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

Chapter 224 Auspicious Beast: "Are you trying to get rid of me?"

Soon, night fell.

The capital of slaughter was engulfed in flames.

The three stood on a distant mountain, each with their own thoughts.

"One-quarter left."

Jiang Nian felt somewhat helpless; he had killed so many fallen ones, yet he still hadn't succeeded.

It seems we have to keep killing.

"Jiang Nian, why are you staring over there? Is there something there?" Qian Ling'er asked curiously.

"Nothing much, just looking at the stars."

Jiang Nian averted his gaze; of course, he couldn't admit that he was looking at the souls of those fallen people, could he?
"oh···"

Qian Ling'er held the little white dog in her arms without saying a word, glancing at Hu Liena out of the corner of her eye, feeling that she didn't quite like the guy.

"Let's go, there's no need to keep watching."

Jiang Nian set off first, preparing to leave.

Xiao Bai consciously broke free from Qian Ling'er's embrace, grew bigger, and waddled towards him.

Soon after, the three of them sat on its back and left.

On the speeding road, the chirping of cicadas was incessant.

Jiang Nian looked at Qian Ling'er's profile and wondered whether he should send her back to the Star Dou Great Forest.

He has important business to attend to next, so it won't be convenient for him to go anywhere.

As dawn approached, Jiang Nian glanced at Qian Ling'er, who was still sleeping, and decided to tell her about it when she woke up.

An hour later.

The three people and the rat were eating breakfast. Qian Ling'er ate the most, and even though her belly was already bulging, she still didn't stop eating.

"Jiang Nian, it seems like you have something to tell me."

"Oh? You could have guessed that?"

"of course!"

Qian Ling'er raised her snow-white neck and then swallowed the steamed bun in her hand in a small bite.

"Tell me, considering how good you've been to me lately, I'll do anything I can for you!"

Jiang Nian nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke his mind.

"Humanity will soon be at war, and I will also be going to the battlefield. Your identity is too special, so I will send you back to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Qian Ling'er paused, looked into Jiang Nian's eyes, and then lowered her head in silence.

Hu Liena straightened her back, her eyes shining brightly.

After she left, wouldn't I be able to spend time alone with Brother Jiang Nian?
Oh yeah!
"Jiang Nian... are you trying to kick me out?" Qian Ling'er looked at him with a hint of grievance, and suddenly ate faster, her chest heaving, not knowing why.

"No, it's really inappropriate for someone of your status to be around me. Besides, haven't I been playing with you for a few months already?"

"You should know that, right?"

Qian Ling'er lowered her head and remained silent.

Indeed, Jiang Nian had been taking care of her all this time, putting his own affairs aside.

"But... I haven't had enough fun yet..."

Qian Ling'er swallowed another bun, her voice low.

"Go back and cultivate diligently. When you are stronger than this girl, I will take you traveling."

Hu Liena was tapped on the head, smiled sullenly, and stopped moving closer to Jiang Nian.

"Her? This weakling?" Qian Ling'er curled her lip in disdain.

"What are you talking about! I could beat you with one hand!" Hu Liena frowned in dissatisfaction, puffing out her bulging chest, seemingly trying to compete with something.

"Tch, I should be the one saying that!"

Jiang Nian stopped the two of them from arguing, and immediately felt a headache coming on.

"It's settled then. After this meal, I'll take you back to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"If you want to come find me, just send Xiaobai to deliver a message."

"Squeak?!" Little White was stunned for a moment, then realized that Jiang Nian wanted to put it with Qian Ling'er.

No! As the most loyal mouse, how could it abandon its owner and leave?!
"Squeak." Little White rubbed against Jiang Nian's leg, snot and tears streaming down its face, as if to say it didn't want to leave. "Stop fooling around. If you stay with her, your cultivation speed will increase significantly."

"Little White, you don't want to see me become a god before you've even lived for 100,000 years, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Little White raised its head, and as their eyes met, it suddenly felt the urging.

"Squeak!"

Xiao Bai decided to live up to its master's expectations, stay by Qian Ling'er's side, and strive to reach 100,000 years as soon as possible!
Qian Ling'er looked at the mouse beside her and gently stroked it with her palm.

"Little White, even though your master doesn't want you anymore, it's okay, I'll definitely take good care of you..."

"But why does your flesh... no, your body smell so good?"

Qian Ling'er licked her lips, and the strange look in her eyes made Xiao Bai's hair stand on end.

"Squeak!"

"Okay, I won't eat rat meat."

Qian Ling'er dismissed the thought; at least Jiang Nian had left it to her for company.

Hmph! She didn't really want to follow this guy.

······
After the meal, Xiaobai, acting as free labor, saw them off.

When they arrived at the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, Jiang Nian and Hu Liena got off, while Qian Ling'er remained seated on top.

"Remember, be very careful of humans, and don't go out unless absolutely necessary."

"Okay, okay." Qian Ling'er waved her hand, looking impatient.

Seeing this, Jiang Nian chuckled, said goodbye, and left with Hu Liena.

"Sigh!" Qian Ling'er watched the departing figure, then jumped down and ran a few steps.

"No! You really left so soon?!"

Qian Ling'er stomped her feet in frustration, pouted, and squatted on the ground.

Seeing her displeased expression, Xiaobai was also afraid and lay on the spot, not daring to move, even having to be careful when breathing.

"Hmph~ I'll make you tremble with fear when we meet again!"

"One day, I'll surpass you too!"

Little White's eyelids twitched. It didn't know how many women it had heard say this, but the outcome was always the same: it was always surpassed.

In its view, the auspicious beast was the same.

"What are you looking at? Let's go!"

Qian Ling'er cursed and slapped it on the head.

"Squeak..." Little White complained helplessly.

Damn it! It was all the master's fault, why should I have to take the blame?

Its life was truly like walking on thin ice...
"What's your name? Believe me or not, I'll turn you into dried rat meat."

"..."

As soon as Qian Ling'er returned to her territory, she immediately reverted to her domineering young lady persona.

Every soul beast that passes by gets slapped.

If I see anything I don't like, I'll just smash it to death and prepare to roast it when I get home.

Little White trembled with fear, and immediately regretted obeying its master.
Here.

The two, who were heading towards the Spirit Hall, passed through a small town.

Jiang Nian's eyes widened, thinking that they had actually come to Soto City by chance; what a small world!

This is a good opportunity to see how that scoundrel is doing.

"Come on, Na'er, let me take you to see some acquaintances first."

"Ok?"

Hu Liena followed Jiang Nian's steps, and the two had not walked for more than a few minutes in the city when they heard a cry for help.

"Help! Someone help me!"

"Don't panic, madam! I am a master from Shrek Academy!"
