Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 33 Seeing Ye Lengleng Again

Tian Dou City.

This is the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, and one of the largest and most prosperous cities on the Douluo Continent.

The walls of Tiandou City are hundreds of meters high and are made entirely of the hardest granite. The city gate is ten meters high and ten meters wide, enough for six riders to ride abreast. There are also two side gates, each five meters high and wide.

On and around the city walls, the patrolling soldiers were all fully armored and carried long spears. Their fierce and valiant nature was evident from the menacing aura emanating from them.

Upon entering the city, the streets and alleys were teeming with people, bustling with activity.

A graceful young woman stood on the street, gazing into the distance, seemingly waiting for something.

She wore a light white dress, her figure was slender and graceful, her long blue hair cascaded down her back, and her bright, lively eyes sparkled like flower buds about to bloom, shy yet innocent, exuding a fresh and ethereal aura.

Their demeanor and appearance drew attention, with occasional glances of amazement.

However, behind the girl were two burly guards who looked around menacingly.

At the foot of the capital, most people are discerning; this young woman must be of noble birth and wealth. They should be careful not to bring trouble upon themselves.

"Isn't this Lingling?"

Just then, a somewhat frivolous voice rang out.

Upon hearing this voice, Ye Lengleng's originally beautiful face visibly wrinkled. Turning her head, she saw a slightly chubby man walking over with a wicked grin. The two family guards beside Ye Lengleng wanted to step forward to stop him, but the man also brought several guards, who all stepped forward and shoved the two Ye family guards aside.

"Liu Lang, what are you doing?"

Ye Lengleng's already furrowed brows were now tightly knitted, and she spoke to the man with displeasure.

The man's name was Liu Lang, also a student at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, two years her senior. He had been relentlessly pursuing her since she enrolled. Although Ye Lengleng had clearly rejected him, he continued to pester her. Students at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy were all wealthy and powerful, and Liu Lang had a royal background. Ye Lengleng couldn't embarrass him too much, so she could only try to avoid him as much as possible.

"Leng Leng, meeting is fate."

Liu Lang's smile widened, and he stepped forward to take Ye Lengleng's hand: "Although we're in the same academy, we haven't seen each other for over ten days. It's a rare occasion to meet today, so let me show you around Tiandou City!"

Seeing that Liu Lang was actually about to attack, Ye Lengleng was so frightened that she quickly took a few steps back: "Senior Liu, please have some self-respect!"

"Leng Leng, why are you doing this?"

Liu Lang's smile remained, but now held a hint of malice: "Lingling, you're a smart person too. Don't you understand why your grandfather arranged for you to study at the remote Sylvia Kingdom's Junior Soul Master Academy, but ultimately called you back to Heaven Dou Academy?"

Ye Lengleng's expression instantly became unnatural. She was an extremely intelligent person. When she was 6 years old, she did not understand why her family had arranged for her to go to a remote place. But after returning and learning about her family's situation in Tiandou City, she understood everything.

The Nine-Hearted Begonia is a miracle in the world of Soul Masters. How could the Heaven Dou Royal Family not be tempted by such a martial soul? In the past, the family had a Soul Douluo-level elder, which gave the Heaven Dou Royal Family some apprehension. However, that elder passed away when she was three years old. Although her grandfather also possessed Soul Douluo-level cultivation, like her, his martial soul was the Nine-Hearted Begonia, which had absolutely no offensive power.

However, due to her grandfather's powerful healing abilities, many strong individuals on the continent had received his kindness, so the Heavenly Dou royal family dared not go too far.

However, these powerful figures could not keep an eye on this place all the time. On the surface, the Heavenly Dou Royal Family always appeared to value the Nine Heart Begonia Family, but behind the scenes, they were constantly making small moves, using various means to try to force her grandfather to submit. All of this reached its peak when she awakened her martial soul at the age of six.

The Nine Heart Begonia is a lineage that can only exist in the world. If she, the successor of the Nine Heart Begonia, can marry into the royal family, then all Soul Masters who awaken the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul in the future will carry the bloodline of the Heaven Dou royal family. Wouldn't that be equivalent to the Nine Heart Begonia joining the Heaven Dou royal family?

Her grandfather and father did not want her to get involved in the royal family's affairs, so not long after she awakened her martial soul, they used their connections to send her to the Kingdom of Sylvia, which was far away from Tiandou. However, they were unable to withstand the constant pressure from the royal family and compromised by returning to Tiandou City to study at the Royal Soul Master Academy after she graduated from the primary soul master academy.

Seeing that Ye Lengleng remained silent, Liu Lang became even more smug and took two more steps to try to take Ye Lengleng's hand again: "Lengleng, believe me, I will definitely treat you well. My mother is a princess of the royal family. As long as you are willing to marry me, the royal family will definitely do everything in its power to support your family."

"Where did this toad come from, dreaming of eating swan meat!"

Just then, a voice that Ye Lengleng was very familiar with rang in her ears, a hand grasped her small hand, and with a gentle pull, she was pulled behind her, and a familiar figure stood in front of her.

"Brother Xiao Yu!"

Finally seeing the person she had been waiting for, Ye Lengleng's gloom vanished, and even her voice was filled with joy.

"Little girl, have you been waiting long?"

Xiao Yu smiled slightly: "It's all my fault for arriving too late, which is why some annoying flies bothered you!"

"Hey kid, who are you talking to!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's mockery, Liu Lang flew into a rage. More importantly, he saw the undisguised affection in Ye Leng Leng's eyes and immediately rushed forward to punch him.

Snapped!

Xiao Yu easily grabbed Liu Lang's fist and slapped him across the fat face with his other hand, the force of which sent him spinning on the spot.

Liu Lang spun around three times before finally stopping, almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, his guards reacted quickly and caught him.

"All of you, attack together and beat this damned bastard to death!"

Liu Lang barely managed to steady himself, and immediately pointed at Xiao Yu and shouted loudly at the guards.

Upon hearing this, several guards immediately stepped forward, but Xiao Yu sneered disdainfully. He could handle several Soul Masters and Great Soul Masters on his own, without even needing Aiolia and Milo, who were secretly following him.

boom!

The level 40 soul power fluctuations emanated outwards, and a powerful aura instantly stunned the guards on the spot. As for Liu Lang, he was an uneducated and incompetent person. Although he had the cultivation of a Great Soul Master, he idled away his days and did not know how to diligently train and solidify his foundation. His soul power was weak and floating, like a castle in the air. He was directly forced to kneel on the ground by Xiao Yu's soul pressure.
