"Kitten! Raise your hands a little higher, the fisting posture is wrong, the footwork is wrong, and the legs should be stretched forward half a step."
"Brother Chen, am I stupid? I have learned these moves three times, but I still haven't mastered them."
"Don't worry, take your time, and you will be fine once you are proficient."
"I must learn it and not let Brother Chen down."
On this day, Ye Liangchen was sitting on a big rock, guiding Zhu Zhuqing to practice the Tiger Fist and Leopard Fist of the Five Elements Divine Fist. Zhu Zhuqing's martial soul is the Nether Spirit Cat. Ye Liangchen thinks that the Tiger Fist and Leopard Fist are quite suitable for her, so that she can hone her physical strength.
Since the two met, they have been in the valley for five days. The scenery here is beautiful, and Ye Liangchen has no intention of leaving this place for the time being.
During a conversation, Zhu Zhuqing learned that Ye Liangchen was only 10 days older than her, so she directly called him Brother Chen.
After five days of getting along day and night, the relationship between the two is getting better and better. They have become good friends who can talk about anything. Zhu Zhuqing is also becoming more and more clingy. No matter where Ye Liangchen goes, she follows him, as if she is a quiet little cat.
Ye Liangchen thinks that this is because Zhu Zhuqing has been suppressed by Zhu Zhuyun for a long time in the Xingluo Empire and lacks a sense of security. Suddenly she met someone who can protect her, which makes her life full of hope. Now she can't be
driven away even if she is chased away. Of course, Ye Liangchen will not drive her away. It's not easy to meet such a gentle little cat, so of course he has to keep her by his side.
Tang San next door has a rabbit. The rabbit calls Tang San "brother" every day, which makes Tang San very happy.
Now the little cat calls himself Brother Chen. Ye Liangchen feels like he has a cat, and it is a gentle and quiet little cat. It's so cool.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo..."
Zhu Zhuqing practiced each set of movements seriously, with a determined look on her face. Her innate soul power was only level 7, and her talent was not very high, but she was able to endure hardships. Under Zhu Zhuyun's suppression, she was still able to practice to the level of a great soul master in the past few years, which shows that her efforts were quite great.
"Brother Chen, I can finally practice these moves together."
An hour later, Zhu Zhuqing shouted with joy, with an excited look on her face. Her big, beautiful eyes stared at Ye Liangchen, showing a look of seeking praise.
"Well! Not bad, take a break first, come and eat some wild fruits."
Ye Liangchen also understood what the girl meant and praised her directly.
"Thank you, Brother Chen."
The kitten immediately ran over with joy, sat quietly beside Ye Liangchen, picked up a wild fruit and started to eat it.
"Zhuqing, we are good friends now, you are welcome."
Ye Liangchen smiled faintly, stretched out his hand and rubbed the kitten's silky hair, feeling like petting a cat.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't care and let Ye Liangchen rub her hair. Instead, she felt very happy.
Now her personality is much more cheerful than the previous two days, and she often smiles.
"Brother Chen, how great it would be if we could live a carefree life like this every day!"
During this period, Zhu Zhuqing followed Ye Liangchen around in the forest, living a carefree life every day. This kind of life made her enjoy it very much. She even had the idea of living in seclusion in the mountains, but the prerequisite was to be with the person she liked.
"Zhuqing, you think too much. You can't be too absolute about everything. Living in seclusion in the mountains for a long time will make you disconnected from the outside world."
"I came to this forest this time mainly to find some medicinal herbs. In a few days, I have to go to Notting City."
Ye Liangchen knew that Zhu Zhuqing had not lived well in the past few years. Now that she has temporarily escaped from the cage of the Xingluo Empire, she feels free, so she thinks this kind of life away from fighting is particularly beautiful.
"Brother Chen, as long as you don't mind, I will go with you wherever you go."
Zhu Zhuqing stared at Ye Liangchen with a determined look on her face. She decided to tell him some of her secrets and made an important decision in her heart.
"Brother Chen, there is something I want to tell you."
Seeing the determined look in the kitten's eyes, Ye Liangchen had already guessed what the other party was going to say.
"What do you want to tell me?" Ye Liangchen pretended to be curious.
"I have a fiancé named Dai Mubai, but nothing happened between me and him. We were just engaged since childhood."
"Our Zhu family and the Xingluo royal family Dai family have always been..."
Zhu Zhuqing babble to Ye Liangchen about her engagement with Dai Mubai, and also said that after Dai Mubai escaped, she was left alone to bear the suppression of her sister and Davis.
"I learned about the marriage between the Xingluo royal family and your Zhu family when I was 6 years old from Aunt Lan and the others."
"When you followed your relatives to the Xingdou Forest and were rescued by us, Aunt Lan and the others guessed that you were a young lady of the Zhu family, and were forced to participate in the power struggle of the royal heirs."
Ye Liangchen knew everything about the girl's engagement. He married the Zhu family only for the martial soul fusion technique to maintain the royal rule. The Zhu family also obtained power and prosperity through this marriage method. It was also the ancestors of the Xingluo royal family who set this cruel rule of the heir struggle. The cooperation between the two families was mutually beneficial.
"Ah! Brother Chen, you even guessed this?"
"The mess of the fight between the heirs of the royal family of your Xingluo Empire is known to all the powerful people of the big forces. My Aunt Lan, as the dean of Tianshui College, naturally knows it too."
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned when she learned that Ye Liangchen had already known these things, but after thinking about it, it was not a secret.
"You said your fiancé is called Dai Mubai? I have seen him in Soto City."
At this time, Ye Liangchen released the news about Dai Mubai, which surprised Zhu Zhuqing again.
"Ah! Brother Chen, have you seen him? How strong is he?" Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously.
"When I was 8 years old, I was shopping in Soto City with Aunt Lan and others. There were three drunk men at that time. One of them was a blond man. When he saw Aunt Lan and Teacher Su Lin, he came over to tease them. But I beat him down directly. Later, he woke up and introduced himself to me as Dai Mubai. At that time, he had just joined Shrek Academy and was only at the level of a great soul master."
"As for what level he is now, I don't know."
Ye Liangchen slowly told Zhu Zhuqing what happened back then. Thinking about it now, it feels quite interesting. However, Ye Liangchen did not say anything about Dai Mubai's frequent visits to red-light districts and dating twins. Anyway, there was no need.
"He fled to the Tiandou Empire a few years ago. Later, I heard that he joined Shrek Academy. I guess he couldn't stand Davis's suppression."
"From what you said, Brother Chen, I guess he has fallen."
"We have been engaged since we were young, and my fate has been arranged since I was born, ..."
"In fact, the heir of the Xingluo Empire has been decided long ago. Dai Mubai's second brother was eliminated by Davis, and my second sister was suppressed by Zhu Zhuyun and became an ordinary person. Now it's my turn with Dai Mubai. It's ridiculous to talk about fair competition. We are just the grinding stones of Davis and my eldest sister."
"If there is no miracle, my life will wither at the age of 25."
After Zhu Zhuqing told Ye Liangchen about her future fate, she showed a look of despair on her face, and her eyes were dull.
The next moment, she looked up at Ye Liangchen, who looked calm, and immediately saw hope again.
"Brother Chen, I want to break free from the shackles of this engagement. I want to control my own destiny. Please help me. I am willing to do anything you ask me to do in the future."
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly grabbed Ye Liangchen's hand and pleaded pitifully. In order to break free from the shackles of fate, she gave it all. Now the only one who can help her is the young man in front of her, and she must seize this only opportunity.
"Don't worry! Kitty, you call me brother now, I will definitely help you break free from the constraints of the royal marriage contract."
"Besides, when you join Tianshui College, you can ask my aunt Lan for help. With her super titled Douluo strength, the Xingluo royal family will kneel down and can help you cancel the royal engagement at any time."
Ye Liangchen rubbed Zhu Zhuqing's head and told her not to worry about anything. A mere royal engagement was nothing in front of a super titled Douluo.
"Thank you, Brother Chen."
Seeing that Ye Liangchen was willing to help her break the shackles of fate, Zhu Zhuqing was very moved and immediately threw herself into Ye Liangchen's arms and hugged him tightly.
My God! This girl has no martial ethics, sneak attacks, dribbles and hits people, and fouls.
Ye Liangchen felt that this little cat was too easy to capture. The two of them had only been together for five days, and she threw herself into his arms. If the time was longer, she might have promised to marry him.
"Zhuqing, don't get too excited. Anyway, there is still time. As long as you become stronger, any difficulties will be solved."
"It's almost noon. We should cook and eat."
Ye Liangchen patted the kitten's back and comforted her for a few words. Then he gently pushed her away. He couldn't stand being hugged by the other person all the time.
"Brother Chen! Thank you."
Zhu Zhuqing stared at Ye Liangchen straight, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes. At the same time, she made up her mind that she would follow this man. From now on, I, Zhu Zhuqing, will live for myself. Damn the royal marriage contract.
"Hey! Kitty, don't stare at me all the time. There's no flower on my face."
Ye Liangchen was a little embarrassed by the kitten's straight gaze. Although I am very handsome, you can't stare at me like a female gangster all the time!
"Puchi...! Brother Chen, let's go cook and eat."
Zhu Zhuqing showed a gentle smile, and with a pair of soft hands, she pulled Ye Liangchen and walked towards the camp.
Men and women work together, and the work is not tiring. The two worked together and soon prepared a hearty lunch.
"Brother Chen, you should eat more meat."
During the meal, Zhu Zhuqing kept putting meat into Ye Liangchen's bowl and persuaded him to eat more.
Hiss! Something is wrong with this little cat!
"Little cat! You should eat too, don't just focus on me!"
Ye Liangchen looked at the little cat's gentle appearance, thinking that this girl was beginning to fall.
Since the little cat has made up his mind to follow him, Ye Liangchen also intends to help her, so he took out a foundation-building pill from the game backpack to help her improve her qualifications.
"Little cat! This is another kind of pill I refined, called Xuansheng Pill, which can consolidate the foundation of the cultivator. It should be of some help to you."
Ye Liangchen lied that the foundation-building pill was the Xuansheng Pill and asked Zhu Zhuqing to take it, intending to let her break through level 30, and then go to the Soul Hunting Forest in the north of Notting City to obtain the third soul ring.
There is indeed a kind of elixir in the "Dan Dian" called Ye Xuan Sheng Dan, which has a similar effect to the foundation-building elixir, but Ye Liangchen has not yet found the medicinal materials and is unable to refine it.
"Thank you, Brother Chen."
Zhu Zhuqing now has 100% trust in Ye Liangchen. She picked up the fragrant golden elixir and put it into her mouth without hesitation.
"Hmm..."
The elixir melted in her mouth, and the pure energy instantly flowed into her limbs and bones, which was extremely comfortable, making Zhu Zhuqing moan.
"Kitten! I will teach you a new set of meditation and practice methods. Recite the formula with me."
Ye Liangchen decided to pass on the first chapter of Hun Yuan Jue to Kitten. Anyway, this girl is now considered one of his own.
"Brother Chen, what is the new meditation practice?"
"It's just a little bit more advanced than the general meditation practice, but don't talk nonsense, this is something that only our own people can practice."
"Brother Chen, don't worry! I swear on my martial spirit that I will never spread it around. If I break it, I will die a miserable death."
When Zhu Zhuqing heard Ye Liangchen say that only his own people can practice, she was very excited. Happiness came too quickly, and she was also glad for her decision, so she immediately swore a poisonous oath to Ye Liangchen.
"Don't worry about that for now, recite with me:
Sit cross-legged and calm your mind, relax and be natural,
close your lips and teeth lightly, breathe slowly,
... ...
Qi returns to Dantian, and the practice is complete and the method is clear."
Zhu Zhuqing followed the chanting, feeling like she was listening to a heavenly book. With her little head, she couldn't understand how there could be such a profound meditation practice.
"Brother Chen, it's so hard to understand!" Zhu Zhuqing said pitifully.
"You just need to memorize it, and then when you practice, let the soul power in your body run through these meridians, and the way to breathe."
Ye Liangchen tapped the kitten a few times with his hands, explaining to her what the small and large Zhoutian are.
Now Zhu Zhuqing has 100% trust in Ye Liangchen and is completely defenseless, but this strange contact makes her feel nervous and exciting. At this moment, her pretty face full of collagen is like a red apple, very tempting, making people want to take a bite.
"Kitten! Are you blushing like a bubble teapot? Pay attention and listen to my explanation carefully."
Ye Liangchen was speechless. He was explaining the meridians to the kitten seriously, but she blushed.
"I'm sorry, Brother Chen, I lost my composure."
Looking at Ye Liangchen's perfect face with a reproachful look, Zhu Zhuqing was like a child who had done something wrong, blushing, lowering her head and looking at her toes, but unfortunately something blocked her from seeing her toes.
Zhu Zhuqing, ah Zhu Zhuqing! How can you be so disappointing? Brother Chen is explaining the way of cultivation to you, but you are daydreaming.
After calming down, Zhu Zhuqing cleared the distracting thoughts in her mind, and listened attentively to Ye Liangchen. Looking at his erudite appearance, she gradually became a little fangirl.
"Don't be distracted anymore, start to mobilize the soul power running route according to the method I taught you."
"Okay, Brother Chen."
After spending two hours, Zhu Zhuqing memorized this soul power cultivation method, then sat cross-legged and began to cultivate soul power according to the method Ye Liangchen said.
Although Zhu Zhuqing's comprehension is not high, he is diligent and studious, and has a stubborn personality. This
character is similar to Guo Jing in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. However, the profound skills such as Hunyuan Jue are not so easy for soul masters in the Douluo World to comprehend. At the beginning, Lan Xiaodie and Su Lin also took a long time to fully comprehend it.
