(Doulou Two) Zhongli Journey in Unrivaled Tang Sect

"Paimon~ is a martial spirit?"

There were a total of five "people" present, but Paimon was the most confused.

She didn't know anything about martial arts, let alone what Summoning type martial souls were.

Could it be the nickname of God's Mouth?

At this moment, Paimon and Zhongli's relationship seemed more like a one-sided attachment, with Paimon being the one attached to Zhongli.

In the terms of the Douluo Continent, Paimon could be considered Zhongli's acquired martial spirit, similar to the relationship between the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion and Huo Yuhao.

Zhongli touched his chin, deep in thought.

He had traveled to the present, pondering a question.

"Why did I transmigrate to the Douluo Continent...What happened during the transmigration?"

Zhongli was very familiar with that person's voice.

Even if it was just a glimpse, he remembered it clearly.

It definitely wasn't an auditory hallucination!

At his level, the probability of auditory hallucinations was extremely low, not to mention... Paimon, this little one...

"Was it that person who established the connection between me and Paimon?"

"What is her purpose in doing this?"

"Or perhaps Paimon is her..."

The more he thought about it, the more questions arose in his mind, but on the surface, he remained calm and composed.

"Huh~ Paimon, don't you know you're a martial spirit?"

Tang Ya asked curiously. She had a very good impression of Paimon, finding the little one quite adorable.

"Does Paimon need to know that she's a martial spirit?"

Paimon retorted, hands on her hips and an angry expression on her face.

After saying this, she seemed to recall something and added, "Paimon is Paimon, not a martial spirit!"

"Xiaoya, mind your words!"

Bei Bei chided Tang Ya, his expression serious.

"Brother Zhongli likely treats Paimon as a friend or even a daughter. How can Paimon be defined as an ordinary martial spirit?"

As if struck by a thought, Bei Bei glanced at Paimon and continued, "Ten thousand years ago, Master Yu Xiaogang's martial soul was also a Summoning type martial soul. He treated Luo Sanpao like his own son, which eventually led to Luo Sanpao evolving into a golden holy dragon..."

As for what happened 10,000 years ago, even the descendants of Yu Xiaogang weren't entirely clear.

They only knew that Yu Xiaogang's martial soul had successfully evolved with Tang San's help and his own efforts.

The details, however, were not documented.

Bei Bei had spent only a short time with Paimon, but he had already noticed that Paimon possessed "advanced intelligence" and the ability to think independently.

As for her strength and role, those would need to be determined through experiments and actual combat.

Even if Paimon turned out to be of no practical use, she was a miracle in herself!

That alone made her worth taking seriously.

Hearing this, Tang Ya's face turned red with embarrassment.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She placed her hands on her hips and said to Bei Bei, "Bei Bei, what do you call me?"

"Uh..."

Bei Bei was slightly taken aback, his eyelids twitching as he replied, "Teacher Xiaoya."

"That's right!"

Tang Ya tilted her head, casting an apologetic glance at Paimon.

"Paimon, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you and Brother Zhongli had such a relationship."

Zhongli appeared more "mature," so Tang Ya and Bei Bei instinctively addressed him as "eldest brother" out of politeness.

Paimon: "..."

What on earth were these people talking about?

She's Zhongli's friend?

Well, if she thought about it, she and Zhongli were indeed friends!

Now that they had ended up in an unknown place together, the only person she could rely on was Zhongli, that freeloader who always ate without paying.

As for the latter part of their conversation, utterly ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous!

She, Paimon, was Zhongli's daughter???

"Ahh!"

Paimon stomped her feet in midair, fuming.

Tang Ya's apology was completely ignored by her.

Without a good meal, she would never forgive these two!

Two people, huh? Well, two delicious meals!

Paimon flew to Zhongli's side and turned her head away from Tang Ya and Bei Bei, clearly sulking.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao and Zhongli snapped out of their thoughts.

The two exchanged a glance, both at a loss for words.

"By the way, little brother Yuhao, are you here to hunt for a soul ring?"

Bei Bei asked, pointing to the wind baboon on the ground.

A ten-year wind baboon could be deadly for an average soul warrior.

Of course, civilians didn't have much of a choice.

They couldn't defeat more powerful soul beasts to absorb a hundred-year soul ring.

For most civilians, having a ten-year soul ring as their first was the norm.

Judging by the stable soul power fluctuations emanating from Huo Yuhao's body, he hadn't absorbed the soul ring yet.

That meant the wind baboon's soul ring was still up for grabs.

"Brother Bei Bei, I am here to hunt for a soul ring, but... I... I'm too weak..."

At this, Huo Yuhao lowered his head and clenched his fists.

He had even considered absorbing the wind baboon's soul ring earlier, even though it wasn't a good match for his Spirit Eye Martial Soul.

But did he really have a choice?

A ten-year wind baboon had nearly killed him, let alone a hundred-year soul beast.

As for the ice silkworm, Huo Yuhao didn't dwell on it much. It was probably just a dream.

Since when could ice silkworms talk?

"Can you tell me what your martial soul is?"

After asking this, Bei Bei glanced at Tang Ya and added, "We're also here to hunt for soul rings. If we come across a soul beast that suits you, we wouldn't mind helping you out."

"Yeah, yeah, little brother Huo!"

Tang Ya chimed in, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.

Helping Huo Yuhao hunt for a soul ring and then recruiting him as a chef... Heh, heh, what a clever plan!

"This..."

Huo Yuhao hesitated. He knew Tang Ya and Bei Bei had good intentions, but how could there be a free lunch in the world?

When it came time to enjoy the meal, the price would already have been paid.

Just as Huo Yuhao was hesitating, a reassuring hand rested on his shoulder.

"If you don't want to accept the kindness of these two young friends, you can also consider learning a bit of martial arts. I can lend a hand for you."

In the end, even if he were to take Huo Yuhao's opportunity, it wouldn't hurt to assist him once.

But to the three listeners, these words carried a completely different meaning.

Only Paimon was left utterly stunned!

Morax himself offering to help?

Hiss~

Terrifying!

The prejudices in people's hearts are like insurmountable mountains. No matter how hard others try, it's difficult to shift them.

Paimon only had one soul ring, which meant Zhongli was merely a "soul master." In the eyes of the three, Zhongli had no real strength.

Helping Huo Yuhao obtain a ten-year soul ring seemed to be Zhongli's limit.

"Uh... No need to trouble Brother Zhongli."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand dismissively.

Paimon was so cute, what kind of combat power could she possibly have?

If they encountered a hundred-year soul beast, it might spell disaster for the entire group.

Having never seen a soul beast before, Huo Yuhao didn't fully grasp their ferocity.

He had ventured into the Star Dou Great Forest alone, driven by youthful naivety.

As the saying goes: "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!"

After the wind baboon incident, Huo Yuhao had come to a sobering realization of his own limitations.

Little did he know, he had just missed out on a monumental opportunity...

"My martial soul is the Spirit Eye, it's my eyes. Brother Bei Bei, Sister Xiaoya, are you really willing to help me hunt for my first soul ring?"
