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

Chapter 153 Return! What happened to my dear wife?!

"Whoo~"

"They're really hard to kill."

Jiang Nian wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked around. The seawater within a radius of several kilometers was frozen into solid, thick ice, so there shouldn't be any soul beasts coming.

Without further ado, let's absorb this spirit ring quickly.

He sat cross-legged, used his soul power to guide the 100,000-year soul ring, closed his eyes to enhance his concentration, and began to slowly absorb it.

The wind and snow whipped Jiang Nian's hair, and his hair, which had turned white, gradually returned to its original black.

With his current physical body, he's almost ready to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring, given all the opportunities he's had to strengthen it.

soon.

Jiang Nian opened his eyes, and his aura surged rapidly, reaching level seventy-three before stopping.

The Time Dragon King's soul bone didn't seem to bring him much of a boost to his soul power; it only gave him an understanding of the power of time.

After reaching the Soul Saint level, he felt that the difficulty of his cultivation had increased significantly compared to before. Perhaps everything has two sides.

A moment later, he began to absorb the 100,000-year-old left leg bone of the Kunpeng.

When he woke up again, his soul power had increased by two levels.

"From the Soul King level until now, I feel like my cultivation has been rising like a rocket?"

Jiang Nian stood up and shook his head, realizing that he no longer knew how much of his soul power he hadn't acquired through his own cultivation.

After a few sighs, gazing at the frozen ocean before him, he set off for the small island.

As he entered the bedroom, he held the treasure in his hand and remained silent for a long time.

The ancient book before me exudes an ancient aura, a power that seems to control life and death.

"Judge's Pen, Book of Life and Death."

"The construction of the underworld has made another big step forward."

Jiang Nian looked at the power in his hand that did not belong to this plane with complicated feelings. He turned his gaze to the sky and wondered if any gods were watching him at this moment.

Jiang Nian stared blankly for half an hour, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper as he looked at the diary in his hand.

Is this a new timeline, or...?
I always feel that some mysterious force is deliberately luring me in a certain direction.

Jiang Nian stared quietly at the diary in front of him, deciding to make a judgment.

The next day.

He chatted with Qingyu and the other two girls as if nothing had happened.

"Hmm? Brother Jiang Nian, you're going to build a statue?"

"Correct."

Qingyu nodded and offered to help.

Jiang Nian did not refuse.

Once all the materials were ready, the image of the first time he saw the statue in the temple flashed through his mind.

He has a very good memory, so it's not difficult for him to perfectly replicate it.

An hour later.

Looking at the life-size replica of the statue in front of her, Qingyu couldn't help but blush slightly.

The reason is that there are only two people on the statue: one is him, and the other is himself.

The handsome, faceless man held an umbrella in his right hand and a sword in his left.

The girl stood with her hands behind her back, looking up at him with a charming smile.

"Brother Jiang Nian, what about us?"

The other two girls, somewhat disgruntled, put their hands on their hips, indicating that they wanted it too.

Jiang Nian did not refuse, and this time he was very quick, finishing in less than half an hour.

After making the three of them happy, he looked at the small home where he had lived for a year and felt a pang of reluctance.

I guess I really am a sentimental person...

However, he doesn't belong here, and he still has to leave.

"Qingyu".

"Hmm?" The girl with a high ponytail came over and stood there asking him what was wrong.

"Keep this box safe. If I ever return, give it to me."

"By the way, cultivate diligently." Qingyu stared in astonishment at the boy gently stroking her head. Before she could even ask a question, he exuded a mysterious aura and vanished into thin air, turning into a stream of light.

The place where they lived for a year no longer held the spirit of that boy.

Only the girl silently shed tears.

······
pain!
It hurts so much!
Jiang Nian opened his eyes, gritted his teeth, and touched his head, suddenly feeling a little short of breath.

Ok?
So soft...so fragrant...
what?
Jiang Nian regained consciousness, and the moment his pupils focused, he was completely stunned.

That bright blonde hair and that pitiful little face, isn't that Qian Renxue?
"Damn it! You promised to be back soon, how dare you abandon me and leave for a whole year?!"

"You...you big liar! I will never believe a word you say again!"

Jiang Nian looked around and realized that he was back.

It's still the same altar.

The little golden retriever was sobbing uncontrollably in his arms, its tears soaking his clothes.

The aloof and beautiful woman stood to the side with her hands behind her back, wanting to speak, but ultimately said nothing, turning her head and walking towards the side hall, leaving them space to be alone.

Jiang Nian's mouth was gagged. He hadn't seen the little golden retriever for a year and felt that he had changed a lot, but at the same time, he seemed to have remained the same.

She's still so beautiful and cute.

He's just much stronger now.

Jiang Nian responded that he did indeed miss her very much, but he had to do this for the sake of that thing.

Half an hour later.

Qian Renxue covered her slightly swollen lips, her eyes filled with resentment.

"Tell me! Where have you been all year?!"

"If you don't give me an explanation, don't ever come out again. Come back to the Spirit Hall with me and I'll have my grandfather keep an eye on you!"

"You must never leave my side!"

Jiang Nian forced himself to remain calm and began to make up lies.

"You're going to lie to me again, it's always the same."

Qian Renxue's gaze became indifferent.

This really made Jiang Nian a little panicked. No matter what the little golden retriever did, whether he was angry or happy, he could always coax him back.

But her calm demeanor was even more terrifying than when she was facing Bibi Dong.

"Okay... let me explain slowly."

Jiang Nian began explaining from beginning to end, and Qian Renxue's reaction remained indifferent throughout. Her bright eyes were fixed on his, as if she didn't care about these external matters.

The person she cared about was always that one.

"Finished?"

"Ah."

Qian Renxue took a deep breath, stroked his face with both hands, and her eyes became aggrieved.

"Do you know... do you know how I've spent this past year?"

"Xiao Jiang, you're being too selfish."

"You always want to bear everything alone. Have you ever considered my feelings?"

Jiang Nian remained silent and lowered his head, offering no rebuttal.

After she finished venting her emotions, he started to comfort her.

Fortunately, the golden retriever hasn't changed in this respect; he's very easy to please.

"Hmph! I really don't want to talk to you for seven days... oh no, three days... one day, not even a single day!"

"Don't touch me! Who am I to you? What kind of behavior is this, hugging and cuddling me?!"

Qian Renxue stood up and crossed her arms over her chest. She had grown a little taller, and her breasts were now fuller.

Her little mouth was still the same as before, hard.

Jiang Nian tried to hug her several times, and although she struggled for a long time, he eventually let himself hold her.

"What... do I need to explain why I'm hugging my own wife?"

"Um?!!!"
