The True Young Master Saves the Soul Pet World by Eating Melons – CH154

Chapter 154: Just the Two of Us

For the next two days, things went more or less the same. Guagua sensed the locations of the Four Symbols Tokens, then sent Mengmeng and Yu Beixuan’s wolf, eagle, and tiger to retrieve them.

After leaving Black Tortoise Mountain, Si Er and Yu Beixuan stopped cultivating. The other three mountains weren’t suitable for Yu Beixuan’s cultivation anyway.

Si Er, on the other hand, could cultivate anywhere—but without someone keeping him company, he just couldn’t muster the motivation.

When they were at Azure Dragon Mountain, he dragged Yu Beixuan down onto the soft grass to sunbathe together.

The climate at Azure Dragon Mountain was wonderful—warm and cozy, like a gentle spring afternoon.

The moment Si Er lay down on the grass, he began to feel drowsy.

Although being in the wilderness kept him alert, the presence of Guagua, Benben, and Yu Beixuan gave him a strong sense of security.

Before he knew it, he had fallen asleep, his head tilting to rest against Yu Beixuan’s shoulder.

Yu Beixuan turned his head and carefully stroked Si Er’s soft hair. He kept doing so for quite a while, not finding it boring in the least.

Guagua, however, watched while yawning repeatedly, inwardly complaining that Yu Beixuan had neither the heart of a thief nor the courage of one.

Was this the “elementary-school romance” Er’er had once mentioned? Aside from wanting to stick together, they couldn’t think of anything else to do.

Even when touching his hair, he only dared lightly stroke the ends—he didn’t even dare touch the scalp.

Si Xu, who was riding his Sky-Obscuring Condor and chasing after Yu Bei Eagle, saw this scene and fell silent. For the first time, he realized that Yu Beixuan seemed a bit cowardly.

He had always known Yu Beixuan harbored improper intentions toward his younger brother. He suspected his brother knew as well—he simply permitted Yu Beixuan’s closeness.

Because Si Er allowed it, Si Xu didn’t want to be an annoying older brother, so he refrained from interfering.

But when he learned that Si Er clearly could locate him, yet never came to find him and instead focused solely on enjoying a two-person world with Yu Beixuan, Si Xu couldn’t help coming over.

Who would’ve thought he’d see a Yu Beixuan with neither thieving heart nor thieving guts?

Si Xu found it rather novel.

He had the Sky-Obscuring Condor land. Yu Beixuan glanced up and quickly withdrew his hand.

“Second Brother!”

Si Xu’s eyelid twitched. “You’ve got the wrong person. I’m not your second brother.”

“What are you and Er’er doing here?”

Yu Beixuan lowered his voice. “Nothing much. Er’er thought the environment and climate here were nice—perfect for resting—so he fell asleep.”

Si Xu asked again, “Then why were you fiddling with Er’er’s hair the whole time? Was there grass stuck in it?”

Yu Beixuan hadn’t expected the other party to hand him an excuse directly, so he nodded. “Yes…”

Si Xu: “……”

Si Xu couldn’t help rolling his eyes at him, the look clearly saying, Do I look like an idiot to you?

He lowered his voice again. “How far have you and Er’er progressed?”

“Ah?”

Yu Beixuan hadn’t expected Si Xu to be so blunt and was instantly dumbfounded.

But remembering that Si Er didn’t want their relationship exposed for now, he hurriedly shook his head. “Er’er and I are just classmates!”

Afraid Si Xu might be unhappy, he added, “Er’er said so.”

Guagua raised a paw at the side. “I can testify—it was indeed Er’er who said it.”

After speaking, it hopped onto Si Xu’s shoulder and whispered into his ear, “Er’er and Xuanxuan are secretly dating, but he thinks he’s still a bit young. He plans to go public after he turns eighteen.”

Si Xu suddenly felt that Si Er’s train of thought was rather unusual.

“Eighteen isn’t that old.”

Guagua nodded. “I think there’s not much difference between eighteen and his current age either. But Er’er likes eighteen—maybe it’s a special number to him.”

“The two of them only hug, hold hands, and then cultivate, cultivate, cultivate…”

“There hasn’t even been a kiss. Xuxu, you don’t need to worry.”

Si Xu smiled. “Alright. With you saying that, I’m relieved.”

Yu Beixuan was speechless. Relieved about what? Did he think he wouldn’t steal a kiss when Si Xu wasn’t paying attention?

Though he made that bold declaration inwardly, the moment he imagined kissing Er’er, his heart began pounding wildly, as if it might leap out of his throat at any second.

He couldn’t help pressing a hand over his chest. When he lowered his head, he saw Si Er looking at him curiously.

“Xuanxuan, why are you covering your chest? Did something go wrong with your cultivation?”

Yu Beixuan hurriedly replied, “No, no. I was just a little nervous. Just patting it a bit.”

“Nervous about what…”

Si Er’s gaze swept over—and landed on Si Xu standing nearby, watching him with a half-smile.

Si Er sprang up like a carp flipping over. “Second Brother, why are you here?”

“Oh? Am I disturbing your and Yu Beixuan’s little two-person world?” Si Xu still wore that half-smiling expression.

Si Er let out an awkward laugh. “Of course not! It’s not like it’s just me and Xuanxuan here. Aren’t Guagua, Benben, Mianmian, and Yu Bei Turtle here too?”

At that point, even Si Er found it terrifying.

It feels like the Beast Continent is a world where a two-person world is fundamentally impossible!

Everyone here has at least one soul pet. When two people fall in love, there are at least two third wheels between them!

And Xuanxuan and I have even more pets. Together we already have ten third wheels, right?

In the future, should we just open a shop selling light bulbs? We’ll probably contract even more soul pets.

Si Xu wanted to laugh. At first, he didn’t quite understand what “light bulb” meant, but after hearing it several times, he got it—something very obstructive, right?

They really were quite obstructive. He’d heard that sometimes, when certain masters were in the process of “making little people,” soul pets would sneak out to observe when their masters weren’t paying attention.

So at times like that, a soul pet master’s control over their soul pets became especially important.

Si Xu was amused inwardly but kept a serious face. “Even if it can’t be a true two-person world, it’s close enough, isn’t it?”

“With Guagua around, finding me shouldn’t be hard, right? Why would you rather nap here with classmate Yu Beixuan than come look for me?”

That sounds a bit ambiguous… Sleeping together with classmate Yu Beixuan makes it sound like something already happened.

But Xuanxuan and I are still pure love for now.

Si Er’s thoughts ran wild, but he forced an awkward smile. “How could that be? I just thought the environment here was perfect for sleeping, so I couldn’t help dozing off. There were no other intentions.”

“And I actually think this place suits you, Second Brother! I thought you might find some opportunity here, so I didn’t want to disturb you.”

“What opportunity could there be here? Even if there were, it’s not something we’re allowed to touch.” Si Xu shot him a sideways glance. “Did you forget the competition rules?”

“Of course not. I just thought… maybe some opportunities might automatically drill themselves into someone’s body?”

“You’re dreaming.”

Si Xu couldn’t help knocking him lightly on the head.
