The True Young Master Saves the Soul Pet World by Eating Melons – CH181

Chapter 181: Differences in Aesthetic Taste

Although I can list many advantages if I analyze it carefully, the biggest reason is still…

I just feel happy whenever I see Xuanxuan!

There are so many good-looking people in the world, but I only like someone like Xuanxuan.

Yu Beixuan’s counting station was not very far from Si Er’s. Whether it was Si Er’s conversation with Guagua or the thoughts in his heart, he heard them clearly.

At first, only the tips of his ears turned red. By the end, even his cheeks were lightly flushed.

The senior students tallying his items kept shaking their heads, thinking Yu Beixuan was really too much.

He had swept away so many water- and ice-attribute resources, forming a sharp contrast with their own harvest back in the day and greatly increasing their workload.

And yet he refused to sit quietly, idly stroking what looked like a very cute little black cat while staring fixedly in a certain direction.

Out of curiosity, the counting staff followed his gaze.

There they saw a clean and handsome young man sitting comfortably, cracking sunflower seeds. A rabbit rested in his arms, and a squirrel perched on his knees. The scene looked extremely pleasant.

If not for the little green mushroom sitting on top of the boy’s head, the picture would have been even more beautiful.

At that moment, they assumed Yu Beixuan had feelings for the boy—but they doubted the boy felt the same.

After all, he hadn’t even glanced this way, completely absorbed in playing with the soul pets.

As tallying staff, they had to memorize the exchange tables. In order to complete their task smoothly and receive their rewards, they had been studying those tables nonstop, paying little attention to the water mirror’s images. Naturally, they did not know these two had a rather ambiguous relationship.

Only when Si Er and Guagua’s conversation reached their ears did they realize—these two definitely had something going on!

One had even confessed across the distance!

The only clowns were themselves.

Si Er had wanted to keep things low-key with Yu Beixuan, but he did not know his thoughts could leak out. He also kept forgetting that in this world, many people possessed powerful soul force.

Even when he deliberately lowered his voice while chatting with Guagua, many still heard them.

Si Er instinctively glanced toward Yu Beixuan and saw him smiling and waving. His little tiger fangs sparkled in the sunlight.

That smile dazzled Si Er. He could not help waving back, his eyes and brows curving into a grin.

The pink parrot also looked over. “So you like this type?”

Si Er’s face reddened slightly. “Yes. I think he’s very cute.”

The pink parrot nearly fluffed up in alarm, deeply questioning Si Er’s taste.

The aesthetics of exotic beasts and humans were ultimately different. In human eyes, both Si Er and Yu Beixuan belonged to the top tier of beauty. But in the pink parrot’s eyes, Si Er was extremely pleasing, while Yu Beixuan was extremely frightening.

Beasts did not only look at appearance—they also perceived aura and a kind of indescribable affinity.

For example, Si Er possessed great affinity toward all exotic beasts. Even dark-attribute creatures would not dislike him upon sight.

Yu Beixuan, on the other hand, was highly welcomed among dark-attribute beings. Light-attribute creatures felt indifferent toward him, while beasts and plants of other attributes instinctively felt uneasy in his presence.

So in the pink parrot’s view, Si Er choosing Yu Beixuan was a rather terrifying matter.

The little squirrel also found it somewhat scary, though it could not speak and could only shake its head in confusion.

Guagua waved a paw with an air of maturity. “Don’t make such a fuss. He’s just dark attribute. It’s not that scary.”

“And he’s sitting over there. He can’t come over anytime soon. What are you afraid of?”

The pink parrot and little squirrel felt that made sense. The squirrel promptly began cracking walnuts diligently for Si Er, while the parrot continued gossiping.

The counting staff member looked up in disbelief. She had never imagined her own squirrel could crack walnuts for someone else—why had it never done that for her?

Ahhh! This squirrel was unbearable!

But its appearance matched her aesthetic perfectly, and their soul compatibility was very high. She could not bear to part with it.

What she could not understand was—if their compatibility was as high as 88%, how could it still be more affectionate toward someone else?

Could it be that this junior’s compatibility with the squirrel was even higher?

Si Er felt that he would be nailed to this spot for the next few days.

Fortunately, more and more exotic beasts gathered around him, and their antics grew increasingly varied, so he did not feel bored.

However, most of these beasts were the soul pets of the tallying staff, who were on the verge of coughing up blood.

They were working tirelessly to inventory Si Er’s harvest and calculate his points, yet their soul pets not only failed to comfort or encourage them—they circled around Si Er, currying favor!

It would have been one thing if they only massaged his shoulders and legs or told him stories. But quite a few even took out their treasured collections and offered them up to him!

Even the four deans watching the scene felt a mixture of envy and jealousy.

The Azure Dragon Dean shook his head repeatedly. “What kind of physique is that? Could he be the legendary Beast God?”

The White Tiger Dean snorted. “What nonsense are you spouting? The Beast God is mostly recorded in the Cang Beast Continent—supposedly a two-winged dragon with multicolored feathers and scales, each color representing an attribute.”

“But Si Er is only light attribute. What does he have to do with the Beast God?”

The Black Tortoise Dean nodded. “The Beast God is the god of all beasts on the Cang Beast Continent, the source of all beasts there. Even if it were to reincarnate, it would return there—not to a wasteland like ours.”

The Vermilion Bird Dean mused, “But the beasts he’s contracted are rather colorful. Although white is still the majority, but…”

The other three deans exchanged glances and silently shifted farther away from him.

The Vermilion Bird Dean’s fiery hair instantly stood straight up again. He took a deep breath and forced it down.

This would not do. He had to find a way to restore his reputation—or those three would isolate him completely.

Soon, a day passed.

Wu Li’s tallying had already finished. After greeting Si Er and the others, she returned to the White Tiger Academy’s team.

The White Tiger Dean now regarded her with great fondness. He felt vindicated in his earlier decision—using his private funds to recruit this special student had truly brought him honor.

“Good child, our White Tiger Academy secured second place this time entirely thanks to you!”

The other freshmen’s scores were similar to previous years. The biggest variable had been Si Er’s group.

With the Bright Moon Holy Rabbit and the Treasure-Seeking Mouse, entering the Greater Four Symbols Mountain was like strolling through their own backyard. Whatever they wanted, they could practically pluck at will—frightening indeed.

Without those four, Wu Li might have taken first place this time.

But with them present, she had managed to benefit a little as well.

The White Tiger Dean could not help cackling with delight.

For years, his dream had been to surpass the Azure Dragon Academy. This time, he had finally achieved it.

Even if they had been overtaken by the Black Tortoise Academy, as long as their ranking improved, it did not matter much.
