Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Chapter 37 Becoming Zhang Lexuan's Godbrother
"Slurp—"

Ye Chen gently removed Zhang Lexuan's boots, revealing a pair of small feet encased in ultra-thin black stockings.

Hmm, it's warm, but thankfully it's not smoking.

The ultra-thin black stockings seemed to be made of a material Ye Chen had never seen before. They reflected a hazy luster under the light, and the lines of her feet were as smooth as if they were drawn with fine brushstrokes, with a faint pink tinge showing through her heels.

Ye Chen placed his palm on the heel, feeling a soft touch.

Years of practice have not made the soles of my feet firm and hard; on the contrary, they still have excellent elasticity.

Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then began to gently massage.

Although he wasn't very good at it, it was still easy for him to help relieve fatigue.

"Hmm, not bad strength~"

Zhang Lexuan's eyes crinkled into crescents, and her toes, encased in black stockings, suddenly lightly tapped Ye Chen's wrist in appreciation.

At the same time, his gaze toward Ye Chen was full of admiration and hope.

She used to like having Beibei massage her feet, but Beibei, being silly and naive, would deliberately say her feet smelled and then run away, showing no manners at all.

How could a Soul Master's feet possibly smell bad? At most, they might have a slight odor.

Ye Chen was so obedient; he did the foot massage without hesitation at all...

"Hmm... I wish this were my younger brother..." Zhang Lexuan muttered unconsciously.

Ye Chen, with his sharp ears and keen eyesight, naturally heard everything, but he pretended not to hear clearly. He looked up at Zhang Lexuan with feigned curiosity and asked, "Senior Sister, what did you say?"

"Hmm... I mean, I wish you were my younger brother~"

Zhang Lexuan and Ye Chen exchanged glances, smiled sweetly, and subconsciously reached out to pinch Ye Chen's cheek.

Hmm, it feels so good...

"It's not impossible, Senior Sister. If you're willing, I can be your godbrother~" Ye Chen knew that Zhang Lexuan was too shy to ask, so he took the initiative to suggest it.

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan's dark purple eyes lit up, and she couldn't suppress the joy on her face.

"Ok!"

Ye Chen nodded firmly and said, "I'm an only child, and I've always envied other kids who had older sisters to protect them. Senior Sister is so strong, who wouldn't want an older sister like that?"

Ye Chen chuckled.

"Hehehe~ From now on, I'll be your god-sister. With your sister protecting you, I definitely won't let anyone bully you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan was overjoyed. She bent down and hugged Ye Chen's head tightly, kneading it roughly.

"Mmm~ Sister is the best~" Ye Chen's muffled voice came from Zhang Lexuan's chest.

Who wouldn't like having such a wise and magnanimous older sister?

“Then it’s settled.” Zhang Lexuan blushed slightly and quickly let go of Ye Chen.

I was so excited that I forgot I was dressed rather lightly.

But it doesn't matter, since Ye Chen is now her adopted younger brother, she doesn't mind him taking advantage of her at all.

"Alright, alright, Xiao Chen, you should go back and rest for a bit. I'll have Xiao Tao call you when we're going to operate tonight."

Zhang Lexuan felt it was about time, so she gently waved her hand and said.

She called Ye Chen over this time, but the massage was just an excuse. She simply wanted to chat with Ye Chen and get to know him better.

What started as a simple introduction turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

However, she still had a mission tonight, and she felt a little embarrassed to leave Ye Chen here for too long, lest it arouse gossip between Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen...

"Okay, then I'll be going now~" Ye Chen nodded, stood up and obediently said goodbye before turning and leaving.

Gently close the door.

"So good..."

Zhang Lexuan listened to Ye Chen's departing footsteps, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly.

Ever since she met Ye Chen, she has subconsciously compared Ye Chen to Bei Bei.

With each comparison, she grew to admire Ye Chen more and more.

Because Beibei is no match for Ye Chen at all; she is completely outclassed by Ye Chen in every aspect.

Talent, looks, skill, age...

Well, Beibei does have an age advantage over Ye Chen, being three years older, which is a permanent advantage. Her feelings for Beibei stem not only from growing up together but also from being attracted to his excellence.

Talented boys are always popular.

In her heart, Beibei's talent was the strongest she had ever seen in a member of the opposite sex, after all, he was a descendant of Elder Mu...

With proper nurturing, the Thunder Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul could potentially even lead to becoming a Super Douluo or even a Limit Douluo!
Now, she has met a man of the opposite sex whose talent is many times greater than Beibei's, and she is naturally attracted to Ye Chen.

The adoration I once felt for Beibei has mostly faded, leaving only familial affection...

Ye Chen's position in her heart gradually began to squeeze out Bei Bei's position.

But she didn't feel repulsed; instead, she felt relaxed and even grateful to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's appearance began to loosen the knot in her heart that had been there for many years.

This caused her obsession with Beibei to begin to weaken.

That was a shackle that had troubled her for years.

Now, the shackles are slowly being removed, which makes her feel more relaxed than ever before.

……

……

Ye Chen left Zhang Lexuan's room without going to Ma Xiaotao or Ling Luochen's place.

Especially Ma Xiaotao, Ye Chen was afraid that if he went there, he wouldn't be able to resist...

He still had to fight that night, and he couldn't let something trivial affect Ma Xiaotao.

Even with Zhang Lexuan backing him up, Ye Chen wouldn't act recklessly.

……

Time passes quickly.

Late at night, Ye Chen heard the sound of Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen's door opening next door.

Ye Chen finished his cultivation, opened the door, and walked out.

"Xiao Chen, how was your rest? You should be alright, right?" Ma Xiaotao came over to Ye Chen as soon as she saw him and asked with concern.

She was the main force in this encirclement and suppression operation, and had no time to take care of Ye Chen.

Although Ye Chen was strong, he had no experience, which made her very worried.

"Don't worry, Sister Tao, I'm not a child anymore~" Ye Chen patted his chest and assured her.

He was actually looking forward to tonight's mission.

After all, he had always lived under the protection of his family and had never experienced combat.

Now that we have a system and great strength, we naturally won't be as lazy as before.

When conditions permit, one should naturally be more passionate.

Moreover, girls in this world are all very strong.

A strong person's bloody battles increase their attractiveness to women by at least a hundredfold.

Ye Chen needs to learn something.

It's pointless to fight your own people.

Fighting the enemy and then rescuing the damsel in distress later – this trope never goes out of style.

Especially in this world of romance, no girl can resist it.

"You're the youngest."

Ma Xiaotao gave Ye Chen a light eye roll.

Ye Chen's lips twitched.

If it weren't for maintaining his persona in front of Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochen, he would have said something quite flirtatious.

How dare Ma Xiaotao slander him like this? It's outrageous!
"Alright, alright, you guys hurry up and set off. Delay might cause problems. Although I'll be watching from behind, I won't intervene unless something happens that you can't handle."

Zhang Lexuan waved her hand and spoke calmly, regaining her senior sister's dignity.
