Little San, Go Buy Yourself a Quilt and Sleep Alone

"Since you've admitted defeat, I'll let you go."

Li Yue released the Blue Silver Grass binding Xiao Wu. Naturally, there were no Blue Silver Grass seeds on the dorm floor; this Blue Silver Grass had been formed from his Soul Power and possessed the traits of ordinary Blue Silver Grass.

The Blue Silver Emperor martial spirit had already merged with Li Yue's Xuanxin Gong, so he could condense a Blue Silver Emperor simply by releasing Soul Power.

And by reclaiming his Soul Power, the power of his Xuanxin Gong grew stronger once again.

This was because when his Soul Power transformed into Blue Silver Grass and grew, it absorbed external energy. Compared to before, his Soul Power had naturally increased.

Other plant-type Soul Masters released their soul skills without knowing how to reclaim them. Wasn't that as laughable as Ding Chunqiu's Great Skill of Dissolving Power?

Still, he had to be careful when reclaiming it. He could not bring back any strange Soul Power.

Fortunately, Li Yue's Xuanxin Gong was an orthodox Daoist cultivation method, an unparalleled martial art capable of cultivating the Three Flowers Crown. Even if poisonous Soul Power was brought back, it could be neutralized.

"I actually lost to grass." Xiao Wu still seemed unable to recover from the shock.

She was a dignified Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who had taken human form. Not only had she lost to a child, but his martial spirit was even Blue Silver Grass.

Was the human world really this dangerous?

It was like a beginner encountering a max-level expert's alternate account the moment they left town.

Xiao Wu, as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, was technically also a max-level expert.

More accurately, it was like a max-level expert entering a beginner village on an alternate account, only to discover that even the village geese were so powerful that they could defeat her, making her immediately question life itself.

"Don't underestimate the potential of grass." Li Yue wagged a finger and smiled as he quoted the Master's famous words. "There are no useless martial spirits, only useless Soul Masters."

Those words worked well when Li Yue used them to show off, because although his martial spirit was the Blue Silver Emperor, it looked like the useless martial spirit Blue Silver Grass.

It was rather ironic when the Master said it. His martial spirit was unique, a one-of-a-kind summoned beast martial spirit rather than a possession type, and he truly was useless.

"Although your martial spirit is a rabbit and isn't very strong, if you develop it properly, you can still gain great power." Li Yue immediately put what he had learned into practice and began manipulating Xiao Wu.

Not long ago, Yu Xiaogang had used those very words to manipulate him.

Li Yue obviously did not fall for that, because his Blue Silver Emperor martial spirit was innately powerful. It could be called the innate supreme martial spirit of Douluo Continent.

Now, he gave those words to Xiao Wu instead.

"You, like Little San, have Innate Full Soul Power. Yet your martial spirit is also a useless one," Li Yue said.

"What? Third Sister has Innate Full Soul Power too?" The work-study students cried out in surprise. Innate Full Soul Power, something rarely seen in the past, had suddenly appeared twice.

Li Yue continued speaking to Xiao Wu. "But I won't look down on you. Since I defeated you, you're now my little sister. I'll protect you from now on, and I'll teach you how to become stronger. Now call me Brother Yue."

"Brother Yue." Xiao Wu had been talked into a daze by Li Yue and obediently called out to him.

"Ah." Li Yue answered with a delighted smile. "Since you've called me Brother Yue, I'll treat you as my little sister. You don't have a quilt yet, so let's sleep together."

The map of Yan Kingdom was truly short; Li Yue immediately exposed his true intentions.

However, Xiao Wu, as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, did not pay much attention to such things. Besides, she genuinely did not have a quilt.

Soul Beasts in human form also needed to absorb human aura, so Xiao Wu readily agreed.

"Sure, let's sleep together tonight," Xiao Wu said. She had been worrying about not having a quilt and had even considered stealing one.

But all the quilts here had already been used and were filthy. Only Li Yue's bed had a new quilt, and she could not beat Li Yue anyway.

Li Yue's suggestion could be said to have solved one of her problems.

Wang Sheng's eyes lit up as he looked at Li Yue with admiration. Brother Yue's method of picking up girls was amazing. He was already going to share a bed with a girl just like that.

The work-study students also looked at their new boss with worshipful eyes. For work-study students like them, making friends with female Soul Masters was practically impossible.

Unlike their boss, who had arrived with one girl and gained another not long afterward.

Li Yue looked at the bedding on his bed. One quilt could fit two people if they squeezed together. It could fit three, but there was no need.

He had originally wanted to deepen his bond with Tang San, but their relationship was clearly already deep enough. He might as well give this opportunity to Xiao Wu.

"Little San, take this money and buy yourself a quilt," Li Yue said, taking out a Gold Soul Coin from his bundle.

As the young master of a wealthy household, the money he carried was all Gold Soul Coins. They had a high denomination and were convenient to carry.

Li Yue was naturally not stingy toward Tang San and directly gave her the Gold Soul Coin.

Li Yue reminded her, "Remember, buy one quilt. You can spend whatever is left yourself."

Tang San accepted the Gold Soul Coin Li Yue gave her and felt as though she had truly become the other woman. When the rightful wife arrived, she could only step aside.

She knew it was an illusion. Senior Brother Li Yue had always treated her as a brother. Although she had become a girl in this life, Senior Brother Li Yue was still the same as before and had no other thoughts toward her.

Now that Xiao Wu might become her sister-in-law, she should be creating opportunities for Senior Brother Li Yue instead.

But why did her heart feel so empty, as though something were missing?

When Tang San walked out of the dormitory, she saw Yu Xiaogang outside, carrying another quilt toward her.

A set of bedding might be called one quilt, but it actually consisted of quite a lot of things, so Yu Xiaogang could only carry one set at a time.

Although his spatial Soul Tool belt had twenty-four separate one-cubic-meter spaces, they were all filled with items. There was obviously no need to sort them out just for one quilt.

Yu Xiaogang stopped before Tang San and handed her the bedding. "Tang San, this bedding is for you."

"Thank you, Teacher." Tang San hugged the quilt and bowed to Yu Xiaogang in thanks.

"No need to thank me. The academy provided this for you," Yu Xiaogang said truthfully. He had indeed taken these quilts from the academy's Academic Affairs Office for free.

The academy prepared uniforms for every student, but only students who had paid tuition received bedding. Thus, the academy had spare bedding in storage, and he had brought over two sets.

"Li Yue has already acknowledged me as his teacher," Yu Xiaogang said calmly.

He could tell that these two children followed Li Yue's lead. Now that he had accepted Li Yue as his disciple, would Tang San not be easy to win over as well?

"I see that you have good aptitude. Although your martial spirit is the useless martial spirit Fire Stick, perhaps it still has potential to be developed." Yu Xiaogang continued, "Would you be willing to take me as your teacher and become fellow disciples with Li Yue?"

"Fellow disciples..." Tang San murmured. Something in her heart seemed to have been untangled, as if she had suddenly attained enlightenment. Her entire body felt unblocked and at ease.

All the discomfort from before seemed to vanish like falling snow swept away by a gale.

That was right. She could become Senior Brother Li Yue's fellow disciple... sister once more.

Brothers were like limbs, while women were like clothes.

If she and Senior Brother Li Yue became fellow disciples again, then such a relationship was obviously more stable and secure than being boyfriend and girlfriend, or even husband and wife.

"I am willing to take you as my teacher," Tang San said devoutly.

It was not because of the man before her, but only because of Senior Brother Li Yue.

She did not know why Senior Brother Li Yue had agreed, but knowing that Li Yue could become her senior brother again was enough.

"Good. Now I have two disciples."

Seeing Tang San agree, Yu Xiaogang could not help revealing his delight, even though she had not bowed and performed the formal rite.

No matter how good his self-restraint was, he could not help feeling triumphant at this moment. One had Twin Martial Souls, while the other had Innate Full Soul Power. Who in the world could stop him now?

At that moment, the system's voice sounded in Li Yue's mind. "Detected that Yu Xiaogang used the host becoming his disciple to persuade Tang San to become his disciple as well. Yu Xiaogang has once again incurred great karma."

Li Yue was amazed by how quickly Yu Xiaogang took on disciples.

Good grief, Tang San had only gone out to buy a quilt, and Yu Xiaogang had already taken her as a disciple.

Still, Yu Xiaogang's karmic entanglement with him ran so deep that even Yu Xiaogang's life and death were already in his hands.

With such a debt, even if Li Yue settled their karma by making Yu Xiaogang die in this life, Yu Xiaogang would still have to keep repaying it in his next life.
