"Two strangers came to the village today......"

"An old grandfather, and a little boy about three years old."

"The old man is very mysterious, but he seems to be omnipotent, and from the first day he came to the village, everyone around him will be respectful and respectful to whoever sees him."

"I heard that he is a powerful soul master......

"Soul Master? I'm not interested in that kind of thing. ”

"What interests me...... It was him—the little boy. ”

……

Xia Ruohan is a waste martial spirit.

This is not surprising in this ordinary little village.

Almost all of the people who live here are wasted martial spirits.

So Xia Ruohan's parents just comforted Xia Ruohan casually and never mentioned this matter again.

And Xia Ruohan didn't care about anything.

She had never thought of becoming a soul master.

However, Xia Yuan's appearance completely broke Xia Ruohan's mentality of "it's already good like this".

——

"That kid ......"

Xia Ruohan blinked his beautiful gray eyes, looking at the little boy with a tear mole who was following the old man with a blank face, Xia Ruohan's eyes were completely taken away by him......

"Why......" Looking at Xia Yuan, Xia Ruohan's heart became anxious for the first time.

However, Xia Ruohan is not an ordinary person.

Xia Ruohan is very mature, although he usually doesn't show it at all, but Xia Ruohan, who is just seven years old, already has wisdom that surpasses his peers.

However, this is the first time that Xia Ruohan has become interested in a child who is four years younger than him.

Xia Yuan is a very ordinary child, but it can also be said that he is not ordinary.

No matter what happened, Xia Yuan's expression rarely changed, and only when his "grandfather" called him, he would show some normal childish expressions.

Xia Ruohan was very curious, this was the first time she had seen a child who was similar to herself, or even younger than herself, showing such an expression.

"Your name is Xia Yuan, right?"

It's a very ordinary greeting, but this time Xia Yuan's expression seems to be a little wrong.

"......" looked at Xia Ruohan, who didn't know when he was standing beside him, Xia Yuan was obviously stunned: "...... Hello. ”

Xia Ruohan was also stunned for a moment, in Xia Ruohan's impression, this was the first time Xia Yuan showed a nervous expression.

"Isn't Xia Yuan used to talking to girls?" Xia Ruohan said and sat directly beside Xia Yuan.

"Uh...... Sort of, right? Xia Yuan nodded a little embarrassedly, looking at Xia Ruohan's eyes with a hint of something strange.

"Isn't Xia Yuan going to play with them?" Although it was already evening, there were still many children playing in the neighborhood.

"Aren't you too?" Xia Yuan shook his head: "Don't you have the same idea as me?" What's the fun with a bunch of kids? ”

"It's really strange...... Xia Ruohan's gray pupils trembled slightly, looking at Xia Yuan beside him, Xia Ruohan's consciousness was slightly trance-like.

"Huh? What's wrong? Xia Yuan was stunned for a moment, looking at Xia Ruohan's hand pressed on his shoulder, a little puzzled.

However, what made Xia Yuan even more puzzled was his blurred vision.

"What's going on......" Everything in front of Xia Yuan's eyes slowly blurred, and the sudden appearance of the situation even scared him so much that he didn't dare to speak.

“…… It's okay. Xia Ruohan's gray pupils slowly emitted a hint of blue light, looking at the mark on Xia Yuan's left hand that suddenly lit up, Xia Ruohan's eyes were even more strange.

Soul Seal!

Xia Yuan is only three years old, and a soul mark actually appeared at this time?!

"It's okay......" Xia Ruohan's gray pupils were very obviously a hint of blue, and the originally dull left hand soul mark bloomed with a strange black light at this time.

"Why is that? Why do you have this kind of power......" Xia Ruohan's expression became more and more strange, but a trace of unnaturalness could be clearly felt.

"Ah...... Uh......" Xia Yuan's face slowly turned pale, looking at Xia Ruohan's equally abnormal face......

(Note: At this time, Xia Yuan did not awaken because the martial soul did not awaken, so the ability of the tear mole did not appear, but for special reasons, Xia Ruohan was affected by the tear mole that had not yet awakened, but the effect caused was not the same)

"It's weird...... I feel ......" Xia Ruohan gently hugged Xia Yuan, who was unconscious and lying in his arms and fell into a deep sleep, with many expressions on his face.

But the most, of course, is "doubt".

She didn't know why she did this, she only knew that there seemed to be a voice in her heart that had been hinting at her, but the most important thing might be Xia Yuan's strange attraction......

The blue pupils clearly imprinted Xia Yuan's figure, and after glancing at the dark black sword-shaped mark that appeared on his left hand, Xia Ruohan knew that his martial soul was no longer the previous "waste martial soul", but ......

"How strange...... I obviously don't want to be a soul master...... But now......" Xia Ruohan raised his head and gently stroked Xia Yuan's hair: "Why did it change...... Do you want power so much? Why? ”。

“…… No...... It's not about power...... I want to protect you...... Hey, it seems weirder? ”

"However, this power comes from you, even if I can't protect you all the time, I have to be responsible for you?"
