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

Chapter 188 Candied Hawthorn Berries! Sweet and sour!
Wow! What heavy snow!

As Jiang Yi pulled Gu Yue out of the station, snowflakes began to fall like goose feathers, a chill swept over them, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.

"Moon, are you cold?"

Jiang Yi turned to look at Gu Yue and asked.

The two of them came from Shrek City in the central region, and they were wearing rather thin clothes.

"not cold!"

Gu Yue gently shook her head.

Soul Masters are much more adaptable than ordinary people.

However, Jiang Yi seemed not to hear her, and directly grasped her two slightly cool small hands, rubbing them vigorously in his palms.

After a series of actions, those two fair little hands immediately turned a light pink.

"You said you weren't cold, but your hands are all red from the cold!"

Jiang Yi looked at the two bright red little hands and said reproachfully.

Then, he took Gu Yue's hand, placed it in his own palm, and breathed on it twice, doing it in a very professional manner.

"..."

Gu Yue rolled her eyes. "Isn't this what you rubbed until it turned red?"

However, seeing Jiang Yi's attentive manner, she merely raised her eyebrows, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes, but ultimately did not withdraw her hand.

That idiot... he's quite skilled at coaxing people.

"Moon, let's go take a look over there!"

Jiang Yi yawned for a while, and seeing that she did not resist, he took advantage of the situation and pulled the girl directly into his arms.

"Don't go too far!"

Gu Yue's ears burned slightly, and she let out a soft scolding.

There are so many people outside!
She instinctively tried to break free, but the hand wrapped around her waist pressed their bodies tightly together.

"Don't move! Moon, you don't want to be noticed by too many people, do you?"

Jiang Yi leaned close to the girl's ear and gently breathed warm air into her ear.

At the same time, he circulated the power of his internal energy and transferred a portion of it over. Gu Yue's delicate body trembled, and the blood in her body instantly boiled.

"you!"

Gu Yue's breathing quickened, as if the dormant source was about to break through the seal she had set and devour the person who was trying to provoke it.

She had to concentrate and suppress this instinct from her bloodline, and her resistance subsided.

"There are warm clothes for sale over there, let's go take a look."

Jiang Yi looked down at the girl who had settled down in his arms, a triumphant smile flashing in his eyes, and led her toward the stall ahead.

Gu Yue raised her eyes and glared at him, but didn't move again, letting him hold her.

The Silver Dragon King's essence within Jiang Yi's body had grown strong enough to activate her bloodline, and she didn't want to do anything strange in front of everyone.

All you do is bully me...

A hint of resentment rose in Gu Yue's heart. Next time, I won't care, I'll just bite you to death!

(Awooo!)

The two walked hand in hand, leaving two closely overlapping footprints in the snow.

Fortunately, in this freezing street, the act of huddling together for warmth did not seem out of place, which made Gu Yue secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

The streets near the station were lined with stalls, steaming pots of hot food, vendors calling out their wares, and a lively atmosphere filled the air as snowflakes drifted down.

"Boss, I want these two pieces of clothing... and that hat too."

Jiang Yi and Gu Yue stopped in front of a stall and casually picked out two fluffy cotton coats.

"A total of two thousand Federal Credits!"

The boss deftly took off his clothes and greeted him warmly.

"Okay, it's turned around."

After Jiang Yi paid and took the clothes, he finally released the girl from his arms.

"Alright! Young man, you're really considerate to your girlfriend!"

The boss said with a smile.

"..."

Having just escaped, Gu Yue's hands were red, and her face was also tinged with a faint blush, perhaps from the cold wind.

Gu Yue bit her red lips lightly, before she could explain.

Jiang Yi took her hand again and, taking advantage of her momentary daze, draped the thick cotton-padded coat over her shoulders.

"Perfect!"

Finally, Jiang Yi gently placed a red and yellow tiger-head hat on Lord Silver Dragon King's head, and then clapped his hands in satisfaction.

"Are you satisfied?"

Gu Yue pouted and looked at Jiang Yi with annoyance.

Although she looked sulky, she appeared rather fierce under that tiger-skin hat. Mom was especially adorable today!
"I was just worried you'd get too cold."

Jiang Yi blinked and said with an innocent look.

"Look, your face is all red from the cold!"

Gu Yue was speechless for a moment and could not refute it.

"Hmph! I want you to take care of it!"

The girl gave a coquettish snort, turned around and left, ignoring the jerk.

"Wait for me!"

Jiang Yi watched her sullen back and laughed instead, then quickly chased after her.

Passing by a candied hawthorn stall, he bought two skewers. The glistening rock sugar coating the bright red hawthorns looked incredibly tempting.

"Sweet!"

Jiang Yi caught up with Gu Yue and handed her a string of pearls.

Gu Yue glanced at him, her gaze falling on the glistening fruit. After hesitating for a moment, she took it.

She took a small bite, and a sweet taste spread on her tongue. Then she frowned almost imperceptibly.

"How about it?"

Jiang Yi approached with a smile.

"good!"

As Gu Yue gazed into his earnest eyes, her brows gradually relaxed.

After saying that, she reached out and snatched the string of candied hawthorns from Jiang Yi's hand.

Jiang Yi didn't mind and let her take it.

"Moon, tell me what your aunt and uncle like? I'll prepare accordingly."

Jiang Yi naturally took the girl's free hand.

Gu Yue glanced at his little gestures, but didn't break free, letting him lead her, though the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

"You really want to know?"

She was biting into a candied hawthorn while smiling at him, seemingly having calmed down.

"Of course!"

Jiang Yi nodded repeatedly.

Gu Yue looked at Jiang Yi, a sly glint in her eyes, and pointed to a soul tool shop in the distance.

“Great! I have an uncle who loves bear paws. Why don’t you buy two? His martial soul is a bear, and he gets so excited every time he sees a soul tool related to bears that he can’t sleep for three days!”

"Really...?!"

"Believe it or not! And that velvet one too..."

Gu Yue seemed to have relaxed a lot, and took the initiative to lead him through the various shops.

As he bought more and more things, Jiang Yi felt a cold sweat pouring down his face.

My goodness, even though I'm not your biological son, don't treat me like I'm from another planet!

……

"Girl, are you going to buy it or not? If not, don't block my way."

The woman selling candied hawthorns looked at the woman in blue who was staring blankly at her stall and couldn't help but urge her to hurry up.

Is there any trick to this string of candied hawthorns?
"Oh...sorry, I'll buy it!"

Tang Yinmeng turned her gaze away from the distance and glanced apologetically at the older woman.

She picked up a string of candied hawthorns, paid for it, gently put it in her mouth, and bit off a fruit.

Upon tasting it, a faint sweetness emerged, but immediately followed by an extremely strong sour and astringent sensation that filled her entire mouth, causing her to unconsciously furrow her brow.

"sour?"

She looked down at the bright candied hawthorn in her hand and murmured to herself.

"Hey! Don't talk nonsense, girl... This is a brand that's been around for decades!"

The older woman next to her was displeased and was about to argue when she saw Tang Yinmeng turn around and walk into the crowd, disappearing into the swirling snowflakes.

……

Half an hour later.

"Phew! I almost missed it!"

Jiang Yi boarded the train again, letting out a long sigh of relief. Gu Yue sat down beside him, her little face flushed.

The moment the two sat down, a loud roar erupted.

Rumble——!
The Soul-Guided Train slowly started moving, its locomotive pushing aside the thick snow on the tracks and speeding towards the depths of the snowfield ahead.

　I'm not good at writing daily life stories, but I can't not write them. I don't know if this is a bit sloppy.
