Er Wa: "Soul Bones Are Worthless. My Family Has Plenty."

Er Wa: "Soul Bones Are Worthless... My Family Has Plenty."

While everyone was still in shock!

Feng Xiaotian looked at the Soul Bone in his hand, and his scalp went numb.

He knew what a Soul Bone meant to Spirit Masters. It was an incomparably precious and powerful treasure that could grant a Spirit Master an additional spirit skill—a tremendous boost.

Feng Xiaotian had yet to obtain a single Soul Bone, so naturally, he was extremely tempted by this legendary treasure.

But when he heard Shi Yi say that he wanted to give him this Soul Bone, he hesitated.

He thought, How could this child give away a Soul Bone so easily? Is it just because I gave him some water? That doesn't seem likely! Something as precious as a Soul Bone can't possibly be given away so casually.

Feng Xiaotian felt that something was off, but it was not appropriate to question Shi Yi directly.

So he hurriedly pushed Shi Yi's hand back, trying to make him put the Soul Bone back into his bundle. Then he whispered into his ear, "Little one, this isn't something you can casually take out. If someone sees it, you'll be in danger."

He added, "Besides, this Soul Bone is far too valuable. I really can't accept it. Hurry and put it away."

The crowd looked at Feng Xiaotian as though he were an idiot, practically saying... You don't want the Soul Bone, right? Then give it to me. I want it.

"This bone really isn't useful to me..."

But Shi Yi did not listen to Feng Xiaotian. Instead, he stubbornly tried to take out the Soul Bone again.

These Soul Bones had been left behind by the soul beasts that had attacked Shi Bantian that day. Shi Bantian had naturally explained the importance of Soul Bones to them as well. A Spirit Master could fuse with at most six Soul Bones.

But... they had already tested it. Everyone in their family seemed unable to fuse with Soul Bones, as though their bodies rejected them.

Moreover, Shi Yi had a feeling that his body might undergo a transformation once he reached Nine Rings...

"You child..."

Seeing how insistent he was, Feng Xiaotian worried that he would draw other people's attention and promptly pulled Shi Yi into his carriage.

Just as the two were about to say something, a tall girl with a well-proportioned figure entered. Her dark-red wavy hair fell all the way to her waist. When she saw Shi Yi, she asked in confusion:

"Huh? Why is there such a cute little child here?" As she spoke, she reached out with both hands to cup Shi Yi's face.

But just as she approached Shi Yi, she caught sight of the glowing bone from the corner of her eye. Huo Wu was stunned.

"Ah... Heavens... Is that a Soul Bone? Brother Feng, you actually have a Soul Bone?"

When Feng Xiaotian saw Huo Wu enter, a smile appeared on his face. He gazed dotingly at the open-mouthed Huo Wu and nodded. "That's right, it's a Soul Bone, but it isn't mine."

"Big Sister, are you Big Brother's good friend?" Seeing Feng Xiaotian grinning like an idiot, Shi Yi could not help snickering.

Feng Xiaotian hurriedly replied, "Yes, she's Big Brother's good friend, and a very, very good one at that."

Huo Wu ignored Feng Xiaotian and gently asked Shi Yi, "Where did you get such a rare Soul Bone?"

"Big Sister means this bone?" Shi Yi pointed to the box in his hand, then added, "There are more of these at home. I don't know what they are either. Father probably picked them up."

Shi Yi told a well-intentioned lie. The bone needed an origin, but he could not say that he and his brothers had killed the soul beasts themselves.

The two of them were dumbfounded. What kind of statement was that? Were Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones so common? There were more at home, and he said they had been picked up??

Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in the other's eyes. They could not imagine that a child possessed such a precious treasure—and more than one! It was simply unheard of and unseen.

Huo Wu took a deep breath, trying hard to calm herself. She knew that the little boy before her might not understand just how precious and rare the Soul Bone in his hand was. So...

She patiently explained, "Little Brother, the Soul Bone in your hand is an incredibly precious treasure. It can give people powerful strength and abilities. But treasures like this aren't something you can just pick up."

Shi Yi blinked and nodded as though he understood.

After thinking for a moment, he handed the Soul Bone to Huo Wu and said, "Since this thing is so powerful, then Big Sister and Big Brother can have it. There are lots more at my home anyway."

Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian were shocked by Shi Yi's words once again. They had not expected Shi Yi to give away such a precious Soul Bone so easily. Huo Wu hurriedly waved her hands. "No, no. This is too valuable. We really can't take it."

Shi Yi looked at Huo Wu in confusion, unable to understand why she did not want it.

He felt that since this thing was useful to them, they should keep it properly. Feng Xiaotian spoke up, "That's right, Little Brother. We can't accept such a precious gift. You should keep it safely."

But Shi Yi still stuffed the Soul Bone into Feng Xiaotian's hand and looked at him with resolute eyes. "No, Big Brother gave me water, so I have to repay Big Brother. Otherwise, Big Brother must think my gift isn't good enough."

As he spoke, he was about to pull out other things. Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu stared in shock at the items Shi Yi took out—things they had never even heard of.

Thousand-Year Spirit Fruits, ginseng, Immortal Gourds, Immortal Herbs...

Shi Yi and the turtle had picked all of these up along the road. Shi Yi's Double Pupils possessed a powerful ability to appraise treasures, so finding precious things was naturally no problem for him.

Feng Xiaotian and Huo Wu could not help looking at each other.

Ah, this... was too exaggerated. Just which faction had this young master run away from? He even carried so many treasures with him.

That was right—they still believed that Shi Yi had brought these things from home.

"If that won't work, we can trade... I'm really, really hungry right now. Give me something tasty to eat, and I'll give you this Soul Bone."

Shi Yi proposed.

Huo Wu and Feng Xiaotian exchanged a glance, then smiled bitterly and shook their heads. This child... could he really come up with such a flimsy excuse?

Huo Wu gently patted Shi Yi's head and comforted him. "How about this, Little Brother? If you ever need help in the future, just come find us."

Then Huo Wu took out much of the food she had brought, along with specialty dishes from her hometown. Feng Xiaotian did the same.

In the end, Feng Xiaotian accepted the Soul Bone, but he did not intend to use it directly... A gift this precious could not be accepted without cause.

He planned to hold it for Shi Yi for the time being. If Shi Yi's family came looking for him, Feng Xiaotian would return it to them directly. He did not want to take advantage of a child.

Shi Yi raised his head, revealing a brilliant smile as he nodded vigorously. He thought the big brother and big sister before him were very nice. He liked them.

He could feel their sincerity.

As for those people from the Shrek Seven Devils just now... Shi Yi was somewhat speechless. He did not like that group; they felt especially hypocritical.
