The True Young Master Saves the Soul Pet World by Eating Melons – CH57

Chapter 57: A Courtesy of Nicknames

“A’Xuan?” Si Er softly repeated the name, then smiled. “Can’t I call you Xuanxuan instead?”

“You call me Er’er, so I call you Xuanxuan. That’s more like proper courtesy, right?”

Yu Beixuan hesitated. “Do you prefer Xuanxuan?”

Si Er nodded eagerly. “Mm-hmm! I think Xuanxuan rolls off the tongue better.”

“Alright then. Er’er can call me Xuanxuan.”

Yu Beixuan thought to himself that although the name sounded neither mighty nor domineering at all, what mattered most was that Si Er liked it.

“Okay, Xuanxuan.”

Si Er beamed, feeling delighted inside.

Ahhh, Classmate Yu is really so cute! In that script written by the foreign Heavenly Dao, this little cutie is actually the villain!

That foreign Heavenly Dao really has no taste, does it?

Then again, if it didn’t have strange tastes, how could it favor the insect race so much?

It would’ve been fine if it just favored them—but it indulged them to the point of destroying the world.

That’s like a horrible parent spoiling a bratty child. Terrifying!

That kind of awful parent can’t stand other people’s well-behaved children, so it picked a black-hearted lotus as the protagonist and wrote our good little Xuanxuan as the big villain.

Good little Xuanxuan?

Yu Beixuan found that title oddly familiar. His father used to call him that too, and it always gave him goosebumps.

But when Si Er called him that, Yu Beixuan felt he ought to behave even better—so Si Er would like him more.

Si Er probably liked obedient types, right?

Should he start pretending to be well-behaved?

Yu Beixuan felt that might be difficult. Perhaps in the future he could let his soul pets do the “acting cute” on his behalf in front of Si Er.

Er’er probably liked Yu Bei Tiger’s current appearance.

Yu Beixuan nudged the Lingzi in Si Er’s arms and smiled. “Er’er just transferred such a large mass of energy to me. You must be tired—hurry and replenish yourself.”

“I also have a Moonlight Ginseng. It suits Er’er very well.”

As he spoke, Yu Beixuan took out a large ginseng glowing with a soft white radiance.

It was truly massive—about as thick as Si Er’s arm.

Si Er was stunned. “Xuanxuan, why do you have so many tonics?”

Yu Beixuan scratched his head sheepishly. “There’s an old man at home. I have to prepare some tonics.”

An old man? Xuanxuan’s grandfather already passed away…

Si Er blinked. “Xuanxuan, you’re not talking about City Lord Yu, are you?”

“Of course.” Yu Beixuan nodded matter-of-factly. “He’s over a hundred years old. That counts as an old man, right?”

“Uh…” Si Er hesitated.

“My father is about the same age as City Lord Yu. But I think my father is wise and heroic, decisive and upright, elegant and handsome, refined and dashing…”

After a string of praise, Si Er concluded, “A father like that absolutely has nothing to do with the word ‘old man.’”

Yu Beixuan nodded in agreement. “Uncle Si really is excellent. Er’er’s praise is accurate.”

“But no matter how good Uncle Si is, it doesn’t stop the one at my house from being an old man.”

“They’re not brothers—no need to compare them.”

“Even if they were brothers, Uncle Si and Third Master Si couldn’t possibly be compared, right?”

“That’s true…” Si Er nodded, then looked at the Lingzi in his arms. “So how should this Lingzi be eaten?”

The little mushroom Cuicui hopped down from atop Si Er’s head and landed directly on the large Lingzi, transmitting through the soul sea.

[Er’er, can I eat this?]

[But I’ll eat it pretty fast. I might end up eating it all by myself.]

Si Er didn’t hesitate at all and smiled. Of course you can! If Cuicui gets stronger, I get stronger too!

Guagua nodded in agreement.

[Sure, sure. Guagua doesn’t like eating mushrooms anyway.]

[Guagua only likes eating gossip. Guagua is currently eating gossip.]

Benben hurriedly shook his head as well, indicating he had no objections.

He was at the bottom of the team hierarchy—what opinion could he possibly have?

And he didn’t like mushrooms either.

With everyone’s consent, Cuicui began spinning wildly atop the Lingzi.

The energy within the Lingzi visibly drained away, all absorbed by Cuicui. Cuicui’s green hue grew brighter and more vibrant, while the Lingzi’s color faded until it became nothing more than a dry, mushroom-shaped piece of wood.

Cuicui let out a satisfied burp and hopped back onto Si Er’s head.

As for Si Er, he clearly felt his strength rise by a small stage.

Come to think of it, the cultivation system of the Ten Thousand Beast Continent wasn’t bad at all.

As long as soul pets were properly contracted, their advancement could elevate the master. And when the master’s soul power improved, it could better soothe the soul pets, preventing them from being overwhelmed by baleful energy.

The others also sensed the fluctuation in Si Er’s cultivation and felt deeply envious.

But they understood—this wasn’t something one could simply envy.

Soul-nourishing Lingzi was incredibly rare. You wouldn’t find it in ordinary forests. You’d have to climb ten-thousand-zhang cliffs to obtain it.

Although Classmate Yu Beixuan had an eagle, the process must have been extremely dangerous.

After all, spirit herbs of that grade were always guarded by several exotic beasts.

(Indeed. They had all been stunned silly by Yu Bei Tiger’s roar, and Yu Beiying struck in a single blow while Yu Beixuan reaped the benefits.)

Si Er had earned that Lingzi through his own strength. Everyone had seen how powerful that mass of light energy he released earlier was.

Suddenly, everyone felt that because of Si Er’s presence, Yu Beixuan didn’t seem quite so frightening anymore.

Whenever something seemed off about Yu Beixuan, Si Er would soothe him in time. It made people feel reassured.

And Yu Beixuan clearly knew how to repay kindness. Every time, he gave Si Er a gift in return—each more valuable than the last.

That meant Yu Beixuan was also a grateful and upright classmate.

Even if the dark attribute was dangerous, Classmate Yu Beixuan was a good person.

Yu Beixuan had no idea that his classmates’ impressions of him had already changed. He was gazing expectantly at Si Er.

Since the little mushroom ate the Lingzi, Er’er should eat the Moonlight Ginseng.

It’s light-attribute—very compatible with Er’er.

Si Er looked at the Moonlight Ginseng with hesitation.

But this ginseng is huge. I can’t just eat it directly, right?

I wonder if ginseng in this world is super potent too. What if it’s too much for me?

Can Guagua eat this ginseng?

Guagua shook his head rapidly.

[No, no. Guagua only eats gossip. This doesn’t taste good.]

Really? It looks delicious to me. I’m just worried it might be too nourishing for my body to handle.

Si Xu suggested from the side, “Such high-quality Moonlight Ginseng would be a waste to eat directly. While Father is still here, let’s ask him to refine it into potions.”

With something this big, plus supplementary herbs, it should yield at least a dozen potions.

Then Er’er can drink them in portions at appropriate times and make sure none of the medicinal effects go to waste.

Si Er listened seriously, then asked curiously once Si Xu finished, “Father can refine potions too?”

The foreign Heavenly Dao’s script didn’t mention that!

But Father was cannon fodder in that script. It’s normal that some skills weren’t mentioned.

Si Xu smiled. “Of course. Back then, to pursue Mother, Father forced himself to become an all-rounder.”

“He only learned some things superficially, but when it comes to potions, Father is actually quite talented.”
