Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 48 Laughing at Hongchen

Compared to his equally gifted granddaughter Meng Hongchen, Jing Hongchen is more optimistic about his grandson Xiao Hongchen. Although Meng Hongchen's Crimson-eyed Ice Toad martial soul is equally powerful, it is not of much help in making soul guides. Moreover, the Crimson-eyed Ice Toad has defects. Its cold poison will backfire on its owner. If Meng Hongchen is not careful, the cold poison will attack her heart and she will die.

Meng Hongchen's growth path is much more bumpy than Xiao Hongchen's. As long as Xiao Hongchen follows the steps, he will have the opportunity to surpass his grandfather Jing Hongchen, but Meng Hongchen may die from her own cold poison before she can grow up. Of course, Jing Hongchen will not watch his granddaughter go to a dead end. He has been prepared for this.

Seeing that his sister actually ran over to chat with others while he was absorbing the soul ring, Xiao Hongchen's face darkened and he looked at the only male present besides him and his grandfather with an unfriendly look.

Sensing Xiao Hongchen's unfriendly gaze, Liu Xing was confused. What was going on? He hadn't offended this guy with a nose and eyes!
However, Liu Xing was not afraid of Xiao Hongchen. He greeted him with a smile, which prevented Xiao Hongchen from getting angry. He could only look at Meng Hongchen and said in a deep voice, "Meng, what are you doing?"

Meng Hongchen looked back at Xiao Hongchen in confusion and asked in surprise, "What are you doing? Making friends! What else can you do?"

Xiao Hongchen's mouth twitched. He knew his sister very well and would not believe the other party's nonsense. Although Meng Hongchen did not have pride written on her face like him, Meng Hongchen's pride was not low at all. She disdained to make friends with ordinary people and would never take the initiative to talk to others.

Unless the other person's appearance is extremely good, yes, his sister is an absolute face control. After taking a look at the white-haired and blue-pink-eyed Liuxing, Xiao Hongchen had to admit that the other person's appearance was slightly better than his. No wonder Meng was so proactive.

He's so cute at just six years old, what will he be like when he grows up? Isn't this a special attack on his sister?

Thinking of this, Xiao Hongchen became even more hostile towards Liuxing.

Liu Xing looked at Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen thoughtfully, and suddenly realized, "So he's a sister complex! Look at me controlling him."

"Sister Meng, are you guys going back to Mingdu? It's a pity we haven't found a suitable soul beast yet, otherwise we could still go back together."

Liuxing approached Meng Hongchen and said with a look of regret.

Meng Hongchen looked at Liuxing's face, his mind in a trance. He subconsciously patted his chest and said, "It's okay. What soul beast are you looking for? Sister Meng asked Grandpa to help you find it."

"Cough cough!"

Jing Hongchen's monocle almost fell off, and he pretended to cough twice. Xiao Hongchen staggered and looked at Meng Hongchen in disbelief.

Luan Yu almost burst out laughing, she held back her laughter and gave Liu Xing a thumbs up.

Liuying puffed up her cheeks unhappily and glared at Liuxing angrily. Why were you calling me so intimately and getting so close to me?

Ye Guyi and Xu Tianzhen looked at the scene in confusion, wondering what was wrong with everyone.
Liu Xing hadn't expected the effect to be so good. Was he some kind of succubus? Meng Hongchen's defense was too low. He had only just launched a basic attack, and the opponent was already in a state of collapse!
"Ahem! Meng, come back. Grandpa still has things to deal with at Mingde Hall. Besides, with Ice Phoenix Douluo here, Grandpa can't help much."

Jing Hongchen hurriedly called back Meng Hongchen. God knew why his granddaughter was so obsessed with looks. If they stayed any longer, he felt that her would abandon him and Xiao Hongchen and stay in the Demon Forest with Luanyu and the others.

"Okay then! Liuxing, what kind of soul beast do you need? We have been wandering around the outskirts of the Demon Forest for a long time. Maybe we have encountered the soul beast you need." Meng Hongchen looked at Liuxing regretfully, and walked towards Jing Hongchen reluctantly, looking back and asking as he walked.

Liuxing's eyes lit up. When they first came to the Demon Forest, it was indeed full of novelty, but after a long time, they would feel dull and boring. It would be best if Meng Hongchen's information could help them save time.

"Thank you, Sister Meng. We need a divine soul beast that's about four hundred years old, and a fire soul beast that's about a thousand years old."

"Divine attribute? Thousand-year soul beast?"

Not only Meng Hongchen, Jing Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen also looked at Liuxing in surprise. A four-hundred-year-old sacred attribute soul beast was understandable, but what the hell was a thousand-year-old soul beast? Don't tell them, there was a Soul Master among these little guys?
Although Meng Hongchen didn't know why Liu Xing and the others wanted a thousand-year-old soul beast, with Bing Feng Douluo around, they wouldn't act rashly. Since they were just strangers, she didn't ask any more questions. After a moment of contemplation, she looked at Jing Hongchen and said, "Grandpa, I remember seeing a bird of paradise in a valley a few days ago. It seems to be a soul beast with sacred and light attributes, right? I just don't know how old it is."

Jing Hongchen glanced at Liu Xing deeply. He was still very concerned about why Liu Xing and the others were looking for a thousand-year-old soul beast. But with Luan Yu around, he didn't ask too much. He smiled and said, "You are very lucky. That happened to be a hundred-year-old bird of paradise, between three hundred and five hundred years old. You need to confirm the specific age yourself."

Then Jing Hongchen handed the map recording the location of the bird of paradise to Luanyu.

"Thank you very much, Master Hongchen. Without you, I don't know how long we would have to search for it."

Luan Yu looked at the map of the outer area of ​​the Demon Forest that recorded the location of the Bird of Paradise, and his face lit up with joy. Soul beasts with sacred attributes are already rare, especially in this Demon Forest. As the name suggests, the soul beasts in the Demon Forest tend to be more dark in nature. Although there are also bright and sacred ones, they are very rare and difficult to encounter.

Luan Yu was mentally prepared from the beginning. If he couldn't find a soul beast with divine attributes, he would let Ye Guyi absorb the soul ring of a soul beast with light attributes. Although it was not as good as the divine attribute, it was not bad either.

Now that we have the most difficult to find soul beast with the sacred attribute, the fire attribute is even easier. Soul beasts with the fire attribute are not rare attributes, but if we want a more advanced soul beast, we still have to spend some effort.

"Then, Master Hongchen, we will take our leave. There are three children here who need spirit rings."

Luan Yu looked at Jing Hongchen and said goodbye.

"Okay, it's time for us to go back. See you tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the day when these children are admitted to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy."

Jing Hongchen's face was full of smiles. This time he put aside his affairs just to find the most suitable soul beast for Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen. His goal had been achieved and it was time to go back. Not to mention that he had discovered four big surprises, Liuxing and the others. He was already looking forward to the storm they would create in the academy after joining the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

"Goodbye, Sister Meng."

Liuxing also waved to Meng Hongchen. The other party helped them. Without Meng Hongchen's advice, they didn't know when they would be able to find a soul beast suitable for Ye Guyi.
