The Strongest All-Round Support in Douluo Continent

"Waaah, Xiao Fan, I thought I'd never see you again." Hu Liena sobbed uncontrollably, looking as heartbroken as could be.

"Nana, I'm so sorry you had to go through all this." Duan Yufan said gently, holding Hu Liena tightly in his arms.

"I'm not wronged. After seeing you, I'm not wronged at all," Hu Liena said, her voice choked with tears.

"Nana, I'm fine, sweetie, don't cry. If you keep crying, you won't be a fox anymore, you'll turn into a little kitten," Duan Yufan comforted her, gently wiping away Hu Liena's tears.

"Mmm," Hu Liena responded softly, stopping her tears.

"Nana, it's all my fault. I should have been content with you, but in the end I ended up with Xue'er, which even caused a backlash from my martial soul, making you worry and fear. I promise that this kind of thing will never happen again." Duan Yufan hugged Hu Liena quietly and said with some guilt.

“It’s not your fault, none of you are at fault. Nobody knew this would happen. But you promise that you won’t do it with anyone else but us, or else I’ll tell the teacher and break your legs,” Hu Liena said understandingly.

"Yes, I am so lucky to have met you all and to be with you. It is a blessing I have accumulated over three lifetimes. How could I dare to look for anyone else?" Duan Yufan said affectionately.

“Yes, I believe you,” Hu Liena said firmly.

"Nana, stay with me quietly for a while. I feel a little sleepy after waking up," Duan Yufan said softly.

Unable to tell Hu Liena about Bibi Dong for the time being, and given Bibi Dong's strong desire to know, Duan Yufan decided to tell them at a more appropriate time later.

Hu Liena had been worried about Duan Yufan's condition and hadn't slept well at night, so she was able to sleep soundly and peacefully next to him.

Hu Liena slept until 6 p.m. before slowly waking up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Duan Yufan beside her and realized that it wasn't a dream.

While Duan Yufan was still fast asleep, Hu Liena tiptoed out of the room and went to the kitchen to prepare food for him. She even carefully cooked a bowl of porridge, knowing that Duan Yufan had been asleep for so long and there wasn't much food available.

About half an hour later, Hu Liena finished cooking and brought the food to Duan Yufan's room. Duan Yufan had already woken up shortly after Hu Liena left. When Hu Liena entered the room, Duan Yufan was sitting on the sofa.

"Xiao Fan, you're awake. I just made you some porridge, come and eat," Hu Liena said, placing the porridge on the table in a very considerate manner.

"Yes, it's here, Nana, you're so kind." Duan Yufan praised as he looked at the delicious-looking dishes.

"Hehe, eat up," Hu Liena said happily.

After finishing their meal, Duan Yufan and Hu Liena sat together in the courtyard, admiring the night sky.

"It's been so long since I've seen such a beautiful night sky. The stars are still so bright and pure," Duan Yufan exclaimed.

"Yes, I also think the night sky is more beautiful tonight than usual," Hu Liena said softly, leaning on Duan Yufan's shoulder, feeling more at ease than ever before.

Duan Yufan then consulted Hu Liena about the Spirit Hall's investigation plan.

Hu Liena explained the results of the past five months to Duan Yufan in detail.

The two had been talking for nearly two hours before Hu Liena finally finished recounting the details of the investigation operation.

"Nana, while I was unconscious, did Xue'er write to inquire about my condition?" Duan Yufan finally asked Qian Renxue.

"Yes, we also told her that your martial soul problem has been resolved, but you are still in a coma and it will take several months to wake up."

“Xiao Fan, I sensed a deep sense of self-reproach in the letter. Now that you’re awake, write to her and tell her about it,” Hu Liena said softly.

"Well, I'll tell her tomorrow, Nana. You won't blame me, will you? We've only been together for a short time, and you've already started seeing someone else." Duan Yufan said guiltily.

"Xiao Fan, I've said before that I can't have someone as outstanding as you without my consent. Besides, she's a good person and a perfect match for you. But I'll always be your first woman, and that makes me happy." Hu Liena said without any hint of reproach.

"Nana, you're so wonderful. I don't know how to make it up to you," Duan Yufan said affectionately, kissing Hu Liena's forehead.

"Xiao Fan, it's late and getting chilly. Let's go inside," Hu Liena said shyly.

"it is good."

The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, Duan Yufan and Hu Liena walked out of the room hand in hand and went to the Papal Palace side by side.

"Disciples greet Master," the two said to Bibi Dong.

"Hmm, Nana, you must be happy now, your Xiao Fan is awake, your face is beaming with joy." Bibi Dong came up to the two of them and teased Hu Liena first.

Hu Liena couldn't help but lower her head in embarrassment, while Bibi Dong looked at Duan Yufan with a resentful gaze that she herself didn't realize.

"Teacher, please stop teasing Nana. She's so shy she'd want to disappear into a crack," Duan Yufan said, trying to smooth things over.

"Alright, go wherever you want to go. Don't get in my way. I still have matters to attend to," Bibi Dong said with a helpless yet somewhat aloof air.

"Alright, let's go have some fun then. We'll also see how Xie Yue and Yan are doing."

After saying that, Duan Yufan pulled Hu Liena out of the Papal Palace and walked outside.

Not long after, Duan Yufan sent a letter to Qian Renxue, who was far away in Tiandou City.

In less than a day, Duan Yufan's letter had already appeared in the hands of the Serpent Spear Douluo, who was in charge of receiving letters from the Spirit Hall of Spirit City.

When she received the letter, it was already dark, so Qian Renxue was in the Crown Prince's residence.

"Young Miss, a letter has arrived. It's from the Spirit Hall, from His Highness the Holy Son. Please take a look."

Upon receiving the letter, Serpent Spear Douluo saw the signature on the envelope and hurriedly ran into the main hall of the Crown Prince's residence, speaking to Qian Renxue, who was looking somewhat melancholy.

Upon hearing Serpent Spear Douluo's words, Qian Renxue's hand holding the teacup trembled and dropped it to the ground.

He quickly went to Serpent Spear Douluo's side, took the envelope, and returned to the room.

Qian Renxue excitedly and slowly opened the envelope. The first line she saw was Duan Yufan's words about his dear Xue'er, which instantly brought tears to her eyes.

Qian Renxue then read the entire letter word by word. Duan Yufan told Qian Renxue that he was already better and that she shouldn't blame herself, etc.

"That's good, that's good. I can finally relax now. But I'm a jinx to my husbands, so let her stay with you."

Qian Renxue gently placed the letter in an envelope and carefully put it away. She said with some reluctance that she did not plan to go back to the Spirit Hall to visit Duan Yufan, fearing that she would not be able to resist and cause Duan Yufan's spirit to suffer a backlash.

One month later...

"Nana, I'm going to Tiandou City to talk to Xue'er and get some advice. I'm worried something might have happened to her. It's been a month and she hasn't replied to any messages. I'm a little worried."

That morning, after getting up, Duan Yufan told Hu Liena his thoughts.

"Xiao Fan, you go ahead. He's probably still blaming himself for what happened to you and doesn't dare to come looking for you. But is it really true that your martial spirit won't backfire? Maybe I should go with him."

Hu Liena asked again, uncertainly, that Duan Yufan had told her the specific reason for his martial soul backlash the day after he woke up.

"No, don't worry, Nana. There really won't be any backlash. Besides, I'll be back soon. Including travel time, it'll be at most five days. You can stay here and assist the teacher. The Spirit Hall has been quite busy lately."

Duan Yufan assured Hu Liena that he planned to go and return quickly.

"Alright then, go and come back quickly," Hu Liena said understandingly.

"Ah."

Duan Yufan then went to Tiandou City alone.

During this month, Duan Yufan did not pester Bibi Dong. After all, there was plenty of time and no need to rush. Moreover, Bibi Dong was currently preparing for the Nine Trials of Rakshasa, busy with the affairs of the Spirit Hall during the day and refining the Rakshasa God's artifact, the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, at night.

After all, Bibi Dong's third test of the Rakshasa God Examination only had a three-year time limit, and because of Duan Yufan, Bibi Dong had already been delayed for half a year. So at this time, Duan Yufan wisely decided not to disturb Bibi Dong.

It took about a day to reach Tiandou City, arriving around nine in the morning.

After all, Duan Yufan was just traveling and had increased his movement speed, which was much faster than a carriage.

The Crown Prince's residence was easy to find in Tiandou City. Duan Yufan waited outside the residence until noon when Qian Renxue entered.

However, there were quite a few maids serving the Crown Prince in the Crown Prince's residence, so Duan Yufan couldn't just appear in the main hall. Therefore, he used his mental power to probe the locations of the Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo.

Upon discovering that the Serpent Spear Douluo was in a room, while the Porcupine Douluo was in the hall with Qian Renxue, Duan Yufan used teleportation to directly arrive at the Serpent Spear Douluo's room.

"Who!" The Serpent Spear Douluo sensed the air movement in his room. After all, he was a Title Douluo. If he couldn't detect it in a place he was familiar with, then that would be a bit fake.

"It's me, Elder Serpent Spear," Duan Yufan said immediately upon appearing in Serpent Spear Douluo's room.

"Oh, greetings, Your Highness, Holy Son. Your strength is truly unfathomable. You were able to come to my room so quietly." The Serpent Spear Douluo bowed slightly upon seeing Duan Yufan and then exclaimed in admiration.

"Not at all, just a small gain, and it was only because you, Elder, found out." Duan Yufan chuckled.

"Your Highness, you're here to see the young lady, right? I'll go get her," Serpent Spear Douluo said without further delay.

"Okay, just go and let Xue'er go to her room. I'll be there in a bit." Duan Yufan didn't know where Qian Renxue's room was, so he could only say this.

"Yes, Your Highness." Serpent Spear Douluo left his room to call Qian Renxue.

Upon entering the hall, Serpent Spear Douluo whispered something to Qian Renxue, who paused for a moment before returning to her room and locking the door.

"Xue'er!" After discovering her location, Duan Yufan immediately went to Qian Renxue's room.

Upon hearing the voice of the person she had longed for day and night, Qian Renxue tensed up and stiffened, shedding her disguise as Xue Qinghe and revealing her true appearance.

"Xiao Fan, are you alright? I..." Qian Renxue was about to speak nervously when Duan Yufan interrupted her.

Duan Yufan quickly came to Qian Renxue, picked her up, and kissed her, giving her no chance to react.

"Xue'er, have you been feeling guilty and depressed these past few months? It's not your fault," Duan Yufan said affectionately as he released Qian Renxue.

"But I almost harmed you, almost caused a terrible mistake, Xiao Fan. I'm afraid this will cause your martial spirit to backfire and hurt you again," Qian Renxue said with some disappointment.

“Silly girl, no one could have predicted this. And now that I know what happened, it only happens the first time. It won’t happen again. In fact, we’ve actually benefited from this misfortune. So don’t run away from it, and don’t make yourself sad,” Duan Yufan said gently, stroking Qian Renxue’s bangs.

"Really? You didn't come here just to comfort me because I'm unhappy, did you?" Qian Renxue asked hesitantly.

"Of course not, how about we try again?" Duan Yufan joked.

"Xiao Fan, let's forget it, I'm scared," Qian Renxue said, sounding uncertain.

"It's not up to you." Duan Yufan kissed Qian Renxue again in a very domineering manner.

"Um, Xiao Fan, stop, it won't work." Qian Renxue said nervously, but she couldn't resist for long and was eventually defeated.

After a dramatic encounter, it was already past 2 PM.

"See? I didn't lie to you. It's really okay now. This kind of problem won't happen again." Duan Yufan said gently to Qian Renxue, whose face was slightly flushed.

"Yes, I believe you, Xiao Fan. It's so good. I feel like I can be with you again," Qian Renxue said shyly.

“Silly girl, we’ve always been together. But Xue’er, these are extraordinary times. I plan to go back to Wuhun City, while you need to continue your mission. Don’t let all your efforts go to waste. We have a long time together, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I came here today because you didn’t reply to my messages. I knew you must be feeling down every day.”

Duan Yufan gently explained his purpose and then described the current situation of the Spirit Hall.

"Xiao Fan, I understand. I'm already very happy to hear your news. The current situation is indeed a bit difficult, but we're not in a hurry. You should focus on helping her at the Spirit Hall first," Qian Renxue said understandingly.

Afterwards, Qian Renxue stayed in the room and pretended to be unwell to decline her job of going to the palace to read the memorials.

The next morning, Duan Yufan bid farewell to Qian Renxue and returned to Wuhun City.

Although Qian Renxue was reluctant to part with him, she understood and did not try to persuade Duan Yufan to stay.

Duan Yufan only took three days to make his round trip, returning to the Spirit Hall on the morning of the fourth day, which surprised Hu Liena, who did not expect Duan Yufan to return so early.

"Xiao Fan, is she alright?" Hu Liena asked immediately upon seeing Duan Yufan.

"Yeah, it's alright now. If I hadn't gone, that silly girl would have blamed herself for ages," Duan Yufan replied.
