivated alone...

……

……

Ling Luochen is only a Soul King, but his cultivation speed is still very fast.

Ye Chen also pressed on with his efforts, staying in the inner courtyard for almost half a month, and finally managed to get Ling Luochen's cultivation level to 60.

However, Ling Luochen was still traumatized by Ma Xiaotao's prank last time. She was shy and refused to be with Ma Xiaotao no matter what...

Yeah, they won't even eat together...

Fortunately, it's already level 60.

While Ling Luochen was being taken to obtain a spirit ring, Ye Chen took the time to play with Little Ice Emperor.

As for Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Wu Fengningtian, Ye Chen did not go to see them for the time being.

After all, he hadn't been gone for very long.

Moreover, if he has other matters to attend to in the future, he may be away for even longer.

Therefore, they need to be allowed some time to adapt and receive proper training at the foreign institution.

As for the magic herb, it will definitely be given out gradually.

After all, they had just advanced from Great Soul Masters to Soul Venerables, which had already attracted the attention of many teachers.

If one takes the immortal herb and engages in dual cultivation, one can definitely break through to the Soul Master realm in a short time.

With four or five people breaking through in succession, Ye Chen will likely be thrust into the spotlight once again...

Furthermore, with Ma Xiaotao evolving into the Ultimate Flame, people will surely speculate that Ye Chen still possesses treasures, and might even harbor wicked intentions.

Although Ye Chen was capable of protecting himself, he was also afraid of trouble.

Moreover, it's not good to get things too easily, because if you get them too easily, you won't know how to cherish them.

It's like having a cheat code; it's so addictive that you can keep using it and feel great all the time. But if you suddenly lose that cheat code, you'll feel incredibly miserable.

If Ye Chen suddenly lost the system, he would also feel very bad.

So he can be very good to his women, but he won't give them everything at once.

……

Shrek City.

On the busy streets.

Ye Chen led Hyotei for a walk.

Taking advantage of this hard-won free time, Ye Chen definitely chose to spend some time with Hyotei.

After all, Hyotei was his spirit, and cultivating their bond would also foster tacit understanding, making things much easier in future battles. Hyotei transformed into a little kid, with pigtails and a short skirt, straddling Ye Chen's shoulders, happily munching on snacks.

Ye Chen held Hyotei's soft, white feet dangling in front of him with both hands and gently played with them.

When Hyotei first transformed into human form, her face was very aloof, but now, after spending a long time in human society, she has become inexplicably cute and a bit silly.

"Ye Chen, that...that!!"

"And that one, that one..."

"That's delicious too, I want it!"

Hyotei looked at the snack stalls around her and immediately became very hungry. She stretched out her soft little fingers and pointed at them, and even patted Ye Chen's head with her hand, making a loud thud.

"Stop knocking, or you'll go crazy. Who's going to buy you food then?" Ye Chen rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless.

Ye Chen didn't remember ever training Hyotei, so how did Hyotei become like this...?

"Hurry up, hurry up, you promised to go shopping with me all day today."

Hyotei didn't care about any of that. With its short legs, it drove Ye Chen toward the food stalls next to it.

After spending this time together, she finally realized the truth: rather than wasting her own time, she should choose to enjoy life.

Moreover, she also discovered that Ye Chen was really, really good to her, not treating her as a tool at all, and doting on her a lot. No matter how much she made a fuss, Ye Chen was very patient.

Although she lived a long life, she actually spent most of her time sleeping. Moreover, as one of the three Heavenly Kings of the far north, she was the only one who took care of her own people, and no one ever took care of her.

Only Xue Di would often come to keep her company and pamper her...

Now, although Xue Di is gone, Ye Chen still dotes on her, which makes her enjoy this kind of life very much.

Shrek City was bustling and lively in the evening. After buying some things, the two decided to find a quiet place to take a walk.

Ye Chen strolled leisurely down a relatively quiet street with Hyotei, who remained perched on his shoulders, playing with a bracelet in her hand.

"You humans are truly strange creatures. Your cultivation isn't strong, but your practical skills are amazing." Hyotei said, putting on the sparkling bracelet, beaming with delight.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "We humans have strong learning abilities, and we have considerable intelligence even at a young age. You soul beasts, until you reach 100,000 years of cultivation, your intelligence is only comparable to our children, so there is naturally a difference."

"Why do I feel like you're saying I'm stupid?" Hyotei looked at Ye Chen with some suspicion.

She suspected that Ye Chen was implying something about her, but she had no proof.

The two were chatting when they passed a corner, and a figure just happened to walk out from the other side of the corner.

When Ye Chen saw the other person's appearance, he was slightly taken aback, because the person who came was none other than Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao was also somewhat stunned when he saw Ye Chen. He never expected to encounter Ye Chen here...

He was in a very good mood today.

Because just this morning, his soul power finally broke through one level with great difficulty, reaching a terrifying level 18!
Although it was only a minor level, which might be insignificant to a genius soul master, for him, every breakthrough was like rain after a long drought, a tremendous encouragement and source of hope.

To celebrate this small victory, he took a day off and instead of working hard to sell grilled fish at his stall as usual, he used the little money he had saved to buy some slightly more luxurious soul beast jerky in the city to nourish himself.

He's rather socially awkward and doesn't like crowded places, so he deliberately took this secluded path to avoid the crowds.

Unexpectedly, they encountered Ye Chen here.

"Hey, Huo Yuhao, why aren't you selling grilled fish today?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Huo Yuhao with some surprise.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao pursed his lips but didn't answer, instead staring intently at Ye Chen...

Sensing Ye Chen's unfathomable cultivation, a mix of awe and inferiority instantly welled up in Huo Yuhao's heart.

Ye Chen's talent is simply too strong; Ye Chen's daily cultivation progress is almost equivalent to a month of hard training...
