After finishing his cultivation, Yu Yan picked up a pillow from the bed and made a makeshift bed on the floor.
Xiao Wu will sleep on the bed, and he will sleep on the floor. This was the result of their discussion that afternoon.
Actually, Xiao Wu mentioned sleeping in the bed together. Since everyone is young, Yu Yan doesn't need to sleep on the hard floor. Just put a pillow in the middle as a dividing line, and no one will cross it.
The suggestion was immediately rejected by Yu Yan on the grounds of gender differences.
Now, Xiao Wu and he are indeed six years old, but Yu Yan cannot consider himself six years old. His soul is that of an adult. Even if keeping Xiao Wu by his side is an attempt to harm her, his intention is to develop feelings for her over time.
Yu Yan still possesses basic morality, even after nine years of compulsory education.
"Yu Yan, the room is so hot! Could you release the ice fish to release some of the cool air and make it cooler?"
It was early summer, and Xiao Wu, who was lying in bed feeling too hot to sleep, asked Yu Yan for help.
Summer nights are not cool; the sweltering heat in Barak is even more intense than in the fishing village, as if the heat of summer has already arrived.
Yu Yan remembered that this should be the urban heat island phenomenon that was taught in geography class.
"Um."
Feeling somewhat hot as well, Yu Yan got up and closed the window, summoning the Ice and Fire Pisces. While suppressing the Fire Pisces, he activated the cold energy emanating from the Ice Pisces.
Before long, cool air filled the small room.
"This cool feeling... Yu Yan, your martial soul is truly perfect."
Feeling the coolness around her, Xiao Wu crawled directly under the covers, leaving her head sticking out.
In the sweltering summer, turning on the air conditioner and covering yourself with a blanket is a comfort that only those who have experienced it can truly understand.
"Don't cover yourself up too tightly. I can't keep this cold air around forever. Don't blame me if you wake up from the heat at night when the cold air dissipates."
As Xiao Wu crawled into bed, Yu Yan kindly reminded her that being woken up by the heat in the middle of summer was not a pleasant experience.
"Could you freeze something in this room? That way I won't wake up from the heat."
Faced with this situation, Xiao Wu used her clever mind and quickly came up with a very good solution.
"That's a good idea. Go and fetch two buckets of water. I'll freeze the water in the buckets. If it's frozen solid, it should be enough to get us through the night."
After being reminded by Xiao Wu, Yu Yan understood what to do and immediately instructed Xiao Wu to fetch two buckets of water.
"Ah~~, Yu Yan, can you go?"
Lying in bed, not wanting to move, Xiao Wu shamelessly begged Yu Yan to go by himself.
Yu Yan ignored Xiao Wu's coquettish pleading: "No, it's reasonable for me to make ice and you to fetch water. With you scheming against me here, you would have fetched the water long ago."
Xiao Wu snorted coldly, quickly got up and went out, bringing in two buckets of water.
Yu Yan infused his soul power into the ice fish, controlling the energy-form ice fish to enter the bucket.
The water in the bucket, under the influence of the ice fish's cold air, condensed into ice at a visible speed, and gradually transformed into solid ice that would not easily melt.
The chill emanating from the solid ice brought them a cool night.
Waking up the next morning, feeling the lingering chill in the room, Xiao Wu once again marveled at the practicality of the Fish Flame Martial Soul.
Back in the fishing village, Xiao Wu had seen Yu Yan use firefish to start a fire for cooking, and now she witnessed how icefish could bring coolness in the summer.
For a moment, Xiao Wu considered switching her martial soul with Fish Flame so that Fish Flame could fetch water.
After spending a day in Barak, the caravan finished processing its goods, purchased a batch of goods, and then set off for Soto.
...
Two days later, Yu Yan and Xiao Wu returned to Fish Village safely.
At the entrance of Fish Village, Yu Yan saw Old Man Yu, who had been waiting there for a long time.
After learning from Yu Yan that Xiao Wu also possessed level seven and a half of soul power, and seeing Xiao Wu's martial soul awakening certificate, Old Man Yu laughed so hard he almost couldn't catch his breath before passing away.
"Grandpa Fish, can't you calm down? If we send you away directly, Xiao Wu and I will feel guilty for the rest of our lives."
Patting Old Man Yu on the back, Yu Yan deliberately said some inappropriate things, hoping that Old Man Yu would get a little angry and stop laughing.
The scene of Old Man Yu laughing so hard he almost choked was still vivid in his mind, and he was genuinely a little scared.
"I'm so happy that our village can produce two Soul Masters at once. From now on, our village will have three Soul Masters. This is a great thing that will bring honor to our ancestors."
At this point, the old man seemed to have thought of something:
"Xiao Yan, Xiao Wu, I heard that there is a village in the Fasno Province that was renamed Holy Soul Village because a Soul Saint came from there. You two must cultivate hard. I also want to change the name of my village to something like Holy Soul Village."
For an ordinary village to produce a Soul Saint-level expert is an honor.
To be able to rename a village under the witness of a local sage, and to have that sage leave their handprint on the stone tablet at the village entrance, is an even greater honor.
After hearing this story, Old Man Yu desperately hoped that such a person could appear in his fishing village.
"Grandpa Yu, don't worry. After I become a Title Douluo, you can rename the village Title Douluo Village. Doesn't that sound more prestigious than Holy Soul Village?"
Xiao Wu, who is confident in cultivating to the level of a Title Douluo and has developed a certain sense of belonging to Fish Village, said that Holy Soul Village doesn't sound impressive at all.
"Hahaha, if I can see that day, I can die in peace."
Old Man Yu was successfully amused by Xiao Wu's words and burst into laughter.
"Grandpa Fish, please stop laughing. I'm really afraid you'll laugh yourself silly like you did just now."
Seeing that Old Man Yu was laughing louder and louder, Yu Yan patted Old Man Yu's back and continued to say inappropriate things.
"Go away, go away, can't you just wish me well? I won't die until the fishing village is renamed. This is my only wish in this life."
Old Man Yu waved his hand dismissively, his smile undiminished.
Once Xiao Yan and Xiao Wu, both Soul Saint level experts, are reached, I will change Fish Village to Twin Saint Village and have them leave their handprints and signatures on the stone tablet at the village entrance.
Shuangsheng Village, hahaha, that's a really good name.
Thinking of the wonderful future, Old Man Yu laughed heartily again.
Seeing that Old Man Yu's laughter was getting louder and louder, Yu Yan decided to discuss some serious matters with him to distract him.
"By the way, Grandpa Fish, I've already used up all the work-study spots in our Fish Village. Xiao Wu needs to go to school to become a Soul Master. I'd like to ask which village near Fish Village has any work-study spots that haven't been used up yet, so I can borrow them for Xiao Wu."
"I am quite familiar with the village chiefs of the surrounding villages. You all stay home and cultivate yourselves. Leave these small matters to me."
Old Man Yu waved his hand and took the blame for the matter.
Old Man Yu took on this matter for two reasons: first, to prevent other villages from snatching people away, and second, to show off to other villages.
Returning home in wealth and honor is like wearing fine clothes at night.
