Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 45 Gu Yue: At least he's a man...

"Toothache? I told you to eat less sweets."

Yali bent down, gently pulled Na'er into her arms, tapped her forehead with her fingertip, and said in an annoyed tone.

You little glutton, now you know what it's like to suffer, right?
"Godmother, let's go back... I miss Godfather."

Na'er sniffed, raised her big, watery eyes, and looked pitifully at Yali.

She wanted to leave this heartbreaking place.

She followed the marks on her sister's body and traveled a long way to find her, only to witness this scene.

Sister...you've changed.

"Okay, I'll go back now."

Yali smiled, thinking it was just a child throwing a tantrum, and didn't think much of it.

……

Half an hour later, the two boarded the soul-guided train for their return journey.

The private rooms are fully equipped, comfortable, and quiet.

Na'er curled up on the soft bed, her breathing gradually becoming even, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.

The scenery outside the window rushed past, and light and shadow danced across her peaceful sleeping face.

"He's a good boy when he's asleep."

Yali gently tucked the blanket around her, sat on the edge of the bed, and gazed at Na'er with tender eyes.

The way this child looks when he's quiet is truly endearing.

However, beneath that peaceful sleeping face, another scene is unfolding.

In a dark mental space.

"Gu Yue! You bitch! Come out here!!!"

"What did you do to my sister?! Aaaaaah! I'm not finished with you!"

Na'er's spirit was inside, jumping up and down, punching and kicking the invisible barrier around her, wishing she could smash it to pieces with one punch.

The mental space rippled slightly, seemingly unable to bear the disturbance any longer, and a cool white figure slowly condensed and quietly emerged.

Gu Yue watched her other self jumping around, a clear hint of impatience flashing across her beautiful face.

"What are you crazy about?"

"I'm crazy? You know perfectly well what you've done!"

Na'er was so angry that her teeth itched. She glared fiercely at Gu Yue, like a silver-haired puppy whose beloved toy had been snatched away.

"Ok?"

Gu Yue looked at the exasperated Na'er, raised an eyebrow, and released her mental barrier. A surge of information instantly flooded into her mind.

She and Na'er originally shared a consciousness, but in order to prevent Na'er from influencing her will, Gu Yue habitually blocked Na'er.

The moment the shield was lifted, a cold smile appeared on Gu Yue's face.

"Then how did you end up in Donghai City?"

The other party did not act according to the agreement.

"Hmph! Is it wrong for me to come to Donghai City with my godmother?"

Na'er's momentum faltered instantly. She remained defiant, but subconsciously looked away, appearing somewhat guilty.

Say whatever you want. Just don't bother me anymore.

Gu Yue glanced at her indifferently, too lazy to argue with her, and her figure began to become ethereal as she prepared to leave.

She's still very busy.

"Wait! Don't go! We haven't explained my sister's situation yet!"

Na'er rushed forward to stop her, relentlessly pressing for answers.

In just half a year, she felt that her sister had left her. How could this be?

It was definitely Gu Yue who made the move!

"..."

Gu Yue stared at Na'er with an extremely strange look for a moment before slowly speaking.

"I didn't interfere. Their business is none of my concern. Besides, he's a man, after all... You should put away those outlandish ideas of yours."

She didn't know what went wrong in her mind when she lost her memory, which led to the creation of such an abstract persona as Na'er.

Is it in this river?

"I...I'm just worried that my sister will be deceived!"

For some reason, Na'er acted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling and raising her voice several decibels.

"What good men are there?!" "Hmph! That's for the best!"

Gu Yue gave her a meaningful look, and his figure faded away even faster.

Na'er was aware of her ulterior motives, but she had already intended to understand humans, which is why she readily accepted the bet.

however,
Just as Gu Yue was about to completely dissipate, a resolute glint flashed in Na'er's eyes.

She suddenly leaped forward and pounced on Gu Yue!

next moment,
Gu Yue's eyes widened, and her voice, filled with shame and indignation, reverberated throughout the entire mental space.

"What are you doing?! Get out of here!"

……

"what!"

Inside the train compartment, Na'er, who had been fast asleep, let out a short scream and suddenly sat up in bed.

She subconsciously licked her lips, a sly and triumphant glint flashing in her eyes.

hiss--!
However, the kick that guy delivered in a fit of rage was really vicious; he showed no mercy when hitting me.

"Na'er? What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Yali, who was standing by, immediately stepped forward with concern, pulled her into her arms, and gently patted her back.

"Godmother... I'm so scared, I dreamt that I'll never see you again..."

Na'er nestled into Ya Li's warm and soft embrace, her face instantly changing, her expression becoming sad and aggrieved, as if she had truly been terrified by the terrible dream.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your godmother is right here with you."

Yali comforted her softly with heartache, gently stroking her silver hair, a hint of doubt on her face.

"Little girl, what did you dream about? You're so scared."

Na'er sniffled and mumbled in a tearful voice.

“I dreamt… I dreamt that a very, very bad person took you away from me, my godmother…”

Yali: ? ? ?
……

On the other side, in Donghai City.

"Ah!"

Jiang Yi had just stepped into his home when he suddenly sneezed loudly without warning.

"Who is scolding me?"

He rubbed his nose, somewhat surprised.

Soul Master wouldn't be bothered by this; it's more likely that someone is secretly cursing him.

Although Douluo Continent is a bit abstract, it is still a fantasy world, and this kind of thing is quite mysterious.

However, after thinking it over, he realized that no one seemed to have any reason to criticize him.
"What the hell!"

Jiang Yi shook his head, then stopped thinking about it and quickly walked towards his room.

He was preparing to refine the thousand-year-old Soul-Nourishing Grass he had just bought.

Back in his room, Jiang Yi sat cross-legged on the bed and took out the jade box containing the Soul-Nourishing Grass from his storage soul tool.

Upon opening the box, a dark green, elegant herb lay quietly inside, its leaves supporting a snow-white bud about to bloom.

A refreshing fragrance of herbs and trees immediately filled the air. With just a light sniff, Jiang Yi felt invigorated, as if his soul had become lighter.

"The smell of money."

Jiang Yi couldn't help but smile, his tone tinged with a touch of emotion.

Fifteen million is a fortune that ordinary people would find difficult to accumulate even in ten lifetimes.

Jiang Yi flipped his hand, and a small jade blade appeared in his hand. He gently removed the flower bud from the Soul-Nourishing Grass.

Then, he lifted the snow-white flower bud, gently sliced ​​open the skin with the jade blade in his hand, and dripped the juice into his eyes.

Logically, refining the medicine into a pill would maximize the absorption of its medicinal power, but that's not possible now. Finding auxiliary ingredients also takes a lot of effort, and only a small portion of the medicinal power is lost, which is still acceptable.

"Um……"

The moment the juice entered my eyes, an indescribable coolness spread from my eyes and quickly reached every part of my body.

The feeling wasn't simply cold; it was a refreshing sensation that nourished the soul, so wonderful that it almost made one's soul tremble, causing him to let out a groan.

Jiang Yi circulated his cultivation technique, a purple light shining in his eyes as he slowly absorbed the medicinal power of the Thousand-Year Soul-Nourishing Grass.

He naturally knew all of the Tang Sect's major martial arts techniques, and even the complete versions personally taught by Tang San.

Tang San dared to send Jiang Yi to be an undercover agent because he was absolutely certain that Jiang Yi would not betray him.

During that period, aside from the emotional value, the temptations were overwhelming.
