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

Chapter 31 Tang Ya: I'm tired, Bei Bei, don't bother me.

The two drew closer and closer, almost touching...

"Hmm... let's eat something, we can't waste so much good food..."

Finally, Tang Ya couldn't withstand Ye Chen's gaze any longer, blushed, turned her head away, and quickly changed the subject.

But her heart was pounding wildly...

"Okay, eat more, so you can become stronger, Sister Xiaoya!"

Ye Chen said as he served food to Tang Ya.

"Hmm, you think I'm weak..." Tang Ya glared at her, annoyed.

"No way, my Xiaoya is the best~" Ye Chen laughed.

"Hmph, that's more like it~"

Tang Ya was finally satisfied.

Although she knew Ye Chen was just trying to coax her, she was still very happy.

Unlike Beibei, that silly and simple-minded girl, who only knows how to tell the truth but can't even express sweet words properly, though she's good at making empty promises...

……

……

……

"Xiaoya, where are you... my Xiaoya..."

Late at night, in Shrek City, the once bustling streets were sparsely populated, and most of the vendors had already closed their shops.

A dejected and utterly dejected figure walked down the empty street; it was Beibei.

Beibei searched all the places Tang Ya usually went, but still couldn't find Tang Ya.

Today is their anniversary, something Tang Ya never forgets. Why has she suddenly disappeared today...?

He wasn't worried about Tang Ya getting into trouble, after all, Shrek City was the safest city in the world, and there couldn't possibly be any evil spirit masters there.

Tang Ya is also a Soul Master, and she's wearing Shrek Academy's uniform, so there's no way anyone would dare to lay a hand on a Shrek student.

Therefore, the only conclusion is that Tang Ya left on her own...

But, Tang Ya's family is gone, so where can she go?
Beibei was completely baffled and couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried...

Suddenly, Beibei seemed to have figured something out.

He searched everywhere in the city for Tang Ya, wondering if she might have just left because of something and been waiting for him at the academy.

"Yes, I was being stubborn. Xiaoya might be looking for me right now. I need to hurry back so she doesn't worry!"

Beibei felt he had found the right direction, and his mood improved considerably. Full of anticipation, he headed towards the academy, hoping to meet Tang Ya, who was also anxiously waiting for his return.

If that were the case, he would be very happy.

Perhaps, this is the true meaning of a two-way journey.

Beibei quickened her pace and arrived at the academy gate a moment later.

Just then, as if her eyes had auto-aimed, Beibei's gaze instantly locked onto a beautiful figure beneath the academy gate—Tang Ya!
"Xiaoya!!"

Beibei called out quickly, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.

"Hmm, Beibei?"

Tang Ya turned her head and saw Bei Bei, and was slightly surprised.

I didn't expect Beibei to still be here so late...

Fortunately, Ye Chen left early; otherwise, if Bei Bei had seen him, she might have misunderstood something, given her personality.

She and Ye Chen are completely innocent; she can't let Bei Bei slander Ye Chen.

"Xiaoya, where have you been? I've been looking for you so hard..."

Beibei staggered over, opening her arms to try and pull Tang Ya into a tight embrace. Unfortunately, Tang Ya dodged her in an instant.

"What kind of man cries like this?"

When Tang Ya saw Bei Bei looking disheveled and dejected, she frowned with some disdain.

Especially compared to Ye Chen's confidence and composure, Bei Bei at this moment is simply utterly useless.

He was perfectly fine, but he kept crying. Luckily, no one was around, or she would have pretended not to know him.

"No... Xiaoya, I was just too worried about you. Today is our anniversary, and you suddenly disappeared. Do you know how worried I was..."

When Beibei saw Tang Ya's disdainful look, she felt a pang of pain in her heart for some reason, and even felt a little wronged.

"Alright, alright, I'm neither missing nor in danger, what are you worried about? It's just an anniversary, is it more important than what I did today?"

Tang Ya glanced at Bei Bei speechlessly, then turned and left, clearly too lazy to argue with her and ruin her good mood.

The thought of getting revenge within three months filled her with joy.

She'd been with Beibei for so long, yet she couldn't see even a sliver of hope for revenge.

Having just recruited Ye Chen into the Tang Clan, they can complete their revenge within three months.

This comparison makes Beibei seem incredibly useless.

"What could be more important than our anniversary?!" Bei Bei asked hoarsely, her emotions slightly tinged with emotion.

"Of course, it's because I recruited a talent for our Tang Clan~" Tang Ya said with a hint of pride.

What's the point of an anniversary?

Even after 10 anniversaries, she might still not be able to get revenge.

Today, she personally took action, not only recruiting a talent like Ye Chen, but also making revenge a possibility.

This is infinitely more important than any damn anniversary.

"Who is it? The Tang Clan has strict rules. Xiaoya, don't do anything reckless. We can't let any bad people in just to revive the Tang Clan!" Beibei suddenly became anxious upon hearing this.

It seems that Beibei is more concerned about the development of the Tang Sect than Tang Ya.

And that is indeed the case.

Bei Bei's original instructions, given by Mu En, were to save the only surviving member of the Tang Clan, rebuild the Tang Clan, and take control of it.

Since the Tang Clan was founded by that "Ancestor Tang San," if we can save the only surviving member of the Tang Clan, preserve the Tang Clan's lineage, and carry forward the Tang Clan, we might be able to attract that person's attention and obtain a heaven-defying opportunity.

Strengthening the Tang Clan was the task Mu En entrusted to him.

As for falling in love with Tang Ya, that was something he hadn't expected.

However, dating Tang Ya not only wouldn't hinder the development of the Tang Clan, but it would also better prepare for the revival of the Tang Clan, so Mu En didn't object to his relationship with Tang Ya.

……

"His name is Ye Chen. He's Yan Shaozhe's disciple and the newcomer king of this year's freshmen. You should have heard of him." Tang Ya didn't hide anything, since Bei Bei would find out sooner or later anyway.

If they conceal it, it might cause Beibei to misunderstand, and it could lead to unpleasant things between her and Ye Chen.

"It's him, that newly-minted Soul Master!!"

Upon hearing this, Beibei's pupils suddenly contracted!
Ye Chen's deeds naturally spread throughout the upperclassmen academy!
After all, a twelve-year-old Soul Master directly broke the historical record since the establishment of Shrek Academy!

Even the original Shrek academy students weren't this monstrous!

Moreover, the opponent not only possesses high cultivation level, but also terrifying combat strength...

This is a Soul Master, and he's only a level 38 Soul Venerable at fifteen years old...

"Yes, it's him. With Ye Chen joining us, the process of reviving the Tang Sect will definitely be accelerated. Aren't I amazing?" Tang Ya said with some pride.
