The True Young Master Saves the Soul Pet World by Eating Melons – CH50

Chapter 50: Potion Class

The instructor teaching their potion class was named Jian Ranran. Because she was sweet-looking and adorable, and appeared very young, everyone affectionately called her Instructor Ranran.

Si Er looked at Instructor Ranran with delight.

Coming to Xuanwu Academy was definitely the right choice. Who would’ve thought Instructor Ranran is already over five hundred years old!

The entire class: (???) What? What did you just say?

Instructor Ranran: ??(???)??

What an oblivious brat. Didn’t he know you’re not supposed to casually reveal a woman’s age? Such a waste of that handsome face!

Wow, this Instructor Ranran has so much personality. Her strength has already reached elder level, but she only likes teaching students and refuses to be promoted to elder.

You know elders earn ten times the salary of instructors each month! Ten times!

Even if senior potion masters aren’t short on money, you can’t just give up what you rightfully deserve!

Sigh, but she’s wholeheartedly devoted to teaching and nurturing students. That’s pretty great too. Applause, applause.

Clap clap.

Instructor Ranran’s expression softened immediately.

The brat might lack tact, but he had good taste. Those bright, lively eyes of his weren’t wasted after all.

“This period was originally supposed to be Exotic Plant Studies. Potion class was meant for next period.”

“But since I’m teaching both, I’ll go at my own pace.”

“In this lesson, we’ll first get to know a few basic exotic plants. Then we’ll use them to prepare a low-level hemostatic potion that you frequently use.”

As she spoke, Instructor Ranran tapped Yu Beixuan’s desk.

“This student—if you want to sleep, at least make the low-level hemostatic potion I’m teaching first.”

“Otherwise, I’ll pluck all the fur off that black cat in your arms.”

The little black kitten in Yu Beixuan’s arms jolted awake at those words. Its fur instantly puffed up as it glared viciously at Instructor Ranran.

But in its kitten form, it only looked adorably fierce, making people want to rub it.

Instructor Ranran did just that.

The kitten angrily tried to swipe at her, but remembering Yu Beixuan’s earlier instructions, it retracted its claws and only pawed at her with its soft pads.

Instructor Ranran was utterly charmed. Si Er, meanwhile, was internally screaming like a marmot.

Ahhh, this is way too cute! They say pets resemble their owners. Student Yu must be this cute too—that’s probably why City Lord Yu likes him the most.

It’s just a pity that City Lord Yu’s kind of a ‘ruin-your-son’ type of doting parent. Otherwise, I can’t even imagine how sunny and cheerful he’d be as an old father.

Yu Beixuan: …

Who said pets resemble their owners? He was not as childish as Yu Bei Tiger.

While stroking the kitten’s head to soothe it, Yu Beixuan said to Instructor Ranran, “Sorry, Instructor, but I really don’t have talent in potion-making. I’m afraid…”

“You’ve tried potion-making before, then?” Instructor Ranran asked. “What did you make?”

Yu Beixuan didn’t want to answer, but to avoid future trouble he replied, “I’ve made low-level hemostatic potions before. But they were completely unusable.”

“You should know—I have a dark-attribute constitution. When that attribute blends into any potion, it becomes a disaster for the user.”

“I didn’t know,” Instructor Ranran admitted honestly. “I’ve never encountered someone with a dark-attribute constitution. Why don’t you make one for me to see?”

“…”

Yu Beixuan fell silent for a moment, still trying to resist.

“That’s probably not a good idea. I think—”

Si Er instinctively completed the sentence in his mind.

I don’t want you to think—I want me to think.

Instructor Ranran’s eyes lit up, suddenly inspired.

“Are you the instructor, or am I the instructor? I don’t want you to think—I want me to think. Hurry up and make it for me to see!”

“Or your cat won’t escape my depilatory potion!”

The kitten’s fur puffed up again in fright. It looked pitifully at Yu Beixuan, hoping he’d stand up for it.

Normally, Yu Beixuan might have lazily handed the cat over. Fur or no fur didn’t affect him much.

If it became too ugly, he could just tuck it into his soul pet space and not look at it.

But Si Er was watching.

And Yu Bei Tiger’s fluffy kitten form was especially appealing to Si Er. Yu Beixuan couldn’t ignore that.

Yu Bei Tiger is so cute. He can’t lose his fur!

And judging by Student Yu’s expression, he doesn’t seem like someone who cares about Yu Bei Tiger’s fur anyway!

“If Instructor Ranran really wants to threaten him, shouldn’t she just threaten Student Yu’s hair instead? That feels more effective.”

Yu Beixuan: …I keep you in my heart, and you kick me into a ditch, huh?

Instructor Ranran pretended she hadn’t heard anything and continued smiling sweetly at Yu Beixuan.

Shaving the cat wouldn’t anger City Lord Yu.

But touching Yu Beixuan himself was absolutely out of the question—not even a single strand of hair. Otherwise, City Lord Yu might go mad.

Jian Ranran knew her limits. She could probably duel any one of the five Xuan elders evenly—but against City Lord Yu, she’d be completely crushed.

With a helpless glance at Si Er, Yu Beixuan finally took the exotic plants and tools provided by Instructor Ranran and went up to demonstrate potion-making.

His mother had been a powerful potion master. Growing up immersed in that environment, Yu Beixuan had concocted countless poisons…

He couldn’t help it. The dark power within him was too strong. As a child, he had no control over it. Whenever he studied potion-making, his dark power would seep into the mixture and create strange reactions.

In a way, he was a genius at potion-making. None of his concoctions had ever exploded. They were just unusable—and toxic—which had subjected his mother to much criticism.

Yu Beixuan knew that even though he was the youngest son of the City Lord of Beiye City, even though his father bragged about him daily and did everything possible to show his love—

Many still considered him ominous, dangerous, someone who should be controlled.

They believed all his talents were meant to harm others and should be stripped away one by one.

If not for his father’s strength and dominance, he probably wouldn’t have survived peacefully until now.

Holding the familiar tools, Yu Beixuan couldn’t help recalling the past. Dark power began to seep from his body.

It wasn’t enough to harm the elite class students—but it did create a sense of distance and alienation around him.

Instructor Ranran was just about to intervene when Si Er suddenly dashed up to the platform and placed a hand on Yu Beixuan’s shoulder.

“Student Yu, need a hand?”

“I don’t know anything yet, but I’ll work hard to learn.”

As Si Er spoke, the dark power leaking from Yu Beixuan was drawn into him—then pushed back into Yu Beixuan’s body.

Everyone was stunned.

You could push that stuff back?

Yu Beixuan was surprised too. Only then did he realize he had lost control again.

Thinking of what Si Er had just done, Yu Beixuan pulled out a small melon—one he had already cleansed of baleful energy—and handed it over.

“This potion is simple. I don’t need help for now.”

“Stand here and watch while you eat, Student Si. You’re so smart—you’ll learn it after one look.”

“But I don’t have talent in potion-making. Don’t learn from me.”

He curved his brows slightly and revealed half of his small tiger fang.
