lThe True Young Master Saves the Soul Pet World by Eating Melons – CH158

Chapter 158: The Four Reunite

Si Er and the other two searched for Lu Taiping’s whereabouts while eating grapes.

The grapes were so fragrant and sweet that the three of them unknowingly finished several bunches.

These grapes provided the greatest boost to Si Xu, whose constitution was wood-attributed. They were also highly beneficial to Si Er and Yu Beixuan, both of whom could absorb most types of energy.

The smaller beasts were eating happily as well. Although most of them were carnivorous spirit beasts, they were still young and quite fond of sweet-and-sour fruit.

The slightly older Yu Bei Wolf and Yu Bei Eagle still preferred the jerky specially made by Yu Beixuan. They only tasted the grapes for variety.

Of course, if possible, they would much rather enjoy Si Yi’s barbecue—but sadly, that wasn’t something they could have whenever they wanted.

Only when Si Yi grilled meat specifically for Si Er could they sneak a few bites.

As they walked, Si Er and Yu Beixuan suddenly stopped.

Si Xu asked curiously, “Why did you stop? Is there something unusual here?”

Si Er said thoughtfully, “I feel like there’s a maze formation here.”

“Is there?” Si Xu looked carefully for quite some time but saw nothing unusual.

He found it strange. “Aren’t you not very good at formations, Er’er?”

“Yeah, I’m not,” Si Er admitted honestly with a nod.

“But it’s strange. Even though I can’t understand what the instructor is saying, can’t grasp the principles behind formations, and definitely can’t set one up…”

“I’m actually quite sensitive to them. I have a strange kind of intuition.”

Si Xu was intrigued. “What kind of intuition?”

Si Er said, “It feels like I could smash this formation apart with one punch.”

Yu Beixuan nodded. “I feel the same. One move would be enough.”

A single punch probably wouldn’t be enough for him—his physical strength wasn’t on Si Er’s level.

But with a single move, he could corrode the formation using the power of darkness.

The spectators outside all thought the two boys were boasting. Sure, their soul pets were powerful, but they were still young and had only just enrolled—how could they possibly be that capable?

Si Xu also found their claims unbelievable. But as a good older brother, he unconditionally trusted his little brother.

So he asked, “Then which of you wants to try?”

Yu Beixuan replied, “Let Er’er try. His punch should be faster.”

His own corrosion method wasn’t slow either, but it looked far too dark and ominous. People might think he wasn’t a good person.

Yu Beixuan felt terribly wronged by that. How could someone judge a person’s character based solely on their attribute?

Although he had long been used to others’ malicious speculation, in front of Si Er, he still wanted to appear a bit more innocent.

Si Er had already raised his fist eagerly. The moment Yu Beixuan finished speaking, he threw a punch.

There was a sharp cracking sound—something seemed to shatter.

Then a towering tree suddenly shifted shape, and a strangely neat, grass-and-wood clearing appeared before the three of them.

Along with it appeared Lu Taiping, squatting under the tree, hugging a turtle and a mouse while drawing circles on the ground.

Si Er asked curiously, “Classmate Lu, why have you been drawing circles on the ground?”

Upon suddenly hearing voices, Lu Taiping looked up in disbelief and stared at the three of them for a long moment. Then he revived as if fully healed and sprang to his feet.

“Classmate Si Er! It’s so great to see you three. I thought I was going to be trapped here forever!”

As he spoke, Lu Taiping lunged toward Si Er. Yu Beixuan instinctively pulled Si Er aside. Unable to stop himself in time, Lu Taiping flew straight toward Si Xu instead.

But Si Xu felt Lu Taiping looked a bit foolish and wasn’t keen on being tackled, so he summoned his large azure roc.

As a result, Lu Taiping ended up hugging the Sky-Obscuring Roc tightly. Man and bird stared blankly at each other.

Si Er couldn’t help covering his face.

Help, this looks so stupid!

Qingfeng looks like a silly bird, and Classmate Lu Taiping looks like a silly—

Forget it, forget it. That’s not very polite. I shouldn’t think like that.

Lu Taiping: You already started thinking it—at least finish the thought! What was I supposed to look like? An idiot? A fool? A moron?

Si Xu retrieved his roc and patted its big head, thinking: Why say “looks like”? My Qingfeng is a silly bird.

Si Er looked at Lu Taiping curiously. “Classmate Lu, how did you accidentally enter this maze formation?”

“The illusion here used to be a big tree! You didn’t run straight into the tree, did you?”

Lu Taiping hesitated. “I… I…”

Inside Si Er’s sea of consciousness, Guagua burst into wild laughter.

[Hahaha, he really did run straight into the tree!]

Nowadays, when Guagua secretly communicated with Si Er, others could sometimes overhear as well. Lu Taiping couldn’t help covering his face.

He wondered how Guagua’s thoughts kept getting leaked.

Most of the time, Guagua would spill gossip to Si Er, and only when Si Er mentally replayed it would everyone else hear the full story.

Lu Taiping felt that his gossip was minor—surely not worth Si Er replaying in his mind.

So as long as Guagua’s thoughts weren’t exposed, he wouldn’t be too embarrassed.

Unfortunately, after following an owner who was like a sieve, Guagua had also become sieve-like. Today, his lifelong reputation was doomed.

[Hahaha, he was walking while studying how to use the compass.]

[Then he got so absorbed staring at it that he didn’t watch where he was going and slammed straight into the tree—then directly entered the maze formation.]

[Actually, the entrance to this maze used to not be a tree. It was changed precisely to prevent people from accidentally entering!]

[But Classmate Lu Taiping doesn’t watch where he’s walking, and his luck isn’t great either. If he doesn’t get lost, who would?]

Lu Taiping felt utterly wronged. Aside from yesterday when he kept staring at the compass, when had he ever walked without looking?

[This maze formation seems to have other uses. The academy mainly uses it for hunting. Who would’ve thought Er’er would smash it with one punch? White Tiger Academy must be heartbroken right now.]

Si Er also felt a twinge of guilt upon hearing that.

If I broke their formation, do I need to compensate them?

[Probably not. You didn’t know beforehand. Ignorance is no crime.]

[At worst, they’ll recruit you. No big deal. That way you’ll even have an extra source of income.]

An extra source of income also means an extra job… But what do you mean by recruit?

[There’s a Formation Association on the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent. They’ll probably absorb you into their formation dismantling team.]

[After all, Er’er isn’t great at setting up formations, but when it comes to tearing them down, you hit the mark every time.]

[Although there are some you can’t dismantle yet, if you eat more Strength Watermelons, you’ll be able to break them eventually.]

[I think years from now, when legends about Er’er circulate across the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent, they’ll probably begin like this—]

[“Long, long ago, there was a formation slayer on the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent…”]

Si Er stuffed a bitter melon into Guagua’s mouth.

Be more refined, melon assassin.
