Douluo Continent: I Can Summon Heroic Spirits

Chapter 81 You Are All My Wings

Jiang Nannan, an ordinary citizen, lived in the outer city of Tiandou City.

Although the Star Tower branch was new to the area, in the eyes of the Heaven Dou authorities, it was a legitimate large-scale soul tool trading organization, so its location was naturally in a relatively prosperous area, quite a distance from her home.

However, Jiang Nannan is an agility-type Soul Master. Even without possessing a Martial Soul, her speed far surpasses that of ordinary people, and she is almost home now.

As she passed a street corner, she suddenly stopped and instinctively looked back.

The people who just brushed past me were two women and one man.

Jiang Nannan is widely recognized as the most beautiful girl in the outer department of Shrek Academy, a place teeming with handsome men and beautiful women.

She never boasted about it, but she was definitely not the kind of girl who was beautiful without realizing it. Even in Shrek City, she hadn't met many people who could rival her in looks.

But even she couldn't help but be amazed by the three people who had just walked by—a white-haired boy and two girls, one with gold hair and the other with silver hair.

These three people were in no way inferior to her in terms of appearance and demeanor.

"Who are they?" Jiang Nannan couldn't help but feel a little curious.

But the next second, she immediately shook her head, banishing the thought from her mind.

Now is not the time for gossip; taking her mother to the Star Tower headquarters for treatment is the most urgent matter! Turning her gaze away, Jiang Nannan quickened her pace again, heading home without looking back.

the other side.

Qian Renxue was holding Ye Chenxing's hand, striding forward.

Behind them, Gu Yuena followed at a leisurely pace, never leaving their side.

"Sister Xue, why are you walking so fast?!" Ye Chenxing was pulled along helplessly and gave a wry smile.

Qian Renxue stopped and turned around, her beautiful face serious: "Chenxing, an unexpected variable has appeared. Our original itinerary for Tiandou City must be revised."

Ye Chenxing understood what she meant, of course.

To put it another way: It's supposed to be a date for the two of us, so why is this Berserker shamelessly following us around?

Gu Yuena seemed not to understand Qian Renxue's pointed remark at all, tilting her head slightly and returning a gentle and harmless smile.

Ye Chenxing's eyelids twitched, and she quickly returned a polite smile that was impeccable.

-

Tired.

In his eyes, Gu Yuena now was just like the yandere heroine from a Japanese Galgame in his past life.

Despite the seemingly calm and normal situation on the surface, he always felt that if he made the wrong choice, the other party might pull out a machete at any moment.

He was trying to figure out how to ease the strange atmosphere when, in the blink of an eye, Qian Renxue had vanished.

Turning around, I saw Qian Renxue standing in front of a small stall by the roadside.

That was a common ring toss stall on the streets of Tiandou City, with all sorts of cheap ceramic dolls and trinkets displayed on the ground.

At this moment, Qian Renxue held her breath and focused intently, and in one go, she took ten bamboo rings in her hand.

With a slight flick of her wrist, all ten rings flew out at once.

Swish, swish, swish, all ten rings hit!

A gasp rippled through the surrounding crowd. The stall owner's eyes widened in astonishment.

A satisfied smile appeared on Qian Renxue's face. Ye Chenxing shook his head, both amused and exasperated, and walked over.

Seeing him approach, Qian Renxue nodded seriously and said, "Chenxing, this resource acquisition model is worth studying."

"Abandoning monetary transactions based on equivalent exchange, this training instead tests participants' eyesight, wrist strength, and spatial coordinate anchoring abilities. By mastering the kinetic trajectory of a parabola, one can obtain excessive material rewards at minimal cost—this is an extremely efficient tactical supply training!"

Ye Chenxing: "————"

Did the inventor of the ring toss game even know that?

After speaking, Qian Renxue turned her head and looked at him with bright golden eyes.

"Morning Star, which one do you want? I'll put one on for you."

Upon hearing this, the boss quickly stepped forward, rubbing his hands and offering a sheepish smile with a troubled expression.

"My esteemed Soul Master, I'm barely making ends meet—ten prizes per person is already my limit, how can you expect more?"

Ye Chenxing casually flipped through his storage soul tool and took out a small bag of gold soul coins, which he then tossed directly into the boss's arms.

"It's alright, take it, let her have some fun."

The shopkeeper hurriedly caught the money bag, weighed it briefly, and his eyes lit up instantly. He bowed even lower, exclaiming, "Oh! Thank you so much, Soul Master! You two are truly kind-hearted, a perfect match, a match made in heaven!"

Qian Renxue, who was bending over to count her spoils, froze, a slight blush rising on her beautiful face. She lowered her head and murmured softly, "We're not—"

"Boss, you've misunderstood."

A clear, gentle voice suddenly broke in. Gu Yuena had walked over at some point and very naturally reached out to take Ye Chenxing's arm.

"This is just his older sister."

"9

She maintained her smile, but the way she held Ye Chenxing's arm was a blatant declaration of ownership.

Ye Chenxing looked at her with some surprise.

The unique gentle temperament of the Goddess of Life, when combined with Gu Yuena, seems to greatly enhance her cunning and ruthless nature.

Qian Renxue blinked, then stepped forward without backing down and grabbed Ye Chenxing's other arm.

Their gazes met in front of Ye Chenxing. Although neither of them used any soul power, the invisible confrontation made the surrounding air feel tense.

At this moment, Ye Chenxing recalled a famous saying.

You are all my wings!

The next second, Qian Renxue grabbed the remaining handful of bamboo rings from the boss's hand, and without even looking at them, casually tossed them aside.

"Swish swish swish one"

The remaining bamboo rings hit their targets with unparalleled accuracy.

"Let's go, Chenxing. We're going to the next place." Qian Renxue raised her chin and pulled Ye Chenxing forward.

Gu Yuena smiled slightly, but didn't let go, and silently followed.

Only the stall owner was left standing there, frozen in the wind.

"Young people these days are getting harder and harder to understand, but—"

He bent down and untied the money pouch, looking at the gleaming gold soul coins inside, his old face beaming with joy.

Who cares! We're rich! We're rich!

On the other side, Ye Chenxing, who was sandwiched in the middle like a sandwich filling, was speechless.

The three of them walking on the streets of Tiandou City already attracted attention, but now that he was being carried around like a prisoner, it drew even more onlookers.

Fortunately, whenever Qian Renxue sees something new or interesting, she immediately goes over to take a look.

For this angel who dedicated her life to her work, everything on the street was incredibly new and fascinating.

Although I've already visited Mingdu, it's still a relatively advanced soul guide city, while Tiandou City is very retro; the two have very different styles.

While Qian Renxue loosened her grip to examine a novel object, Ye Chenxing quietly exerted force, trying to pull his arm out of Gu Yuena's embrace.

However, the moment he moved, Gu Yuena hugged him even tighter.

Moreover, Ye Chenxing could clearly feel that the soft, delicate body pressed tightly against her was trembling slightly.

"Just for a little while—okay?"

Gu Yuena didn't look at him, her voice was very low, and Ye Chenxing was vulnerable.

Ye Chenxing was slightly taken aback. They were so close that he could even feel Gu Yuena's rapidly beating heart.

This isn't right.

In his original memory, how arrogant was the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena in the original work?

At the same time, she carries an irreconcilable hatred for human gods, making it impossible for her to show such closeness and dependence to a human.

Was it the [Berserk/Love] attribute attached to her class that distorted her perception? Or was it that being the goddess of life exerted some kind of influence on her?

Ye Chenxing lowered her eyes and gave up on trying to break free.

It seems the mystery surrounding this Berserker can only be gradually revealed through future interactions.

Looking up, I saw Qian Renxue standing in front of a stall that was surrounded by a huge crowd.

The stall owner was a middle-aged man wearing a long gown, holding a folding fan in his hand, and talking animatedly.

Tang San raised the Trident of the Sea God high! Golden light burst forth from the trident mark on his forehead, forming a bridge with the Heart of the Sea God! The brilliant golden light illuminated the entire valley, and the divine aura of the Trident of the Sea God fully bloomed, enveloping Tang San and Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu's body transformed into a red phantom. Then Tang San shouted, "…!" At this point, the boss slammed his gavel and roared hoarsely to the sky, "Resurrect—! My love—!"

A burst of cheers erupted from the crowd. Seeing this, the shopkeeper skillfully pulled out a large pile of items from under his stall—all of them were wood carvings and picture books related to the Sea God Tang San and the Soft-Boned Rabbit Xiao Wu.

The audience loved it and swarmed forward to grab it, making the owner beam with joy as he collected the money.

"Boss! Can't you come up with something new? Every time we come, it's the same old story of Xiao Wu's sacrifice and resurrection, my love. I'm sick of hearing it!" someone outside the crowd started to grumble.

"Yeah, yeah, that story you told me about last time, the one about the sea god's daughter descending to earth, falling in love with an ordinary soul master, and achieving a happy ending with the sea god's help—give me more of that kind of 'cool' story!"

"That's right!"

The boss chuckled, not angry at all, and mysteriously lowered his voice: "Alright, today I'll tell you some unofficial history."

I heard that Tang San's teacher back then, the master Yu Xiaogang who was known as the invincible in theory, actually ended up with his own sister.

And their descendants even became the deans of Shrek Academy!

"off"

"What the hell, boss? This historical anecdote is way too far-fetched!"

"How could the teacher of the Sea God do such a thing!"

The crowd erupted in boos and dispersed in an instant.

The shop owner looked at the empty stall, but he wasn't annoyed. Everything around the stall had already been sold out. He chuckled and started packing up, preparing to close up shop.

Just then, a clear, cold voice rang out.

"Boss, is there anything else you want to say?"

The boss subconsciously looked up and was surprised to see the three people's faces, but he quickly realized that a big client had arrived!

The boss coughed twice and quickly put on an expression of a wise hermit: "Young lady, I do indeed have many secrets that I don't share with outsiders."

Normally I would never speak, but seeing your refined and elegant demeanor, I suppose we are destined to meet, so I'll make an exception and tell you today."

Qian Renxue looked at him quietly without saying a word.

The shopkeeper lowered his voice: "Does the young lady know that there is a top-tier reclusive sect on the continent called the Body Sect? It's a behemoth that can rival Shrek Academy! Back in the day, the Body Sect's sect leader stormed Shrek Academy and engaged in an earth-shattering battle with the then-Lord of the Sea God Pavilion!"

"The battle was so fierce it was earth-shattering! The Sea God Pavilion Master was about to be defeated, and at that critical moment, the golden tree in the Sea God Pavilion manifested its power! The golden tree descended with divine light, protecting the Pavilion Master and thus killing the Body Sect Master."

"But!" The boss changed the subject, carefully taking out a palm-sized, golden piece of bark from his pocket. "That battle was so brutal that a piece of bark was torn off the Golden Tree! To tell you the truth, my ancestor was a Shrek Academy disciple in that generation. He risked his life to find this piece of bark and has kept it as a family heirloom to this day."

The shopkeeper shoved the piece of golden bark forward, his eyes gleaming with fervor: "Today I see this is destined for you, young lady! This item isn't worth 98,000, not 9,800, but only 998! You heard me right, only 998 gold soul coins, and this piece of bark imbued with the divine power of the golden tree is yours!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Chenxing's eyes as she stood to the side.

To be honest, the boss's story was actually quite believable. The former sect leader of the Body Sect, Du Bisi, fought against Mu En of the Sea God Pavilion, and he actually got to face him.

Qian Renxue stared at the piece of bark and shook her head seriously.

"wrong."

"I have seen the Golden Tree. Its essence contains an extremely vast amount of life and light energy. Even a piece of fallen bark contains far more residual energy than the one you have in your hand."

The shopkeeper was taken aback: "Miss, this is—"

"Furthermore," Qian Renxue interrupted him, analyzing seriously, "although I don't know the specifics of the great battle you mentioned, its aura shouldn't be so faint."

"So, this is just a piece of ordinary elm bark that has been painted with gold paint."

The boss's smile froze completely, turning pale and then red.

"Ahem—I grabbed the wrong one just now!" The shopkeeper forced a smile and pulled out another bunch from the bottom of the box. "Take a look at this! This is a Spirit Hall token from ten thousand years ago, supposedly passed down from Grandmaster! And this one, supposedly a dragon scale that fell from the body of a hidden Soul Beast King in the Star Dou Great Forest, whose cultivation had exceeded one million years!"

Qian Renxue picked up each item, examined them carefully, and then rejected them one by one.

"New."

"Brand new".

"Undisputedly new."

The boss was sweating profusely and retreating step by step after being rebuked.

Finally, he slapped his thigh and said through gritted teeth, "Fine! You know your stuff! Looks like I won't be able to hold my own today unless I bring out my trump card!"
