The True Young Master Saves the Soul Pet World by Eating Melons – CH166

Chapter 166: Lacking Virtue

Si Er couldn’t help asking, “What’s your master’s gender?”

“Of course she’s the most beautiful, cutest, gentlest, and kindest girl in the entire world!”

Yu Bei Eagle nodded. “That figures. Anyone who’d contract a Misfortunate Crow like you must be kind.”

The Misfortunate Crow bristled. “What’s wrong with Misfortunate Crows? I’m very useful, okay?”

“I’m the kind of Misfortunate Crow that makes all top-tier spirit beasts keep their distance!”

As it said this, the Misfortunate Crow proudly puffed out its chest.

Guagua couldn’t help but sigh to Si Er through voice transmission.

[It’s such a confident little jinx. The proudest Misfortunate Crow I’ve ever seen.]

Guagua baby, how old are you? You haven’t even seen one before, have you?

[But through it, I can sense many other Misfortunate Crows. This kind of spirit beast is rare, but they do have a clan—just with a very small population.]

[According to my inherited memories, Misfortunate Crows have always been proud. In ancient times, their curse abilities were terrifying. Many people wanted to contract one just to curse their enemies to death.]

[But later, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth grew thinner, everyone’s talent and strength declined. The Misfortunate Crow’s curses became increasingly restricted, so they ended up a bit… useless.]

[The elders of this one’s clan were mostly despised and mocked. It’s so proud now because its master loves praising it.]

[At first, that girl praised it just to soothe its tender, easily hurt little heart—so it wouldn’t feel so inferior.]

[But she probably overdid it. Now it’s not just free of inferiority—it’s arrogant beyond limits.]

[It currently believes it’s the one and only unparalleled, peerlessly beautiful bird in all heaven and earth.]

Si Er was stunned.

What kind of praise turns someone into this? That girl named Wu Li is seriously talented!

After hearing Guagua, Yu Beixuan felt secretly relieved. Good thing he hadn’t adopted such a gentle, doting method of raising spirit pets.

Otherwise, with his bloodline-strong, talent-rich, and powerful soul beasts, wouldn’t they float even higher than this Misfortunate Crow?

This crow was already floating at a “needs a beating” level. If Yu Bei Eagle became like that too, Yu Beixuan felt he might not be able to resist plucking out every single feather.

Yu Bei Eagle at least had some sense of shame. If it lost all its feathers, it probably wouldn’t dare go outside—what would be the difference from streaking?

Si Er tugged Yu Beixuan’s hand. “Xuanxuan, should we settle the grievance between these two birds first? I feel like Yu Bei Eagle is in real danger.”

Yu Beixuan fell into thought.

On one hand, he felt Si Er made sense. No matter what Si Er said, it was definitely reasonable.

On the other hand, Yu Bei Eagle hadn’t really done anything wrong by sticking to its own aesthetic preferences. It shouldn’t have to apologize just like that.

After all, it was only expressing its opinion. It hadn’t known a crow would suddenly fly over.

If Yu Bei Eagle wasn’t at fault, then making it apologize would be like slapping his own face.

After a moment’s hesitation, Yu Beixuan told Si Er what he thought.

Si Er smiled. “I didn’t think it through. I only remembered them bickering and forgot the whole cause and effect.”

After thinking for a moment, Si Er took out a small piece of Soul-Nourishing Hami Melon and handed it to the Misfortunate Crow.

“How about this? I’ll give you this piece of melon. From now on, don’t curse any of us—humans or beasts, alright?”

The Misfortunate Crow immediately focused on the key point, its gaze dropping to the top of Si Er’s head.

Si Er quickly added, “And all mushrooms too!”

“Deal!”

The Misfortunate Crow wasn’t entirely willing, but it really wanted that piece of melon. After a short internal struggle, it agreed.

Yu Bei Eagle felt Si Er was giving too much. “Er’er…”

Knowing his pet best, Yu Beixuan decisively pinched Yu Bei Eagle’s beak shut, not allowing it to voice any opinions.

If it were any other spirit beast, Yu Beixuan would have simply beaten it into submission.

But not a Misfortunate Crow! Crows held grudges. If he really beat it, it would probably seize every opportunity to curse him later. That would be troublesome.

The piece of melon Si Er gave wasn’t even a tenth of a whole fruit. In exchange for all of them and all their soul pets not being cursed, Yu Beixuan thought it was a good deal.

Guagua reminded the Misfortunate Crow, “If you want the melon, swear an oath first.”

Even though the Heavenly Dao here worked inconsistently, it was safer to make it swear.

After all, in some ways, Misfortunate Crows were rather favored by the Heavenly Dao.

The Misfortunate Crow quickly made the oath and then chomped through the entire piece of melon in a few crunchy bites.

Seeing both sides reconciled, Si Er was about to part ways with it—but unexpectedly, it followed after them.

Si Er asked in confusion, “Why are you following us?”

The Misfortunate Crow shook its head. “Nothing special. I got separated from my master, so I’ll stick with you for now.”

Guagua quickly warned, “Er’er, don’t listen to its nonsense. It sees that we have good luck and wants to mooch off it.”

“Misfortunate Crows may often bring misfortune, but they can tell who has good luck and who doesn’t.”

“For them, sticking with someone lucky makes it less likely they’ll accidentally hurt others.”

“Some Misfortunate Crows are naturally sharp-tongued. Sometimes they don’t even mean to curse someone, but what they say comes out almost like a curse.”

“If they stick with someone lucky, they won’t accidentally harm that person.”

“Under that person’s good fortune, they might not harm others—or themselves—either.”

“I bet its master Wu Li is the lucky type. Even if she isn’t that lucky, she can probably dispel bad luck.”

Si Er smiled. “Isn’t that a good thing? It means it’s kind at heart—looking for someone to restrain itself.”

Guagua sighed. “But Misfortunate Crows can also be pretty unscrupulous. They look for a master to reduce accidental harm.”

“But once they have a master, they can’t resist doing selfish things.”

“For example, mooching off our good luck, finding treasures, and then giving everything to its master.”

“If it’s even more unscrupulous, it might curse the treasures we find so they fall out of our hands—then pick them up itself.”

Si Er: “……”

That level of unscrupulousness… isn’t too bad, I guess? At least it doesn’t hurt people?

Still, better not. I don’t feel like making wedding clothes for someone else.

“It probably even deliberately cut off contact with its master and ran off alone to leech off others’ luck.”

Yu Beixuan said expressionlessly, “In that case, I’ll beat it up now. It already swore an oath.”

“Caw?” The Misfortunate Crow was shocked. “You humans are so cunning! You made me swear just so you could beat me now?”

Si Er laughed. “Of course not. As long as you leave us obediently, we won’t hit you.”
