Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Heavenly Dao Umbrella, Seven Kills Annihilation

Chapter 27 Getting Beaten Up Alongside Qian Renxue

"Make me look good? Do I need you to make me look good?!"

Bibi Dong tightened her grip on her wrist, causing Qian Renxue to cough involuntarily.

Seeing this, Jiang Nian decided to take the beating herself instead.

"Teacher, Xiaoxue has always looked up to you as a role model and wants to prove herself to you all the time."

"so···"

When Bibi Dong saw him pleading for Qian Renxue, her anger immediately flared up.

"Are you going to tell me what you need?!"

"Jiang Nian, it seems I've been too neglectful of you lately."

After saying that, she kicked the guy in the butt with a little force.

boom!
Jiang Nian shot off like a cannonball, with Qian Renxue close behind.

Bang~
The little golden retriever crashed heavily onto him.

"Hmm? It doesn't hurt?"

Qian Renxue touched her body and instantly realized that her mother still cared about her, but she was still being stubborn.

Hmm! It must be...
"Xiao...Xiaoxue, get up quickly..."

"I feel like I'm kind of dead..."

Jiang Nian reached out her hand tremblingly, on the verge of tears.

Please, young lady, why are you sitting on me and refusing to get off?

Qian Renxue blushed and quickly stood up, covering her mouth.

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

"Xiao Jiang, are you alright?"

Jiang Nian's lips twitched. Did he look like he was alright?

So, is it the fleshy pad or myself?
The little golden retriever grabbed his arm, its fair face flushed red. At first, I really thought it was because its mother was being lenient.

It turns out that someone had taken the brunt of it all for her.

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

Jiang Nian gets beaten every time because of his own actions.

It must have been really tough on him...
"Whew, that was a really hard kick."

Jiang Nian felt a little uneasy, touched his butt, and looked back.

After resting and adjusting for a while, he walked down the steps with Qian Renxue's help.

"Xiaoxue, how many years did you say you absorbed soul rings?" Jiang Nian took the initiative to start the conversation, and then, seeing a glint of tears in the corner of her eyes, he subconsciously beckoned her with his index finger.

The little golden retriever was taken aback, seemingly not expecting him to do this. Its eyes darted away, and its eyelashes blinked wildly.

"Four...four thousand years."

Jiang Nian feigned surprise and exclaimed in admiration, his fingers inadvertently retracting: "As expected of Xiaoxue, there is probably no one on the entire continent who can surpass you in talent."

"Given time, you will surely become the youngest Title Douluo in the entire continent."

Hearing his praise, my previously disappointed and sad mood instantly brightened, and my previous dejection vanished in an instant.

"Hehe~ That's a must!"

Qian Renxue crossed her arms and proudly raised her neck: "Xiao Jiang, I will become the Pope!"

"And you are my right-hand man! Let's conquer the world together."

Jiang Nian shook his head, and the little golden retriever immediately became unhappy.

"What? You dare disagree?!"

She puffed out her cheeks and glared at Jiang Nian, as if to say, "You need to give me a reason!"

"I'm the man who's going to be the Pope, you're still a long way off."

Qian Renxue shook her head like a rattle-drum: "No! You can only be below me!"

Jiang Nian stroked his chin, pondering the feasibility of that statement.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that far ahead."

The little golden retriever pouted and silently gazed at the setting sun in the distance.

It seems I'm not so sad anymore.

She glanced at Jiang Nian, who was still deep in thought beside her. The setting sun shone on his handsome profile, and the easygoing look in his eyes was very comforting.

"How come I never realized this guy was so handsome before..."

The little golden retriever muttered to himself, then looked at his somewhat dirty face.

This was left behind when she stood up for herself earlier. After hesitating for a few seconds, she said in a spoiled tone, "Xiao Jiang! Turn around!"

"Hmm?" Jiang Nian turned his head in confusion, and then saw the little golden retriever holding a handkerchief and carefully wiping his face.

The little hands were still trembling.

She was clearly nervous, but she acted really well.

But did nobody really see it?
······
"Little New Year, this is the ruler that has been with you for two years, and this is the willow branch that has been with you for three months."

"And this is my new spiked club."

"You pick one."

Bibi Dong looked at Jiang Nian outside the door with a half-smile, and slowly walked up to him in her high heels.

She reached out and, as usual, pinched the little thing's chin.

"Don't blame the teacher. As the saying goes, a strict teacher produces outstanding students."

"Spare the rod and spoil the child."

"quickly."

Jiang Nian forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and silently turned away.

However, the punishment he had imagined did not begin, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Curious, Jiang Nian turned his head and found his head being embraced by a delicate hand.

"Xiao Nian, do you think the teacher is harsh?"

Bibi Dong's voice softened as she pulled him into her arms and gently stroked his small head.

Jiang Nian's mouth reached just to his lower abdomen, and he seemed to smell some kind of fishy odor.

And... what does this tone mean?
Could this be my last meal before I'm executed?

Jiang Nian's palms were sweating, but he forced himself to remain calm and said, "Teacher did all this for me, and I understand your good intentions."

"In the future, I will definitely repay my teacher."

Bibi Dong chuckled softly, lifted his chin, and stared intently into those eyes that shone like countless stars: "Really?"

Jiang Nian nodded seriously: "Yes! A teacher for a day is a father for life."

Bibi Dong smiled teasingly: "Then you should call me Mom."

Jiang Nian: "..."

After a few quiet seconds, Bibi Dong released Jiang Nian, her demeanor returning to its former cold and aloof state.

“I’m worried that you’ll go astray, especially since you’re young and not mature enough.”

"It's easy to be scammed or cheated."

"This world isn't as wonderful as you imagine..."

After saying that, a hint of weariness flashed in her eyes.

"Okay, please step back."

"I'm going to rest."

Seeing this, Jiang Nian quickly excused himself, knowing that if he stayed any longer, the boss would probably advance to the second stage.

Goodnight, teacher.

Soon.

Only Bibi Dong remained in the room, half-sitting on the bed, her emotions fluctuating wildly.

Autumn winds blew outside the window, and light snow fell softly.

After staring blankly for a few minutes, her gaze fell on the books on the desk that hadn't been opened for two or three months.

My thoughts drifted back to ten years ago, and my fingers involuntarily clenched.

If that incident hadn't happened, would I have ended up with this fate?

What exactly is the reason...?

Return to the house.

Jiang Nian looked up at the ceiling, thinking that he was a little surprised that he hadn't been beaten up today.

He was too lazy to guess what Bibi Dong was thinking, nor could he fathom it.

That hug just now almost scared me to death; I thought I was about to pass away.

He's only eight years old, and he's already under so much pressure.

It's comparable to the King of Pressure Resistance.

"I should try to limit Xiaoxue's visits in the future, otherwise my little body can't handle it..."
