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

Chapter 45 Bibi Dong's Strange Emotions, All Sects Gather
Jiang Nian's two kidneys were held hostage. He turned his head and looked at their questioning expressions, and said calmly, "Give them to the teacher."

"What have you guys thought?"

Jin Yue'er was the first to let go, tilting her head back as if she hadn't done anything.

Qian Renxue looked into his eyes suspiciously, and asked uncertainly, "Really?"

"Are you sure it's not that little fox?"

Jiang Nian frowned and nodded solemnly.

Why is everyone so wary of Hu Liena?
It's really too...

"Ahem~ Since that's the case, let's hurry up."

Qian Renxue took Jin Yue'er's arm and walked forward, while Jiang Nian quickly caught up after bringing some things.

It wasn't until the streets were nearly deserted that the three of them reluctantly parted ways.

He stopped in front of the steps of the Papal Palace, a hint of hesitation in his mind.

Bibi Dong should be resting by now, right?
Or should we wait until tomorrow?

Jiang Nian turned to the side, hesitated for a couple of steps, and then decided to go in and take a look.

soon.

He looked at the young woman who was feigning sleep in the main hall, and his steps became much steadyer.

Some of the maids in the two rows were getting sleepy, squinting their eyes, wondering why His Holiness the Pope hadn't gone back to his room to rest yet.
Da Da Da~
The footsteps stopped.

Bibi Dong slowly opened her purple eyes and asked expressionlessly, "What do you want with me?"

Jiang Nian clasped his hands in a respectful greeting, then smiled and said, "Teacher, today is Christmas Eve, and I went out to buy you some gifts."

After a moment, she said with a hint of reproach, "The last Mid-Autumn Festival just ended... Never mind, just bring it up."

"Yes." Jiang Nian took a step forward and approached Bibi Dong.

They stopped when they were less than half a meter away from her.

She took out the gifts she had bought in advance and slowly introduced them.

Bibi Dong listened attentively, and her mood gradually improved.

"He hasn't learned anything, but he's pretty good at pleasing girls."

Jiang Nian scratched his head and looked at her seriously: "You can't say that."

"In my opinion, only teachers can make me go to great lengths to please them."

Bibi Dong waved her hand, casually picked out a pink jade bracelet, and handed it to him.

"Here, put this on the teacher."

"Ok."

Jiang Nian took the bracelet, half-squatted down, and looked at Bibi Dong's knees.

Her long, slender legs were crossed, and her fair skin was so delicate it seemed to break at a touch.

He took a breath, grasped her slender wrist with his left hand, and gently put the necklace on her with his right.

"Go in."

Bibi Dong looked at it and commented, "The size is quite suitable. You've put a lot of thought into it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian's lips curled into a smile.

To avoid getting beaten up for stepping into the Papal Palace with his left foot, he had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

but···
Jiang Nian subconsciously sniffed his right hand; the fragrance lingered on his fingertips.

Just as he was about to stand up, Bibi Dong slapped him on the head.

He didn't say a word, just watched calmly.

Their eyes met, and Jiang Nian appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was already filled with ripples.

Half a minute later, Bibi Dong moved her hand.

Like petting a furry child, gentle and slow.

He pinched her fair, rosy cheeks from head to chin, his eyes flickering slightly.

Now he has taken on a mature appearance, possessing the air and looks of a noble young master.

She has a cool and aloof appearance, but a fiery heart.

She was extremely beautiful.

After staring at it for a long time, Bibi Dong finally put her fingers down and calmed herself down.

Do you have enough money lately? Is there anything you want?

Jiang Nian thought about it, and it seemed there really wasn't one. Of course, wanting a 100,000-year-old soul bone was unrealistic...
"No, I just want to see my teacher more often each day and have him guide me in my cultivation when he has time. That would be enough for me."

Bibi Dong stared intently into his eyes, and the emotions she had just suppressed were silently released again.

"Really?"

"Mhm!" Jiang Nian nodded, glancing at Bibi Dong's expression out of the corner of his eye, thinking that this time it should be a sure thing.

As is her habit, her hands would get itchy every now and then.

Now, having been fooled by his own sweet words, everything should be fine...
"Okay, I see."

"You go back and rest first."

Jiang Nian hummed in agreement, bowed, turned and left with unusually light steps.

As Bibi Dong looked at that figure that was almost grown up, she couldn't help but feel a little troubled.

Perhaps she didn't realize that Jiang Nian's words and actions could easily evoke her emotions.

Only when he was around did that restlessness, anger, and resentment...
Only then can various negative emotions be suppressed.

Like a spring breeze, it carried away many of my broken memories and thoughts.

"Little New Year..."

Looking at the now empty hall, Bibi Dong suddenly felt a sense of loss.

Then, she closed her eyes again, and the aura emanating from her was chilling.

······
The next day.

The vast western suburbs of Wuhun City were unusually lively today.

"Wow~ The Tianyun Chamber of Commerce is really rich, they're actually providing us with food, clothing, and lodging for free..."

"Sister Xiaoxue, is it possible that this is just targeting us?"

"is it?"

Qian Renxue also learned Jiang Nian's personality, eating wherever she went.

Getting it is a win.

No matter how thick-skinned you are, you have to put aside your pride when faced with something tangible.

"Of course, this young master of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce is Brother Xiao Jiang's classmate."

Jin Yue'er ate one big steamed bun after another, her cheeks bulging out.

Jiang Nian kept her head down and ate her breakfast, not participating in their conversation.

He occasionally observed the nobles entering the city; they were mostly small and medium-sized families, as well as some families that maintained neutrality.

While ostensibly watching a competition among young people, the various nobles were actually using this opportunity to expand their networks.

"Hurry up and eat, then we'll enter the Soul Arena."

The two women exchanged a glance, then lowered their heads and quickened their pace slightly.

Soon after, the three of them went to the elegant room that Zhao Bai had arranged in advance.

Ordinary Soul Masters can only watch from below, while those with money can sit in private boxes.

Jiang Nian sized up the nobles from the Tian Dou and Xing Luo Empires, and could tell which faction they came from just by looking at the insignia on their clothes.

"Huh? There's also the Holy Dragon Sect and the Elephant Armor Sect..."

A few minutes later, he watched as several women dressed in bee costumes and wearing high heels went up to the private room on the second floor.

These people should be from the all-female sect, the Sparrow Bee Sect.

Jiang Nian leaned back and then stretched.

Hopefully, there will be a few decent players, otherwise it will be too boring.

As time goes by.

A middle-aged man walked onto the arena and loudly explained the rules of the martial arts tournament.

When he finished speaking, he took out the priceless, exquisitely colored armor.

Just looking at its appearance, it seems very gorgeous.

Many people were drawn to it, even sects like the Holy Dragon Sect showed their eagerness.

Although their strength is considered considerable on the mainland, every family has descendants.

Armor that can withstand a full-force attack from a Soul Saint is already quite good.

"I hereby declare..."
