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

It was very light and quick, like a petal falling on the skin.

He turned his head and saw that Hu Liena had already taken two steps back.

At this moment, Hu Liena covered her face, her cheeks were so red that they looked like they were about to bleed, and she looked at the ground, not daring to look up at him.

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

After saying that, she turned and ran.

He ran a few steps, then stopped, glanced back at him, and continued running, disappearing into the distance at the end of the road.

Yang Jian stood there, touched the half of his face that had been kissed, and showed a helpless expression.

He turned and walked towards the courtyard.

When I entered the courtyard, I saw Xiao Wu squatting next to the flower bed, pulling weeds from the soil.

Yang Jian walked over and looked down at her.

"Oh, are you getting ready to eat grass?"

Xiao Wu's hand trembled, and the grass she had pulled out fell to the ground.

She stood up awkwardly, wiped her hands on her clothes, lowered her head, and dared not look at Yang Jian.

She was indeed hungry.

She didn't go to the cafeteria at noon, and Yang Jian didn't give her anything to eat either. She was so hungry that she wanted to find some wild vegetables or something to fill her stomach.

Now that Yang Jian had seen through her, she was so ashamed that she wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.

Yang Jian did not continue to mock her.

He walked into the small building, glanced at Ning Rongrong sitting in the corner looking utterly hopeless, and went straight up to the second floor without stopping.

He walked to Zhu Zhuqing's room and knocked on the door.

"Dinner's ready."

The door was quickly opened, and Zhu Zhuqing stood behind it, dressed in a black outfit, her long hair tied back, looking neat and tidy.

But the expression on his face was off; his lips were pursed, his eyes were evasive, and he looked depressed.

She glanced at Yang Jian, gave a soft "oh," and walked out to stand beside him.

Yang Jian noticed her unusual behavior and frowned slightly.

"what happened?"

Zhu Zhuqing wasn't one to hide things, so after a couple of seconds of silence, she asked directly, "Who was that woman this morning?"

Yang Jian suddenly realized, smiled, and explained, "Her name is Hu Liena, she's my senior and a good friend."

Zhu Zhuqing's brows remained furrowed.

She recalled the intimate and natural way Hu Liena had linked arms with Yang Jian that morning.

I still feel uneasy.

"Are you really just good friends?"

Yang Jian thought for a moment and felt there was no need to lie to her. "At least for now. I'm not so sure about the future. Maybe we can go even further."

Zhu Zhuqing certainly understood.

Her expression changed slightly, and she felt a mix of emotions.

It tasted sour, astringent, and tinged with an inexplicable sense of grievance.

But looking at Yang Jian's calm face, he seemed to be thinking of something and finally sighed.

"Alright, I am indeed very lonely by myself anyway, so having a sister to keep me company is a good thing."

Yang Jian raised an eyebrow and smiled.

He thought it would take some effort to deal with the jealous Zhu Zhuqing.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhuqing figured it out herself.

Yes, he likes women who understand the bigger picture.

He smiled, bent down, and swept Zhu Zhuqing up in his arms.

Zhu Zhuqing shuddered and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

What are you doing?

Yang Jian leaned close to her ear, his lips brushing against her ear, and whispered two words.

Zhu Zhuqing froze instantly, her heart pounding like a drum, her cheeks burning slightly. She lowered her head and buried her face in Yang Jian's shoulder, without struggling or saying a word.

Yang Jian laughed loudly and carried Zhu Zhuqing into the bedroom.

……

Yang Jian had a very fulfilling few days.

During the day, he guided Zhu Zhuqing in cultivating the Two Nine Mysterious Techniques, correcting her posture, adjusting her breathing, and helping her to organize the flow of her soul power.

Zhu Zhuqing practiced very diligently and made rapid progress. Her physical strength was steadily improving, and although her soul power had not broken through, her foundation had become more solid.

In his spare time, he would go to see Hu Liena.

The two spent time together, sometimes chatting, sometimes taking walks in the Spirit Hall, and sometimes doing nothing but sitting by the lake and enjoying the scenery.

Hu Liena stopped mentioning shopping and simply stayed quietly by Yang Jian's side, occasionally saying a few words and smiling, which was enough for her.

In the evening, Yang Jian continued to guide Zhu Zhuqing in her cultivation.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Strangely, Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena didn't meet even once during this period.

Sometimes, when Yang Jiangang and Hu Liena parted ways, he would return to the courtyard and find Zhu Zhuqing waiting for him.

Sometimes, just as he and Zhu Zhuqing came out of their room, Hu Liena would come looking for him.

The two of them seemed to have agreed beforehand, taking turns appearing in his time without ever overlapping.

As for Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, Yang Jian certainly wouldn't let them starve to death. He would give them a few steamed buns every one or two days, enough to keep them alive and prevent them from starving.

But for some reason, the way they looked at me became increasingly strange, with something inexplicable and hard to explain.

Yang Jian noticed it, but didn't take it to heart.

He believes that the education he received during this period was effective.

That day, Yang Jian woke up early in bed.

I got dressed and left the room.

Downstairs, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were still sleeping on the floor. They were curled up in a corner, covered with a thin blanket, and breathing evenly.

Without hesitation, Yang Jian woke the two of them up, then walked out of the courtyard and waited at the door for a while.

Zhu Zhuqing arrived quickly, her long hair tied back, looking energetic.

"Let's go."

Yang Jian strode towards the gate of the Spirit Hall.

He didn't tell anyone he was leaving today, not even Hu Liena.

His main concern was that Hu Liena would ask to come with him if she found out.

Although he is strong enough to protect Hu Liena from harm, given her jealous nature, she would definitely throw a tantrum if she saw him frequently interacting with Zhu Zhuqing along the way.

He'll be caught in the middle, torn between two options.

So, after thinking about it, he decided it was best not to bring Hu Liena along.

Let's leave it at that for now. We'll arrange for Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena to meet and get to know each other when the time is right, and see what Hu Liena has to say.

……

There weren't many pedestrians on the streets of Wuhun City yet.

Only a few early-rising vendors were setting up their stalls, and some merchants on their way were tidying up their goods; the air was filled with the unique fresh scent of the early morning.

Yang Jian walked slowly, lost in thought as he went.

He was thinking about where to go next.

Finally, Yang Jian decided to deal with the four single-attribute families first.

The Power Clan, the Defense Clan, the Agility Clan, and the Destruction Clan—while not top-tier powers, together they form a force to be reckoned with.

In the original novel, Tang San subdued these four major families and became the backbone of the Tang Sect.

If we had dealt with the four major families in advance.

That would be equivalent to cutting off one of Tang San's arms.

As for the possibility of subjugating them.

It shouldn't be too big.

Titan, the patriarch of the Power Clan, is a staunch loyalist of Tang Hao and has absolutely no chance of surrendering.

The other three major families have a blood feud with the Spirit Hall, so the possibility of them submitting is very small.

However, none of this mattered to him.

If they don't submit, just destroy them.

We can't just wait for them to submit to Tang San later.

Chapter 82 Next Stop, Heaven Dou City

After thinking for a moment, Yang Jian decided to go to Tiandou City to find the Power Clan first, and also to see Qian Renxue.

He didn't have any particular thoughts about Qian Renxue; he simply felt that Qian Renxue was destined to become a god in the future, and that it would be very beneficial to win her over during this period.

"Next stop, Tiandou City." Yang Jian turned to Zhu Zhuqing beside him. "Do you want to fly there directly, or take a carriage?"

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated slightly.
