Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 247 A Peaceful Life

After washing the dishes, Lin Chen went outside and sat down, listening to the group chat, occasionally chiming in with a comment or two. Although he didn't know most of what they were talking about, he could still listen to it as some amusing anecdotes.

Lin Chen and Qian Renxue are both enjoying their current lives.

Hearing Uncle Chang's intermittent coughing, Lin Chen decided that he must treat him.

"By the way, Lin Chen, you're a Soul Master now, right?" Uncle Chang asked.

When Lin Chen returned last time, Uncle Chang didn't ask, simply because he thought Lin Chen was too young and probably not a Soul Master. Now, with Lin Chen's age, his appearance and demeanor have become more mature, and coupled with his attire, Uncle Chang guessed that he was a Soul Master.

Lin Chen nodded, and said with some pride, "That's right, I'm a Soul Master now!"

"You child, you must be careful out there. I've heard that people die frequently in the world of Soul Masters," the white-haired old woman said.

"Oh, Auntie, don't worry, I'm doing fine outside, no one dares to bully me."

That's the truth. Now, apart from the gods in the heavens, no one in the Douluo Continent dares to bully him. Even if it's a level 99 Limit Douluo, Lin Chen isn't afraid to fight him.

Besides possessing dual soul cores, Lin Chen also had immense confidence in the Seven Kill Sword.

The group chatted until late at night before Uncle Chang, escorted by Lin Chen, returned to his small house.

"Alright, that's enough for now. You should go home and get some rest." Uncle Chang said to Lin Chen as they arrived at his doorstep.

"Okay, I'll head back now."

Chang Bo nodded, then closed the door and went into his room.

Lin Chen returned to the house, took out a few spiritual herbs from his storage bag, and gently pounded them with a stick.

These were all obtained by Lin Chen from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well back then. They were of little use to him, but they were very beneficial to Chang Bo's health.

During the grinding process, Lin Chen also mixed in some soul power of the ultimate light attribute, which could help Chang Bo unblock his meridians and cleanse his internal organs.

The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, Lin Chen finally woke up.

After washing up, Lin Chen took the medicine he had prepared the night before and headed to Uncle Chang's house.

Old people don't need much sleep, and Lin Chen saw Uncle Chang sitting at the door smoking from afar.

"Good morning, Uncle Chang!" Lin Chen greeted him first.

"The sun's already high in the sky, why are you only getting up now? But young people should sleep in a little longer," Chang Bo chuckled.

Lin Chen took out a packet of medicine and handed it to Uncle Chang, saying, "Uncle Chang, take a handful and soak it in water to drink every night. It's good for your health."

Uncle Chang did not refuse, and with a smile, he hung the medicine bag that Lin Chen gave him on his waist.

"How long do you plan to stay this time?" Uncle Chang asked.

"I don't know either, but it'll definitely take at least a month. There's a war going on outside right now, and I don't really want to go out," Lin Chen replied.

"Oh, so there's a war going on outside. Then you really shouldn't go back; it's too unsafe." Uncle Chang nodded in agreement.

As the two were chatting, a fisherman walked over.

"Hey, Uncle Chang, I caught a few big fish today, here's one for you," the fisherman's cheerful voice rang out.

"Why would I give this to you? I'm an old man who hasn't cooked in ages. Take it back and eat it yourself," Uncle Chang refused.

But the fisherman ignored it, put the fish down, and ran away quickly.

"This guy always insists on sending fish over; there's just no way to deal with him," Uncle Chang said with a chuckle.

"What should we do with this fish?" Lin Chen asked.

"Sigh, I usually just deliver the fish to Old Li's house and let them add it to their meal, but since you're here, I'll reluctantly cook it again," Uncle Chang said. He then got up with the help of his wooden cane, and Lin Chen quickly got up to support him.

It was almost noon, so Uncle Chang got up and took the fish into the house.

Lin Chen followed Uncle Chang back into the house. Seeing that Uncle Chang was about to turn on the boiler, he used his soul power to sweep away all the dust that had accumulated on the surface.

"Wow, the Soul Master's skills are that great?" Uncle Chang was somewhat surprised.

"That's right, I have many more skills than that, would you like to see them?"

"Get lost!"

Uncle Chang chopped the head and body of the big fish in half. He used the head to make soup, and sliced ​​the fish meat off the body piece by piece.

"Go to town and buy some rice and vegetables. I still have scallions, ginger, garlic, and cooking wine here," Uncle Chang instructed.

"Okay!" Lin Chen agreed immediately and then ran out in a flash.

Uncle Chang then marinated the prepared fish to remove the fishy smell, and then sat down and lit a cigarette.

Lin Chen was incredibly fast, and he returned in no time.

In fact, Lin Chen used a little trick to get back so quickly, because he didn't want Uncle Chang to wait too long.

When Chang Bo saw Lin Chen return, he was initially a little surprised, but after realizing that Lin Chen was a Soul Master, it was not surprising.

So he got up and continued making lunch.

Not long after, Uncle Chang came out carrying a fish.

Lin Chen hurriedly grabbed two bowls, scooped a few spoonfuls of soup from the pot, and placed them in front of Uncle Chang and himself.

There was only one dish: a soup made with greens and fish head. It was simple, but very cozy.

Given Chang Bo's current physical condition, it is indeed not suitable for him to work too hard.

Lin Chen picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth. Although it didn't have the freshness of fish raised in Sea God Lake, it had a more rustic flavor, which Lin Chen liked very much.

……

In the blink of an eye, Lin Chen had been living in Peach Blossom Village for a month.

Lin Chen was quite satisfied with his month-long seclusion.

Since taking Lin Chen's medicine, Uncle Chang's complexion has visibly become rosy, and his cough has disappeared. Lin Chen also secretly learned fishing from Uncle Chang and goes fishing every day when he has nothing else to do.

That morning, Lin Chen was carrying his fishing gear, about to go fishing, when he frowned.

"Brother, does anyone actually live in this godforsaken place? Just ahead is the far north." A shifty-eyed young man asked the scarred giant.

"What do you know? This map has been passed down from my ancestors for generations. Now that there's war everywhere, the people from those villages have all fled to who knows where. They can only try their luck here," the scarred man glared at him and said.

"Look! Big brother, there really is a small village ahead!" another henchman exclaimed excitedly.

A sinister smile crept across the scarred man's face. "Let's go, let's make some money!"

"Yes, boss!"

The group walked up and down the slope together, and as they walked, a young man dressed in plain clothes appeared before them.

"Hey kid, stop right there!"
