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

Chapter 157 Senior Sister Shen, let me explain...

"Senior Sister Shen! Are you there?"

Jiang Yi reached out and knocked on Shen Yi's dormitory door. His forehead was covered in sweat, and his whole body was drenched in sweat.

This isn't from being tired, it's from being beaten...

In retaliation for a bodyguard's "deceitful behavior," Jiang Yi returned to Shrek Academy. When the two parted, Jiang Yi, on a whim, also forced himself on her.

Hey, isn't that a coincidence? Just then, a certain Silver Dragon King, who was in a bad mood because he hadn't seen him recently, happened to pass by.

"Not here? Where did you go again?"

Jiang Yi knocked on the door for a long time, but Shen Yi didn't come out, which wasn't surprising.

Although Shen Yi was a disciple of Zhuoshi, he had a good relationship with Ya Li and could even be considered Ya Li's half-disciple.

On weekdays, she is not only a tutor in the Department of Foreign Languages, but also often handles affairs for Yali, keeping her extremely busy.

"Then I'll come in!"

Jiang Yi called out into the room.

He didn't go directly to Ya Li to return the remnant souls of those Shrek disciples, but instead went to Tang Yinmeng first, in order to maximize his benefits.

This is his handpicked top general!

Seeing that there was still no response, Jiang Yi took out his key, opened the door, and went inside.

As for where the key came from, don't ask...

"Sister!"

As soon as Jiang Yi entered the dormitory, he saw Tang Yinmeng sitting blankly on the edge of the bed.

She was wearing a thin bathrobe, her long hair wet and draped over her shoulders, clearly having just taken a bath.

However, those once lively eyes were now empty and lifeless, like a beautiful doll that had lost its soul.

"Senior sister, I have something to give you."

Jiang Yi walked up to Tang Yinmeng, squatted down, and spoke softly to her.

But Tang Yinmeng remained unresponsive, simply sitting there with a blank stare ahead.

Jiang Yi had no choice but to take out the cyan jade hairpin that Lan Muzi had given him.

The moment the jade hairpin appeared, Tang Yinmeng's previously empty eyes seemed to twitch slightly.

"Senior sister, during this trip, I accidentally discovered a stronghold of evil spirit masters."

Jiang Yi sighed softly, gently opened Tang Yinmeng's cold hand, and placed the cyan jade hairpin into her palm.

“There… I met the remnant soul of Senior Brother Lan Muzi. This is what he asked me to give you…”

Jiang Yi slowly delivered his prepared statement to Tang Yinmeng and described the situation at the time.

As Jiang Yi narrated, Tang Yinmeng's pupils seemed to refocus until... her hand tightly gripped the cyan jade hairpin.

"This is... from him?"

Tang Yinmeng suddenly looked up and stood up abruptly. The movement was so violent that her bathrobe slipped off, revealing her fair and white skin.

But she didn't care at all, she just grabbed Jiang Yi's arms tightly and asked in an almost pleading tone.

"How is he now? What happened to him... Please tell me! Please!!"

A glimmer of hope ignited in her eyes, the kind of expectation a dying person clings to as they grasp at their last straw.

Although she had witnessed her lover's death, she still held onto a sliver of hope.

"My senior brother... has already perished."

Jiang Yi shook his head and sighed dejectedly.

Lan Muzi used all her remaining spiritual energy to stabilize the souls of the other Shrek disciples.

Otherwise, before he could return to Shrek Academy, the souls of those inner court disciples would have already dissipated.

"My senior brother asked me to tell my senior sister... please live well, for your own sake, not for his."

Jiang Yi twisted slightly, gently freeing his hand, and said softly.

Tang Yinmeng smiled sadly, her face as pale as paper, and her body went limp as she fell back onto the bed, curling up in a ball like an abandoned child.

Her bare shoulders trembled slightly, and she seemed so fragile that she would break at the slightest touch.

"You're gone... what's the point of my life anymore..."

Tang Yinmeng curled up, murmuring repeatedly, tears streaming silently down her face.

Jiang Yi looked at her like this, shook his head helplessly, picked up the bathrobe from the ground, and wanted to put it back on her. She was a pitiful person... but he had no right to comfort her.

"Go away! Don't touch me!"

Tang Yinmeng screamed hoarsely, hugging herself tightly with her arms, weeping alone, her whole body exuding a sense of utter devastation.

Jiang Yi's hand, holding the bath towel, froze in mid-air for a moment.

Covering it or not covering it is not an option.

At that moment, the dormitory door was pushed open again.

Shen Yi walked into the dormitory and was immediately stunned by the scene before him, his mouth agape.

The senior sister wept helplessly, Jiang Yi glared at her menacingly, and the bathrobe he had just taken off was in his hand...

"Jiang Yi! You bastard, what do you think you're doing to Senior Sister?!"

Shen Yi clenched his fists, trembling with anger.

Did I give you the dorm key so you could do this kind of thing?

It seems I need to teach you a lesson on behalf of my senior!

"No! Senior Sister Shen, please let me explain... This was actually an accident! It's not what you think..."

Jiang Yi hurriedly threw the bath towel he was holding onto Tang Yinmeng, and then quickly waved his hands to explain.

However, Shen Yi couldn't believe a word of it—could it be that Senior Sister had taken off her bathrobe herself?
Shen Yi stormed over and reached out to twist his ear.

But Jiang Yi dodged backward, avoiding Shen Yi's hand.

"You still dare to hide! You only learn bad things and not good ones. I'm going to report to His Holy Spirit right now and see where you've been in the inner city lately!"

Shen Yi said with a hint of disappointment, "I remember that Jiang Yi wasn't very likable at first."

The reason he's like this now is probably because he's been corrupted by bad influences.

Fortunately, she returned in time, preventing the little pervert from succeeding.

"Where's the key? Give it back to me!"

Shen Yi snorted coldly and reached out to Jiang Yi for his dormitory key.

Despite her trust in him, he dared to take advantage of her and defile her senior sister. He was truly audacious.

Just then, a clear, cold voice rang out from the side.

"It has nothing to do with him! Junior Sister Shen, this is indeed a misunderstanding."

Shen Yi was startled and abruptly turned his head to look at the bed—

That's the voice of the eldest sister!

Tang Yinmeng, who had been curled up on the bed silently weeping, had somehow sat up.

Under their gaze, she remained completely naked, yet her eyes were strangely calm, as if she didn't care at all.

"He was delivering something to me on Mu Zi's behalf. Just now... I was too excited, it's not his fault!"

Tang Yinmeng spoke softly, reached for the blue dress on the bedside table, and put it on as if no one else was around.

However, her overly calm expression only made the deathly stillness in her heart even more palpable.

"Senior sister...you're all better!"

Shen Yi looked at Tang Yinmeng with surprise; this was the first time his senior sister had spoken in so many days.

Then, remembering something, she raised her hand and tapped Jiang Yi on the head, saying fiercely.

"Look! You still dare to look..."

Jiang Yi shrugged and silently turned away.

Even the eldest sister doesn't mind, why are you being so fierce... Besides, you've already seen everything.

A short while later, Tang Yinmeng finished dressing, and Shen Yi then asked him to turn around.

At this moment, Tang Yinmeng was dressed in a plain blue dress, without any embellishment, yet she was exceptionally beautiful. A hint of melancholy lingered between her brows, making her all the more charming.

This kind of temperament is hard to describe... If Jiang Yi had to use his limited cultural knowledge to describe it, it would be the haggardness of a widow.

The withered flower still bears dew, and the surviving person's eyes are filled with frost.
