Truly Good Brothers

Zhang Lexuan, the chief disciple of Shrek Inner Court and its Senior Sister, had been adopted by Mu En, Beibei's Mystic Ancestor, from a young age. She and Beibei had grown up together as childhood sweethearts.

In the Original Work, because of Mu En, she liked Beibei. Unfortunately, Beibei only regarded her with the familial affection one would have for a mother or elder sister.

Later, unwilling to watch the Tang Sect decline, Mu En instructed Beibei to seek out Tang Ya. Thus, Beibei joined the Tang Sect when Tang Ya was at her most difficult point and took her as his master.

As the two spent day after day together, Beibei fell completely in love with the girl who was willing to give everything for the Tang Sect's rise.

His heart was wholly devoted to Tang Ya, and his love was unwavering.

This was a case of the heaven-sent girl utterly crushing the childhood sweetheart.

But Brother Beibei, rest assured. I, Huo Yuhao, will properly comfort Senior Sister in your place and make sure you have no worries behind you.

As for how he was supposed to get involved in the "I Am Not a Child Husband" Achievement Task?

He had some ideas, but not many.

In any case, the first step should be bringing him and Tang Ya together, right?

As long as he did not deliberately interfere, everything would naturally fall into place.

If he really brazenly inserted himself into their relationship, Huo Yuhao felt that would cause serious problems instead.

The Succubus Constitution was something he had to guard against.

Tang Ya was nothing much...

"So, Little Yuhao, have you taken a liking to that Soul Master named Tang Ya?"

Tian Meng's somewhat curious voice rang out in his mind.

Although he had not gotten any specific information about Shana from Huo Yuhao just now, he had caught news about Tang Ya amid the intense mental fluctuations.

His nearly million years had not been lived in vain—though he had spent much of that time sleeping. In particular, his scheming and struggles with many powerful soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest—his struggle to survive—had honed a rather remarkable wisdom in him—perhaps the most shocking display of wisdom ever.

Heh heh, I may look carefree on the surface, but I'm not stupid at all. I'm actually clever as hell.

As early as when Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had received Huo Yuhao's memories, he had realized that they were incomplete. Still, he had not pressed Yuhao about it.

Tian Meng knew perfectly well that once his origin had left his body, there was no turning back.

Now, man and silkworm were grasshoppers tied to the same rope. You know, he supported Huo Yuhao unconditionally.

As the host, the stronger Huo Yuhao became, the more at ease the silkworm would naturally be.

Moreover, what Huo Yuhao had shown so far had already given him immense confidence, especially that earlier idea regarding a combination Soul Skill.

Although he had no idea what a "Wisdom Path Gu Worm" was, he knew it was already enough to slaughter everything with ease!

Before Huo Yuhao had left the Spiritual Sea, he had even told Tian Meng not to fall asleep yet. Something big was coming later.

Otherwise, Tian Meng would already have eagerly gone back to lazing around and sleeping.

He just had not expected that this big matter would be related to romance.

Any silkworm with eyes could tell that the relationship between Tang Ya and Beibei was definitely not that of ordinary master and disciple. They were more like boyfriend and girlfriend.

At that moment, Tian Meng recalled his own entanglements with the Ice and Snow Emperors and immediately felt a trace of resonance.

Back then, it had been him who had advised from behind the scenes and offered up his loyalty!

He was fired up. Then let me make a move and display the strength of a love master.

I'll definitely get it done!

"Yuhao, if you've taken a liking to Tang Ya, I'll definitely help you win her over!"

"However, her Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul isn't particularly compatible with you. In my opinion, it would be better to find a Soul Master with a fire attribute."

Hearing Tian Meng talk to himself, Huo Yuhao's face darkened.

Who understood this? This silkworm was completely lovesick!

Was he the kind of person who casually meddled in other people's relationships?

No!

Besides, there were so many unattached beauties at Shrek Academy. Why bother? (Delete that sentence.)

"You'll find out soon enough, Tian Meng."

For the sake of harmony in their future relationship, Huo Yuhao also planned to manifest the Gu Worms later and explain things properly—fool him properly.

He was merely after her Achievement Task.

A Thousand-Year Soul Ring took quite a long time to absorb, so Beibei scattered some soul beast-repelling medicine he carried with him around the perimeter.

Their luck was fairly good. During Tang Ya's absorption process, only a few ten-year and hundred-year soul beasts appeared. They did not encounter any more thousand-year-level existences, so the ordeal passed without incident.

"Mm..." Letting out a long breath, Tang Ya slowly opened her eyes. A brilliant gleam flashed within her bright gaze, and her entire spirit and vitality had improved tremendously.

Her figure seemed to have grown a little more slender, her aura had become stronger, her skin had gained more luster, and her blood and energy had become even more vigorous.

In a Soul Master's cultivation, level thirty was an important threshold. If one could cross this hurdle and enter the Soul Elder realm, one would become a true Soul Master powerhouse, with a promising future and limitless prospects ahead.

Many Soul Masters with poorer talent could exhaust their entire lives without breaking through the level thirty bottleneck.

Just like Tang San's guide back then, Yu Xiaogang, whose martial soul had maliciously mutated into Luo Sanpao, leaving him unable to break through level thirty for the rest of his life.

It was only after he consumed the immortal herb Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, causing his martial soul to evolve, that he broke through that bottleneck.

Someone like Huo Yuhao, with merely level-one Innate Soul Power, would likely remain stuck there for life without some extraordinary opportunity.

But the fusion with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm alone was enough to help him defy heaven and change fate!

"Success."

Tang Ya excitedly sprang up from the ground. As she circulated her soul power, two yellow and one purple soul rings rapidly rose from beneath her feet.

The most eye-catching one was naturally the thousand-year Purple Soul Ring, its bright violet glow radiating a noble aura.

At that moment, the system prompt appeared right on cue.

Achievement Triggered!

Completed Tang Ya's "Revive the Tang Sect, Starting with Obtaining a Soul Ring" achievement. Reward obtained: Flower Bud Gu.

Flower Bud Gu: Two-Turn Gu Insect, used to store items.

Evaluation: An essential spatial ring for home and travel.

He looked at Tang Ya again.

Tang Ya

Relationship: Close Friend

Achievement Task: Awaiting refresh

He was used to it.

After all, during this soul beast hunt, he had played a pivotal role. He had definitely left a deep impression on Tang Ya, so it was reasonable for her favorability to reach the third level, right?

Alright, it actually wasn't reasonable at all.

This was a Close Friend—a Close Friend!

Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan were probably only Close Friends at most, weren't they?

Huo Yuhao guessed that even Beibei and Tang Ya probably had not yet reached the level of Soulmates.

It seemed that the Achievement System's favorability assessment was also one-sided.

This was only Tang Ya considering him a Close Friend on her own.

Tang Ya's behavior had nothing to do with him!

Beibei smiled. "Xiaoya, congratulations."

Tang Ya gave a cheer and suddenly threw herself into his arms, giving him a huge hug. "Beibei, thank you."

Beibei held her delicate body, the smile on his face gaining a touch more indulgence.

"Since I promised to help you realize your dream, I'll definitely do it."

Tang Ya leaned against Beibei's chest, but then accidentally caught sight of Huo Yuhao watching from the side. Remembering that someone else was still there, she quickly broke free from Beibei's embrace.

Tang Ya looked somewhat embarrassed and stiffly changed the subject. "We also have to thank Yuhao for stepping in. You looked really cool just now too!"

Huo Yuhao teased, "You're welcome, Senior Sister Xiaoya. But the two of you really are quite a good match."

Tang Ya's cheeks immediately flushed crimson as she stammered, "Don't get any wild ideas. Beibei and I are just purely teacher and student..."

Beibei coughed and said, "Alright. Since you've finished absorbing your soul ring, let's leave quickly. The Star Dou Great Forest isn't a place to linger for long."

Tang Ya hurriedly nodded. "Let's go."

Senior Beibei, I see you're saying one thing while feeling another.

Achievement Triggered!

Completed Beibei's "I Am Not a Child Husband" achievement. Reward obtained: Little Light Gu.

Little Light Gu: One-Turn Gu Insect. When used to assist Moonlight Gu, it can make Moon Blade attacks stronger.

Evaluation: Where is my Moonlight Gu?

As expected of my good brother—getting it without any effort.

Beibei

Relationship: Friend

Achievement Task: Awaiting refresh

Sure enough, making use of the Original Work's plot was the best way to farm favorability. His choice had absolutely been correct!

Now, it was time to make a trip to the Far North!
