Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 61 Returning to Life

Back in the outer courtyard, Lin Chen met with his good friend whom he hadn't seen for several days and they exchanged pleasantries.

"Xiao Tu, how is it? How is it?" Xiao Xiao asked impatiently.

Before Lin Chen left, he told Lin Xiaolei about it, and Xiao Xiao naturally learned about Lin Chen's trip to obtain the sixth soul ring from her good friend.

"It's simple, a piece of cake," Lin Chen said.

"Sigh, I really envy you. I'm still a Soul King. I wonder when I'll be able to reach Soul Emperor." Xiao Xiao said with a forlorn expression.

"How dare you say that? I'm only level 47 now," Lin Xiaolei retorted, pinching Xiao Xiao's cheek.

The "Looking Through Autumn Water Dew" did not directly increase Lin Xiaolei's soul power, so Lin Xiaolei's soul power was the lowest among them. However, her mental strength was second only to Lin Chen, so her strength was not much worse than the others.

"Oh, Leilei, last time you sparred with me you almost killed me with your control. Do you dare say that's the kind of control a Soul Master could have?" Xiao Xiao said coquettishly, hugging Lin Xiaolei's arm.

"You're not bad either; those three cauldrons almost crushed me to death," Lin Xiaolei sneered.

Looking at this pair of fake besties, Lin Chen couldn't help but find it a little funny.

When things are good, they're really good; when it's time to bicker, they don't hold back at all.

"Alright, alright, let's go to class," Lin suggested, raising his hand.

The two girls then stopped talking and walked into the classroom with Lin Chen.

"Xiao Tu, what level are you in now?" During class, bored Xiao Xiao asked Lin Chen.

"Level 62."

Xiao Xiao's eyes widened in surprise as she exclaimed, "Xiao Tu, are you the chosen one? You've leveled up so fast!"

"I'm not, the one who went to study in the Sun Moon Empire is," Lin Chen thought to himself. But on the surface, he still said, "There's no such thing as a chosen one. Diligence can make up for lack of talent. I was just lucky."

"What's so great about that? I'll be a Soul Emperor soon too," Wang Dong muttered.

Lin Chen didn't say anything to this arrogant, competitive, and always striving-to-be-number-one second-generation genius, and turned back to his lesson.

To avoid Meng Hongchen's harassment, Wang Dong sat down next to Lin Chen. Lin Chen said, "Big sister, I don't know you well, why are you sitting next to me?"

He really didn't want to get involved. What if Meng Hongchen acted impulsively and came looking for trouble?

Fortunately, nothing happened after class.

After the afternoon physical education class, Lin Chen returned to his dormitory, took a refreshing cold shower, and then pushed his little soul guide cart to set up his stall.

"Lin Chen." Zhang Lexuan's voice reached Lin Chen's ears from in front of the stall.

"Sister Lexuan, what brings you here?" Lin Chen asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Xiaoyan wanted to find you, and I thought you were here, so I brought her along," Zhang Lexuan explained, while Tang Xiaoyan peeked out from behind Zhang Lexuan.

The eldest sister was beautiful and kind-hearted, and it didn't take long for her to become familiar with Tang Xiaoyan.

When they talked about Lin Chen, Zhang Lexuan said, "Don't be fooled by his quiet demeanor; he really won't do anything to you. He's just not good at taking care of children, but he's incredibly shameless around me."

Therefore, Tang Xiaoyan dared to ask Zhang Lexuan to bring her to find Lin Chen.

With your older sister here, what can you do to me?

Seeing Tang Xiaoyan cowering, Lin Chen took out a cup of freshly brewed milk tea and beckoned her over.

Seeing the delicious food, Tang Xiaoyan didn't care whether she was familiar with it or not, and ran towards Lin Chen with her short legs.

Lin Chen bent down and handed the milk tea to Tang Xiaoyan, who took it and gulped it down.

"This little guy loves to eat just like Xiao Xiao," Lin Chen thought to himself.

These days, following Lin Chen, Xiao Xiaoyan's meals have improved a lot. She has tried many delicious things that she had never eaten before, and her enthusiasm for food remains undiminished. She is indeed a foodie.

"What are your plans for her next?" Zhang Lexuan walked to Lin Chen's side, looked at Tang Xiaoyan who was grumbling beside him, and asked.

"Let's raise her for another four years. When she's six, we'll see if she's willing to awaken her martial soul. If she has the talent, I'll take her to Shrek Academy for an interview. If she's unwilling or her martial soul is useless, I'll take her to the village where I used to live and give her some money every month," Lin Chen said. This was the plan he had come up with in the past few days.

"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Sister Lexuan for the next four years," Lin Chen said apologetically as he handed Zhang Lexuan a cup of milk tea.

"There's no need for these words between us," Zhang Lexuan said, extending her delicate hand to take the milk tea, taking a small sip.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful woman before him, Lin Chen was momentarily stunned.

He seems to be interested!

At first, Lin Chen only regarded the beautiful woman in front of him, who had shown him kindness, was gentle and generous, kind and considerate, and had a tough exterior but a soft heart, as an older sister. However, as they spent more time together, Lin Chen seemed to find that he was slowly falling in love with Zhang Lexuan.

What night is this? To have met such a wonderful person.

Feeling a slight warmth on Zhang Lexuan's earlobes from Lin Chen's gaze, she gently scolded, "What are you looking at?"

Lin Chen snapped out of his daze and said with a smile, "Sister Le Xuan is so beautiful, she must have captivated countless men. It's only natural that I'm captivated by you!"

That's shameless.

"You have such a silver tongue, how many young girls do you think you can fool?" Zhang Lexuan rolled her eyes at him.

"If I can fool Sister Lexuan, then it'll be worth it," Lin Chen said cheerfully.

Hearing Lin Chen say that, Zhang Lexuan's earlobes became even hotter, and a blush appeared on her face. She slapped Lin Chen on the back in annoyance and said, "Get out."

You have no manners at all, you even dare to flirt with the eldest sister. When you get a little older, will you dare to marry me?

Lin Chen wasn't annoyed by the light slap from Zhang Lexuan. He cheerfully continued to serve customers at his stall, while Zhang Lexuan followed Tang Xiaoyan, strolling around like a family of three.

Although this is Shrek City, some skilled and special Soul Masters can easily kidnap a child without anyone noticing.

Not long after, Lin Xiaolei and Xiao Xiao arrived, having "smelled the scent".

Lin Chen was slightly surprised that Xiao Xiao was able to come. Shouldn't Xiao Xiao be in the inner courtyard?

When they saw Tang Xiaoyan, Xiao Xiao jumped up excitedly, "Wow, what an adorable child! Come here, call me 'sister' and I'll give you candy."

"Come on, you look about the same age as Xiaoyan," Lin Chen said.

"Mind your own business! I'll grow up soon!" Xiao Xiao said fiercely.

"Senior Sister!" Xiao Xiao immediately greeted Zhang Lexuan respectfully as she approached.

She had already been promoted to the inner court, and the name Zhang Lexuan was naturally well-known among the inner court disciples.
