Tang San, you're getting a new mom!
Xu Xin slowly walked out of the Spirit Hall branch.
"Uncle Guard, may I ask who the great Pope of Spirit Hall is right now?"
Xu Xin did not stint on praise. This was Spirit Hall, after all, so he could not be too presumptuous.
The guard crouched down and looked at Xu Xin. "Little one, the current Pope is Lord Qian Xunji."
Qian Xunji?
That meant he had transmigrated to a time before Qian Xunji's death?
Tang San had not been born yet, and neither had those aloof beauties...
He had transmigrated too early—far too early, so early that he could not even tell what era this was.
There was no need for Xu Xin to ask any further. Improving his strength was more important right now. As long as he became powerful enough, whatever pathetic Tang San or anyone else came along, none of them would be able to withstand a single move from him.
After bidding the guard farewell, Xu Xin began wandering the streets.
He had Innate Full Spirit Power and could directly obtain his first Soul Ring, but his current strength was insufficient. He might not even be able to defeat those Soul Beasts.
Sitting on a set of steps, Xu Xin began to hesitate.
Should he join Spirit Hall? Or should he wait a few months, earn some money, buy a weapon, and then hunt a Soul Ring?
The current Pope of Spirit Hall was still Qian Xunji. That guy was no good person either, and Xu Xin, who knew the plot, had no desire to join.
"I can join an academy!"
How had he forgotten that? If he joined an academy, wouldn't he be able to hunt a Soul Ring? He had Spirit Hall's certification now, so he could absolutely enroll in an academy. Even becoming a work-study student would be fine.
Having made up his mind, Xu Xin immediately stood up.
"Hiss, so soft!"
Xu Xin felt as though he had bumped into something. He rubbed his head—eh, it did not hurt.
He raised his eyes slightly, and an exquisitely beautiful face entered his view.
Her blue-gold gown made her seem noble and magnificent, while her azure eyes were as flawless as blue crystals.
So beautiful!
Xu Xin subconsciously swallowed.
"Little one, are... are you all right?"
The woman's voice was gentle, like the whisper of a fairy. Every word sank deep into Xu Xin's heart.
"A... A Yin?"
Scratching his head, Xu Xin unconsciously blurted out those words.
Realizing something was wrong, Xu Xin immediately covered his mouth.
This mouth of his was such a nuisance.
"You know me?" A Yin looked at the little boy before her in confusion. She was certain this was the first time she had met him.
Xu Xin immediately shook his head and held his forehead. "No, no, I don't. Who are you, big sister?"
A Yin widened her eyes and stared at Xu Xin. "You really don't know me, little one?"
"B-Bad lady, you bumped into me."
With no other choice, Xu Xin recalled the cutesy way people talked in his previous life and deliberately repeated it with slurred pronunciation.
"B-Bad person?" A Yin froze for a moment, then laughed. So she had misheard him.
A Yin crouched down and gently rubbed Xu Xin's little head. A warm, holy energy entered his body.
Xu Xin felt a wave of comfort.
"I... I feel much better." Xu Xin gazed at the peerless beauty before him with pure eyes.
"Big sister, could you help me with something?"
Xu Xin immediately spoke up. He knew A Yin was kind-hearted and gentle, which was why he dared to ask.
"Help you? Go ahead, little one."
A Yin did not refuse and asked softly.
"Big sister, can you help me hunt a hundred-year Soul Beast?"
Xu Xin opened his eyes wide and stared straight at A Yin, his gaze filled with pleading.
Seeing Xu Xin's harmless eyes, kind-hearted A Yin immediately felt sorry for him and nodded in agreement!
A hundred-year Soul Beast was not a problem. What A Yin hated were those who hunted highly intelligent Soul Beasts.
"Thank you, big sister!"
Xu Xin sighed in relief. Being a child really was useful, though putting on this act was honestly exhausting.
His first Soul Ring was finally within reach!
Xu Xin had not expected to run into A Yin by chance. Judging by her appearance, she probably had not met Tang Hao yet.
Otherwise, the Tang Hao brothers would never have let such a beauty wander out alone.
Heh heh, little Hao, since that was the case, your wife was gone.
Tang San, you were getting a new mother!
It had to be said that if A Yin had not been gentle, kind, and easy to fool, he really might not have found such good labor.
The world was dangerous, A Yin!!
On the way, A Yin and Xu Xin introduced themselves to each other.
"Big Sister, where are we going to hunt for a Soul Ring?" Xu Xin asked leisurely as they walked.
"Sunset Forest. It's safer there."
A Yin rubbed Xu Xin's head and spoke gently.
Sunset Forest?
If Xu Xin remembered correctly, there were Immortal Herbs there. They should still be unclaimed by now, right?
He would never let those things slip away.
Going to Sunset Forest was good too. That way, they would not run into Tang Hao and the others.
"I'll listen to Big Sister."
Pretending to be a child was really exhausting! That was Xu Xin's only thought right now.
"Little Xu Xin, aren't you afraid I'll sell you?" A Yin asked curiously.
Xu Xin shook his head. "No. I can't sense even the slightest malice from you, Big Sister. All I sense is kindness and gentleness."
"Pfft!"
"What does a little brat like you know about kindness and gentleness?"
A Yin patted Xu Xin on the head and chuckled.
"Big Sister, I've been wandering for several years. I'm very good at judging people."
Xu Xin spoke proudly.
A Yin: Judging people? But I'm not human.
"Pfft, such a little child, yet so full of himself!"
A Yin smiled brightly, her lovely face incomparably beautiful at that moment.
A few days later, the two arrived at Sunset Forest amid laughter and conversation.
Sunset Forest was vast, located a hundred li east of Heaven Dou City. It contained all kinds of soul beasts and was considered the second-largest soul beast forest, surpassed only by Star Dou Great Forest.
"Little Xu Xin, what kind of soul beast do you want?"
Beneath a large tree, A Yin asked softly.
"Big Sister A Yin, let's find a dark-type soul beast that's over four hundred years old."
Xu Xin answered without hesitation.
The Tara Mask, the Shadow Legion, Darkness Descends.
Of course he needed a darkness attribute.
"Hm? A darkness attribute? Little Xu Xin, your martial soul is a mask. Why do you need a darkness-type soul beast?"
A Yin did not understand. No matter how she looked at it, a mask had nothing to do with the darkness attribute.
"Big Sister A Yin, my mask is very special. It told me that only darkness-type ones are the best fit."
Xu Xin put on an innocent expression. The mask had told him everything; he knew nothing.
A Yin nodded. It really was a special mask.
"Alright, wait here for a moment."
As she spoke, A Yin began summoning her martial soul: the Blue Silver Emperor!
Blue-gold light began to radiate from A Yin's body. The Blue Silver Grass around them seemed to have received a summons, each blade becoming exceptionally lively.
Xu Xin stared at the Blue Silver Emperor. What dense life force.
Before long, A Yin looked at Xu Xin. "I found one, Little Xu Xin. Let's go."
