Douluo Continent: A Sister Who Loves Me From the Start

"Yu Mo, what are you saying? Who likes him! He's just deluding himself." Jiang Nannan said angrily, pouting. On the surface, she seemed to be blaming Shen Yu Mo, but in her heart, she felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey. It felt so good to be protected.

Jiang Nannan no longer possessed the gentle and graceful demeanor she had when she first appeared. Now, she had transformed into a spoiled little girl, her heart filled with joy and delight for this young man.

Shen Yumo gave a helpless smirk. Was this still the Jiang Nannan he remembered? Sure enough, a girl's heart holds the souls of two people.

"I'll be going now! Remember what you said, I'll be very punctual."

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Nannan had already walked far away, still waving her little hand at Shen Yumo, a charming smile always on her lips.

"Okay! I'll wait for you!" Shen Yumo watched the beautiful figure walk into the campus, shaking his head helplessly. Today, this girl had finally revealed his true face.

The image I had painstakingly built collapsed in an instant...

Huo Yuhao was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. Was this really Brother Shen? In his memory, Shen Yumo had always been a handsome man who was calm and composed, and he had never seen him smile since their first meeting.

This has happened several times today... But... I have to say, Brother Shen is really strong. He even knocked down the senior students. He's amazing!

Tang Ya's performance was absolutely superb; she could practically stuff an egg into her mouth...

Is this Jiang Nannan? In her memory, Jiang Nannan had always been a gentle and graceful woman, like a lady from a respectable family. She was a goddess in the hearts of some students, sacred and inviolable. But just now, Tang Ya had witnessed Jiang Nannan's girlish side...

Is that really her?

"Sister Tang... Sister Tang Ya, guess what I saw?! Brother Shen is like a completely different person! Oh my god!" Even the usually well-behaved Huo Yuhao couldn't help but swear, wishing he could sprout wings and tell everyone the news.

"Yes!" Tang Ya nodded in agreement, then shook her head sadly...

……

Chapter 48 Fanatical Believers

“Yes!” Tang Ya nodded in agreement, then shook her head sadly, “I can feel the scent of dog food… and what I saw was quite a surprise…”

"Sister Tang Ya, you don't know, Brother Shen is a completely different person than he is now. I can't believe that the domineering and handsome Brother Shen can also show such a doting side!"

Tang Ya couldn't help but chuckle at his obedient appearance, saying, "What you saw isn't as impactful as what I saw! Fine, I'll tell you. Jiang Nannan is known as the number one beauty in the outer academy. She comes from a commoner family, is kind, and has quite a few admirers in the academy. Do you think she's prettier than me?" Tang Ya gave the pitiful Huo Yuhao a dangerous look.

Huo Yuhao felt uneasy under Tang Ya's gaze. "Yes, that...that's definitely because my sister Tang Ya is prettier!" While lying through his teeth, he was also sweating bullets inside. Goodness, he might just die on the spot.

Poor Huo Yuhao was forced into this situation...

What are you talking about?

Shen Yumo walked calmly toward the two of them, feeling it was necessary to talk to Huo Yuhao in an attempt to salvage her image.

"N-nothing..." Huo Yuhao looked at the people coming. Good heavens, he was caught between a rock and a hard place. Couldn't they just let him grill the fish in peace? Oh right, the fish is done grilling, but that's no excuse for you to bully an honest man like me!

Tang Ya also noticed this boy. She had met him once when she took Xiao Yuhao to register. He was indeed the genius the registration teacher had mentioned. He was level 38 at the age of ten and was probably level 39 now. She knew Xu Sanshi's strength, but he was still injured in the palm by Shen Yumo. This showed how powerful this guy was!

However, my Tang Clan needs such talent! Thinking of this, Tang Ya's gaze became extremely ardent, as if she were looking at a beautiful woman who had taken off her clothes.

Because Tang Ya arrived later, she didn't see how Xu Sanshi was injured; otherwise, she would definitely have marveled at how fast he was. Shen Yumo exclaimed: Good heavens, this is ridiculous!

Shen Yumo walked calmly toward Huo Yuhao, and also noticed Tang Ya standing to the side. Tang Ya had delicate features, and her natural black hair was draped over her shoulders, adorned with a bow. She looked very pretty.

I couldn't help but admire Beibei's good taste.

"Brother Shen, please sit down. Thanks to you today, otherwise I would have been bullied." Huo Yuhao recalled the thrilling scene from before. How could he, a mere one-ring Soul Master, have dodged that swift hand? If he had been lifted up like a chick on the spot, he would have been utterly humiliated.

Fortunately, Brother Shen arrived early and blocked the hand for him.

Looking back, it was still incredibly thrilling, and at the same time, I am sincerely grateful to Shen Yumo.

"No, I'm going to eat later. I have things to do after I eat. I just happened to be passing by today because I couldn't stand what the senior students were doing." The blue-haired boy said calmly. When he looked at Huo Yuhao, a hint of coldness flashed in his sky-blue eyes, and the sorrow between his brows added a touch of mystery to the boy.

"Oh, oh," Huo Yuhao replied naively, "Aww!"

Suddenly, a howl rang out, causing Huo Yuhao to wince in pain. He turned his head and saw that Tang Ya was constantly gesturing to him with her eyes, her eyeballs twitching vigorously in one direction.

"Oh? Oh right!" After understanding Tang Ya's meaning, Huo Yuhao suddenly realized and turned to Shen Yumo, "Brother Shen, don't leave yet, let me introduce you to someone, Tang Ya, the leader of the Tang Clan! And I am also a disciple of the Tang Clan!" He looked somewhat proud, as if there was an invisible bond when he talked about the Tang Clan.

However, he didn't notice the blue-haired boy's expression. He still looked at Huo Yuhao with an indifferent expression, as if the legendary Tang Clan was not important to him at all.

However, Tang Ya still had to be given face, so she tried her best to look surprised. In fact, she was also very surprised. The Tang Clan had really declined to the extreme. Not to mention that Tang Ya was the sect leader, the Tang Clan would accept almost anyone they met, except for those with bad character.

Let's be realistic. Humans are creatures that pursue interests. If you can't give me what I want but expect me to help you regain your former glory, I probably wouldn't do that to someone I've only known for a short time.

"Is that the legendary Tang Clan? Isn't it in decline?" Shen Yumo changed the subject, a slight smile appearing on her fair face, but she was secretly watching Tang Ya's reaction.

"This..." Huo Yuhao hissed with a headache, smacked his lips and was about to explain when Tang Ya stopped him.

"Yuhao, there's no need to say anything more..."

Huo Yuhao turned his head in surprise, only to see that her expression was somber, her eyes were dull and colorless, and her tone was like that of an old man withered and dying.

"The Tang Clan has declined. This era has abandoned the Tang Clan. As the current leader of the Tang Clan, I can see the current state of the Tang Clan in myself. Since he doesn't want to join the Tang Clan... then forget it, there's no need for that..." Her tone turned cold.

Although the Tang Clan has declined, it still exists in her heart. She will not allow anyone to look down on the Tang Clan or speak ill of it. One day she will prove to everyone that the Tang Clan is still here!

"This...I...Sister Xiaoya..." Huo Yuhao was also moved by the tragic aura emanating from Tang Ya, and a sudden wave of sorrow welled up within him.

"Uh..." Shen Yumo felt he had gone a bit too far. After all, the other party was just a girl full of passion. His words were a bit harsh. Speaking ill of someone to their face was something only a scumbag like himself would say...

Huh? I'm not a scumbag...

"Alright, to be honest, the Tang Clan still has a bright future. It may not completely decline by your generation. People are bound to go with the flow and become stronger with each battle. This applies to people and sects alike."

Shen Yumo was like a wise teacher enlightening people's minds, explaining the inherent truths again and again. The previous mockery was gone from her face, replaced only by empathetic compassion.

Tang Ya listened to the words of the boy, who was much younger than her, pondering his words over and over again. Suddenly, she looked up, startling Shen Yumo, who thought she had come back to life...

But they found that Tang Ya's face was filled with confusion, yet her eyes shone with an unparalleled confidence. Her confusion stemmed from not knowing how to strengthen the Tang Clan, while her confidence came from her own powerful conviction that she could revive the Tang Clan!

"Going with the flow, what a fine way to go with the flow! But there's a saying that you should at least stand firm. I don't know how to do that!" Tang Ya's eyes were burning.

Her gaze toward the boy was filled with curiosity; she believed that he would surely find a way to guide her out of her confusion!

……

Chapter 49 Have you eaten yet?

Her gaze toward the boy was filled with curiosity; she believed that he would surely find a way to guide her out of her confusion!

"This..." Shen Yumo took a few steps back with a hint of fear. He couldn't help it; it wasn't that he was a coward, but her gaze was just too intense, like that of a fanatical believer. He might end up bleeding on the spot if he wasn't careful.

"Hey, Brother Shen, stop keeping me in suspense! Tell Sister Tang Ya all you want to say." Huo Yuhao, who was standing to the side, naturally saw Tang Ya's predicament and asked anxiously, just as he did.

"Well, I wouldn't presume to say that my ideas are necessarily right. I just hope you understand the general idea." Shen Yumo straightened her clothes for a moment, met Tang Ya's gaze, and said slowly after a while, "As I said before, it's true that we should follow the crowd, but what's more important is to keep up with the times. As times develop, the things that humans create are improving step by step."

"Sticking to old ways will eventually lead to elimination. Take the Tang Clan for example. I can imagine how glorious the Tang Clan was at its peak, but now I have truly witnessed its decline. In the final analysis, it all boils down to three words: not knowing how to reform!"

"Huh? Brother Shen, these five words?" Huo Yuhao scratched his head in confusion.

"Don't interrupt!" Tang Ya was listening intently and was naturally annoyed by being suddenly interrupted, so she gave Huo Yuhao a flick on the forehead.

Shen Yumo smiled inwardly. This Huo Yuhao was too innocent; he really was still a child.

"It's alright, let's get back to the point. I think the reason why the Tang Clan declined is that it was replaced by something better than hidden weapons! You all know that without me having to say it."

"Soul tools!" Tang Ya's eyes turned angry. How could she not have thought of the advantages of soul tools? But she only knew how to compare and fantasize that hidden weapons could one day surpass soul tools again. But now she understands that items are things that are born and developed by the times. How can they be eliminated so easily?

“It’s a soul tool.” Shen Yumo smiled nonchalantly. “Soul tools are more durable, cheaper, and more efficient than hidden weapons. They can also be recycled. While hidden weapons can sometimes achieve these things, their power and other aspects are not as impressive. I think you can combine the strengths of hidden weapons with those of soul tools, getting two for one. The effect would naturally be good. But this is just my personal opinion. I think anyone could think of this, except for you Tang Sect members…”

Shen Yumo's lips curled into a charming smile again. Who doesn't understand such a simple truth? It's just that those involved are often blinded by their own perspective, while bystanders see things clearly. If they are unwilling to acknowledge the other party's strengths or emulate them, then they are destined to be replaced.

"Yes... except for those of us in the Tang Clan." Tang Ya gave a few bitter laughs, revealing a tragic and beautiful smile. How many people know the hardships she has endured? She should have known these truths, but she has always been unwilling to admit them, and over time she has come to believe that this is how it is.

"Thank you." Tang Ya looked at Shen Yumo gratefully, her clear eyes revealing a hint of relief.

"Hehe... No need to thank me. I can also tell you a secret: the biggest help you made to the rise of the Tang Clan was that young man next to you! You really should thank him, but now is not the time. Remember, if the Tang Clan ever rises again, remember to save a place for me..." He added in his mind, "If we become enemies, I will not be merciful."

"it is good!"

When Tang Ya looked up, she found that there was no one in front of her. The boy's lingering voice still echoed in her ears, reminding her again and again.

"Sister Xiaoya, Brother Shen's greatest ability is speed. Did you see how fast he was just now? He was so fast, I didn't even see a shadow of him." Huo Yuhao looked around, trying to find Shen Yumo's figure, but Brother Shen's figure was so fast that he couldn't catch up with him.

Tang Ya took a deep breath. This young man gave her a feeling of oppression. He was indeed a powerful person. He was only a first-year student, but he put immense pressure on her. After all, his cultivation level was there. It seemed that the new student assessment was going to be exciting.

But did he really understand what he was saying? Young man? Looking around, there's only this one-ring Soul Master kid beside him…

"Sister Tang Ya, what... what's wrong with your eyes?" Huo Yuhao stepped back in fear. Tang Ya's gaze was like that of someone looking at a delicious grilled fish, as if she was about to grill him.

"Sister Tang Ya, please don't do this!"

"Come, let me see!"

……

Shen Yumo just didn't hear what Brother Jie said about being famous, otherwise she would definitely have exclaimed how professional he was!

With the afternoon's performance over, the school day was finally over. It was supposed to be the end of the school day, but it had been ruined by several incidents. It was really troublesome. Shen Yumo also felt that this was not good and that she would definitely finish earlier next time.

Shrek City is just as lively at night, practically operating 24/7. The profits from this not only belong to the merchants but also to Shrek Academy's tax revenue, making it truly deserving of the title of the richest academy on the continent.

The meal cost over ten gold soul coins, and the cafeteria lady was all smiles, while Shen Yumo simply wiped her mouth and thought, "Wow, the soul beast meat is really delicious!" Everyone got what they wanted, which was great.

After finishing her meal, Shen Yumo leisurely made her way towards the Sea God Lake.

On the way, they even encountered an older student who dared to verbally provoke them, pointing at them and saying, "Look, that guy up ahead is the first-year student who injured Xu Sanshi!"

However, Shen Yumo's ears were very sharp. After a wicked laugh, she stopped in her tracks. "You want to dance with Sanshi too? Come over here and get a beating!"

"I won't do it again, I won't do it again! Let's go, let's go!"

"Hehe." Shen Yumo smiled as she watched their retreating figures, confident that his deeds would soon be circulating throughout the academy.

He left calmly, but when he arrived at the Sea God Lake, he didn't see Jiang Nannan's stunning figure. It seemed he had arrived too early.

The last thing I whispered to Jiang Nannan today was, "Come to Haishen Lake tonight, I'll show you some good stuff." Jiang Nannan's ears turned bright red instantly.

Shen Yumo thoughtfully prepared some nice things for Jiang Nannan: gold soul coins and soul bones. She believed that Jiang Nannan would be very happy to see these.

Several couples were entwined by Poseidon Lake, seemingly admiring the beautiful night view of the lake, but their minds were elsewhere.

Just look at the groping hand on the girl's waist and you'll understand. But everything is based on mutual consent, that's the way it is.

"Yu Mo".

Just as Shen Yumo was gazing at the lake in a daze, a beautiful, gentle voice drifted over.

It was obvious who it was, even to a fool. The young man whispered, "Nannan..."

"have you eaten?"
