Chapter 48: Smoothing Out Tang Hao's Edges, Encountering Yu Xiaogang by Chance
Next, Ye Qingxian placed the nutritious meal in her hands onto the table, did what a good older sister should do, and then slowly left.
"By the way, Senior Sister, have you eaten breakfast? Let's eat together."
Taking the nutritious meal Ye Qingxian had placed on the table, Yun Yuan spoke to Bibi Dong, inviting her to join him.
Hearing this, Bibi Dong was about to refuse. She had no desire to eat the meal that girl had brought.
But in the next moment,
Yun Yuan picked up a strawberry that came with the meal and gently stuffed it into Bibi Dong's mouth, pushing it in.
"Senior Sister, here, eat."
Seeing that the strawberry was already in her mouth, Bibi Dong couldn't very well spit it out, so she could only reluctantly accept the food Ye Qingxian had prepared for Yun Yuan.
"By the way, Senior Sister, what did you and Teacher come to Heaven Dou City for? I was originally planning to go back in the next couple of days. I didn't expect you all to come instead. But that works too; I can go back with you then."
After feeding Bibi Dong a strawberry, Yun Yuan looked toward her side profile and asked, his voice filled with curiosity.
"Well, Junior Brother, according to Teacher, the Upper Three Sects are closely connected. Today is the day for the geniuses of their sects to compete and spar."
"Our Spirit Hall has come this time to interfere a bit, suppress their morale, and let them know the strength of Spirit Hall. And you, Junior Brother, are the peerless genius Teacher has sent out to strike them."
As Bibi Dong spoke, pride appeared on her face, feeling proud of Yun Yuan's extraordinary talent.
"I see. That does sound interesting."
After learning Qian Xunji's purpose, Yun Yuan showed no resistance at all. Instead, he was eager to try.
If Tang Hao was also present this time, wouldn't he get the chance to beat him up again?
After a year and a half, Yun Yuan's strength was naturally no longer comparable to before. His soul power level was now already on par with Tang Hao's from back then.
As for actual combat strength, even when crossing two major realms to fight genius soul masters, Yun Yuan was confident he could win, let alone Tang Hao, whose current soul power level was only that of a Soul Elder.
As for Soul Ancestor, Yun Yuan felt it was impossible. In just a year and a half, how could Tang Hao leap from rank twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster to the Soul Ancestor realm? Unless Tang Hao had fallen into corruption, only then would it be possible.
If he encountered Tang Hao, he could strike hard again and smooth out his arrogance once more, to see if he would still be as arrogant as before.
After explaining the purpose of coming to Heaven Dou City, Bibi Dong invited Yun Yuan to accompany her and properly stroll around the city.
Having come out of Spirit Hall, she had to enjoy herself properly; otherwise, she would feel like she had missed out.
Yun Yuan nodded in agreement. Having been apart from Bibi Dong for so long, he decided to accompany her well over the next few days. Once he returned to Spirit Hall, he would focus wholeheartedly on cultivation again.
Seeing Yun Yuan agree, Bibi Dong happily jumped up, then grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the Ye Family.
Heaven Dou City, marketplace.
Bibi Dong held Yun Yuan's hand as they wove through the bustling market. Eventually, they stopped in front of a street vendor selling snacks.
"Junior Brother, I want candied hawthorn."
Looking at the candied hawthorn in the vendor's hands, Bibi Dong shook Yun Yuan's arm and acted coquettishly.
Seeing this, Yun Yuan smiled slightly, took out a couple of copper soul coins from his pocket, bought two skewers of candied hawthorn, and the two of them continued strolling through the market, each holding one skewer.
As they wandered, they came across a rather interesting scene.
A rather ordinary-looking boy with a buzz cut was holding a few white radishes, feeding a purple, ugly pig-like creature.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong couldn't help but glance at it curiously. Was that ugly pig a pet? If so, that boy's taste was truly terrible.
Could it be that the boy had a fondness for ugly things?
Beside her, Yun Yuan, upon seeing the pig-like creature and the boy, immediately recognized who he was.
Yu Xiaogang of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, along with his external martial soul, Luo Sanpao.
While feeding Luo Sanpao, Yu Xiaogang seemed to sense the unusual gaze. He raised his head and looked around, spotting Bibi Dong and Yun Yuan.
When he saw Bibi Dong, a glint flashed in his eyes. This girl, how could she be so beautiful? If only he had such a bright and beautiful girl by his side.
But when his gaze shifted to Yun Yuan, a sense of inferiority arose within him. Yun Yuan was handsome and carried a maturity beyond his age.
As for himself, he looked completely ordinary, and his martial soul was such an ugly thing. Why had the heavens treated him so unfairly?
After finishing feeding Luo Sanpao, Yu Xiaogang recalled it back.
This instantly made Bibi Dong feel astonished. She even rubbed her eyes repeatedly with both hands, thinking she had seen it wrong.
"Junior Brother, I just saw that buzz-cut boy recall that ugly pig. What's going on?"
With her current knowledge, Bibi Dong did not yet understand the existence of external martial souls. She simply thought it was some kind of special ability, which made her ask Yun Yuan out of curiosity.
Hearing this, Yun Yuan began to explain.
"Senior Sister, that ugly pig just now is that boy's martial soul. His martial soul is different from normal people's. It is an external martial soul."
"An external martial soul has its own consciousness and can live like a normal soul beast. It also needs to be fed. Just now, that boy was feeding his martial soul white radishes."
After hearing Yun Yuan's explanation, Bibi Dong suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly. She had learned something new again. There were actually such martial souls in this world—truly fascinating.
While Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong were discussing, Yu Xiaogang, in the distance, slowly walked over.
Looking at the two of them, he forced a confident expression onto his face and spoke eloquently.
"You two, I can see that your bearing and attire are extraordinary. I presume you must be from a great sect."
"I am from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. My background is also not ordinary. My name is Yu Xiaogang. If possible, we could become friends."
After speaking, he looked at Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong with anticipation, his gaze mostly lingering on Bibi Dong.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang repeatedly glance at her, Bibi Dong took a few steps back and leaned tightly against Yun Yuan.
As for Yun Yuan, facing Yu Xiaogang's attempt at making friends, he slowly shook his head and politely refused.
"We were just curiously observing you earlier. We have no intention of making friends. Please don't misunderstand."
Faced with Yun Yuan's rejection, the smile on Yu Xiaogang's face instantly froze, leaving him extremely embarrassed. At the same time, a trace of dissatisfaction toward Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong arose in his heart.
Having awakened a useless martial soul and being constantly mocked within his sect, he was already extremely sensitive. Now that he had been rejected by Yun Yuan, he felt even more humiliated, believing that Yun Yuan was looking down on him.
