Douluo Continent: Transmigrated into Tang San's Younger Sister and Became a God with Two Martia

Chapter 223 Accepting the Black Test

However, even when faced with such a formidable challenge, the four of them did not show the slightest intention to back down.

On the contrary, all four of them had a resolute expression on their faces and were staring straight at Tang Nian.

Dai Mubai was the first to break the silence. He said in a low voice, "Niannian, we chose to stay willingly. This trial of the Eight Sacred Pillars may not necessarily be a bad thing for us."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly in agreement, saying, "Niannian, Mu Bai is absolutely right. As the saying goes, 'A loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.' This test may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us."

Hearing this, Tang Nian was about to speak again to dissuade everyone from returning, but Haier spoke first, saying, "Inheritor, please do not worry too much about this matter. When the time comes, I will do my best to assist them. Although the test they are undergoing is to help you complete the great task of inheriting the position of the Yama God, in the end, they cannot completely replace you."

"If you trust me, I will step forward at the most critical moment when you are engaged in fierce battle with the Netherworld Serpent King, and do my best to protect them and ensure that their lives are not in danger. However, my ability is limited to these four people. As for you, as the true inheritor of the position of Yama God, you will ultimately have to face the challenge on your own. I am powerless to stop you."

Upon hearing these words, Tang Nian finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she was the one who brought everyone here, and deep down she naturally didn't want to see any of them suffer any misfortune.

Tang Nian was well aware of the Netherworld Serpent King's power, but at the same time, she also understood that Haier was a level 99 Limit Douluo, whose strength should not be underestimated.

With Haier's protection, Tang Nian firmly believed that Dai Mubai and the others would not be in a life-or-death situation.

Now that things have come to this, she can finally relax. As long as they are safe and sound, there is nothing for her to fear.

However, just as Haier's words faded, Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyebrows furrowed involuntarily. Her bright, star-like eyes stared intently at Haier, her face filled with anxiety. She asked impatiently, "Lord Haier, according to what you just said, Niannian's identity is so crucial and important. Since you already possess the strength to protect the four of us, why can't you also help Niannian? Doesn't her personal safety and well-being deserve your further concern and attention?"

Hearing Ning Rongrong's earnest question, Haier took a deep breath. His eyes became somewhat complicated as he silently looked around at everyone present before slowly saying, "This matter is not something I can completely control or decide. All I can do is save the lives of the four of you. There is nothing more I can do."

At this moment, Tang Nian, who had been standing quietly to the side, nodded slightly to show her understanding, and then said softly, "Thank you very much for your frankness, Mr. Haier. If it really comes to a critical moment, I implore you to take good care of them."

Upon hearing this, Haier immediately straightened his chest and solemnly replied, "My Lord, please rest assured. Since I have made a promise to you, I will definitely keep it. As the saying goes, a gentleman's word is as good as gold, and I will never break my promise." His voice was loud and firm, as if this oath was as unshakable as a mountain.

Tang Nian gazed quietly at the resolute-looking Haier before her, a feeling of indescribable gratitude welling up within her.

She slightly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a warm and sincere smile, and then nodded gently to indicate that she understood what he meant.

At the same time, her bright, star-like eyes revealed an undisguised deep trust and respect for Haier.

Haier looked around at everyone and then said calmly, "It's getting late, everyone should go and rest early. Tomorrow morning, Ramos will personally give you special training, so remember not to be late."

Upon hearing this, the students of Shrek Academy bowed to Hale in gratitude and said in unison, "Thank you!" Then, they followed Natasha and left the place.

Natasha led everyone to the second floor, where there was an incredibly spacious reception room.

Upon entering the space, everyone was immediately drawn to its luxurious and grand decor.

Natasha stopped and turned to everyone, saying, "You may freely choose and use any of the bedrooms on the second floor."

After a brief pause, she turned to Tang Nian, who was standing to the side, and said respectfully, "Inheritor, please follow me to the room prepared especially for you."

Tang Nian was taken aback by this. She had never expected that she wouldn't be able to live with the other students from Shrek Academy. With a slight frown, she said, "There are so many rooms on the second floor. I can just find one to rest in. You don't need to worry about it."

Natasha hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but finally sighed softly, slowly loosened her tight lips, and said, "In that case, I will do as the Inheritor says. If you need anything, just call me anytime. Well then, I will take my leave now." After saying this, Natasha bowed to Tang Nian and turned to leave.

After Natasha left, the crowd surged forward like a tide, instantly surrounding Tang Nian.

Dai Mubai spoke first, asking, "Niannian, tell us quickly, how exactly did you get to this mysterious place?"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Zhu Zhuqing, standing nearby, followed up with another question, "I couldn't sense Lord Haier's presence at all just now. Niannian, tell me honestly, just how powerful is this Lord Haier? After all, to be able to so arrogantly claim that he would protect us all from that ferocious beast that's been around for two hundred thousand years, he must be no ordinary person, right?"

At this moment, Ning Rongrong couldn't suppress her curiosity and interjected, "Yeah, Niannian, who is that Natasha who suddenly appeared and then disappeared without a trace? And I find it strange that she was a little too respectful to you compared to that Lord Haier."

It's 3:30 AM now, and I have an 8 AM high-speed train to catch to go on a trip, but I don't have any drafts saved up! I'm panicking, but my darlings, I'll try my best to keep updating daily!
