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

Chapter 35 Inner Court Mission, Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan

Ye Chen was unaware of Ling Luochen's ulterior motives and was simply speechless.

Good grief, he just wanted to have lunch with Ma Xiaotao, and now he's being dragged into doing free work?!

He didn't agree either...

However, this mission was probably just a side thing, just to broaden his horizons, and there shouldn't be any danger.

In the original story, the Shrek Seven Devils encountered a fatal crisis because, on the one hand, Xuanzi was careless, and on the other hand, it was because of Huo Yuhao.

The chosen one's luck is extraordinary, but so is the crisis.

That crisis was actually aimed at Huo Yuhao, but Huo Yuhao was lucky enough to avoid it perfectly.

Others were not so lucky; some died, some were maimed, and some were half-dead.

Ye Chen didn't consider himself a chosen one; he was just a cheat code.

It's just a casual task; there's no way I'd encounter any life-or-death danger...

"What, are you scared? If you're scared, you can refuse~" Ling Luochen narrowed his eyes and smiled.

It was clearly a provocation tactic.

"Who's afraid? I'll go." Ye Chen readily agreed.

Well, of course, his main purpose was to see who was leading the team this time.

If it were Old Man Deng Xuanzi, he would run away without saying a word.

If it were someone else, then they could certainly go and have some fun.

……

……

……

soon.

Ling Luochen then led Ye Chen to a scenic villa deep within Poseidon Island.

Upon entering the courtyard, two women appeared to have been waiting for a long time.

The one on the left is naturally Ma Xiaotao.

Ye Chen looked at Ma Xiaotao, and Ma Xiaotao also looked at Ye Chen.

She seemed to recall what happened that morning; her face flushed slightly, and she subconsciously looked away, not daring to meet Ye Chen's gaze, lest she give herself away.

Ye Chen then turned his gaze to another woman.

The other person had long, jet-black hair that hung down to their waist like silk.

Beneath her smooth forehead were two graceful willow-leaf eyebrows, her nose was straight but not sharp, and her pale pink lips had a natural, moist sheen, with the corners of her lips slightly upturned like pear blossoms opening in the spring breeze.

The woman was not wearing the school uniform, but rather a more upscale purple uniform.

The uniform jacket was neatly tailored, with a Shrek badge in dark gold pattern pinned to the collar.

The first crystal button at the collar was undone, revealing a snow-white curve, but her dignified posture made her appear anything but frivolous.

The dark short skirt hem only reached mid-thigh, and the over-the-knee black stockings wrapped around her shapely calves, revealing her absolute territory.

The stockings were adorned with delicate metal rings at the top, exuding a subtle air of luxury.

Finally, pairing it with a pair of black boots adds a unique touch of heroic spirit.

What interested Ye Chen the most was the other person's calm temperament, which was completely different from Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen. Although she looked to be only in her twenties, she had a strange maturity that was much more mature than a young girl, but still a little short of being a young woman.

Clearly, this is related to the other person's experience.

Adding to that the opponent's unfathomable cultivation level, if Ye Chen wasn't mistaken...

"Ah, Xiao Chen, let me introduce you. This is the strongest student in our inner academy, and also the senior sister of all the disciples in our inner academy—Zhang Lexuan."

Although Ling Luochen didn't know why Ma Xiaotao wasn't speaking, he quickly introduced her to Ye Chen.

"Hello, Senior Sister~"

Ye Chen feigned restraint, gave Zhang Lexuan a bright smile, and then bowed respectfully.

The other party was, after all, a Contra Master, and since it was their first meeting, Ye Chen didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

If he behaved honestly, he could even improve his public image. At the same time, Ye Chen also guessed that Zhang Lexuan might be the one protecting him this time.

Although Zhang Lexuan is far inferior to Xuanzi, Zhang Lexuan makes Ye Chen feel a hundred times more at ease than Xuanzi.

Moreover, Zhang Lexuan is so beautiful that just looking at her can make people feel happy.

Xuanzi, that old man with the chicken leg, is all slovenly and useless.

"Hmm, a very polite junior. I've heard Dean Yan mention you before. You truly deserve to be called the number one genius of the Foreign Languages ​​Department." Zhang Lexuan smiled slightly at Ye Chen, but the admiration in her eyes was impossible to hide.

Ye Chen was simply too outstanding, and his talent surpassed hers.

If such a genius is properly nurtured, he could achieve even greater things than her in the future, perhaps even reaching the level of Elder Mu.

Moreover, Ye Chen was so handsome and pleasing to the eye that she felt an instant attraction to him and couldn't help but like him.

"If only I had a younger brother like that..." Zhang Lexuan thought to herself.

Her baby was taken away by Tang Ya. Although her heart still belonged to the baby, she had always felt empty inside all these years.

Now, it seems she has found someone who can replace Beibei...

"Senior Sister, I heard from Senior Sister Ling that I was called here to participate in a mission. Can I know the specific details of the mission?"

Ye Chen looked at Zhang Lexuan and asked about the real reason for his visit.

"Let me tell you."

Ma Xiaotao was the first to speak, saying, "This mission was given to you by your teacher. After all, you can't really improve in the outer academy, so your teacher wants you to gain some experience with us."

"This was originally a task for our Shrek Academy Inspection Team, and outer court disciples are not qualified to know about it. However, you are a special case, so you are able to participate."

"Our mission this time is to raid a hideout of evil spirit masters. This was originally a normal mission for me and Ling Luochen, but it's okay to bring you along."

"As for our senior sister, she'll naturally be here to protect us..."

As Ma Xiaotao spoke, her gaze towards Ye Chen held a hint of resentment and envy.

Although these small tasks are somewhat dangerous, the academy never sends anyone to supervise them, let alone have the senior sister personally escort them.

Clearly, Zhang Lexuan came for Ye Chen's sake, fearing that Ye Chen would suffer even the slightest harm; protecting her and Ling Luochen was just a side effect.

She had only enjoyed this kind of treatment a few times during the short period after she joined the inner courtyard...

But as much as he envied Ye Chen, this was also a good thing for him.

After all, there were only two of them, Ling Luochen and the evil soul master. Although there was only one Soul King among them, the Soul King's combat power was usually close to the Soul Saint level.

The other minor troublemakers were left to Ling Luochen and Ye Chen to handle.

Under normal circumstances, the mission will be fine, but if an accident occurs, Ling Luochen may not be able to protect Ye Chen.

Although Ye Chen is strong, he has absolutely no experience in this area, so Zhang Lexuan's presence is necessary to ensure his safety.

After Ye Chen completes a few more missions, he should no longer need protection.

……

"Is that so? Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Sister~" Ye Chen looked at Zhang Lexuan with gratitude in his eyes.

"No trouble."

Zhang Lexuan smiled calmly, then looked at Ye Chen with admiration in her dark purple eyes.

As Zhang Lexuan spoke, she stood up and came to Ye Chen's side, her eyes gentle as she said, "Your talent far surpasses mine, and you will surely become Shrek's Optimus Prime in the future. If you need anything, just tell me."

She came not only to protect Ye Chen, but also to test him.

If Ye Chen performs well, he can be allowed to join the inner academy ahead of schedule and enjoy the benefits of an inner academy disciple.

"Okay, thank you, Senior Sister~" Ye Chen nodded obediently.

He seemed honest and simple.

"He's well-behaved, but he's also a bit lewd..." Ma Xiaotao thought to herself as she looked at Ye Chen's obedient appearance.

However, despite saying that, she actually preferred Ye Chen this way.
