Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 19 Mom is actually quite cute!
In a secluded corner, Jiang Yi and Gu Yue sat down side by side.

"Congratulations on being accepted as a disciple by the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo."

Jiang Yi spoke, his tone sincere.

He only guessed Leng Yaozhu's identity immediately after seeing Gu Yue.

"Thanks."

Gu Yue nodded gently, a faint smile curving her lips.

Then, her gaze lingered on Jiang Yi's face for a moment, and suddenly, as if remembering something, she asked softly.

"Was that...your mother?"

Her eyes flickered slightly as she spoke, and her seemingly casual tone seemed to contain a unique kind of concern.

"No! She's my older sister... My mother passed away when we were young."

Jiang Yi shook his head and said in a slightly low voice.

That's good……

Gu Yue felt a sense of relief for no apparent reason, but then suddenly realized what was happening, and two red clouds suddenly appeared on her cheeks.

bah bah bah!
Gu Yue, why are you thinking about this again!
What a hell.

She shook her head slightly, trying to shake off those inexplicable thoughts.

These past few days, she didn't know if she was bewitched, but whenever she saw Jiang Yi, she couldn't help wanting to hug him, just like... just like her mother...

"Gu Yue?"

Jiang Yi patted her shoulder and called out softly.

"Ah... I'm fine... I just suddenly thought of some other things."

Gu Yue snapped out of her daze and, meeting Jiang Yi's probing gaze, awkwardly turned her face away.

Her breathing was slightly disordered, and she turned her head away like a child caught doing something wrong, her eyes darting around.

Seeing Gu Yue's appearance, Jiang Yi's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.

Gu Yue's mother, how long are you going to keep pretending? Stop putting up with it and give up!
When the powerful figures of Douluo Continent see me, they either flee in terror or take me in as their adopted sons.

The prestige of being a divine son, an imperial son, or a holy son is self-evident, and this dragon son is certainly not out of the question!
Of course, this was just something Jiang Yi thought to himself.

Since Gu Yue's body was the same age as him, he naturally couldn't just bow down and worship like he did with the Demon Emperor.

However, he was not in a hurry. The process of worshipping a godmother was like cooking over a low flame, slowly simmering, so that the mother he worshipped would have more charm.

This is based on experience.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Gu Yue suddenly stood up and said goodbye to Jiang Yi.

"Ahem! I have to go now, the teacher is still waiting for me over there."

She felt her gaze towards Jiang Yi soften and become loving again.

"goodbye!"

Jiang Yi waved and chuckled as he watched Gu Yue's somewhat hurried figure disappear into the distance.

This mom is actually quite cute!

Then, Jiang Yi also got up and walked towards Nanali.

……

The following dinner proceeded without any further incidents.

Leng Yaozhu came here only to introduce Gu Yue and the others to them before leaving.

Leng Yulai, however, was nowhere to be seen. She did not return until the banquet ended and the guests had left.

"Let's go! She's probably going back first."

Nanali stood at the door and, seeing Jiang Yi still looking around, spoke up to remind him.

"Ok!"

Jiang Yi thought for a moment and nodded. Then, he and Nanali got into the car.

When they returned to their lodgings, they indeed saw Leng Yulai.

On the second floor of the small villa, the moonlight shone like water, filling the balcony, where empty wine bottles were scattered all around.

Leng Yulai sat leaning against the wall, her eyes closed, her long legs casually placed on the ground, and she was holding a wine bottle in her arms. The strong smell of alcohol filled the air.

Her red lips moved slightly, uttering indistinct murmurs.

"elder sister?"

Jiang Yi called out tentatively, but received no response.

"Take her back to her room, she'll be fine after a nap. I'm going to take a shower first." Nanali yawned. The two had been partners for many years, and this kind of situation was nothing new to them.

Late-night emo, you'll get used to it.

Alcohol is generally not enough to intoxicate a Title Douluo; Leng Yulai seems to have deliberately gotten drunk.

After saying that, Nanali turned and left.

Seeing this, Jiang Yi had no choice but to step forward, put his arms around Leng Yulai's body, pick her up, and carry her to the bedroom next door.

Entering Leng Yulai's bedroom, Jiang Yi gently placed her on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

Just as he was about to leave, a fair hand suddenly reached out from under the covers and tightly grabbed his wrist.

A tremendous force struck, catching Jiang Yi off guard, and he was pulled down onto the bed.

Before he could even get up, a soft body leaned against him, along with a pungent smell of alcohol.

"elder sister?"

Jiang Yi tried to pry her hands open, but the difference in strength between them was too great. Even Leng Yulai's subconscious action was something he could not resist.

"Don't go... Sister..."

Leng Yulai murmured unconsciously, then leaned closer to him, pressing her cheek against his chest.

"Have you forgotten...the promise we made when we were little..."

Her voice, choked with sobs, was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

Jiang Yi wished he could sew his ears shut.

But Leng Yulai seemed to have found an outlet, recounting the grievances and resentments of the past years, like a little sister acting coquettishly in front of her older sister.

"We clearly agreed... Yunming... I can disregard him... but sister, how could you lie to me... Is he more important than me...?"

"Sister! I hate you! But I hate the man who took you away even more!"

A few lines of tears streamed down her face, her pitiful appearance causing one's heart to ache.

Jiang Yi was hesitating whether to wipe away her tears when the whispers in the room suddenly stopped.

Under the moonlight, those eyes that should have been closed suddenly opened, meeting Jiang Yi's gaze. The smell of alcohol in the air had dissipated at some point.

In an instant, both of them stiffened slightly, and a deathly silence spread between them.

"You know me... I'm just a Grand Soul Master..."

Jiang Yi blinked and explained in a low voice.

Before he could finish speaking, with a whoosh, the warmth in his arms was suddenly pulled away.

The next instant, Leng Yulai had already landed by the window, her back to Jiang Yi, her icy voice echoing in the room.

"go out!"

Jiang Yi wisely kept quiet and got up to leave the room.

boom!
The moment the door closed, Leng Yulai slowly turned around, her pretty face still wet with tears, but a hint of shame and annoyance flashed in her eyes.

This was the first time she had shown this side of herself in front of outsiders.

However, the next moment, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly deflated, her body slowly leaning backward and falling back onto the bed.

The moonlight shone down, illuminating her face with its shifting light and shadow, and Leng Yulai felt lost and confused.

Even if Jiang Yi hadn't stopped her today, would she really have harmed her sister?

She and Leng Yaozhu were the two most outstanding people in the Leng family of that generation, and they were also sisters who were connected by blood. However, their situations in the family were completely different.

My sister's personality is just like her martial spirit: warm and cheerful. She is loved and valued by her family members.

Because of the influence of her martial spirit, she was introverted and extreme. Even though her cultivation level was higher than her sister's in her early years, she was always just an accompaniment to her sister wherever she went.

But she didn't care about any of that; as long as her sister cared about her, that was enough.

In this world, the only person she cared about was her older sister.

Everything changed after that man appeared...

……

After coming down from the second floor, Jiang Yi rubbed his temples and headed towards his room.

However, as soon as Jiang Yi entered, he saw Nanali sitting inside with her legs crossed, drying her wet hair with a towel.

She looked at Jiang Yi as he entered, a sly smile appearing on her face.

"How was it? The little phoenix was crying and fussing, wasn't it especially funny?"
