After looking at the three white Soul Tools, the corner of Su Yun's eye twitched nonstop.
Bastard!
So this was the system's true drop rate!
If he got sucked into the lottery, he'd only end up with more and more junk like this!
Su Yun steeled his resolve once again.
But then again.
These things weren't much use in a fight, but they were pretty handy for everyday life.
At once, Su Yun abruptly stopped.
Seeing that Su Yun hadn't kept up, Tang San stopped too and turned his head, puzzled.
"Xiao Yun? Why did you stop?
Did you forget to bring something?"
"I did forget!
But it's not that I forgot to bring it. I just didn't remember I had this thing."
As he spoke, Su Yun waved his hand, and a white Little Sheep appeared on the ground.
?????
Staring at the suddenly appeared metal lump, finely crafted and clearly something only a noble could own, Tang San's eyes flashed with envy. He pointed at the Little Sheep and asked,
"Yun? What's that?"
"This is called a Little Sheep. It's a functional Soul Tool, used for getting around."
As he spoke, Su Yun steadied the handlebars and swung his legs over the Little Sheep. Since he was only six, he wasn't tall enough; even standing on tiptoe, he couldn't reach the seat.
"No time to explain. Get on!"
Tang San: ...
Though his head was full of questions, he trusted Su Yun, so he carefully leaped up and sat on the back seat.
Once Tang San was seated, Su Yun said excitedly,
"Hold on tight! We're setting off!"
He twisted the throttle, and Soul Power surged from Su Yun into the Little Sheep.
The next instant, to Tang San's astonishment, the metal lump beneath him actually started moving—and it wasn't slow, either!
Incredible!
Simply incredible!
Tang San kept examining the Little Sheep, as if he couldn't understand what sort of mechanism lay beneath its metal shell that let it move with just a little Soul Power.
And then there was the fact that the pressure on Tang San was growing greater and greater.
Su Yun's identity was becoming more and more mysterious. What kind of background did he have to possess so many incredible things?
Su Yun naturally had no idea what Tang San was thinking.
After getting his hands on the Little Sheep again after so long, Su Yun was incredibly excited.
Seventy kilometers per hour. What a rush.
But after only a few minutes of riding, Su Yun felt like something was missing.
"Oh, right!"
Su Yun suddenly spoke, let go of the Little Sheep's left handlebar, then flipped his hand.
A music box carved from silver crystal appeared in his hand. It was the [Execution Performer] he'd just drawn.
Su Yun casually handed it to Tang San.
"Here, hold this, then feed it Soul Power."
Seeing Su Yun take out yet another new thing, Tang San was puzzled, but still did as he said.
As the Mysterious Heaven Skill slowly flowed into the [Execution Performer], a rousing song rang out the next instant.
"My heart is racing; love burns like a fire.
You're smiling, and I'm the one gone crazy..."
Tang San shuddered all over and nearly dropped the [Execution Performer] in his hand.
Fortunately, relying on the hidden-weapon techniques from both his lives, he managed to catch it. Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Su Yun laugh heartlessly. "Hahahahaha..."
His laughter was like the sound of wind chimes, very pleasant to the ear.
Tang San could only shake his head helplessly. He knew Su Yun was teasing him, but what could he do?
His little sister—he could only spoil her.
"You... you're always teasing me.
What if something this precious gets broken?"
"If it breaks, it breaks," Su Yun said indifferently.
"Besides, it's a Soul Tool. It's not that fragile."
Those words stirred Tang San's heart once again.

With the Little Sheep making its way at full speed, the journey that would've taken half a day took only an hour and a half. Before long, they could just make out the walls of Nuoding City.
To avoid attracting too much attention, Su Yun stored the Little Sheep in his system inventory.
As soon as they entered the city, Tang San looked this way and that. It was the first time he'd been inside a city in this life.
As for Su Yun, after glancing around, he wasn't particularly interested. He asked someone for directions, then the two of them headed for the market in the north of the city.
First they bought a large leather waterskin, specially meant for carrying drinking water, then some food that would keep well: dried beef, flatbread, oats...
By the time they were done, they'd gathered a huge bundle. Su Yun took it all to a secluded corner and stored everything in the Space Ball.
Tang San couldn't help envying the convenience of having a Soul Tool once again.
Then, after spending five Silver Soul Coins, the two of them successfully rented a horse-drawn carriage and set off for the nearest Soul Beast Forest.
Inside the carriage.
"Hmm?
What's this? The taste is strange, but it's really good!"
Tang San smacked his lips and licked them, seeming to savor the taste.
"This is National Cellar Iced Black Tea!"
Su Yun lifted a stemmed glass and took a sip, looking very elegant.
At that, Tang San's heart gave a little jolt.
Though he didn't know what National Cellar was, he figured it must be very expensive.
Even after falling on hard times, Su Yun could still live in such luxury. Tang San couldn't even imagine how good Su Yun's life had been before.
And seeing Su Yun share something so nice with him moved Tang San once again.

Watching Su Yun's movements, Tang San imitated him, lifting the stemmed glass. He gave it a gentle swirl before taking a small sip. Maybe it was just his imagination, but it tasted even better that way.
The four-hundred-li journey took the carriage a full day and a half.
If they'd ridden the Little Sheep, they could've made it in half a day, but unfortunately, Su Yun didn't know the way.
So it wasn't until the following afternoon that the two of them reached their destination: the Soul Hunting Forest.
Though it had no city walls, the place was much like a small city. Shops lined the streets, and simple, man-made paths crisscrossed between them. There were all kinds of stores.
What they mainly sold was anything related to Soul Masters: weapons, food, tents, and even antidotes.
Shouts and hawking rang out one after another.
And, of course, there were plenty of people looking to form teams.
"Peerless Soul Hunting Group! We have a permit! Led by a Level 29 Soul Grandmaster! Get in touch if you need to hunt for a Spirit Ring!"
"Elite Group! Led by a Level 38 Soul Elder! We only hunt Spirit Beasts over a thousand years old! One person per carriage! Come if you have a permit!"
"Self-Strengthening Group! Everyone helps each other out! Let's hunt Spirit Beasts under a hundred years old together! We have a permit! Five Level 10 Soul Masters already; two more and we set off!"
"Wild Soul Hunting Group! Professionals at hunting Spirit Beasts under a hundred years old! We've been around for ten years, and our reputation's guaranteed! Bring a permit and get a discount of 20 Gold Soul Coins!"
