The True Young Master Saves the Soul Pet World by Eating Melons – CH86

Chapter 86: Deskmates

After hearing Si Er’s inner thoughts, Yu Beixuan became even more motivated in absorbing the baleful energy. In his enthusiasm, he accidentally absorbed a bit too much.

Si Er quickly noticed something unusual about him and immediately lowered his voice to ask Si Xu beside him.

“Second Brother, can you switch seats with Xuanxuan next period? I want to sit with him.”

Si Xu frowned. “Er’er, are you choosing beauty over brotherhood?”

“Of course not!” Si Er waved his hands hurriedly. “It’s just that there are some things Xuanxuan and I need to do together. It’ll be more convenient if we sit together.”

Si Xu was puzzled. “What is it that only the two of you can do? Can’t I help?”

Si Er sighed helplessly. “Second Brother, you should understand—Xuanxuan and I have rather special attributes. Sometimes the two of us are…”

“Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you. I’ll switch seats with him in a bit. No need to continue.”

Si Xu felt that whatever Si Er was about to say next, he probably wouldn’t like hearing it—so it was better not to hear it at all.

Complementary. Mutual generation and restraint. Mutual reinforcement.

He couldn’t bear to hear any of those kinds of words.

Although “mutual generation and restraint” didn’t sound entirely positive, there was also something called love-hate entanglement.

Yu Beixuan, who had overheard the brothers’ whispered conversation, couldn’t help but curl his lips upward. In his mind, a tiny version of himself was spinning in ecstatic circles.

Yu Beixuan: Ahhhhh Er’er wants to be deskmates with me! This is too wonderful—could there possibly be anything happier in this world?

Very soon, he discovered there was.

After they became deskmates, Si Er, in order to ease Yu Beixuan’s burden of absorbing baleful energy, simply took hold of Yu Beixuan’s free hand and continuously sent him a bit of energy to help him digest the baleful energy more smoothly.

Yu Beixuan felt as though he were about to bubble over with bliss.

Si Er felt wonderful too. Looking at the large number of purified spirit stones Yu Beixuan had produced, he planned to hand them all to his father that very night so his father could cultivate properly.

As a qualified salted fish, one must hope father becomes a dragon, hope brothers become dragons, hope friends become dragons.

So Father, Big Brother, Second Brother, and Xuanxuan—you all cultivate diligently. My future leisurely life depends on you!

If possible, I’d also like to hope Grandpa becomes a dragon, hope Uncle becomes a dragon…

Too bad the old man and Shameless Si aren’t good people. They’re downright bad.

Not only can’t they help lighten my burden, they’ll just keep dragging our whole family down. How excessive.

Guagua patted Si Er’s hand comfortingly.

[Er’er, don’t be afraid. Those who want to harm you will definitely come to no good end.]

[I discovered something very important.]

What is it?

Si Er grew curious.

[When I was observing Xuanxuan just now, I think I saw his second brother.]

Xuanxuan’s second brother? Yu Beiming?

[Yes, yes, Yu Beiming! He’s gone to Lianshui City!]

[He has a top-tier soul pet called the Heavenly Water Sacred Lotus. Its level is slightly lower, but its grade firmly suppresses the Mo Water Black Lotus.]

[So although others can’t approach Shuangqiao Town in Lianshui City, Yu Beiming should be able to get close quietly and gather information!]

Xuanxuan’s second brother is that impressive?

[He’s alright—not exceptionally powerful. It’s just that in this particular aspect, he happens to counter Bai Lianrou.]

[Yu Beiming focuses mainly on healing. His combat strength is average, but he’s extremely good at surviving.]

Being good at surviving is great! Maybe I’ll have a lot in common with Xuanxuan’s second brother in that regard?

Si Er thought to himself—wasn’t being a salted fish all about surviving well? He had been working hard at that too.

Yu Beixuan felt a twinge of jealousy. He didn’t know what Guagua had said, but suddenly Er’er seemed to think he had something in common with Second Brother.

But Yu Beixuan felt the two of them definitely didn’t.

In his eyes, Si Er was like a piece of cotton candy—soft and sweet on the outside, and probably just as soft and sweet on the inside.

From inside to out, Si Er was all softness and sweetness.

As for his second brother… he was like a brush pen. On the surface, refined and elegant—but before doing anything, he always had to dip himself in ink. In short, thoroughly black.

Yu Beixuan felt his second brother truly lived up to his name. The character “Ming” could mean dark or netherworld—and his brother could send someone quietly into the netherworld without a trace.

By the way, Guagua, why did Xuanxuan’s second brother suddenly go to Lianshui City?

Isn’t that just a small city? Most people wouldn’t think to go there.

[It seems your father discovered something and sought help from City Lord Yu. City Lord Yu then assigned the task to Yu Beiming.]

Is Father close with City Lord Yu?

Yu Beixuan couldn’t help wanting to answer—they’re extremely close!

[Quite close. The four great city lords often need to communicate; at least on the surface, they get along.]

[Privately, your father gets along fairly well with City Lord Yu and City Lord Jun. He just doesn’t get along much with City Lord Quan.]

[Of course, City Lord Quan doesn’t get along with anyone very well.]

[After all, the other three city lords only love their lawful wives. He’s the only one who favors a concubine—and the only one who took one.]

[The other three can’t understand it. If he liked his cousin so much, why didn’t he just marry her back then? Why marry another woman and make her suffer?]

So why?

Si Er couldn’t resist a bit of gossip.

[Apparently, that cousin didn’t fancy City Lord Quan back then. She thought another clan cousin had a higher chance of inheriting the city lord position, so she married that cousin instead.]

[City Lord Quan was heartbroken and later obeyed his parents, marrying the current Lady Quan.]

[At first, their marriage was fairly harmonious. There wasn’t much love, but there was the ordinary warmth between husband and wife.]

[But later, City Lord Quan became city lord. That cousin would often pass before him looking despondent, occasionally revealing scars on her wrist. It broke his heart.]

Si Er: …

I really want to say—what a brain-dead idiot!

[I don’t understand…]

It’s fine if you don’t. Just continue.

[Oh. Later, the cousin’s husband met with an accident, and she moved into the city lord’s residence.]

[Then after another “accident,” City Lord Quan and the cousin couldn’t help themselves.]

[From then on, with his white moonlight in his arms, Lady Quan—the lawful wife—became nothing more than coarse leftovers stuck in his throat.]

Si Er was speechless.

She’s already coarse leftovers? City Lord Quan really has no conscience. No wonder the other three city lords can’t get along with him.
