Tang Hao and Tang San's Miserable State in the Pigsty

Ye Ying sat by the window, sipping milk tea while quietly studying the system panel.

Although the system said points could be exchanged for items, he hadn't looked into it carefully yet.

[Points: Six]

[One Ordinary Modification: Ten Points]

[One Minor Restriction Reduction Modification: One Hundred Points]

[One Soul Mantra to Double Self-Strength: Ten Thousand Points]

[Unknown: Unknown Points]

[Arbitrary Modification: Ninety-Nine Billion Nine Hundred...]

Ye Ying stared at the last line, stunned.

"System, isn't the price for this Arbitrary Modification a bit too high?"

[Not high. No goal, no motivation.]

"Then what about Unknown? Why is it still marked Unknown?"

[The content hasn't been thought up yet. I'll decide when it's ready. Anyway, you don't have enough points.]

"Six!"

Three months passed in a flash.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day Tang Hao and Tang San were to leave the pigsty.

It was also the time to head to Notting Academy for school.

During this period, Old Jack had come to the pigsty to ask Tang San if she was willing to attend Notting Academy.

Tang Hao ultimately agreed, letting Tang San go.

Only by becoming a soul master could Tang San one day take revenge.

Old Jack had secured a Work-Study Student spot for Tang San, scraping it together from a few neighboring villages, since none of them had anyone capable of becoming a soul master.

Over these three months, Tang San had also reflected on why she had wanted to burn the village—had she lost her mind?

But now, being able to become a soul master, with a future chance to obtain a Soul Ring and possibly break through the Mysterious Heaven Skill, was all quite promising.

Old Jack put on his best clothes in advance, since they were heading into the city.

Then he called Ye Ying and Tang San to set off together for Notting Academy.

Walking along the road out of Holy Soul Village, Ye Ying glanced at his points.

He now had two hundred and seventy-nine.

Enough to exchange for two Minor Restriction Reduction Modification opportunities, plus the four the system had already rewarded him.

Over the past three months, aside from meditating and training, he used his three daily chances to occasionally mess with Tang San, adding a bit of fun to the monotonous life.

For example, when the father and daughter were lying on the ground resting, [Tang San just felt the urge to pee, so she squatted down beside Tang Hao and relieved herself.]

"Change 'beside' to 'face.'"

[Tang San just felt the urge to pee, so she squatted down on Tang Hao's face and relieved herself.]

Tang Hao was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt a stream of sweet water splash directly onto him.

He jolted awake.

Tang San had peed all over his face!

"Tang San!"

Tang Hao opened his mouth!

Or sometimes he'd mess with the Blue Silver Fox Liu Ruyan.

Though she was a spirit, she was different from ordinary spirits—

she could come out of Tang San's body on her own, unless Tang San knocked her out with a brick to temporarily lock her away.

When the Blue Silver Fox learned that the father and daughter had been locked in the pigsty, she felt as if the sky had collapsed.

How could she, the esteemed Liu Ruyan, ever end up in a place like this?

And wasn't this different from the original plot?

Wasn't Tang San supposed to use these three months to learn the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer?

Now they were locked in a pigsty for three months?

She had to find a way to modify it back.

[The Blue Silver Fox suddenly leaped with all her strength, jumping out of the filthy pigsty...]

"Change 'out' to 'in.'"

[The Blue Silver Fox suddenly leaped with all her strength, jumping into the filthy pigsty...]

The Blue Silver Fox had already gotten out, even cleared the fence, but then, out of nowhere, she twitched in midair, her legs performing an aerial Cloud Ladder out of nowhere, flipping her back into the pigsty—

right into the filthiest part, where the watery excrement lay.

"Ah!"

The Blue Silver Fox screamed, splattering the filth everywhere, including all over Tang San and Tang Hao.

"Tang San, control this damn fox of yours!"

Tang Hao couldn't help but curse.

As if every single day wasn't miserable enough, now it was even worse.

Tang San stepped forward, ready to knock her out, but then the Blue Silver Fox's head started shaking wildly, like a dog shaking off water, and the filth clinging to her kept flinging onto Tang San.

Covering him completely.

"Ah!"

The three of them and the fox walked along the road to Notting City.

A faint, lingering stench constantly wafted from Tang San and the Blue Silver Fox.

After soaking in that place for three months, one day of washing couldn't possibly clean it off.

The stench had seeped right into their skin.

Ye Ying couldn't help but keep a bit of distance from Tang San.

Suddenly, he heard the system's voice ring in his mind.

[Plot Modification successful. Tang San did not learn the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer. Reward: Disorder Splitting Wind Technique.]

"Disorder Splitting Wind Technique?"

Ye Ying instantly felt a surge of special memories flooding into his mind, along with muscle memory in his body.

The Disorder Splitting Wind Technique allowed him to perform any action, at any time, with the same stacking momentum as the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.

For a moment, Ye Ying couldn't help but let his thoughts wander a little.

He had done nothing at all and still received a reward for plot modification.

It seemed that the rule of gaining rewards through plot modification wasn't limited to changes he made through the system—

the Butterfly Effect could do it too.

They set out in the morning, and by the afternoon, the three of them finally entered Notting City.

Noting Junior Soul Master Academy was located in the west of Notting City.

They set out in the morning, and by the afternoon, the three of them finally entered Notting City.

Noting Junior Soul Master Academy was located in the west of Notting City.

Old Jack asked for directions from passersby a few times before finally leading Ye Ying and the others there.

From a distance, they could already see a tall archway, with two iron-barred gates below, dark and gloomy.

Through the iron bars, they could see a winding path leading deeper inside, flanked by tall trees on both sides.

A wide road led straight inward, and at the center of the archway were four large characters: "Notting Academy."

Blue Silver Fox muttered at this moment, "This Notting Academy really is magnificent."

Old Jack led Ye Ying and the fox up to the main gate, but was immediately stopped by the young gatekeeper on duty.

"What are you here for? Is this a place for country bumpkins like you?"

"And you're bringing a fox? Not a bad-looking fox, though."

Old Jack's clothes were considered decent in Holy Soul Village, but here in Notting City, he looked every bit the rustic, and the gatekeeper's gaze carried more than a hint of disdain.

Ye Ying remembered clearly that there was still a scene here featuring the master Yu Xiaogang.

Old Jack quickly explained to the young gatekeeper that these two were work-study students, and pulled out two certificates from Martial Soul Hall.

A flicker of surprise crossed the young gatekeeper's face, but his words were dripping with mockery.

"Two work-study students? Both with Innate Full Soul Power?"

"This certificate must be fake."

"A Blue Silver Fox and a Snowman? What kind of martial souls are those?"

"And they're from Holy Soul Village? More like Beggar Village."

"On top of that, they stink to high heaven. Disgusting."

"What did you say!"

Old Jack flared up in anger, and roared at the young gatekeeper. Holy Soul Village was his pride.
