I Missed Him
Yang Shelly first met Ah Rou that evening. Ah Rou stayed in a guest room in the courtyard, and the three of them had a rather sumptuous dinner together.
The atmosphere was slightly strange.
Before the meal, Ling Yi gave the two women a brief introduction.
Yang Shelly is Ling Yi's confidante, the kind of woman he will spend the rest of his life with.
Ah Rou is the little sister who became friends with Ling Yi at first sight. She has just graduated from the Junior Soul Master Academy. A few days ago, she hunted her Third Soul Ring in the Star Dou Great Forest. Today, she happened to see the sign of the Green Wood Merchant Association and came to Brother Yi's place to catch up.
Hmm... There are quite a few loopholes, but fortunately, Yang Shelly is reasonable and didn't delve into the details.
Of course, the main reason for this was Ling Yi's introduction of her.
"To spend the rest of our lives together—?"
Looking at Yang Shelly's almost drooling gaze towards Ling Yi, Ah Rou felt a feeling she had never experienced before.
It was like envy, and it was also like longing.
That seemed to be something very, very beautiful, and also very, very distant.
When she was Soul Beast, Ah Rou never experienced this. Now that she has transformed into a human, she is still ignorant and naive, even though she is not yet twelve years old.
Because of the emotional shock caused by Ling Yi's revelations, Ah Rou stayed in Ling Yi's small courtyard, planning to find an ordinary, unremarkable county or town to settle down in once she had calmed down.
However, on the very first night, Ah Rou received a rather vivid music lesson.
Ah Rou, who hadn't slept all night, realized it was already the next day when she saw the sunlight streaming into the room through the window.
As Ah Rou Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, if you ask her what love is, she might be completely clueless. But if you ask her what reproduction is, she would definitely say she is very knowledgeable.
After all, Ah Rou's true form is a "Soft Bone Rabbit".
Rabbits are among the most prolific mammals in terms of reproductive capacity!
Tens of thousands of years ago, when they were still innocent rabbits, they received a stroke of good fortune that awakened the intelligence of Ah Rou and Xiao Wu, the two "Soft Bone Rabbit," allowing them to embark on the path of cultivation. Otherwise, Ah Rou would have been an ancestor of the "Soft Bone Rabbit" clan at least.
In the early morning, when Ah Rou stepped out of her room, she saw Ling Yi busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
"Brother Yi ~" Ah Rou murmured a few times with her pink lips, greeting him softly.
Ling Yi, holding a long-handled spoon, turned to look at Ah Rou standing outside the kitchen door and replied with a smile, "Get up! Wait a moment, breakfast will be ready soon—"
Ah Rou was somewhat at a loss for words and nodded blankly.
Then, without leaving, he stood outside the kitchen door, staring intently at Ling Yi inside the kitchen.
From last night's dinner, Ah Rou knew that Ling Yi's cooking skills were quite impressive. Now, watching him cook, she found it so pleasing to the eye that she unconsciously became engrossed in watching.
"Okay~"
After an unknown amount of time, a pleasant voice rang out, waking Ah Rou from her reverie.
Upon closer inspection, one could see Ling Yi, who was holding a tray in his left hand, pointing with his right hand to the stove and dining table beside him. "Ah Rou, you eat first. I'll take breakfast to Shelly. Don't wait for me."
Coming to her senses, Ah Rou quickly nodded and replied, "Ah~ Oh~ Oh~ Okay... okay~~"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he saw Ling Yi carrying a tray toward the kitchen door. He quickly moved two steps to the side to make way for Ling Yi.
As Ling Yi Ling Yi walked up to her, as he smiled and nodded at her, as he walked away carrying the tray, Ling Yi Ah Rou stunned.
Almost two hours later, facing a sumptuous breakfast that looked and smelled delicious, Ah Rou, who had no appetite, finally saw Yang Shelly's tightly closed door open again. Ling Yi walked out with a tray and empty bowls and plates, his clothes neat and his expression calm.
If it weren't for the strange noises she had just heard, Ah Rou would have almost thought that Ling Yi had simply gone to deliver breakfast and chatted with Yang Shelly on the side.
Ah Rou: "..."
The second day of staying at Ling Yi's place passed uneventfully, while Ah Rou was in a daze.
Fortunately, it seemed that Ling Yi had realized what was happening, and from the evening of the second day onwards, Ah Rou no longer heard any unusual sounds.
This reminded Ah Rou of the large-mouthed bat statue that Ling Yi had taken out during their conversation at the "Green Wood Merchant Association" the day before.
It appeared to be a Soul Tool that could absorb and block sound.
Logically, without those strange noises that lasted all night, Ah Rou should have been able to get a good night's sleep.
However, Ah Rou couldn't sleep again the following night!
Fortunately, Ah Rou, who is now Three-Ring Soul Elder, is much stronger than ordinary people in terms of Soul Power, physical strength, and mental strength. Two days of insomnia did not affect her condition during the day.
The third day, the fourth day...
On the fifth day, an uninvited guest broke the sour smell that permeated the backyard of the shop.
"Hello, is Ling Yi here?"
A clear, melodious female voice rang out, startling Ah Rou, who was dozing off at the shop counter.
Thanks to Ling Yi's assurance to Ah Rou that the "Green Wood Merchant Association" plaque displayed in the shop contained a magical power, as long as Ah Rou stayed under the plaque, her Soul Beast aura would be concealed, enough to prevent Soul Douluo from detecting her. So Ah Rou temporarily acted as a receptionist there.
As for whether any Titled Douluo will come to this shop to sell items?
It's possible, but the probability is comparable to an ordinary person winning the lottery jackpot in Ling Yi's previous life.
Raising her head, Ah Rou's bright red eyes looked at the newcomer, and her eyes immediately lit up.
What a beautiful older sister with a fresh aura and gentle temperament!
The newcomer had long, flowing azure hair that cascaded down her back. Her deep blue eyes were flawless, like blue crystals. Her beautiful face and delicate features were a perfect gift from heaven. Her Swan -like, graceful neck, combined with her tall figure, gave her an indescribable elegance.
She was dressed in a well-fitting blue and gold long dress, and although she looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, she gave off a noble and elegant feeling.
In addition, when she appears here, the air in the shop is filled with a faint fragrance.
Upon their first meeting, Ah Rou felt an inexplicable fondness for the blue-haired older sister in front of her.
"Is there something you need from Brother Yi?"
She liked him, but she still needed to find out his intentions. She, Ah Rou, was not the kind of shallow person who was easily swayed by beauty.
"Nothing's wrong, really."
The newcomer parted her red lips slightly, her voice still gentle and unhurried. "I just missed him, so I came—"
Ah Rou (⊙o⊙): "??!!"
What's going on? What's going on? What's going on?
Thinking of Yang Shelly and Ling Yi in the backyard, Ah Rou screamed wildly in her heart at this moment.
Her intuition told her that she was about to stumble upon some very juicy gossip!
