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

"Hurry up! Don't let anyone find out..."

Nan Shuishui blushed and urged.

She knew perfectly well that she was merely a pastime for the Lord, and it was already a favor that she wasn't forced to hold her deceased husband's memorial tablet.

However, as long as I can secure a good future for my daughter, that's enough, but...

Nan Shuishui lay on the table, watching the incense burner rise, but what she thought of was her daughter's smiling face during the day.

Wouldn't it be a bit awkward if they both fell into the same trap? It's not uncommon in mainland China, but it's still incredibly embarrassing...

"Forget it, we'll talk about the future later, hmm—"

Nan Shuishui sighed softly, ceasing her thoughts, and bowed deeply to her ancestors.

Childhood memories flooded back, and she couldn't help but cry in the ancestral hall, kneeling on the ground.

That is something I can't let go of; my father's love is still there in front of me and behind me, warming my heart, yet weighing heavily on my body.

Father's love is like a mountain——!

Time, please slow down, don't let you shrink back to a smaller size for me anymore~ I would give anything to keep you here forever~

My strong-willed father, what can I do for you?

……

"Waaaaah, I was just passing by! Nana, please let me go! Please, I won't look again next time, meow."

On the roof beam of the ancestral hall, a dusty little yellow cat was caught red-handed by a dark-skinned girl in a corner.

“You’ve already guaranteed this many times before! Master Xixi…”

Nana glanced at the Meow Meow Monster expressionlessly. In her eyes, Xixi's credibility was comparable to that of Jiang Yi, who was always nagging.

"I need to report this to the boss!"

Seeing that she couldn't get away with being cute, Xixi had no choice but to straighten up, put on a serious face, and prepare to get down to business.

She's here to do something important.

The importance of the news that the Holy Spirit Cult is suspected of worshipping an extraterrestrial evil god in the far north is self-evident.

"Hmph—!"

The West Hall Master crossed her arms, her golden leopard ears trembling slightly on her head, revealing her inner confidence.

The boss will definitely let her cat off the hook~

Chapter 270 An Old Friend Returns to Shrek! Tang San's Confidence!

"Is it important?"

Nana glanced at her and confirmed.

"Mmmmm~"

Xixi nodded vigorously.

These words weren't just for Nana's ears; with both of them there, Jiang Yi, who was working downstairs, couldn't possibly not notice.

"Then go down!"

Nana nodded calmly, picked up Xixi, jumped down, and landed in front of the two who were still shaking their heads.

Nan Shui Shui: (⊙v⊙）！！！

Holy crap, how come there's someone here?

She subconsciously trembled, her aura surged, and she was about to summon her martial spirit, but Jiang Yi suppressed it the next moment.

"One of us!"

Jiang Yi patted Nan Shuishui on the shoulder, indicating that she could relax a little.

Nan Shuishui breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the two of them, her face slightly flushed, and she looked only a little older than Qiuqiu.

This inevitably reminded her of her daughter…

Nan Shui lowered her head awkwardly, remaining silent. The shame of being watched was almost overwhelming.

"Xixi, what's wrong?"

Jiang Yi looked up at Xixi, already too lazy to talk about this big fat cat.

This guy has a bit of a conceptual god-like feel to him, and sometimes he might accidentally overlook Sisi's existence.

She's already caught me several times, so I might as well stop hiding and settle the score with her someday.

Peeking isn't a good thing, kitty!

"Uh, this..."

Xi Xi blinked and looked at Nan Shui Shui beside her, her meaning clear.

She glanced at the Southern Gate Master again, a widowed woman whose peculiarities towards her boss had only intensified.

Her little brain instantly sprang to life, and a novel that fascinated her was gradually taking shape.

Let's call it "Picking Flowers at Dusk" (or "Morning Blossoms Plucked at Dusk"), meow~

"Then you can go ahead and get busy!"

On the other side, Nan Shuishui also sensibly pushed Jiang Yi away, took out her clothes and put them on, and then hurriedly ran away.

She didn't want to stay in this awkward situation for another second.

Jiang Yi lost interest after being interrupted, so he quickly got dressed and left the ancestral hall with Xixi.

Nana stayed behind to help the two clean up the water stains at the scene.

……

In another courtyard, an invisible spiritual barrier slowly unfolds.

"Tell me, what's wrong in the far north?"

Jiang Yi handed the brewed tea to Xixi, his eyes filled with curiosity.

He didn't find any trace of Xixi in the evil spirit master's camp, clearly because she had been drawn away by something else.

"It's the Holy Spirit Cult! Boss, I followed an evil spirit master and discovered a Holy Spirit Cult base in the far north."

With a serious expression, Xixi vividly recounted to Jiang Yi what she had seen in the underground cave.

"In that base, those evil spirit masters offered the creatures they captured as sacrifices to an extraterrestrial evil god..."

"Far North? Evil God?"

As Jiang Yi listened to Xi Xi's description, his brows furrowed more and more. Why did this evil god sound so much like the Abyss Saint?

Is this another one of Tang San's schemes?

He pondered for a moment.

Over the years, the trajectory of Douluo Continent has been almost entirely within his expectations. Why did something so strange happen as soon as the God Realm returned?

If the appearance of the Abyss Plane had nothing to do with Tang San, he would have eaten Tang Wutong's thunderbolt and Ning Rongrong's bread...

"Yes! That evil spirit master who performs shamanistic rituals is incredibly powerful. I dare not approach him, but I estimate he is on par with Elder Xuan."

"Boss, should we..."

Xi Xi looked at Jiang Yi, hesitant to speak, her eyes filled with worry, and she even stopped her usual habit of meowing.

If it really is an evil god, then this is a serious matter, and the whole continent will probably need to work together to deal with it.

"Well, don't make a fuss yet! I have my own way of dealing with it, don't worry! Even if it really is an evil god, I have a way to deal with it."

Jiang Yi pondered for a moment, then gently shook his head at Xixi.

If Tang San brought it here, then there's no need to worry. The God Realm has already returned, and the Abyss Saint King is doomed.

The problem is that it depends on when and how Tang San decides to kill...

As for what Tang San wanted to do, it was nothing more than seeking fame and fortune to satisfy the Sea God's vanity.

There's nothing to say about that!

Jiang Yi also planned to do this, but he wanted to use the war planned by the Sun and Moon to absorb the faith of the people on the mainland.

The only difference is that Tang San actively guided the battle, while Jiang Yi indulged it more, because this battle was unstoppable.

He could kill Xu Tianran, but he couldn't destroy the Sun and Moon system. Besides, it would be a thankless and difficult task, and Jiang Yi would never do it.

He didn't want to be a saint; at most, he would try his best to quell the war after it broke out, and incidentally reap some benefits from the faith of the common people.

"Uh-huh!"

Seeing Jiang Yi make the decision, Xi Xi stopped worrying. Her boss was the master of the Sea God Pavilion; what if he could communicate with the Sea God?

"By the way, don't write anything about what happened today, understand?"

Jiang Yi suddenly raised his hand and tapped Xixi's little head.

This silly cat is always trying to outwit him, and the key is that his writing is quite good, so he often makes it onto the bestseller lists in mainland China.

"Got it, meow! Boss, don't worry! I promise not a single word will be changed!"

Xixi blinked, covered her little head, and said with a grin.

"Not a single word changed?"

Jiang Yi glared at her. "You still want to leave it unchanged? I think you've got some nerve, Senior Xixi."

Looks like I'll have to go to the cat section...

He rolled up his sleeves and glared menacingly at the large, fat yellow cat opposite him.

"No! It's that I didn't write a single word, meow! I was wrong, boss! Please... don't pull my tail, ha—"

"We already have Häagen-Dazs! Great!"

"Waaaaah, meow—!"

A fierce struggle ensued, and Master Beibei faced sanctions.

……

A few days later, several old friends arrived in Shrek, thousands of miles away.

"Don't miss out! Dean Jiang's latest invention, Braised Basketball Chicken, is only two and a half bronze soul coins!"

"Butter bread! Butter bread!"

"Oh my god, grilled sausages! Two for three yuan, six yuan each! The Sea God's family secret recipe, even rabbits say they're delicious..."

The cries of vendors echoed along the street, and three women and one man mingled in the crowd, looking around at the street with sighs.

"I didn't expect Shrek City to be like this! If that miser Dean Flander saw this, he'd be very happy, wouldn't he?"

A woman with a long ponytail, holding the hand of the man beside her, looked around Shrek City with a sigh.

Before they ascended, Shrek Academy wasn't this big; in the blink of an eye, it had become one of the most prosperous cities on the continent.

"It definitely will!"

Tang San also sighed softly, a hint of reminiscence appearing in his majestic eyes.

Shrek Academy can be considered his starting point. Although he was poor, the memories he shared with Xiao Wu and the others are worth cherishing.

"By the way, Rongrong, did you tell Xiaoqi? We're coming to school to see her today!"

Xiao Wu suddenly turned to look at Ning Rongrong beside her, her face showing anticipation and a hint of nervousness.

She heard Rongrong say that Xiaoqi has grown up and has someone she likes, but she doesn't know what that person is like.

"I told you, but I wonder what that girl has gotten herself into this time?"

Ning Rongrong shrugged and took Zhu Zhuqing's arm beside her.

After not seeing each other for more than ten years, she still missed her two good sisters. However, due to certain illusions in the Valley of Love and Destiny.

Looking at Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, she had a strange feeling in her heart. Ahhh, one wrong step can lead to eternal regret.

I'm sorry, Xiao Wu, Zhu Qing!
