Yu Xiaogang began to doubt himself

Yu Xiaogang swallowed and raised a hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Am I... afraid?"

His trembling voice echoed through the cramped room, but no one could answer that question for him.

Yu Xiaogang soon convinced himself.

"No... my theories could never be wrong! That could never happen!"

From the moment he had accepted Tang San as his disciple.

To when he had learned that Tang San's second martial soul was the Clear Sky Hammer.

He had known that Tang San would absolutely prove his invincible theories!

Even if Blue Silver Grass was ordinary, he still had the Clear Sky Hammer to fall back on!

So this dream... was wrong!

Tang San could never hate him!

Because Tang San would not be a good-for-nothing!

Yu Xiaogang sat on his bed, muttering endlessly to himself, as though brainwashing himself to strengthen his convictions.

Seeing this, Ye Fan turned and left in satisfaction.

"Today was just an appetizer. There are plenty more possible 'futures' waiting for you."

After all, who knew whether those inner thoughts he had amplified with Word Spirit might eventually come true...

After returning to the dormitory.

Ye Fan lay down on his bed, ready to enjoy a good night's sleep.

Tomorrow, he also needed to visit Spirit Hall and ask Su Yuntao for a permit to enter the Soul Hunting Forest.

But the moment he lay down.

Ye Fan noticed that it felt rather warm beneath his quilt.

And... there was something soft against his right side.

Hmm?

Where did this body pillow come from?

Ye Fan reached over and squeezed it. Soft and springy.

This scent seemed familiar, too...

After he squeezed it twice, the body pillow suddenly let out a little whimper, instantly setting alarm bells ringing in Ye Fan's head.

Wrong!!

He shot upright and whipped the quilt away.

There was a rabbit lying beside him. With the quilt pulled away, she had curled into a ball, hugging the pillow she had brought over.

Ye Fan: "..."

He looked incredulously at the neighboring bed. Sure enough... it was completely empty.

Ye Fan nudged Xiao Wu and lowered his voice.

"Hey, stupid rabbit, go back to your own bed. Did you pay to sleep here?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu could not even be bothered to open her eyes and mumbled indistinctly.

"No way... I don't have a quilt, and it's warm here...

Besides, Sister Xiao Wu even brought a pillow to mark the boundary. What more do you want?"

And this Bearskin Bed was soft to lie on, far better than the bed boards.

She was not going back.

Besides, if she really was going to have a baby and sacrifice herself in the future, what was wrong with letting her sleep comfortably!?

Ye Fan stared speechlessly at Xiao Wu, who was hugging her pillow with her back to him.

What purpose was that boundary serving?

Your boundary was even more flexible than my bottom line!

That said, Ye Fan could do little about this thick-skinned girl.

After tossing the quilt to her, he took a slightly smaller Wolfskin Blanket from his bundle, covered himself with it, and lay down with his back to Xiao Wu as well.

In the darkness, Xiao Wu quietly opened her eyes and revealed a satisfied, sly smile.

His character was pretty decent...

That night, apart from the inexplicable grinding of teeth that kept coming from the bed opposite, the two slept soundly.

"Xiao Wu, if you keep eating, you'll finish all our rations before we even reach the Soul Beast Forest."

As Ye Fan walked along the road, he spoke while swatting away a pale little hand that had stealthily reached into his backpack.

"Tch, so stingy. Sister Xiao Wu hasn't eaten that much!"

Xiao Wu clutched her hand, which now bore a red mark, and pursed her lips in indignation.

The two were on their way to Spirit Hall.

After getting up, Ye Fan had "casually" let slip to Xiao Wu that he was going to obtain a Soul Ring, and that once he became a One-Ring Soul Master, he would receive Gold Soul Coins.

Of course, he needed Xiao Wu as his living radar, Soul Beast encyclopedia, and fighter.

After hearing this, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and she decided to set off for the Soul Beast Forest with Ye Fan.

She dressed it up as concern that something might happen to Ye Fan if he went to the Soul Hunting Forest alone.

As for her other reasons, she also needed a safe place to condense her Soul Ring.

The Soul Hunting Forest was an excellent choice.

Without Ye Fan beside her, she felt rather anxious.

What if her aura leaked while she was condensing her Soul Ring and a Titled Douluo sensed it?

It was all Ye Fan's fault!

He wouldn't even tell her where that Titled Douluo was.

Otherwise, she would have condensed her Soul Ring long ago.

Both of them had their own hidden agendas.

As for why Ye Fan would not let Xiao Wu reach into his backpack and rummage around... naturally, it was because there were things inside that she could not be allowed to eat indiscriminately.

That would cause trouble.

Before long, the two arrived at Spirit Hall in Nuoding City.

As soon as they arrived, Ye Fan spotted the person he was looking for.

Su Yuntao stood outside Spirit Hall, speaking to a woman with a sizzling figure, a fawning expression on his face.

Slacking off and flirting during work hours?

"Master Su!"

From a considerable distance, Ye Fan called out loudly to Su Yuntao.

Better that than getting close enough to hear something he should not.

"Hmm?"

Hearing the voice, Su Yuntao turned his head in confusion and saw Ye Fan running toward him with a little girl.

This child...

Su Yuntao thought for a moment and soon remembered who Ye Fan was.

He could hardly forget a child with innate full Soul Power.

At the sight of the two, he put on a professional smile.

"Little fellow, I remember... you're from Holy Soul Village, aren't you?"

"You have a good memory, Master Su. That's right, my name is Ye Fan. I came to Spirit Hall today to apply for a permit to enter the Soul Hunting Forest."

"A permit... all right, come with me."

Su Yuntao's gaze moved between Ye Fan and Sisi. After a moment's thought, he decided to take care of his work first.

There was absolutely nothing to fault in his professionalism.

At first, Sisi was a little unhappy at having their conversation interrupted. This fellow always put work first and never thought to put some effort into courting her.

But when she saw Xiao Wu, her expression instantly turned delighted.

"Oh my, what an adorable little girl."

With that exclamation, she walked straight over to Xiao Wu.

Sisi produced a lollipop from behind her back and offered it to Xiao Wu. "Little girl, what are you called?"

Xiao Wu glanced at her and raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"I wasn't calling."

Sisi: "..."

Such a sweet, adorable girl was difficult to dislike, even if she was a little offbeat...

Sisi took a deep breath and began chatting with Xiao Wu.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan followed Su Yuntao into Spirit Hall and began filling out forms and having his Soul Power tested.

This was to confirm that the applicant was qualified to enter the Soul Hunting Forest.

Obtaining the permit only required filling in a few details, so the whole process took very little time.

"Thank you, Master Su."

"It's nothing. This is my job."

After taking the permit, Ye Fan put it straight into his pocket.

Just as he turned to leave, Su Yuntao grabbed him.
