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

"Moreover, with the development of the times, soul tools might one day be able to threaten even the gods..."

Jiang Yi smiled and patiently explained.

Then, he tilted his head back, precisely displaying his profile at a 45-degree angle, and his gaze suddenly turned sad.

"Perhaps I won't see that day, but Tianmeng, you will definitely see how long the lifespans of you soul beasts are..."

As he spoke, he looked down at Tianmeng, his face showing a hint of relief, a touch of gentleness, and a dash of sincerity.

"Sister Tianmeng, I don't want you to be bullied by others again after I'm gone."

These words were like a soft knife, piercing straight into Tianmeng's heart.

"Jiang Yi..."

Seeing his expression as if he were making his final arrangements, Tianmeng felt a lump in her throat, and the emotions she had been holding back for half a day finally broke down.

"Wow--!!!"

She hugged Jiang Yi's neck tightly, buried her face in his chest, and large tears streamed down her face.

"Waaaaah... No way! Even if I die, I won't let you leave...!"

The theory of lifespan is forever a weapon.

But she also understood in her heart that what Jiang Yi said might come true, since the lifespan of humans and soul beasts differed too much.

Perhaps one day, when they emerge from seclusion, Jiang Yi will be gone.

"I'll learn! I'll definitely learn!"

Tianmeng sobbed as she clenched her fists tightly, a light she had never seen before igniting in her golden eyes.

She couldn't hold Jiang Yi back; she had to help him become a god.

Only by becoming stronger can she keep Jiang Yi. If one day Jiang Yi is truly gone... then she will create a world where Jiang Yi exists.

"Okay, Sister Tianmeng. When I get back in a few days, I'll help you find some information about Soul Masters at Shrek Academy."

Jiang Yi held the little girl in his arms, looking at her spirited little face, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Get it!

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

Now, he doesn't need to supervise Tianmeng's studies; she should be able to study around the clock on her own.

After calming Tianmeng down, the two of them worked together to mine all the Ice Crystals in the cave.

Before the forging system was fully developed, this was the highest quality material.

After acquiring the last piece of Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, Jiang Yi quickly left the Earth Dragon Gate and sped away under the cover of night.

……

The sky was dimly lit.

In the room, a pair of beautiful eyes slowly opened and awoke.

"Qiuqiu!"

Nan Shuishui sat up abruptly, her eyes frantically searching her surroundings until she saw Nan Qiuqiu, at which point she breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you're alright!"

She checked her daughter's body and, seeing that she was just asleep, collapsed onto the bed with a sigh of relief.

"Phew—it seems that senior is a man of his word."

Nan Shuishui exhaled, a glint of light in her beautiful eyes. Recalling the events of last night, she was still shaken.

To a true powerhouse, she is far too weak right now; she couldn't even see the black-robed man's martial spirit.

"The ultimate ice."

She stretched out her slender fingers and gently stroked her fair neck, recalling the feeling at that time.

That bone-chilling cold was definitely of the extreme ice attribute; otherwise, her Rouge Dragon Martial Soul wouldn't have been so easily defeated.

"A Super Douluo who possesses the ultimate ice... I wonder which power he belongs to on the continent."

A hint of surprise flashed in Nan Shui's eyes, and then a few blushes appeared on her still charming face.

Only then did she realize that her chest felt cool, and that her bodice was tied backwards... but the soul tool necklace on her chest was still there.

"Ok?"

Nan Shuishui pulled the necklace from her chest, probed it with her spiritual power, and her expression gradually became strange.

All that remained inside the soul tool were a few bank checks; everything else had vanished.

Why are you only taking things that are worthless?

"I hope... this will all pass."

Nan Shuishui remained silent for a moment, then got up and straightened her disheveled clothes. Her face was calm, and she made no sound.

Faced with such a powerful figure, the Earth Dragon Gate was powerless, and the commotion only brought more trouble.

……

Time flies, and several more days have passed.

"Finally back."

Jiang Yi looked up at the city in front of him, a smile appearing on his face.

It has been more than half a month since he took leave from Shrek.

This trip was very fruitful.

Originally, he had planned to visit the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye on the way, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up.

Given Tang San's personality, he likely has a backup plan for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, otherwise no one would have entered for ten thousand years.

He plans to be better prepared next time and bring either Tang Wutong or Tang Ya with him when they go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Shrek City remains as bustling as ever.

On both sides of the street in front of the college, the shouts of vendors rose and fell, and the hot aroma filled the air.

"Nannan, this is your favorite grilled fish! I waited in line for ages, so eat a few bites while it's hot—"

Xu Sanshi, holding several skewers of grilled fish, hunched over, with a lewd and perverted look on his face, followed behind the two girls.

Not far behind him, a well-mannered young man followed at a distance, his appearance being more refined.

"Stop following me! I don't know you! Xu Sanshi!"

Jiang Nannan gave him a disgusted look and warned him in a cold tone.

This person is absolutely disgusting.

From the first year of her enrollment, she glanced at this person once, and he followed her like a leech ever since.

She would offer kind words of advice to ordinary suitors, but she felt truly disgusted by this kind of person.

What exactly does this guy like about her? Can't she just change?

"Nannan, you already know my name, and you still say we're not close~ Don't say hurtful things, Nannan baby~"

Xu Sanshi didn't take it to heart; instead, his maternal smile became even brighter.

He truly loved Jiang Nannan; for her sake, he even voluntarily postponed the awakening ceremony prepared by his family.

His perfect first time had to be given to his goddess.

(The original work sets up a conflict, taking the timeline of awakening at age fourteen, and adding some secondary settings.)

"Beibei, could you please take this little tagalong away from us? Please, I'm begging you..."

Tang Ya took Jiang Nannan's hand and looked at Bei Bei, who was following in the distance.

Because of the camaraderie they shared that night, her relationship with Jiang Nannan unexpectedly became even closer.

In the past few days, she has also felt Jiang Nannan's pain.

"Teacher Xiaoya!"

When Beibei saw Tang Ya take the initiative to talk to her, her eyes lit up, and even her originally haggard face became a little rosy.

He adjusted his collar, like a knight receiving a divine command, and strode toward Xu Sanshi, who was still buzzing.

"Hey—Beibei! What are you doing?!"

Xu Sanshi cried out in surprise and started tugging at Beibei.

"Let's go!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tang Ya grabbed Jiang Nannan's hand, preparing to slip away, but found that Jiang Nannan was stunned in place.

"What's wrong, Nan Nan?"

She followed Jiang Nannan's gaze and saw a familiar figure walking towards her from the other end of the street.

"Sister Nan Nan, I'm back."

Jiang Yi strode over, opened his arms, and hugged Jiang Nannan tightly.

"It's good that you're back."

Jiang Nannan smiled and hugged him back.

Jiang Yi has been gone for more than half a month and hasn't come back. It would be impossible for her not to worry.

At the heartwarming moment when the siblings reunited—

A hysterical roar exploded from the side, as shrill as a pig being slaughtered.

"Beibei, get out of my way!"

Xu Sanshi broke free and looked at the two people embracing in front of him with an excited expression. His eyes were bloodshot and he was panting heavily.

I didn't even hold your hand, and you've already hugged me? You son of a bitch!

"Damn it—"

He gritted his teeth, pointed at Jiang Yi, veins bulging, and looked like a volcano about to erupt.

"You little brat! Let go of my groping hands!!!"

Chapter 37 I'm going to take on two! Come at me all at once!

"???"

Jiang Yi was completely bewildered. What kind of monster was this?

However, upon seeing Beibei beside him, he immediately recognized the man in red as Xu Sanshi.

"Sister Nan, who is this person?"

Jiang Yi didn't let go of Jiang Nannan; instead, he tilted his head and naturally leaned into her arms.

The ultimate simp, ranked after the nice guy.

"I don't know him."

Jiang Nannan shook her head, not even glancing at Xu Sanshi.

She gently embraced Jiang Yi, completely ignoring the gazes around them, though a hint of pink quietly crept onto her cool and pretty face.

"Oh? So you're a simp."

Jiang Yi looked thoughtfully at Xu Sanshi with pity in his eyes.

"You son of a bitch—!"

Xu Sanshi was instantly enraged, especially when he saw Jiang Yi snuggling in the goddess's arms; his eyes were practically red with anger.

The key is—

Jiang Nannan did not refuse!

On what grounds?!

He had been pursuing him for three years without even touching his hand, and this kid stood up and kicked him.
