Thinking of this, Ye Cixin couldn’t help but feel a bit angry.
To deceive even such a small child, that was simply inhumane!
“Child, the Star Dou Great Forest is very dangerous, and that is not a place you can set foot in.
To hunt a Soul Ring, you should go to a Soul Beast breeding forest instead.”
“Moreover, your Soul Power must reach Rank ten before you can acquire your first Soul Ring.
Judging by your appearance, you must have just undergone your Martial Soul Awakening and haven’t reached the Rank required to hunt a Soul Ring yet.”
Unable to bear seeing Meng Chen being “deceived”, Ye Cixin patiently explained the rules of Soul Masters to him.
“But the Soul Master who helped me with my Awakening told me that I have Innate full Soul Power, and that I can directly acquire my first Soul Ring.”
Unexpectedly, Meng Chen made a startling remark, causing the eyes of the beautiful woman in white to suddenly change.
Filled with shock, she blurted out, “What!
You have Innate full Soul Power!”
“Mn.” Meng Chen nodded.
In an instant, Ye Cixin’s gaze towards Meng Chen changed completely, filled with pleasant surprise.
Family members, who understands this!
While traveling, I found a wild Innate full Soul Power; if you’re slow on the draw, you’ll miss out!
“Little friend, it’s not safe for you to be alone in this outskirts.
Why don’t you come with Auntie?”
“The Star Dou Great Forest is too far from here.
Auntie will take you to the Sunset Forest to hunt a Soul Ring, how about that?
Are you hungry?
Auntie’s carriage has the best pastries in Heaven Dou City…”
At this moment, Ye Cixin took the Incarnation of a scheming wolf grandmother, beginning to tempt Meng Chen in an attempt to lure this wild Innate full Soul Power onto her carriage.
Hearing that her mother was going to share her pastries with Meng Chen, Ye Lingling pouted, feeling a bit unhappy.
Seeing things develop as he had anticipated, Meng Chen feigned vigilance and said, “Auntie, you wouldn’t happen to be thinking of selling me, would you?”
“Hmph!
My mother is the number one healing Soul Master under heaven.
Treating someone once costs at least hundreds of gold coins.
How could she possibly do something like child trafficking?
Mother, let’s go, stop paying attention to this little brat!”
Hearing her mother being doubted, Ye Lingling jumped out immediately, her little face puffed up with anger as she glared fiercely at Meng Chen.
Seeing her daughter causing trouble and jumping out to defend her, Ye Cixin couldn’t bear to scold her.
After all, the reason she wanted to take Meng Chen away was so that he could protect Ye Lingling in the future.
“Sorry, little friend, my daughter speaks without thinking sometimes.
Trust Auntie; Auntie guarantees you on the reputation of the number one healing Soul Master under heaven that Auntie is definitely not a bad person.”
Ye Cixin assured Meng Chen, looking at him with a sincere expression.
Considering that the act had gone on long enough, it wouldn’t do for Meng Chen to refuse again: “Alright, I’ll trust Auntie this once.”
“Mn mn, come, get into Auntie’s carriage.
Auntie will have a guard drive that carriage of yours.”
Seeing Meng Chen agree, the beautiful woman in white instantly beamed with joy.
Ye Cixin’s fair and tender hand took Meng Chen’s small hand, pulling him toward her carriage.
Ye Lingling followed behind her mother, looking at Meng Chen, and let out a light huff from her dainty nose.
She hated him!
Ye Cixin’s carriage was much better than the scarred driver’s.
Not only was the carriage spacious and filled with a faint fragrance, but it also had a soft sofa and a small coffee table, upon which many fruits and pastries were placed.
“Auntie hasn’t introduced herself yet.
Auntie is called Ye Cixin, and this is Auntie’s daughter, Ye Lingling.
She is six years older than you, so you can call her Elder Sister.”
Ye Cixin handed an exquisite pastry to Meng Chen and introduced herself to him.
After listening, Meng Chen’s conjecture about their identities was confirmed.
Upon hearing the name “Lengleng” earlier, along with that silver-gray hair, Meng Chen had guessed that the girl might be Ye Lingling.
However, the original work had very little description of Ye Lingling, so Meng Chen didn’t know much about her.
She only appeared twice in total, and after that, she was never seen again.
Clearly possessing the Nine Heart Begonia which offered group-area healing, she never appeared on the battlefield.
The ending for her and her mother was quite thought-provoking!
As for whether they fell into the hands of Spirit Hall, at least within the intelligence of Spirit Hall known to Meng Chen, there were no operations targeting them.
Eating the pastries fed to him by Ye Cixin, Meng Chen pondered how to modify his plan.
The reason he wanted to go to the Star Dou Great Forest was precisely because the Soul Beast resources there were abundant.
Although the Star Dou Great Forest was fraught with danger and ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts were everywhere, as long as he didn’t approach the inner circle and only operated in the outer perimeter, it posed not much danger to Meng Chen.
Furthermore, he had Ye Xishui protecting his path.
Even if the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python made a move against him, he wouldn’t fear them.
Only…
“Little friend, you haven’t told Auntie what your name is yet.
Auntie happens to want to adopt a boy to keep Lengleng company.
Since your parents are no longer around, why don’t you become Auntie’s adopted son?
Auntie…”
Looking at the chattering beautiful Begonia mother, Meng Chen instantly regretted getting into the carriage, because this was simply not a car headed to kindergarten!
Also, he was getting a bit dizzy from being dazzled by those huge headlights!
“Aunt Ye, although I don’t have parents, I have a teacher, so please do not arbitrarily decide to adopt me.”
Seeing Ye Cixin getting more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, Meng Chen hurriedly interrupted her.
He knew what this beautiful Begonia mother was planning.
Innate full Soul Power was widely recognized as a seed of a Titled Douluo; as long as they didn’t perish midway, they were bound to become a Titled Douluo in the future.
Being able to adopt a child with Innate full Soul Power as an adopted son was equivalent to getting a future Titled Douluo for free.
For Ye Cixin, this was the best protection she could give her daughter.
“Is that so?
It seems Auntie thought too much.
Since you have a teacher, why don’t I discuss it with your teacher…”
Ye Cixin still didn’t want to give up, attempting to achieve her goal by roundabout means.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she mentioned Meng Chen’s teacher, she felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, as if a large hand was tightly wrapping around her!
It was as if if the beautiful Begonia mother said one more word, it would drag her into an endless abyss!
Ye Cixin instantly had a freezing sensation of falling into an ice cellar, and her plump, mature body trembled involuntarily.
Looking at the young shota in front of her, her expression changed slightly, and a trace of fear arose in her heart.
Could his teacher be nearby?!
Ye Cixin gently rolled her throat, making a gulping sound as if swallowing back the words she originally intended to say.
At the same time, her gaze towards Meng Chen also changed, revealing a trace of dread.
Only then did she realize that a child who dared to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beasts alone right after his Martial Soul Awakening—how could there possibly be no one protecting him by his side?
In an instant, the carriage fell silent.
Ye Cixin didn’t dare to ask any more questions, and she also somewhat regretted bringing Meng Chen onto the carriage.
Seeing that the beautiful Begonia mother stopped chattering endlessly, Meng Chen knew that Ye Xishui had made a move.
“Aunt Ye, I appreciate your kindness, but please let me down directly once you reach the nearest city.”
“G-Good, alright.”
Ye Cixin nodded repeatedly.
After being deterred like this by Ye Xishui in the shadows, how would she still dare to harbor any ideas about him?
Right now, she just wanted to quickly get rid of Meng Chen, this ticking time bomb, and hide as far away as possible.
As expected, how could there be any wild Innate full Soul Power in this world!
More than two hours later.
Outside Keer City, the carriage gradually came to a stop.
Ye Cixin told Ye Lingling to stay well inside the carriage, and she and Meng Chen stepped down from it.
“Not far ahead is Keer City.
It is very far from the Star Dou Great Forest, but relatively close to the Sunset Forest, only a little over four hundred miles away.”
“Although the Soul Beast quality of the Sunset Forest is not as good as the Star Dou Great Forest, it is not as dangerous as the Star Dou Great Forest.
Auntie still suggests you go to the Sunset Forest, as it is much safer there.”
Ye Cixin bent down to instruct Meng Chen, reaching out to stroke his head, a trace of regret appearing in her beautiful eyes.
What a pity, why wasn’t this child a wild one?
Although she failed to bring Meng Chen home, it didn’t hinder her from forging a good karma with him.
Afterwards, the beautiful Begonia mother handed a detailed Heaven Dou map to Meng Chen and also gave him a gold coin card.
“Sorry, Auntie didn’t mean to ask about your parents earlier, and I hope you can forgive Auntie’s slip of the tongue.
There are ten thousand gold coins in this gold coin card, consider it Auntie’s apology gift.
If you have time in the future, you can come to Heaven Dou City to find Auntie.”
Looking at the Heaven Dou map and the gold coin card, Meng Chen did not refuse.
After accepting them, he smiled and said to Ye Cixin:
“Thank you, Aunt Ye.
Right, my name is Meng Chen.
When I grow up in the future, I will go to Heaven Dou City to find you, Auntie.”
“Meng Chen…
What a good name.
Auntie won’t delay your time any longer.
Let’s meet again in Heaven Dou City.”
After murmuring Meng Chen’s name, a soft and beautiful smile appeared on the beautiful Begonia mother’s face.
After bidding farewell to Meng Chen, she turned around and walked back to the carriage.
