Douluo: Protect Our Soul Hall

Chapter 261 West City Slums

I continued to wander around Caron Academy for half an hour.

Ye Qifeng found a quiet, quiet and beautiful place in the distant forest where the stream passed, which was just suitable to be transformed into Liu Erlong's seclusion.

After visiting almost every corner of Caron College, I have a clear idea.

Ye Qifeng led Qian Renxue to a remote wall footing. After a brief inspection, he realized that no one was passing by or patrolling outside.

With Qian Renxue's soft cry, she hugged her soft willow waist that could be grasped, then inspired her soul power, used her meteor phantom body technique, leaped over the ten-meter-high courtyard wall, and came out.

Caron College.

Qian Renxue has the ability to fly.

Her own martial spirit Seraphim has the ability to control the sky, and it comes with the gifted soul skill Angel Wings. If she wants to cross a ten-meter-high courtyard wall, don't be too easy.

However, it was not convenient to use the martial arts at this time, so Ye Qifeng had to carry her over the wall.

Although she was able to cross the courtyard wall with the cultivation of a level 62 soul emperor, relying only on physical strength and soul power, how could it be so easy for Ye Qifeng to do it for her.

This is a little bit of Qian Renxue’s thoughts.

But Ye Qifeng just didn't care.

Anyway, carrying a person over the wall feels good to him and is a piece of cake.

Although Qian Renxue is 1.8 meters tall, she is actually not very heavy and is rather light.

Especially at this time, after being disguised with the Angel Soul Bone skill, her figure became much smaller, and accordingly, her weight also decreased.

Not long after.

Holding Qian Renxue's waist, Ye Qifeng landed lightly on the ground. He quickly let go of his hand and patted Qian Renxue's back to indicate that she had reached the ground and could come down.

Qian Renxue, who had her hands around Ye Qifeng's neck and put all her weight on him, saw this and had no choice but to reluctantly let go and get off him.

To be honest, he and Ye Qifeng were pressed against each other. Although they were very shy, they felt extremely comfortable.

Qian Renxue knew that this was the mysterious aura of Ye Qifeng, but she was willing to be affected and even wanted to experience it more.

That feeling is really great.

In fact, Qian Renxue's resistance is extremely high, and the mysterious aura does not have a great impact on her. The reason why she feels very comfortable is actually more from her own imagination.

There is no need for the influence of the mysterious aura at all. Some of the thoughts in her mind have surpassed the mysterious aura itself.

Ye Qifeng didn't pay special attention to what Qian Renxue was thinking at the moment.

He glanced around and found that this was a street, but it seemed a bit remote. There were not many buildings nearby, some were dilapidated, and there were no people around.

The streets are paved with bricks and stones, but due to years of disrepair, they are no longer smooth and full of mud. You can barely recognize that the bricks and stones paved are the same blue bricks as other urban streets.

On this street, floor tiles are missing in many places, and potholes have formed in some places where rainwater has accumulated.

The remaining intact floor tiles are also laid loosely on the ground.

Ye Qifeng had no doubt that if he stepped on it, there would be splashes of water.

"So dilapidated?"

Qian Renxue had come to her senses at this time, glanced around, frowned slightly, and sighed slightly.

This was the first time she had seen the dilapidated scene of Tiandou City.

Ye Qifeng glanced at her with a slightly strange expression.

But after thinking about it, I quickly realized that Qian Renxue must have never seen such a scene.

After all, she has been well protected since she was a child, and it is normal for her not to have the opportunity to see the living environment of the common people at the bottom.

Wuhun City, where she once lived, and Tiandou City now, are both prosperous and prosperous places.

Not to mention Wuhun City, the entire city is equally prosperous everywhere, and no place is dilapidated or poor.

Tiandou City has serious class divisions. Xicheng is an urban area where civilians gather. Poverty, backwardness and chaos are all concentrated here.

But Qian Renxue pretended to be Prince Tiandou, and his activities were mostly in several other urban areas.

Even if you come to Xicheng, you are limited to well-ordered areas. It is impossible to go deep into Xicheng and risk your life, so you have no chance to get in touch with the living environment of the lower-class civilians.

This time, it would be good to let her see it.

As the young master of the Wuhun Palace, the little princess of the Qian Family, and the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire, it is not a good thing to always be aloof and unaware of the sufferings of the people.

Thinking of this, Ye Qifeng smiled faintly and said softly to Qian Renxue:

"The living environment of civilians in Xicheng is no better than in other areas. You must have heard about it, Xue'er..."

Saying that, Ye Qifeng took out a simple map from the purple jade crystal ring, reached out and tapped on it, indicating to Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue's eyes brightened slightly, and she immediately came forward, close to Ye Qifeng, and looked at the map together.

A warm and soft magnetic voice sounded in my ears, bringing a burst of warmth and tingling. I heard Ye Qifeng say:

"Our current location is on the west side of Caron College, which is right next to the area where the slums are located, that is, the slums."

"It's normal for the surrounding area to be a little dilapidated, so don't be surprised."

"If you walk a little further, you will truly enter the slum area. The dilapidation there is the real dilapidation, beyond your imagination."

"Dirty, rotten, stinky, chaotic, crime, disease...all the bad scenes that you don't see in ordinary times can be seen in slums..."

Listening to Ye Qifeng's description of the slums, Qian Renxue's scalp felt numb and she felt a little nauseous. She opened her eyes wide with disbelief on her face and couldn't help but wonder, can people live in such a place?

"Xue'er, how are you? Do you want to go and have a look?"

At this time, Ye Qifeng turned around, looked at Qian Renxue's slightly changed face, and asked her seriously.

Qian Renxue pursed her lips slightly when she heard this, but did not answer immediately. Her head was slightly lowered, as if she was thinking.

When Ye Qifeng saw this, he didn't think anything was wrong. He smiled gently at her and said softly:

"If you don't want to visit this kind of place, it doesn't matter. We can turn back and go to other parts of the city."

"No, I want to go."

At this time, Qian Renxue suddenly raised her head, her face returned to indifference and calmness, and she said with a slightly firm tone:

"I've seen a lot of bustling and lively places, but I've never seen such a dirty and messy place. I just want to see it."

"Xiao Feng, please take me there."

Ye Qifeng was not surprised by Qian Renxue's choice. With her proud character and firm mind, she would not back down.

"good."

So Ye Qifeng nodded and said simply, then his voice changed and he emphasized:

"However, if you feel unwell, you must remember to tell me in time, okay?"

He couldn't help but add a sentence, lest Qian Renxue's outlook on life would be too greatly impacted after seeing the harsh environment in the slums, leading to a collapse of her worldview.

It's not good if you are stimulated too much. After all, too much is never enough.

"Okay, I know."

Qian Renxue nodded quickly, although she didn't know why Ye Qifeng emphasized the last sentence, as if she didn't believe she could bear it.

But she felt warm in her heart because she felt Ye Qifeng's concern from his words.

Facts prove.

Just as Ye Qifeng feared, Qian Renxue overestimated her own endurance. Although her outlook on life was not shattered and her worldview collapsed, she was greatly impacted.

...

In the next hour.

Under the leadership of Ye Qifeng, Qian Renxue finally saw what a slum is and what it means to live in dire straits.

The moment she first saw the slums, even though she was mentally prepared, she still felt extremely shocked, horrified, dumbfounded, and unbelievable...

All kinds of indescribable shocking emotions directly filled her heart.

She almost couldn't believe that this kind of place was actually in Tiandou City, in the imperial capital of a country, right at the feet of the emperor.

...

There are many civilians in slums, they are overcrowded and densely packed.

Living well is almost impossible.

Most of them live in low and shabby tents; some live in nests that are worse than tents; some even have no nest at all, covering themselves with a rag and sleeping on the ground...

.

Except people.

The most common things in the slums are flies, cockroaches, rats, etc., these creatures that live in dark, damp and dirty places.

Almost coexisting with people.

The roads in the slums are crowded, narrow, and full of potholes.

Because it had rained the past two days, there was gray-black or thick-yellow sewage accumulated in each pothole, emitting a strong stench. I don't know what was mixed in it.

[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www. Install the latest version. 】

The environment in the slums was so bad that it was so dirty and smelly that Qian Renxue almost vomited.

Even the streets close to the slums are full of garbage, feces, dead rats, dead dogs and cats with maggots...

Occasionally, you can see a few corpses wrapped in mats or rags, waiting for someone to pick them up and transport them away.

This is pretty good, at least someone is collecting the bodies.

Others fell carelessly in some nook and cranny or in some smelly ditch.

I don’t know whether he died of starvation, illness, or was killed by someone.

In short.

No one cares, no one collects the body.

Just lying there quietly, waiting to rot, grow maggots, or be eaten clean by wild dogs, rats, etc.

This is the slum?

Seeing these scenes, Qian Renxueren felt numb and couldn't help but wonder, was this still the Tiandou City she knew?

It's so barren and the people don't live like human beings. It's simply miserable and terrifying.

...

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes that are either curious, dull, or numb.

Ye Qifeng took Qian Renxue through a slum again.

Fortunately, the two of them have the cultivation level of Soul King and Soul Emperor respectively, and are extremely skilled in controlling soul power. They can already drive the soul power to linger around them, forming an airtight protective layer to isolate the filth and stench of the outside world.

You don’t have to worry about getting any dirt or smell on your body.

Most of the residents in slums are ignorant and even timid, and are naturally afraid of strangers who suddenly arrive.

Especially when facing people like Ye Qifeng and Qian Renxue, who are neatly dressed, have a good temperament, and vaguely exude the aura of a superior, they don't dare to act rashly.

He didn't even dare to take another look. After Ye Qifeng and Qian Renxue glanced at him, they both shrank back into their tents or nests.

Maybe some smart people would show defense and hostility to the two of them, but they would not dare to actually attack.

certainly.

During this hour.

Naturally, it was not all smooth sailing for the two of them as they wandered through the chaotic slums.

There were also some unscrupulous and ignorant guys, either for money or sex, who attacked the two of them.

After all, this is the slums of Xicheng, where chaos and disorder are the main theme. Fights, killings, and crimes are common.

But in the end, those who dared to attack the two of them were naturally dealt with by Ye Qifeng without exception.

Ye Qifeng used a certain interrogation method in his memory to briefly interrogate some of the villains who had done many evil things and cared little about human lives, and then sent him back to the west.

After traveling for more than a year, coupled with the influence of memories from the previous life, Ye Qifeng will not be lenient when killing people.

Qian Renxue, on the other hand, stood aside and watched Ye Qifeng take action. She couldn't help but feel brilliant. Her eyes were starry. She suddenly realized Ye Qifeng's cold side, which made her feel extremely surprised and fresh.

...

After leaving the slums.

The two came to a nearby street.

I saw children on the street who were naked, skinny, and skinny, but whose bellies were bulging like balls.

Qian Renxue couldn't help but show a touch of pity in her eyes.

From Ye Qifeng's words, she already knew that those children had such swollen bellies because of poor food and malnutrition, which led to ascites, hepatosplenomegaly, intestinal edema, etc.

"Xiao Feng, why do they live so hard?"

Qian Renxue suddenly asked in a low voice.

"The rulers should do nothing."

Ye Qifeng thought for a moment and said calmly:

"Xue'er, you have been pretending to be the Crown Prince of Tiandou for several years. You should know the attitude of the Tiandou royal family towards Xicheng and the common people."

"In the final analysis, the Tiandou royal family is a vested interest belonging to the aristocratic class."

"The royal family gains benefits from the big nobles, the big nobles harvest the small nobles, and the small nobles exploit the common people."

"With such layers of exploitation and oppression, the Tiandou royal family and nobles have made a lot of money, while the common people are in dire straits."

"The nobles took advantage of their power and used various means to rob and drive the common people out of the land they had relied on for generations."

"When the common people are destitute and have difficulty surviving, gathering places like slums will emerge at the right time."

"As representatives of the nobility, the Tiandou royal family only values ​​the interests of the nobility. In their eyes, the common people are just prey waiting to be harvested. As long as no one overthrows their rule, they will not care about the life and death of the common people."

"Especially the civilians in the slums who cannot generate value and have no benefits to harvest, they will ignore it even more."

"The Tiandou royal family vacated the West City to allow civilians to live in, and allowed the formation of slums. It was nothing more than gathering these civilians with nothing in one place, giving them a barely viable shelter, and giving them a little hope of survival.

Just to avoid causing chaos."

Ye Qifeng paused for a moment, changed his words, and then said:

"Of course, the Tiandou royal family cannot be entirely blamed for the poor life of the civilians in the slums. There are also reasons for these civilians themselves."

"Why do you say that?"

Qian Renxue raised her eyes, looked at Ye Qifeng, and asked doubtfully.

"Xue'er, remember one sentence."

Ye Qifeng said leisurely, "Poor people must be hateful."

"If they don't do anything themselves, don't think about how to make a living, don't seek to make progress, and just want to survive, who can save them."

"poor person must have something mean?"

Qian Renxue murmured in a low voice, thinking deeply.

"Okay, don't think so much. We can't help them now. If you are willing, you can try to change this situation when you become the emperor of the Tiandou Empire."

"Well, I understand."

"Let's go."
