Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul is Black Kite, the Herrscher of Knowledge

"Fu Li, this, this, I want to eat this!"

Ah Ji nestled on Fu Li's head, pointed excitedly at a string of candied hawthorns by the roadside, and said...

"Okay, whatever you say." Fu Li glanced at the stall and asked the owner, "Boss, how much are your candied hawthorns?"

The shopkeeper cautiously examined the strange combination: a little boy and a talking chicken.

However, once he heard that the other party wanted to buy his things, he didn't care too much. As long as he could make money, that was enough for him.

"Little friend, four Federal Coins for a string of them, ten Federal Coins for three strings. How many do you want?"

"Then three skewers, please."

Fu Li paid the money promptly, took the three skewers of candied hawthorns handed to him by the shopkeeper, and turned to leave.

Ah Ji held a string of chickens in one wing and devoured them with gusto.

Fu Li was also eating her own skewer.

"Ah-Chi, how long has it been since we've strolled around like this?"

"The last time I went shopping, I think it was the last time?"

Fu Li poked Ah Ji's big belly helplessly and said with a laugh, "You, all you do all day is eat, you don't even want to use your brain."

"But thinking about it, it's been a year since I last went shopping in Mingdu, hasn't it? I went with Tang Yan that time. It's a pity that I really tricked him this time. I'll have to apologize to him properly next time I have the chance."

Thinking of Tang Yan, Fu Li shook her head.

Tang Yan was the one who was tricked into buying him a Soul Guide Train ticket.

His father, Tang Bingyao, is one of the vice-speakers of the Federal Parliament and is a true second-generation elite.

However, one must have the opportunity to return to Mingdu.

Walking down the street, besides the noisy conversations, they could occasionally hear things about evil spirit masters hijacking trains.

Do you know about the big thing that happened yesterday?

"Are you referring to the incident where the evil spirit masters hijacked the soul-guided train?"

"Yeah, I heard it's not far from our Aolai City, that scared me to death."

"Luckily, the East Sea Fleet arrived quickly enough, otherwise..."

"Yes, we should thank them a lot."

Aji tugged at Fu Li's hair: "Fu Li, did you hear that?"

"What did you hear?"

"It happened yesterday, huh? I don't know who spread the rumor, but you were the one who defeated the evil spirit master." Ah Ji gestured wildly, pointing to the name.

"Alright, alright, don't worry about it so much. This news might have been leaked by Uncle. After all, it's astonishing that a nine-year-old could defeat a group of evil spirit masters."

"Okay, but I just feel like someone stole your credit..."

Fu Li chuckled, "Alright, let's talk about where we're going next?"

Ah Ji thought for a moment and suggested, "How about we go to the beach? I've never seen the ocean before."

"You're right, I've never seen it before either. Let's go to the beach then."

Fu Li glanced at the sky. Although it was getting dark, the weather looked good and it shouldn't rain, so she could still go to the beach for a while.

Aolai City isn't very big; it only took one person and one chicken about ten minutes to walk to the seaside.

However, once they arrived at the beach, they were somewhat disappointed after only a few minutes.

The beach here isn't very beautiful; it doesn't have fine sand, but rather pebbles and dead seashells.

It was completely different from what they had seen on Soul Guide TV before.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the starry sky is quite beautiful tonight.

The bright moonlight was as white as snow, and the twinkling stars were like jewels embedded in the sky, vying with the moon for brilliance.

The sea reflects the starlight and moonlight from the sky, its waves surging.

It is indeed a beautiful sight.

"Fu Li, do you see anyone over there?"

"Hmm?" Fu Li looked in the direction Ah Ji was pointing. "It seems there really is someone there."

The people over there were also walking towards them. When they got closer, Fu Li realized that they were also children.

A boy and a girl.

The boy had black hair and black eyes, long eyelashes, and fair skin, whiter than many girls.

The girl was even more stunning, with silver hair and purple eyes, especially her large eyes, which were like amethyst and appeared even more sparkling in the moonlight.

The girl leaned on the boy's shoulder, seemingly lost in thought, as if pondering something.

"Who are you?"

A wary voice came from the little boy, who had also spotted Fu Li. He spread his arms and shouted.

However, in Fu Li's view, this was more like a bluff, using loud talking to embolden himself.

The little girl was also startled out of her reverie by the sound. She shrank behind the boy, looking frightened, with only her eyes showing as she warily stared at Fu Li.

"Fu Li, what should we do? You seem to have scared them."

Fu Li's lips twitched slightly. Can't you just shut up now? You're the one who's scarier, aren't you?

As expected, as Ah Ji spoke without any hesitation, the little boy opposite him became even more wary. He used the moonlight to watch Ah Ji above Fu Li's head with suspicion.

What is that thing? It can actually talk?

"Why……"

Fu Li sighed, rummaged through his storage soul tool for a while, and then took out a soul-guided lamp.

His eyesight is so sharp that he can see the other person even in the dark, thanks to the faint moonlight. But the other person can't see him clearly, so it's better to be direct.

As the soft glow of the CD player dispelled the surrounding darkness, the little boy could see clearly who had come.

A boy who looks about their age, and a big fat chicken?

Was that it that was speaking just now?

Fu Li spoke first: "Sorry, I startled you just now. My name is Fu Li, and the one above my head is my martial spirit, which is called Aji."

The boy lowered his guard a little and tentatively replied, "My name is Tang Wulin, and this is my younger sister, Na'er."

"Tang Wulin, Na'er... Hmm, very nice names. You two little kids, running around at night, aren't you afraid of running into bad people? Where are your parents?"

To everyone's surprise, Tang Wulin retorted, "Don't you look about the same age as us? Aren't you afraid of bad guys?"

"Bad guys?" Ah Ji suddenly said, "Hehe, in this little corner of Aolai City, there's hardly anyone who can hurt me and Fu Li, is there?"

"Alright, Ah Ji, shut up." Fu Li poked Ah Ji, signaling it to be quiet.

Then he looked at Tang Wulin and the other person: "Although my cultivation level is not high, I am still a Soul Master, so I can guarantee my own safety. On the contrary, you two should go back as soon as possible."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Tang Wulin stood on the beach, watching the man and chicken leave, unsure of what to say.

The other person looks about the same age as him, but is he already a Soul Master?

However, he quickly adjusted his mindset. Tomorrow he will go to buy a Soul Spirit. In the future, he will also be a Soul Master, no worse than the other party!

"Na'er, let's go back. Na'er?"

Tang Wulin turned around to call Na'er back, but found her somewhat dazed and unresponsive.

"Na'er, what's wrong?"

Na'er finally came to her senses, her purple eyes shifting away from Fu Li's almost disappearing figure in the distance.

"It's nothing, let's go back, brother, I'm sleepy..."

"Okay, let's go back then."
