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

Chapter 160 The moon is very bright, but its brightness is useless, yet it still shines.

Hu Liena gritted her teeth, wanting to punch this guy right now.

I was so eager to hear the answer, but instead I had to guess?!
No wonder Sister Xiaoxue gets angry sometimes; it seems there's a reason for everything!
"Oh, brother, please tell me about it!"

Jiang Nian shook his head, wondering if someone was secretly listening.

Seeing that he was unmoved by her words, Hu Liena had no choice but to give up.

Although she didn't say it, she knew in her heart who that girl was.

Such urgent questioning is for that less than one in ten thousand chance.

Hu Liena stared at his profile for a long time, lamenting why she hadn't been born a few years earlier.

“Brother Jiang Nian, I’ll go back and look into your suggestion.”

"But I'm curious..."

"Woo~"

Jiang Nian covered her lips with his index finger and shook his head to indicate that she should not say it.

Some things are best left unsaid; it's best for both parties to know.

He's already having a headache over Qian Renxue's relationship with Bibi Dong; if another one comes along, he might as well just die on the spot.

Once we're stronger, maybe we can consider it...
"Na'er, what is the most important thing for a Soul Master before the age of twenty?"

"Cultivation! Cultivation! It's still all about cultivation!"

"Even dating addicts don't date."

The chill behind Jiang Nian dissipated, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, I'm naturally suspicious, otherwise I would have given that yandere teacher another excuse.

At that point, I might really not be able to get out.

Thirty-year-old women are like wolves and tigers...

"Huh?" Hu Liena's eyes widened, and she blinked strangely, as if to say, "Brother Jiang Nian, aren't you and Sister Xiaoxue in a relationship?"

If he could read minds, he would surely reply with a straight and firm statement: "Good friend, true friendship."

"Don't believe or spread rumors."

"We've just gotten a little closer, but that's not really it."

Of course, if a blonde girl overheard this, Jiang Nian would wake up the next day to find himself in a dark basement, his limbs bound, and the walls covered with props he had never seen before.

Hu Liena was tapped on the head again. She rubbed it pitifully and pouted, asking if they could stop bullying her.

Jiang Nian hummed in agreement and then pinched the little girl's cheek.

Hu Liena lowered her head shyly, letting him do as he pleased.

In the cold winter, snowflakes are falling again.

Jiang Nian's blue scarf fluttered against her cheek, and a hint of envy appeared in the girl's eyes.

She had also seen her sister Xiaoxue wearing the same style of scarf, and she almost never took it off in winter.

She would only puff out her cheeks and take it off when Jiang Nian's brother wasn't wearing it.

The cold wind stirred the girl's heart. She gently placed her hand on the back of her head and removed a pink hair clip. The disappointment in her eyes gradually turned into contented happiness.

It seems that this is actually quite good.

Hu Liena looked up and exhaled a breath of hot air. Her captivating eyes held the most important emotions of her life.

"Brother Jiang Nian, can I lean against you for a while?"

"No."

"Oh~ Just for a moment~ Brother Jiang Nian is the best!"

"······walk slowly."

Hu Liena chuckled, resting her head gently on his shoulder. Watching the snowflakes fall heavier and heavier, she didn't feel cold at all, only incredibly warm.

·······
"Aqiu!"

"Strange, something feels off."

Qian Renxue scratched her head, looking at the snowflakes fluttering outside with a puzzled expression.

"Xiaoxue, is there a problem with your cultivation?" A gentle voice came from behind. The little golden retriever turned around, pouted, and shook his head: "No, I was thinking about something."

Qian Daoliu caught a fleeting look of disappointment in his beloved granddaughter's eyes, and his heart ached once again.

Even though it's happened so many times, it still makes me so sad.

After all, this is her precious granddaughter whom she has taken care of since she was a child.

So many years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Perhaps it won't be long before the Angel Nine Exams...

Then, he will never see the cuddly golden retriever again.

"Grandpa, did Xiao Jiang come to see me while I was in seclusion?"

"Hmm... I've been here a few times."

"Whoa whoa."

Qian Renxue nodded, somewhat satisfied.

If that guy dares to skip even once...

hum!

He'll get what's coming to him!

"Jiang Nian has already reached the Soul Saint level, you'd better work harder."

"When you are crowned a Title Douluo, the entire Spirit Hall can be entrusted to your hands with peace of mind."

"Also, you and Jiang Nian should be mindful of your boundaries. At your age... sigh! You child, Grandpa hasn't finished speaking yet."

Qian Daoliu watched as Qian Renxue, with her high ponytail swaying, ran off. He wanted to stop her, but in the end, he could only extend his hand.

"Grandpa, aren't you being too long-winded these days?"

"I'll definitely surpass Xiao Jiang when I start the Divine Trial! Also, we're not like what you think!"

Qian Daoliu looked at the girl who had disappeared before his eyes and shook his head helplessly.

They still say that's not true...
He's not stupid, he's just too lazy to care... Oh no, it's no use caring now.

Qian Daoliu looked up at the ceiling of the offering hall and sighed inwardly at how difficult it had been for him, an old man.

"If you give me a golden retriever puppy someday, that would be nice too..."

······
Qian Renxue quickly climbed to the Holy Son's Palace, kicked open the door to his bedroom, and after finding no one inside, she called out a few words.

Upon arriving at the herb garden, I saw Qingyu leisurely reclining on a chair, while Xiaobai, wearing a straw hat, was working hard in the field.

At this moment, some fruits have grown, and Qian Renxue can tell which ones are edible. She casually picked a handful and stuffed them into her mouth.

"Sister Qingyu, where's Xiao Jiang?"

"Him? He must have gone out. He wasn't home during the day."

Looking at the beautiful young girl in front of her, Qingyu thought that only a girl like this could make Brother Jiang Nian like her.
She has no desires now, only wanting to stay by that boy's side, just like she did 30,000 years ago.

“Squeak?!”

When Xiaobai saw the proprietress approaching, she immediately put down what she was holding and sidled up to her.

With that pitiful look, you'd think she was working two shifts at a glass factory.

"What? She changed your four-day work week to 996?"

"Squeak!"

Xiao Bai cried and pleaded for justice, but the landlady's mind was elsewhere; she was only thinking about where the boss had run off to.
He couldn't possibly have run off with his sister-in-law, could he?

No... she doesn't have a younger sister.

"Ahem... Sister Xiaoxue... Xiaoxue, I think it's too lazy, so I resorted to this tactic."

"After all, high salaries and many days off are not conducive to hard work."

Little White suddenly felt dizzy, realizing that life as a mouse was just too difficult.

"Whatever, whatever, I'm going to find Xiao Jiang."

"Honestly, he's never home; all he does is go out and fool around. I wonder which girl has run off with him..."
