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

Chapter 273 Because my sister is a bad person!

The sun was shining brightly in the courtyard, and the sea breeze, carrying a salty and damp scent, blew through the fence.

Nanali sat upright in a chair, surrounded by a group of children, around seven or eight years old.

At first glance, Nanali looks only a few years older than them, but she has a much more mature demeanor.

"Sister Nanali, Uncle Ye Fan said you are a Soul Master, right?"

One of the children suddenly looked up at Nanali with curiosity.

Everyone in the village knows the legend of Sister Nanali—the mysterious sister who left this place many years ago and occasionally returns.

When adults mentioned her, they always lowered their voices, their eyes filled with a mixture of gratitude and a certain indescribable awe.

They don't understand those complex emotions.

All they knew was that Sister Nanali would tell them stories about the outside world and bring back colorful candies from town.

"Yes, my sister is a Soul Master!"

Nanali smiled and reached out to pat the child's head.

At this moment, she no longer possessed her usual carefree and frivolous demeanor, nor did she exude the chilling aura she had as an evil soul master.

She was just an older sister sitting in her hometown courtyard, surrounded by children.

"Does your sister have any spirit rings? And who's stronger, her or the mayor of Linhai Town? I heard he's a two-ring Great Spirit Master!"

A little girl next to her raised her hand and joined the discussion, looking at Nanali expectantly and asking.

On the last market day, she went to town with her father to trade the catch and saw the town mayor use his soul skill from afar.

"A second-ring Grand Soul Master?"

Nanali blinked, a slight smile playing on her lips as she nodded.

"Then the older sister should still be a little better than him..."

Wow~ x5!

The crowd erupted in cheers, and the eyes of the five children sparkled like clear stars in the night sky.

Nanali rested her chin on her hand, watching the group of little ones play with a smile.

She thoroughly enjoyed this heartwarming scene, as if everything she had experienced in the outside world had been healed here.

Perhaps, the village chief felt the same way when he looked at them back then...

A smile played on her lips, her eyes slowly glazed over, and a cherished memory surfaced in her mind.

On a similar afternoon, under the same locust tree, the old village chief, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, told them stories of the sea.

"My sister is amazing! I want to become a Soul Master like her someday!"

A firm voice pulled her back from her memories.

Several children clenched their fists, their faces filled with longing and anticipation, determined to learn from Nanali.

However, Nanali felt no relief upon hearing this; instead, she instinctively waved her hand.

"No, no... You can't be like your older sister..."

Nanali reached out and covered the mouths of the group, giving them a serious warning.

How can you imitate her?

If the village chief could know this in the afterlife, wouldn't he be furious?

"why?"

Several children looked up, their clear eyes filled with confusion.

In their eyes, Sister Nanali was clearly the best person in the world, helping them fight off the sea monsters and even buying them candy.

"because……"

Nanali opened her mouth, looking at the innocent-looking child, but couldn't make a sound.

Just then, as if sensing something, she suddenly looked up and saw a familiar figure standing at the door.

It was Jiang Yi, whom they had been searching for!
Nanali paused for a moment, then slowly lowered her head to look at the children surrounding her.

Their bright, sunny smiles seemed somewhat glaring at that moment.

A complex emotion welled up inside me, I didn't know whether it was shame or disappointment.

Ugh……

She sighed deeply in her heart and murmured silently.

Because... my sister is a bad person!
"Alright! Alright! Let's not talk about this anymore, you guys go back first! Sister, we have guests here."

Nanali smiled, suppressing her emotions, and got up to see the little ones out the door.

"Goodbye sister!"

Although the children curiously glanced back at the unfamiliar older brother at the door, they obediently waved and ran away.

"come in!"

After watching the group leave, Nanali turned to look at Jiang Yi.

"Ok!"

Jiang Yi nodded calmly and followed Nanali into the inner room, carefully looking around the small courtyard.

It was an ordinary courtyard, nothing special, just a bit dilapidated, not like a place where people usually lived. "What brings you here?"

After entering the house, Nanali sat down at the table and asked with a pursed lip.

I've only been away from work for a few days... a few months, surely it's not like I have to come all the way here?
Jiang Yi sat down opposite her, not answering immediately, but instead observing her with great interest.

Today, Nanali wore a simple cotton dress, not fancy at all, and looked like an ordinary fishing village girl.

"I just missed you, Nanali-neechan~"

Jiang Yi suddenly laughed, leaned forward, and teased the child in his tone.

"roll!"

Nanali blushed and glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed.

She grabbed a cup from the table next to her and instinctively wanted to smash it at Jiang Yi.

But as soon as she lifted it up, she froze, as if she had thought of something, and carefully put it back down.

This cannot be thrown away.

"Hehe, this isn't like you at all!"

Jiang Yi took in all of this, and the teasing in his tone faded, replaced by a hint of inexplicable emotion.

Normally, Nunnally would have pounced on him, yelling and screaming, ready to fight him to the death.

"..."

Nanali remained silent for a moment before speaking in a muffled voice.

"Has Little Phoenix already told you?"

She raised her head, her eyes darting away, yet she couldn't help but look at Jiang Yi in front of her.

"How much did you say?"

"all!"

Jiang Yi blinked, met Nanali's anxious gaze, slowly raised his hand, and made a gesture.

He initially thought Nanali was just slacking off, but unexpectedly, Leng Yulai gave him some inside information.

Nanali is not a citizen of the Federation, but was born in the Star Luo Empire.

This is where she lived before being taken back to the Holy Spirit Cult by the Ghost Emperor; it seems to have been a good time there.

"..."

Nanali suddenly felt a darkness engulf her vision.

Little Phoenix!!!
How could she just sell herself out completely? What happened to our sisterhood of so many years?

"Nunally..."

Jiang Yi stood up and looked at her solemnly.

Sunlight shone from behind him, blurring his face in the backlight, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

"Humph!"

Nanali subconsciously straightened her back, crossed her arms, pouted, turned her head to the side, and snorted arrogantly.

"I don't need comforting!"

I am Lady Nunnally! One of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult!
However, Jiang Yi rolled his eyes.

"I just want to tell you that you've been absent from work for six months, and I think it's time to set some rules for you!"

His tone was serious and businesslike, but a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.

Does this wicked little girl think she's cute?

Okay, he is kind of cute, but he won't admit it.

"what?"

Nanali's face fell, and she turned to look at Jiang Yi again.

But as soon as she turned around, golden halos descended, like tight bands binding her body.

"you!"

Nanali instinctively tried to mobilize her soul power to resist, but was horrified to find that even her level 98 soul power could not break through the golden halo's confinement.

What kind of soul skill is this?
Nanali was startled, but then she snapped back to attention and looked at Jiang Yi, who was walking towards her, with a hint of panic.

At this moment, under the control of the golden halo, she was just an ordinary person with relatively strong physical abilities.

"Don't you dare do anything reckless! Otherwise, Lady Nunnally won't let you off the hook!"

Nanali bared her teeth and threatened.

In the past few years, she relied on her high cultivation level to play tricks on Jiang Yi, that brat. Now, will things turn around?

No! Lady Nunnally is invincible!
Da baa baa!

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Jiang Yi approached with a smile, holding a halberd in one hand, occasionally adding a "Unpredictable Storm" to her attack.

"Nanali, you don't want the villagers to know you're an evil spirit master, do you?"
