Spirit Holy City-
Inside the Holy City Orphanage-
A boy lay on a tree branch, looking about six or seven years old. He had healthy wheat-colored skin, and his eyes curved with a clever, lively air.
He held a foxtail grass stem between his lips, his hands pillowed behind his head and his legs swinging back and forth.
"Brother Su Yu!"
A sweet, childish call broke the afternoon quiet. Then a little girl with her hair in two buns came running over with bouncing steps.
She wore a little cloth dress washed pale, and her eyes were large and bright, like two black grapes nestled inside them.
"Little Fox, what do you want from me this time?" Su Yu sat up in the tree, raised his eyebrows, and deliberately drew out his words.
"Don't tell me you're trying to trick me into playing house again, making me that wooden groom who does nothing but nod?"
At that, Hu Liena puffed out her cheeks, her lips jutting out far enough to hang an oil bottle from them. She stamped her foot hard enough to shake her skirt.
"Hmph! Brother Su Yu, you're the worst! I told you, my name is Hu Liena, not Little Fox!"
"Yes, yes, little comrade Hu Liena."
Su Yu smiled and jumped down from the tree, as light as a leaf.
He walked up to Hu Liena and reached out to give her little nose a gentle pinch.
"But I bet you'll grow up to be a bewitching little fox."
"You're the fox!"
Hu Liena angrily swatted his hand away, though her cheeks quietly reddened.
Just then, an angry, childish voice rang out:
"Su Yu, you scoundrel! You're pinching my sister's face again! Take this magic treasure!"
Before the words had even finished, a dusty little cloth shoe came flying toward Su Yu with a whoosh.
Su Yu leaned back slightly and deftly dodged it. The shoe smacked into the old locust tree, then bounced off.
Before he could steady himself, another shoe came flying after it, carrying the same "killing intent."
Su Yu pushed off with his toes and twisted sideways. The shoe skimmed past the hem of his clothes and landed in a pile of grass nearby.
He turned to look and saw a boy about his own height standing a short distance away with his hands on his hips.
The boy's little face was flushed red with anger. It was Hu Liena's older brother, Xie Yue.
"Xie Yue! You're here!" Su Yu looked up at the newcomer, the corners of his mouth curling as he deliberately raised his voice.
"You have to admit, our Nana really is pretty. Those smiling eyes and brows are much nicer to look at than that face you keep stiff all day."
Su Yu's praise brought a faint blush to Hu Liena's cheeks, as though they had been tinted with spring peach blossoms.
Her eyes shifted as she stole a glance at Su Yu. Then she turned toward Xie Yue, her little brows furrowing slightly.
"Brother, don't keep making that stern face. Brother Su Yu and I are playing."
Hearing that, Xie Yue felt as though something had jabbed him in the heart.
His little sister had always been closest to him. When had she ever defended anyone else like this?
His gaze toward Su Yu immediately took on a spark of anger, like a lion whose territory had been invaded.
Yet Su Yu acted as though he had not noticed his anger. Instead, he winked at Hu Liena, deliberately putting a little weakness into his voice.
"Nana, look at your brother. His eyes are as round as bronze bells. Is he going to hit me?"
As he spoke, he ducked behind Hu Liena, even deliberately poking his head out to make a face at Xie Yue.
Hu Liena immediately spread her arms, shielding Su Yu completely like a hen protecting her chicks. She tilted her little face up toward Xie Yue and said:
"Brother! Don't be mean to Brother Su Yu! You'll scare him like that!"
Seeing his little sister siding with an outsider, Xie Yue nearly choked on his own breath.
He was clearly worried that this smooth-talking fellow would fool his sister. How had he become the one in the wrong instead?
And Su Yu, hiding behind someone else while still making faces at him, was practically begging for a beating!
"What part of him looks scared?" Xie Yue gritted his teeth and pointed at Su Yu behind Hu Liena!
"He's pretending! Nana, don't let him fool you!"
"He is not!" Hu Liena immediately argued, shaking her little head like a rattle drum.
"Brother Su Yu is scared! Brother, stop giving him that frightening look!"
Su Yu secretly poked his head out from behind Hu Liena and winked at Xie Yue, his smile growing wider.
That smug look made Xie Yue's hands itch. He wanted nothing more than to charge over, drag him out, and give him a beating.
But faced with his sister's determination to protect him, Xie Yue could only let out a fierce "Hmph!" and turn his face away.
He had already repeated Su Yu's name eight hundred times in his mind-he would remember this debt!
Seeing that her brother had fallen silent, Hu Liena thought he had listened. She turned around, tugged on the hem of Su Yu's clothes, and whispered:
"Brother Su Yu, don't be scared. My brother only looks fierce. He wouldn't dare hit you."
Struggling to hold back his laughter, Su Yu nodded. "Mm, with Nana protecting me, I'm not scared anymore."
Watching the two interact as though no one else were there, Xie Yue could only feel his temples throbbing.
He decided he would not watch this infuriating sight any longer, turned away, and sat down on the stone steps in a corner of the courtyard.
With his back to them, he listened to the laughter drifting over from behind him now and then, feeling both angry and helpless.
"Oh, Brother Su Yu, we're awakening our Martial Souls tomorrow. Brother Su Yu, are you excited?"
"Mm, I just don't know what Martial Soul I'll awaken, or whether I'll have Soul Power!"
"Mm! Brother Su Yu, you're so amazing. You'll definitely awaken a powerful Martial Soul. I believe in you!"
"Then I hope your kind words come true, Nana. But I believe Nana will definitely awaken a powerful Martial Soul!"
In the original story, Hu Liena had awakened her family's inherited Martial Soul, the Demon Fox, and her Innate Soul Power had reached rank nine.
Among Spirit Hall's younger generation, she was the most talented girl besides Qian Renxue.
Xie Yue had also awakened his family's inherited Martial Soul, the Moon Blade, and his Innate Soul Power had reached rank eight.
As for this body of his, he did not even know who its parents were, so he had no idea what Martial Soul he might awaken.
That was right-Su Yu was a transmigrator!
He had been only five when he transmigrated, a little beggar who happened to be taken in by the Holy City Orphanage.
The Holy City Orphanage sounded like an orphanage, but it was actually a place where Spirit Hall selected talent.
Anyone who awakened a good Martial Soul and had Innate Soul Power could go on to study at Spirit Hall Academy.
If you awakened a Trash Martial Soul, then sorry-the orphanage would only support you until you were twelve.
After turning twelve, you would have to enter Spirit Hall as a servant.
Of course, that was still a decent livelihood for ordinary people. After all, Spirit Hall's servants were paid very well!
Su Yu had no desire to be a servant. Having finally gotten the chance to transmigrate, how could he not hold power over the world and lie drunkenly in a beauty's lap?
Tomorrow would decide his fate. It all depended on whether he could awaken a good Martial Soul!
That night, after the other children in his dormitory had fallen asleep, Su Yu quietly slipped out.
