Chapter 44: I Am Your Father
The town that the two entered was located in a remote area, located on the edge of the Heaven Dou Empire, but the scale of the town was not small, and the scene was much more lively than imagined.
In addition to the lack of city walls and martial soul halls, it looks not far from a small city. The streets are lined with shops and pedestrians, and there are all kinds of shops.
Compared to the solitude in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, and the blandness when walking along the way, although this place is a little smaller, it is full of popularity everywhere.
Countless noisy shouts, shouts, arguments and discussions came one after another, and continued to reach the ears of the two people.
Su Cheng was okay and was not affected too much.
He had seen many cities that were countless times more prosperous than here.
But the Silver Dragon King had never experienced such a scene before, and he moved his eyes slightly, and immediately quickly listened to and received all kinds of information:
Among them, there is an adventure team composed of soul masters, who are exchanging follow-up battle plans and future soul ring selection; There were also ordinary traders who bargained with passing travelers, talking about the number of gold soul coins and silver soul coins; There are even quarrels between couples and the sound of Lao Tzu reprimanding his son......
"Why do you want to take my surname, what, you can't be my daughter?"
Su Cheng looked around at the surrounding scene as he walked, and teased casually.
But this is just a joke, and the dragon clan doesn't seem to have descendants who want to take their father's surname.
"I'm your father."
“?”
Su Cheng paused suddenly, looked down in amazement, and looked at the petite girl beside him who had now turned into black hair and black eyes.
Even though she followed Su Cheng's advice and turned her short silver hair and purple eyes into a relatively ordinary black, her immature cheeks were still as delicate as porcelain, with a sense of beauty that was beyond the world.
But it doesn't matter.
The point is, how can such words come out of her mouth!
"What did you just say?!" Su Cheng asked in disbelief.
"I'm your father."
“…… Where did you learn this? ”
"That's what he just said."
As she spoke, Su Yue stretched out her hand and pointed to the middle-aged man who was reprimanding her son not far away.
Su Cheng looked in the direction she was pointing, and was still saying something like "Lao Tzu is your father, it's natural for you to listen to me".
Su Cheng twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.
It's broken.
I haven't even started teaching yet, and this kid has already started to learn badly.
Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, you can't understand civilized language. Besides, they are biological fathers and sons, is it the same thing as yours?! ”
"Oh."
Su Yue nodded and didn't refute, and turned her dark eyes to look around.
“……”
Seeing this, Su Cheng's lips moved slightly, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to continue walking towards the town speechlessly.
But as he walked, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.
Even if this Silver Dragon King has never entered human society in the past, he has lived for many years, and there is always communication with Emperor Tian and other soul beasts, and he has also seen some humans, but he has not really become a six-year-old child like this.
Whether it is memory or thinking, they are obviously adults, and it is impossible for anything like "childlike words" to really happen.
“…… You just deliberately scolded me, right? ”
This time, Su Yue did not respond, but continued to silently look at the scene in the town.
Her eyes were more focused on the shops that sold tools, as if she was thinking about something.
Su Cheng shook his head helplessly, and also glanced at the town with her.
"The situation of soul beasts is really not optimistic." Looking at it, he sighed casually, "In other words, the soul beast itself is almost like a domestic animal raised by humans, and it can be used as you go, just like a complete supply chain." ”
“……”
Su Yue's face was calm when she heard this.
In fact, she was thinking about a similar question just now.
Although there are many shops in this border town, except for those catering and accommodation related to livelihood, most of the shops are mainly related to soul masters, or hunting soul beasts.
Weapons, armor, poisons, recovery potions, and all sorts of special clothing for your adventure party.
If that's all it takes, it can be said that it may be related to the internal struggle between soul masters, but those weapons or armor basically have special attack or special defense effects, such as anti-poison suits against insect attacks, fire-based weapons against plant-based defenses, and so on.
In this case, there is a high probability that it is aimed at soul beasts.
Because of the low-level soul masters, most of them focus on team combat, pay attention to cooperation and complementarity, and rarely create equipment with special attributes.
And there is very little regular equipment sold here, which is very telling.
"Next, we will stay here for a while to help you adapt to the environment of human society. In addition, I have to verify a few things here. ”
"Verify what?" Su Yue glanced at him, "Aren't you from outside the world and don't know anything about this world?" ”
"Although the world is different, there will always be similarities in the essence of operation. Since there are Rui beasts in your soul beast clan, then in the human world, there is a high probability that there are also people with unique luck. ”
"Oh." Su Yue nodded, and was a little puzzled, "How do you know that when you wait here, you can see that kind of character appear?" ”
"So I said that we need to verify it, wait for a while, and if it does, it's not too late to talk about it then."
Just after Su Cheng and the others entered this remote town outside the Star Dou Great Forest for more than a month, many soul masters settled here one after another.
As for their ultimate goal, it was obvious that they were all going to that vast forest to hunt soul beasts and improve their realm.
On this day, Zao Wou-Ki, the vice president of Shrek Academy, also walked into this town with four men, three women and seven students from his own academy.
Looking at the scene in the town, Oscar couldn't help but sigh, "The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water." This town relies on the Star Dou Great Forest, and the construction is decent, and there are probably not a few similar towns in this vicinity. ”
Tang San, who was walking on the side, was a little surprised when he heard this, "Isn't there still a distance of nearly a hundred kilometers from the Star Dou Great Forest here?" ”
Oscar smiled: "You must have gotten used to going to the forest where the national captive soul beasts are raised." Most of those captive soul beasts have relatively mild habits and rarely take the initiative to attack humans. The Wild Soul Beast Colony like the Star Dou Great Forest is different, not only are the soul beasts extremely ferocious, but some of the soul beasts on the periphery will even often go out of the forest, and it is very likely that there will be incidents of attacking humans. ”
At this time, Zao Wou-Ki pointed to a two-story hotel in front of him that integrated food and accommodation and said, "Let's live here." Rest for the night and set off early tomorrow morning. You are responsible for the cost of accommodation and meals. ”
After saying that, he walked in with everyone, and then opened a single room for himself and went upstairs directly.
A few students found a table in the corner and sat down and began to order.
However, no one including Zao Wou-ki, the Soul Saint, noticed that there were two figures behind them, who walked into the hotel with them, and sat down at another empty table not far from a few people.
"Are you just waiting for these people?"
Su Yue glanced at Tang San and the others and asked Su Cheng.
Except for the majestic middle-aged man who led the way just now, the others were all teenagers in their early teens.
There are several people among them, who are almost the same age as Su Cheng today, and a few years older than their current self.
But she didn't feel anything special about these people, and she couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"Hmm."
Su Cheng nodded, not caring about the other party's crankiness at this time.
He was indeed waiting for Tang San and the others.
Judging from the time, these genius soul masters of Shrek Academy should have rushed to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts for promotion around this time.
And the town where he is now accommodating is the most convenient place to stay between Shrek Academy and the Star Dou Great Forest.
Of course, all the premise is that they can wait until there are no other changes in this simulation.
Su Cheng was also unsure about this, so he only said that he would try to wait.
Anyway, Su Yue has just entered human society, and it will take some time to observe and adapt, and a year and a half can be completely affordable.
"You pay more attention to that Tang San and Xiao Wu."
Su Cheng looked at several of Shrek's students and whispered to the girl beside him.
The conversations of those people naturally couldn't hide the perception of the two, and their identities were quickly identified by Su Yue one by one.
"Oh." She nodded, and shifted her gaze to the two people who were highlighted by Su Cheng.
"Huh?" Su Yue's eyes moved slightly, and she instantly sensed Xiao Wu's special identity, "100,000-year-old soft bone rabbit ......"
She immediately turned her head to look at Su Cheng, "That Xiao Wu is a 100,000-year-old soul beast incarnation. ”
"Oh, yes, then you have to keep an eye on her."
Su Cheng replied a little absentmindedly.
His eyes were fixed on the girl with a beautiful face and an extremely hot figure at this time, and a huge wave was set off in his heart.
Nether White Tiger!
The martial soul on Zhu Zhuqing's body is not the original ghost cat, but the ghost white tiger martial soul after fusing the white tiger martial soul!
And it is not an ordinary Netherworld White Tiger, it is a Netherworld White Tiger martial soul with pure and perfect bloodline, potential comparable to god-level, and almost the same as Zhu Zhuqing in reality!
"How is that possible?"
Su Cheng was shocked in his heart.
He carefully examined the expression of the girl in black, her speech and demeanor, but he felt more and more puzzled, "No, it's not the real Zhuqing ......."
He knows Zhu Zhuqing's personality and style very well.
The girl not far away is obviously not as urbanized as Zhu Zhuqing who she knows, and almost all of her thoughts can be observed from the subtle changes in her eyes.
If she were in reality, it would be almost difficult for Su Cheng to see through.
Not only that, but her personality is not quite right, not so silent and indifferent.
Although the expression is still cold, it is more of an introversion in nature, rather than a cold and hard protective shell formed by being in a repressive environment for a long time, and instinctively avoiding all outsiders.
That's normal.
After all, if she and Zhu Zhuyun do not constitute a life-and-death competitive relationship, then with Zhu Zhuyun's personality and the blood relationship of the two sisters, they must not accumulate such deep contradictions.
"However, since she has awakened the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Spirit, why did she still appear in the Heaven Dou Empire? Is it because the Zhu family is afraid? But is it also a coincidence that I joined Shrek Academy? ”
Su Cheng's thoughts were surging in his heart, and for a while, even the matter of the Silver Dragon King was temporarily put aside.
He originally came to see Tang San and Xiao Wu, but he didn't expect that there would be other unexpected gains.
"This kind of change in Zhuqing's body does it mean that she has obtained the 'spiritual seed' in the description of the simulated opening? Is she one of the children of companion fate? But in any case, since Zhuqing has awakened the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Spirit, then he can't turn a blind eye to her. At the very least, she can't be allowed to get too close to those people. ”
If you talk about ordinary simulations, Su Cheng can also treat most irrelevant characters as virtual characters that have nothing to do with reality.
But such a Zhu Zhuqing is difficult for him not to see the other party as the embodiment of his partner in reality.
The most important thing is that if the identity of the other party is really the child of fate, maybe when the mission is over and returns to reality, he will also get relevant memories, which cannot be guarded against.
After roughly sorting out his thoughts, Su Cheng calmed down, and then gradually calmed down.
At this time, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance from his nose.
Turning his head to look, he found that Su Yue did not observe Tang San and Xiao Wu as he said, but stared at him at close range.
A pair of dark eyes like a deep well startled him.
Su Cheng subconsciously leaned back, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”
“……”
Su Yue didn't speak, just lowered her eyes slightly, and looked at him quietly with half-squinted eyes.
After a while, he turned his head and looked at the young men who were as old as Su Cheng sitting at the table.
"You know them."
"As I said, these people are very unusual, all of them are the pride of the sky, and they are the ones who are favored by the luck of the world. In the future, it may become an existence that can influence the future direction of mankind. ”
Su Cheng knew that his reaction just now was indeed a little suspicious.
Although there were only slight fluctuations on the surface, it was difficult to hide the keen intuition of this former Silver Dragon King after all.
Su Yue's pupils moved slightly, and she glanced at a few people next to the other table.
Among these people, the talents of Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar are reasonable.
Among them, Oscar is still stained with the light of a very special food-based martial soul, and in terms of talent alone, Tang San, who is far inferior to the twin martial souls, and Zhu Zhuqing, who is a god-level martial soul.
As for the others, she didn't think there was anything special.
However, Su Yue didn't delve into it, but just carefully examined the girl in black who had a beautiful face and extraordinary temperament, and a figure that was even better than an exaggerated figure.
"Who is she?"
"I don't know very well, I need to observe and observe."
Su Cheng frowned, his voice slightly puzzled.
Su Yue was obviously not asking Zhu Zhuqing's name, and the names of these people had all been exposed in their respective conversations.
What she wants to ask should be what makes the other party special.
After all, almost all of his previous attention was focused on Zhu Zhuqing, which was obviously noticed by Su Yue.
But Su Cheng really didn't know the specific situation of Zhu Zhuqing.
This is also his question.
"She's your friend too?"
"I said that I don't know her situation, where did my friend say it. What's more, even if I wanted to be friends with her, she didn't know me. ”
"Oh."
Su Yue nodded, and her gaze turned back to Tang San and Xiao Wu.
After a while, she suddenly asked, "Are you humans so casual when you make friends?" ”
