Tuoba Yan frowned and scolded, "I said, you are not listening to me. You are just ignoring what I said. When children talk, adults should listen carefully and take it to heart."
"I've said this countless times."
"I have no interest in Hu Liena."
"I will not take Bibi Dong as my teacher."
"I have no improper thoughts about my cousin Qian Renxue, whom I have never met."
"You are just being sentimental!"
"If you continue to be so stubborn, I'll just start my own business."
Tuoba Xi laughed and said, "You want to start your own business?"
A child under the age of seven threatened to set up his own business, but Tuoba Xi just thought it was just childish talk.
Tuoba Yan said sternly, "I have awakened the Holy Lord Martial Spirit, so it's not too much to open a family tree alone, right?"
The smile on Tuoba Xi's face gradually disappeared.
Tuoba Yan spoke in a serious tone, and it didn't sound like a joke.
If the Holy Lord's martial soul is cultivated to the level of Titled Douluo, he will be qualified to establish his own sect.
"Ah..." Tuoba Xi waved his hands quickly, completely compromising, "Forget it, forget it. From now on, you will walk your own path as a soul master. It's up to you who you want to take as your master. Grandpa will no longer interfere!"
The Xingdou Great Forest, the largest soul beast habitat on the Douluo Continent, borders the Xingluo Empire to the south and the Tiandou Empire to the north. It spans tropical, subtropical, and temperate climates, with high mountains covered in perpetual snow that breed ice-attributed soul beasts.
Many soul masters like to come to the Star Dou Great Forest, because every time they come, it means they are about to advance to the next level of soul master.
Tuoba Yan needs to hunt for a 6,000-year soul ring this time, which is difficult to obtain in ordinary soul hunting forests.
"This is strange. I clearly remember there were many chicken-like spirit beasts on this mountain, but now they are gone without a trace. Yan'er, follow me closely, there's something wrong with the atmosphere around us."
Soul-Crying Mountain is a mountain range in the Star Dou Great Forest where chicken-like soul beasts gather.
Chicken is a very nutritious food.
Soul masters who often go in and out of the forest will occasionally catch a chicken or two to eat when passing by the Soul-Crying Mountain.
The mountains gave birth to a species of intelligent, chicken-like spirit beasts. Under their guidance, the mountains were hollowed out, revealing a complex network of passages.
Generally speaking, if a strong enemy appears, these chicken-like soul beasts will quickly flee into the cave for refuge.
They only come out when they are looking for food.
Occasionally, soul masters who come to the Soul-Crying Mountain to catch chickens will return empty-handed.
Tuoba Xi and his grandson wandered around the mountains for a long time, but they didn't encounter a single chicken.
This is so abnormal!
Tuoba Yan suddenly stopped and twitched his nose: "It smells good!"
The two looked at each other, used their soul power to leap through the woods, and soon arrived at an open space.
There were two figures, one big and one small, sitting by the campfire, roasting a golden soul chicken, with an aroma filling the air.
The woman beside the fire was wearing a plain skirt, her black hair was loosely tied, her eyebrows were gentle, and there was a virtuous air between her eyebrows. She gently turned the grill in her hands, and her movements were elegant and calm.
The little girl next to her was about six or seven years old, with long aqua-blue hair like a waterfall and a delicate fair face. She didn't look stunning at first glance, but upon closer inspection, she had a hazy and lively beauty.
At this time, a handsome adult man came over carrying a seriously injured chicken-like soul beast.
The chicken was the size of an adult dog, with five golden feathers on its head like a phoenix crown, reflecting brilliant light in the sunlight.
The little girl greeted him happily, "Dad, you're back!"
"Well, I was lucky. I caught a king rooster from the flock of chickens that escaped into the cave. It's just right for you and your brother to replenish your bodies. Bing'er, what are you looking at?"
The little girl looked toward the woods behind the man.
"Dad, I feel something there."
"You mean soul beast?"
The man suddenly became alert.
The beautiful woman roasting the chicken also quickly came to her daughter's side, staring at the dense shade of the trees vigilantly.
At this moment, two figures leaped out from the woods.
Tuoba Xi looked at the chicken king in the man's hand.
"The Golden Armored Crying Soul Chicken is still alive, and its age limit is five thousand years. Yan'er, are you satisfied?"
Tuoba Yan nodded.
In the dangerous Star Dou Forest, in addition to the soul beasts that appear at any time, you must also be wary of greedy people in the dark.
The sudden appearance of Tuoba Xi and his grandson made the three people present subconsciously more alert.
Tuoba Xi said in a clear voice: "I am Tuoba Xi, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall. My grandson is in urgent need of the spirit ring of this Golden Armored Crying Soul Chicken. I see from the auras of the three of you that you do not need this spirit ring. Could you please part with it? I will definitely reward you handsomely!"
After he finished speaking, eight soul rings fell from Tuoba Xi's head, two yellow, two purple and four black.
The Tuoba family has the iconic white-armored earth dragon martial spirit, plus eight spirit rings, so there is no need to question Tuoba Xi's identity.
The adult man and the woman looked at each other with hesitation on their faces.
Tuoba Xi said: "How about 50,000 gold soul coins?"
fifty thousand?
Tuoba Yan was startled.
A thousand-year-old soul beast, if eaten, would cost no more than 10,000 gold soul coins. Even the phoenix among chickens, the Golden Armored Crying Soul Chicken, would only be worth 20,000 gold soul coins at most if you bid.
Tuoba Xi more than doubled the price. For Tuoba Yan, he was really willing to spend it.
"First of all, we only want the spirit rings. The spirit beast's body will remain yours."
The grown man was stunned.
Just by letting the other party hunt soul beasts, he can get 50,000 gold soul coins for free?
Such good facts are rare.
But he also felt the hidden pressure in Tuoba Xi's words.
Tuoba Xi promised such a generous reward, did he really think he was stupid?
He was just putting extreme pressure on the grown man. If the other party didn't even agree to this, then he wouldn't be afraid to get his hands dirty, bully the weak, and just rob him!
The grown man sighed and said, "Never mind, I'll give you the chicken. You don't have to pay for it. When we're out and about, we should help each other!"
After saying that, Bing'er's father threw the Chicken King at Tuoba Xi's feet.
Tuoba Xi took out five black crystal cards from the storage soul guide: "Here, everyone buys and sells openly, I, Tuoba Xi, will not take advantage of you!"
The grown man reached out to catch the floating crystal card and was stunned for a moment.
As an adult, he certainly knew that Tuoba Xi didn't want to take advantage of him, but he didn't want to owe him a favor.
Then again, a favor from the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall is worth more than just 50,000 Gold Soul Coins!
Even if the White-Armored Earth Dragon is lying down, it is still a subspecies of dragon with a noble status.
"Yan'er," Tuoba Xi said in a deep voice, "In order to avoid any more trouble, kill the Golden Armored Soul-Crying Chicken and absorb the soul ring. I will protect you!"
