Xiao Feiyu

"You said your name was Xiao Feiyu?"

"Mm."

"And you said you were my wife?"

"That's right."

"Big sis, do you even hear yourself? I won't even be six for another three months!" Lu Shiyuan's face was full of disbelief. Were people these days really this deranged?

He knew he was handsome. They said you could tell what someone would be like at three, and although he was not yet six, he would definitely grow into a handsome man.

But even so, they could not lay their hands on a child!

Xiao Feiyu burst into laughter, thoroughly amused by him.

"Haha." After laughing enough, Xiao Feiyu continued, "I knew your parents. I came to Notting City this time to take care of you. I didn't expect to sense the aura of the Void-Time Dragon Eyes as soon as I arrived."

Lu Shiyuan studied Xiao Feiyu suspiciously, considering how much of her words he could believe.

Judging by her appearance, Xiao Feiyu was around twenty. A few years ago, she would not even have been twenty yet, so it was not strange for her to know his parents.

But she had also claimed to be familiar with the aura of the Void-Time Dragon Eyes, and that was highly questionable.

After all, Lu Hao and Chen Yun's Martial Souls had absolutely nothing to do with the Void-Time Dragon Eyes.

Seeing Lu Shiyuan's guarded stance, Xiao Feiyu sighed inwardly and continued, "Xiao Yuan, there are some things I can't tell you yet. But rest assured, no matter what, I would never hurt you!"

For your sake in my previous life, I was willing to throw away even my life. How could I possibly hurt you?

She paused, and her expression gradually turned resolute. "No, not only will I never hurt you, I'll protect you even at the cost of my life! As long as I'm alive, no one can hurt Xiao Yuan!"

Naturally, Lu Shiyuan did not believe her. A complete stranger met him for the first time and claimed she would protect him with her life. No normal person would be naive enough to believe such a promise.

But Xiao Feiyu's next words completely shattered his understanding.

"Xiao Yuan, what mission do you need to complete to obtain your first Soul Ring?"

Lu Shiyuan: "..."

"Have you not received the mission yet?" Xiao Feiyu's expression changed.

Lu Shiyuan looked even worse than she did. He forced out a smile. "Big sis, what nonsense are you talking about? How could anyone obtain a Soul Ring without hunting a soul beast?"

Xiao Feiyu was exceedingly clever and immediately saw through Lu Shiyuan's thoughts.

"You're quite cautious." Once she understood the crux of the matter, she could not help laughing. She rubbed Lu Shiyuan's head before continuing, "That may be true for others, but you're different. As long as you complete the corresponding mission, your Soul Rings can be obtained automatically. Am I wrong?"

Lu Shiyuan fell silent, but sometimes silence was an answer in itself.

He did not know how the system's secret had been exposed. It had only been half an hour since he obtained it.

He had not even had time to get used to it. It was not as though he had been stupid enough to announce it to the entire world.

"Xiao Yuan, do you believe now that I won't hurt you? There are some things I can't tell you yet, but all you need to know is that you are the most special one." She rubbed Lu Shiyuan's head again, took a thin booklet from her Soul Tool, and placed it in his hands. "This was yours to begin with. Now it can finally return to its rightful owner."

Lu Shiyuan took the booklet curiously. After opening it and reading only two lines, his eyes widened.

"This is... a meditation technique?"

"That's right. This is the meditation technique passed down through your family. It is several times more efficient than the meditation techniques currently popular across the continent, and it can also temper the body."

Lu Shiyuan was truly stunned. The Lu Family had such a treasure?

But why had his father never told him about any of this? Even his father practiced only the most ordinary meditation technique.

Could it be that this technique had some other requirements?

After a long while, he hesitated before asking, "Big sis, are you sure I'm the person you're looking for? Could there be someone else on the continent with the Void-Time Dragon Eyes, so you got the wrong person?"

It was not that he wanted to turn down something valuable, but windfalls like this only ever happened in dreams.

If he took something he should not, the price he paid in the future would often far exceed what he gained now.

He was an orphan whose parents were both dead, with no influence or backing. If a moment of greed made him reach for something he should not, the price he would have to pay in the future might very well be his life.

Besides, he already had the system. What good thing could he not pull from the system's pockets? Why take such a risk?

Xiao Feiyu's expression turned serious. "Impossible. The Void-Time Dragon Eyes are a one-of-a-kind Martial Soul. What's more, you possess the Star God Heavenly Orbit as your second Martial Soul. Your existence is unique!"

Well, there was no doubt about it now.

Xiao Feiyu even knew about his second Martial Soul. There could not possibly be another person in this world exactly like him.

Seeing Lu Shiyuan accept this, Xiao Feiyu added, "So, Xiao Yuan, can you tell big sis what your mission is now?"

Since things had reached this point, there was no point pretending to be clueless.

He answered with complete candor, "Join Nuoding Academy."

"That's it?"

"That's it."

Not only Xiao Feiyu, but even Lu Shiyuan himself found it strange.

A Soul Ring perfectly suited to his Martial Soul, able to provide the most fitting Soul Skill and at the maximum age he could endure, was the reward for such a simple mission.

How was that any different from being handed to him for free?

Xiao Feiyu pondered for a moment before saying, "Xiao Yuan, there are still less than three months before Nuoding Academy begins. Leave this period to big sis, all right?"

Lu Shiyuan looked at her in surprise. Was she going to start fulfilling her promise?

Xiao Feiyu did not know what he was thinking and continued, "Xiao Yuan, I'm sure you know that Soul Rings have age limits."

Lu Shiyuan nodded. Though he was a transmigrator and knew that theory was complete nonsense, he had no intention of exposing his greatest secret.

It was one thing for the system to be discovered, but if people learned he had transmigrated too, he would truly have nothing left to hide.

Xiao Feiyu continued, "Many people believe the age limit for a first Soul Ring is 423 years, but that theory is actually wrong. The age of Soul Rings one can absorb is directly proportional to one's physique, Martial Soul quality, and accumulated Soul Power. As long as your body can handle it, even a hundred-thousand-year first Soul Ring is possible."

Lu Shiyuan continued nodding. Of course. Huo Gua's first Soul Ring had even been a million years old.

"Since your first Soul Ring can be obtained automatically, then naturally you should pursue a higher limit. I intend to use the three months before enrollment to temper your Soul Power and physique. That way, when you absorb your Soul Ring, you can break through to the highest possible age limit. What do you think?"

Lu Shiyuan agreed almost without thinking.

No matter how credible Xiao Feiyu's earlier words were, her proposal just now offered him genuine help.

At least for now, Xiao Feiyu was still worth trusting.
