Douluo Continent: My name is Yang Jian, and I achieved sainthood through my physical body

"Come on, come shopping with me!"

Yang Jian was depressed.

Shopping again.

He loathed shopping, and every time he accompanied Hu Liena shopping, he felt more tired than fighting a tough battle.

But since it's been a long time since we last saw each other, I'll spend some time with her.

Shopping is a painful experience, both mentally and physically.

Hu Liena led him around the streets of Wuhun City, looking here and touching there.

Buy clothes, buy jewelry, buy snacks, buy all sorts of little gadgets.

Yang Jian followed behind, carrying a large pile of things, looking like a mobile clothes rack.

He had cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, and although his body wasn't tired, his mind was.

Chapter 161 Thousand Paths

Two hours later, Hu Liena finally finished her walk and, satisfied, pulled Yang Jian back to the courtyard.

She laid out the things she had bought on the table, tidying them up one by one, a satisfied smile on her face.

"Yang Jian, please don't leave again, okay?"

She suddenly looked up at Yang Jian, her eyes full of expectation.

Yang Jian shook his head.

"I will be leaving again in a few days."

Hu Liena's smile froze.

She lowered her head, bit her lip, and remained silent for a long time.

Then she gritted her teeth and plopped down on Yang Jian's lap.

Yang Jian's body stiffened slightly.

He looked at Hu Liena sitting on his lap and frowned.

What are you doing?

Hu Liena's face was as red as if it were about to bleed, but her eyes were firm.

“You always leave for months at a time. I can’t stop you, but you have to leave something behind, right?”

Her voice was soft, tinged with shyness and stubbornness.

Yang Jian looked at her, his heart as still as water.

After he mastered the Dharma of Heaven and Earth, his state of mind underwent a significant change.

He had absolutely no interest in such a temptation.

"You can speak your mind directly."

Yang Jian's tone was very calm.

Hu Liena rolled her eyes and poked his chest.

"You're such a blockhead."

Her voice carried a hint of grievance.

"Haven't you realized how I feel after all this time?"

Yang Jian remained silent for a moment.

Of course he knew.

Hu Liena has liked him for a long time.

He just kept avoiding it, not wanting to hold her back.

“There’s been a problem in my relationship with my teacher.” Yang Jian looked into Hu Liena’s eyes and said seriously, “A conflict was bound to happen sooner or later.”

"You'll be in a very difficult position if you're caught in the middle."

Hu Liena's eyes reddened.

She did not back down, wrapping her arms around Yang Jian's neck, her voice firm.

"If that day ever comes, I will definitely stand by your side."

Yang Jian looked at her and sighed inwardly.

Being love-struck is truly amazing.

Knowing full well that there's a pit of fire ahead, they still jump in.

Hu Liena couldn't care less about anything else.

She closed her eyes and kissed Yang Jian's lips.

Yang Jian did not dodge.

Not wanting to disappoint Hu Liena, he reached out and picked her up, then slowly walked up the stairs.

Hu Liena buried her head in his chest, not daring to look up. Her heart was pounding like a drum. After the impulse just now, she was now very nervous.

But soon, Hu Liena also strengthened her resolve.

No regrets!

The door to the room on the second floor was closed.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, spreading a patch of silvery-white light across the ground.

In the courtyard, the osmanthus tree swayed gently in the breeze, its petals falling and filling the air with fragrance.

Everything was quiet.

……

The next morning, Yang Jian got out of bed early.

Sunlight streamed in through the cracks in the window, drawing a golden line across the floor.

He glanced at Hu Liena beside him. She was fast asleep, her chestnut hair spread out on the pillow, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, and a smile still lingering on her lips. He wondered what sweet dreams she was having.

Yang Jian didn't wake her. He quietly got out of bed, got dressed, and left the room.

In the courtyard, the osmanthus tree swayed gently in the morning breeze, its petals falling and carpeting the ground in gold.

Yang Jian took a deep breath, sat cross-legged under the tree, and began to cultivate the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

Golden light flowed within his body, and a faint golden sheen appeared on the surface of his skin.

His breathing was steady and long, and he blended into his surroundings.

Time slips away quietly during cultivation.

The sun rose from the east to the center, and the sunlight changed from oblique to direct.

Hu Liena woke up around noon.

She walked out of the room, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and found Yang Jian in the courtyard.

She squatted down beside him, resting her chin on her hands, watching him quietly without saying a word.

Yang Jian finished his cultivation, opened his eyes, and saw Hu Liena's magnified face.

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at you," Hu Liena said with a smile that made her eyes crinkle. "I can't get enough of you."

Yang Jian was speechless. He stood up and dusted himself off.

Hu Liena stood up, took his arm, and leaned against him like a clingy kitten.

"Come with me for a walk today." Her tone wasn't one of discussion, but rather of notification.

Yang Jian nodded.

The two strolled around inside the Spirit Hall.

The flowers and trees on both sides of the bluestone road are in full bloom, red, white and purple, clusters and bunches, vying for beauty.

Sunlight spills onto the flowers, butterflies flutter among them, and bees buzz busily around.

Hu Liena was in a good mood and started humming a little tune as she walked, her voice clear and melodious.

When they reached the vicinity of the martial arts arena, they encountered Xie Yue.

Xie Yue stood under a large tree, arms crossed, eyes closed, as if contemplating life.

Hearing footsteps, he opened his eyes and saw his sister and Yang Jian.

His gaze lingered on Hu Liena's face for a moment, then he raised an eyebrow.

Hu Liena looked exceptionally well today, with a rosy complexion, bright eyes, and an irrepressible smile on her lips. She was radiant, like a blooming rose.

Xie Yue immediately saw through the deception.

He gave Yang Jian a meaningful smile and nodded.

"I have something to do, I'll be going now."

After saying that, he turned and left, his steps light and quick, seemingly in a good mood.

Hu Liena looked at her brother's back, her cheeks flushed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.

The two continued walking forward.

They had only walked a few steps when a guard emerged from the shade of a tree by the roadside and blocked their way.

"Lord Yang Jian, the Grand Master requests your presence."

Yang Jian raised an eyebrow.

Qian Daoliu wants to see him?

This is a very rare thing.
