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

Chapter 276 Return to Shrek Academy! The Star Luo Princess on the Run!
Two months later.

At dawn, as the sky broke, Nanali gazed at the still-sleeping village at the entrance of Nanyu Village and sighed softly.

She always did the same thing, choosing to leave quietly in the early morning when no one was around.

I wonder how many people will remember her when she comes back next time.

"Actually, you could stay here a little longer."

Jiang Yi reached out and gently rubbed her head.

He wasn't a heartless boss. Although he was fond of using underhanded tactics, he was still a good person, and even his secretary spoke highly of him.

"no need."

Nanali shook her head.

The old village chief had long since passed away; for her, the village was merely a vessel for preserving those memories.

Perhaps, once those who remember her die, the two will have no further connection.

"let's go!"

Nanali suddenly turned her head and smiled at Jiang Yi, the melancholy in her eyes replaced by a brighter light.

The world of Soul Masters and ordinary people is ultimately separated by a barrier; this is the life that truly belongs to her.

"Ok!"

Jiang Yi nodded slightly.

The two departed silently in the morning mist.

……

At the port of Silo, the ship's horn blared.

The massive cruise ship slowly departed from the dock amidst the sound of its horn, and the outline of the Star Luo Continent gradually blurred in view.

The Shrek Academy members ultimately failed to wait for Tang Wuling's return and could only embark on their journey back to the Douluo Federation with the exchange delegation.

As night fell, the sea and sky turned completely black.

Only the cruise ship remained brightly lit, and laughter and cheerful voices flowed from the banquet hall—it was the final farewell party for the return journey.

In stark contrast to the hustle and bustle inside the cabin, the deck was completely quiet.

Jiang Yi leaned against the railing alone, gazing at the distant sea, lost in thought.

At this moment, a blue-haired girl walked unsteadily, swaying for a long time before finally reaching Jiang Yi's back.

Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow, about to turn around, but was interrupted.

The girl gently stretched out her two small hands and wrapped them around his waist from behind.

"Don't move... Jiang Yi."

Xu Xiaoyan gently rested her head on his shoulder, her voice soft and sweet.

"Are you still thinking about Wu Ling? She... she'll definitely be alright."

She was comforting him, but the way she was comforting him...

Jiang Yi looked down at the restless little hands and sighed helplessly.

"Xiaoyan!"

Jiang Yi grasped the mischievous little hand on his chest and turned around helplessly.

The girl's cheeks were flushed, her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, her blue hair was also a little messy, and a strong smell of alcohol wafted out with her breath.

"Xiao Yan, you're drunk."

"I'm not drunk!"

Xu Xiaoyan grinned, then softly nestled into his arms.

She wrapped her arms tightly around Jiang Yi's neck, muttering incoherently.

"I'm perfectly sober..."

Jiang Yi chuckled to himself. He wasn't even drunk yet, but he'd probably be walking like a crab.

He bent down, slipped his arm under her knees, gently scooped her up, and steadily lifted her into his arms.

"I'll take you back to your room to rest."

Jiang Yi picked her up and started walking towards the cabin.

But just then, the girl in his arms suddenly tilted her head back, cupped his face in her hands, and pulled him down without saying a word.

The two faces were pressed together, feeling each other's breath.

"Uh~"

As soon as Xu Xiaoyan opened her mouth, she let out a burp, the strong smell of alcohol breaking the slightly ambiguous atmosphere.

She seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then gave a silly laugh.

"Hehe, sorry."

But the next second, her dazed eyes focused hard, revealing a rare seriousness.

"Jiang Yi, I have something to tell you..."

"Say it!"

Jiang Yi tried to pull her hand away, but Xu Xiaoyan held on even tighter, so he had no choice but to let her do as she pleased.

"While Wu Ling is away, can you treat me like she is...?"

Xu Xiaoyan's face turned even redder, her voice barely audible, yet carrying a do-or-die courage.

"Xiao Yan, you're really drunk."

Jiang Yi said helplessly, glancing at the passageway next to him out of the corner of his eye.

At that moment, around the corner not far away, several blurry figures were hiding in the shadows.

"I'm not drunk!"

Xu Xiaoyan pouted, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied.

"What Wu Ling can do, I can do too... I promised to take good care of you..."

Before she could finish speaking, she raised her head, wrapped her arms around his neck, and awkwardly kissed him.

Jiang Yi was slightly taken aback, then a knowing smile flashed across his eyes. He certainly wouldn't be shy about a kiss from a beautiful woman.

However, Xiao Yan was too proactive today; it was probably the guys next to her who were encouraging her.

Could it be that he got drunk and used him as a bet?

……

at the same time.

At the corner of the passageway not far away, several heads were huddled together, all looking at the two people on the deck.

Yuan Enhui: |'-')
Ye Xinglan: |'-')
Wu Siduo: |'-')
Dai Yun'er: |乛乛)
"See? I told you this trick would work!"

Dai Yun'er lowered her voice and said smugly, shaking her head.

"Alcohol is not only a catalyst, but also the best shield; it can be used for both offense and defense, and even in defeat, one won't become a clown..."

Although I've never been in a relationship, I'm a romance expert who's read countless romance novels.

Taking down Jiang Yi would be a piece of cake.

"Sister Yun'er, you're amazing!"

Wu Siduo blinked and looked at Dai Yun'er with admiration.

The main family is indeed the main family!

Looks like I need to learn more from my older sister, meow!

Ye Xinglan nodded thoughtfully. If Xiao Yan can do it, there's no reason why I can't!
"Uh... speaking of which,"

Yuan Enhui glanced at her with concern.

"You just followed us like this, are you sure it's okay with the Star Luo royal family?"

After the cruise ship set sail, they unexpectedly bumped into the runaway princess of the Star Luo Empire in the storage cabin.

"Don't worry! I've already left a letter for my brother, saying I'm going to study in the Federation for a few years!"

Dai Yun'er waved her hand dismissively.

Having finally escaped, how could she possibly go back?

Besides...

She gazed at the two kissing in front of her and sighed softly.

Third Sister Bai!

So you're Tang Wuling!

Recalling their mutual support in Dragon Valley, Dai Yun'er felt a pang of sorrow and secretly made a vow in her heart.

I'll take care of your brother, whom you're worried about. See, I found you a sister-in-law right away.

Go in peace!
……

After more than a month of sailing, the coastline of Douluo Continent finally came into view.

The group returned to Shrek City, but Jiang Yi got off the bus halfway there.

Tang Wuling has gone missing in Dragon Valley, so he will definitely have to look for Zang Xin. In addition, he also plans to find Zhenhua along the way to customize two sets of four-word battle armor made of Tianduan metal.

Heavenly Dou City, Soul Guidance Station.

"Then I'll leave first!"

Jiang Yi waved to the group.

"Okay! Come back soon!"

Xu Xiaoyan stood at the front, her smile bright, her eyes filled with undisguised affection.

Since that night, the veil of secrecy between them has been quietly lifted, and their relationship has grown even closer over time.

Jiang Yi smiled and nodded, then turned and left.

Shortly after he left, the train started again, roaring as it sped toward Shrek City.

"Brother Ming~"

Yali sat in her seat, watching the scenery rushing past the window, but her heart grew increasingly uneasy.

There are some truths she's afraid to confront.

But the wild suspicions in her mind only made her more tormented.

Her fingers unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes, and her heartbeat became increasingly erratic as the distance between them shortened.

I hope it's not what I think.

Otherwise... otherwise how can I face you, Brother Ming!
……

Half a day later.

Arrived in Shrek City.

Ya Li didn't linger. After saying goodbye to Xu Xiaoyan and the others, she went straight to the Sea God Pavilion.

In Poseidon Pavilion.

Yun Ming had just finished reviewing a stack of documents when he looked up and saw his wife, whom he had been longing for day and night.

"Yali? You're back!"

He smiled gently, stood up, and, as usual, reached out to put his arm around his wife's waist.

The two hadn't seen each other for a year.

However, Yali turned slightly to the side, avoiding his embrace.

"Yali...what's wrong?"

Yun Ming's arm froze in mid-air, his smile frozen on his face.

The couple had been married for many years, and this was the first time his wife had rejected his advances.

Yali didn't answer, but simply raised her head and looked at him intently.

"Brother Ming, there's something I need to tell you."
