Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 87 Accident

The next morning, after everyone had finished washing up, they headed to Tiandou City.

Because Zhu Zhuqing's soul power level was low, Dugu Bo could only carry her while flying, protecting her with his soul power.

Three days later, outside Tiandou City.

After the group of five arrived at Tiandou City, Dugu Bo put Zhu Zhuqing down.

"Many thanks to Your Majesty Dugu and Xiao Yi for their help this time. As for Zhu Zhuqing, let her go directly to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy tomorrow," Qian Renxue said.

"Alright, I'll leave her enrollment to you. I'll have Yanzi take her there tomorrow," Xiao Yi replied.

"Then we'll head back now."

Afterwards, Serpent Spear Douluo and Qian Renxue returned directly to the Crown Prince's residence, leaving only Dugu Bo and the other two outside the city.

"Yi'er, you should go home first. I need to go to the herb garden," Dugu Bo said.

After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he flew towards the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, leaving only Xiao Yi and Dugu Bo staring at each other.

"Ahem, then you can come with me," Xiao Yi said after coughing twice.

What could Zhu Zhuqing say? She could only follow Xiao Yi's lead.

The two then headed to the Dugu residence.

On the way to the Dugu residence, Zhu Zhuqing also raised the questions that had been on her mind.

"Why did you save me? And why did you take me to see Dai Mubai?"

After listening to Zhu Zhuqing's words, Xiao Yi thought for a while and said, "I know the rules of your Star Luo Empire. It is nothing more than two pairs of princes and their fiancées dueling before the age of twenty-five."

In this generation, it's the eldest prince, Davis, and your sister, Zhu Zhuyun, against you and your fiancé, Dai Mubai. Your fiancé, Dai Mubai, is a coward; he abandoned you and ran away, leaving you to endure the oppression from your sister and Davis.

"But you were unwilling to be wiped out or imprisoned without doing anything, so you escaped from the Duke of Youming's mansion to find Dai Mubai, hoping to win the Soul Master Competition with him two years later and survive, right?"

Zhu Zhuqing was about to speak after hearing Xiao Yi finish speaking, word by word, when she was interrupted.

"But you didn't expect that your sister would find out about you not long after you left the Duke's mansion, and then your sister would lead several people to hunt you down."

"From my perspective, your sister appears to be chasing you, but she's actually protecting you. Think about it, a Soul Master with four or five Soul Venerables is chasing you, but you don't have any fatal injuries. Isn't that strange?"

After hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing recalled the situation of Zhu Zhuyun's pursuit.

Indeed, Zhu Zhuyun always kept a distance from her while chasing her, occasionally catching up to unleash her soul skills to make her feel the pressure and speed up.

"As for why I saved you, Dai Mubai is, in my opinion, a playboy who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun. He spends his days indulging in pleasure and is clearly someone who only thinks with his lower body. You've seen Dai Mubai yourself; when he was holding those twin sisters, did he ever think about his fiancée? Besides, who knows if he has any diseases from sleeping with so many women?"

"Moreover, the academy he's currently attending is a dubious institution, the kind without any qualifications or certifications, located in a small village outside Soto City."

"That academy is called Shrek Academy. The admission standard is that the soul power must reach level 20 by the age of 12, and the graduation requirement is to break through level 40 before the age of 20."

The teaching resources inside are quite abundant, with three Soul Saints and four Soul Emperors.

At twelve years old and level twenty, that means only those with innate level seven or higher soul power can meet the standard, which means they need to have the same talent as you. Moreover, the soul rings must be optimally configured. Shrek Academy has been running for twenty years and has enrolled sixty-two students, of whom only 14 have graduated. The school motto is "Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre." The other students who did not graduate either died while hunting for soul rings or ran away when they realized something was wrong.

"Moreover, Shrek Academy has neither resources nor a simulated environment, so it can be said that it relies purely on talent."

"Moreover, the students are left to their own devices. Once they graduate, they are praised for their achievements, and if you don't graduate, it's because you didn't work hard enough."

"A level seven innate soul power would make someone a promising talent anywhere, but their methods have ruined countless students."

"As for saving you, it's because you're kind-hearted and unwilling to give up, which suits me well. Plus, I have a tiny bit of ability, so I'll help you."

"I brought you back because I didn't want you to be led astray by Shrek Academy."

After hearing Xiao Yi's explanation, Zhu Zhuqing felt relieved. Admittedly, she felt guilty seeing Dai Mubai's dissolute behavior after finding him, but she would eventually forgive him. After all, they were engaged, and under the guidance of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, her mindset would gradually shift towards Dai Mubai. This was because the Martial Soul Fusion Skill was mainly driven by the White Tiger, and her Netherworld Cat was merely an add-on to the fusion into the Netherworld White Tiger.

Besides, she had no emotional foundation with Dai Mubai; all she had was a marriage contract. They had only met once since they were engaged, and Dai Mubai had run away when she was nine. Now that she had seen Dai Mubai's true colors, all she felt for him was disgust.

"Alright, we've arrived," Xiao Yi said.

"Yanzi, we're back!" Xiao Yi called out to the house as soon as he arrived outside the Dugu residence.

Just then, Dugu Yan brought the dishes out of the kitchen. Ye Lingling was also in the room at that moment.

"Lingling, come help me! He's back."

"Okay."

"Could he not be home?" Xiao Yi wondered to himself.

Xiao Yi then led Zhu Zhuqing into the Dugu residence.

After entering the house, Xiao Yi found Dugu Yan and the other person carrying dishes from the kitchen.

"Yi, you're back. And who is this?" Dugu Yan asked, puzzled.

Just as Dugu Yan brought the last dish to the table, she happened to see Zhu Zhuqing.

"Hiss, where did Yi kidnap this girl from? Her weapon is so big." Dugu Yan thought to herself.

"Oh, this is someone we rescued on our way back. Her name is Zhu Zhuqing," Xiao Yi introduced.

Zhu Zhuqing was also surprised to see Dugu Yan: "This sister is also very beautiful, just as beautiful as the blonde sister from before."

"Ahem, since you're here, we're friends. Please have a seat," Dugu Yan said.

However, Dugu Yan said she was sitting down but was actually very flustered: "Wanla, why did you bring someone back at this time? What should we do?"

An hour ago, Dugu Yan sensed Xiao Yi's impending return through the Acacia Heartbreak Red. So, while cooking in the kitchen, she secretly added a little something to the food, a colorless and odorless ingredient that, it was said, could knock out a cow.

Dugu Yan didn't tell Ye Lingling about her plan to bring Ye Lingling and Xiao Yi together, because having someone prepared would make things more complicated.

As a result, she didn't know that Xiao Yi would bring someone back, so the dishes were already on the table and there wasn't time to remake them.

"Hmm? Yanzi even cooked so many dishes for me. Don't be shy, sit down and eat," Xiao Yi said.

"Okay." Zhu Zhuqing sat down and picked up her chopsticks after hearing Xiao Yi's words.

After sitting down, Xiao Yi first served Dugu Yan a bite of food, then served himself a bite before starting his meal.

Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing also picked up their food and prepared to eat.

"No!" Only then did Dugu Yan realize what was happening.

"Huh? What's wrong with Yanzi?" Xiao Yi hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation.

At this moment, Xiao Yi and the other two had already put the food in their mouths.

Upon seeing this, Dugu Yan thought to herself, "It's over, it's too late."

"Hmm! Not bad, Yanzi, your cooking is really good." Xiao Yi praised with his eyes lit up after putting the dish in his mouth.

Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up, and they also sped up their eating.

"Yanzi, why aren't you eating? Your cooking is so good." Xiao Yi urged Dugu Yan when he saw that she hadn't touched her chopsticks.

Seeing the three of them enjoying their meal so much, Dugu Yan thought to herself, "It's all over, it's all over."

"Well, since we've already eaten, it's too late to say anything now."

Thinking of this, Dugu Yan forced herself to start eating.

The meal was quickly finished, and Dugu Yan felt uneasy after clearing away the dishes.

Xiao Yi noticed that Dugu Yan's expression had been off ever since he sat down.

"Yanzi, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Xiao Yi asked.

"I...I'm fine, but the four of us will be in trouble soon," Dugu Yan said anxiously.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yi asked, puzzled.

"That's...that's it."

"Hmm~"

Before Dugu Yan could finish speaking, Xiao Yi heard a strange sound. He turned around and saw that Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling's faces were flushed. Then Dugu Yan's face also turned red. Even he himself felt hot all over, as if he had something to vent.

"Yanzi...you..." Even if Xiao Yi was slow to realize what was going on, he knew he had been drugged.

He was fine after being drugged, but what about Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing? Ye Lingling is Yanzi's best friend, and Zhu Zhuqing was brought back by her. This happened right after she brought Zhu Zhuqing back. What will people think of him if word gets out?

"Don't talk... Yi, I've liked you for a long time, take me." Ye Lingling pressed herself against him.

At this moment, Ye Lingling's whole body was flushed, her eyes were glazed, and the breath she exhaled hit Xiao Yi's ear.

Zhu Zhuqing, despite her discomfort, sat down beside her, though she herself was not feeling well.

Feeling Ye Lingling's breath, Xiao Yi suppressed his physical reaction and said, "You're Yanzi's best friend, we can't do this."

"Yanzi knows I like you, and she doesn't mind," Ye Lingling said, her breath sweet and her mind hazy.

Xiao Yi noticed that Ye Lingling was not in good condition. He then looked at Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing and found that they were also in poor condition. He then realized that Dugu Yan had planned ahead. Dugu Yan knew that the medicine she took, which was like the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb, would not work. Only by using a special aphrodisiac that was colorless and odorless and adding strong ingredients could it have an effect on her.

"If this continues, they will damage their foundation. We must solve this problem for them," Xiao Yi thought to himself.

"I'm just sorry to Zhu Zhuqing, I got involved as soon as I got back." Xiao Yi apologized inwardly.

Just then, Ye Lingling's hands began to grope Xiao Yi's body, trying to unbutton his clothes.

Xiao Yi was no saint either. In this situation, coupled with the special medicine he had taken, his brain had lost its ability to think. So, after bringing the three women to the room, he pounced on them.

A night of revelry.
