Douluo: Master Yao Chen

Chapter 5 I, Yao Chen, will take care of you until you are sixteen years old

“This is the best meal I’ve had this year!”

At the dinner table, Tang Yin cheered, burped loudly, and slumped in his chair with his belly bloated, like a well-fed piglet.

In front of him, there was a table full of meat dishes that exuded the tempting aroma of meat. The dishes were even more sumptuous than those during the Chinese New Year.

Old Jack even took out half a bottle of good wine from the bottom of his box, and drank it until his old face flushed slightly, to celebrate Tang Yin's successful awakening of his martial soul, which qualified him to become a soul master.

After eating and drinking, Old Jack cleaned up the dishes and urged Tang Yin to go to bed.

Then he went back to his room alone, lit a candle and began to rummage through his belongings. He wanted to give the part-time student position to Tang Yin, but he was reluctant to give up Tang San.

He planned to risk his old reputation by visiting some neighboring villages, giving out gifts, and seeing if he could get the quota for their villages without awakened spirit masters to be given to Tang San.

After all, he has innate full soul power, so not many people would refuse it.

Old Jack was counting his belongings in the moonlight, calculating in his mind. For a moment he did not notice that Tang Yin's room next door was too quiet.

It was completely different from the past. Occasionally, I could still hear the boy's vague mumbling in his sleep.

In the next room, Tang Yin was looking at the strange scene in front of him with horror on his face.

The moonlight is bright, shining through the window and casting a silver glow on the ground.

And in this silver light, a vague figure is emerging.

The figure had silver hair, and was wearing wide silver sleeves with many delicate patterns on his clothes. He also had a very handsome face. In the moonlight, his temperament was as ethereal as that of an immortal, but it still couldn't conceal the intense impact brought about by his inhuman posture.

Tang Yin opened his mouth to shout "grandpa", but before he could make a sound, the guy who was not sure whether he was a human or a ghost pointed at him casually, and no matter how hard he shouted, no sound came out.

Tang Yin, who noticed this, first covered his throat in disbelief, then looked at the figure in front of him in horror, turned around and crawled into the quilt.

He believed that all the demons and monsters inside the bed had retreated.

Looking at Tang Yin, who was hopeless and trying desperately to get into the quilt like a loach, a crack finally appeared on Yao Chen's handsome face that looked like a banished immortal.

Yao Chen's mind moved, and invisible soul power spread throughout the house. He lifted the quilt, pulled Tang Yin out from inside, and carried him in front of him like a piece of dried bacon hanging on the beam.

He slowly extended a finger in front of Tang Yin's frightened eyes and said, "From now on, don't make a fuss. You don't want anything to happen to the old man next door, do you?!"

"Nod if you agree."

Tang Yin was hanging in the air. When he heard the inhuman creature's words, his big eyes were suddenly filled with a layer of mist and he nodded pitifully.

As Tang Yin nodded, Yao Chen kept his word and put it down, no longer suppressing his voice.

"you"

As soon as his feet touched the ground, Tang Yin spoke tentatively. After making sure that he could speak again, he subconsciously took a few steps back and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

Looking at the little ghost in front of him whose legs were almost shaking like a sieve, Yao Chen also felt playful for a moment and deliberately dragged out his tone, "He was a human before, but now..."

Now it's a ghost?!
Tang Yin silently continued the unfinished words in his heart, and suddenly he felt his heart sank, his eyes became sore, and tears fell down.

He just looked at Yao Chen who was pretending to be serious and laughed in his heart.

Sure enough, it’s quite interesting to raise a child to play with!

Yao Chen had the idea of ​​raising a child a long time ago. When he was still alive, although he had a beauty by his side and close friends traveling with him, he still felt a little regretful deep in his heart. He wanted a disciple who could inherit his mantle and pass on his teachings.

He originally planned to continue traveling around the continent to look for disciples after leaving the remains of his predecessor, but man proposes, God disposes, and he encountered an accident.

His body was completely destroyed, and he didn't know where he ended up in that strange world.

Fortunately, there is still a little kid. Watching him grow up day by day, running and jumping, catching chickens and chasing dogs, running around in the mountains and rivers, is actually a different kind of fun.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore!"

Seeing Tang Yin sobbing silently, tears streaming down her face, unable to control herself, Yao Chen finally put away the evil spirit in his heart, coughed lightly, and began to introduce himself, "I am Yao Chen, an old friend of your mother."

"Woo."

Tang Yin was still immersed in great sorrow and was unaware of it. Now it was Yao Chen's turn to be at a loss. He moved around Tang Yin in a circle and said, "Hey, hey, hey, you're a boy, how can you be so easily frightened!"

"I'm just teasing you. I'm not a ghost!"

The next second, just when Yao Chen was at a loss, Tang Yin, who had just been crying uncontrollably, suddenly kicked up his legs, turned into a small cannonball, and rushed towards the door quickly.

But Tang Yin was fast, and Yao Chen was even faster than him. Before he touched the door, a big hand formed by an invisible force easily lifted him back to his original position and hung him in the air like a piece of bacon.

In the air, Tang Yin struggled hard, trying to wave his short limbs, and his big red eyes stared at the strange man in front of him who was watching the fun with his arms folded across his chest.

"Tsk tsk tsk"

Yao Chen crossed his arms, shook his head and said jokingly, "Little thing, with your few tricks, you really fooled me like a ghost!"

"You want to run, right? Then run!"

In order to prove the truthfulness of his words, Yao Chen put Tang Yin back on the ground again, no longer restraining him, and stretched out a hand towards the door, asking him to leave.

Just as Tang Yin took a step forward, he slowly spoke again, "But before you leave, I want to tell you a secret. When your martial spirit awakens during the day, you actually don't even have a trace of spirit power in your body~"

In an instant, Tang Yin, who had just raised his leg to continue running, was struck by lightning. He slowly lowered the leg he had raised to run, and looked at Yao Chen with vigilance and anxiety, "You, who are you?!"

He knows.

In fact, he had always had an inexplicable feeling that the tiny soul power that finally lit up in the crystal ball, trembling like a candle in the wind, did not belong to him.

He didn't feel at all what Su Yuntao said, the kind of soul power flowing out from deep within his body.

Yao Chen's ethereal face curled up into a smile, "I've already said it just now, this old man, Yao Chen, is an old friend of your mother."

"I once owed her a favor, so I will protect you until you are sixteen years old."

Hearing this, Tang Yin still looked at Yao Chen vigilantly.

There are always some gossipy women in the village, and the naughty children secretly say that he was picked up.

However, he had some expectations for the word "parents", but not much.

So when he heard about this person who knew his life story, he had many questions in his mind, but he finally calmed down and asked, "Then what do you say I should do? I clearly don't have soul power, but you gave me soul power. In a few months, I will go to the Soul Master Academy. Impersonating a soul master is a capital crime."

He is a little smaller, but he is not stupid. The guy in front of him obviously possesses a power that he cannot contend with at all. Every word he says, whether true or false, he has no choice but to believe it.

"piece of cake."

Yao Chen smiled broadly at this life-threatening question. He then tilted his head to look out the window. The smile on his face suddenly faded a little. He turned his head again and said in a didactic tone, "Well, it's late. The kid should go to bed. Otherwise, he won't grow taller."

Tang Yin was obviously very dissatisfied with Yao Chen's changing the subject and not giving a direct answer to her attitude, but due to his unpredictable methods, she dared not say anything. She took off her clothes aggrievedly and lay down on the bed.

Who can sleep with such a freak of a guy in the room?!
Tang Yin cursed in his heart, but as soon as his head touched the pillow, he was overwhelmed by a strong sleepiness and his eyelids became extremely heavy.

Naturally, he did not see the strange man who called himself Yao Chen looking out the window with an indifferent expression.
