Jiang Taichu: Ah Yin, You Really Are an Empress Grass

"If I saw that right, the spear that little brother was holding was formed from Blue Silver Grass, wasn't it?"

"But isn't Blue Silver Grass a Trash Martial Soul? How could it be so powerful? Not only can it produce Life Essence, but its combat power is also off the charts."

"From what I can tell, even a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul couldn't reach that level of combat power at the same level."

Ye Lingling studied Jiang Taichu with great curiosity.

This mysterious little brother had really whetted her appetite.

"Little brother, did you come to Heaven Dou City all by yourself?"

"Little brother, you have no one to rely on and have to make a living running a stall. How about letting big sister take care of you? Stick with me, and I'll make sure you eat and drink like a king."

Ye Lingling kept asking him questions.

Listening to Ye Lingling chatter on and on, Jiang Taichu was thoroughly annoyed.

Wasn't Ye Lingling a quiet girl in the original story?

Why was she so lively and flighty when he met her today, her mouth firing away like a machine gun?

Was that aloof act all a disguise? Is she actually a closeted flirt?

Jiang Taichu couldn't help having that thought.

"Blue-haired big sister, I, Jiang Taichu, am a man of principle."

"Rather than living off a woman, I prefer to support myself. Please have some self-respect, big sister."

Jiang Taichu spoke with a straight face, looking utterly serious.

Ye Lingling laughed and gestured with her hand to show the difference in their heights.

"Little brother, wait until you're as tall as my chest before you call yourself a man."

"I'm serious, little brother. As long as you agree to come back to the Ye Family with me, I'll make sure you eat and drink like a king. I definitely won't treat you badly."

Ye Lingling put away her smile, her expression turning serious.

The Ye Family of Heaven Dou.

Although the family head inherited the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, the family needed powerful combat strength to support it if it was to pass on its legacy safely.

Just like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect: although its sect master had a support-type Martial Soul, it had powerful Titled Douluo elders.

That was why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had always been among the Upper Three Sects.

Today, she, Ye Lingling, had met someone as extraordinary as Jiang Taichu.

Not only did he have a Life-Type Martial Soul, but his attack power was also absurdly strong.

Most importantly, this extraordinary person was also a cute little boy of seven or eight.

What female heir to a family could resist spiriting Jiang Taichu back home?

"Blue-haired big sister, I'm serious too."

"I don't like joining other factions, and I don't like being tied down. I only like going my own way."

Jiang Taichu answered seriously once again.

Seeing that Jiang Taichu had made up his mind, Ye Lingling stopped pestering him.

"All right, little brother. I respect your decision."

Ye Lingling sighed, feeling it was a pity.

Beside the stall, everyone turned their eyes to Jiang Taichu.

"Little genius, will you be setting up your stall here to sell Life Essence again tomorrow?"

Their eyes were full of anticipation, hoping Jiang Taichu's answer would be what they wanted to hear.

But Jiang Taichu shook his head and explained:

"Please understand, everyone. I produce this Life Essence using my Martial Soul's ability, and each time takes a great deal of effort."

"Besides, the quantity and quality of the Life Essence depend on my Soul Power Level. The higher my Soul Power Level, the greater the quantity and the better the quality."

"I estimate that the next time I sell Life Essence will be about a month from now. During that month, everyone can prepare their money. If you need some, you can wait for the next sale in a month."

"In a month, I'll be selling a larger quantity of Life Essence. I hope you'll continue to support me."

Although everyone had expected as much, they still sighed upon hearing a definite answer.

"Little genius, see you here in a month."

The effects of the Life Essence made their mouths water.

But Jiang Taichu wasn't a perpetual-motion machine that could produce Life Essence without limit.

Still, there was no hurry.

From now on, Jiang Taichu would sell Life Essence every month, at least ten bottles each time.

They might not be able to buy any in the short term, but with so much time ahead of them, they refused to believe they couldn't get their hands on a single bottle.

After Jiang Taichu left, the bustling crowd soon dispersed.

Battle Axe, whose hand tendons Jiang Taichu had severed earlier, left with his teeth clenched.

"Damn brat, one day I'll get my revenge..."

Battle Axe walked along, cursing under his breath.

When he reached a deserted alley, a stunning woman in blue robes and a veil suddenly appeared before him.

The stunning woman was Ah Yin.

She had come on Jiang Taichu's orders to cut the grass and pull up the roots!

The next moment.

She gently raised one hand. Soul Power and life force surged around her, and a spear formed from Blue Silver Grass slowly appeared in her palm.

Blue Silver Overlord Spear!

Seeing the familiar blue spear and feeling the might radiating from Ah Yin, Battle Axe was nearly scared out of his wits.

"Y-you're one of that brat's people?!"

At those words, killing intent of the utmost intensity filled Ah Yin's eyes.

"You dared insult my master. You deserve to die!"

Ah Yin's figure flashed, and she appeared directly in front of Battle Axe. The Blue Silver Overlord Spear pierced straight through his body.

The whole process took less than a second.

After dealing with Battle Axe, Ah Yin disappeared from the alley.

Meanwhile.

After selling the Life Essence and earning several hundred Gold Soul Coins, Jiang Taichu went and bought a courtyard house.

The courtyard was far from the center of Heaven Dou City, on its outskirts, where few people came.

A secluded, quiet place like this was exactly what Jiang Taichu needed.

"Master, now we have a home of our own too."

"This courtyard is quite big, and there are lots of flowers and plants around it. Ah Yin really likes it here."

Ah Yin spoke with a blissful expression.

In her heart, as long as she lived with Jiang Taichu, everything was wonderful.

To Ah Yin, Jiang Taichu was her everything.

"Mm, we'll live here from now on."

Jiang Taichu took more than a hundred Gold Soul Coins from his pocket and placed them in Ah Yin's hands.

"Ah Yin, there are a few things I need you to do now."

"You know what Whale Rubber is, right?"

Jiang Taichu began by asking.

Ah Yin nodded and glanced at Jiang Taichu.

"Ah Yin knows about it."

"But Master, your body... it seems Whale Rubber wouldn't be of any use to you either."

As Jiang Taichu's contracted Soul Beast, Ah Yin knew his true age.

At such a young age, even if he had the will, he lacked the ability.

"Ah Yin will always be by your side, Master. You don't need to be in such a hurry. When the time comes, you can take it whenever you want."

Ah Yin's cheeks were flushed red, and her face was full of embarrassment.

Jiang Taichu sighed.

"Ah Yin, crouch down first."

Though Ah Yin was confused, she did as she was told.

What awaited her was a flick on the forehead from Jiang Taichu.

"Ah Yin, you really are an empress grass."
