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

Tang Ziran looked away, then at her son, and suddenly asked, "Linlin, do you know him?"

Tang Wulin nodded subconsciously, but quickly came to his senses and shook his head.

"Linlin, what does it mean when you nod first and then shake your head?"

"Dad, actually it's..."

"Hey! Who dares to covet our sect's secret techniques!"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind them.

Tang Wulin and Tang Ziran were startled, realizing they had been caught peeping. They quickly bowed and said, "Sorry, sorry, we were just passing by, we didn't mean to peek."

"Oh? Boy, you look very familiar to me. Why don't you raise your head quickly?"

Tang Wulin blinked, wondering if they were talking about him.

So she looked up, but upon recognizing the person speaking, she immediately covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, "It's...it's you?"

Ok?

Linlin actually knows the other person?

Tang Ziran straightened up and tugged at her son's sleeve: "I'm sorry, my son didn't mean to offend you, he didn't..."

Ok?

After seeing who was speaking, Tang Ziran was stunned.

Because the one speaking wasn't the boy who had just been practicing his swordplay, but a large, fat chicken standing on the fence.

"Can chickens talk?"

"Aaaah! You wretched human, how dare you offend this immortal again!" Ah Ji flapped its wings, looking at Tang Wulin who was being blocked behind it. "You brat, why don't you explain yourself to your father right now!"

Tang Wulin shrank his neck, then tugged at Tang Ziran's sleeve and whispered, "Dad, this isn't an ordinary chicken. It's called Ah Ji. The person inside who's dancing with a sword is called Fu Li. Ah Ji is his martial soul. Na'er and I met him at the beach last night, but we didn't know he lived nearby."

"Hmph, of course I am not a chicken. Since you are destined to meet me, then you may respectfully call me Immortal Black Kite. I will not hold it against you."

Tang Ziran and Tang Wulin exchanged glances, but remembering that they were the ones who had peeked at each other first, they said, "Greetings, Immortal Black Kite."

Ah Ji's eyes lit up; this was the first time someone had been fooled by it!

So it hopped around a bit more, looked at the two people in front of it, and said, "Hmph, since you call me an immortal, how about offering me two strings of candied hawthorns and I'll grant you a destiny of immortality?"

Tang Wulin blinked. Although he didn't know what an immortal was, let alone what immortal destiny was, it seemed that they were preparing to give him something.

He blinked his big, bright eyes and looked at Ah Ji: "Immortal, are you telling the truth?"

Aji felt a little uncomfortable under Tang Wulin's direct gaze, so he quickly took out his sunglasses from his pocket, put them on, and then stared "directly" at Tang Wulin, patting his chest confidently.

"Of course!"

"Hey, hey, stop pulling! Stop pulling!"

It turned out that while the two people and the chicken were talking, Fu Li had just finished practicing his sword and looked up to see the chicken fooling passersby.

Moreover, the person looked somewhat familiar, and Fu Li glanced at him a few times.

Isn't this the person I met on the beach last night?

Seeing him again during the day, he was certain that the kid was truly "naturally beautiful".

However, he's a bit silly.

Seeing that Tang Wulin was almost completely fooled, Fu Li quickly grabbed the two tufts of feathers on Aji's head and lifted it up.

"Hey Ah Ji, it's not like I'm starving you, why are you trying to fool me?"

While scolding Aji, Fu Li apologized to Tang Ziran and Tang Wulin: "I'm sorry, my martial soul is quite unique and has caused you trouble. You don't need to take what it said to heart."

Seeing how polite the other party was, Tang Ziran waved her hand repeatedly, "It's nothing. Actually, we were the ones who peeked at you practicing your sword first. Sorry."

Fu Li shook her head: "It's alright. I'm practicing my sword in the courtyard, so I'm not afraid of being seen."

Moreover, even if an ordinary person watches it, they can't learn it. Even if they learn some moves, without learning the Taixu Sword Qi, it's just a fancy move.

After tapping Ah Ji and taking out a spirit herb to lure Ah Ji away, Fu Li continued, "I didn't expect we'd meet again so soon."

"What a coincidence!" Tang Wulin nodded in response.

Fu Li glanced at the two's attire, her gaze lingering on Tang Wulin for a few more moments.

"Are you planning to buy soul spirits?"

He could sense the soul power on Tang Wulin's body. Without the guidance of a master, ordinary soul masters would not hide their soul power level.

"Mhm." Tang Wulin nodded repeatedly, becoming excited whenever the topic of soul spirits came up.

"Alright then, I won't chat any longer. Let's get to the Spirit Pagoda as soon as possible to avoid queuing."

Fu Li nodded and decided not to chat any longer, as the worst thing you can do when communicating with someone is to be too intimate with someone you don't know well.

It's not a good idea to ask someone about their martial spirit or other private matters on the first meeting.

"Okay, then I'll be going now."

"Okay, goodbye."

Watching Tang Ziran and Tang Wulin leave, he was about to return to his house when Ah Ji, who was quietly eating snacks, suddenly jumped up: "Hey you, don't forget to give this immortal his offerings!"

"Ah Ji!" Fu Li reacted quickly and immediately covered its mouth.

Only after the two figures had completely disappeared did he let go of their hands: "Ah Ji, you were eating perfectly fine, why are you acting crazy again?"

"Hehe, this immortal feels that he and I are destined to meet."

"Fate? Don't you say that to everyone?" Fu Li sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

Ah Ji stuffed the last bit of the spiritual herb into his mouth and swallowed it whole without chewing: "Hehe, but I always feel like we'll see each other often in the future."

"Are you serious?"

"Of course, according to my fortune-telling methods, although that boy's life is full of hardships, he always manages to turn danger into safety, and he is a person with great fortune. It's just a bit strange, though. I don't see any fortune in his father. That shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, the parents of such a fortunate child should also have blessed appearances. How could he have died young..."

Fu Li's lips twitched.

here we go again……

Ah Ji is great in every way, except for this strange and rambling ability, which he can't seem to shake off. He keeps talking about his fortune-telling methods to everyone he meets.

After hearing it so many times, he stopped believing it. After all, when he believed it before, it never came true.

From what I'm hearing now, it sounds like it's destined to die young...

If I said that in front of other people, I'd probably be stewed by now.

Fu Li tapped Ah Ji, stopping its theological rant: "Let's go, stop nagging, it's time to go back and have breakfast. I'm hungry even if you're not."

"Hey, wait for me! I want to eat too! You can't eat alone!"

Upon hearing that there was food, Ah Ji stopped bothering with his fortune-telling methods and immediately followed Fu Li into the house.
