Without a doubt, they would perish at the hands of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North or some hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast. In the end, these things naturally fell into Shen Yumo's hands...
I feel like I've snagged a huge bargain, made a fortune...
Thinking this way made me feel much better instantly, and I put the unlucky things about the old man out of my mind.
Due to its geographical location, this town is covered in ice and snow all year round, and you can still see many soldiers patrolling the streets.
Greasy, burly men squatted on the street, shouting...
"Hunting for spirit rings! We're still missing a support-type spirit master, preferably with two or more rings. The reward is ten gold spirit coins! Come and take a look..."
"We're collecting skins from the Heavenly Silkworm Ice Serpent! One gold soul coin per skin. Don't miss out!"
"We are recruiting offensive Soul Masters with Soul Rings of 3rd Ring or higher. Strong players, come forth!"
……
Without exception, all businesses on this street are related to Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, and the starting price for anything even remotely related to Soul Masters is Gold Soul Coins!
You should know that three to five gold soul coins are enough for a family to live on for a year, but here, gold soul coins are only used for simple transactions between soul masters.
On this continent, Soul Masters hold an extremely high status. In Tang San's era, it was already remarkable for a village to produce even one Soul Master.
Shen Yumo walked straight through the street toward a less crowded area. He wasn't interested in these things right now, but he was interested in these people!
Ahem, don't get the wrong idea. Actually, there are still good people in life, and not 99% of them are bad. In my nine years of lonely life, apart from my two older sisters, I have never seen any other living people, except for the two big sand demons I encountered as soon as I left the far north.
That doesn't count.
Now that we've finally arrived in a densely populated area, shouldn't we take the time to experience the atmosphere of human society?
I closed my sky-blue eyes, surrounded by a cacophony of sounds. I took a deep breath and realized that humans are indeed social animals; living alone always brings feelings of loneliness, emptiness, and coldness.
Just like this world, so bustling and noisy, with countless filth, yet many people still find joy in it or become deeply entangled in it. There's no way around it; it's as if people are born to be puppets who endure and experience human suffering.
……
"Little brother, how old are you? Isn't it a bit inappropriate for someone so young to come to this place?"
Just as Shen Yumo was standing by the roadside with her eyes closed, carefully sensing the vibrant human presence, a seductive voice of an adult woman rang out.
?
woman?
Shen Yumo opened her eyes in slight surprise, looking behind her with a touch of excitement. There was no other reason; she simply felt that women in anime were all exceptionally beautiful, and that was the truth…

Chapter 23 The Beautiful City Lord of the Border Region
?
woman?
Shen Yumo opened her eyes in slight surprise, looking behind her with a touch of excitement. There was no other reason; she simply felt that women in anime were all exceptionally beautiful, and that was the truth…
When the young man turned around, he found a tall, mature woman and a girl standing behind him.
A mature woman with an oval face and alluring eyes appeared before them. She wore a loose white fur robe, and her smiling face was filled with a charming and beautiful smile. Her large pink eyes were unpredictable and mysterious. She was definitely a stunning beauty!
Shen Yumo's heart skipped a beat, her head buzzed for a moment, and then her mind cleared.
Something is wrong!
This woman must possess enchanting soul skills and martial souls!
"Who are you? What do you want?" Shen Yumo gradually took two steps back, her defensiveness evident in her steps.
Poor Shen Yumo has just survived one ordeal, is she about to fall into the clutches of the White Bone Demon again?
And so, this scene unfolded on the street: a short boy who looked only eleven or twelve years old was backing away from a mature, tall, beautiful, and charming woman.
The girl next to the woman watched the retreating boy with her beautiful, light blue eyes full of curiosity.
Such a scene on the street should have attracted attention, but in reality, the people around them seemed not to see them at all, and there was no one within a few meters of them.
The boy, dressed in a blue brocade robe, with a neat hat, bright eyes, and a heroic air about him, was now retreating in a somewhat disheveled manner.
What's most striking are the boy's sky-blue eyes, which are quite beautiful. His long, neatly tied blue hair reaches his waist.
As for why Shen Yumo retreated in such a sorry state... was it because of the beautiful snake?
Cough cough, what if the other party has any improper thoughts about me? What can a boy as young as me do? Besides, I've only recovered less than two-thirds of my soul power since entering this city. If a fight really breaks out, that little soul power won't be enough...
Therefore, he took cautious steps backward, ready to turn and run away at the slightest sign of trouble from the other party.
Let's call that beautiful woman a mature woman for now.
Seeing the young man retreat like a frightened bird, the mature woman couldn't hide her surprise in her pink eyes, and she even blinked her big eyes innocently.
"Little brother, you really are extraordinary..." She was genuinely surprised when she said this, because she had just used half the power of her second soul skill, Charm!
How powerful is the charm skill activated by a Soul Saint? Even with the damage reduced in advance, its power is still not to be underestimated. For a three-ring Soul Master like Shen Yumo, it is enough to confuse her for several minutes!
Several minutes! In a fight between two sides, life and death are often decided in a second... You can imagine how intense it was.
Despite such an unsolvable mental attack, the handsome and refined boy only dazed for two seconds before waking up. Now, no one would believe that the boy didn't possess a special martial spirit.
"Little brother, don't be afraid! I mean no harm. I'm just curious about this cute little brother. This isn't a place for children. Besides, I have no ill intentions towards you." The mature woman covered her mouth with her slender fingers, giggling continuously.
Cough cough, in a border region like the far north, who would dare to come without a martial spirit?
Cough cough, Shen Yumo still felt dizzy. This wicked woman, she just launched a mental attack on her and now she says she meant her no harm...
"You...you stay away! Let me tell you, I'm very powerful! Otherwise, I wouldn't dare come here so easily. You'd better behave yourself." The young man frowned, angrily stopping the mature woman from advancing. The depleted soul power within his body gradually recovered.
"Oh?" The mature woman actually stopped in her tracks, her gentle gaze trying to ease the boy's wariness. "You're quite capable! You're right, you wouldn't dare come here without some skill."
"Whether I get here or not is none of your business. Don't try to give me a tongue twister," the boy said in a deep, pleasant voice.
At this moment, a patrol of soldiers noticed the unusual situation. They walked up to the mature woman, and the squad leader, with a slightly respectful tone, said, "Lord, this..." As he spoke, his cold eyes, hidden beneath his armor, swept over the young man.
City Lord?
The soldier was actually calling her "Witch City Lord"? Good heavens, the woman who harbors ill intentions towards him is the city lord?
Shen Yumo froze on the spot for a moment.
The mature woman seemed to transform upon the soldier's arrival; her demeanor instantly became elegant and noble, the smile on her lips vanished, and an invisible pressure spread throughout the area.
"It's alright, go on patrol."
"Yes, sir." The soldier saluted and led a line of soldiers away.
If the city lord were to utter a single word, they would seize the boy without hesitation and await his fate.
"It seems he really is the city lord..." Shen Yumo scratched his head. Since he was an official, there was nothing to be afraid of. Why would he harm him for no reason, especially since he was a city lord?
The thought of not knowing where to find a hotel to stay and rest, being in an unfamiliar place, was suddenly brought along by someone... no, someone to ask for directions...
"Yes, little brother." The mature woman's face lit up with a smile, and she took long strides toward Shen Yumo.
*Gulp...* Shen Yumo stared at those delicate, fair legs, her throat bobbing involuntarily. Good heavens, those legs are amazing!
While he was in a daze, the mature woman seized the opportunity and appeared in front of Shen Yumo in a daze. Her slender and beautiful fingers touched the boy's sky-blue hair.
Without giving anyone a chance to react, Shen Yumo was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the slender jade arm in a daze. Even the Soul Emperor's full-force attack in his rage was dodged by me, but this hand was even faster!
Damn it!
Am I, Shen Yumo, defeated by this hand?
And hey, are we even acquainted? Even if you're the city lord, we're not that close, so why are you acting like this?
But her beautiful eyes narrowed in enjoyment. She just wanted to touch this very special boy. His fluffy blue hair made her heart melt!
Comfortable……
The boy, however, gave up resisting under that palm of boundless magic. Standing before him was a mature and elegant woman, and with a gentle head pat, he really... really enjoyed it...
Well then, this genius will let you, a sensible woman, lead the way.
Yes, that's what Shen Yumo thought anyway, and her guard gradually disappeared under that gentle, bony palm.
I remember... my sister used to stroke my hair like this too, her delicate hands as gentle as cotton. Touching her, I would slowly fall asleep, smelling her familiar and pleasant scent. Everything would calm down, and I would look forward to tomorrow.
These hands really look like Sister Snow and Sister Ice...warm and comforting...

Chapter 24 First Encounter with Meng Hongchen
I remember... my sister used to stroke my hair like this too, her delicate hands as gentle as cotton. Touching her, I would slowly fall asleep, smelling her familiar and pleasant scent. Everything would calm down, and I would look forward to tomorrow.
These hands really look like Sister Snow and Sister Ice...warm and comforting...
The girl next to the mature woman, however, kept staring at the boy.
Shen Yumo also caught a glimpse of the girl traveling with the city lord out of the corner of her eye.
He felt a sense of familiarity, yet also strangeness; it was as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place it.
Her long, straight silver hair was all gathered on the right side and styled into a ponytail, with a small, cute blue bow tied to the side. A pair of large, light blue eyes stared intently at the boy. She had delicate features and an inexplicable aura about her.
She looked to be about the same age as Shen Yumo, and her height was also similar.
Dressed in a silver-white outfit, with a pair of long, beautiful legs beneath the pleated skirt, she's the quintessential cute and charming girl next door...
Ah, don't overthink it. It's not that Shen Yumo likes every girl he meets; he's not that promiscuous. It's just that he feels this girl is special and also familiar...
……
"Little one, now you know I'm not a bad person, hehe." Biyue reluctantly withdrew her hand.
A pair of pink eyes stared directly into the boy's sky-blue eyes, not in a normal way, but with pity, as if she had been looking at him for a long time.
Shen Yumo was taken aback by the sudden warmth, and two blushes quietly rose on her cheeks, as if she felt that this woman had fallen in love with her.
Hey, I'm still a child. Can't you like me when I grow up?
Seriously, it's not that Shen Yumo is being presumptuous; that kind of gaze really makes you feel uncomfortable all over. That aggressive look seems to scan your body inch by inch...
