Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

"Alright, let's eat!" Ye Qing chuckled and lifted the lid of the radish and deer bone soup pot. The milky white broth immediately made everyone's mouths water.

The addition of barbecued deer, roe deer, and roe deer immediately sparked a food-fighting frenzy among the crowd, while Ye Qing and Zhang Lexuan sat together, leisurely enjoying the meal.

"Here, try this, it tastes pretty good." Ye Qing picked up a slice of venison and held it to Zhang Lexuan's lips.

Zhang Lexuan smiled gently, opened her mouth and ate the food Ye Qing fed her, then picked up a piece of meat and began feeding each other.

The others, who were scrambling for food like starving ghosts, suddenly lost interest in their food after seeing this scene. On the contrary, Xuanzi, that old bastard, took advantage of the distraction and with a wave of his sleeve, a small portion of the food on the table disappeared.

"I only want these; you can divide the rest among yourselves!" Elder Xuan said, making a hasty retreat.

'if only'?

The others glanced at the ravaged lunch and immediately put on masks of pain.

Fortunately, Ye Qing had the foresight to have Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo hunt more game; otherwise, those two deer probably wouldn't have been enough for Xuanzi to eat alone.

Huo Yuhao was also eating his barbecue in silence, frowning as he pondered, trying to figure out what seasoning Ye Qing had added to it.

'Fat oil, chili, cumin... No, wait, why can't I taste the ingredients in these seasonings?' Huo Yuhao also put on the mask of pain.

The others, however, thoroughly enjoyed their meal.

Before awakening his martial soul, Ye Qing's cooking skills were somewhat lacking. Back then, he couldn't even grill fish properly, and what he made was half-cooked and half-burnt.

But times have changed. People in China have all put in some effort when it comes to cooking, and Ye Qing is no exception. When he put some thought into it, the talent points he allocated to cooking skills naturally came into play.

Moreover, often, the main flavor of food comes from the seasonings. With the right seasonings, even a shoe sole will taste delicious when grilled. His mastery of fire attributes also grants him perfect control over heat, ensuring the meat isn't too dry.

Even Xuanzi, a gourmand, praised the meal highly.

After lunch, everyone rested for a while to digest their food before setting off again.

Of course, it was they who set off. Xuanzi found a rope and tied them together, playing a little flying game, while Ye Qing, with his eight wings of holy light, watched them scream with a smile.

Laugh to death.

"You can actually keep up with my speed?" Xuanzi glanced at Ye Qing beside him, flapping his wings without showing any signs of strain, and looked quite surprised.

Keep in mind that he is a level 98 Super Douluo. Even if he is not a speed-oriented agility-type, his flight speed is already quite exaggerated, not to mention that he is equipped with a level 7 flight soul tool.

How could Ye Qing keep up with that?

Xuanzi expressed shock.

"Just some tricks, nothing to mention." Ye Qing smiled slightly.

This is nothing. If I were to stomp and kick with all my might, going full speed without any fear, you, Old Deng, probably wouldn't even be able to smell my exhaust fumes.

Xuanzi didn't speak, but after giving Ye Qing a deep look, he quickened his pace slightly. Ye Qing continued to follow him at a leisurely pace, his eight wings of holy light flapping occasionally, leaving a dazzling golden trail behind him.

"Elder Xuan, slow down, Huo Yuhao and the others can't hold on much longer." Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but remind him as she saw Xuanzi and Ye Qing secretly competing and speeding up.

They were fine, even Bei Bei and the others from the Soul Sect had stabilized, but Huo Yuhao and the other two, who were Great Soul Masters, were already spitting out rainbows in the air, and they were strung together.

And so this phenomenon occurred...

Xiao Xiao: Yue~...

Wang Dong, covered in vomit: Ugh!!!

Huo Yuhao, whose face was covered in rainbows from Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong, was vomiting rainbows while questioning his existence.

"..." Xuanzi glanced at the miserable state of the three of them, an awkward expression appearing on his old face, and slowly reduced his speed.

All the lunch they ate was for nothing, especially Xiao Xiao. With her foodie tendencies, she was almost stuffed full by Ye Qing, and the rainbow she vomited was particularly plentiful, accurately covering herself, Wang Dong, and Huo Yuhao.

This is a chapter with a certain flavor...

However, it was not advisable to stop suddenly while traveling, so Xuanzi could only ask the three of them to persevere a little longer. The only good news was that, due to the high speed of flight, the wind blowing in front of them was also very strong.

Xiao Xiao couldn't smell the strange odor at all, Wang Dong behind her could smell a faint odor, but Huo Yuhao...

He endured the stench of food residue mixed with stomach acid, his head spinning as he continued to vomit rainbows.

……

As the sun set and darkness fell, Xuanzi slowed down and descended from the sky. In the distance was the Northwest Army Group of the Star Luo Empire, which guarded the Mingdou Mountains, indicating that they had arrived at the border of the Star Luo Empire.

The moment he landed, Xuanzi vanished before anyone else could even get their feet on the ground.

Clearly, Old Deng intended to avoid the resentful gazes of Huo Yuhao and the other two, which was consistent with his usual style of doing things.

Without a word, Wang Dong went berserk and jumped into the river beside him. Xiao Xiao silently walked upstream to find a place to clean herself. It was only thanks to Xuan Zi having some conscience that he found a river when they landed that the two girls probably died on the spot.

"Please wait for us a moment, everyone... Yue! I'm so sorry." Huo Yuhao greeted everyone before pinching his nose and jumping into the river.

"Pfft... Hahahahahaha!" Ye Qing tried to hold back, but couldn't, and laughed so hard that his mouth stretched all the way to his ears.

The others had been holding back, but Ye Qing's smile made them lose all composure and burst into laughter.

Hearing Ye Qing and the others laughing loudly, Wang Dong, whose head was submerged in the water, gritted his teeth angrily, his pinkish-blue eyes filled with resentment.

"Damn old man, how dare you embarrass this princess like this!"

Chapter 183 You reap what you sow! Lao Xuan begins his performance.

After the Rainbow Trio finished taking care of their personal hygiene, the group set off again, heading towards the Northwest Army Group's camp.

"We're passing through the Mingdou Mountains this time. Besides resting here for one night, we also need to deal with the Death Hand bandit group active in the area. I've already told you about the mission details. We'll set off tomorrow," Zhang Lexuan said, turning back to the group as they walked along the forest path.

"Everyone has the right to kill evil spirit masters. As members of the Shrek Academy Inspection Team, we have a duty to eliminate them and protect ordinary people from the threat of evil spirit masters."

To be fair, when Zhang Lexuan said those words, she did exude a sense of righteousness and a sense of greatness for the country and its people. Coupled with the determined looks in the eyes of the others, Ye Qing was almost ignited with passion.

The reserve team members were the same, all displaying a strong drive to make their mark.

"Let's rest for the night at the Northwest Army Group's camp in the Star Luo Empire and gather some intelligence. Tomorrow we'll go and take down the Death Hand Bandit Gang!"

As the group made their way toward the military camp, their movements were naturally discovered by the army's scouts, and the leader of the group was none other than the famous Durex!

Ye Qing quickly stepped forward and shook hands with him with a solemn expression: "Hello, Mr. Du, I've heard so much about you. My name is Okamoto!"

Durex: "..."

After some back and forth, Durex led his group into the military camp, where they met the very difficult-to-judge Duke of the White Tiger, Dai Hao.

When Ye Qing met Dai Hao, he paid close attention to the facial expressions of the two men.

The first one is naturally Huo Yuhao.

Upon seeing his beloved father, Huo Yuhao's face instantly turned ashen, his lowered eyes filled with hatred. However, because he was hiding behind Wang Dong, only Ye Qing, who was observing from the side, noticed his expression.

In the original story, Wang Dong would interrupt him at this point to help him relax, because that suffocatingly powerful strike was really hard to hold back.

However, due to the previous incident of spitting out rainbows, Wang Dong was still not recovered and his face was even more sour than Huo Yuhao's, so he naturally didn't have the time to pay attention to Huo Yuhao's emotions.

Secondly...

Ye Qing glanced at her own roast chicken, but found that her expression hadn't changed at all. She didn't even linger on Dai Hao for a fraction of a second before reverting to her world-weary look.

Noticing Ye Qing's gaze, Ma Xiaotao turned her head, subtly winked at him, then stuck out her pink tongue and licked her red lips, a strange smile on her face that was hard to decipher.

Ah this...

Ye Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, his lips moved as he used his soul power to utter a sentence that reached Ma Xiaotao's ears.

"You little vixen, I'll deal with you when I have time."

Ma Xiaotao's body stiffened slightly, her long, slender legs wrapped in black stockings unconsciously squeezed together, and when she suddenly turned her head, her cute earlobes were tinged with a blush.

Of course, no one noticed their secret actions. After a brief conversation, Dai Hao welcomed them and then sent someone to give Zhang Lexuan all the information they had gathered about the Death Hand bandit gang.

It's strange. The army was stationed in the Mingdou Mountains. They could have easily dealt with the Death Hand bandit group by sending an elite squad of a Soul Master Legion. But they waited for the Shrek Supervision Group to arrive before giving them information, and they didn't even take action themselves.

Border troops should not be easily mobilized.

Are they afraid of arousing the sensitive nerves of the Sun Moon Empire's border troops?

Don't be ridiculous. If you send a small team to wipe out the evil soul masters, the Sun Moon Empire will at most check the information to make sure your team isn't trying to invade the border, and then they'll just ignore you.

How could we possibly start a war over something like this?

Ye Qing never understood this matter.

He gave up, and he wouldn't ask about it. Who knows if this was a tacit agreement between the Star Luo Empire and Shrek Academy?

Shi: "What? You actually killed the evil spirit masters we were supposed to kill, preventing us from grinding reputation and earning merit to offer faith to the Sea God?"

"You have a way to die!"

……

After a night of rest, early the next morning, the seven members of the regular team, the seven members of the reserve team, plus Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo, a total of sixteen people, gathered together to study the intelligence on the Death Hand bandit group that the Northwest Army Group had collected.

"According to intelligence, the leader of the Death Hand Bandit Gang is a Soul King-level evil Soul Master who calls himself the Messenger of Death. Relying on the fact that the bandit gang is located on the border, the armies of the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire dare not easily send troops, so they have been massacring people in the surrounding towns and villages." Zhang Lexuan spread out the map and pointed to a location marked with a red mark in a serious tone.

The marked area covered three or four mountains, and the Northwest Army Group could only detect their approximate location, not their exact position.

And this place is exactly on the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire, without any deviation.

"Please remember this during this operation: all the bandits in the Death Hand Bandit Gang deserved to die. Show no mercy in the battle," Zhang Lexuan said in a deep voice. "Evil Soul Masters can no longer be called human. If you can kill them, it's best to kill them with one blow!"

Others could only hear the seriousness and murderous intent in Zhang Lexuan's tone, but as her boyfriend, Ye Qing could hear a deep-seated resentment hidden in her voice.

This resentment was naturally not directed at the Death Hand bandits; those small fry were no match for Zhang Lexuan, who was about to break through to the Soul Douluo level.
