Chapter 21 Belongs Only to Me
On a sunny Sunday morning, Tang Ya was strolling around with Xiao Xiao and Huo Yutong, each holding one of her hands.
"Yutong, Xiaoxiao, I heard you also chose to study the Soul Guidance Department?" Tang Ya asked.
"Yes, Xiao Xiao and I are both studying under Teacher Fan Yu," Huo Yutong replied.
"Teacher Fanyu! He's the chief instructor of the Soul Guidance Department, and Vice Dean Qian's successor," Tang Ya exclaimed in surprise.
"When Yu Tong and I first went to the Soul Guidance Department, Vice Dean Qian personally escorted us. I really benefited from Yu Tong's help," Xiao Xiao said.
"No, actually it's because of my sisters. Vice Dean Qian wanted my sisters to join the Soul Guidance Department," Huo Yutong hurriedly said.
Huo Yutong then recounted her experience of meeting Vice Dean Qian, who invited her two older sisters to join the Soul Guidance Department, after she had finished the entrance exam.
"Wow, that's amazing! Those are Dean Yan and Vice Dean Qian," Xiao Xiao exclaimed.
"With the talent of both teachers, they will surely become Title Douluo in the future. No wonder the academy attaches so much importance to them," Tang Ya said.
"Beibei and I also chose to study the Soul Guidance Department, but we don't have much talent for it. Beibei is only a Level 1 Soul Guidance Master, and I'm only a Level 2 Soul Guidance Master. We both plan to stop studying it and focus on cultivation from now on," Tang Ya said.
"When I become a powerful Soul Master, I will help Sister Xiaoya and Brother Beibei forge powerful Soul Tools," Xiao Xiao said.
"I can do that too," Huo Yutong replied.
"Thank you so much, Yutong and Xiaoxiao!" Tang Ya happily ruffled their hair.
They walked up to a toy store, where various adorable plush toys of all sizes were displayed on the glass shelf, instantly capturing the hearts of the three girls.
Three girls entered the toy store and picked out their favorite dolls.
"Yutong, buy me a silkworm doll and an ice-green scorpion doll," Tianmeng said coquettishly.
"You can't even touch it," Hyotei retorted.
"Raindrop, you can buy whatever you like. Jade and Purple Fairy gave you Soul Coins hoping you'd be able to buy things. Besides, they also want you to have a happy school life," Electrolux said kindly.
"That's right, that's right, you've grown taller recently, and the clothes Brigitte bought for you are all too short. Don't be stingy with your purchases, they're not short of money, just spend what they give you, eat whatever you want! Buy whatever you want!" Tianmeng said with boundless generosity.
Huo Yutong was deeply moved. Upon hearing this, she searched online and found that the dolls in the toy store were designed based on various soul beasts and martial souls. Of course, in order to attract customers, they were all made to look cute.
Huo Yutong grabbed a shopping cart and put the silkworm doll and the ice jade scorpion doll into the cart. After hesitating for a while, she then took the jade swan doll.
She continued pushing her cart to the dragon-shaped plush toy section, picking up a purple one and a black one. Unfortunately, there were no plush toys shaped like Qiu'er. She saw a golden cat plush toy, thought for a moment, and then picked one up anyway.
As for Old Man Yi, he's a person. Oh, never mind. She saw the gray ghost-shaped doll and took another one.
Xiao Xiao took a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear plushie and an Emerald Swan plushie, while Tang Ya took a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus plushie, two Blue Silver Grass plushies, and two Soft Bone Rabbit plushies. She naturally gave one of the Soft Bone Rabbit plushies to her roommate and best friend, Jiang Nannan.
After paying the bill, the three women strolled around for a while longer, then found a beverage shop, each ordered a drink, and sat down for a short rest at a small round table with a parasol.
"Sister Xiaoya, how did you and Brother Beibei meet?" Xiao Xiao asked curiously.
Huo Yutong also showed a curious expression, and Tianmeng in the sea of consciousness was also ready to listen to the romantic love story of the young man and woman. She even used her mental power to weave a comfortable sofa for herself, and Ge You lay on it.
"It's a long story. As you all know, the Tang Clan was founded ten thousand years ago and was once the number one sect on the continent. Under the wise leadership of our ancestor Tang San, it was incredibly glorious."
The turning point began six thousand years ago when the Sun Moon Continent floated to the Douluo Continent, and an earth-shattering war broke out between the two continents. More than sixty titled Douluo participated in that war... The Tang Sect naturally participated as well, but the result was that the Tang Sect's hidden weapons lost to the soul tools... and the Tang Sect gradually declined.
"In my generation, only Beibei and I are left. The Tang Sect was originally in Tiandou City. My father was the previous sect leader. When I was a child, he and my mother both died in a soul-hunting operation..." Tang Ya's voice gradually lowered.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yutong and Xiao Xiao both showed sorrowful expressions. They never expected that their usually quirky and clever Xiao Ya would have such an experience...
"Because of the relationship between Tang San's ancestor and Shrek Academy, there is naturally a Tang Sect branch in Shrek City. Moreover, the academy gives the Tang Sect a free enrollment spot every year. Later, I entered Shrek Academy and met Bei Bei." Tang Ya changed the subject.
She began to recount the details of her encounter with Beibei.
"My story is over. Now it's your turn. Do you have someone you like? Or your type?" Tang Ya said after taking a big gulp of her drink.
"I like Wang Dong. He's our classmate, but I don't know him very well. The reason is that he's exceptionally good-looking. He's the most handsome boy I've ever seen. Of course, my type is a handsome prince charming," Xiao Xiao said.
"I don't have anyone I like. My ideal type is someone mature who can give me a sense of security." Huo Yutong's hand unconsciously gripped the Reverse Scale pendant on her chest.
"Yutong, this pendant must have been given to you by someone very important to you. I can tell you cherish it very much," Xiao Xiao said.
"Yes, it is... a one-of-a-kind gift from my uncle," Huo Yutong said.
Aside from my mother, this is the first time someone... has given me a gift.
Huo Yutong would gently rub every line of the Reverse Scale pendant with her own hands, and reflect every inch of it with her spiritual eyes... She saw the characters engraved on the inside in a script she did not recognize.
Out of curiosity, she asked her two older sisters about it when she went to their dormitory.
At that moment, Huo Yutong took off the jet-black Reverse Scale pendant from her neck.
She handed the pendant to Zi Ji and asked, "Sister Zi Yan, I... I've always wanted to ask, what's engraved on the inside of this reverse scale that Senior Di Tian gave me?"
Murasaki took the Reverse Scale, ran her fingertips over its smooth surface, then turned it over to look at the inside.
She presented her rebellious edge to Huo Yutong and told her:
"The characters on the inside of this reverse scale are unique to my dragon race. They are not inscribed with any spell, but with your name, Huo Yutong."
She added, word by word, "This Achilles' heel belongs only to you."
After saying that, Zi Ji personally put the pendant back on Huo Yutong's head.
The thought, "It belongs only to me..." echoed in her mind.
Huo Yutong could clearly hear her heart pounding wildly in her chest, so fast that it made her feel dizzy.
A gift that is one of a kind in the world... belonging only to her Achilles' heel.
Huo Yutong recalled that moment, and a blush unconsciously rose on her face.
