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

Chapter 202 Senior Sister's Farewell! The Heartbreaking Red of Longing!

On the other side, after leaving Green Lake Villa, Jiang Yi paused for a moment at the street corner.

Instead of heading directly to the Soul Guidance Train Station, he turned and walked towards a high-end hotel near the villa.

"Snow Leopard Hotel!"

At the hotel entrance, Jiang Yi gazed at the towering building in front of him. In this Beiyuan City, this hotel was also a landmark building.

"Hey!"

Jiang Yi shook his head and sighed, then stepped into the hotel.

When he left Shrek City, Leng Yulai, who was secretly protecting him, had already given him a warning.

Someone was secretly following him and Gu Yue.

So he had to come and deal with it, but it's a bit troublesome...

……

On the top floor of the hotel, there is a luxurious suite.

Inside the room, a gentle woman dressed in a light blue dress sat by the window, holding a cup of hot tea in her hands.

She rested her head on one hand, her gaze quietly fixed on the snow-covered city outside the window.

Here, the view is extremely open, and more importantly, you can see the vast Green Lake Villa in the distance.

However, due to the heavy snowfall, the mountain villa was only vaguely visible.

Even so, the woman in green remained intently focused on the mountain village in the wind and snow, unwilling to look away for a long time.

"Junior brother..."

Tang Yinmeng watched the figure slowly disappear into the heavy snow, and unconsciously uttered a soft call.

From Shrek City to this far northern border town, she followed Jiang Yi all the way and learned a lot about her junior brother.

"That girl is really nice."

Tang Yinmeng recalled the various sights and experiences she had encountered on her journey, and a complex smile appeared on her face.

This must be the girl my junior brother truly likes...

She held a spoon, stirring the boiling tea in her cup, her thoughts drifting far away with the heavy snow outside the window.

The way her junior brother laughed and joked with the girl along the way reminded her of her past with Mu Zi.

They were the same back then, sincere and passionate, with only each other in their eyes.

Such pure emotion is the most precious thing.

But Mu Zi has been gone for a long time... and yet I still have to go against my conscience and interfere between the two of them.

"I'm sorry, junior brother..."

Tang Yinmeng's face showed a hint of shame and a trace of self-loathing.

It is precisely because she once loved that she hates her shameless self so much.

However, she couldn't bring herself to refuse her mentor's request; after all, it was the academy that had raised her.

what should I do?
Tang Yinmeng closed her eyes in anguish, tears streaming silently down her face, her knuckles turning white from gripping the spoon so tightly.

She didn't want to let down either the academy or her junior brother.

This dilemma almost tore her apart, and she even considered following Mu Zi in death several times.

But... in the end, she gave up.

She dared not, fearing that her departure might cause misunderstandings between her junior brother and the academy, ultimately harming both sides.

Outside the window, the wind and snow howled, and the chill seeped in through the cracks, making her thin figure appear even more frail and helpless.

Just then, a silver light quietly appeared in the room, but Tang Yinmeng, who was immersed in pain, did not notice it.

"Senior sister!"

A pair of warm arms wrapped around her waist from behind, and a familiar and gentle voice rang in her ear.

Tang Yinmeng shuddered and instinctively curled up.

"Senior sister, it's me, Jiang Yi."

He gently rested his chin on her shoulder, inhaling the faint fragrance of her hair, but felt a sense of helplessness.

Whether it was him or Long Yeyue, although they were both using her, they were the closest people to Tang Yinmeng herself.

Given her personality, she'd probably go crazy if no one took care of her...

"..."

Faced with his calls, Tang Yinmeng remained silent with her head down, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

She didn't know how to face Jiang Yi, nor how to explain why she was there.

"Ugh."

Jiang Yi sighed as he looked at her.

Theoretically speaking, he has no right to comfort Tang Yinmeng; in fact, his current behavior is extremely shameless.

But that's reality!

He couldn't possibly overturn all his previous plans and preparations just for the sake of his senior sister.

Seeing Tang Yinmeng still trying to avoid him, Jiang Yi shook his head helplessly and could only tighten his grip on her waist a little more.

"Senior sister, I want you... is that alright?"

Jiang Yi leaned close to her ear and whispered something. Given her current state, the only way to break down her defenses was to take a shortcut…

Tang Yinmeng trembled slightly, but then fell silent, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Jiang Yi bent down, wrapped his arms around her knees, and picked her up.

Tang Yinmeng lay in his arms, her eyes tightly closed, still silent, with tears still streaming down her face.

Soon, along with the howling wind and snow outside the window, a beautiful sound also rang out inside the room.

……

Several hours later, the room gradually returned to calm, and the sound of wind and snow outside the window gradually returned to its noisy state.

The bed was a mess, and Tang Yinmeng lay on it helplessly, her pretty face still flushed.

"Senior sister, please stay by my side."

Jiang Yi raised his head and looked at his senior sister, who was still in the afterglow of her love, his eyes gentle yet pleading.

But Tang Yinmeng sighed softly and shook her head gently.

"Junior brother, our relationship was just an accident. You have your own future, and you don't need to change it for me..."

She reached out and gently stroked his hair, her eyes filled with an extreme tranquility, as if the pain and torment had temporarily subsided.

"Sister, I..."

Jiang Yi's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, but Tang Yinmeng still hardened her heart and pushed him away from her.

"Let's stop here. From now on, I will still be your senior sister, and that's all."

Tang Yinmeng circulated her soul power to cleanse herself of all the filth on and inside her body, and then put her clothes back on.

With her back to Jiang Yi, her voice was unusually firm, yet tinged with a hint of aloofness.

She has made her choice!

Silly junior brother, your senior sister staying by your side is the one who's harming you!

Your senior sister is just a burden that the academy is putting on you.

"I am preparing to travel to the other two continents. Today, I will take this opportunity to say goodbye."

After Tang Yinmeng finished speaking, she wanted to leave.

This was the best choice she could make; since she couldn't have it both ways, she should leave.

"Wait, Senior Sister!"

Jiang Yi's voice came from behind, and Tang Yinmeng immediately stopped, but she still did not turn around.

A pair of warm arms gently embraced her waist again, through her sleeves.

Jiang Yi buried his face in her back, breathing deeply her scent.

"Senior sister, I know this is taking advantage of someone in distress... but I like you, senior sister!"

Jiang Yi's voice rang out again, but he didn't try to stop her; instead, he confessed his feelings to himself.

“I know you still can’t forget your senior brother, which is why you’re in so much pain, but it’s okay. As long as I’m alive, I’ll always be waiting for you to come back to Shrek Academy…”

Jiang Yi spoke firmly, making his promise.

"This is a magical herb I obtained from the Tang Sect. I'll give it to you, Senior Sister, for protection."

Immediately afterward, without waiting for Tang Yinmeng's response, he released her hand and instead placed a blue jade box into her palm.

Inside the jade box, a strange red flower was prominently displayed, its pure white petals adorned with traces of crimson.

It is the legendary herb that symbolizes faithful love, the Love-Sickness-Breaking-Heart Red!

"Goodbye, senior sister."

Jiang Yi stood behind Tang Yinmeng, his tone filled with encouragement and relief.

Tang Yinmeng pursed her red lips, but ultimately did not turn around. She simply gripped the jade box tightly in her hand.

"Goodbye, junior brother!"

After saying this, she resolutely left, her resolute departure as sharp as the merciless wind and snow outside the window.

……

Snowflakes are falling and the north wind is blowing.

"Hey……"

Jiang Yi watched Tang Yinmeng leave and sighed deeply.

His relationship with his senior sister is nothing more than a temporary fix; the real storm will come when all his identities are revealed.

"Take a shower first!"

Jiang Yi shook his head and quickly put away his distracting thoughts.

There's plenty of time ahead; who knows what the future holds?

However, just as he was walking toward the bathroom, a dark shadow silently appeared.

The next second, several black flames transformed into chains that pierced through the air, firmly imprisoning him in mid-air.

Leng Yulai looked at Jiang Yi with a resentful gaze through her beautiful eyes, and gently flicked the small bell with her jade-like hand.

"Is this part of your plan?"
