CH 120: listen, Mommy

CH 120

(Ali's POV)

"Hearing my brother's words, he thought that my brother can cure the poison since he can break the martial soul's soul skill.

And he was right, my brother had the ability to cure the poison in his granddaughter. And so, he promised that if my brother could cure him, he will let us go.

But my brother, who I call San'qe, didn't believe in his words and made him take a vow, which he thankfully took.

But Dugu Bo said that he must first pass a test of his. If he can make an antidote for three poisons which he will inflict on San'qe, then he will believe him. And he will even promise his three things that won't go against his principles.

After that, he took us to his herb garden which was like nothing I had ever seen. There was a huge hot spring which was ice cold on one half and extremely cold on the other half.

There were also all kinds of herbs everywhere around the herb garden. San'qe said that with the herbs here, he will definitely be able to cure his granddaughter and has a 50% chance of curing him.

When he went away because of his poison taking effect on his body, San'qe went around excitedly and looked at the herbs.

He then said that he wants to take two of the herbs and consume them. The herbs were Octa Dark Frost and Fiery Soft Apricot."

Uncle Guan's face immediately turned from one of impatience and anger to a shocked with wide eyes as he grabbed my shoulders and shook me :"w-what?! Xiao Ali, is it really the Octa Dark Frost and Fiery Soft Apricot?! Are they really those two?!"

But thankfully, he stopped shaking me when Dong'er asked :"Yue Guan, what are these two herbs? Why are you so shocked?"

He let go of me as he looked seriously at Dong'er :"your holiness, these two herbs are two sacred herbs. They are extremely rare and can help the soul master a lot!"

I coughed to get back their attention as I nodded :"yes, uncle Guan, San'qe also said that these two are sacred herbs.

And he also said that to consume them, one must consume them both at the same time. But I recommended another plan.

Uncle Guan, uncle Mei, you two are the people that I trust with all my heart and I know that your extremely loyal to master.

That's why, I wanted to show this to the two of you as well. Master, I have never showed this to you either since I never saw the chance."

As I finished my sentence, I raised my hand. A light began to glow on top of my hand before a cashew nut showed up and floated on top of my hand :"actually, I have triple martial souls."

They were all taken aback as they went wide eyes and mouth and shouted :"you have what?!" Man, thank goodness this place's soundproof is top notch.

I shrugged as I held up my Celestial Nut martial soul without summoning its soul rings :"I have triple martial souls."

Dong'er rubbed her forehead as she sighed :"and I thought your talent couldn't get any more monstrous... Why have you never told me anyway?"

I shrugged with a normal face :"you never asked and I never got the idea of how I should start the topic.

Like, was I supposed to just walk up to you and be like "hey, master! Did you know that I actually have triple martial souls? Well, you know now!"?

It would be really weird, right? And so, I... Kinda forgot to tell you... You can't blame me! You know how bad my memory can be sometimes!"

She put her face in her hand as she sighed :"did you honestly think that I will just ask :"hey, Ali, you don't happen to have a third martial soul, do you?"?"

I scratched my cheek with an awkward smile as I chuckled awkwardly :"well, that's why we never got to talk about it... We weren't going to attach a soul ring on it anyway, so no need to worry about it."

She rubbed her face before sighing :"okay, you have a point. But tell me things like this. I know that you are a genius, but don't expect me to know the limit of your monstrousity. So? How does you third martial soul have anything to do with those sacred herbs?"

I nodded with a smile as I got back to explaining :"well, you see, master, while I was going to suo tuo city, I got really bored.

So I entered a slightly low class soul beast forest to play around with the soul beasts a little bit.

But my luck was really good and I came across a very rare soul beast, the Carnivorous Vampiric Rose!

I didn't want this rare soul beast to just go to waste, but I already had my four soul rings and couldn't absorb it.

Then I remembered my third martial soul and that I hadn't attached a soul ring to it. So, knowing that this soul beast will give me a superb soul skill, I killed it and absorbed its ten thousand year soul ring.

And it really was a magical skill. As long as I absorbed a herb from its root into the cashew nut, I could summon it at any moment I want!

For a normal person, this would probably be a useless soul skill, but for me who can have access to many rare herbs, I knew just how precious it was.

And when I went to that place, it was like a miracle soul skill since there were many incredible herbs there that I could absorb!

And so, after telling San'qe about this, we agreed that I will absorb the two sacred herbs to my third martial soul so we can both absorb them.

After consuming the two sacred herbs, we both jumped into the ice fire mouth spring and started to absorb them.

San'qe apparently finished in a few hours, but I didn't finish for a few days. And after completing absorbing the sacred herbs and a little bit of the ice fire mouth spring's aura, my ice manipulation and fire manipulation reached the ultimate ice and ultimate fire!"

And once again, they were surprised, but they seemed to be getting tired from getting surprised so much.

I chuckled at their expressions before continuing :"and that's how I got my ultimate attributes. But when I exited the ice fire mouth spring, San'qe had already passed Dugu Bo's tests.

And he also told me that his master, dean Flender and Liu Erlong had came looking for us and had actually gotten into a fight with Dugu Bo with Liu Erlong putting up a good fight.

But San'qe interfered and told the three that Dugu Bo just took us to teach San'qe poison. He also had Dugu Bo promise that he won't hurt anyone from Shrek school.

And well, that's how we stayed there for six months. In those six months, me and San'qe also became friends with Dugu Bo and have even give each other niabsorbing the sacred herbs and a little bit of the ice fire mouth spring's aura, my ice manipulation and fire m us isn't bad at all, but I haven't told him that I'm from the martial soul hall since I knew he and uncle Guan have fought before.

But still, if you two could solve your last problems, I may be able to convince him to join us and we can have another titled douluo.

After that, he told us that he doesn't want to keep locked up in his herb garden anymore and will let us go.

It was then that San'qe asked for the other two things. One, he will let us take some herbs from his herb garden, and two, he will join Shrek just in title.

We two had planned the first request a long time ago, so after he agreed after a little convincing to the second wish, we completely robbed his herb garden before we made a run for it!

But luckily for him, I had absorbed all of his herbs into my third martial soul and had actually summoned each of them so San'qe can also have one of each to leave their seeds behind.

He calmed down after knowing that the herbs will grow back after a few years and just walked with us back to Shrek School.

But when we got back, we found a very shocking news. It seems that Yu Xiaogang was actually... Eight months pregnant..."

Now, this time, they were taken a different kind of aback. The honestly "what the fuck??" Kind of taken aback.

Uncle Mei blinked a few times as he made a face of disgust :"but... He's a guy..." I get it, we already have balls pain, may God have mercy if we could get pregnant as well.

I raised my hands as I shrugged :"yeah, he is. But I guess a miracle happened... I don't none of those miracles. Other people can have them."

Uncle Mei nodded with a serious face :"I couldn't agree more, Xiao Ali. I don't ever want to experience that horror."

I coughed into my fist before taking a deep breath :"anyway, I actually saw later on that it's seriously true and his stomach has actually turned into one of a pregnant person.

But I just ignored it and we went to meet up with our teammates who San'qe had brought the other sacred herbs that I had summoned for to absorb.

There were other sacred herbs in that magical place, and I had absorbed all of them into my third martial soul.

Other than one. There was one sacred herb that my soul skill couldn't absorb no matter how many times I tried, the Lovesick Heartbroken Scarlet."

Hearing the name, uncle Guan took a sharp breath as he gulped :"t-the Lovesick Heartbroken S-scarlet... You actually got your hands on that herb..."

Everybody stared at his stuttering form before uncle Mei asked with a confused look :"Guan, what is this herb? Is it even more special than the previous two?"

I began to explain the flower and the story that San'qe told, letting them know just how amazing the herb is before uncle Guan shakily grabbed my shoulders :"X-xiao Ali, y-you didn't give i-it to anybody else, r-right?"

I smirked before shaking my head :"hell no! No way would I give that to anybody else! ... But... I let a girl try it...

You see, while traveling to the suo tuo city, I actually saw a few people trying to assassinate a girl.

I... Saved that girl and found out that girl has the same destination as me, so we went together. She was a nice girl, polite, but kind of cold.

Later on when we both got accepted, we found out that we actually have martial soul fusion skill... And 100% soul power harmonization..."

All of them were surprised, but I noticed how Dong'er's fist tightened as her eyebrows twitched in rage before going back before anyone else noticing.

Uncle Guan shook me with a happy smile as he congratulated me while I started to sweat out of fear and nervousness :"congratulations, xiao Ali!

Having a martial soul fusion skill is an extremely rare thing, but 100% soul power harmonization is the stuff of legend!"

Uncle Mei also smiled as he nodded at me :"yeah, congratulations, xiao Ali! You are really lucky this time to have found someone who has a martial soul fusion skill with you."

I gulped as I thought that I might as well say it now since it's better to let Dong'er know sooner than later.

I will definitely be getting a scolding and a "punishment" later on anyway, so might as well not hide it from her to not make her even angrier.

I nodded before I gulped :"yeah, I'm really lucky. Especially since we both were attracted to each other and started officially dating four months later."
