"Want some?"

"Mm."

"Why should I give you any? We're not that familiar, are we?"

"Because I saved your sister yesterday. Some students were harassing her, and I drove them away."

As Xiao Wu spoke, she raised her head and gazed at Chen Ye.

Seeing the indifference in the boy's eyes, she quietly took a step back from where she had been standing.

She lowered her head slightly as well, her eyes carrying a trace of grievance.

Chen Ye said nothing more. Instead, he looked at Chen Yue.

Meeting her brother's gaze, Chen Yue fiddled with the corner of her clothes.

Embarrassment showed on the girl's delicate face, and then she nodded gently.

Seeing his sister's reaction, Chen Ye fell silent.

He had not expected anyone to dare lay a hand on his sister.

When he raised his head and saw the aggrieved look in Xiao Wu's eyes, he gave a light cough.

"Fine, but tell me who did it. I'm rather curious who dared to cause trouble for my sister."

By the time Chen Ye said this, his voice had turned ice-cold.

The bone-piercing chill in it made even Xiao Wu subconsciously take a step back.

But after hesitating for a second, she still said, "Someone named Xiao Chenyu."

"To be honest, it didn't really count as me saving your sister."

"When the two of us were coming back together, he and that blond guy came over to provoke us, and I happened to run into them."

"The two of us had already arranged to fight tomorrow."

As Xiao Wu spoke, she scratched her head, embarrassment also showing in her eyes.

After all, Chen Ye's sister had been harassed because of her.

It was only because they had seen the two girls walking together that Xiao Chenyu had come over.

However, Chen Ye did not say anything after hearing Xiao Wu's words. He merely gave a soft hum and raised his hand.

The pot was scalding hot, yet his hand calmly reached deep inside.

A streak of silver light flashed, and half of a tiger paw was cut off. Chen Ye casually handed it to Xiao Wu.

Seeing the tiger paw, Xiao Wu's throat bobbed slightly. She then reached out to take it and sat off to the side, quietly eating.

The others were somewhat envious at the sight, but none of them dared step forward to ask for any.

Once the pot of tiger paw stew was ready, Chen Ye raised his hand.

He cut off a small piece of meat, then used spatial power to mince it and mix it into the soup before handing it to his sister.

Chen Yue was a little confused by her brother's actions.

But she did not think her brother was being stingy.

Whenever there was anything good at home, if she could eat it, he would definitely give it to her.

Since he had not given her any meat, it was obvious that she could not eat this tiger meat.

Chen Yue smiled as she accepted the soup, then sat there and drank it as well.

Waves of warmth spread through her body. Only a little salt had been added to the soup, yet it tasted exceptionally delicious.

Chen Ye raised his hand and calmly reached into the pot to grab the tiger paw. Then, holding it in his arms, he began gnawing on it.

Having been hungry all day, he did not care about anything else. After finishing the tiger paw in huge bites, he drank more than half of the remaining soup as well.

Of the little that remained, he served a bowl to his sister, then simply set the rest of the broth aside.

Seeing Chen Ye's actions, several boys exchanged glances. Without the slightest hesitation, they picked up the bowls Chen Ye had brought over and sat down to ladle up the remaining soup.

Even this soup was an excellent tonic for them, capable of making up for the physical deficiencies they had accumulated over the years.

But they could only drink the soup.

If they tried to gorge themselves on the meat as well, they would likely be unable to handle such nourishment, causing problems with their bodies.

After everyone had finished eating, Chen Ye gestured to several boys, telling them to go wash the bowls.

As the basin and bowls were carried away, Chen Ye turned his gaze toward Xiao Wu.

"They aren't work-study students, right? Which dorm do they live in? Where can I find this Xiao Chenyu?"

Chen Ye's voice was calm and detached as he spoke.

His soul power had already broken through to the Soul Master realm, and his first soul ring was even a thousand-year soul ring.

At the very least, in the current world, a thousand-year first soul ring was absolutely unprecedented.

With such talent and potential, even if he truly killed Xiao Chenyu, there would most likely be no consequences.

Thus, Chen Ye had virtually no reservations at this moment. His eyes held nothing but fury rising from his bones.

Xiao Wu was clearly frightened by Chen Ye's expression.

Clutching the bone she had just finished gnawing clean, she pointed outside.

"They normally go home to live."

"But since we're fighting tomorrow, they should stay in the staff dormitories for a while to discuss how to deal with us."

After saying that, Xiao Wu leaned back slightly.

For the first time, facing the boy before her, she felt such immense pressure.

It was pressure as vast as mountains and seas.

Especially now that his face had gone cold, even she felt instinctive fear.

Chen Ye glanced at Xiao Wu, but did not feel anything in particular.

He truly had not noticed how much of an impact he had made on this Xiao Wu, who feared nothing and no one in the early days.

In truth, anyone would feel a certain degree of fear when facing his fierce and vicious appearance.

Especially when he had just returned covered in blood, looking like a demon.

Even though Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast who had rebuilt her cultivation, she had always lived under the protection of her mother, Da Ming, and Er Ming.

She had seen little of the world, so it was perfectly normal for her to be afraid now.

Chen Ye did not waste words. He calmly walked toward the door, then turned back to look at Xiao Wu before glancing at his sister.

"Look after my sister. Thanks."

"If I hunt another soul beast next time, I'll invite you to eat again as repayment."

Chen Ye said this very casually.

After saying that, he directly opened the door and headed toward the staff dormitories.

He moved quickly.

When he reached the ground floor and saw that the staff dormitories were still lit, he did not stand on ceremony and shouted directly.

"Xiao Chenyu, get the hell out here!"

As his voice rang out, several dorm rooms that had already gone dark lit up again.

Many people looked down through their windows, their eyes full of confusion.

On the other side, a door on the lower floor opened, and a young man walked out.

He looked at Chen Ye coldly, his eyes full of disdain.

"Trash, what do you want with your grandpa?"

"How do you want to die? You dare call your grandpa by name?"

As Xiao Chenyu spoke, the hair on his body stood on end.

As his fur bristled, some students passing nearby recoiled in fright.

Seeing that Chen Ye looked somewhat too slight standing there, two students could not help shouting to him.

"Run! That's Xiao Chenyu from the sixth grade!"

"He's the most notorious bully and genius in our school! He's only in sixth grade, but he's already reached the Soul Master realm!"

As the young man spoke, Xiao Chenyu looked toward him. The two young men who had spoken hurriedly turned and ran away.

Chen Ye calmly nodded as he stared at the arrogant young man before him.

"Interesting. A genius youth, huh? You became a Soul Master in sixth grade, is that it?"
