Chapter 48: Smoothing Out Tang Hao's Edges, A Chance Encounter with Yu Xiaogang
Next, Ye Qingxian placed the nutritious meal on the table, fulfilling her role as a good older sister before slowly departing.
"By the way, Senior Sister, have you had breakfast yet? Why don't we eat together?"
Taking the nutritious meal Ye Qingxian had left on the table, Yun Yuan spoke to Bibi Dong, inviting her to join him.
Hearing this, Bibi Dong was about to refuse; she didn't want to eat anything sent by that woman.
But in the next moment...
Yun Yuan picked up a strawberry included with the meal and gently tucked it into Bibi Dong's mouth.
"Come on, Senior Sister, eat."
Seeing the strawberry already in her mouth, Bibi Dong couldn't very well spit it out, so she reluctantly accepted the food Ye Qingxian had prepared for Yun Yuan.
"By the way, Senior Sister, what brings you and Teacher to Heaven Dou City? I was planning to head back in a day or two, but I didn't expect you all to come. It's just as well; I'll return with you when the time comes."
After feeding Bibi Dong a strawberry, Yun Yuan looked at her profile and asked with a hint of confusion in his voice.
"Well, Junior Brother, according to Teacher, the Upper Three Sects are closely linked. Today is the day of their Sects' genius competition."
"Our Spirit Hall has come this time to naturally intervene and suppress their morale, letting them know the strength of our Spirit Hall. And you, Junior Brother, are the peerless genius Teacher sent to crush them."
Bibi Dong said, a look of pride appearing on her face, boasting of Yun Yuan's formidable talent.
"Is that so? Then it really is getting interesting."
Knowing Qian Xunji's objective, Yun Yuan felt no resistance at all; instead, he was eager to try.
If Tang Hao was there this time, wouldn't he be able to give him another thrashing?
After a year and a half, Yun Yuan's strength was naturally incomparable to what it once was; his current Soul Power level was already equal to Tang Hao's from a year and a half ago.
As for strength, even across two major realms against genius Soul Masters, Yun Yuan was confident in his victory, let alone now when Tang Hao was only a Soul Elder.
As for being a Soul Sect, Yun Yuan felt it was impossible. In a year and a half, how could Tang Hao have leaped from a rank twenty-nine Great Soul Master to the Soul Sect realm? Unless Tang Hao was a Fallen One, it wouldn't be possible.
Once he encountered Tang Hao, he could strike hard and smooth out his sharp edges again, seeing if he was still as arrogant as back then.
After explaining the purpose of coming to Heaven Dou City, Bibi Dong invited Yun Yuan to accompany her for a stroll around the city.
Since she had come out of Spirit Hall, she had to enjoy herself properly; otherwise, she would feel like she had missed out.
To this, Yun Yuan nodded and agreed to Bibi Dong's invitation. Having been apart from her for so long, he would spend these few days with her properly, and then focus on his cultivation once they returned to Spirit Hall.
Seeing Yun Yuan agree, Bibi Dong jumped up happily and then pulled him out of the Ye Family residence.
In the marketplace of Heaven Dou City.
Bibi Dong held Yun Yuan's hand as they wove through the market, finally stopping in front of a vendor selling snacks.
"Junior Brother, I want Candied hawthorn."
Bibi Dong looked at the Candied hawthorn in the vendor's hand, tugged on Yun Yuan's arm, and spoke to him coquettishly.
Seeing this, Yun Yuan smiled slightly, took out a couple of bronze coins from his robe, and bought two sticks of Candied hawthorn. Each holding one, they continued wandering through the market.
While they were strolling, they saw a very interesting scene.
A boy with an ordinary appearance and a buzz cut was holding several white radishes, feeding a purple and ugly pig-like creature.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong couldn't help but look curiously. Was that ugly pig a pet? If so, this buzz-cut boy's taste was quite poor.
Could it be that this boy had a fetish for ugliness?
Beside Bibi Dong, Yun Yuan recognized the pig and the boy instantly.
Yu Xiaogang of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and his Separated Martial Soul, Luo San Pao.
Yu Xiaogang, who was feeding Luo San Pao, seemed to sense an unusual gaze. He looked up and scanned his surroundings, spotting Bibi Dong and Yun Yuan.
When he saw Bibi Dong, a glint appeared in Yu Xiaogang's eyes. How could this girl be so beautiful? If only there were such a bright and beautiful girl by his side.
But when he turned his gaze to Yun Yuan, a feeling of inferiority welled up inside him. Yun Yuan was very handsome and exuded a maturity that didn't belong to his age.
And what about him? He had an ordinary face, and his Martial Soul was such an ugly thing. Why was heaven so unfair to him?
Then, after Yu Xiaogang finished feeding Luo San Pao, he recalled it.
This scene instantly surprised Bibi Dong, who even rubbed her eyes with her small hands, thinking she had seen wrongly.
"Junior Brother, I think I just saw that buzz-cut boy take that ugly pig back. What happened?"
With her current knowledge, Bibi Dong didn't quite understand the existence of Separated Martial Souls, thinking it was some mysterious technique of Yu Xiaogang's. She couldn't help but ask Yun Yuan.
Hearing this, Yun Yuan began to explain to Bibi Dong.
"Senior Sister, that ugly pig just now was that boy's Martial Soul. His Martial Soul is different from those of normal people; it's a Separated Martial Soul."
"A Separated Martial Soul has its own consciousness and can live like a normal Soul Beast. It also needs to be fed. That boy was just feeding his Martial Soul white radishes."
After hearing Yun Yuan's explanation, Bibi Dong realized what was happening and nodded repeatedly. She had learned something new again; it was truly miraculous that such a Martial Soul existed in this world.
While Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong were discussing, Yu Xiaogang, who was not far away, slowly walked over.
He looked at Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong, forcing a look of confidence onto his face as he spoke eloquently.
"You two, I see that you have extraordinary temperaments and dress. I bet you must come from a great Sect."
"I am from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and my background is equally extraordinary. My name is Yu Xiaogang. If possible, we could become friends."
After saying this, he looked at Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong with an expectant gaze, though his eyes mostly lingered on Bibi Dong.
Seeing this man glancing at her from time to time, Bibi Dong took a few steps back and leaned closer to Yun Yuan.
As for Yun Yuan, facing Yu Xiaogang's offer of friendship, he slowly shook his head and politely declined.
"We were just looking at you out of curiosity earlier. We have no intention of becoming friends, so please don't overthink it."
Faced with Yun Yuan's polite refusal, the smile on Yu Xiaogang's face instantly froze, looking very awkward. At the same time, a hint of resentment toward Yun Yuan and Bibi Dong grew in his heart.
Having awakened a trash Martial Soul and suffered constant ridicule within his Sect, he was extremely sensitive. Now that he was rejected by Yun Yuan, he felt even more humiliated, believing that Yun Yuan was looking down on him.
