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

Chapter 159 Hu Liena: Brother Jiang Nian is right

"Oh? Really?" Hu Liena stopped her tears from falling, her bright eyes blinking.

"of course."

Jiang Nian took out a tissue and handed it to her: "Wipe it off, there's still your nose."

The girl blushed upon hearing this, softly hummed in agreement, and turned her back to begin wiping.

It suddenly felt a little awkward.

I should have waited a little longer...
Jiang Nian looked at the majestic Papal Palace, gently patted her head, and said, "Let's go first."

Hu Liena followed two steps behind, her steps becoming much lighter. The sadness she had shown earlier had vanished, and she was now in the mood to joke with him.

Bibi Dong walked out of the Papal Palace, her brows furrowing as she watched the two figures depart. She felt even more depressed when she noticed Hu Liena holding Jiang Nian's arm.

"He's being disobedient again."

"This is really a headache..."

Bibi Dong sighed softly, turned and left, leaving only the clatter of her high heels.

Without Qian Renxue, Hu Liena was very happy every day, since she would never refuse any of Jiang Nian's requests as long as she went there.

However, he spends most of his time cultivating.

Jiang Nian's cultivation level has improved rapidly. He usually spends his free time honing his soul skills and soul bone skills.

He only cultivated at night when he was sleeping, and taught Hu Liena and the others during the day.

"Brother Jiang Nian, I've learned a new way to charm people, do you want to try it?"

A short-haired girl approached him, her aura enveloping him. Jiang Nian put down his book without even blinking.

"What kind of weird charm skill is this now? When are you going to learn something decent?"

Hu Liena shyly stuck out her little pink tongue, lowered her head, and took his arm.

"Since it's described as an alluring charm... then I definitely have to use my full strength!"

"Besides... I only use it on Brother Jiang Nian."

The long-haired boy tapped her head, then shook his head in refusal.

"You should use this time to focus more on your cultivation."

"Stop with all that useful and useless stuff."

Jiang Nian picked up the book again and started reading. Hu Liena lowered her head and said "oh," then rubbed her head and sat down beside him in a daze. Out of the corner of her eye, she looked at his handsome profile, and her cheeks unconsciously became hot.

He's still as handsome as ever, and now that his hair has grown long, he exudes an ethereal, otherworldly charm.

I could sit here and watch for three days and three nights without getting tired of it.

I really envy Sister Xiaoxue; she has him completely.

Hu Liena rested her chin on her hands, sighed, and stared at the ants on the ground as they moved their nest.

How can I win over Brother Jiang Nian?

Charm won't work, nor will strength, talent, or background.

Hu Liena was a little confused, unsure of what he liked.

"Na'er."

"Huh? Here!"

The girl straightened her back immediately, waiting for his instructions.

Jiang Nian put the books in his hand into his storage soul tool, glanced at the sun in the sky, and said calmly, "It's time to train."

"Go all out against me; today I'll continue to hone your mental strength."

Hu Liena's eyes lit up. This was her favorite training task. Every time Brother Jiang Nian guided her carefully, she would be exhausted and drenched in sweat afterward.

It's more comfortable than anything else.

Moreover, she can feel herself making progress little by little.

Although he is only a Soul Master now, controlling ordinary Soul Masters is effortless!
"Okay!"

Hu Liena curled the corners of her mouth and immediately unleashed her strongest skill.

A glint of pink light flashed in Jiang Nian's eyes. In the illusion, he saw a little fox dressed in black silk, bewitching him. If a Soul Emperor or Soul Saint were to deal with him like this, it would be fine, but a mere Soul Venerable—no matter what he did, he couldn't be affected.

Jiang Nian's eyes were clear, and he quickly found the flaw.

Hu Liena gritted her teeth and fought with increasing courage. He would occasionally offer a few pointers to improve her seductive techniques.

The little fox learned very quickly and listened to Jiang Nian very well.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

Hu Liena's soul power was almost completely exhausted. She lay on the ground, panting heavily, her body covered in sweat from the battle.

She didn't feel tired at all; on the contrary, she felt very refreshed.

Jiang Nian's brother already had a heavy workload, and he often instructed her in cultivation. Just the time they spent alone together was enough to make her very happy.

"In the future, the approach to seduction should be changed; not everyone likes the same template."

Hu Liena pricked up her ears, humbly seeking advice.

Although I usually receive guidance from teachers at the Martial Soul Academy, I mostly figure things out on my own.

It's perfectly normal to know little about it.

"Brother Jiang Nian, what should we do?"

The girl sat down next to him, swinging her legs and staring intently into his eyes.

I don't know if I'm looking at people or listening to a lecture.

"Your martial soul can arouse the desires and emotions of soul masters and thus be manipulated, but it can't keep seducing them in your appearance forever, can it?"

"For example, transforming into someone else's appearance?"

Hu Liena tilted her head and blinked: "Besides Sister Xiaoxue and His Holiness the Pope, is there anyone... prettier than me?"

Jiang Nian: "..."

Good grief, they didn't pay attention to the important points at all.

"It's different. For example, everyone has someone they truly love in their heart. That person may not be here anymore, may leave, or may not even know you."

"But you just like her (him)."

A sentence came to Jiang Nian's mind.

A deceptive honey trap: A hot, alluring woman seduces you.

The real honey trap:

One day you met a girl who looked seven parts like her, wearing a white dress, who stood in front of you and said playfully:
"Hehe, long time no see~"

"Why are you still the same as before?"

"Stand up straight, don't hunch over!"

"Hey, have you forgotten what I said?!"

"Stupid like an idiot."

Jiang Nian explained the general idea to Hu Liena. In this continent of love, if she could master this technique, she felt that even crossing one or two major realms to kill enemies would be no problem.

After a long while, Hu Liena stared at the boy in front of her in shock, opening her mouth as if to say something but then stopping herself.

"Brother Jiang Nian, who is the person in your heart?"

Even though she already had the answer, she couldn't help but ask.

Hu Liena nervously bit her lower lip, letting the cold air blow on her face. Even though it stung, she still stared straight into his eyes.

"me?"

Jiang Nian paused, looked into the distance, and her gaze softened.

He didn't reply, but simply buttoned up his snow-white robe, tucking his neck into the blue scarf.

It was a cold winter, but he was dressed in clothes chosen by a girl, which carried her warmth and drove away the cold wind that tried to sneak in.

Even though she wasn't by my side, her presence still left its mark.

"you guess."
