Chapter 14

Yang Chunxi's expression remained unchanged, but Xu Taiping's single glance at Rong Taotao made her heart tense up.

At the moment the door closed, Rong Taotao finally couldn't hold back. He stopped eating and asked curiously, "Is that guy a soul beast?"

"Uh-huh." Yang Chunxi's thoughts were a bit disordered, but her face didn't show it. She spoke calmly, "In the Snow Realm, many races have intelligence comparable to humans."

The three young ones looked at Yang Chunxi curiously, listening to her continue her story.

Yang Chunxi: "The Snow Realm vortex has been open for about 60 years. During these 60 years, many soul beasts from the Snow Realm have entered Earth through the vortex. It wasn't until 40 years ago that China, with the strength of the entire nation, gradually established three walls, finally stabilizing the chaotic northern region."

"The Snow Night Battle!" Sun Xingyu suddenly said.

Yang Chunxi nodded: "Yes, it was the Snow Night Battle that decided the fate of that night. The name of the Snow Flame Legion also comes from that night."

That night, over a hundred legions launched a simultaneous assault, and the flames of war almost spread to every corner of northeastern China.

The legions relayed, slaughtered, and drove out the soul beasts from the Snow Realm that were rampaging on this land.

However, this also strained our relationship with the Russian Federation.

Over a hundred legions launched a simultaneous assault!

The northern region was pacified in one night!

Although Yang Chunxi spoke lightly, Rong Taotao's eyes still burned with enthusiasm. In fact, when he learned about it in history class, Rong Taotao had already imagined what kind of brutal battle it must have been.

There was one thing not so good about the history books Rong Taotao studied.

They only told us what we gained, but not what we lost.

It's not hard to imagine that during the 4 hours of his ride, somewhere under the snow, there might be the remains of heroes who died in battle that night.

The casualties that night must have been countless.

Yang Chunxi continued: "Although we have built three high walls, the Snow Realm vortex is different from other vortices. It occasionally blows out massive blizzards, which still bring a large number of soul beasts from the Snow Realm to Earth."

Sometimes, even the high walls cannot stop the blizzards.

In the face of nature, human power is too insignificant.

Yang Chunxi glanced at Rong Taotao, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Xu Taiping is one of the soul beasts that were blown in."

Sun Xingyu: "What kind of soul beast is Xu Taiping? I haven't seen it in books."

Yang Chunxi said, "You weren't a Soul Warrior before, so your focus wasn't on this. When you enter Songjiang Soul Academy, you will learn about it."

"At that time, you should tell your classmates to be restrained and not to look at Xu Taiping with strange eyes."

"After all, he was blown to Earth when he was young and grew up in human society, receiving human education. He is just like us, only his appearance is different."

As she spoke, Yang Chunxi reached out to pat Sun Xingyu's neat short hair: "If you become classmates in the future, remember to protect him. His life will always be in danger, and he will always attract the covetous eyes of others."

Li Ziyi: "Huh?"

Yang Chunxi sighed lightly: "Xu Taiping's soul beast name is 'Ice Soul Guide.'"

"In the Snow Realm, it is a race with a special status."

"The Ice Soul Guide race is highly intelligent and very similar to humans, with an extremely long growth period, unlike other beast-type soul beasts that can reach their physical peak in 2-3 years."

"The Ice Soul Guide race, like us humans, has a long infancy, childhood, and adolescence, making them very vulnerable to early death."

"And the soul bead that Xu Taiping carries is the main reason for his danger."

"Ice Soul Guide..." Rong Taotao muttered the name of the soul beast, thinking it sounded pretty cool.

Yang Chunxi looked at Rong Taotao's forehead and said, "Xu Taiping's soul bead is embedded in the forehead of a Soul Warrior."

Rong Taotao was taken aback and exclaimed, "A mental ability soul bead!?"

Mental ability soul techniques are exclusive to the soul slot on a Soul Warrior's forehead!

Yang Chunxi nodded silently: "Yes, the most precious and rare mental ability soul bead."

Rong Taotao immediately became interested and asked, "What kind of mental ability does he have?"

Sun Xingyu also looked envious!

Telekinesis, mental interference, illusion, mental connection, and thought materialization all fall under the category of mental ability soul techniques.

Unfortunately, Sun Xingyu had not yet opened the soul slot on her forehead, so she could only envy.

However, in the future, Soul Warriors can increase 1-3 soul slots through effort, and where they appear on the body is a matter of luck.

Hearing Rong Taotao's question, Yang Chunxi smiled and teased, "You'll learn when you start school."

Pfft~

Rong Taotao took out his phone and tried to look it up online!

But, well... no signal.

Yang Chunxi looked at Rong Taotao with a smile and sipped her hot tea slowly.

Rong Taotao looked uncomfortable, and he saw Li Ziyi holding Sun Xingyu in his arms. Was this their sweet moment after dinner???

Wow... are you guys messing with my head!?

Darn it!

To be honest, Rong Taotao was a bit envious.

This was the first time he envied this couple. At least they had each other to lean on in tough times.

The environment really can change a person.

In the past three years of his studies, Rong Taotao had seen such scenes many times, but his mindset had never wavered.

But in this snowy northern region...

Rong Taotao had come from the scorching summer into this snowy and icy land. He left his familiar environment, his hometown, and had just been blown by the cold wind for hours, almost freezing to the bone.

All these factors combined made Rong Taotao, who usually didn't care about anyone, want to find someone to be with.

So, where is my other half?

Rong Taotao looked like a young man in love. He leaned forward, resting his elbow on the table and his chin in his hand, his thoughts drifting further and further away.

What will she be like in the future?

Will she be gentle?

Short hair or long hair?

Will she be cheerful and playful, or reserved and shy...

Seeing Rong Taotao's vacant eyes and silence, Yang Chunxi asked with concern, "Taotao, what's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Rong Taotao: "My ideal partner."

Yang Chunxi: ???

Rong Taotao's answer completely exceeded Yang Chunxi's expectations.

Could it be...

The intelligent Yang Chunxi glanced at the other two and realized that her young uncle was likely influenced by the special moment and place.

Yang Chunxi became interested and, at this moment, she was no longer the teacher at Songjiang Soul Academy but Rong Taotao's sister-in-law.

She asked softly, "Is she your classmate?"

Rong Taotao shook his head.

Yang Chunxi: "How did you meet?"

Rong Taotao: "You misunderstood. I haven't met this person yet."

Yang Chunxi was speechless, thinking the child already had someone in mind, but it turned out he was just daydreaming.

Yang Chunxi had a plan and asked, "What kind of girl do you like? There are so many talented students at Songjiang Soul Academy, there must be someone suitable for you."

As for early romance, Yang Chunxi wasn't very concerned. The life of a Soul Warrior is a life of "companionship."

From the moment a Soul Warrior gets their soul beast, this career begins.

If there is a suitable girlfriend to teach Rong Taotao how to manage relationships, it would be a good choice.

Thinking about this, Yang Chunxi smiled and asked, "What kind of person is your ideal partner?"

Hearing this, Rong Taotao's eyes became even brighter, as if he really saw his ideal partner.

"She should... be a female hero, brave and majestic, with a halberd that can pierce through layers of snow..."

"Hehe." Sun Xingyu covered her mouth and laughed, teasing, "It seems you like the halberd more."

Li Ziyi couldn't help but "hmm" in response. Although he was proud, he had to admit that compared to his dedication to the "spear," Rong Taotao was more loyal and dedicated to the halberd.

After all, in the past, Li Ziyi had Sun Xingyu, while Rong Taotao only had the halberd.

Thinking about this, Li Ziyi felt more at ease with Rong Taotao's superior martial skills.

Yang Chunxi was a bit confused. Others usually look for partners based on personality, appearance, and family background, but she had never heard of someone looking for a partner based on a halberd...
