Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Master Ball, Beauty, Please Stay!

The Heavenly Soul Empire is still too poor; it doesn't even have a soul tool for hot water and has to rely on corrupt maids.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Jiang Yi opened her eyes, and a pair of small hands climbed onto his shoulders and gently rubbed them.

He frowned, and just as he was about to turn around, a slightly tense voice rang out, making him lie back down quietly.

"Lord Jiang! I have some writings for sale. I wonder if you would be interested?"

Nan Shui Shui stared at Jiang Yi's smooth back, unable to see his front, but still unconsciously swallowed.

The hot water is too hot, I'm thirsty...

Her shoulder-massaging technique was a bit clumsy, but her experience as a married woman taught her that men didn't care about the gestures.

"What deal? Why is Master Nan coming here so late at night? Does he want to give the Earth Dragon Gate to Shrek?"

Jiang Yi relaxed his shoulders, enjoying the sect leader's service, raising an eyebrow and speaking with a hint of amusement.

He didn't turn around, and this feeling of being separated by a layer was very comfortable.

The section about teachers visiting students' homes, the section about students' mothers... Jiang Yi deeply felt the charm of certain things.

"It's not impossible!"

Nan Shuishui chuckled lightly, easily accepting Jiang Yi's unspoken message, and her shoulder-massaging gesture became even bolder.

"Dragon City is mostly destroyed. In recent years, I'm afraid not many caravans will dare to come here. The Earth Dragon Gate wants to move to Shrek City!"

The destruction of her property is a minor matter; what worries Nan Shui Shui more is the possibility of retaliation from the Holy Spirit Church.

Staying in Dragon City is not safe. There are very few people on the entire mainland who are not afraid of the Holy Spirit Cult, and my daughter is also at Shrek.

However, Shrek City is dominated by too many powerful forces, and without support, it would be difficult for an outsider like Earth Dragon Gate to gain a foothold.

"Shrek City has always upheld the open and inclusive spirit of the Sea God, welcoming everyone! Master Nanmen need not worry."

Jiang Yi said in a very serious tone.

Nan Shuishui: ...

She rolled her eyes in slight embarrassment, knowing he was just pretending.

"What I mean is... Your Excellency, could you possibly offer some assistance in the future? The Earth Dragon Gate is willing to follow Your Excellency's lead!"

Nan Shuishui's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she leaned down and whispered in Jiang Gezhu's ear, her wrist slowly getting submerged in water.

"Including me..."

She bit her lip, her eyes sparkling.

The water rippled gently as the South Gate Master displayed the talent of the Rouge Dragon Martial Soul, his clean little hands gradually becoming more skilled.

"Master Nan, isn't this inappropriate? Qiuqiu and I are classmates..."

Jiang Dagezhu gasped, turned his head, and met Nan Shuishui's beautiful, watery eyes.

"Lord, you weren't so reserved when you came to take the treasure from the Earth Dragon Gate last time!"

Nan Shuishui said meaningfully.

Now that she had made the decision, she was going all in. After all, he was just her daughter's classmate and future son-in-law.

"I don't know... um!"

Jiang Yi was about to decline three times, but to his surprise, the old ladies disregarded martial ethics and jumped directly into the bathtub.

With a loud thud!

Water overflowed instantly.

Nanmen Zhu sank into the water, leaving Jiang Ge Zhu alone leaning against the barrel, contemplating the origin of the universe and the philosophy of life.

Oh dear, you've really put me in a difficult position! How can I face Qiuqiu like this? I'm such a bad father!

Glug! Glug—!

……

Because of Nan Shuishui's warm hospitality and the relocation of Dilongmen, Jiang Yi had no choice but to stay in Longcheng for a few more days.

Dilongmen, a secluded courtyard.

"Jiang Yi, have some of this! This snow plum is a specialty of our Dragon City! It's specially supplied to the Heavenly Soul Royal Family!"

Nan Qiuqiu picked up a plum and diligently fed it to Jiang Yi.

These days, she was overjoyed to learn of her mother's decision to move the Dragon Gate to Shrek City.

"Qiuqiu, slow down! Dad... I can't finish eating all this!"

Jiang Yi shook his head helplessly, patted Nan Qiuqiu's little head, and put on a gentle, fatherly smile.

This little girl is so filial...

However, when I think about it this way, it seems I already have two daughters under my name, although neither of them are my biological children.

Jiang Qiuqiu? Jiang Fozi?

Chapter 269 Fatherly Love as Solid as a Mountain? The Legendary Investigator Returns!

"Dominate? What dominate?"

Nan Qiuqiu tilted her head and looked at Grand Master Jiang with a puzzled expression.

Was this a slip of the tongue?

Jiang Yi did not answer, but just kept eating the plums his daughter had given him, while Nan Qiuqiu quickly forgot about it.

Domination and such are unimportant...

"This is delicious too! And this one too!"

Nan Qiuqiu was having a great time feeding the baby. The two of them, each with their own thoughts, actually seemed like a happy family.

A moment later.

When Master Nanmen returned after a busy day, he was taken aback when he saw the two people in the hall, and then coughed.

"Ahem, Qiuqiu, you mustn't be rude! How can you address an elder by their first name?"

Nan Shuishui stepped forward and pulled Nan Qiuqiu down from Jiang Yi's lap. She was really disrespectful and had no manners.

Jiang Yi is not a name a little girl like you can use. You can't call him Dad, but you can call him Pavilion Master?

Nan Shuishui secretly glared at her daughter.

Nan Qiuqiu: ...

I'm speechless, Mom! Your attitude has changed way too quickly these past few days.

"Mom~"

Nan Qiuqiu pouted and rolled her eyes at her mother.

She and Jiang Yi were classmates before, right? And Jiang Yi himself agreed not to let her call him "Lord".

"Sect Leader, you're too kind! Qiuqiu is my junior, so let's just address each other as such..."

Jiang Yi chuckled softly and winked at Nan Shuishui.

This is easy to handle. He has experience. Qiuqiu calls me Dad, and you call me Dad too. That way, the generations will be complete.

You can do it the other way around. I'll call Qiuqiu "Mom," and you can call her "Mom" too. It's the same thing.

"..."

Nan Shuishui fell silent for a moment, but did not dwell on the issue any further.

Their private, shady dealings couldn't be made public, and she didn't expect to be able to get a permanent position with him.

"Most of the family's assets in Longcheng have been sold off. Although there was some loss, the prices were still acceptable..."

"There are quite a few rare metals in the warehouse. Please take a look; consider it a token of gratitude from the Earth Dragon Gate to the Pavilion Master."

Nan Shui Shui took out a list from her sleeve and handed it to him, then spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"We can go back tomorrow."

She looked directly at Jiang Yi, a gentle ripple appearing in her eyes. She said, "We."

There's no turning back now that the palace has been opened; she'll have to rely on the Lord for the rest of her life.

"Then thank you very much, Sect Leader Nan!"

Jiang Yi understood, smiled, and accepted the gift from Nan Shuishui.

Like the Demon Emperor's mother, Shui Shui's mother is also considerate. Even though she knows it's intentional flattery, it still makes her feel comfortable.

"Finally, we can go back! Mom, when we get there, I'll take you to Shrek Square to see the statues of the original Seven Devils..."

Nan Qiuqiu didn't notice the exchange of glances between the two, as she was lost in her daydreams about the sect moving to Shrek City.

"I think you've probably forgotten you even have a mother like me!"

Nan Shuishui gently hugged Nan Qiuqiu, flicked her nose with her hand, and teased her with a smile.

"No way! I'll definitely help you manage the sect then, Mom, and I won't let you work so hard."

Nan Qiuqiu pouted, but then suddenly became serious, looking at her tired mother with a pained expression.

These past few days, my mother's brows have always been furrowed with the exhaustion of overwork, and I've noticed it all along!

"Qiuqiu! You've grown up!"

Nan Shuishui smiled with relief, tightening her grip on her daughter's arms.

She suddenly felt that everything she had done these past few days had been worthwhile.

"Yes! Qiuqiu, you need to help out more! Also, Shuishui, you shouldn't keep your days and nights reversed all the time..."

Jiang Yi sighed and stepped forward, joining the mother and daughter's line without any sense of incongruity.

He winked at Nan Shuishui where Nan Qiuqiu couldn't see him.

How could a Contra be this tired after just a few days of travel?

Nan Shuishui: ...

When the South Gate Master saw Jiang Yi winking and making faces, he was immediately embarrassed, and certain indescribable memories welled up in his mind.

Okay, she admitted that she hadn't tasted meat for over a decade, and for a moment she broke her vow and indulged in a little bit of alcohol.

"It's all worth it for the sake of the sect!"

Nan Shuishui offered a somewhat hesitant explanation, while secretly glaring at Jiang.

It takes two to tango, and the same applies to the buttocks. Could she work day and night on her own?

Nan Qiuqiu: (⊙o⊙) ? ? ?

She looked up at her mother, then turned to look at Jiang Yi beside her, a strange feeling rising in her heart.

Why do I feel like I'm the outsider?

……

"Your feeling is right!"

Under the cover of night, inside the Earth Dragon Gate, Jiang Yi gently stroked Nan Shuishui's beautiful hair and sighed.

"It's hard to leave one's homeland! That's perfectly normal!"

"Could we not do it in the ancestral hall?"

Nan Shui Shui pursed her red lips, placed her hands on the offering table, and looked at the ancestral tablets, feeling both ashamed and indignant.

She only brought Jiang Yi to the ancestral hall to offer incense, as a way of acknowledging the ancestors, not for this kind of witnessing.

"Ahem, I couldn't help it."

Jiang Yi looked a little shy; he was just excited to see the sect leader's pitiful expression.

It's only human nature, it's only human nature!

After all, who wouldn't be moved to see a widow who raised her daughter alone, weeping while holding her ancestors' memorial tablets?
