Soul Hunting I

Huo Yu'er's family was part of the first generation of nobility, not one that had been passed down through the ages. More than a decade ago, they had earned this territory and title through their merits in the war against the Star Luo Empire.

The strongest member of the family was Huo Yu'er's grandmother, a peak Soul Saint. She held the rank of countess, which placed her neither high nor low within the Heaven Dou Empire. If she were sent to one of its subordinate kingdoms or duchies, her authority and status could even rival that of a marquis. Starting from nothing, this was already quite an achievement.

Perhaps because she was first-generation nobility, Huo Rui did not put on much of an air. Nor did she look down on Ye Wen for his commoner background. The two of them got along quite well.

"Grandma Huo, I came back with Yu'er this time because I wanted to ask you, or another elder, to help me hunt my First Soul Ring," Ye Wen said somewhat bashfully.

It could not be helped. Although he was already quite used to getting adults involved, the ever-proud Ye Wen was living off someone else for the first time in his life—and he was doing it right in front of their grandmother, no less. It was a little hard to get used to.

Yet Huo Rui did not find Ye Wen's request troublesome in the slightest. Instead, her eyes lit up.

After all, from what she had learned through their conversation, this child before her was a Soul Master from a commoner background. He had only studied at a Soul Master academy for a year, yet he had already reached Level Ten. Though his talent could not compare to her granddaughter's, it was already exceptionally impressive.
