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

Chapter 248 Meeting

Normally, the death of a tribal leader should evoke grief and mourning among the members, but these Nether Serpents are so indifferent and heartless.

It is evident that this Netherworld Serpent King probably never performed any good deeds during his lifetime, and may even have committed numerous evils, being cruel and inhumane, to the point that his people had no feelings for him whatsoever.

Perhaps it is precisely because of its numerous misdeeds that it has ended up in such a desolate state of being ignored by everyone.

Tang Nian looked at the scene before her, and her feelings were somewhat complicated.

However, since the first test was already over, there was no need for her to stay there any longer.

Tang Nian slowly turned her head, her gaze falling on Shi Ye beside her, and then she nodded gently.

At this moment, only she could hear the voice announcing that the first test of Yama had been passed. Surprisingly, Shi Ye seemed to be very familiar with the process and understood the meaning behind Tang Nian's action almost instantly.

Therefore, the two tacitly avoided casting even a single extra glance at the swarm of snakes of the Netherworld Serpent Clan, and instead turned and left side by side.

Although she only passed the first test, it felt like a huge burden had been lifted off Tang Nian's shoulders.

A feeling of relief washed over her, making her look much more relaxed, and her tense nerves gradually relaxed.

A faint smile appeared on her lips as she said softly, "They must be worried sick. Let's go find them and let them know we're safe before continuing with the second test."

Upon hearing Tang Nian's suggestion, Shi Ye smiled and nodded in agreement. His handsome face was full of doting affection as he gently replied, "Okay, whatever Tang Nian says."

In fact, there was no need for Tang Nian to personally go and report that she was safe, because from the very beginning, Dai Mubai and the others had been tasked with assisting Tang Nian in successfully completing the first test and working together to kill the Netherworld Serpent King.

Just as Tang Nian successfully completed the first test, that mysterious and solemn voice also rang in the minds of each of them.

However, unlike the reward Tang Nian received, they each had their own unique reward.

At that very moment, everyone received some incredibly exciting news: Tang Nian had successfully broken through the first barrier.

This news was like a spring breeze, instantly dispelling the gloom and worries that had lingered in everyone's hearts for days.

Their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, could finally relax a little.

As long as Tang Nian is still alive and well, that's enough; everything else seems less important.

When Tang Nian returned safely to the castle, Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dai Mubai immediately rushed forward like arrows and quickly surrounded Tang Nian.

Their gazes were urgent and concerned as they looked Tang Nian up and down, as if afraid of missing any possible spot where she might be injured.

Ma Hongjun let out a long sigh of relief, a relieved smile spreading across his face. "Oh dear, thank goodness, no one's missing an arm or a leg. Niannian, you really scared us half to death. My heart was pounding in my chest just now."

Ning Rongrong nodded repeatedly in agreement with Ma Hongjun's words, and then said, "That's right, we were really worried that you would also become nourishment for the Netherworld Serpent King."

Hearing everyone's concern for her, Tang Nian couldn't help but find it amusing, while a warm feeling welled up inside her. She smiled at everyone and explained in a relaxed tone, "Actually, although that Netherworld Serpent King has a powerful ability to devour, from what I've observed, it seems to have a certain time limit. So before it could unleash its skill, I seized the opportunity, preemptively disemboweled it, and then took the chance to escape."

After listening to Tang Nian's story, Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "That's good. The Netherworld Serpent King committed many evils, and now that he's dead, it's a fitting end."

Just as everyone was crowding around Tang Nian, bombarding her with questions, Shi Ye stood quietly to the side like a silent statue.

However, in stark contrast to his outward composure, his gaze remained fixed on Tang Nian the entire time, as if she were the center of the world.

The emotions contained in those eyes might be difficult for others to understand, but Dai Mubai saw them clearly and distinctly.

Because he understood that feeling; whenever he saw Zhu Zhuqing, it was exactly the same look he had when Shi Ye looked at Tang Nianshi now.

Dai Mubai's gaze paused for a moment, eventually shifting back and forth between Tang Nian and Shi Ye.

Although Tang Nian and Tang San are siblings born of the same mother, and Tang Nian was born only slightly later than Tang San.

Strangely enough, Dai Mubai treated Tang San like a brother, but he always treated Tang Nian as a younger sister who was much younger than them.

At this moment, looking at the graceful Tang Nian, Dai Mubai couldn't help but feel a surge of pride, as if a daughter of his family had grown up.

Although Shi Ye is exceptionally strong and not to be underestimated, Tang San is not here at the moment.

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

Therefore, Dai Mubai secretly made up his mind to keep a close eye on this kid for his good brother Tang San, in order to prevent him from having bad intentions and deceiving Tang Nian.

After all, people's hearts are hard to fathom, and who can guarantee that this seemingly outstanding man is necessarily a virtuous gentleman?

Shi Ye was exceptionally perceptive of his surroundings. Almost the instant Dai Mubai turned his attention to him, he had already sensed something was amiss.

With his innate insight, Shi Ye instantly understood the deeper meaning behind Dai Mubai's actions.

However, Shi Ye did not take these things to heart. He knew that the Shrek Academy members' concern for Tang Nian came from the bottom of their hearts. This sincerity was exactly the same as his own thoughts. As long as everything was for Tang Nian's good, nothing else mattered.

Just then, Tang Nian asked softly, "Have you received any messages about helping me pass the second exam?"

Upon hearing the voice, everyone exchanged glances, but ultimately shook their heads in unison. The mysterious voice had only informed them that the first test had been successfully completed, but had not mentioned the second test at all, so they knew nothing about it.

Tang Nian nodded slightly to show her understanding, then lowered her voice and said, "It seems that I will have to face and complete this second test alone."

Tang Nian pondered to herself that it seemed she would have to rely on herself for everything this time.
