The True Young Master Saves the Soul Pet World by Eating Melons – CH58

Chapter 58: Si Yi

Si Er felt that Si Xu’s suggestion was feasible, so the two of them agreed to ask the elders for leave after class and then head out to see City Lord Si.

Yu Beixuan felt quite regretful when he heard this. He had been hoping to have dinner with Si Er after class—it seemed that plan had fallen through.

But there would be plenty of time in the future. They were both studying at the same academy; there would be many opportunities.

City Lord Si, on the other hand, wouldn’t be able to stay in Central City for long. Even if this was only an avatar, he couldn’t linger here forever.

Yu Beixuan thought that since Si Er had only just been acknowledged by the Si family, he should take advantage of the time City Lord Si was still around to build up some father-son affection.

After all, City Lord Si seemed like a perfectly normal father—completely different from Yu Beixuan’s unreliable old man.

Grandfather had truly been farsighted when he named his father Yu Lipu. His dad was exactly as outrageous as his name implied.

Outrageous to what extent?

Since “Li” carried the meaning of black, he gave all three of his sons black-themed nicknames.

His justification was that the four of them, father and sons, should all be pitch-black together—so anyone could tell at a glance they were family.

Even the little sister their mother gave birth to two years ago hadn’t escaped their father’s obsession with black. He named her Yu Beiwu…

After being beaten soundly by their mother, their little sister now had the nickname Wuwu, and her proper name was changed to Yu Beidai.

In short, it was still inseparable from “black.”

While mentally grumbling about his father, Yu Beixuan took his two soul pets to the academy cafeteria.

He needed to try more dishes there. Maybe one day he could recommend something to Er’er.

Far away in North Night City, City Lord Yu suddenly sneezed several times in a row. Holding his little daughter and rocking her gently, he flashed Madam Yu a brilliant smile.

“My lady, Xuanxuan must be thinking about me!”

Madam Yu sneered. “Are you sure he’s not cursing you in his heart?”

City Lord Yu shook his head vigorously. “How could that be? Our Xuanxuan is smart, sensible, filial, adorable, obedient—”

“Well… maybe not very obedient to me, but he listens to you!”

“With how unreliable you are, who would dare listen to you?” Madam Yu rolled her eyes and snatched their daughter back. “Look at this—you’ve put her clothes on backwards again.”

“Didn’t you see the collar was choking her neck?”

City Lord Yu dared not argue and stood off to the side awkwardly while his wife redressed their daughter.

Meanwhile, Si Er and Si Xu returned to the courtyard outside.

After obtaining the Moonlight Ginseng, City Lord Si went straight into the alchemy room to refine medicine, intending to hand the potion to Si Er first thing in the morning.

As for the auxiliary ingredients, they were already available in the courtyard.

Earlier, he had stocked the medicine rooms in all three courtyards to the brim—so his sons would never lack supplies.

That night, Si Er stayed in the room City Lord Si had specially prepared for him. Everything inside was exquisitely arranged and beneficial to cultivation. The moment he entered, he felt comfortable.

So he slept deeply. Even though he vaguely sensed someone standing by his bedside watching him, he couldn’t wake up.

It wasn’t until dawn was approaching that Si Er finally opened his eyes—only to be startled by the person sitting at his bedside.

“Y-you… who are you? How did you get in here? How long have you been standing there?”

Oh heavens, could this be my elusive eldest brother, Si Yi?

Isn’t he supposed to have a fire attribute? Why does he have golden hair?

And more outrageous—why is he staring at me like that? His eyes are like searchlights. It’s making me so uncomfortable.

Si Yi’s gaze remained fixed on Si Er. Then he tugged at the corner of his lips and smiled.

Unexpectedly, he could hear his little brother’s inner thoughts. Was it because brothers shared a spiritual connection?

Did that mean his little brother could hear his thoughts too?

So Si Yi silently recited in his heart: Hello, I’m your eldest brother, Si Yi. Father and Xuxu should have mentioned me to you?

After finishing, he looked at Si Er expectantly, hoping for the response he wanted.

Oh heavens! Why did his eyes get even brighter? Can his eyes actually adjust brightness like lamps? That’s absurd!

And although Big Brother is quite handsome… that look in his eyes…

He seems a bit mentally unstable!

The light in Si Yi’s eyes instantly went out.

Alright. He was certain now—his little brother couldn’t hear his thoughts.

He felt spiritually connected to his little brother, but his little brother thought he was crazy.

It hurt. It truly hurt.

After processing that pain, Si Yi resumed his normal expression—which was to say, expressionless—and verbally repeated what he had wanted to say earlier.

“So you’re Big Brother.” Seeing that his elder brother had finally returned to normal, Si Er also relaxed.

“Hello, Big Brother. My name is Si Er. You can call me Er’er.”

“Er’er.” Si Yi ruffled the tuft of messy hair sticking up from sleep. “I’m sorry for losing you.”

“I’m sorry we didn’t realize you were lost.”

“I’m sorry you had to live alone outside for so long.”

“And in the end, you were the one who found your way back. I’m truly sorry.”

Si Er shook his head. “That’s not your fault, Big Brother. The enemy was simply too cunning.”

Si Yi was twenty this year. When Si Er was born, he himself hadn’t even been five. What could he have done?

Sigh. Speaking of which, City Lord Si had married and had children quite late. Among the Four Great City Lords, the age gap between the Si brothers was the smallest.

“The enemy was cunning, yes—but our oversight was also real. So you must accept these things. Otherwise, Big Brother won’t feel at ease.”

As he spoke, Si Yi took out ten storage rings and slid one onto each of Si Er’s ten fingers.

Si Er was stunned. “Th-this…”

Isn’t this a bit too nouveau riche?

And no one on the Ten Thousand Beasts Continent can forge storage rings anymore. These are remnants left by the first generation of ancestors.

With this many rings, are they all filled with stuff? Just how wealthy is he?

Si Yi said calmly, “Of course they’re not completely full.”

Si Er looked at him in shock.

I suspect Big Brother can hear my thoughts!

Si Yi continued, “I’ve been wandering outside these past years. I’ve accumulated some things—but I’ve spent quite a bit as well.”

“In the ring on your left index finger are soul stones. I dug them out of someone else’s mine.”

“Huh?” Si Er stared. “You dug up someone else’s mine?”

Could it be that my eldest brother is actually the real big villain?

Si Yi smiled. “Don’t worry. The mine’s owner isn’t a good person either. She’s a femme fatale. I wonder if you’ve heard of her title?”

“The Thousand-Charm Fox Lady, Black Widow.”

“Yes, yes, I’ve heard of her.” Si Er nodded blankly.

Case solved! My big brother really is a major villain!

Even if he’s just cannon fodder, that doesn’t stop him from being a villain.

Si Yi frowned slightly. Since Si Er had heard of her reputation, why still think he was the villain?

“Er’er, you might not know, but the Thousand-Charm Fox Lady—”

“I know. She often forces the innocent into depravity and then massacres them. She’s not a good person.”

“So by digging up her mine and weakening her finances, Big Brother was upholding justice.”

“Big Brother, well done!”

But unfortunately, she’s the protagonist Si Ran’s mother. Digging up her mine is the same as digging up the protagonist’s.

So from Si Ran’s perspective, Big Brother is still a major villain.

Si Yi’s brows knit tightly.

Since when did Si Ran become the protagonist?

That guy spent his days being petty, sowing discord, and twisting black into white. Was that really protagonist material?
