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

Chapter 42 Qian Daoliu: Daughters grow up and leave home, where is my sword?
That day, Bibi Dong, having nothing to do, went back to see what that little rascal Jiang Nian was busy with every day.

Then, she sensed an extremely weak aura of a soul beast.

With a furrowed brow, he instantly descended into the herb garden.

Seeing a large white rat watering and tending to the medicinal herbs in front of me, I couldn't help but slightly open my mouth.

Then I saw it lounging in a chair, legs crossed, basking in the sun, which seemed a bit absurd.

This soul beast is only a thousand years old.

How could someone be so humane?
Where did that little guy come from?

Bibi Dong strode up to it, her powerful aura causing Xiao Bai to open its eyes instantly. Seeing the woman's cold and arrogant face, it was so frightened that it knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Squeak...squeak squeak..."

Bibi Dong glanced at the flowers and plants around her, then looked at Jiang Nian exercising in the distance.

Perhaps it was his sixth sense, but he inadvertently turned his head and saw his teacher, dressed in purple, standing there.

Jiang Nian muttered a couple of things to himself, then jogged over.

"Teacher, why are you here?"

Bibi Dong snorted coldly and pinched his cheek with one hand: "Where did this rat come from?"

Jiang Nian was forced to pout, and said somewhat helplessly, "I picked it up in the Soul Hunting Forest a while ago."

“I think it has a very high level of spirituality, and it can also find medicinal herbs and cultivate them.”

"So we brought this Hundred-Herb Rat back. Doesn't that save the disciple some time to cultivate?"

Upon hearing his account, Bibi Dong nodded slightly.

But why is it female?
She glanced at the terrified little mouse and gave a disdainful smirk.

After a moment, he put his mind at ease.

“You’re living a comfortable life. Teachers are busy with official business every day and don’t even have anyone to talk to.” Bibi Dong stretched out her right hand, looking at the boy who had already reached her neck, and sighed inwardly at how fast the little guy was growing.

Thinking back to four years ago, I was still so short.

now···
Perhaps it won't be long before I surpass her.

It's a little awkward to even pat its head.

"No way... The teacher can come back anytime she wants."

Jiang Nian helped her slowly walk towards the recliner.

After Bibi Dong sat down lazily, he began to massage her.

The technique was extremely skillful, moving from the shoulders to the thighs.

Then, he looked at the jailer.

After glancing at it, he ultimately did not make a move.

"Xiao Nian, you have so many medicinal herbs in your garden! Tell your teacher what they are used for."

"Yes." Jiang began to introduce these flowers, herbs, and spiritual fruits.

When he mentioned a pink medicinal herb, the corners of his mouth lifted, and his tone became much lighter.

"Teacher, this is a beauty herb. Drinking it as a tea will make you look younger."

"I plan to give it to my teacher once it's ripe."

Bibi Dong snorted coldly: "Are you saying... I'm old?"

Feeling the pain in his ears, Jiang Nian added a few words helplessly.

"Teacher, you are still very young and beautiful. Time has not left any trace on your face."

Outsiders would instinctively think you're still an eighteen-year-old girl...

Bibi Dong released her grip, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Hmph~ Who knows if that's what you really think?"

After saying that, she looked intently at the few pink medicinal herbs.

His gaze gradually softened.

This little rascal is really putting in the effort.

······
After Bibi Dong was sent away.

Jiang Nian looked at the little white dog hiding in the bushes and angrily pulled it out.

"Look at you, you coward..."

"Squeak~"

Little White let out two plaintive cries.

It's cowardly, but not stupid!
That woman could glare at me to death with just one look. What should I do if I don't try to please her?
Seeing that it still dared to resist, Jiang Nian immediately said seriously, "From now on, work eight hours a day, five days on and two days off. I'll work you to death!"

Xiao Bai's face froze, feeling as if the sky had collapsed.

Do not!
"You vicious capitalist!" Jiang Nian kicked it into the ground, then picked a fruit and ate it.

Hmm... it's so nice to have someone do the work.

The next day.

Jiang Nian looked at Xie Yue and his sister who were following behind him and gave them some whale glue to eat.

"Brother Xiao Nian, will eating this really make me stronger?" Hu Liena asked doubtfully.

Yan patted his chest and said happily, "Na'er, you wrapped it!"

"Back then, Brother Nian just gave me a piece of whale glue, which directly broke the absorption limit for the first spirit ring!"

Xie Yue swallowed it without hesitation, then his expression turned ugly and his body turned red.

After the heat gradually subsided, he exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Cool!"

Seeing her younger sister still absorbing the nutrients beside her, she couldn't help but feel grateful as she met Jiang Nian's eyes.

"Brother Nian! Thank you so much..."

After bowing deeply, Jiang Nian helped him up.

"fine."

Xie Yue stood aside, then Yan pulled her over to compare muscles.

Soon, Hu Liena finished absorbing the nutrients, let out a soft moan, and felt a tingling, numb sensation.

With those fox-like eyebrows open, she was already incredibly alluring at such a young age.

Jin Yue'er glanced at Jiang Nian's eyes and pinched him with her hand in annoyance.

"what?"

"Humph!"

He just glanced at it and said, "Little Yue'er, you're in a hurry."

Hu Liena stood up in surprise, wanting to give Jin Yue'er a hug, but seeing that Jin Yue'er's eyes were somewhat serious, she suppressed the thought.

"Brother Xiao Nian! I feel like I can absorb a soul ring that's about seven hundred years old now."

Jiang Nian gave her a look, then reached out and squeezed her arm.

"Yeah, almost."

Hu Liena lowered her head, clasped her hands together, and wanted to say something, but then realized that it seemed like lunch break was over.

We'll have to get together another time.

"Brother Xiaonian, I'm going to class now!"

"Ah."

···
Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu looked at the medicinal herbs in his granddaughter's hand, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Xiaoxue, what are you holding in your hand?"

Qian Renxue held the medicinal herbs in her arms, looking at him with a cautious expression.

"Grandpa, this is Soul-Gathering Grass, which can increase the cultivation speed of Soul Masters. I had to beg Xiao Jiang for a long time to give me these three."

Qian Daoliu looked at his beloved granddaughter, who was guarding her food, with a pained expression.

Little Jiang, Little Jiang...
Gan!
"Ahem... Xiaoxue, Grandpa is just asking, he's not going to take it."

"Besides, this thing is useless to Grandpa."

Qian Renxue nodded, thinking to herself that this was indeed the case.

She then reluctantly handed the items over to Qian Daoliu.

This move made the old man even more disheartened.

After examining it for a while, he nodded and returned it to the little golden retriever.

That kid, I didn't expect him to be so knowledgeable about medicinal herbs.

You can even find something like this...
"Since Jiang Nian gave it to you, then take it properly."

After Qian Renxue put it away, she nodded proudly: "That's right! Everything he gives me is good!"

"Grandpa, I'm going to start cultivating now."

After saying that, the little golden retriever hopped and skipped back to its own yard.

Qian Daoliu stared intently at the petite figure from behind, and sighed inwardly.

It seems daughters grow up and leave home...
"No, I have to meet that kid."
