Chapter Fifteen: Heading to Suotuo City

Yun Qi looked at the serious Little Cat before him and rubbed his forehead with one hand, feeling a headache coming on.

"I'm no senior. My name is Yun Qi, and I'm only twelve! The Girl beside me is Xiao Wu, and she's currently my younger sister! You can just call us by our names. Of course, you can call me Older Brother too!"

Little Cat Zhu Zhuqing was clearly stunned.

"Senior, my name is Zhu Zhuqing. Also, please don't joke around or tease me!"

Xiao Wu also laughed from the side.

"It's true. We're both only twelve!"

Yun Qi looked at Xiao Wu in surprise, then immediately withdrew his gaze. He didn't want to get pinched again!

Little Cat's Brain had already short-circuited. Even her cold, despairing expression from moments ago had transformed into one with her mouth wide enough to fit a baguette. She remained dazed for a long while.

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing had been motionless for quite some time, Xiao Wu waved her hand in front of Zhu Zhuqing.

"Wake up!"

After coming to her senses, Little Cat looked at Yun Qi and stammered.

"You're a twelve-year-old Soul Ancestor, and your Spirit Rings are even configured like that?"

Faced with Little Cat's shock, Yun Qi helplessly nodded. He was already used to it. Back at Nuomi Academy, the Teacher had reacted the same way. Even the teachers in practical combat classes had not been his match in a single move! What could Yun Qi do? He had already been holding back.

After receiving confirmation, Little Cat's eyes flashed with a hint of light, but they soon dimmed again.

That was right. She already had no idea how to repay the life-saving favor from the extraordinary man before her. How could she now hope that Yun Qi would teach her his secret technique?

Yun Qi also noticed the light in Little Cat's eyes, but he said nothing. Feeling sorry for her was one thing, but before their relationship was confirmed, teaching her would make him look like a simp and might also make her think he had ulterior motives! He merely smiled faintly.

Xiao Wu also sensed that something was slightly off about the atmosphere, so she hurriedly changed the subject.

"Zhu Qing, we're heading to Suotuo City too. Why don't we travel together?"

Little Cat's Brain was still somewhat muddled. Too many things had happened in such a short time, even changing her understanding of Spirit Masters! She nodded instinctively, then suddenly remembered something and looked at Xiao Wu as she asked weakly,

"Xiao Wu, you're not also a Soul Ancestor now, are you?"

Xiao Wu shook her head sadly.

"I'm not that Pervert. He cultivated faster with Innate Level Seven Soul Power than I did with Innate Full Soul Power! I'm still only a thirty-seventh-level Soul Elder!"

Little Cat's final comfort vanished. Her CPU exploded, and her Brain crashed completely!

"Still only?"

Xiao Wu answered innocently.

"The reason I was able to cultivate so quickly was thanks to Older Brother. He taught me some things, and then he took me along to compete in the rat race!"

Clearly, Xiao Wu had also learned many modern terms from Yun Qi.

Little Cat, however, had already gone numb. One blow after another had made her shut her heart to love. For now, she did not want to say another word!

Yun Qi also made the decision at the right moment.

"Zhu Qing, travel with us. If someone comes after you again, at least we can look out for each other. Besides, we want to see what kind of person your Fiancé is—someone worth searching for despite the danger."

Xiao Wu also nodded curiously.

"Zhu Qing, let's go together! We're going there to study too!"

Seeing how enthusiastic the two of them were, Zhu Zhuqing could not help feeling moved. She nodded.

"Thank you!"

Suotuo City was located in the center of the most fertile Lima Plain in the Balak Kingdom. It was known as the Balak Granary and was also the economic lifeline of the entire Balak Kingdom.

Suotuo City was a major city. The Spirit Hall inside the city was built on an enormous scale, while crisscrossing streets connected to buildings leading to all directions.

It had just passed noon, and the sun had reached the hottest point of the day. Three young people—one man and two women—arrived at the gates of Suotuo City. They chatted as they passed the Guard's inspection and entered the city.

Xiao Wu moved closer to Yun Qi, grabbed his sleeve, and wiped the sweat from her forehead with it. She complained,

"We finally made it. I don't know why that Damn Master recommended that you come here, and you actually came! Haven't you always hated Yu Xiaogang?"

Yun Qi smiled but did not answer. If I didn't come, how would I become stronger? If I didn't come, how would I trample scum? Only I'm allowed to be scum—not other people!

Hearing the name Master, Zhu Zhuqing regained some of the gossip a Girl ought to have.

"Is it the one who exposed himself first, whose Martial Soul theories came from Spirit Hall, then helped his disciple obtain Spirit Rings, and was finally... by a group of He Yuan?"

As Zhu Zhuqing spoke, she became too embarrassed to continue. After all, He Yuan, Gale Wolf, and Wolf Bandit were all famous existences in the Spirit Master world. Once someone fell into their hands, they did not care whether the person was male or female.

Xiao Wu simply nodded.

"That's right! It's that Yu Xiaogang. I didn't expect his fame to have spread all the way to the Star Luo Empire!"

"Exactly. I heard there are over a hundred Spirit Beasts throughout the He Yuan Territory, yet Yu Xiaogang and the others actually stayed there for two hours! In a certain sense, that's quite impressive too!"

Seeing that they seemed ready to continue chatting, Yun Qi cut them off.

"All right, Xiao Wu. Let's get something to eat first, then find a hotel. We've been in the wilderness for so long, so let's wash up first!"

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing also lowered their heads and sniffed their wrists. There was no noticeable smell, but the psychological discomfort still made them agree without objection. After all, compared to men, women found it harder to endure feeling sticky all over!

Suotuo City was much larger than Nuò'é City and was naturally bustling as well. Guards and bustling crowds could be seen everywhere.

The three of them first had a hearty meal at a restaurant. When it was time to pay, they asked the Waiter,

"Waiter, the three of us just arrived in Suotuo City today. Could you tell us where there's a hotel?"

The Waiter looked at the two beautiful Girls standing behind Yun Qi and instantly imagined an entire story. He then answered with a smile,

"Sir, once you leave, head east along the road and you'll see one!"

Yun Qi casually gave him a small tip before leading the Two Women outside. The Waiter's eyes filled with envy. Ah, a man's dream!

Before long, Yun Qi spotted a rather distinctive hotel.

The three-story building before them was decorated entirely in Rose Red. The whole hotel's architectural style resembled a gigantic Rose Flower, instantly drawing the attention of the Two Girls!

Xiao Wu looked at the hotel before her and immediately said to Yun Qi,

"Brother! Let's stay here!"

Yun Qi nodded. He did not really mind either way. Then he turned to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Zhu Qing, what about you? Are you staying here, or are you going to find your Fiancé first?"

Zhu Zhuqing had just been about to answer when she heard a familiar voice beside her. She turned to look.

A man and Two Women were flirting constantly, completely unconcerned with the gazes of passersby. The man stood around six feet tall, with Blonde Hair spilling over his back and a pair of sinister eyes. His appearance was only slightly inferior to Yun Qi's. What drew the most attention was the pair of Twin Sisters holding onto him. They were dressed in flashy clothes and looked around seventeen or eighteen years old, with graceful figures.
