The True Young Master Saves the Soul Pet World by Eating Melons – CH190

Chapter 190: The Clever Thorn Bird

The Greenwood Flood Dragon naturally knew the competition rules. It also knew that Yu Feiqing was extremely dissatisfied with it right now.

But it didn’t care. After all, it was even more dissatisfied with Yu Feiqing!

That damned human had dared to deceive it—he should pay the proper price!

Besides, in its opinion, if Yu Feiqing continued staying on the stage, sooner or later he would be beaten to death by Si Xu and the others.

He had absolutely no chance of turning things around. If he didn’t concede, was he just waiting to be finished off?

By conceding for him, wasn’t it clearly saving his life?

Thinking that it had become Yu Feiqing’s lifesaving dragon, the Greenwood Flood Dragon straightened its back proudly.

Yu Feiqing had no idea what the flood dragon was thinking, but he knew very clearly that he now hated it to the core.

How could there be a soul pet in this world that stabbed its master in the back? It was utterly despicable!

If he hadn’t already been exhausted from the ordeal, he would definitely have punished that flood dragon severely.

He had long noticed that the Greenwood Flood Dragon was difficult to control, but that was fine. The Yu family had a special method for training loyalty in soul pets. Sooner or later, he would make that dragon completely obedient.

Up in the clouds, the Thorn Bird realized the match had ended and hurriedly flew down.

Earlier it had known Yu Feiqing wouldn’t be in good shape, but seeing it with its own eyes still gave it a fright.

It whispered to the Greenwood Flood Dragon, “You didn’t help him at all?”

The flood dragon lazily flicked its tail. “Weren’t you the same?”

“I would’ve been useless even if I tried! Qing Ye’s fire is too powerful. I’m not its opponent right now. As the saying goes, a wise bird knows the times—I was preserving my strength and reducing losses!”

The Greenwood Flood Dragon continued swaying its tail. “I was diligently attacking that Green-Haired Turtle the whole time!”

“It’s just that its defense is too strong. What could I do?”

“That’s not my fault. Even if Flame Bird or Gold-Seeking Tiger had come, they still wouldn’t have broken through those old turtles’ defenses.”

“My situation is the same as yours—just like you can’t beat the Medicine Spirit Bird, and the Thousand-Mile Eagle can’t beat the Sky-Shrouding Eagle.”

“But he won’t believe that! He may be a bootlicker, but he’s not stupid. As long as it doesn’t involve Si Ran, his brain still functions normally.”

The Thorn Bird lowered its voice and offered advice. “After today, you’ll definitely be punished. But you’re good with words—play it up, act pitiful, try to smooth things over.”

“That way the punishment will be lighter.”

The Thousand-Mile Eagle also muttered softly, “Isn’t this wrong? Xiao Qing is our soul master after all. He’s raised us for so many years…”

The Thorn Bird immediately transmitted a message to it, “But the Greenwood Flood Dragon is different from us. It was tricked into contracting. It already dislikes Xiao Qing. If Xiao Qing punishes it harshly, what if it rebels in the future?”

If a soul pet is willing to sacrifice half its life just to break the contract, there’s nothing the soul master can do—and the master would also lose half their life in the process.

The Thousand-Mile Eagle wasn’t very clever and was quickly persuaded.

The Thorn Bird then continued advising the flood dragon on various little tricks to evade punishment.

Guagua found the conversation amusing and relayed it to Si Er.

Si Er was speechless. “That Thorn Bird is truly flexible.”

“Yes, but the Yu family’s punishment methods for soul pets are really harsh. If after being tortured the soul pet still refuses to obey, they even resort to drugs.”

Si Er frowned. “What kind of drug?”

Guagua replied, “Soul-Scattering Powder. Once a soul pet takes it, its mind becomes duller and its obedience greatly increases.”

“For example, Yu Feiqing’s Thousand-Mile Eagle has taken it before. The Thorn Bird personally witnessed it being force-fed the drug and developed a deep fear because of it.”

“It doesn’t want other soul pets to suffer the same fate, so it keeps advising the flood dragon, hoping it can escape this ordeal.”

Si Er couldn’t help frowning. “Isn’t the relationship between soul pet and soul master supposed to be a mutual choice? How can they use such forceful methods?”

He loved animals deeply and found this hard to accept.

Si Xu said calmly, “In the ancient Cang Beast Continent, there were many methods to control spirit beasts. The Yu family’s techniques were likely passed down from that era.”

“Later, when our Ten Thousand Beast Continent was abandoned, humans and spirit beasts supported each other through those difficult times.”

“If both sides hadn’t cooperated closely, we might not have survived to this day.”

“But as time passed, some people reverted to their old ways and couldn’t resist using harsh measures again.”

“Even though the situation on the Ten Thousand Beast Continent remains grim, they ignore that. They care only about immediate gain.”

“That’s the Yu family.”

As he spoke, a trace of disgust appeared in Si Xu’s eyes.

Si Er said indignantly, “People like that don’t deserve soul pets at all!”

Guagua nodded vigorously. “Exactly! If only we could help those soul pets terminate their contracts.”

“But even if the contracts were broken, the Yu family would just contract other spirit beasts. The tragedy would repeat itself.”

Guagua sighed, its long ears drooping.

It sympathized with Yu Feiqing’s soul pets, but breaking the contract would only treat the symptom, not the root cause.

And contracts weren’t so easy to dissolve.

Break the contract…?

Si Er fell into deep thought.

I feel like I’ve seen something about that before… but where?

Many people who heard his inner voice instinctively hugged their soul pets tighter, growing nervous.

Surely not—could there really be a way in this world to help others break soul contracts?

That would be too heaven-defying.

Si Er hadn’t pondered for long before Yu Beixuan’s match against Di Lintian was about to begin. He and Yu Beixuan hurried toward the corresponding arena.

Both moved swiftly and agilely. Even while holding hands, they weaved effortlessly through the crowd.

Si Xu couldn’t keep up with them and felt slightly annoyed.

“If you’re running that fast, why are you still holding hands? Is it absolutely necessary?”

And weren’t they supposed to keep it low-key? If they couldn’t even let go of each other’s hands, how could it possibly stay underground?

Si Xu truly didn’t understand.

The Green-Haired Turtle, now shrunken and perched on Si Xu’s shoulder, comforted him, “Young people. It’s perfectly normal. So lively.”
