Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 107 The Heavenly Battle Turmoil

Ye Liangchen said a lot of hurtful things, which demoralized the soldiers. They felt that there was no point in serving this corrupt royal family, so one by one they left, leaving Prince Xuexing bewildered in the wind.

"Come back, and don't listen to his incitement."

"Aren't you afraid of being punished by the royal family?"

Prince Xuexing shouted angrily at the soldiers, which immediately enraged them.

"My whole family died in the war, and now I'm all alone. Prince Xuexing, if you dare to spout any more nonsense, I'll kill you first."

At this moment, a soldier, unable to bear it any longer, roared at Prince Xuexing in a fit of rage.

"Exactly, we were patrolling the streets today, doing a good job, when you, this old man, called us to the auction house, saying there was some kind of enemy. In the end, you sent us to deal with a Title Douluo. You're clearly sending us to our deaths."

"Hey guys, let's kill him first. He's a bachelor anyway, he can always be a hero again in ten or twenty years."

When people are pushed to the limit, they are capable of anything. Dozens of soldiers erupted in anger and charged at Prince Xuexing, brandishing their weapons.

"Rebellion! Rebellion!"

"Qinghe, Qinghe, save me... save me..."

Prince Xuexing was immediately alarmed and hurriedly dragged his heavily injured body backward, pleading for help from Xue Qinghe.

"Everyone, don't act rashly."

Qian Renxue, who plays Xue Qinghe, pretends to step forward to stop the impulsive soldiers, but she finds it very funny in her heart.

She never expected that these soldiers would turn against her and directly try to kill Prince Xuexing; it was truly unexpected.

"Your Highness, that young man is right. A man should have principles and principles. Serving such a scoundrel disgusts us. Since we're all going to die sooner or later anyway, we might as well take a prince down with us before we die. That would be a win."

The soldiers completely ignored Xue Qinghe and continued to charge towards Xue Xing, brandishing their weapons.

"Listen to me, everyone. As the Crown Prince, I guarantee that I will not punish you. Besides, my uncle is only a prince and has no right to convict you."

Seeing that the soldiers' morale was already in disarray, Xue Qinghe was overjoyed. This was the perfect opportunity for him to win back the soldiers' hearts, so he decided to strike while the iron was hot.

"Brothers, as the saying goes, are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?"

"It's pointless for you to serve such a corrupt royal family. If war breaks out, you'll just be cannon fodder, and you won't get a share of the spoils. If it were me, I would have killed those high and mighty nobles of the royal family long ago."

Ye Liangchen found it quite amusing to see the soldiers in such a chaotic state, so he added fuel to the fire, instantly causing their resolve to waver once again.

"Yes! In a war, we're the ones charging at the front, the ones dying the fastest, while the Xue family gets to enjoy the best of everything. Why should they?"

"They've rebelled..."

Many soldiers were now provoked and shouted loudly, expressing their dissatisfaction with the Xue family's rule.

"Brother Long Chen, please stop talking."

Xue Qinghe hurriedly shouted at Ye Liangchen, "The situation is already chaotic enough, and the other party is adding fuel to the fire. What a troublemaker!"

"Your Highness, enjoy your time! We're leaving now, hahaha..."

Ye Liangchen waved to Xue Qinghe, called to the women, and left the place with a flourish.

"Oh, my good daughter, look at other people, you should learn from them."

"This is a great opportunity, so make the most of it. But don't give yourself away when you're cleaning up the mess."

As Bibi Dong was leaving, she deliberately passed by Qian Renxue and secretly transmitted her voice to her using her soul power, while also teasing her.

"boom"

Qian Renxue's mind went blank. It was Bibi Dong's voice. She never expected that the black-robed, masked woman from before was actually her mother.

How could her mother, who hated her, be walking with Long Chen? And who are these strange women? Why has she changed so much? Could it be related to that boy named Long Chen?

When Qian Renxue came to her senses, she found that Ye Liangchen and his group had already disappeared on the street. She had no choice but to compose herself and, using her status as the Crown Prince, clean up the mess before her.

"Your Highness, what should we do? The situation is getting chaotic," the subordinate said anxiously.

"Call someone immediately."

The thousands of soldiers were provoked by Ye Liangchen's words, "Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?" and began to stir. Xue Qinghe was so frightened that he immediately sent people to notify the other city guards to maintain order, otherwise it might cause chaos in the Heavenly Battle.

……

After Ye Liangchen and his group quickly left the street where the auction house was located, they left Tiandou Imperial City directly. From time to time, they saw groups of city guards running towards the street where the auction house was located.

"You really pulled off this stunt, kid!"

To ensure Ye Liangchen's safety, Bibi Dong and Ling Yuan also left together.

"Godmother, this is the only way I can divert the attention of the Heavenly Dou City army. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if tens of thousands of troops came to attack me."

Ye Liangchen shrugged. Trouble had come knocking, and he could only deal with it as it came.

"You little rascal, you've really shown us something today."

Shui Lanxin rubbed Ye Liangchen's head. She was ready to go on a killing spree, but the little guy managed to resolve the situation with just a few words.

"Let's get out of this troublesome place quickly!" Bibi Dong urged everyone to speed up and leave the imperial city.

As evening fell, the group arrived at a valley on the outskirts of Tiandou City, intending to spend the night there.

Ye Liangchen's few words at the auction house entrance had shaken the morale of the soldiers, which greatly shocked Bibi Dong.

"Shui Lanxin, where did this little one learn all that from?"

"He probably learned it from books. The little guy has loved reading since he was a child. He's smart and often comes up with some imaginative ideas."

"Xiao Chen said before that only soldiers who serve the people can be called true soldiers, otherwise they are just a bunch of dogs under the powerful and wealthy. I agree with that."

"Prince Xuexing has suffered such a huge blow this time, he's probably going crazy."

"Xiao Chen's previous statement, 'Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?' will definitely shake up the Heavenly Dou Empire. That old guy Xue Ye will probably have a headache this time."

"This kid is a real talent. His previous words, which were so hurtful, directly caused the soldiers brought by Xue Xing to turn against him. It's unbelievable."

Bibi Dong and Shui Lanxin chatted while watching Ye Liangchen, who was cooking dinner over a fire nearby.

At this moment, Ye Liangchen was preparing a few pheasants to make a beggar's chicken for everyone, with Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Bing'er helping him out.

"Brother Chen, we actually beat up Prince Xuexing today! That was so exciting!" The little kitten had grown much bolder after hanging out with Ye Liangchen for a while.

"Xiao Chen, do you think the royal family of the Heavenly Dou Empire will retaliate after we caused such a commotion today?" Shui Bing'er was a little worried about what had happened today.

"What's the big deal? We didn't reveal our true colors today, nor did we use our martial souls. Prince Xuexing didn't even know who beat him. Plus, Aunt Lan and the others demonstrated the strength of Title Douluo. The Heaven Dou Empire can only suffer in silence and dare not do anything."

"What I said to those soldiers will definitely spread throughout the army, and that will cause quite a stir. Perhaps the Heavenly Dou Royal Family is currently trying to calm the soldiers down!"

Ye Liangchen didn't take the people of the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family seriously at all. When Dugu Bo was around, there was still a Title Douluo. Now that the old man is gone, the Heaven Dou royal family's high-end combat power on the surface is only Grand Marshal Ge Long and the three teaching committee members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. These people are only Soul Douluos. As for Emperor Xue Ye, like Xue Xing, he is just an old man whose body has been emptied by wine and women. He is not worth mentioning.

Two hours later, several fragrant beggar's chickens were cooked. Ye Liangchen dug them out of the fire pit and brought them to Bibi Dong and Shui Lanxin.

"Can this dark thing be eaten?" Bibi Dong and the other girls asked curiously.

"This dish that Xiao Chen made is called Beggar's Chicken. We ate it several times in Sunset Forest a while ago, and it tasted so good..."

Shui Bing'er used a stick to break open the clods of soil and unwrapped the pheasant meat wrapped in lotus leaves.

"Mmm! It smells so good!"

Bibi Dong and the other girls couldn't help but be tempted by the delicious-looking pheasant meat.

"The taste is not bad."

Ye Liangchen tore off a chicken leg and started gnawing on it.

"Xiao Chen, mind your manners! His Holiness the Pope is watching!"

Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing used daggers to cut the chicken into small pieces and then put them on a plate.

"We're all family here, why worry about appearances? The best way to eat beggar's chicken is to each hold one and gnaw on it, that's the real enjoyment."

"Aunt Lan, Godmother, don't pretend to be so refined. You won't get any later; you'll only get the bones."

Ye Liangchen urged everyone to start eating quickly, saying they were starving after a long day of work.

"You brat, we'd still eat it even if you didn't tell us."

"Pope, Lingyuan, give it a try! That brat's cooking is absolutely superb!"

Shui Lanxin smiled and invited Bibi Dong to try it, saying that it was a rare treat to eat such a delicacy in the wild.

"Mmm! It tastes really good." Bibi Dong picked up a piece, put it in her mouth, and her eyes immediately lit up.

"Xiao Chen, I never knew you were such a good cook," Ling Yuan praised as she ate.

"To be a genius, you have to be proficient in everything. Otherwise, if all you know is how to cultivate and become stronger, and then it's just fighting and killing, then that kind of life loses its meaning..."

Ye Liangchen transformed into a charlatan, earnestly spouting a bunch of life philosophies, all for Bibi Dong's benefit, hoping she would take them to heart.

"You brat, you're spouting nonsense in front of the Pope again."

Shui Lanxin grabbed Ye Liangchen's ear, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Nothing was said that night. After dawn, Bibi Dong and Ye Liangchen and the others parted ways.

"Xiao Chen, your godmother has gone back to the Spirit Hall first. I'll come see you again when I have time."

Before leaving, Bibi Dong hugged Ye Liangchen and gave him another facial massage.

"Godmother, when you're in a bad mood, just recite the Ice Heart Mantra."

Faced with this enthusiastic female pope, Ye Liangchen also hoped that she would have a good ending and not become the crazy woman in the original story.

"Okay! Godmother knows."

"Shui Lanxin, Shui Lanyue, protect my godson and don't let him get hurt."

Goodbye, Xiao Chen.

Bibi Dong and Ling Yuan waved goodbye to Ye Liangchen and his group, and disappeared in a few moments.

"You brat, you've captured the heart of the stunningly beautiful female pope. From now on, you'll be the most handsome guy on the entire continent."

"Let's go! It's time for us to return to Tianshui City."

Shui Lanxin smiled and took Ye Liangchen's hand, then called to the others and quickly headed towards Beiyuan Province.

……

Just as Ye Liangchen and his group left, the Tian Dou royal family was in complete chaos. Under Qian Renxue's secret manipulation, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were discussing the topic of "Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?" This gave Marshal Ge Long a headache, but he couldn't kill them all, so he had no choice but to report to the royal family.

"Xuexing, what on earth are you doing?"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't interfere in the auction of pills by their owners? Why did you get involved with them again?"

Emperor Xueye sat on the throne in the palace hall, questioning Xuexing with a look of disappointment and frustration.

"Your Majesty, I am doing this to uphold the dignity of the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family."

Xue Xing said tremblingly, his heart filled with bitterness he couldn't express! He had ruined his testicles because of this matter, and although they had recovered somewhat under the treatment of the healing soul master, he didn't know if they would still be usable in the future.

"Father, the whole thing started because of the auction of slaves. The owner of the pills used his status as a Limit Douluo to prevent the auction house from selling slaves. My uncle probably didn't believe it, so he led the army to test their strength, which resulted in the appearance of four female Title Douluos, three of whom have 10-year soul rings..."

Xue Qinghe recounted the entire story of what happened at the auction house that day.

"Snap..."

Emperor Xueye was so angry that he smashed his cup. It was all because his younger brother had courted disaster and caused such a big trouble.

"Xue Xing, you should retire! Stop managing anything related to the royal family. Also, hand over the Tian Dou Auction House to Qing He."

"Qinghe, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the army are rioting. Marshal Gelong is at his wits' end. You must go and appease them as the Crown Prince immediately, otherwise the royal family of the Tiandou Empire may not be able to sit still."

Emperor Xue Ye had few people around him, so he had to let Xue Qinghe handle the matter entirely.

"Father, I will certainly not fail in my mission."

Xue Qinghe feigned modesty as he accepted the job, but inwardly he was almost laughing. "Old man! This time I finally have a chance to get involved in military affairs."

Prince Xuexing returned to his palace in a daze, looking at Xue Beng who had come to visit him, and sighed, "It's all over, all over."

"Uncle, how did it get like this?"

Xue Beng didn't know if his uncle had dementia, actually leading an army to block four powerful Title Douluos. He thought to himself: I, Xue Beng, would never do something so brainless. Now, he might completely lose his chance at the throne.

"Hey! Avalanche, the Long Chen that your uncle met is even more arrogant and terrifying than Lan Chen who beat you before. He only said a few words and he got thousands of soldiers to turn against me and kill me. This kind of person is simply a monster, too scary."

Xuexing felt a chill run down her spine when she recalled her previous experience, especially that fatal kick that could kill a child; she could still feel a deep sadness about it.

"Uncle, what should we do now? Xue Qinghe is thriving!"

"What else can we do? We'll just have to accept it! Because of my misjudgment, the morale of the army has wavered, and your father has ordered me to retire. I can only lie low and hide in the shadows for now."

"Why……"

Faced with this situation, Xuexing and Xuebeng, uncle and nephew, could only sigh and drink in silence, trying to drown their sorrows.
