The True Young Master Saves the Soul Pet World by Eating Melons – CH27

Chapter 27: Si Er’s Past

After buying paint, the two of them went together to a curtain shop.

Inside the shop, Si Er ran into Si Xu again. At the moment, Si Xu was choosing curtains in the green section.

Si Er also thought green looked nice and quickly walked over. Yu Beixuan followed him almost instinctively.

Si Er turned back in confusion. “Doesn’t Student Yu like black? The black curtains are over on the other side.”

Yu Beixuan replied, “I occasionally want to look at other colors too.”

“Then go ahead and look. There are lots of beautiful colors here.”

Anyway, you’re just looking, not buying.

The room is already pitch-black. Besides black, white, or gray, hanging any other color of curtains would look strange, wouldn’t it?

I hope Student Yu will firmly stick to choosing black. Even though I don’t like things that dark, I can understand and respect it.

Black is fine—but it can’t be ugly.

Yu Beixuan: …

His sense of color aesthetics seemed worlds apart from Si Er’s. Si Er appeared to like every color in the world; he simply chose what matched best.

But in Yu Beixuan’s eyes, the items Si Er bought were already colorful enough.

To have more in common with Si Er, Yu Beixuan decided that starting today, he would try liking other colors too—such as a “multicolored black.”

Si Er would have his vibrant colors, and he would still have his beloved black. Perfect.

“Si Er, you’re here too?”

Si Xu was delighted to see him and quickly waved.

“Mhm!” Si Er was also inexplicably happy to see Si Xu—so happy it felt as though this person truly were his elder brother.

He couldn’t help feeling puzzled.

Why am I so happy seeing Si Xu? Is the power of blood ties really that magical?

We’ve never even met before. And my soul isn’t the original owner’s soul…

What he meant was that his soul wasn’t the original body owner’s, so he shouldn’t be feeling this way.

The original body’s soul-sea had been destroyed when he was young, turning him into a fool. He wouldn’t have retained any longing for family affection—he didn’t understand such things at all.

He had been raised on scraps of kindness from a village family. Sometimes magical beasts would even bring him food.

He understood nothing. He didn’t even know to look for food when hungry—he would simply wait for someone to bring him something to eat.

Then one day, trouble struck the village. All the villagers temporarily left, and the magical beasts also hid away. He starved to death like that.

However, for certain reasons, this entire portion was censored. Si Xu and Yu Beixuan only heard a string of garbled noise.

Yu Beixuan was puzzled, thinking: What language was that? Does Si Er also speak beast language?

Si Er felt a bit down thinking about the original body.

That night, Si Xu went home and had a dream.

In his dream, his mother’s death in childbirth had not been an accident. Someone had bribed the maid by his mother’s side, causing her to go into premature labor while taking a walk outside.

When she gave birth prematurely, only that bribed maid was with her.

The maid tampered with things during delivery. After giving birth to the third brother, their mother passed away. The real third brother was swapped and taken away.

Si Xu couldn’t see clearly who took his brother—only that the person’s outline felt familiar and their methods were ruthless.

First, the person crippled the third brother’s soul-sea, then threw him into the water and summoned a swarm of piranha-like beasts.

Thinking the child was doomed, the person turned and left without another glance.

Yet the piranhas did not eat him. Instead, they carried him to a safe shallow shore. Soon after, a seventh-tier great bird picked him up and carried him to a distant mountain city.

That entire city was remote, but it had many tranquil little mountain villages with simple, honest folk.

Seeing how adorable the third brother was, the villagers took turns feeding him milk. When he grew older, they all brought him food together.

Though no household was wealthy, if each family spared a single mouthful of grain, they could raise the child.

He didn’t eat well, yet he grew up beautifully—the most good-looking child in the entire village.

Even as a fool with a destroyed soul-sea, he remained the most beloved child in the village. Every magical beast there liked him too.

But one day, a villager working outside failed to return. The entire village set out together with their soul pets to seek justice. They were gone for many days.

Before leaving, they were afraid Si Er would go hungry and left him plenty of food.

Not long after they left, however, a maddened fiend-beast barged into the village. It frightened all nearby magical beasts into hiding.

It trampled many houses and devoured the beasts that hadn’t hidden in time. It even intended to eat Si Er.

But when it approached him, it suddenly regained a bit of clarity. In the end, it only ate the food beside him.

The fiend-beast left. Si Er was safe—yet he starved to death.

Si Xu was frantic with anguish. He wanted to rush over, to take his true little brother home, to place every delicious dish in front of him.

But though it was his dream, he could do nothing. He could only watch helplessly as Si Er collapsed.

He watched Si Er’s breathing grow weaker and weaker—until it stopped entirely.

He was almost jolted awake in shock when he saw a transparent phantom appear beside Si Er. The phantom looked exactly like him.

As if drawn by the body, the phantom was instantly absorbed into it. Soon, the body began breathing again and slowly opened its eyes.

The once clear yet vacant eyes became lively and intelligent. The formerly dull face brimmed with spirited brilliance.

It was the Si Er he now knew.

Si Xu was stunned, not understanding what had happened. But a voice in his heart told him: the present Si Er was his brother—his true brother, whole and complete.

Because of the mishap at birth, his brother’s soul and body had long been separated.

But on that day, his brother’s soul finally returned, making him a complete Si Er.

His brother didn’t know any of this, and there was no need to tell him.

When the time came for Si Er to know, he would naturally learn everything.

At the same time, in Dongyao City, City Lord Si—and the eldest brother, Si Yi, who was training in an unknown mountain forest—had the same dream.

The three awoke simultaneously, gasping for breath. Thinking of Si Er’s ignorant and innocent childhood, their hearts ached unbearably.

Si Yi didn’t hesitate. That very night, he left the forest, mounted a great bird wreathed in flames, and flew toward Central City.

His dear younger brother seemed rather adorable. But he had only just gained awareness—he likely wouldn’t stand a chance against Si Ran, that black-hearted lotus.

He had better go watch over him.
