Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 883 A daughter is no longer at home once she grows up, Xuanbing City!
"Aren't you sure you want to stay a few more days? Time isn't actually that tight."

Jiang Ming held Ma Xiaotao's hand as they strolled along the streets of Tiandou City. Pedestrians hurried past on both sides, the streets were bustling with traffic, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares filled the air, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere.

Ma Xiaotao turned to look at Jiang Ming, released her grip, and wrapped her arms around his, letting him feel the softness of her embrace.

"No need. Father has already given me the phoenix hairpin that Mother gave me, which means he has officially acknowledged you as his son-in-law. The most important thing on this trip is already done. If I stay a few more days, he'll probably nag me about the wedding and having a baby."

Ma Xiaotao knew her father quite well.

The most important thing she felt about returning home was to let Jiang Ming meet her father and have him bless her and Jiang Ming.

Although she has a somewhat carefree and wild personality, she still hopes to receive the blessings of her closest relatives on such an important life event.

Now that their goal has been achieved, and even the father has taken out the phoenix hairpin that the mother left behind, it shows that he has truly accepted Jiang Ming.

In that case, this trip would be perfect for her.

Of course, under normal circumstances, she would naturally prefer to stay in Tiandou City for a few more days, or even ten days or half a month.

On the one hand, Ma Xiaotao was indeed struggling to withstand her father's pressure to have a child.

Ma Lingyun had already muttered to herself several times since she took the phoenix hairpin.

On the other hand, Zhang Lexuan had already told them about the plan.

After this trip, they need to return to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye for seclusion, so as not to fall too far behind Jiang Ming and have to wait for him to become gods.

She and Ling Luochen had agreed to Zhang Lexuan's suggestion to go into seclusion, so they couldn't waste too much time here.

After all, Jiang Ming's remaining assessments will be coming up in a year.

At that time, they will watch Jiang Ming become a god!

"Okay, it's up to you."

Jiang Ming still respected Ma Xiaotao's opinion on this matter.

"However, let's leave tomorrow. It's not good to leave today after just arriving yesterday."

Jiang Ming felt the softness of the gentle embrace and said softly.

"Ah."

Ma Xiaotao rested her head on Jiang Ming's shoulder, her long, fiery red hair cascading down his chest, a happy smile on her face.

There's really nothing worth visiting in Tian Dou City now. Ma Xiaotao has lived here since she was a child, and Jiang Ming had been here before, although he was looking for Sunset Forest, he had also taken a brief look at Tian Dou City.

All I can say is that he hasn't changed much since he first came to Tiandou City.

After strolling around for a while, the two went back.

On the way back, Jiang Ming also prepared his gift.

It would be unreasonable for a son-in-law to visit without bringing a gift.

When Jiang Ming talked with Ma Lingyun yesterday, he brought some rare and precious materials such as the Water of Life. However, when he saw that Ma Lingyun only had the cultivation of a Soul Saint, Jiang Ming had a sudden idea and prepared something else.

Soul-guided battle armor!

In Heaven Dou City, a Soul Saint's cultivation level isn't exactly weak, though. While the number of Soul Masters has increased due to the continent's development, Soul Saints are still considered strong in the conventional sense. But they're not exactly incredibly strong either.

Therefore, Jiang Ming planned to equip Ma Lingyun with a set of soul-guided battle armor to enhance his defensive capabilities.

The level is not very high, and the overall quality is between level seven and level eight soul tools. If it is higher, level nine soul tools are beyond Ma Lingyun's cultivation level, and it would take a long time to produce.

Soon, Jiang Ming gave Ma Lingyun a set of dark red soul-guided battle armor.

With this Soul Guidance Armor, even though Ma Lingyun's cultivation level is only Soul Saint, no one below the Title Douluo level can break through his defenses.

Ma Lingyun was overjoyed to have obtained the Soul Guidance Armor and wanted to show it off to some old friends, but he was mindful of the principle of not flaunting wealth.

Even the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire might not be able to produce this kind of soul-guided battle armor!
Jiang Ming told Ma Lingyun to relax about his concerns.

A Soul Guidance Armor is something that Soul Masters with a cultivation level above Title Douluo wouldn't even look at, and Soul Masters with a cultivation level below Title Douluo wouldn't be able to steal.

Besides, no one dares to lend a hand.

Previously, the relationship between Ma Xiaotao and him was kept relatively low-key. The royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire might know about it, but other families in Heavenly Dou City, due to their lower status, did not even have a channel to know this information.

However, they did not deliberately hide their tracks when they came to Tiandou City this time. The royal family of the Tianhun Empire must have noticed them. They would not allow Ma Lingyun to get into trouble in Tiandou City.

Moreover, the Ming Le Chamber of Commerce is located in Tian Dou City. With their help, the safety of the Ma family shouldn't be a problem.

The day passed quickly. Jiang Ming and Ma Xiaotao stayed at the Ma family's house for another night before going to the Ming Le Chamber of Commerce branch in Tian Dou City to find Zhang Lexuan and the others the next morning.

Since the bed had been ruined by the two of them the night before, Jiang Ming simply used the available materials to make a metal bed last night. Comfort aside, this thing is definitely durable!
"Won't you stay a couple more days?"

Seeing Ma Xiaotao pulling Jiang Ming over, Zhang Lexuan asked in surprise.

All told, it's been less than two days since I came to Tiandou City.

Ma Xiaotao gently shook her head and said, "No need, Senior Sister. I've already spoken to Father. Let's continue along the route."

Seeing this, Zhang Lexuan didn't say much. She had someone bring out the carriage and then went to find the branch president, instructing him to take care of the Ma family.

The branch president was very happy. Having a task meant that her impression of Zhang Lexuan, the leader, had deepened.

As for the Ma family, protecting a second-rate family in Tiandou City is incredibly easy for the Mingle Chamber of Commerce right now!
Soon, the group rode in a carriage and drove out of Tiandou City.

At the north gate, Ma Lingyun watched the carriage gradually disappear into the distance and sighed softly.

"A daughter is like a tree that grows up and leaves home."

"Next, our next destination is Xuanbing City! Luo Chen's family is the Xuanbing Sect, located west of Xuanbing City, and belongs to the Ling family, the lineage of the sect leader. Xuanbing City is geographically quite close to the far north, but it's far from Qingshui City. Qingshui City is to the west, while Xuanbing City is closer to the east."

Zhang Lexuan unfolded the route map she had prepared long ago and said softly.

The northernmost part of the Heavenly Soul Empire is the Far North, and around the edge of the Far North, there are several cities in the northern part of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Among them, Qingshui City, located in the far west, is the most dangerous city, because it not only has to face the soul beasts of the far north, but also the ice and snow city of the neighboring Sun Moon Empire.

In contrast, Xuanbing City is located within the Tianhun Empire, and apart from facing the far north, it is not in much danger.
