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

Chapter 151 A Year's Wait Leaves a Mark on This Time and Space
Jiang Nian boarded the boat with three little girls beside him. The young boatman rowed the boat and asked him with a smile if he was from the inland.

The familiar scene piqued his interest in engaging in conversation.

However, the boatman didn't tell any more stories about the island, and it's unknown whether he did or not.

Jiang Nian led Qing Yu and the others ashore, tossed down a gold soul coin, and walked off into the distance.

"Strange... what country does this gold come from?"

The boatman scratched his head, put it in his mouth and bit it with his teeth, then put it in his pocket with satisfaction.

Back on the island, Jiang Nian stood on the somewhat bumpy street, gazing into the distance.

The three girls looked at him with a hint of curiosity, but dared not stray too far from him.

Qingyu blinked her emerald green vertical pupils, looked up and asked, "Brother Jiang Nian, have you been here before?"

"Hmm...I guess so."

He patted the little snake girl's head, chuckled, and walked up the mountain.

Qingyu glanced at the man who was several steps ahead of them, wiped the sweat from her forehead, gritted her teeth, and quickly followed.

In fact, the mountain is only about a thousand meters high.

But for ordinary people, it is indeed a bit tiring.

Not to mention the three young girls who had only been eating for a few days.

Jiang Nian suggested taking a break, but they were quite stubborn and said they didn't need to rest.

Left with no other choice, they had to slow down.

When Jiang Nian reached the top of the mountain, he frowned as he looked at the messy summit and decided to tidy it up.

And so, Qingyu and the others sat obediently on a large rock, watching him build.

Hearing the thumping sound, the villagers at the foot of the mountain all looked up at the mountain.

As night fell, Jiang Nian stopped what he was doing, looked at the flattened hilltop, and couldn't help but feel a little satisfied.

Then they started building the house, and Qingyu and the others were quick to help.

At this moment, Jiang Nian couldn't help but marvel at the convenience of the Wood Release: Three Rooms and One Living Room Technique.

However, for someone like me who's good at playing with clay, building a house couldn't be easier.

a few days later.

Looking at the drastically changed mountaintop, Jiang Nian found himself with some free time.

He began studying the notebook, wondering how many more days it would take before he could accidentally enter this space-time and space for what he wanted.

"The six stars of the Southern Dipper aligned?"

Looking up at the stars in the sky, Jiang Nian's lips moved slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief after calculating the approximate time.

Fortunately, he thought he would be staying in this time and space for a long time.

It should take about a year, then I should be able to go back.

Jiang Nian put away his diary and rubbed his head.

After reshaping his Soul Rings, his [Time Stop] and [Rewind] skills received an epic upgrade.

With the power of the Time Dragon King, I also arrived here.

Jiang Nian holds time in awe.

In short, there are too many things inside that I couldn't even imagine.

"Once we get that thing, we can use the full power of [Rewind] and the Soul Bone to go back..."

Even though Jiang Nian followed the instructions in the diary, he still felt a little uneasy.

Looking at the starry sky, he suddenly felt a sense of destiny, as if it had been arranged for him.

Perhaps, my time travel was inevitable.

Stepping onto that island was also destined.

Gradually, Jiang began to space out, his mind going blank.

Behind him, three little girls peeked out from the bushes, looking at each other with a hint of confusion in their eyes.

"Sigh, what do you think Brother Jiang Nian is thinking?"

"Maybe she's homesick..."

"Hmm, I think she might be thinking about her family?"

The three women whispered among themselves, and although they kept their voices very low, they still couldn't hide it from Jiang Nian's ears.

Perhaps he was woken up, he sighed helplessly. "Xiaoqing, take the two of them back to sleep."

"Ah? Okay...okay."

With the chattering sounds around him gone, Jiang Nian could once again space out and ponder some things.

······
Spring passes and autumn comes.

Life gradually calmed down.

The three girls also became familiar with him, and he tried to teach them cultivation.

Unfortunately, apart from Qingyu having a slightly higher talent, Susu and Yingying only had half a level of innate soul power.

The thought of Xiao Qing from the future made him feel somewhat apprehensive, and he suddenly became curious about what she had done in the past 30,000 years.

Jiang Nian became stricter with her cultivation, and she would use spiritual herbs to strengthen her body in her spare time.

Xiaoqing has the blood of both a human and the Green Snake King.

The cultivation methods also rely more on the soul beasts.

In order to leave a clue for his counterpart in this timeline, he decided to raise this little girl.

She took out the remaining pills, one of which could help her improve her bloodline.

After Dugu Yan swallowed it, her martial spirit evolved.

Jiang Nian stood beside her in a daze, and even after Xiao Qing finished absorbing the energy, he still hadn't come to his senses.

"Brother Jiang Nian, what are you doing?" The girl in the white robe had grown into a graceful young woman. She put her hands behind her back, tilted her head, and leaned close to him. Perhaps because the distance was too close, a blush appeared on her pretty face.

"I miss someone."

"Hmm? Male or female?" Qingyu tossed her hair, her delicate face fair and tender, a hint of nervousness flashing in her emerald green vertical pupils, as if she cared a lot about his answer.

Jiang Nian smiled gently without saying anything, got up, patted the little head, gave some instructions, and then left.

Xiaoqing pouted, clearly unhappy, and reluctantly followed his instructions with her hands clasped in her pockets.

In the three months since arriving here, Jiang Nian has cleared out the pirates around the island. Whether they are Soul Saints or Soul Douluos, none of them can escape his slaughter.

In the fifth month, within a radius of three hundred miles centered on the island, ninety percent of those who had fallen had died.

In the seventh month, life became more stable in the cities closer to the island.

In the ninth month, Jiang Nian stopped worrying about other things and began to prepare to find what he wanted.

It's early summer again.

That day, Jiang Nian was fishing in the sea when he had nothing to do.

Xiaoqing stood behind him, not daring to make a sound, afraid that if she didn't catch anything, she would be accused of disturbing the fishing spot.

Well, that's right.

The boy has been in the Air Force for half a month.

His ferocity was palpable; he seemed to want to drain the entire seawater.

But today seems a little different.

Jiang Nian's fishing rod finally moved for the first time ever.

With a gentle flick of the wrist, a beautiful thousand-year-old tuna was caught.

After quickly decomposing his body, he got up and stretched.

"Xiaoqing, isn't my technique pretty good?"

"Mmm! Brother Jiang Nian is really good at fishing!"

Qingyu, against her conscience, offered a compliment, which earned her a gentle caress in return.

"We're having a big meal today."

"Okay!"

Jiang Nian rowed his boat toward the shore.

Before long, the two returned to the mountain.

Diligent Xiaoqing took the ingredients in her hands to prepare a meal, while Jiang Nian returned to his usual spot to look at the stars.

"It's coming tonight..."

Having set a time, Jiang Nian took a deep breath and walked into the kitchen, deciding to show off his culinary skills today.

It can be considered a final supper before parting.
