A few days passed, and Yan Jin and Wei Xi settled into life with the caravan. Their days were spent meditating and playing with Sheng Yin, who was growing more attached to the duo. While their interactions with Sheng Lao remained cordial, they were cautious and observant. In the short time they had been with the caravan, they had faced three attacks from the lightning wolves.
Now, they found themselves at their last stop before leaving the Beast Forest. Wei Xi had embarked on a mission to discover what was attracting the wolves, while Yan Jin continued learning the intricacies of soul energy manipulation from Sheng Yin.
"So, if soul power is willpower, does that mean I can exert my will on things?" Yan Jin asked during one of their lessons.
"Yeah," Sheng Yin responded, her small voice resonating in his mind. "Grandma said people can heal, hypnotize, even fly with soul power. But Yin'er is very weak. I can only will speech into minds."
