Spirit Souls

Huang Feng knocked on Gu Yue's door without reserve and shouted,

"Gu Yue, come out! I forgive you for your offense earlier!"

Seeing that there's nothing happening, Huang Feng began kicking the door loudly.

*BANG* *BANG*

After a few kicks, the door opened, greeted by Gu Yue's cold glare.

"Yo! I forgive you for your transgression earlier." Huang Feng smirked as he leaned to the door to prevent Gu Yue from closing it again.

Seeing his face again, Gu Yue's face twitched and said with a cold tone.

"Is that all?"

"No, the master is calling for us. It's time for us to get some Spirit Rings." He didn't care about her tone and replied casually.

Hearing that, Gu Yue's eyes furrowed before nodding.

Reluctantly stepping out of the room, Gu Yue joined her senior brother.

".... It's late, why did the master decide to do this?" Gu Yue didn't want to start anything but she was curious.

"Beats me, that's just how the old woman does things." Huang Feng replied with a shrug.

His teacher has always been weird. Other people outside consider her a noble woman but on close doors, she has some…questionable hobbies.

Huang Feng guesses that Yun Ming is to blame for this.

The love brain experience has caused his master's IQ to drop.

Gu Yue snorted softly after hearing that. This guy was really brave wasn't he?

Walking towards a certain room, Huang Feng opened the door for Gu Yue, making her enter first.

Gu Yue was surprised to see this but followrd.

After entering the room, they saw their master sitting on a chair along with various orbs that seemed to contain beasts, judging by various outlines engraved in it.

"Gu Yue," Leng Yaozhu warmly greeted her before squinting her eyes at the little guy,

".... What?" Huang Feng asked, a little nervous with how his master is looking at him.

"Did you just say something rude to me just now?"

"What?! How could I? My master is the most beautiful, most elegant, most compassionate woman of all. Compared to the Holy Spirit Douluo is simply incomparable! Atlas Douluo must have lacked vision for not choosing the master." Huang Feng stood upright and flattered.

Gu Yue's face twitched after hearing that.

"No need for this useless flattery." Leng Yaozhu waved her hand dismissively as if brushing him off but the uncontrollable curving of her mouth says otherwise.

As expected, children never lie. She thought.

Gu Yue and Huang Feng: "..."

They would have believed it if their master's smile wasn't visible, clearly taking the flattery to her heart.

Seeing her disciples looking at her with strange expression, Leng Yaozhu coughed lightly to compose herself and said, "You two must be wondering why I called you here."

"Yeah I should be sleeping right now…" Huang Feng muttered under his breath.

Leng Yaozhu ignored him and continued, "As you can see, these are what you called Spirit Souls. It's a long story but I already explained it to Xiao Feng."

Huang Feng pretended he didn't hear that nickname.

"Gu Yue, you can ask him about it but in short, these Spirit Souls are the ones that can allow you to have Spirit Rings."

"As the Deputy Master of the Spirit Pagoda, I can allow you to get the best Spirit Rings suitable for your Martial Souls." Leng Yaozhu finished with a smile.

After speaking, Leng Yaozhu looked at the two of them.

Huang Feng is just scratching his head since he already knows this while Gu Yue just have that blank expression on her face.

"... Master, I heard that the Spirit Souls in the Spirit Pagoda are created using the blood of various Spirit Beasts, is that true?" Gu Yue asked as calmly as possible but if one looked closely, they could see her clenching her fists.

"Yes," Leng Yaozhu blinked. Surprised by her question, "The founder of the Spirit Pagoda, Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao wanted to solve the problem related to the hunt of Spirit Beasts and their Spirit Rings."

"With his wisdom, the Spirit Ice Douluo succeeded and created the Spirit Pagoda." She said faintly but Gu Yue can feel the admiration in her voice.

Huang Feng almost laughed out loud when he heard Huo Yuhao used his "wisdom".

Despite trying, he still let out a chuckle which caught the attention of the two.

"Is there something funny?" Leng Yaozhu frowned.

"I'm sorry Master but you said that it's to solve the problems about hunting Spirit Beasts right?" Huang Feng composed himself and asked.

Gu Yue loosened her hands as she looked at Huang Feng.

"That's right." Leng Yaozhu nodded.

"Then doesn't that mean he failed?"

"..." Leng Yaozhu narrowed her eyes. This guy seems to be going a little too far.

She may be his master, but she's also the Deputy Master of the Spirit Pagoda.

If others were to say it, she would have become furious and show them why she's called the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo.

Gu Yue listened even more intently.

"Xiao Feng, we don't know what the ancestors have been through in order to create this. You are still young, and we cannot criticize them." Leng Yaozhu stood up and approached Huang Feng before patting his head.

"I'm not criticizing them master. I'm saying this because this is the result of what happened."

"Maybe it's unintentional but this is an undeniable fact." Huang Feng ignored her hand and said seriously.

"And what exactly do you mean by saying this? I didn't think you're the type to delve into this topic." Leng Yaozhu withdrew her hand and crossed her arms, looking down at her disciple.

Huang Feng is usually lazy, although he showed high intelligence and understanding, it wouldn't change his indifference to most things.

"I want to change the Spirit Pagoda!" Huang Feng looked up to his master. Not backing down despite her figure overshadowing him.

"And why is that?"

"Because I have the capability to do so."

"..."

Leng Yaozhu's eyes were covered in shadow and shoulders started trembling.

Huang Feng saw this and his body subconsciously tensed up.

Contrary to his expectations…

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA," His master laughed loudly, his ladylike appearance now gone.

She even ruffled his hair, messing it up.

"Master…" Huang Feng waved his arm in order to move hand.

"K-Kid… you are too arrogant," Leng Yaozhu wiped the tears in her eyes, as if she heard the funniest joke in her life.

"We are mortals. Even if Limit Douluos can live for centuries, it still doesn't change the fact that they are mortals."

"And as mortals, how can we understand what gods think?" She spread her hands and said helplessly.

"Let's stop this, you're still too young and you haven't seen the world yet. When you do, maybe your mind will change." Leng Yaozhu turned around and went to the machine containing spirit souls, obviously not wanting this topic to go further.

Huang Feng didn't say anything and just waited for his master.

"... You don't hate Spirit Beasts?" Unexpectedly, Gu Yue asked him on the side.

Huang Feng turned around and saw her hesitant expression.

But…

"I don't like them." He answered with disdain.

"..." When Gu Yue was just about to have a good impression on this guy, he unexpectedly showed his ignorance which made her angry.

"Then why did you even say those things?!" She was already annoyed seeing all these Spirit Souls so she couldn't help but raise her voice a little.

"Ha? Me not liking Spirit Beasts doesn't conflict with me telling about their situation. Just because I don't like them doesn't mean I'm blind." He said with annoyance.

"Why don't you like them?" Gu Yue asked. She doesn't even know why she cares about these things.

"Dunno."

"Ha?" She said with an incredulous look.

How does this guy's brain circuits work?!

"I dunno, maybe incompatibility, or maybe because I'm a human and they are not, in short, I just don't like them." Huang Feng replied.

Hearing this, Gu Yue frowned and even a faint murderous intent appeared in mind.

If this guy really had that kind of attitude towards Spirit Beasts, then with his talent, he would have been a great danger for them.

"But.." Huang Feng paused, "I don't like a lot of things. I don't like Shrek because they wear green, I don't like the surname Tang because it's the stupidest surname ever, I don't like Tang Sect because they are one of the stupidest organizations ever."

"And who are you exactly to hate them?" Gu Yue asked with an annoyed voice.

She thought that this guy was arrogant but she didn't expect he would be this arrogant.

"A nobody." Huang Feng answered casually, surprising Gu Yue.

"But as normal human beings, we obviously dislike those who lack intelligence compared to us."

"And you're saying that you're smarter than them?" Gu Yue asked with a mocking tone.

"Me? Of course not." Huang Feng shook his head in denial, surprising Gu Yue again.

Ugh, what's wrong with this guy?! He obviously despises many things but for some reason, he's well aware of it.

"But I won't make a stupid decision like them." Huang Feng read the series so he knows stuff like Shrek getting the 9/11 treatment and Yun Ming becoming a meme of how nukes can kill gods in Douluo Dalu.

"Since you said you don't like lots of things, does that include Spirit Pagoda, the master?" She asked, trying to see if this would stimulate him.

"I don't like Spirit Pagoda, that's true, that's why I want to change it." Huang Feng said, not bothering to hide his ambitions.

"As for master? Ehh… let's talk about that for another time." Huang Feng skipped the topic and waved his hand.

Gu Yue squinted her eyes and said with a threatening tone, "I wonder how the Spirit Pagoda will feel if the disciple of their Deputy Master despises the same organization that's helping him."

"Maybe you'll be classified as a white-eyed wolf."

Huang Feng raised his brow and looked at her before chuckling.

He stood in front of her before flicking her nose.

"You…!" Gu Yue covered her nose as tears appeared at the corner of her eyes.

As she was about to shove her fingers in his eyes, she heard another reply from him.

"You're thinking too much. I am just a kid, how can they take the words of a kid seriously?" Huang Feng spread his hands innocently but Gu Yue can still see the playfulness behind it.

"Huang Feng, Gu Yue, what were you two talking about?" Leng Yaozhu turned her head and called them, she could hear them with her Hyper Douluo strength but decided not to.

After all, this is a chance for them to get along but when she saw Huang Feng flicking her junior sister's nose, she decided to intervene.

Hearing their master's voice, Gu Yue held her thoughts and looked at Huang Feng with an angry expression.

I'll get you for this eventually!
