Fly Martial Soul

"It was no big deal. Seeing through appearances to the truth was what I intended to practice. At its core, it was just an incantation for using a soul skill. Besides, I didn't mind. Your roasted sausage was very effective." Shen Ranxi blinked.

"But..."

Oscar hurriedly asked, "But what?"

"But it would be even better if you could provide me with free sausages, hehe." Shen Ranxi gave a crafty smile.

"Of course, of course I can." Oscar was overjoyed. After hearing Little Xi's words, he felt much better. Whenever he thought of how the Academy teachers reacted upon hearing his soul incantation, he wanted to cry. It was far too discouraging; they had laughed for ages.

"Brother Little Ao, I want another one. My tummy is still growling." Little Bell rubbed her little belly in distress.

"Haha, we can't let our Little Bell go hungry."

The three of them soon arrived in Suotuo City.

"Little Ao, what do you want to buy?" Shen Ranxi wanted to visit Sister Mosna, where she had bought desserts last time, first.

"I'll just follow you two for now. I've never been here either." Oscar scratched his head sheepishly.

"Alright, then let's go somewhere together first before we go shopping." Shen Ranxi led the two toward their destination.

"Sister Sina, I'm back." Shen Ranxi pushed open the door and greeted Mosna, who was sitting in a chair reading.

"It's you two little ones. So, did you get into an Academy? If not, I know someone who's the dean of a Junior Soul Master Academy. I can introduce you."

Oscar, who had followed them in, also greeted her. "Hello, beautiful sister."

Seeing that the little boy's eyes held only pure admiration, the corners of her lips curled up. "Oh my, what a sweet mouth."

She went inside and made three cups of sweet tea for the three little ones.

"Thank you, Sister!" the three said in unison.

"You're welcome." Her skirt rippled like waves carrying a fragrant wind as she slowly sat down in her chair.

"Sister Mosna, I came to thank you this time." Mosna had never expected anything in return for her casual kindness, but Shen Ranxi's character made her admire the girl.

"I found this in the Star Dou Great Forest and cultivated it myself afterward. I hope you like it."

She took the item from her Soul Tool and placed it on the table.

It was a flower resembling a rose, but larger. Its outermost petals shifted from blue to white, transitioning toward yellow and pink in the middle, while the innermost petals were warm orange. Under the sunlight, it reflected rainbow hues.

It exuded a mysterious, delicate fragrance that drew in the hearts and minds of anyone who looked at it.

Mosna stood up and quickly approached to inspect it, marveling, "It's so beautiful. So incredible. I traveled across the continent in my youth, yet I've never seen a flower like this..."

It seemed Sister Mosna was no ordinary person either... Shen Ranxi thought.

Mosna turned around, her eyes still full of affection for the flower. "Does it have a name?"

Shen Ranxi said, "It's called Mandala Orchid Galos."

"What a beautiful name. It suits it."

Mosna said, "But I can't accept it. What I provided you is far less valuable than this flower."

Though she liked it, she still refused.

Shen Ranxi said, "Sister Sina, please accept it. This flower was born for you. It only has value in the eyes of someone who loves flowers; to someone who doesn't, it's worthless. Your fondness is its meaning."

"I'll take good care of it. Thank you, Little Xi." She bent down and gently hugged Shen Ranxi.

Before they left, Mosna packed a large bag of pastries and candies for her. "Come keep me company whenever you have time."

Next, Shen Ranxi took Oscar to the Martial Soul Hall Branch in Suotuo City to have their Soul Power assessed and registered.

"Hello, I'm here to register."

"Follow me."

The three followed the guard ahead of them to an office door, where they were handed over to an elderly grandmother.

"I'm Wang Xuan, steward of the Suotuo City Martial Soul Hall Branch. Come with me."

Wang Xuan said, "Children, who will go first?"

Shen Ranxi stepped forward and smiled slightly. "Grandmother Wang, it'll just be me." Teacher didn't plan to have Oscar register with Spirit Hall. His talent was also terrifying.

As for Little Stream, as long as she wasn't registered as having Twin Martial Souls, it would be fine.

After she displayed her Martial Soul, she said, "Soul Power Level fifteen."

Wang Xuan said, "You may collect a subsidy every month with your Soul Master Badge: one gold soul coin per month. Would you be willing to join Spirit Hall? You would certainly receive excellent training."

"No, thank you, Grandmother Wang. I already have a teacher." Wang Xuan could only give up regretfully.

After leaving Spirit Hall, Shen Ranxi planned to eat with Oscar first, then go shopping.

Sitting in a restaurant, she handed the menu to Little Bell so she could order first. Oscar also ordered two dishes, curious about the foods he had never tried.

The dishes were served quickly, and the three ate without even lifting their heads.

Then a commotion came from behind them.

"Little beauty, come with me. I'll take you to eat and drink well." A greasy-faced young man held a fan, clearly trying to show off.

"No... no, I want to go home." The pretty Girl stared at him with a face full of terror.

With one hand, he pinched her chin and deliberately leaned toward her neck in a suave manner. He took a deep breath and sighed, "You smell so good~"

Upon hearing that, Shen Ranxi clenched her fists. She truly couldn't endure it anymore.

"Oscar, keep an eye on Little Bell!"

She slapped the table and stood, turning around. "Hey, your stench is choking me!"

His intoxicated expression was interrupted. Straightening up, he roared impatiently, "Which blind idiot dares disturb my good time? Get out here!"

The moment he saw Shen Ranxi's face, his expression immediately changed. Fanning himself, he put on what he thought was a handsome smile. "Little beauty, you're even prettier than her. Has Brother's handsomeness moved you? Do you want to replace her and follow Brother?"

He even confidently threw Shen Ranxi a flirtatious glance.

Shen Ranxi was so disgusted she nearly threw up the meal she had just eaten. "Damn it, you're ugly and still come out here to plague girls. A toad chasing a frog—ugly but full of tricks. Even if you don't bite people, you still disgust them!"

"Hahaha!" The restaurant burst into laughter.

The man glared furiously around him. "Who? Who dares laugh?!"

"Fine, you little bitch. You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! I'll teach you a lesson, then lock you up and let you see how formidable I am." Cruelty and smugness flashed through his eyes.

His entire body trembled as he revealed his Martial Soul, laughing arrogantly. "Come out, Desire Fly." One white and one yellow soul ring circled all around him.

Shen Ranxi held back her laughter. A fly—it was actually a fly.

Oscar slapped the table and burst into laughter. "It really suits you, that Martial Soul!"

Shen Ranxi sneered, showing no fear.

The man said unhappily, "Brat, I'll make you scream in terror beneath me. It'll surely sound wonderful!"

Shen Ranxi no longer wanted to waste words on him. She summoned the Golden Cudgel, kicked off the ground, and charged toward him at incredible speed.

Perfect. I can use him to test the results of my training lately.

"Come on, First Soul Skill, Drifting Desire Immor—" Before he could finish the final word, Shen Ranxi's staff had already struck him in the stomach.

Like a bolt of lightning, he was sent flying into the alley across from them.

Shen Ranxi was short on money right now. She couldn't afford to damage anything and have no money to compensate for it.

Oscar hurriedly took Little Bell over, thinking he might be able to offer some help.

Of course, he hid nearby first to observe.
