Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Heavenly Dao Umbrella, Seven Kills Annihilation

Chapter 139 Xiaoxue, what if I get locked up by the teacher?
"Aqiu!"

Jiang Nian rubbed his nose, glancing at Qian Renxue beside him out of the corner of his eye, wondering if she was scolding him.

He sneezed several times in a row, and it felt like someone was constantly calling his name.

The golden retriever seemed to understand and quickly glared back.

He gave a soft hum and turned his head, his eyes darting around.

"Little Snow."

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

"???"

Qian Renxue blushed, covered her face with her hands, and took a deep breath.

Once she calmed down, she noticed that Jiang Nian's eyes held a strange look, as if he had read her mind.

"Ahem! I confess, I was indeed thinking about some things just now."

Where are we going now?

Jiang Nian didn't pursue the matter further, and picked up the map to see where they were located.

They discovered that if they only walked, it would take another ten days to half a month to reach Tiandou City.

"Go to the Ye family."

Qian Renxue nodded, took Jiang Nian's arm, and swayed it gently.

"Just treat it as a trip, no need to rush."

"You've worked so hard cultivating before, now it's time to take a good rest."

Looking into those sparkling eyes, he felt somewhat helpless.

For the past six months, they've been traveling on and off, and neither of them has cultivated much.

I'm fine with it, after all, my cultivation level increased too quickly between Soul King and Soul Emperor. Taking a break to solidify my foundation is like taking a vacation.

But she can't do that; how can she just focus on having fun?

“I can stop for a bit, but what you said…” Jiang Nian paused, and the little golden retriever immediately looked miserable, pouting and shaking his arm.

"Oh dear! Soul Masters are human too, Xiao Jiang, please spare me."

"If I slack off for another month or two, I promise I'll diligently cultivate!"

Perhaps fearing he wouldn't believe her, she even held up three fingers to swear.

Jiang Nian rubbed his temples, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Alright, two and a half months at most."

"When the time comes, I'll help you hone your sword intent."

The little golden retriever grinned and tiptoed to give him a hard kiss on the cheek.

"You're still the best to me. All Grandpa ever does is make me cultivate; all he ever thinks about is his sword."

Jiang Nian: "..."

I silently felt sorry for Old Deng for a few seconds, but it doesn't matter who takes care of him anyway.

I rubbed her head and suddenly felt like I was raising a daughter.

Sure enough, some people's partners might be their girlfriends or daughters.

For some people, their partner might be their girlfriend or mother.

Of course, there are even more ruthless ones.

Suddenly, a picture of a cute twin-tailed loli popped into Jiang Nian's mind. He quickly shook his head, looked at the silly little golden retriever beside him, and his thoughts became much clearer.

······
After a long and arduous journey, the two stopped to enjoy the world.

He would occasionally write a letter back home, and his feelings for Bibi Dong were somewhat complicated.

What was originally a good relationship between master and disciple has now undergone a subtle change.

Although helping Lu Guo would be very comfortable, he was afraid that if it went on for too long, he would become corrupt.

Even to put it in the worst-case scenario, I might be trapped in a locked room!
Jiang Nian had only had some doubts before, but now there's no need to doubt them at all.

He felt that this day would come sooner or later; it was just a matter of time.

The thought of Bibi Dong undergoing another test by the Rakshasa God would corrupt one's mind and thoughts.

Perhaps they can do even crazier things.

Jiang Nian couldn't help but shiver, and a bead of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Qian Renxue frowned. She sensed that Xiao Jiang had been somewhat restless lately, as if he was afraid of something.

But sometimes he relaxes so much that he doesn't even know what he's thinking.

"Little Snow."

"Huh? Go ahead." Jiang Nian scratched his head, feigning composure as he asked, "If one day you and your teacher completely break off your relationship, and I might be locked up, what would you do?"

Qian Renxue's eyes widened, like a cub protecting its food: "She wouldn't dare! If she really locks you up, I'll get you out!"

"Hmph~ I haven't even started yet..."

"doing what?"

The little golden retriever glanced at him and muttered under his breath, "N-nothing."

Jiang Nian watched her lower her head and fidget with her hands, and silently swallowed.

No, something feels a little off.

You can't possibly raise a boss yourself, can you?
Probably not...

"Xiaoxue, you mustn't learn those bad ideas, you know?" Jiang Nian pressed his hands against her cheeks, his expression unusually serious.

Regardless of whether there are any signs of that, we must thoroughly brainwash them now.

Don't let the daughter manage to avoid her mother's troubles.

Qian Renxue listened to Jiang Nian's earnest teachings in a daze, and suddenly felt like she was about to grow a brain.

If you love him, you should give everything for him.

If you love him, you must respect his thoughts.

If you love him, then...

Several days passed, and Jiang Nian felt that his speech was very effective.

The immature golden retriever puppy has already begun to walk on the right path.

As for Bibi Dong, the only way to change her is through gradual and subtle influence.

Sigh, he's really worried himself sick over this family.

······
Upon arriving in Tiandou City, Jiang Nian brought Qian Renxue to the Ye family mansion.

On a large rock at the entrance of the manor, a woman with braided hair rested her chin on her hands, staring blankly ahead.

After finishing her daily practice, she would sit here in a daze for a while.

I don't know what they're waiting for.

Today, two tall people came into view.

They are a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and they look very well-matched standing together.

The girl, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, exuded youthful energy the moment she stood there.

The boy smiled as he listened to the girl beside him, occasionally offering a response.

A gentle breeze ruffled his medium-length hair; his smile was gentle and warm, while his stern face gave him a cold and handsome air.

In short, it is impeccable from any angle.

Ye Lingling opened her eyes wide, a surge of joy welling up inside her.

He climbed down from the rock and jogged over to Jiang Nian.

“Brother Saint Jiang Nian!”

Without saying a word, the girl went up and gave him a big hug.

The pressure in front of him startled Jiang Nian, but he still instinctively hugged him.

Then, he was glared at again.

"Humph~"

Qian Renxue crossed her arms, puffed out her cheeks, and quietly watched the two of them. In the end, she turned her gaze to Jiang Nian, as if blaming him for provoking that young girl again.

However, Jiang Nian was truly wronged; it seems he hadn't done anything at all from beginning to end.

Ye Lingling knew how to keep her distance and only stayed for a few seconds before parting ways.

"Sister Xiaoxue!"

Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously opened her arms and hugged her.

"Sister Xiaoxue, I miss you so much too."

"Uh... me too."

The little golden retriever rubbed her head, all his previous dissatisfaction vanished, and he smiled with tenderness in his eyes.

As long as she doesn't have any particular feelings for anyone, she's still a very nice older sister.

But if she has inappropriate thoughts about someone, then don't blame her for doing something else!
