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

Chapter 3: An unexpected encounter with a golden retriever, and the start of the scam.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Nian was taken back to the Holy Maiden Palace by Bibi Dong.

Stepping into the long corridor and courtyard, the two entered a bedroom.

"Xiao Nian, this will be your residence from now on."

Bibi Dong glanced at him and patiently explained the basic precautions.

A few minutes later.

Jiang Nian now held an ancient book that looked as big as a bluestone slab.

"This is a meditation method I practice. I can use meditation to replace sleep on weekdays. Not only will I not feel tired, but I will also feel more energetic."

"At the same time, it also helps increase your soul power."

Jiang Nian's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly thanked her, saying, "I will certainly live up to your expectations, teacher."

Bibi Dong nodded slightly and stared at the little brat in front of her for a while.

The latter was sweating slightly, his brain racing, unsure of what he had done wrong.

The madwoman's eyes seemed rather frightening, even hinting at a murderous intent.

Bibi Dong frowned slightly and rubbed her forehead.

I feel a little tired.

He then turned around and walked out of the room, leaving Jiang Nian completely bewildered.

After a moment's thought, he concluded that Bibi Dong might have been affected by the murderous aura.

I need to be more careful in the future, otherwise one day I might upset this guy and get myself hung up and beaten.

moment.

Jiang Nian sat cross-legged on the bed with his hands folded over his shoulder.

A small umbrella appeared in his palm, and he began to slowly practice the meditation method given to him by Bibi Dong.

···
The next morning.

Jiang Nian withdrew from his cultivation, exhaled a breath of stale air, and felt warm all over his body.

"Gulu~"

His stomach growled, and he rubbed it somewhat awkwardly.

It's time to get to work.

However, he wasn't familiar with the way to the Holy Maiden's Palace and didn't have any money, so he figured he'd have to find a way to go find Bibi Dong.

As for why there were no maids?
Given her current situation, it's likely that everyone will be affected.

As for Jiang Nian...
He felt that his martial spirit had a subtle and pervasive effect.

The twenty-four solar terms, six of which are in spring.

It seems to have a calming and soothing effect, which is an inherent attribute of the martial spirit itself.

Perhaps future development and opening up could even temper Bibi Dong's murderous intent.

"Forget it, eating is more important."

Jiang Nian got up to go to the toilet and wash up.

He then strolled leisurely around the corridor a few times.

Finally, they stopped outside Bibi Dong's bedroom.

I hesitated for a long time, unsure whether to knock on the door.

Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger; we must be extremely careful now that we're not yet familiar with him.

A moment later, a voice that was neither happy nor sad came to Jiang Nian's ear: "You've been standing here for so long, why don't you come in?"

His expression froze for a moment, then he pushed the door open and entered.

He clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Good morning, teacher."

Bibi Dong opened her phoenix eyebrows and glanced indifferently at the handsome young man at the door.

"What's the matter?"

Jiang Nian scratched his head, feeling slightly embarrassed: "I'm hungry."

"..."

Bibi Dong remained silent for a moment, then tossed out a bag of gold soul coins.

"Go ahead, it was my oversight."

Jiang Nian's brows furrowed slightly with delight, and he picked up the bag of gold soul coins, preparing to leave.

"and many more."

"Teacher, is there anything else you need?"

"Bring me one too."

“Yes…” Jiang Nian took a deep breath as he left the bedroom.

It seems Bibidon is in a fairly good mood today, as she gave Mane so many points.

I counted them quickly, and there were a full one hundred!

As expected of the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, she is indeed very generous.

Following his memory, Jiang Nian fumbled around for a quarter of an hour before finally finding a way out.

On the long staircase, a little golden retriever sat with his back to him, his hands supporting his head as if he had something on his mind.

"Hey! Where did you come from to do this work?"

"?"

······
Upon hearing the sound, the little golden retriever suddenly turned its head and stared wide-eyed at Jiang Nian as he walked out of the courtyard.

Who is this guy?!

Why did you leave where your mom lives?

Suddenly, a surge of complex emotions welled up within her, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Jiang Nian felt a chill run down his spine, as if the sky had collapsed.

He only asked one question, why are you crying?

Hastily!
Qian Daoliu wouldn't go up and slap himself twice as a reward, would he?
Jiang Nian immediately squatted down in front of her: "What's wrong? I didn't bully you, did I?"

I'd seen this little golden retriever a few times before; it's quite cute.

However, every time I saw her, she was crying, clearly because she had been scolded by Bibi Dong.

Qian Renxue glared at Jiang Nian with a wronged expression, her tone tinged with sourness: "You... how did you get out of my mom's place?"

"Are you trying to steal my mom?!"

Jiang Nian's head was filled with a question mark. He wasn't Wa Xuedi, so why was he stealing his mom's attention?
"Who stole your mom? It's perfectly normal for me to leave my teacher's place, isn't it?"

Qian Renxue stopped crying and blinked her bright eyes, asking, "Really? You're Mommy's disciple?"

"correct."

Seeing that the little golden retriever had finally stopped crying, Jiang Nian felt a great weight lifted from his heart.
If I make this little devil cry, I probably won't see the sun rise tomorrow.

Qian Renxue wiped away the tears that were about to fall, lowered her head, and whispered, "I'm sorry..."

"Ahem~ Let's not talk about this anymore."

"Why did you come to see your mom so early? Is there something you need?"

Jiang Nian didn't mind and sat down with her on the stone steps.

This is the little princess of the Spirit Hall; it's always a good idea to build a good relationship with her.

"I..." Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment, but considering that Jiang Nian was her mother's disciple and didn't seem like a bad person, she spoke up: "My mother has never liked me. I want to play with her, but I always get scolded..."

"I don't know what I did wrong."

The little golden retriever pouted, buried half its face in its arms, and looked very disappointed.

Jiang Nian scratched his head, unable to think of a way to ease the tension between the mother and daughter.

Compared to that, he would rather go eat.

However, since Qian Renxue is here, let's just bear with it for a while.

"Do you think... Mommy really hates me?"

The little golden retriever raised its head and looked pitifully into Jiang Nian's eyes, as if trying to get answers from this stranger.

"No, they say there's nothing better than a mother in the world, and a child with a mother is a treasure."

"Although the teacher yells at you a lot, I suspect she still cares about you a little."

Jiang Nian rambled on and on, intending to calm Qian Renxue down first.

We'll talk about what happens next; let's cheer this little guy up first.

"Really?!"

A bright golden light immediately flashed in the little golden retriever's eyes, and some of its inner confusion dissipated.

"It's true."

"As the saying goes, a beating is a form of scolding, but love is a form of affection."

"If you don't hit or scold them, aren't they just strangers?"

Jiang Nian continued his charade, even employing the rhetoric of a success guru from his previous life.

"She did this because she loves you."

"If it were anyone else, the teacher wouldn't even have the desire to speak."

"I understand the applause."
