It wasn't easy to find a Four-Thousand to Five-Thousand-Year Dragon's Tooth Flower, and Ye Liangchen and his group searched in the Sunset Forest for a whole day without finding one.
That evening, the group set up tents by a river, preparing to spend the night in the forest. With Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo bodyguard, they didn't have to worry about safety.
Ye Liangchen also caught five pheasants, plucked and gutted them, then cleaned them. After seasoning, he wrapped them in lotus leaves, then covered them in mud, preparing to make Beggar's Chicken.
"Xiao Chen Didi, what are you doing?"
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling helped out, but the fact that he coated the chickens in mud puzzled them greatly.
"This is Beggar's Chicken. I'll let you try it later. It's incredibly delicious, I guarantee you'll have a feast."
Beggar's Chicken, that food was incredibly delicious; Ye Liangchen loved it in his previous life.
"Ye Xiaozi, Beggar's Chicken? Is it something beggars eat? Aren't you treating us like beggars?"
Dugu Bo found the name Beggar's Chicken very strange when he heard it.
"Senior, I think Xiao Chen's craftsmanship seems quite good!" Ye Suling was actually looking forward to what kind of delicious food this Xiao Jiahuo could make.
"Just watch, you can eat in half an hour."
Ye Liangchen directly threw the Beggar's Chickens into the bonfire, then covered them with glowing charcoal.
"Isn't this just roasted chicken? Why call it Beggar's Chicken?" Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling asked curiously.
"Cough! I just made up the name Beggar's Chicken."
Ye Liangchen couldn't be bothered to explain the legend of Hong Qigong and Beggar's Chicken to everyone, so he just found a random excuse to brush it off.
"Ready to eat."
More than an hour later, Ye Liangchen used a wooden stick to dig the Beggar's Chickens out of the fire pit.
"It's ready to eat?"
The others were also looking forward to seeing what kind of deliciousness awaited them.
"Crack, crack..."
Ye Liangchen knocked off the mud, then tore open the lotus leaves. Immediately, a burst of meaty aroma assailed their nostrils, making their mouths water.
"This Xiao Jiahuo is really capable. It smells good."
Dugu Bo and the others exchanged glances. They hadn't expected that a pheasant, prepared by this Xiao Jiahuo in such a strange way, could turn out so delicious.
"Xiao Chen Didi, you should just become a chef."
Dugu Yan directly tore off a chicken leg and took a bite.
"Wow! This taste is amazing, Lingling, quickly try it." Dugu Yan immediately urged Ye Lingling to eat.
"Two older sisters, eat more if it's good."
After Ye Liangchen finished preparing the pheasants, he handed them to Dugu Bo and Ye Suling respectively.
"Two seniors, please try it."
Dugu Bo and Ye Suling took the chicken, took a bite, and their eyes immediately lit up.
"You Xiaozi are really something."
"Xiao Chen, if you opened a restaurant, you could definitely make money."
Normally, when they were out and about, they would at most gnaw on some dry rations, and rarely ate small animals from the forest. Experiencing it today, they found it quite interesting.
"Ye Xiaozi, make more of this later. This delicacy is quite tasty. I'll help you catch pheasants."
One meal of Beggar's Chicken left everyone wanting more, so Dugu Bo suggested to Ye Liangchen that he make Beggar's Chicken a few more times.
"No problem, as long as we're in the forest, we can eat it anytime."
Ye Liangchen said with a chuckle. Picnics were inherently fun, and he was happy to do these things.
The next morning, the group set off again, searching for the Dragon Demon Patterned Tooth Flower Spirit Beast. With Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, present, some Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts that encountered them were scared away by the powerful aura emanating from the old man.
"Howl... Bang bang..."
"Ha..."
Suddenly, sounds of fighting came from a thousand meters ahead, mixed with the delicate shouts of a woman.
"It seems someone is hunting a Spirit Beast ahead."
"Oh! Listening to this sound, it seems to be Dean Liu of Blue Tyrant Academy."
Ye Suling was very familiar with Liu Erlong of Blue Tyrant Academy. Both were female Spirit Masters and sometimes gathered together.
"It seems there are also five people, three of whom are young."
Ye Liangchen activated his spiritual sense and quickly detected the situation a thousand meters away.
"That girl is fighting a powerful Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Beast. Listening to the sound, it seems to be a Ghost Tiger, at least over Thirty-Thousand Years old."
"Presumably, those three young people should be her students."
Dugu Bo had lived in the Sunset Forest for a long time and had once encountered a Ghost Tiger over Thirty-Thousand Years old.
"A Ghost Tiger over Thirty-Thousand Years? Then Erlong is in danger alone." Ye Suling, as a Spirit Douluo, also knew the power of a Thirty-Thousand-Year Ghost Tiger.
"Let's go take a look!" Dugu Bo called to everyone, and they rushed forward.
"Aunt Erlong brought her students to the Sunset Forest, definitely to help them acquire spirit rings."
Ye Lingling also knew Liu Erlong. The other party was very familiar with her mother. That woman was also an unfortunate person; she heard that she was abandoned by her lover 20 years ago, went mad for a period, and then opened a Blue Tyrant Spirit Master Academy in Heaven Dou City, specializing in recruiting commoner students.
Ye Liangchen hadn't expected that after returning to the Sunset Forest, he would actually encounter Liu Erlong, that naive and sweet woman. Speaking of which, that woman was beautiful, had a hot figure, and an even hotter temper. She single-handedly managed a Blue Tyrant Academy, so she could be considered a strong woman.
However, she also had the secret support of her father, Yu Luomian; otherwise, with her 76th-level Spirit Saint cultivation, it would be impossible for her to establish a Spirit Master Academy of such a scale in the prosperous Heaven Dou City.
That year, Yu Luomian of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had a one-night stand with a woman named Liu, and then Liu Erlong was born. Because Liu Erlong's mother was a commoner of low status, the arrogant Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would never allow her to enter the Sect. Afterwards, Liu Erlong's mother died of depression, and Liu Erlong also intensely disliked her father, choosing to take her mother's surname, Liu.
Liu Erlong was quite capable, managing the Blue Tyrant Academy alone. In fact, in the Douluo World, there were quite a few strong women, such as Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, the higher-ups of Tianshui Academy, Liu Erlong, and others.
Before long, Ye Liangchen and his group arrived within a hundred meters of Liu Erlong's group.
"Howl..."
"Ha..."
"Roar..."
At this moment, Liu Erlong was locked in a fierce battle with the Thirty-Thousand-Year Ghost Tiger, with several scratches on her body.
In the distance, the two teachers and three students were incredibly nervous. They had also summoned their Spirits. Among them, the two teachers were Spirit King cultivators, and the three students were Spirit Elder cultivators, but facing a Thirty-Thousand-Year Ghost Tiger, they dared not approach.
"Senior, please help Erlong." Ye Suling was very worried about her good sister's safety.
"No problem."
"Spirit Transformation."
"Roar..."
The azure Jiaolong Martial Soul appeared, and Dugu Bo stood on the Jiaolong's head, gliding forward.
Dugu Bo's appearance attracted the attention of the teachers and students of Blue Tyrant Academy.
"Senior, we are from Blue Tyrant Academy. Please help our Dean."
The few people were startled when they saw Dugu Bo's nine large spirit rings, and immediately asked him for help.
"You two take the three students and stay far away, otherwise you will get hurt."
Dugu Bo ordered the two teachers to take the students away. Now that his poison was cured, his temper had also improved.
"Thank you, Senior."
The two teachers immediately led the three students away from the battlefield, and at this moment, Ye Liangchen and his group also arrived at the scene.
"Master Ye, so it's you!"
The two teachers had previously taken severely injured students to Ye's Medical Clinic for treatment, so they naturally recognized Ye Suling, and their Dean was also friends with Master Ye.
"Erlong, you only brought two Spirit King level teachers this time, it's too risky. If you encounter a Spirit Beast over Ten-Thousand Years, you won't be able to help."
Ye Suling felt that Liu Erlong was too careless. Her temper was also very hot, and she was always reckless in everything she did.
"Master Ye is right, we were careless."
At this moment, the two teachers thought to themselves, we also wanted to bring powerful teachers! But there aren't any. Besides the Dean, who is a 76th-level Spirit Saint, most of the other teachers in the academy are around level 40 or 50, although there is one Spirit Emperor level teacher staying at the academy.
Ye Liangchen quietly listened to their conversation, thinking that the current Blue Tyrant Academy recruited a large number of commoner students and didn't have many powerful teachers. Before Flender and his group joined Blue Tyrant Academy, the teaching staff was severely insufficient.
The three students from Blue Tyrant Academy this time were two boys and one girl. One was strong, one was relatively thin, and the girl had short purplish-red hair and was quite beautiful and cute.
Looking at the three of them, Ye Liangchen thought that they might be the three substitute members of the original Shrek Seven Devils: Huang Yuan, Jing Ling, and Jiang Zhu.
The three looked over at Ye Liangchen's side. Dugu Yan and Ye Liangchen were both strangers, and they were always curious about strangers, especially the powerful spirit power aura emanating from Ye Liangchen, which made them very curious: Who was this guy? So powerful, and so handsome.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Howl..."
"Crimson Dragon True Body."
At this moment, an explosion came from the distant battlefield. A giant Ghost Tiger was sent flying dozens of meters into the air, followed by a hot-figured dragon woman who directly rushed into the sky and pounded the Ghost Tiger fiercely.
"Roar roar roar..."
The Ghost Tiger was slammed to the ground. The woman then grabbed the Ghost Tiger's tail and swung it to smash it on the ground. The scene was incredibly explosive, and the Ghost Tiger was dealt with in a few minutes.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Before long, Dugu Bo and a stunningly beautiful woman with a hot figure appeared before everyone.
"Erlong..."
"Suling..."
"How did you get so disheveled?"
"Just a small injury, it's nothing. I have to thank Senior Dugu for his help!"
When Liu Erlong and Ye Suling met, they naturally exchanged a few pleasantries. Seeing Liu Erlong's injuries, Ye Suling quickly summoned her Spirit to heal her.
"Thank you, Suling."
After Liu Erlong's injuries recovered, she was in a great mood. Although this trip to the Sunset Forest encountered danger, she successfully helped the three students acquire their third spirit rings.
"Aunt Erlong."
"Lingling..."
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan ran over and started chatting with the other party. When women meet, they always have endless topics to talk about.
"Senior Dugu, did the Thirty-Thousand-Year Ghost Tiger produce a Spirit Bone?" Ye Liangchen walked to the old man's side and asked curiously.
"This old man carefully investigated and found no Spirit Bone."
"What a pity. A Thirty-Thousand-Year Ghost Tiger, if it produced a Spirit Bone, the quality would be quite high."
"Ye Xiaozi, Spirit Bones are not that easy to encounter. It depends on luck."
"Actually, Senior should have tormented that Ghost Tiger more before, to make it generate stronger resentment, and then kill it. Maybe then it would have produced a Spirit Bone."
"Haha! You Xiaozi even know this? You should know that many powerful Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Beasts are extremely dangerous. If an ordinary person encounters one, their first thought is to kill it, otherwise, they might become the Spirit Beast's meal. Moreover, even if a Spirit Beast generates powerful resentment, it doesn't necessarily drop a Spirit Bone; it depends on luck."
Ye Liangchen's conversation with Dugu Bo attracted the attention of others, especially Liu Erlong. She stepped forward with her long legs, using a mysterious gait, and walked towards Ye Liangchen. Her curvaceous and hot figure swayed as she walked, looking very sexy.
"Xiao Jiahuo, I feel like you look very much like someone."
Arriving in front of Ye Liangchen, Liu Erlong stared at the Xiao Jiahuo's face, looking closely, as if recalling something.
"Beautiful older sister, who do you think I look like?"
Facing a beautiful stranger, Ye Liangchen usually called the other party 'beautiful older sister' to leave a good impression, and the woman in front of him was indeed a very beautiful woman.
That's right, 'big'! Ye Liangchen felt that Liu Erlong's hot figure was similar to Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun, both being the kind of big beauties who couldn't see their toes when they looked down.
"Beautiful older sister? Suling, this Xiao Jiahuo actually called me beautiful older sister, hahaha..."
Liu Erlong was also amused by Ye Liangchen's 'beautiful older sister' and laughed heartily without caring about her image. The scene immediately became turbulent, swaying back and forth.
The teachers and students from Blue Tyrant Academy beside them were also surprised. In their impression, the Dean rarely smiled. This time, she was actually amused by this young man's 'beautiful older sister.' It was truly strange.
"Erlong, you are beautiful!" Ye Suling said with a chuckle.
"Xiao Chen Didi, this is Dean Liu Erlong of Blue Tyrant Academy, and also my mother's good friend."
Ye Lingling whispered to Ye Liangchen, introducing Liu Erlong's identity.
"Suling, this Xiao Jiahuo's appearance is a bit like Liu Ruyan back then. Could he be her son?"
"You're right, he's her and Ye Feng's child."
"Ah! I didn't expect them to actually have a child."
Ye Liangchen was also stunned when he heard Liu Erlong and Ye Suling's conversation. It was unexpected that this hot-tempered and hot-figured Liu Erlong also knew his parents.
"Xiao Jiahuo, what's your name?" Liu Erlong asked Ye Liangchen.
"Junior's name is Ye Liangchen." Since the other party also knew his parents, Ye Liangchen didn't need to hide it.
"Ye Liangchen, your parents saved my life in the forest sixteen years ago, and then we became acquainted. My name is Liu Erlong, I am the Dean of Blue Tyrant Academy in Heaven Dou City. Your mother's surname is also Liu, so you should call me Aunt Liu."
Liu Erlong introduced her identity to Ye Liangchen, thinking how wonderful it would be if she had such a son!
At this moment, she also reached out, wanting to rub Ye Liangchen's head, but the Xiao Jiahuo avoided her.
"Why are you dodging?" Liu Erlong looked at Ye Liangchen's reaction and was immediately dumbfounded.
"So it's Dean Erlong! My apologies for not recognizing you sooner."
Ye Liangchen also greeted Liu Erlong. The other party was also a beautiful woman, and one should be polite to beautiful women.
Liu Erlong looked at Ye Liangchen, recalling how she went mad after being abandoned by Yu Xiaogang back then, often venturing alone into the Spirit Beast Forest to abuse Spirit Beasts, using it to vent her pain. Later, she accidentally encountered a siege by powerful Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Beasts and almost died, but was fortunately encountered and saved by Ye Feng and his wife.
The three became familiar this way. Afterwards, inspired by Liu Ruyan, she temporarily let go of her obsession and opened a Spirit Master Academy in Heaven Dou City, which is now Blue Tyrant Academy.
"Erlong, although your surname is also Liu, you and Xiao Chen's mother are not relatives!"
Ye Suling pouted, thinking that this woman really knew how to curry favor.
"Suling, is there a problem with that? I know Xiao Chen's parents, so of course, I can be considered his elder."
"Xiao Chen, where are you studying now? If you're not studying, come to our Blue Tyrant Academy! We have many beautiful girls there..."
Liu Erlong introduced the benefits of her Blue Tyrant Academy to Ye Liangchen, also mentioning that her academy had many beautiful female students, trying to lure him to her academy.
"Cough! Aunt Erlong, the academy Xiao Chen Didi attends has even more beautiful girls, you'd better not introduce it." At this moment, Dugu Yan interjected, interrupting Liu Erlong's introduction.
"Oh! Where does this Xiao Jiahuo study?" Liu Erlong asked curiously.
"Erlong, Tianshui Academy, where Xiao Chen is, has more beautiful girls than your academy." Ye Suling chuckled.
"Tianshui Academy?"
Liu Erlong and the teachers and students behind her were all stunned. They hadn't expected that this handsome young man in front of them was actually at the Tianshui Academy, a paradise filled with beautiful girls, a place men dreamed of!
