Leaving Star Dou, Arriving in Notting

"Ah, ah, ah! Let go, let go!" Su Yu immediately shouted.

It did not hurt at all when she tugged him like that, but he still yelled anyway.

Their mother smiled. "All right, all right, you two stop fooling around. Time to eat."

Xiao Wu let go and said haughtily, "Dead Su Yu, I'll let you off this time!"

Su Yu rubbed his ear. "Call me big brother!"

"I won't, I won't, I just won't. Bleh, bleh, bleh." After making a face, Xiao Wu sat down and began eating.

Su Yu pointed at Xiao Wu in anger, but eating was more important, so he immediately sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.

Before long, Su Yu and Xiao Wu were already six years old. One day, their mother called them over. The three sat together as she looked at Su Yu and Xiao Wu with a smile. "Xiao Yu, I plan to send you and Xiao Wu to the human world."

Xiao Wu immediately protested, "Mom, I don't want to go."

Su Yu hesitated for a moment, and his mother saw it all. Fathers knew their sons best, but mothers also knew what their children were thinking. She slowly said, "Xiao Wu, be good. Go to the human world with your brother and have a look around."

Xiao Wu hugged her mother's arm tightly and nodded reluctantly.

Their mother smiled, then looked at Su Yu. "Xiao Yu, once you reach the human world, find a place to awaken your Martial Soul. And protect your little sister."

Su Yu stood up and patted his chest. "Don't worry, Mom. I'm the only one allowed to bully Xiao Wu. If anyone else dares to bully her, I'll beat their teeth all over the ground!"

Xiao Wu snorted angrily. "Hmph! No one else would bully me. Only Dead Su Yu bullies me!"

Su Yu grinned. "How is that bullying? I'm just teasing you."

Xiao Wu glared at Su Yu. "That is bullying!"

Their mother smiled at the two of them. "All right, all right. Go pack your things. You'll leave tomorrow."

Xiao Wu suddenly threw herself into her mother's arms. "Mom, I don't want to leave you."

Their mother stroked Xiao Wu's little head. "Silly girl, it's not as if you won't come back. Just come visit me during your holidays."

"Mhm, mhm. Don't worry, Mom. Xiao Wu will definitely come back to see you."

The next day

Their mother escorted them to the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, but went no farther. Xiao Wu waved to her mother. "Mom, we'll be going now."

Their mother nodded. "Go on."

Su Yu and Xiao Wu slowly left the Star Dou Great Forest, while their mother turned and went back.

After arriving outside the Star Dou Great Forest, Su Yu shouted, "Erha, come out!" Then he released Erha from his Divine Core.

Erha immediately ran to Su Yu's feet and licked his pants. Xiao Wu looked at Erha in confusion. "Su Yu, where did you get this dog?"

"Found him. His name is Erha, and from now on, he's my mount!" Su Yu sat directly on Erha's back and spoke proudly.

Xiao Wu curled her lips speechlessly. "Everyone else's mounts are mighty and imposing. Who rides a dog like you do?"

Su Yu patted Erha. "Ha Ge, this little girl is looking down on you. Come on, transform and show her!"

Erha nodded in agreement, then let out a long howl toward the sky. "Awoo~"

In an instant, Erha slowly grew larger and looked down at Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu angrily kicked Erha's foot, and Erha instantly broke character. He jumped up in fright, tripped over his own feet, and crashed hard onto the ground.

Su Yu immediately jumped down and covered his face, while Xiao Wu burst into laughter. "Hahahaha! What a stupid big dog."

Erha quickly climbed back up and returned to his original size. Su Yu climbed onto his back and looked at Xiao Wu. "Get on."

Xiao Wu unceremoniously sat behind Su Yu, but even as she got on, she said, "You begged me to ride, okay? It's not that I wanted to."

"Fine, fine, I begged you. All right, let's head to Notting City now," Su Yu said.

Xiao Wu asked in confusion, "Notting City? Where's that? Su Yu, how do you know the names of cities in the human world?"

Su Yu said helplessly, "Why do you have so much to say? Even if I told you where it is, you wouldn't know. Just follow me." As he spoke, Su Yu patted Erha. "Listen carefully to my commands this time. If I tell you to run forward, run forward. If I tell you to turn, turn. Got it?"

"Awoo~" Erha barked, as if saying he understood.

Su Yu nodded. "All right, then let's get moving. Target: Notting City. Erha, charge!"

"Awoo~" Erha howled and began sprinting wildly.

After countless hardships, the two people and one dog finally arrived at Notting City. After Xiao Wu got down, she looked at Su Yu. "Su Yu, I swear I'll never ride your dog again for the rest of my life."

Su Yu gave a bitter smile. "What's the big deal? Erha just can't tell left from right or front from back!"

Xiao Wu stared at Su Yu speechlessly. "...Where are we going now?"

After putting Erha back into his Divine Core, Su Yu said, "We'll go straight to enroll at Notting City's junior Soul Master Academy."

Xiao Wu froze. "Aren't you going to awaken your Martial Soul first?"

Su Yu said disdainfully, "Why make it so troublesome? I can just condense one later."

Xiao Wu was completely dumbfounded. Could a Martial Soul be condensed directly? Why had she never heard of that?

Su Yu pulled Xiao Wu toward Notting City. As Xiao Wu looked at the bustling streets around them and the strange things on the stalls, she turned her pitiful sparkling eyes toward Su Yu. "Su Yu, I want that."

Su Yu smiled helplessly and used the Reality Stone to create a large bag of Gold Soul Coins, then handed it to Xiao Wu. "You little girl, here."

After happily taking the Gold Soul Coins, Xiao Wu entered a frenzied shopping spree. Su Yu followed behind her, wanting to die. He had never had a girlfriend in his previous life, so he had not known how terrifying women could be when shopping. Now he knew. Xiao Wu was only six and already this terrifying. When she grew up, would she not buy the entire street? ...Thinking of this, Su Yu shuddered.

The entire morning passed. Su Yu had no idea what Xiao Wu had bought, but everything ended up piled inside his Divine Core. By noon, Xiao Wu started complaining that she was hungry, so the two found a restaurant and finished lunch.

Su Yu and Xiao Wu returned to the street. Seeing Xiao Wu's glittering eyes, Su Yu immediately said, "My little ancestor, it's time for us to enroll."
