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

Chapter 136 Leng Yaozhu: Sister, you actually have a child?

The headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda, the premium accommodation area.

Jiang Yi stood outside an elegantly decorated door, hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock! Aunt Leng! It's me, Jiang Yi!"

His gaze swept across the quiet corridor, a strange feeling rising in his heart.

This area seems to be the residence of the people inside the Spirit Pagoda, so Leng Yaozhu's arrangement for a meeting here seems a bit... casual.

"come in!"

Leng Yaozhu's voice came from inside the room. As soon as she finished speaking, the door slid open silently.

Jiang Yi peeked into the living room and found it empty, with only warm light and a faint fragrance lingering in the air.

He hesitated slightly, but still stepped inside. The door closed quietly behind him, completely shutting out the noise from the outside world.

"It really is a bedroom suite..."

The room's main color scheme is a warm, fiery red, but the furnishings are quite elegant, which is somewhat different from Leng Yaozhu's usual fiery and dignified demeanor, making it more tranquil.

A delicate fragrance lingered in the air, a scent that seemed to be a mixture of some kind of flower and the steam from a bath.

"Have a seat! I'll be done in a minute!"

Leng Yaozhu's voice rang out again, and Jiang Yi looked in the direction of the sound, which came from behind the tightly closed bathroom door in the corner.

"Okay, Aunt Leng."

Jiang Yi responded and sat down on the sofa, not glancing towards the bathroom again.

There were no erotic scenes like those in novels. Nothing could be seen through the bathroom door, and not even the sound of water could be heard; clearly, a soul-guided device was concealed.

Reality isn't like those imaginary novels; what kind of kind person would install erotic glass in their room, especially a single old lady who's been single for decades?

The wait wasn't too long.

About fifteen minutes later, the bathroom door clicked open.

A cloud of hot steam rose up first, and then Leng Yaozhu walked out wrapped in a loose bathrobe.

Her signature long, fiery red hair was wet and cascading over her shoulders, with tiny water droplets still clinging to the ends.

The usually dignified Tianfeng Douluo was now more relaxed and gentle, like a homebody.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Leng Yaozhu said apologetically to Jiang Yi.

As she walked, she reached out and brushed her hair, her fair fingertips brushing against it, creating wisps of barely perceptible steam that quickly dried her long hair.

She casually gathered her long hair up and secured it with a simple bun, revealing her beautifully shaped, fair neck.

"It's alright, Aunt Leng."

Jiang Yi sat upright on the sofa, his back straight, his eyes fixed straight ahead, like a well-behaved child facing his teacher, his gaze respectfully fixed on the coffee table in front of him.

"Did you call me here because you have something to tell me? Is it about... Yue'er?"

Jiang Yi blinked, his voice tinged with a hint of naivety and nervousness, like a shy young virgin.

Seeing his expression, Leng Yaozhu couldn't help but smile.

She walked to the other side of the coffee table, sat down, and reached for the teapot and teacups.

"No, it's not about Yue'er."

Leng Yaozhu gently shook her head and gracefully began to brew tea. Hot water was poured into the cup, causing the tea leaves to swirl, and the aroma of tea gradually spread.

"I asked you to come here alone today because of some personal matters."

"You don't need to be so reserved!"

She looked at Jiang Yi with gentle eyes, and then handed him a cup of tea that had been brewed.

"I remember your martial spirit is the Fangtian Halberd, a very rare top-tier weapon martial spirit."

"However, the power you used at the end today, that black phoenix flame, doesn't seem to be a soul skill? Could it be that you have twin martial souls?"

coming.

Jiang Yi's heart stirred, but he showed a hint of difficulty on his face.

He took the slightly hot teacup with both hands, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the inside of the cup. After hesitating for a moment, he finally shook his head.

"This... I don't have twin martial souls..."

Jiang Yi shook his head, hesitated, and finally lowered his head, staring at the tea leaves floating in the cup, remaining silent.

"how?"

Seeing this, Leng Yaozhu frowned slightly, her slender eyebrows furrowing, and her tone carrying a hint of reproach.

"I am Yue'er's master. Do you still consider Aunt Leng an outsider?"

She didn't hesitate to bring out the banner of Gu Yue.

This was the first time in decades that she had encountered any information related to Leng Yulai, and she was determined to find out the truth about it today.

Moon, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you!
Leng Yaozhu silently apologized to her disciple in her heart, then focused her gaze even more intently on Jiang Yi.

"No! Aunt Leng, please don't misunderstand!" Jiang Yi waved his hand, seemingly flustered, and then said awkwardly.

"But... I promised that person I wouldn't reveal her information. I'm so sorry..."

"Your dark phoenix fire, is it a power given to you by someone else?"

Leng Yaozhu, however, looked intently at Jiang Yi and said with certainty.

That Black Phoenix True Flame is the product of the Phoenix Flame's second transformation, and can only be condensed by those at the Super Douluo level or above.

Although Jiang Yi's combat power far exceeded his cultivation level, his strength was still far from meeting the standard, and could only be attributed to a powerful being with a Dark Phoenix Martial Soul.

In the Douluo Continent today, Leng Yaozhu is quite certain that there is only one Dark Phoenix Soul Master who can reach this level of cultivation, and that is her younger sister, Leng Yulai!

In terms of cultivation talent alone, Yu Lai is even better than her older sister.

Yu Lai was two years younger than her, but they reached the Title Douluo realm at almost the same time.

"..."

Jiang Yi remained silent, only picking up his teacup and taking a small sip, thus implicitly acknowledging Leng Yaozhu's guess.

Seeing his reaction, Leng Yaozhu's eyes lit up.

She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.

"Hey! Xiao Yi, Aunt Leng won't beat around the bush with you anymore!"

Leng Yaozhu sighed deeply, her eyes revealing a hint of regret and self-blame.

"If I'm not mistaken, the person who taught you the Dark Phoenix Flame is actually my long-lost younger sister."

As she said this, she leaned forward slightly, stretched out her hands, and gripped Jiang Yi's wrists tightly without saying a word, the force revealing her inner turmoil.

"I'm begging you! Tell me about her! From now on, I'll definitely support you in your relationship with Yue'er!"

Leng Yaozhu grasped his hands, her voice trembling slightly, and said in an almost pleading tone.

Even though Jiang Yi was prepared, his humble attitude still caused a slight tremor in his heart.

Who would have thought that the mighty Heavenly Phoenix Douluo would have such a soft and vulnerable side?

Fortunately, I, Jiang, act with integrity; otherwise, who knows what strange things might have happened.

Jiang Yi inwardly grumbled, but at the opportune moment, he showed a look of surprise on his face.

"younger sister?"

Jiang Yi looked puzzled, and his tone softened slightly.

"Yes, she is my younger sister."

Seeing that he was showing signs of relenting, a hint of joy flashed in Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes.

“We had some arguments back then, and she left the family in a fit of anger and never returned for decades.”

For them, condensing the Phoenix True Fire requires expending their essence, which means Jiang Yi must have a close relationship with Yu Lai.

"Xiao Yi, don't worry! Aunt Leng just wants to know how she's been doing these past few years. She definitely won't bother her!"

Leng Yaozhu held Jiang Yi's hand tightly and made a promise.

"All right!"

Jiang Yi grasped Leng Yaozhu's hands in return, seemingly moved by her gesture, his eyes filled with memories.

“When I was five years old, my parents both died in an accident. My older sisters were too busy with family affairs to take care of me.”

His tone carried a hint of reminiscing about past pain, but more than that, it was a longing for warmer times.

"It was in that year, when I was most lost and helpless, that my master suddenly appeared by my side."

"She taught me the knowledge of a Soul Master, guided my cultivation path, and more importantly, she accompanied me and taught me how to become a real man... It can be said that without her, there would be no me today."

Jiang Yi's eyes revealed undisguised admiration and deep affection, a sincere feeling for someone who was both a teacher and a mother to him.

"But my master... is very mysterious. She never tells me her name, nor does she allow me to inquire about her background or identity."

"She only appears when I need her, teaches me a lot, and then quietly leaves..."

Leng Yulai did teach him a lot of moves and postures. After all, she was a veteran powerhouse with the Dark Phoenix, and her flexibility was incomparable to that of her previous life.

Although Leng Yulai became somewhat reserved after regaining consciousness, Jiang Yi still learned a great deal.

Jiang Yi savored some of the beautiful moments that had been deleted by the censors in his heart, but on the surface he still looked sentimental.

"Master?"

After listening to Jiang Yi's account, Leng Yaozhu frowned again, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

Given Yu Lai's personality, how could she possibly take a child as an apprentice for no reason?
Is it possible...

Suddenly, Leng Yaozhu thought of something, her pupils contracted sharply, and she looked at Jiang Yi in front of her.

Those familiar eyebrows and eyes seemed to really resemble her... and there was that aura that stirred her soul and made her feel warm and familiar.

That explains it!

No wonder I felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to this little guy when we first met!
Yu Lai, you actually have a child!
