Chapter 210 Flanders' Schadenfreude
The wound has been treated.
Liu Erlong's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a little.
Her pale face regained some color, and her weak breathing gradually became stronger, eventually calming down and becoming peaceful.
The injuries she sustained were actually not too serious.
However, due to excessive blood loss, the depletion of her soul power and physical strength, and the erosion of her mind by an intense bloodlust, her injuries were compounded.
This led to his life being in danger.
Thanks to Ye Qifeng's careful treatment, and through physical contact, the mysterious aura emanating from Ye Qifeng was transmitted into Liu Erlong's body, suppressing and eliminating her bloodlust, and preventing her mind from being corrupted.
At this point, Liu Erlong had already passed the most dangerous moment.
However, it will probably take some time before he regains consciousness.
Moreover, for a long time to come, Liu Erlong's body will likely be unable to move.
And this can only be handled by Ye Qifeng.
Looking at Liu Erlong's body, which was almost wrapped up like a certain festive delicacy from the Blue Star era, except for her large, round and perky breasts, almost all of her skin was covered by gauze.
With a slight sigh, Ye Qifeng's nose started to itch again, and he quickly turned his head away.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a discarded, blood-stained, and torn undergarment, seemingly unwearable.
But he doesn't have any of those clothes.
As for the undergarments, she'll have to wait until Liu Erlong wakes up and figure out a solution herself.
Now, well...
After thinking for a moment, Ye Qifeng took out a white outfit that he didn't usually wear and carefully helped Liu Erlong put it on.
Liu Erlong was tall, about 1.78 meters, more than half a head taller than Ye Qifeng.
So the clothes were a little short.
Fortunately, the clothes prepared by Ye Qifeng were specially made with good stretch and elasticity, which perfectly covered all of Liu Erlong's skin.
After dressing Liu Erlong, Ye Qifeng picked her up, removed the blood-stained blanket, replaced it with a clean one, and placed her on it again. Only then did Ye Qifeng have time to properly admire her appearance.
The sleeping Liu Erlong was extremely beautiful, like Sleeping Beauty.
At first glance, her eyebrows were delicate, her eyelashes were curled, her nose was straight and elegant, and her lips were cherry-red. Overall, her features were exquisite and captivating, her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, and her face was stunning.
Except for the lack of rosy color and the pale complexion, everything else was perfect.
Her black hair, which was originally stained with blood, had just been cleaned by Ye Qifeng, who also used his soul power to evaporate the moisture. Now, it cascaded down the soft cotton blanket like a waterfall, making her look even more charming.
Coupled with her perfect, hot figure, she is incredibly sexy, alluring, and eye-catching.
Looking away from his clothes and glancing at the dried bloodstains, Ye Qifeng shook his head helplessly and muttered a few words to himself:
"Let's clean off the bloodstains first."
"Speaking of which, the place Elder Ghost found to stay is really quite good. There's even a clean water source near the cave, so I can take a good bath and change into some clean clothes."
Once he made up his mind, Ye Qifeng immediately prepared to get up, but was suddenly grabbed by Liu Erlong.
Feeling the soft, cold touch in his hand, Ye Qifeng didn't pull away, but looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Her face was slightly furrowed, and tears were sliding down her cheeks. She seemed to be dreaming of something bad, and she was also muttering something softly in her sleep.
Ye Qifeng leaned closer and finally heard her fragmented words:
"Mother, Mother, don't go. Don't leave Erlong. Erlong will seek justice for you."
"So you're treating me like a mother again? Hmm, that's not impossible. I just served you so well, it's not that different from being a mother. But I'm a man, maybe you can treat me like a father. Never mind. As long as you don't treat me like some useless master."
Although he was inwardly complaining, Ye Qifeng's gaze softened as he looked at Liu Erlong. He took her slender hand in his own and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
A warm and mysterious aura flowed through her jade-like hands into Liu Erlong's body, filling her heart with peace and tranquility. Her wrinkled face quickly regained its soft lines, and she gradually returned to calm.
Ye Qifeng lingered for another fifteen minutes to make sure she wouldn't have any more nightmares before letting go, taking out a quilt, and covering her with it.
Sunset Forest is located in the northern region of Douluo Continent, where the nights are extremely cool, even frigid.
There's nothing wrong with it during normal times.
Liu Erlong is at the Soul Saint realm and is not afraid of the cold.
But at this moment, she had no soul power at all, her injuries were even more serious, and her body was extremely weak, unable to withstand the invasion of cold.
Fortunately, his teacher, Bibi Dong, had prepared plenty of things for him.
Many things come in handy at this moment.
Ye Qifeng stood up.
First, they retrieved the instruments that had been used to treat Liu Erlong's wounds.
Then, add enough smokeless firewood to the campfire to ensure that the cave is kept warm enough and not too cold.
They then left the cave.
He went to a nearby clean water source, washed himself, changed into a clean set of black clothes, and also washed his blood-stained clothes.
…………
The next morning.
The warm yellow sun rose from the distant east, gradually climbing higher and shining in all directions.
Tian Dou Imperial Capital, Tian Dou City, outside the East Gate.
A robust, middle-aged man, who looked to be around forty, was queuing up with the crowd, preparing to enter Tiandou City.
The middle-aged man's face was very distinctive, with wide cheekbones, a flat face, a slightly hooked nose, and a protruding chin. His whole face looked like a shoehorn.
In addition, his full beard, though neatly trimmed, was hardly attractive.
He had a full head of short black hair, with a patch of white hair on his forehead and temples, extending backwards. Above his left eye, a strand of gray and white hair hung down to his eye, giving him a somewhat owl-like appearance.
The middle-aged man was dressed in a brown robe and gray-black trousers, with black leather gloves and a gold ring on the index finger of his left hand. He wore a pair of rigid square black-rimmed crystal glasses, and the corners of his mouth were curled up in a faint smile. No matter how you looked at him, he gave off a strange and cunning feeling.
This person is none other than the founder and first dean of Shrek Academy, the eldest brother of the Golden Iron Triangle, the Flying Horn, possessing the advanced martial soul Cat-Owl, nicknamed "Four-Eyed Cat-Owl"—
Flanders.
Flanders has been having some worries lately.
Because the Shrek Academy he founded was in dire financial straits.
Flanders, who came from a commoner background, didn't care much for nobles and wouldn't fawn over them unless necessary.
Therefore, Shrek Academy's funding typically comes from only two sources—
Paid martial spirit awakening and business operations involving opening shops and reselling goods.
The first type is paid martial spirit awakening.
Every year during the period of martial soul awakening, Flander would often travel to various villages, using the name of a Soul Saint to help children who had turned six awaken their martial souls.
Unlike the Spirit Hall, which offers free Spirit Awakening, Flander charges a fee.
A fee of one Silver Soul Coin per person is charged for Soul Awakening.
For ordinary people, although a Silver Soul Coin is not cheap, it is still affordable, so many people flock to it.
After all, the reputation of a Soul Saint is still very popular among ordinary people.
For ordinary parents, it's almost unimaginable that a high-ranking Soul Saint would personally help their child awaken their Martial Soul.
If one's own child awakens a martial soul talent that is good, and is noticed by the Soul Saint or taken as a disciple, then it is an instant transformation from sparrow to phoenix, enough to bring glory to the family.
Flander himself was happy to provide paid martial soul awakening services for ordinary children.
Because no matter how you look at it, he's not at a loss.
This move not only makes money, but also provides an opportunity to discover promising talents.
If a genius were to awaken, he could strike first and seduce the genius into his own hands.
In that case, we'll make a fortune.
For example, four years ago, under his guidance, a genius named Oscar, who possessed innate full soul power and a top-tier food-type martial soul, sausage, awakened.
Fortunately, Oscar was an orphan.
So he tricked me into adopting her.
A year ago, Ma Hongjun, who had awakened the mutated martial soul Evil Fire Phoenix, was also taken in by him in the same way and became his disciple.
but.
Unfortunately, the day for awakening one's martial spirit this year has already passed.
To obtain funds, one must start with the second method: opening a shop and reselling goods.
Flander has a shop in Soto City that sells all items related to Soul Masters, but what he's lacking now is stock.
His purpose in coming to Tiandou City was to purchase some goods specifically for Soul Masters to resell.
While others try their best to bring goods from other places to sell in Tiandou City, he does the opposite.
Because his Shrek Academy is located outside Soto City, which is in the south of the Heaven Dou Empire, goods related to Soul Masters are relatively scarce and expensive.
Many Soul Master items that are not considered valuable in the Heaven Dou Imperial Capital, Heaven Dou City, can be picked up by Flander at low prices. He can then bring them back to Soto City and sell them at high prices, making a huge profit from the difference.
His Shrek Academy has managed to survive thanks to these two sources of funding.
Standing in the crowd.
They waited with the pedestrians for the switch to open.
Flanders kept calculating in his mind.
He was thinking about how, once they entered the city, he could use his silver tongue to buy goods at the lowest price, then return to Soto City and use his cunning to sell them at the highest price, ultimately making a hefty profit off him.
At that moment, Flander overheard several Soul Masters whispering among the queuing crowd.
"Hey, have you heard? Something seems to have happened in Sunset Forest lately?"
One of the Soul Masters asked in a low voice.
"I think I know about this. I heard that someone went crazy yesterday and went on a killing spree in Sunset Forest, slaughtering soul beasts indiscriminately. An entire area of soul beasts was wiped out."
Another Soul Master responded.
"That's right, I've heard about it too. The person who went mad is said to be a Soul Saint."
Another Soul Master affirmed, then brought up another matter:
"I heard that several ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts from the depths of Sunset Forest have also ventured into the outer area, causing several small beast tides. I wonder if this is related to this matter?"
The first Soul Master to ask the question was shocked upon hearing this, and then offered his own guess:
I think there must be a connection.
"Think about it, Sunset Forest is, after all, the territory of soul beasts. Slaughtering soul beasts there will inevitably attract the attention of those high-level soul beasts deep in the forest. Those few ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts may have come for this reason."
"Otherwise, why would they be running off to the outer areas when they were perfectly fine deep within Sunset Forest?"
"Your guess is correct."
The second Soul Master who spoke earlier suddenly chuckled and said, "Let me tell you, when we came out of Sunset Forest, I heard some Soul Masters who were nearby say that they saw from afar that the person who slaughtered the Soul Beasts was actually a very beautiful female Soul Saint with an exceptionally hot figure."
"However, a 40,000-year-old scaled behemoth later set its sights on her, and the two began to fight fiercely at the junction of the outer and central areas of the forest."
"A 40,000-year-old scaled behemoth?"
Upon hearing this, the other two Soul Masters immediately exclaimed in unison.
They had heard of the Scaled Beast; it was a high-level soul beast from the depths of Sunset Forest, an existence with extremely abnormal attack and defense capabilities.
Moreover, it is at the 40,000-year level, which is almost impossible for an ordinary Soul Saint to match.
"good."
The second Soul Master to speak nodded. He deliberately cleared his throat, whetting the appetites of the other two, before continuing:
"At first, a few passing Soul Masters tried to get closer to investigate, but they were injured by the aftershocks of the battle, and after that, no one dared to approach again."
"No one knows the exact outcome of the battle. But I suspect that the female Soul Saint is probably in grave danger."
"After all, when she slaughtered the soul beasts, the female soul saint had already expended most of her soul power. If she were to face a 40,000-year-old scaled behemoth, she would be no match for it no matter what."
"Alas, it's a pity that such a stunning beauty has been wasted."
The other two Soul Masters also sighed in dismay after hearing this.
It's unclear whether people lamented the death of the female Soul Saint at the hands of a soul beast, or regretted not being able to witness her stunning beauty and voluptuous figure.
Flander possesses the advanced martial soul Cat-Owl, giving him exceptional eyesight and hearing. Even though the voices of several soul masters were soft, he could hear them with remarkable clarity.
Turning to look at the group of Soul Masters, he saw that they were covered in dust and grime, clearly having just returned from Sunset Forest.
He judged that what the men said was probably true.
"Hehehe, I wonder which unlucky bastard dared to slaughter soul beasts in Sunset Forest. They're really courting death. Being targeted by a 40,000-year-old scaled behemoth, are they even afraid of dying?"
Flanders grinned, a smug chuckle on his lips.
He also thought about that female soul saint.
Dead.
"Should we go join the fun? Maybe we can find some good treasure?"
Beneath Flander's square glasses, his eagle eyes involuntarily revealed a hint of greed, his gaze fixed on the color of the gold soul coins.
"Never mind, I still have things to do. I'll go get some goods first; Shrek Academy is waiting for my funds."
After a moment, he shook his head, his money-grubbing eyes immediately disappearing.
But the gloating on his face didn't diminish at all; his lips still curled into that cunning smile.
However.
The next second, he suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.
Thank you [Whisper] for the 4917 book coins! Thank you [Wind and Cloud Shadow] for the 100 Qidian coins!
