Just as she was about to defect, Bibi Dong obtained a simulator.

Chapter 46

Outside Wuhun City, Xie Yue crossed his arms and looked smugly at Xia Yu and Aunt Liu, who were staring at each other.

"You're the important person who wants to see me?"

Xia Yu hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, though it all seemed very strange.

"Is that not allowed?" Xie Yue asked with a grin, then pointed to the Purple Record Medal on his chest, which was proof of their golden generation.

"Am I not a big shot in the Spirit Hall?"

Xia Yu ignored Xie Yue, who was clearly insane, and turned to look at Aunt Liu.

"Aunt Liu, I'm a little hungry."

Aunt Liu perked up at these words and pulled Xia Yu along towards the orphanage.

"What do you want to eat? Auntie will make it for you."

"Either is fine, but meat would be best."

"Then let's go buy groceries first."

"it is good."

The two chatted back and forth, leaving Xie Yue, who was still posing with his eyes closed, standing behind them.

When he confidently opened his eyes, wanting to receive the adoring gazes he had imagined, all he found were a few little kids staring at him curiously, not understanding what he was doing.

Xie Yue felt a chill run down his spine. Who was he trying to impress with his performance? Seeing that several children were about to come over to play with him, he quickly turned and ran away.

When he caught up with Xia Yu and the other person, he was speechless.

"Aunt Liu, it's fine if Xia Yu doesn't call me, but why don't you call me either?"

Seeing Xie Yue's expression, Aunt Liu covered her mouth and laughed, then waved her hand and said, "I saw you were having fun by yourself, so I didn't bother you."

"."

"Hahaha!!"

Xia Yu suddenly burst into laughter, then desperately covered his mouth, because Xie Yue's murderous gaze was already locked on his face.

He coughed, barely suppressing a laugh, and then loudly proclaimed, "What should have been a leisurely and effortless affair is now a hurried and frantic scramble."

Listening to Xia Yu's recitation, Xie Yue didn't quite understand it, but for some reason felt that what had just happened was even more terrifying.

He grabbed Xia Yu's shoulder, his eyes flashing with malice, and said seriously, "Xia Yu, I advise you not to tell anyone about what just happened, especially not my sister, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?! Xie Yue, you've really made something of yourself, you've got a knack for bullying your own people!"

Before Xia Yu could even ask, Aunt Liu next to her got angry and loudly questioned Xie Yue, leaving Xie Yue momentarily stunned.

With a mournful face, he added the previous sentence: "Otherwise, don't force me to kneel down and beg you."

After saying this, Aunt Liu, who was originally furious, was immediately rendered speechless.

What is this nonsense? Would anyone really use such a forceful tone to say such cowardly things?

Aunt Liu felt that she had wasted the first half of her life, so God gave her some novel and wonderful things she had never seen before in the second half of her life.

"do not worry."

Xia Yu patted Xie Yue's shoulder with a sorrowful expression and spoke in a mournful voice.

"I definitely won't keep it from them."

"Then I'll let it go. Wait, what did you say?"

Just as Xie Yue was relieved, she heard Xia Yu say something that didn't seem quite right.

"I said I definitely wouldn't not tell them."

"No, could you explain it more clearly?"

The two chatted as they helped Aunt Liu buy groceries, then carried them back to the orphanage. Just like when they were children, they sat under the big tree in the corner of the wall to wait for lunch.

Two tall men sat on the ground without any regard for their appearance, completely disregarding the dirt they were getting on their clothes.

They were surrounded by a large group of children, talking about the world outside this small orphanage.

Xia Yu received a piece of clay from a child and then sculpted a sword-feathered eagle for her. He had sent Xiao Hei to the Star Dou Great Forest early that morning, since he didn't have a source of food to satisfy a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast; it would have to hunt for food itself.

After that, things got out of control. Some wanted the Mandragora Serpent, others wanted the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and still others wanted the Blue Silver Grass.

Worried that Xia Yu might not have seen them before, they even took out a copy of "Identifying Common Soul Beasts," a special edition provided by the Spirit Hall, from their room.

However, these common spirit beasts that can be recorded in the Spirit Hall's books are either numerous enough or strong enough in the Star Dou Great Forest. Xia Yu has seen them all over the years, and with his observational skills, it would be easy for him to create a similar one.

"It's done. What do you want?"

"I want a fox spirit."

"Alright, fox spirit?"

Seeing Xie Yue hand over a piece of modeling clay that he didn't know where he had borrowed it from, Xia Yu was speechless.

"Brother, you're so old, why do you still like this kind of thing like a kid?"

Xie Yue, unperturbed, said, "What you did was really good, just like seeing a real soul beast."

Xia Yu immediately looked up at Xie Yue a few times. He thought his Myriad Transformations Mask was no longer working, but after seeing that Xie Yue and the child next to him had almost identical expressions, he was relieved.

"Alright, I haven't really seen your sister's martial soul before. How about we change it to something else?"

Xie Yue hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"How about the Death Spider Queen?"

"Are you giving this to your sister?"

After thinking about it, Xia Yu came to this conclusion.

"Yeah, I think she really dislikes you. It would be good if we could ease the tension between you."

"Alright then, next one, little sister, what would you like?"

"I want an archangel!"

Xie Yue became anxious when he saw that Xia Yu was no longer going to do what he was supposed to do.

"What about mine? Why did you skip over me?"

Xia Yu's fingers were nimble as she kneaded the angel's body while speaking.

"I don't care what your sister thinks of me, let alone what most people on the Douluo Continent think of me."

"But my sister is actually a very good person; she just misunderstands you a bit."

"So what? I don't care."

"Then what do you care about?"

Seeing that Xia Yu was completely unmoved by reason, Xie Yue gave up and casually asked.

“I care about the orphanage where I grew up, and I care about Aunt Liu who took such good care of us. If I don’t care about the people and things that love me, what else can I care about? Some strangers who are just casual acquaintances?”

Xia Yu quickly finished the last few pieces, then combined the remaining clay together to create a multicolored moon blade.

"Well, even though you're not very good-looking, you can still be considered one of my friends."

Xie Yue took the somewhat comical clay moon blade and said, "Just barely?"

"It's alright, but I'm still hoping that you'll become an elder of the Spirit Hall in the future and be able to protect us."

Xia Yu had just gotten up and patted the dirt off his bottom when he heard Aunt Liu calling them.

"Let's go, Aunt Liu has prepared dinner."

Xie Yue stood still, the moon blade in his hand slightly deformed. He spoke, "Xia Yu, do you know which important figure wants to see you?"

"Isn't it you?"

Xia Yu looked helplessly at Xie Yue, who remained motionless behind him, shook his head, and continued walking forward.

"It's Her Holiness the Pope. She seems to have noticed that you're hiding something."

Xia Yu stopped in his tracks. A muffled clap of thunder sounded in the gloomy sky, announcing the arrival of rain.
