Misunderstood by Tang Ya, Who Apologized in Shame (Please Bookmark and Request Updates)

Lin Fan looked around, then walked over to Huo Yuhao and stopped in front of him.

"Stop!"

"Who are you? How dare you hurt little Yuhao?"

A voice rang out. Lin Fan stopped at once and turned to see two people emerging from the bushes.

The one in front was a young woman with long black hair tied in a ponytail down her back. Her light-blue fitted outfit outlined her budding figure, lending her a youthful air.

She had beautiful, expressive eyes, delicate features, and skin as white as jade. But she looked at him with anger in her eyes.

Behind her came a tall young man with short, dark-blue hair. His puzzled gaze turned to surprise

as he took in the hulking Explosive King mecha Lin Fan was piloting, along with the three-meter-thick Mandala Snake dragging behind him.

Lin Fan recognized the pair as Tang Ya and Bei Bei.

Seeing that they had misunderstood, he turned to explain,

but both of them immediately felt a wave of pressure. The massive Explosive King mecha's single eye gleamed with a cold, eerie green light, making it deeply intimidating.

"Bei Bei, is that enormous thing a Soul Tool? It's pretty frightening! It looks powerful."

"What is that thing? Why is it so scary?"

Tang Ya swallowed, staring fixedly at the Explosive King mecha as she spoke under her breath.

"It isn't a Soul Tool. Look, it's dragging a thousand-year Mandala Snake. It should be a Martial Soul, which means he's a Soul Master."

Bei Bei studied Lin Fan seriously, then turned to Tang Ya and said,

"Teacher Xiaoya, we'd better not act rashly. He doesn't look like someone we should provoke."

Tang Ya looked startled. Noticing the thousand-year Mandala Snake he was dragging, she nodded.

"Yes, you're right, Bei Bei. We shouldn't act rashly, but we have to save little Yuhao."

"His strength is astonishing! He's dragging a thousand-year Mandala Snake. Is he a monster?"

Lin Fan looked at the two of them and explained,

"Hello, I'm Lin Fan. Have you misunderstood something? I didn't hurt him."

Seeing that he really was a Soul Master and that the enormous machine was his Martial Soul, Tang Ya said unhappily,

"I'm Tang Ya, and he's Bei Bei. How could this be a misunderstanding? When we got here, you were the only one around. If it wasn't you, who was it?"

Bei Bei agreed. "Tang Ya's right. When we arrived, you were the only one here, apart from the baboon on the ground."

Lin Fan continued to defend himself.

"I came over when I heard a noise. He was already lying on the ground when I saw him. He's only unconscious now, so why not ask him when he wakes up?"

Tang Ya's expression changed. "You didn't hurt little Yuhao?"

"That's right," Lin Fan said.

Bei Bei asked, "Then how did he end up unconscious?"

Lin Fan turned toward the two of them and said quietly,

"Don't go around falsely accusing people. How would I know? I already told you, he was unconscious when I got here."

Just as Tang Ya and Bei Bei were puzzling over this, Huo Yuhao slowly woke. He opened his eyes and saw the enormous mecha, nearly the size of a Soul Beast. Then he spotted Tang Ya and Bei Bei and called out,

"Big Brother Bei, Sister Tang, why are you here? Did something happen?"

Delighted to see little Yuhao awake, Tang Ya waved vigorously, beckoning him over.

"Little Yuhao, come here! Quickly!"

Huo Yuhao braced a hand against the tree trunk behind him and stood. Lin Fan made no move against him, so he hurried over to Tang Ya and Bei Bei without a second thought.

Tang Ya rushed forward and looked little Yuhao over from head to toe. Finding that he was unharmed, just as Lin Fan had said, she asked,

"What happened, little Yuhao? Why did you pass out? Did that man hit you?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"No, Sister Tang, Big Brother Bei. I fought that baboon and passed out, that's all."

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Huo Yuhao wasn't hurt, they could finally relax.

Lin Fan stepped forward. "I told you I didn't hurt him, but you two still accused me."

Tang Ya lowered her head and said in shame, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. We shouldn't have accused you."

She should have found out what had happened before saying anything.

"Brother Lin Fan, it was a misunderstanding. Please be generous enough to forgive her," Bei Bei said on her behalf.

"All right, I forgive her," Lin Fan said readily. He wasn't petty.

"Thank you."

Suddenly, the Mandala Snake opened its eyes and began thrashing, trying to wrench its tail free from Lin Fan's grip and escape.

Tang Ya and Bei Bei were startled, as was Huo Yuhao.

They had thought the Mandala Snake Lin Fan was dragging was dead. They hadn't expected it to be alive, merely knocked unconscious before he dragged it away.

"You woke up that quickly?"

Feeling the tail writhing in his hand, Lin Fan turned and saw that the Mandala Snake was awake.

He raised his fist and threw another punch, striking the Mandala Snake squarely on the head.

The Mandala Snake had no way to dodge. The blow knocked it unconscious again, and the racket stopped.

Lin Fan smiled. This Mandala Snake was probably worth a good amount of money. He could sell it when he reached Shrek City.

"Brother Lin Fan, what are you going to do with that thousand-year Mandala Snake?"

Seeing that the thousand-year Mandala Snake he held was alive, Tang Ya couldn't help asking.

"Teacher Xiaoya, you want that thousand-year Mandala Snake, don't you?"

Bei Bei immediately understood why Tang Ya had asked and smiled.

"Shh, Bei Bei. It's a thousand-year Mandala Snake! Chances like this are rare. I just want to ask whether I can get it." Tang Ya pressed her middle finger to her lips and gave a quick, soft laugh.

She had already reached level thirty. All she needed was a thousand-year snake-type Soul Beast to enter the ranks of Soul Elders.

She wanted this Mandala Snake badly. With it, she wouldn't have to go to so much trouble searching the Star Dou Great Forest for a suitable thousand-year snake-type Soul Beast.

"What am I going to do with my thousand-year Mandala Snake? Sell it, of course." Lin Fan could tell Tang Ya wanted it and put on a smile. "If you want to buy it, I'll let you have it cheap. How does fifty Gold Soul Coins sound?"

"Fifty Gold Soul Coins? That's so expensive!" Tang Ya cried.

Bei Bei stepped up beside Tang Ya.

"Teacher Xiaoya, do you have that many Gold Soul Coins? We'd better keep looking in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Tang Ya clasped her hands tightly. After a moment's silence, she said, "No more searching. I don't have that many Gold Soul Coins."

Ever since her parents had been killed and the Tang Sect seized, her life had fallen from wealth into poverty in a single plunge.

She lived on an allowance now, but she still wanted to ask whether he would lower the price. After all, the First Soul Ring of Sea God Tang San, ten thousand years ago, had also come from a Mandala Snake. She wanted to follow in his footsteps.

Tang Ya looked at Lin Fan and asked again, "Could you make it any cheaper?"

If he lowered the price, she might actually be able to buy it.

"Any cheaper?"
