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

Chapter 81 Hold me tight, don't let go
"Huh? What did I do last night?" Qian Renxue blinked her innocent big eyes, tilted her head and looked at Jiang Nian in confusion.

His sincere demeanor made him wonder if he was talking in his sleep.

"It's okay, maybe I'm overthinking it."

Jiang Nian lowered his head and ate his breakfast silently, putting his mind at ease.

Then, he felt his toes being stepped on.

Qian Renxue turned her head away, pretending to be nonchalant.

Bare feet clad in white socks stomped around, seemingly aimless.

Jiang Nian glanced at it, somewhat reluctant to look away.

Go ahead and step on it.

Next time, I'll go up the mountain and into the forest to collect some mushrooms.

five minutes later.

Jiang Nian and his group left the inn, preparing to head to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Since the town wasn't too far from the outskirts, they didn't take a horse-drawn carriage.

Ye Wanqing held Ye Lingling's small hand and followed behind the two of them.

They were also curious about Xiaoxue's identity, as she had such a close relationship with His Highness the Holy Son.

The mother and daughter listened intently from behind, without saying a word.

"Xiaoxue, are you sure you've told your grandfather?"

"Of course! Didn't I tell you a long time ago?"

"That's it..."

"Yes, yes, so don't worry about me... Also, since I'm already here, I'll reluctantly stay by your side. If you encounter any danger, I can protect you."

Seeing her so confident, Jiang Nian no longer needed to worry.

Ye Wanqing, standing behind her, was startled and stared at Qian Renxue's back for a long time.

Is Little Snow protecting His Highness the Holy Prince?

Could it be that her cultivation level is higher than Jiang Nian's?

Ye Wanqing gasped, slowly suppressing her curiosity.

···
Enter the Star Dou Great Forest.

Jiang Nian plans to find her a Plum Crystal Beast that is about 30,000 years old.

Nine-Heart Begonia is, after all, a healing-type martial soul, and soul beasts with healing abilities make up a very small percentage of the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

Emerald swans are actually the best, but finding one that is alone is extremely difficult.

And you also have to consider whether you can afford to offend them.

The Crystal Beast likes to eat a plant called Ice Crystal Grass, so once you find the location of the Ice Crystal Grass, you've basically succeeded.

"Little Bai, it's up to you now."

Raising rats for a thousand days, using rats for only one moment.

Finding rare and exotic plants is best left to professionals.

"Squeak!"

Little White landed on the ground, sniffed around, and then its body slowly grew larger.

"Come on, let's get on."

Jiang Nian pulled Qian Renxue by the wrist and sat on its back, with the Ye family mother and daughter following closely behind.

This is probably the first time they've ever ridden a mouse.

“It’s been almost ten thousand years…” Ye Wanqing reached out and stroked Xiaobai’s fur, and couldn’t help but feel surprised.

This soul beast is so human-like.

Qian Renxue sat in front of Jiang Nian and couldn't help but turn her head to look at him.

Then he shifted his bottom backward, rolled his eyes, and lay down on his back.

"Xiaoxue?"

"Hmm... I didn't sleep well last night, can I borrow this room for a bit?" The little golden retriever yawned dramatically and lay quietly in his arms.

With his eyes half-closed, he seemed genuinely sleepy.

Jiang Nian looked down at her twice, then gently placed his palm on her head, his heart beating a little faster.

In any case, in this life I am still just Xiao Chunan, how could I resist such temptation?
Every breath you take is filled with the fragrance emanating from Qian Renxue.

"Mmm~" The little golden retriever curled up the corners of his mouth, rubbed his head against his chest, found a comfortable position, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Hearing that pounding heartbeat, I couldn't help but feel happy. I thought he didn't have one...
So, it can still jump after all.

"Xiao Jiang, give me your left hand." Qian Renxue grumbled, not asking for a suggestion, but giving an order.

After saying that, she casually took Jiang Nian's wrist and placed it next to her lower abdomen.

"Hold on tight, or I'll kick you down."

"it is good···"

······
After traveling for an hour.

Xiao Bai finally found a patch of ice crystal grass covering several acres, thanks to his unique talent. Although there were no soul beasts around, he could just wait for them to come to him.

"Get up, we've arrived." Jiang Nian poked Qian Renxue's delicate skin, which felt soft and smooth to the touch.

"Hmm~ No."

The little golden retriever pouted and, instead of getting up, even wrapped its arms around his waist.

Can this be tolerated?
If we stay here like this...

He was afraid that even ten diapers a day wouldn't be enough for him.

Jiang Nian tickled Qian Renxue's armpits, and the girl quickly got up.

He glared at her with a deep look in his eyes and tidied his hair with both hands.

"Don't scratch me next time."

"Oh."

Jiang Nian jumped off Xiao Bai's back and caught Qian Renxue in the process.

The hardworking and meritorious mouse could finally shrink, and then it darted into the bag he always carried, peeking out its head.

“This place is actually quite beautiful.” Qian Renxue looked around, her eyes flashing with an unusual light.

Of course, these beautiful views are only truly enhanced when Jiang Nian is with them.

It's not very interesting to appreciate something if you're the only one doing it.

"I'll set up the tent first, and we'll stay here for the next few days."

Jiang Nian squatted down, found a clean spot, and was about to take the tent out of his storage soul tool.

At this moment, Ye Wanqing stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, let me do this kind of rough work."

Qian Renxue frowned slightly upon seeing this and quickly stepped forward: "Ahem... Madam Ye, let us do it."

"Take Lingling and go check out the surroundings. I'd like to learn some knowledge about this from Xiao Jiang."

Ye Wanqing smiled gently, understanding her thoughts.

It seems that His Highness's childhood sweetheart is quite the jealous one.

"Ok."

Ye Wanqing didn't disturb their sweet time, and instead took Ye Lingling to explore the surrounding area on her own.

···
"Xiao Jiang, what's this thing for?"

"It's no use."

"Xiao Jiang, I can't find the stent!"

"It's in your hands."

"Xiao Jiang..."

In just a few minutes, Jiang Nian's patience was slowly exhausted. He took back the items from Qian Renxue and prepared to give a demonstration himself.

Soon, after he had set up the tent...

The little golden retriever nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite, and prepared to try it out.

Although it took a long time to set up, it was finally done.

"Xiao Jiang, am I a genius? I can learn anything in no time!"

"Yes, Xiaoxue is the best."

"That is!"

Qianren Xuemei admired her masterpiece with great delight, liking it more and more the more she looked at it.

If she had sneaked out, she would have learned how to assemble a tent, and wouldn't have had to sleep on the cold stone slabs.

"Xiao Jiang, can you teach me how to prepare the internal organs of the soft-boned rabbit?"

"I can cook, but disposing of corpses..."

Jiang Nian stared at her eyes in confusion, not understanding why the little golden retriever had changed so much in just a few days.

The Spirit Hall's little princess is doing this kind of work?
Upon returning, Qian Daoliu struck himself with a bamboo pole...
