The True Young Master Saves the Soul Pet World by Eating Melons – CH185

Chapter 185: Watching the Cockfight

After Si Ran was taken away, Si Er nimbly jumped down from the platform.

Yu Beixuan had been waiting beside the stage all along. Seeing Si Er leap down, he immediately reached out his hand.

Si Er could not help but smile. Grasping Yu Beixuan’s hand, he hopped lightly to his side.

“Xuanxuan, let’s go watch the cockfight!”

“Alright.”

Si Er blinked. “You’re not going to ask what kind of cockfight?”

Yu Beixuan smiled gently. “Whatever Er-Er wants to watch, I’ll watch with you.”

“Xuanxuan is the best!”

Si Er was just about to drag him away when he noticed Si Xu standing nearby. He quickly let out an awkward laugh and waved at him.

“Second Brother is great too.”

Si Xu: “……”

Tsk. This younger brother may still be small, but he already can’t be kept at home.

“Good, good. At least you haven’t completely forgotten me. Thank heavens.”

Si Er laughed even more guiltily. “Second Brother is joking. How could I forget you?”

Guilty as he felt, he still held Yu Beixuan’s hand and forgot to let go.

Si Xu glanced down at their intertwined hands. Remembering that his younger brother wanted to keep things low-key, he sighed and pretended not to see anything.

Forget it. As long as Er-Er is happy.

If he says it’s a secret romance, then so be it.

The three of them left together. Lu Taiping had originally been smiling at the interaction between the Si brothers, but when he realized none of them had noticed him, he stopped smiling immediately.

He had clearly come over with Si Xu and Yu Beixuan!

Lu Taiping hurried after them, walking shoulder to shoulder with Si Xu. Only then did Si Xu glance back.

“Oh? Classmate Lu, you’re here too?”

“Yes!”

Lu Taiping forced a smile but failed.

Too much. This is really too much!

One has eyes only for his younger brother, and the other two only have eyes for each other. In this group of four, he is destined to be forgotten.

Soon, they arrived at the cockfighting platform.

Looking up, Si Er saw two large roosters battling fiercely.

The Flame Chicken had a crest like blazing fire, and its tail burned bright red. The rest of its feathers were orange-yellow, making the whole bird look like a ball of flame—quite handsome.

The Thunder-Eye Chicken, on the other hand, had dark purple feathers. Its eyes crackled with lightning from time to time, giving it the look of a villainous chicken.

From the moment they laid eyes on each other, they had disliked one another. Now they fought mercilessly, feathers flying everywhere.

Most soul masters were physically weaker. In this type of battle, they could only stand at opposite ends of the platform to prevent their opponent from launching soul attacks.

These two were the same. After confirming neither planned to ambush the other, they relaxed and followed the drifting feathers with their eyes, their faces revealing faint expressions of distress.

Si Er completely understood that look.

Of course they feel distressed. These two chickens are both high quality. Their feathers can be exchanged for soul stones. Letting them fall like this is such a waste.

The two soul masters on stage silently agreed.

Look at them—they know it’s a pity too. So why aren’t they picking up the feathers? Isn’t that just saving face while suffering loss?

Feathers like these could even be made into feather dusters that function as artifacts!

Face is often empty. Only benefits in your hand are real.

And does not picking them up really save face? Wouldn’t people call them fools instead? Not even picking up soul stones that fall to the ground?

That makes sense!

The two on stage suddenly understood and began picking up the feathers dropped by their respective soul pets.

Si Er noticed they were quite polite—each collected their own feathers. When they nearly bumped into each other, they courteously stepped aside to gather from another spot.

“Isn’t this a bit too polite?” Si Er was stunned. “I’ve never seen such a harmonious competition.”

Guagua nodded. “They’re both soft-hearted types. What a coincidence.”

“One is from Vermilion Bird Academy and the other from White Tiger Academy. Their deans and most classmates have rather fiery tempers, but these two happen to be the gentlest.”

“That is quite a coincidence,” Si Er sighed. “Though one is fire attribute and the other lightning attribute—having such good tempers is rare.”

Guagua shook his head. “Attribute is attribute, personality is personality. They influence each other somewhat, but not that much.”

“After all, many elements are versatile.”

Si Er agreed. “True. Everything has two sides. Fire can illuminate and keep warm—but it can also burn people to death.”

“But lightning…”

Although it’s hard to imagine lightning without violence, personality and attribute don’t have to match.

Like Xuanxuan. Even with dark attribute, his smile is quite sunny.

Sunny? Him?

Yu Beixuan fell into brief contemplation—lasting less than three seconds before accepting it.

If Er-Er says so, then it must be true. He is indeed sunny!

Si Xu and Lu Taiping both heard Si Er’s outrageous inner thoughts and then saw Yu Beixuan nodding in agreement. Their expressions became complicated.

Si Xu felt that although Er-Er could be right about many things, Yu Beixuan still needed a bit of self-awareness.

Lu Taiping thought Si Er’s filter was far too thick—but to be fair, Yu Beixuan’s appearance was indeed somewhat deceptive. He himself had once thought Yu Beixuan’s smile was adorable.

Meanwhile, the two chickens continued fighting.

Their strength was evenly matched, and after a long time, no winner had emerged.

Si Er frowned. “Are they not going to use their ultimate moves? They just flap around and peck each other. I can only think of one phrase.”

Guagua asked curiously, “What phrase?”

“Two amateurs pecking at each other.”

Guagua nodded seriously. “Indeed quite amateurish. I could knock them both out with one punch.”

Si Er’s thoughts wandered again. “Speaking of dishes, suddenly I feel these two chickens would be delicious if cooked!”

“One stewed in soup, one roasted. Just thinking about it smells good.”

The two chickens on stage froze, feathers bristling.

What kind of talk is that? Truly neck-chilling!

Better end this quickly. If that pale-faced boy keeps watching, what if he develops ulterior motives?

The Flame Chicken leapt high into the air, flapping its wings and launching two blazing fireballs at the Thunder-Eye Chicken.

Flames quickly engulfed its opponent, igniting its feathers.

The Thunder-Eye Chicken grew furious. It glared viciously, and purple lightning shot toward the Flame Chicken in clusters.

No matter how the Flame Chicken dodged, it was useless. Lightning was inherently fast, and the Thunder-Eye Chicken’s eyes remained locked onto it. Wherever it ran, the lightning struck accurately.

In the end, the Thunder-Eye Chicken was burned bald, reduced to a featherless bird.

The Flame Chicken was charred black, smoke rising from its body. Its once bright feathers now looked ashen.

It collapsed on the ground, twitching slightly—clearly numbed by electricity.

Victory belonged to the Thunder-Eye Chicken, for it could still stand.

Si Er sighed. “What a satisfying cockfight. Though rather costly in feathers. One is sparse now, the other completely bald.”

On stage, both chickens—victor and defeated alike—looked dejected, mourning the feathers they had lost.
