Chapter 326 I Am Your Father
Although the town they entered was remote and located on the edge of the Tiandou Empire, it was not small in size and the scene was much more lively than expected.
Except for the lack of city walls and martial spirit halls, it looked not much different from a small city. There were shops on both sides of the street, and pedestrians were coming and going in an endless stream. There were all kinds of shops.
Compared with the quietness in the depths of the Xingdou Great Forest and the dullness along the way, this place was a little smaller in size, but it was full of popularity everywhere.
Countless noisy hawking, shouting, arguing and discussing voices came one after another and continued to reach the ears of the two.
Su Cheng was fine and was not affected too much.
He had seen many city scenes that were countless times more prosperous than this place.
But the Silver Dragon King had never experienced such a scene before. He moved his eyes slightly and immediately listened to and received various messages:
There was an adventure team composed of soul masters, who were discussing the subsequent battle plan and future soul ring selection; there were also ordinary vendors bargaining with passers-by, talking about the number of gold soul coins and silver soul coins; there were even quarrels between lovers and the voice of a father scolding his son...
"Why do you want to take my surname? What, do you want to be my daughter?"
Su Cheng looked around while walking and looked at the surrounding scene, and joked casually.
But this was just a joke. It seems that the dragon clan does not have the saying that offspring should take the father's surname.
"I am your father."
"?"
Su Cheng suddenly stopped, looked down in astonishment, and looked at the petite girl beside him who had now turned black hair and black eyes.
Even if she followed Su Cheng's advice and turned her short silver hair and purple eyes into a relatively ordinary black, her tender cheeks were still as delicate as porcelain, with a kind of beauty that transcended the world.
But it doesn't matter.
The key is, how can such words come out of her mouth!
"What did you just say?!" Su Cheng asked in disbelief.
"I am your father."
"... Where did you learn this?"
"He just said that."
As she said that, Su Yue pointed to the middle-aged man who was scolding his son not far away.
Su Cheng looked in the direction she pointed, and was still saying something like "I am your father, it is natural for you to listen to me."
Su Cheng twitched his mouth slightly.
It's bad.
I haven't taught formally here yet, and this child has already started to learn bad things.
"Don't say such things casually, do you understand civilized language? Besides, they are biological father and son, is it the same as your situation?!"
"Oh."
Su Yue nodded without refutation, and turned her dark eyes to look around.
"..."
Su Cheng's lips moved slightly when he saw this, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to continue walking into the town in silence.
But as he walked, he felt something was wrong.
Even if this Silver Dragon King had never entered human society before, he had lived for many years and had always communicated with soul beasts such as Di Tian. He had also seen some humans. He was not really a six-year-old child as he appeared to be.
Whether in terms of memory or thinking, he was obviously an adult. It was impossible for something like "childish talk" to happen.
"... You just scolded me on purpose, 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 selling tools, as if she was thinking about something.
Su Cheng shook his head helplessly and scanned the town with her.
"The situation of soul beasts is really not optimistic." Looking at it, he sighed casually, "Or rather, soul beasts themselves are almost like livestock raised by humans. They can be used whenever they want, just like a complete supply chain."
"..."
Su Yue looked calm when she heard this.
In fact, she was also thinking about similar problems just now.
Although there are many shops in this border town, except for those restaurants and accommodations that are related to livelihood, the main business scope of most shops is almost related to soul masters, or hunting soul beasts.
Weapons, armor, poisons, recovery potions, and various special clothing for adventure teams.
If it were just that, it could be said that it might be related to the internal struggle between soul masters, but those weapons or armors basically have special attack or special defense effects, such as anti-poison clothing for insect attacks, fire weapons for plant defense, etc.
In this case, it is most likely to target soul beasts.
Because low-level soul masters mostly fight in teams, pay attention to cooperation and complementation, and rarely create equipment with special attributes.
On the contrary, there are very few conventional 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 some things here."
"Verify what?" Su Yue glanced at him, "Aren't you from outer space and know nothing about this world?"
"Although the worlds are different, there are always similarities in the essence of operation. Since there are auspicious beasts in your soul beast clan, there is a high probability that there are also unique people with good fortune in the human world."
"Oh." Su Yue nodded, and was a little confused, "How do you know that if you wait here, you can see that kind of person appear?"
"So I said that I need to verify it, wait for a while and see, if I really meet him, it's not too late to talk about it then."
Just over a month after Su Cheng and his companions entered the remote town outside the Xingdou Great Forest, many soul masters settled here one after another.
As for their ultimate goal, it was obviously to go to that vast forest to hunt soul beasts and improve their realm.
On this day, Zhao Wuji, the vice president of Shrek Academy, also brought seven students from his own academy, four men and three women, into the town.
Looking at the scene in the town, Oscar couldn't help but sigh, "As the saying goes, you live by the mountain and eat by the mountain, and you live by the water and eat by the water. This town relies on the Star Dou Great Forest, and it is well built. There are probably quite a few similar towns nearby."
Tang San, who was walking by, was a little surprised when he heard this, "Isn't it nearly a hundred kilometers away from the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Oscar smiled and said, "You must be used to going to the forest where the state raises soul beasts. Most of the captive soul beasts have relatively gentle habits and rarely attack humans. Wild soul beasts like the Star Dou Great Forest are different. Soul beasts are not only extremely ferocious, but some of the soul beasts in the periphery will even often walk out of the forest range, and it is very likely to attack humans."
At this time, Zhao Wuji pointed to a two-story hotel in front of him that provided food and accommodation and said, "Let's stay here. Rest for one night and set off early tomorrow morning. You will pay for accommodation and meals."
After that, he led everyone in, and then opened a single room for himself and went upstairs directly.
Several students found a table in the corner and sat down to order dishes.
However, no one, including the Soul Saint Zhao Wuji, noticed that there were two figures following behind them, who walked into the hotel with them and sat next to another empty table not far from them.
"Are you waiting for these people?"
Su Yue glanced at Tang San and others and asked Su Cheng.
Except for the strong middle-aged man who led the group just now, the others were all teenagers in their early teens.
There were also several people whose ages were almost the same as Su Cheng's current age, and they were a few years older than she was now.
But she didn't feel that there was anything special about these people, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Yeah."
Su Cheng nodded, not caring about the other party's random thoughts at this time.
He was indeed waiting for Tang San and others.
Judging from the time, these talented soul masters of Shrek Academy should rush to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts for promotion around this time.
And the small town where he was staying was the most convenient place to stay between Shrek Academy and the Star Dou Great Forest.
Of course, all the premise is that there are no other changes in this simulation, so we can wait for them.
Su Cheng was not sure about this, so he just said to try to wait.
Anyway, Su Yue has just entered the human society, and it will take some time to observe and adapt. A year or two is completely worth waiting.
"You should pay more attention to that Tang San and Xiao Wu."
Su Cheng looked at several Shrek students and whispered to the girl beside him.
The conversation of those people naturally could not be hidden from 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 mentioned by Su Cheng.
"Huh?" Su Yue's eyes moved slightly, and she instantly realized Xiao Wu's special identity, "Hundred thousand years of soft bone rabbit..."
She immediately turned her head to look at Su Cheng, "That Xiao Wu is a hundred thousand years of soul beast in human form."
"Oh, really, then you should pay more attention to her."
Su Cheng responded absent-mindedly.
His eyes were fixed on the girl with a beautiful face and a hot body, and a huge wave of emotion was stirred in his heart.
Netherworld White Tiger!
The martial soul in Zhu Zhuqing was not the original Netherworld Spirit Cat, but the Netherworld White Tiger martial soul after the fusion of the White Tiger martial soul!
And it was not an ordinary Netherworld White Tiger, but a Netherworld White Tiger martial soul with pure and perfect bloodline and potential comparable to the god level, which was almost the same as the real Zhu Zhuqing!
"How is it possible?"
Su Cheng was in doubt.
He carefully examined the expression, words and deeds of the girl in black, and felt more and more confused, "No, not Zhuqing in real life..."
He knew Zhu Zhuqing's personality and style very well.
The girl not far away was obviously not as shrewd as the Zhu Zhuqing he knew. What she was thinking could almost be observed from the subtle changes in her eyes.
If it were her in real life, it would be almost difficult for Su Cheng to figure it out.
Not only that, her personality is not right, not so quiet and indifferent.
Although her expression is still cold, it is more of an introversion in nature, rather than a cold and hard protective shell formed by long-term exposure to oppressive environment, which instinctively avoids all outsiders.
This is normal.
After all, if she and Zhu Zhuyun do not constitute a life-and-death competition, then with Zhu Zhuyun's personality, plus the close blood relationship between the two sisters, it is unlikely that such a deep contradiction will accumulate.
"However, since she has awakened the Nether White Tiger Martial Spirit, why did she still appear in the Heaven Dou Empire? Is it because the Zhu family is afraid? But joining Shrek Academy is also a coincidence?"
Su Cheng's thoughts surged 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.
"Does this change in Zhu Qing mean that she has obtained the 'spiritual seed' described in the simulation start? Is she one of the companions of destiny? But in any case, since Zhu Qing has awakened the Nether White Tiger Martial Spirit, we can't turn a blind eye to her. At least, we can't let her get too close to those people."
If it is an ordinary simulation, Su Cheng can still treat most irrelevant characters as virtual characters that have nothing to do with reality.
But such Zhu Zhu Qing makes it difficult for him not to regard the other party as the incarnation of a partner in reality.
The most important thing is that if the other party's identity is really a companion of destiny, maybe after the mission is over and returning to reality, he will also get related memories, so he must be on guard.
After roughly sorting out his thoughts, Su Cheng calmed down and gradually calmed down.
At this time, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance from his nose.
Turning his head, he found that Su Yue did not observe Tang San and Xiao Wu as he said, but stared at him closely.
A pair of dark eyes, as deep as a well, startled him.
Su Cheng subconsciously leaned back, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"..."
Su Yue didn't say anything, but just lowered her eyes slightly, half-squinted her eyes and quietly examined him.
After a while, she turned her head and looked at the young men who were about the same age as Su Cheng sitting at the table.
"You know them."
"I said, these people are very unusual, each of them is a child of destiny, and they are favored by the world's luck. In the future, they may become an existence that can influence the future direction of mankind."
Su Cheng knew that his reaction just now was indeed a bit suspicious.
Although there was only a slight fluctuation on the surface, it was difficult to hide the sharp intuition of the former Silver Dragon King.
Su Yue's pupils moved slightly, and she glanced at the people at another table.
Among these people, only Tang San, Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar had reasonable talents.
Oscar, among them, was blessed with a very special food-type martial spirit. In terms of talent alone, he was far inferior to Tang San, who had twin martial spirits, and Zhu Zhuqing, who had a god-level martial spirit.
As for the others, she didn't think they were special.
However, Su Yue didn't delve into it, but just carefully examined the black-clothed girl with a beautiful face, extraordinary temperament, and an exaggeratedly good figure.
"Who is she?"
"I'm not sure either, I need to observe more."
Su Cheng frowned, his voice slightly puzzled.
Su Yue obviously didn't ask about Zhu Zhuqing's name, the names of these people had all been exposed in their respective conversations.
She should want to ask what was special about the other party.
After all, her previous attention was almost entirely 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 was also his question.
"Is she your friend too?"
"I've already said that I don't know her situation, so how can I call her a friend? Besides, even if I want to make friends with her, she doesn't know me."
"Oh."
Su Yue nodded, and her eyes turned back to Tang San and Xiao Wu.
After a while, she suddenly asked again: "Are you humans so casual in making friends?"
