Douluo Continent: A Sister Who Loves Me From the Start

"Narcissistic!" Jiang Nannan rolled her eyes.

Just then.

"Chen Yumo!"

Shen Yumo froze, almost crying inside. Who the hell is this? When will this ever end?

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Nannan pulled him back, signaling him to take it seriously. Shen Yumo turned his head away helplessly.

Turning my head, I saw a round, bald, black head, with a strong, muscular physique hidden under his clothes. He looked very powerful, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a somewhat simple-minded appearance.

He Caitou came running over, panting.

Shen Yumo thought to herself, "I don't know He Caitou at all. What does he want?"

"Shen Yumo, we know each other before. My name is He Caitou, everyone calls me Caitou. I'm a student in the Soul Guidance Department." He Caitou ran up to the two of them as if they were old friends, scratched his head, and didn't seem to understand the social awkwardness at all.

"Uh..." Shen Yumo looked He Caitou, who had dark skin, up and down, and couldn't help but shudder when she thought of how this guy was a human fortress. Guns and cannons were nothing to him.

Jiang Nannan nudged him again, and Shen Yumo let out a long "Oh!" and politely replied with a smile, "Brother Caitou, what's the matter?" But in his heart he was thinking, "What's the big deal? Don't just make friends with people randomly."

"Caitou, is there anything we can do to help you?" Jiang Nannan asked, clearly having known him before.

"I... I don't have anything serious to do, but this matter is very important to me, so I have no choice but to ask you for help." As he spoke, a simple smile appeared on his face, and a fleeting look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Shen Yumo keenly grasped this crucial information and, out of goodwill, still offered a warm smile. "Brother Caitou, don't be shy. We'll be fighting side by side in the future, so I'll definitely help if I can! I don't have much, but my strength is enough to make me look presentable." Shen Yumo's guess about his strength was pretty accurate.

At this moment, He Caitou slowly raised his head, his expression filled with immense sorrow.

Looking up at the sky, the honest look on his face gradually changed into a solemn one. The bewilderment in his eyes also gradually disappeared, and a profoundness that no one had ever seen before slowly appeared.

At this moment, he had completely transformed into someone else. His demeanor had changed so drastically that Jiang Nannan, who knew him before, could hardly recognize him.

Jiang Nannan instinctively took a step back, her face full of surprise. "Caitou, you...."

When He Caitou looked at Shen Yumo again, there seemed to be something else in his eyes besides their profundity.

"Yu Mo, do you know how much I envy your talent? If I had the same talent as you, I would definitely work hard to get everything I deserve. But I can't. Even if I try my best, I'm still limited by my talent. My greatest achievement in the future will be at most on par with our teacher. But you are different. You have an extreme martial soul, your soul ring configuration is already beyond the standard, and your talent is the best I've ever seen. Your future is limitless. Even in a place like Shrek Academy, your brilliance can still shine through everything."

Hearing his words, Shen Yumo couldn't help but feel a little confused. "Senior, what exactly are you trying to say?" But he was secretly pleased. He also needed recognition from others, and he was happy to receive it.

He Lai's face showed a hint of bitterness. "Do you know that in our Soul Guidance Department, there has always been a plan called Extreme Individual Soldier?"

"Ultimate individual soldier?" Shen Yumo asked in surprise. He knew about this; Elder Xuan had wanted him to study the Soul Guidance System a while ago, but Shen Yumo had righteously refused, as he simply didn't have time to work on Soul Guidance Devices anymore.

He Caitou nodded and said, "This is also one of the most important plans of our Soul Guidance Department. It was created to enable us to rival the Soul Guidance Masters of the Sun Moon Empire."

"The term 'ultimate individual soldier' ​​refers to someone who can change the outcome of a local war single-handedly. A person with this ability is an ultimate individual soldier."

Chapter 151 The Past of He Caitou

Perhaps they're thinking, "He Caitou is a member of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family! That does conflict with his current identity. But he seems to have a deep grudge, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Shrek Academy."

Shen Yumo said in a deep voice, "A titled Douluo-level expert should be able to do that, right? What does this have to do with the Soul Guidance System?"

He Caitou shook his head and said, "No, a Title Douluo-level expert might be able to change the course of a battlefield, but in a sufficiently large war, it's impossible to turn the tide. Doesn't the enemy have experts of that level? But an Ultimate Soldier is different. An Ultimate Soldier exists for war. Not only are they individually powerful, but they are also skilled in using and creating various soul tools. They are adept at concealment, infiltration, and sabotage, and can keenly find the key points of a war to disrupt or assist."

An ultimate solo soldier isn't a commander, but rather an artist capable of changing the course of a war. A titled Douluo is merely powerful individually, but their impact in a war is far less significant than that of an ultimate solo soldier. Originally, I was striving in that direction.

The teacher always saw me as the one to carry out this plan. But since you came, everything has changed. You are much more talented than me, ever since you became the subject of the Extreme Individual Challenge.

My teacher just informed me yesterday that I will no longer be trained as an extreme solo soldier, but will instead appear as your support soldier. If you are the future extreme solo soldier, then I am your mobile arsenal.

He also gradually showed a certain talent in the creation of soul tools. However, deep in my heart, there lies a deep-seated hatred. He Caitou looked sad and spoke frankly, saying that Shen Yumo had better talent than him and was more suitable as a candidate for extreme solo combat. In terms of stealth, assassination, and so on, he believed that no one could be more suitable than Shen Yumo.

"Senior He, although I am also a candidate for the Ultimate Individual Soldier, I will not learn Soul Guidance Devices because my time does not allow it. I have more things waiting for me to do. But you have been engaged in Soul Guidance for many years. I believe that no one among your peers can compare to you. So don't give up. You are the most important link in the Ultimate Individual Soldier!" With that, Shen Yumo patted He Caitou's strong shoulder to encourage him.

What he said made sense. The best student in the Soul Guidance Department was He Caitou. Although Huo Yuhao also had talent, it wasn't at the moment. At least He Caitou could meet the entry requirements of the Soul Guidance Department, while Huo Yuhao, although chosen as the ultimate individual soldier, looked down on him...

Indeed, if one wants to stand at the pinnacle of the continent, or even the higher realm of gods, soul tools can only bring a small benefit. In the end, one still has to rely on one's own strength. Besides, Shen Yumo doesn't have the energy to learn how to use soul tools.

He Caitou managed a weak smile, and because of Jiang Nannan's presence, he managed to suppress his sadness somewhat.

“Yu Mo, there’s no need to comfort me like that. Even if I have to assist you in the future, it’s all worth it. But I am a member of the Sun Moon Empire. Logically, I shouldn’t be against the Sun Moon Empire, but I have my reasons. I must consider it my enemy! Only the Sun Moon Empire would have someone with my dark skin. I am a member of the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire, the nephew of the current emperor.”

"Huh?" This time it was Jiang Nannan's turn to be taken aback. She never expected that He Caitou, the honest and simple senior brother she had known for so long, would have such an extraordinary background. For a moment, she was so shocked that she stared in disbelief.

Shen Yumo appeared very serious, as things seemed far more complicated than she had imagined. Although He Caitou came from the Sun Moon Empire, he had an irreconcilable hatred for this empire that had changed so drastically.

He Caitou smiled bitterly, “You’re surprised, aren’t you? I’ve kept this buried deep in my heart for far too long. My father was the previous emperor of the Sun Moon Empire. I have seven older sisters, and my father was forty-eight years old when I was born. Back then, when my father was still the crown prince, my uncle was always vying with him for the throne. But my grandfather knew that my uncle was ruthless by nature and that handing the country over to him would not be a good thing. That’s why, even though my uncle’s talents far surpassed my father’s in every aspect, he still insisted on passing the throne to my father.”

"After my father ascended the throne, he governed the country diligently. He devoted all his energy to the affairs of the state every day. Under my father's rule, our country became more and more prosperous, and my father gained the loyalty of the vast majority of his ministers."

"Before his death, my grandfather told my father that only by stripping my uncle of all his power could the country be at peace. But my father was kind-hearted, and my uncle was his only brother. He couldn't bear to let his brother lose all his power. So he didn't carry out my grandfather's dying wish, which sowed the seeds of future trouble."

"Six years ago, my father, the emperor, was in the prime of his life when he suddenly died overnight. My mother, the empress, and my three unmarried sisters also died on the same night. The later explanation was food poisoning. My uncle suddenly led his army into the capital, and overnight everything changed. I still clearly remember a terrifying figure sneaking into the palace and committing massacres. My mother stuffed me into a secret passage, and that's how I survived."

"When my uncle couldn't find my body, he sent men to hunt me down, claiming that my entire family had died from food poisoning. He used this as an opportunity to purge my father's confidants from the palace. He killed all the eunuchs, saying it was to be buried with my father."

After a series of purges, he, as the sole heir to the throne, seized power through an iron fist.

At this point, He Caitou's eyes were bloodshot, his fists were clenched tightly, and his originally honest face was now contorted with rage. His hatred had reached its peak.

"Perhaps it was the spirits of my father and mother protecting me that allowed me to escape in the end. However, the former crown prince has been reduced to a beggar-like vagrant."

I dared not go back, so I ran and ran until I finally reached the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire, where my teacher rescued me. That's how I survived. But I have never dared to forget this blood feud in my heart for even a day.

However, I knew that my individual strength was too insignificant; becoming an ultimate solo soldier was my only hope at that time. But ultimately, my talent was insufficient to make me the true successor to this plan.

At this point, He Caitou looked at Shen Yumo with red eyes and said, "Yumo, I only hope that one day in the future, after you truly become an ultimate solo soldier, you can help me when I need revenge. I know this request is a bit excessive. I know I can't help you with anything right now, but I really hope you will help me. In the future, whenever you need help, Caitou and I will do our duty without hesitation!"

……

……

Chapter 152 Is she pretty?

"...But I really hope you will help me. In the future, whenever you need help, Cai Tou and I will do our best to help you!" Cai Tou said, as if he were telling a story that couldn't be more calm, but a few tears welled up in the eyes of this grown man.

Girls are all sexy creatures, and this was perfectly demonstrated in her. She covered her mouth, completely immersed in the sad story He Caitou was telling her.

Shen Yumo pursed his lips, weighing the pros and cons in his mind. He wasn't a big shot, nor did he have the ability to save others. The future was unpredictable. Since He Caitou had already gone this far, what could he do? Refuse?

It's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy or someone who holds a grudge, even if that friendship is only temporary.

"Yes, I promise you and your senior that I will have a chance to help you in the future, so don't be sad." He patted He Caitou's strong shoulder as he spoke.

After saying goodbye to He Caitou, Shen Yumo hurriedly dragged Jiang Nannan to the cafeteria. Well, another round of PDA.

“Yu Mo, I really don’t mind if you’re looking for many more.”

The two arrived at the shore of Poseidon Lake. A warm breeze carried a hint of comfort. She walked ahead of Shen Yumo, her gaze falling on a long pavilion.

Shen Yumo pursed his lips. Why did this topic always have to be brought up? He thought that any girl would definitely find it offensive. Even though she said she didn't mind, she was actually feeling a little jealous. He was such a jerk. He had Jiang Nannan and the two emperors, yet he still had his eye on Meng Hongchen. It was really not good of him.

"Hey, the weather's nice today, perfect for a walk or something. Otherwise, I'd be bored to death staying in that dorm all the time." Shen Yumo pretended not to understand.

Jiang Nannan pursed her lips. In the end, she was still jealous. Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought it up. It wasn't that she was against it, but she was afraid! Afraid that he would find someone new and forget about her. She didn't want to experience the pain of loss again.

"Yu Mo, is she very pretty?" Jiang Nannan turned her head and smiled sweetly. She really wanted to know what kind of girl he had taken a liking to.

"Who?" Shen Yumo stopped looking. The bright-eyed, white-toothed girl was incredibly charming in the sunlight.

It seems there's no way to avoid it.

"Are you still pretending to be confused? You mean that girl from Mingdetang you were talking about the other day? Isn't she pretty? How old is she?" Jiang Nannan asked.

"Uh... hiss..." Shen Yumo was helpless. How could she have imagined that she would ask about Meng Hongchen? She almost exposed the secrets of the Ice and Snow Emperors. It wasn't that she didn't want her to know, but at least not now.

"Yes, her name is Meng Hongchen. She is a disciple of the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire. She..." Then, Shen Yumo described her appearance as best she could, as well as the age of her martial spirit.

He hadn't seen Meng Hongchen since their encounter a few years ago in the far north. His memory of her remained: long, straight silver hair gathered into a ponytail on the right side, and large, light blue eyes that turned red when she released her martial soul. Her long, straight silver hair was also gathered into a ponytail on the right side, adorned with a small, cute blue bow. Her large, light blue eyes scrutinized the young man; her features were delicate, and she possessed a mysterious aura.

Hmm... I've said a bit too much.

After all these years, she must have changed a lot.

Jiang Nannan listened as he calmly described her appearance, martial spirit, and so on.

She also vaguely knew something about Mingde Hall. Its status on the continent was comparable to Shrek Academy. It was a place that specialized in soul tools. People who could study there must be very outstanding. Especially when she heard that the girl was the same age as Shen Yumo, she felt a little threatened.

Perhaps this was due to her fear of that girl. Jiang Nannan knew that she had to give herself a sense of security. In any case, she would definitely work harder and become more outstanding!

Thinking of this, Jiang Nannan couldn't help but clench her fists tightly. She only had a few levels left before reaching the Soul Master level, so she had to work harder!

"Nannan." Shen Yumo noticed something was off about her and couldn't help but feel apologetic as she took her soft, boneless little hand in hers.

"You are just as important to me!"

Important... Jiang Nannan knew how important Shen Yumo was to her. If it weren't for him saving her back then, she probably would have been ruined...

"It's alright, Yu Mo, I've always supported you. Seize this opportunity in the competition and try to get the other person to stay at Shrek Academy with you!" Jiang Nannan smiled beautifully, revealing two charming dimples, her pale golden eyes filled with tender affection.

What she didn't know was that after the competition, the academy would select Shen Yumo as an exchange student to cultivate at Mingde Hall. How should she choose then? How should Shen Yumo choose?

As she spoke, Jiang Nannan nestled against Shen Yumo's not-so-broad chest. Shen Yumo smiled in response, silence speaking volumes. She was a little too sensible…

The two had been together for a long time. Since she had participated in the selection of reserve team members in the morning, she did not have to go to class in the afternoon. It was not until near evening that Jiang Nannan reluctantly broke free from his embrace.

"Go back to your training! I will definitely surpass you!" Jiang Nannan gently pushed Shen Yumo away and waved her little pink fist in front of him in a show of defiance.

Shen Yumo pursed her lips, a faint smile appearing at the corners of her mouth. "Okay, my Nan Nan wife."

"what!"

Jiang Nannan was incredibly shy, and two blushes, like someone who was drunk, quickly rose on her cheeks at a speed imperceptible to others, making her look extremely charming.

"You... I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to cultivate." Jiang Nannan said with her head down and ran away without looking back, even using some of her soul power.

Shen Yumo could clearly see that her neck was covered with a layer of pink, which showed that the phrase "wife" was indeed very effective.

Shen Yumo stared blankly as the graceful figure disappeared from sight, a secret smile creeping onto her lips.

Maybe he's overthinking it... Looks like I'll have to use words like "wife" more often from now on. Jiang Nannan is so cute.

However, there was one question she hadn't thought about yet: Meng Hongchen's matter. Regardless of whether she agreed to the marriage or the love, Shen Yumo would handle it in a very domineering way.

She's probably thinking about herself from time to time, holding that carving knife...

How shameless! Shen Yumo has a pretty good self-esteem; he only cares about what he thinks.

She didn't believe that the carving knife, which was ranked on the list, was not easy for her to use. As for giving someone a gift on the first meeting, wasn't that a must? If she didn't lay the groundwork for the future, how could she talk about love with Meng Hongchen? With this carving knife, her personality would be different. She could ask for it legitimately. Of course, it wasn't that Shen Yumo wanted it. As for striking up a conversation, you know.

Jiang Nannan is a cute little girl.
