Douluo: My wife Liuying makes Ning Rongrong cry

Although it had been quite a while since they last met, Tianlin was still the Tianlin he remembered, always treating Lu Jiang with the same respect.

Lu Jiang quickly raised a hand to Tian Lin to stop him from trying to get close to him.

"Can you please stop being so mushy? We're two grown men, for goodness sake," Lu Jiang said, exasperated.

"Oh dear, I just get excited when I see His Majesty!" Tianlin chuckled twice.

Then, Tianlin noticed Huang Quan standing behind Lu Jiang. He hesitated for a long time, unable to think of a proper way to address him.

"Your Highness?" Tianlin asked tentatively.

“Um… you can call me that too.” Lu Jiang paused for a moment before responding.

To be honest, of all Lu Jiang's women, only Qian Renxue has a formal title.

However, the other girls didn't mind, since Lu Jiang had never wronged them in their daily lives.

"By the way, Your Majesty, why have you come here again out of the blue?"

After Lu Jiang and Huang Quan took their seats, Tian Lin finally spoke and asked.

Tianlin didn't not want Lu Jiang to come, but he suspected that Lu Jiang had ulterior motives.

Could it be that this is specifically to check how well he/she is doing his/her job?

"Don't be nervous, I just took Huang Quan out for a stroll." Lu Jiang noticed the fleeting worry on Tian Lin's face and explained.

Lu Jiang, this hands-off manager, does have some merits besides not doing any real work.

For example, they won't interfere too much with their subordinates, giving them as much freedom as possible to do their own thing.

"Alright, you, as the head of the Star Luo Division, don't need to stay here anymore. Go and do your work." Lu Jiang waved his hand.

Tianlin wisely waved goodbye.

How could such a shrewd old fox not understand the leader's order to leave?
The Xingluo Imperial Palace is grand and magnificent, with a strong Western Region style. Walking through it gives you a refreshing feeling.

Lu Jiang led Huang Quan to a secluded corner.

There is only a simple pavilion, a round stone table, and two stone chairs.

"Huang Quan, can you tell me about your past?" Lu Jiang asked softly.

The purpose of this trip is to resolve Huang Quan's inner conflict.

However, such a seemingly ordinary question seemed to stump Huang Quan.

Huang Quan stumbled and couldn't utter a single complete sentence.

"I don't remember the past..." Huang Quan seemed a little downcast.

With Lu Jiang's encouragement, Huang Quan slowly revealed what he knew.

She bears a curse called "self-destruction," and her past memories are being peeled away piece by piece, becoming blurred and indistinct.

Gradually, Huang Quan forgot where he came from and the meaning of his existence.

As her memories faded, her emotions gradually became indifferent, and her senses were also affected, especially her sense of taste.

Lu Jiang and his group had hosted many banquets and tasted countless delicacies.

Whenever people discuss the taste and texture of food, Huang Quan becomes more taciturn than usual.

"You must have suffered a lot of injustices, right?" Lu Jiang stared intently at Huang Quan, feeling very sorry for him.

Perhaps Lu Jiang is the man Huang Quan can entrust herself to? Hearing Lu Jiang's words, Huang Quan couldn't help but shed tears.

The next second, Huang Quan changed his usual passive attitude and hugged Lu Jiang directly.

"Over the years, I have forgotten many things, but I have never forgotten my own name."

“I also had reliable partners, but they all left me in the end.”

"Lu Jiang, you'll always be with me, right?"

Huang Quan's emotions erupted, and he cried out. Lu Jiang gently stroked the back of Huang Quan's head, which was leaning on his shoulder, and smiled slightly.

He wasn't mocking Huang Quan; rather, he felt a genuine joy.

After so long, Huang Quan finally opened her heart to him.

More than half of noon had passed, and the fiery red sun no longer seemed so scorching.

The sunlight cast very long shadows of Lu Jiang and Huang Quan.

Huang Quan's emotions stabilized.

"Huang Quan, don't worry, I won't abandon you, I swear," Lu Jiang promised.

Having spent so much time together, Huang Quan trusted Lu Jiang's character and knew that he would always keep his promises.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jiang asked Huang Quan what he wanted to do now.

Huang Quan's eyes darted around, and he quickly came up with an idea.

Star Dou Great Forest, the largest gathering place for soul beasts in Douluo Continent.

One by one, ferocious soul beasts gradually approached the two.

Huang Quan and Lu Jiang each held a sharp longsword and charged into the horde of soul beasts without saying a word.

Given their current strength, they could easily kill these low-level soul beasts with a flick of their fingers.

However, in order to increase the difficulty, they did not use any power, but only the most ordinary physical attacks, such as slashing with swords.

Even though they held back, those soul beasts still couldn't withstand a single blow from them.

In the blink of an eye, all these soul beasts became victims of the two men's blades.

Their actions gave off a strong sense of a max-level player angrily refreshing a beginner's village.

Lu Jiang found this kind of battle rather boring. He felt that a battle between evenly matched opponents was much more exciting.

However, Huang Quan appeared unusually excited at this moment.

"Why did you suddenly decide to come and fight soul beasts?" Lu Jiang asked curiously.

"I enjoy the feeling of fighting alongside you," Huang Quan said truthfully.

There's one thing Huang Quan has persisted in until now: searching for the meaning of life.

Since the past is gone, let's seize the future and think about how to live the rest of our lives.

Before being summoned by Lu Jiang, Huang Quan did not have a clear answer to this question.

But after meeting Lu Jiang and following him day after day, the answer that had been elusive became clearer and more concrete.

“Lu Jiang,” Huang Quan suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Lu Jiang turned around, his face full of confusion.

"I...I want to be your sword, your weapon for charging into battle, clearing away all obstacles for you." Huang Quan's gaze was firm.

Lu Jiang was stunned.

After a few seconds of pause, Lu Jiang slowly said, "Huang Quan, you don't need to do this. You have to remember that people live for themselves."

Lu Jiang adopted a very serious expression, which was quite rare for him.

This is Lu Jiang's life motto.

He believes that everyone is first and foremost themselves, and only secondly do they play various roles in other people's lives, such as husband, brother, boss, etc.

Only by doing your best can you consider playing other roles well.

"Lu Jiang, don't try to persuade me. I know the profound principles you're talking about. I've heard those principles countless times before we even met," Huang Quan said calmly.

"But have you ever considered whether those well-known principles are truly suitable for everyone?" Huang Quan posed a probing question. (End of Chapter)
