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

Jiang's mother smiled, her gaze sweeping over Tang Ya for a moment, her eyes growing more and more satisfied with her.

When Tang Daya and Xiao Yi came back together, their close relationship was immediately apparent to her, a woman with experience like herself.

Although Jiang Yi was only a distant cousin in their family, she had always treated him as her own child over the years.

If they weren't Soul Masters, they would both be old enough to get married.

"We're both fine, Auntie, don't worry! In a few years, Nan Nan and I will both be entering the inner courtyard."

Jiang Yi picked up a freshly fried small fish, put it in his mouth, and smiled softly at his mother.

"I can rest assured that."

Jiang's mother smiled with relief.

She was an ordinary person who had only heard the old men at the village entrance talk about Shrek and knew that the place was amazing.

After graduating, the siblings should be able to get good jobs at the city lord's mansion.

"I want some too."

Beside it, a large pink tabby cat peeked out from under the stove, its face covered in dust and dirt.

But her large, bright pinkish-blue eyes were fixed on the fried dried fish in Jiang Yi's hand.

"Open your mouth!"

Jiang Yi picked up a piece and brought it to the little princess's lips.

She behaved well today. It was her first time here, and she didn't act like a spoiled princess. She even helped start the fire, which deserves a reward.

Of course, it's also possible that the young lady was seeing an earthen stove for the first time and became interested, wanting to try it out.

"Mmm—delicious."

Tang Wutong skillfully caught the dried fish in her mouth, her little face full of enjoyment.

For some reason, even though they were all ordinary foods, the food Jiang Yi fed her tasted different.

"Little Tang, add some more fire."

At this moment, Jiang's mother suddenly spoke.

Tang Wutong immediately nodded, squatted back down at the entrance of the stove, added some firewood, and picked up a bamboo tube to blow wildly into it.

This thing is quite interesting; it flares up with just a breath, and she always feels a sense of accomplishment watching the flames burn brightly.

She blew harder and harder, and soon a thick plume of smoke billowed out.

"Cough, cough—"

She coughed violently twice, looking disheveled and almost choking on her tears, but at least her anger was flaring up.

"I am a genius."

Tang Wutong stood with her hands on her hips, watching the flames rise in the stove, her little face filled with pride and a smile.

In just a few minutes, she invented the Tang's method of blowing from the middle, the side, and even the method of not blowing, all of which were remarkably effective.

"Um, what are you doing?"

Tang Wutong suddenly turned her head and glared fiercely at Jiang Yi.

Why is this person touching her face?

"You have dust on your face, let me wipe it off for you."

Jiang Yi blinked, his face serious, and then made a few more strokes on her cheeks.

Tang Wutong looked at him suspiciously.

Is he really that kind?

However, the next moment, Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Hmm? Something's fishy!

Tang Wutong immediately took out a small mirror and saw a custom-made Down syndrome tabby cat.

"Jiang Yi——!"

Enraged, Tang Wutong raised her fire poker and swung it down at Jiang Yi.

I'm going to fight you to the death!!!

The atmosphere in the kitchen instantly became cheerful.

……

As the sun completely set, using the last rays of its setting sun, the dish was finally served.

I'll bite you to death! I'll bite you to death!

Tang Wutong sat next to Jiang's mother, holding a bowl, humming and glancing at Jiang Yi intermittently.

How dare you tease me!

Jiang Yi, you've already chosen your own path to death!

"Little Tang, eat more! That way you can grow taller, and then we'll settle the score with Xiao Yi."

Jiang's mother smiled and kept putting food on her plate.

Looking at the large table of children in front of her, she felt a joy she hadn't felt in a long time.

As I get older, I enjoy lively atmospheres.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Tang Wutong withdrew her gaze, looked at Jiang's mother, and her expression instantly changed, revealing a sweet smile.

This unconditional gentleness reminded her of her mother, who often said the same thing in the divine realm.

She ate her rice, looking at the bowl full of food, and suddenly felt a little sad.

She misses her mother.

"Auntie, I've settled on a place to stay in Shrek City. Why don't you come back with us this time?"

Jiang Yi sat between Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya, looking at Jiang's mother with a serious tone.

He only just remembered it himself.

Shrek Academy has so many enemies; it's impossible to guarantee that Jiang's mother won't be caught in the crossfire because of her.

He wouldn't wait for his enemies to come knocking on his door like in the novels.

Given his status as a disciple of Moon, acquiring a piece of land in Shrek City wouldn't be difficult; even the city lord, Shixing, would likely give him face.

"Isn't this too troublesome?"

Jiang's mother shook her head.

Shrek City was supposed to be a big city, and it was already difficult enough for the two children to live alone; she didn't want to cause them any more trouble.

"Don't worry, Auntie! I've already made arrangements! If you don't go, the rent won't be refunded."

Jiang Yi advised again.

"Besides, you can take care of Sister Nan Nan over there. We'll come back together when the holidays come..."

"Yes, Mom, please come."

Jiang Nannan glanced at Jiang Yi, thought for a moment, and then agreed.

Xiao Yi has become the sect leader's disciple, and we really need to consider this issue. She and her mother cannot become a weakness.

"All right!"

After hesitating for a long time, Jiang's mother finally nodded.

"By the way, Auntie, is Old Zhang's beard from next door better yet?"

Jiang Yi chuckled and changed the subject, chatting casually with his mother, gradually creating a warm atmosphere.

Dinner seemed unusually long.

……

After dinner, before Jiang Yi could make a move, Jiang Nannan pulled Tang Ya to her room and they began to whisper to each other.

On the roof of the small courtyard, a small figure sat, resting his chin on his hands, gazing up at the starry sky.

"Dad, Mom..."

Tang Wutong murmured softly.

Seeing Jiang Yi and the others today reminded her of her life in the God Realm, and of her parents.

She's been in Douluo Continent for several years now, and she doesn't know how things are in the God Realm. Will her mother be angry with her?

For a moment, she was overwhelmed with thoughts.

"Missing home? Then why don't you go home during your vacation?"

Jiang Yi sat down next to her, took out several strings of candied hawthorns from somewhere, and handed them to Tang Wutong.

"We can't go back."

Tang Wutong glanced at him, feeling down, and did not take the candied hawthorn.

According to my eldest and second uncles, the area outside Douluo Continent is currently experiencing spatial-temporal turbulence, and it probably won't recover in the short term.

"At least you can still go back. My parents passed away when I was three years old..."

Jiang Yi chewed on a candied hawthorn and began to tell his story, his face showing a hint of melancholy, half-truth and half-joking.

He can never go back, whether in this life or the previous one.

"you……"

Tang Wutong looked at Jiang Yi, and her own worries were stirred up as well.

She snatched the candied hawthorn from Jiang Yi's hand and took a bite, but as she chewed, she suddenly felt a little soft-hearted.

Jiang Yi's expression didn't seem like an act; it was genuine loneliness from the bottom of his heart.

However, the next moment, Tang Wutong withdrew her sympathy.

Suddenly, Jiang Yi turned his head, reached out his paw and patted her head, revealing a smug smile.

"Didn't you want me to be the eldest brother? I agree, how about it?"

"Get lost! Who wants to acknowledge you as their big brother? Don't talk nonsense!"

Tang Wutong slapped his hand away and rolled her eyes in annoyance.

According to seniority, I should be your great-great-great-grandmother, and you still want to be my brother?

"I heard it from someone else. Didn't you say in the Soul Arena last time... that I won and you'd acknowledge me as your elder brother?"

Jiang Yi blinked, looking on with a sigh.

"You're not just talking nonsense, are you?"

"..."

Tang Wutong was speechless, but her heart had been dealt a devastating blow.

Damn it, there's a traitor among us!

Xiao Xiao, or Yu Tong? I've treated you both very well!

Just as she was figuring out how to escape, Jiang Yi suddenly moved closer to her and grabbed her small hand.

"Did you feel it?"

Chapter 76: A Gift of Immortal Herbs! Jiang Nannan's Heart Flutters!

"Feel what?"

Tang Wutong shrank her neck.

A warmth emanated from her hand, a sensation that seemed to awaken some kind of memory within her, making her feel somewhat uneasy.

It felt like a dream.
