Douluo Dalu: Every Breath Steals Tang San's Women

Chapter 99: Setting Off for the Balak Kingdom

When Lu Chen returned to Saint Spirit Village with Ah Yin, the sky had already turned completely dark.

He remembered that when he set off, Rose had told him to come home early for dinner, so he quickened his pace with Ah Yin and headed toward his home.

Before he even reached home, he saw from a distance that his courtyard was packed with villagers.

These villagers were holding various local specialties: salted fish, cured meat, chickens, eggs, flour, fruit, and all sorts of farm products.

It was clear they were here to give gifts; the news that he was a Spirit Elder had likely spread throughout the village.

At that moment, someone sharp-eyed spotted Lu Chen returning from outside and shouted loudly:

"Look, everyone! Little Chen is here!"

With that single sentence, the villagers crowded in the courtyard turned their heads in unison, their eyes so fervent and burning that they seemed ready to melt Lu Chen.

A crowd of villagers poured out of the courtyard, scrambling to surround Lu Chen, greeting him all at once. Because there were so many people and the voices were so chaotic, the scene became very noisy.

Lu Chen felt a headache coming on. Out of necessity, he mobilized a sliver of spirit power and channeled it to his throat:

"Uncles and elders, please don’t worry. I’ve just returned and won’t be leaving immediately. We can talk about anything slowly. Now, please make way and let me go home to speak with my parents."

With the enhancement of spirit power, Lu Chen’s voice was extremely loud, instantly drowning out everyone else’s voices.

As Lu Chen’s voice fell, the scene suddenly became silent.

The looks they gave Lu Chen were now full of awe and reverence.

There was a stir in the crowd, and a path was quickly cleared.

Lu Chen took the opportunity to lead Ah Yin back into his courtyard, where he saw his parents waiting for him.

Lu An and Rose’s faces were filled with pride; the couple had never been so popular in the village before.

It was all because of Lu Chen!

Because their son had become a respected Spirit Master!

Seeing Lu Chen return, Lu An rubbed his hands, his face full of pride yet also showing some hesitation:

"Little Chen, the fact that your mother, I, and the village head have regained our youth has been noticed by our neighbors."

"Everyone is related in some way, and they want you to take a look at them. They’ve brought gifts too—look, the house and courtyard are filled with food and drink everywhere."

"We didn’t know if this would make things difficult for you, so we didn’t dare agree on your behalf. Now that you’re back, what do you think we should do?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen gave a light chuckle and nodded in agreement:

"Father, I agree. In a moment, have the uncles in the village get ready, and I will use a Spirit Ability on them."

They were all from the same village; if Lu Chen refused outright, it would make his parents lose face.

To make his parents proud, Lu Chen didn’t mind performing a Blue Silver Purification once for each villager.

As for the power of the seed of life, Lu Chen did not intend to use it this time.

Aside from his immediate family and Old Jack, who had helped him a lot, others were not worth Lu Chen using the seed of life on.

At this moment, Rose looked at Ah Yin behind Lu Chen and asked with a puzzled expression:

"Little Chen, who is this young lady? Why didn’t we see her when you first left? It’s only been half a day; where did you find her?"

Lu Chen immediately introduced her:

"Father, Mother, her name is Ah... Lan. I found her in the city this afternoon."

"She is also a Spirit Master. I’ve asked her to take care of you, perform regular health checks, and be responsible for your daily life."

"I was away from home for three years, and when I returned, you looked like you had aged ten years. I don’t want to see that happen again. With Ah Lan at home looking after you, I’ll be more at ease while I’m out adventuring."

Hearing Lu Chen say this, Lu An and Rose felt somewhat restless, looking at Ah Yin with constrained expressions.

As ordinary villagers, how could they have ever imagined a day when a Spirit Master would take care of their daily lives!

Ah Yin felt no discomfort; Lu Chen’s brand was etched into the depths of her Soul, and her heart was filled only with loyalty to him.

She stepped forward and gave a respectful bow:

"Master, Madam!"

Being addressed like this by Ah Yin, Lu An and Rose felt as if they were dreaming.

A noble Spirit Master was actually calling them Master and Madam.

Lu Chen added fuel to the fire:

"Father, Mother, let her stay. I’ve already brought her back; I can’t very well send her back now."

"Look, because we were in such a hurry, she even ran her shoes off."

Lu An and Rose looked down and saw that Ah Yin indeed had no shoes on and was still barefoot.

Seeing this, Rose gave Lu Chen a reproachful glare:

"Little Chen, even if you were in a hurry, there was no need to be so rushed. A young lady follows you to our village, and you make her run her shoes off."

"Miss Ah Lan, come inside with me quickly. I’ll find a pair of shoes for you."

With those words, Rose led Ah Yin into the house.

With this, Lu Chen finally succeeded in leaving Ah Yin at home. When he went out to roam the continent again, he wouldn’t have to fear his parents being in danger.

Afterward, Lu Chen turned and walked out of the courtyard, his gaze sweeping over the villagers:

"Uncles, I am going to perform a Spirit Ability. No matter what happens in a moment, do not be alarmed."

Then he summoned his Spirit, and three disguised spirit rings Rose from beneath his feet.

Yellow, yellow, purple!

Under Lu Chen’s control, hundreds of Blue Silver Vines spread out, each one Binding a villager.

Amidst the villagers’ exclamations of wonder, Lu Chen performed the Blue Silver Purification.

In an instant, all the Blue Silver Vines burst into light, which merged into the villagers’ bodies.

It began to nourish their limbs, bones, and internal organs, dispelling the weakness caused by old age, overwork, and illness, causing a significant improvement in their physical condition.

These villagers felt as if they had grown over ten years younger. Those old ailments like backaches and leg pains all vanished at this moment.

This made everyone feel a deep sense of respect and awe for Lu Chen, the Spirit Master.

Even after Lu Chen stopped performing the Spirit Ability, the villagers were still reluctant to leave.

It took Lu An going to persuade them one by one to finally get them to go.

Under the constant flattery of the villagers, Lu An couldn’t stop smiling, his mouth nearly grinning from ear to ear.

In all these years, Lu An had never been as happy as he was today.

Over the next few days, Lu Chen stayed home to accompany his parents. He enjoyed a rare period of leisure and a relaxed life.

However, three days later, Lu Chen prepared to leave again.

After saying goodbye to his parents and under their reluctant gazes, Lu Chen left the village once more to embark on his journey.

And his destination was the Balak Kingdom!

The Balak Kingdom was one of the four major kingdoms under the Heaven Dou Empire. It possessed the great granary known as the Lima Plain, and on that plain was a city called Soto City.

In the countryside of Soto City, there was an academy called Shrek Academy.

Lu Chen intended to go there. Tang San and Xiao Wu should both be there now. He had endured for six years; if Tang San could still attend school peacefully, then his increase in strength would have been for nothing.
