lThe True Young Master Saves the Soul Pet World by Eating Melons – CH162

Chapter 162: A Useless Attack

When Si Er found Yu Feiqing and Lu Taiping, Yu Feiqing was exhausting every possible method to attack Lu Taiping. Just watching him made Si Er feel tired on his behalf.

And he truly was exhausted.

In the past, Lu Taiping hadn’t known the proper way to use his Xibi Turtle. He’d always thought that aside from being especially good at carrying things, it had no other advantages.

Then he discovered that Black Tortoise Academy had a cultivation manual specifically for turtle-type spirit beasts—the Turtle Shell Art.

After mastering it, turtle-type spirit beasts could project a turtle-shell-shaped spiritual shield, firmly protecting both themselves and their master.

Lu Taiping’s Xibi Turtle was high-grade, well-formed, and possessed excellent aptitude. Although it had only recently begun learning the Turtle Shell Art, the shield it condensed was extremely sturdy. Yu Feiqing had been attacking for quite some time, yet the shield hadn’t even cracked.

At its most intense, the shield merely trembled slightly—nothing more.

Yu Feiqing and his soul pets were panting heavily from exertion. But when they looked more closely, they discovered that inside the turtle-shell shield, Lu Taiping was actually fast asleep.

That nearly caused both master and pets to explode on the spot.

Si Er couldn’t help sighing. “Classmate Lu Taiping really has a big heart.”

Guagua laughed. “He didn’t dare sleep at first. But who told Yu Feiqing, that little trash, to attack for so long without being able to do anything to the shell?”

“He exhausted himself half to death. When Classmate Lu saw how weak he was, he felt safe enough to fall asleep.”

“Look at Xiaobai—usually so timid. Now it’s sleeping soundly too.”

Taking a closer look, Si Er saw the white Treasure-Seeking Mouse lying on Lu Taiping’s stomach in the exact same posture. Their breathing was nearly synchronized, creating an oddly warm and harmonious scene.

Si Er couldn’t help smiling. “They’re so cute when they sleep.”

Yu Feiqing nearly fainted from anger. To him, that one person and one mouse were infuriating—not cute in the slightest.

Yu Feiqing deeply hated the Si brothers, but he knew he wasn’t Si Er’s match. So when he saw Lu Taiping, he thought he’d found his chance for revenge.

Although he didn’t know Lu Taiping personally, he had seen footage on the plaza screen of Si Er and Si Xu deliberately going to look for him. From that, he learned they had a good relationship.

He figured that if he beat Lu Taiping up badly and eliminated him early, the Si brothers would surely be furious.

If they were angry, he’d be happy.

But who could have known that Lu Taiping would be so timid? The moment he sensed Yu Feiqing’s intent to attack, he immediately retreated into the turtle-shell shield—and no matter how Yu Feiqing struck it, he couldn’t break it.

Yu Feiqing kept cursing him as a cowardly turtle, but Lu Taiping was completely unmoved.

Lu Taiping was actually fairly popular at the academy and knew many upperclassmen.

They had told him that students from Black Tortoise Academy were often mocked as “cowardly turtles” when out and about.

But that was fine. In some sense, it was true. And if it was true, there was no reason to be angry.

Besides, being scolded a few times wouldn’t cost him any flesh. Resting inside the shell was comfortable—why bother arguing?

Lu Taiping thought that made perfect sense, so he accepted it wholeheartedly and lay flatter than anyone.

The angrier Yu Feiqing became, the flatter he lay.

Yu Feiqing was impulsive and hot-tempered. Once enraged, he lost all restraint.

He had accumulated a bellyful of anger at Lu Taiping. Now, seeing Si Er casually watching the spectacle, he redirected all his fury at him—completely forgetting how miserably he had been beaten by Si Er before.

He ordered his three soul pets to attack Si Er simultaneously. He believed he had lost last time mainly because he hadn’t had time to summon them.

Now they were already out, and their attack speed was fast. He refused to believe Si Er could dodge them.

Moreover, the turtle perched on Si Er’s head looked freshly hatched. Surely it couldn’t produce such a strong shield.

Before Si Er could even react, Mianmian atop his head opened its eyes and puffed out four bursts of white mist—puff puff puff puff.

Yu Feiqing and the three large birds collapsed instantly.

After finishing, Mianmian went right back to sleep, not even hearing Si Er’s praise.

“Mianmian is amazing.”

While praising it, Si Er bent down and pressed Yu Feiqing’s identity token, teleporting him and the three birds out together.

“Very good. A proper family should always be neat and tidy. Congratulations to their family of three on reuniting outside.”

The audience on Qingyun Plaza had been completely brainwashed by the phrase “family of three.” Now, whenever they saw Si Ran and the other two, their first thought was: family of three—two men and a dog.

Si Er was truly ruthless. Right at the start, without doing anything else, he singled out that “family of three” and eliminated them one by one, cutting off their source of income.

Although Si Ran came from a wealthy background and Yu Feiqing had some assets, most of Di Lintian’s resources weren’t applicable here.

Di Lintian had been hoping to make a profit during this competition—only to be sent out at the very beginning.

After eliminating the “family of three,” Si Er went over and knocked on Lu Taiping’s shield.

“Classmate Lu Taiping, wake up. Time to come out and work.”

Though his voice wasn’t soft, it was automatically dampened by the shield, and Lu Taiping didn’t respond at all.

Fortunately, the Xibi Turtle was reliable. It leaned over and headbutted Lu Taiping. He immediately sprang up.

“Xiao Hei, what are you doing?!”

“Do you know how heavy you are? That hit could’ve killed me!”

After shouting, he noticed Si Er standing outside the shield with a smile. Lu Taiping hurriedly had the turtle withdraw the barrier.

“Classmate Si Er, you saved me again.”

Si Er smiled. “Not really. Even if I hadn’t come, that little trash Yu Feiqing couldn’t have hurt you anyway.”

“That’s true,” Lu Taiping laughed. “But it was a waste of time. I wanted more time to treasure-hunt.”

Lu Taiping came from a rural background—barely better than a small mountain village. All cultivation resources had to be earned by himself.

But compared to resources, he valued his life more. So when he sensed danger, he hid inside the turtle-shell shield.

Even if it wasted some time, it was better than getting injured.

“Speaking of treasure-hunting…” Si Er leaned closer to the Treasure-Seeking Mouse in Lu Taiping’s hands. “Classmate Xiaobai, do you know where there are good things?”

The little white mouse nodded.

“Can you lead us there?”

It nodded again.

Si Er then asked Guagua, “Guagua, do you know which direction Xuanxuan is in? Let’s head that way first.”

“Over there!”

Guagua stretched a paw toward the north.

“Wow, Xuanxuan is amazing. In such a short time, he’s already found quite a few good things.”
