Chapter 139 Xiaoxue, What If I Get Locked Up by the Teacher?
"Achoo!"
Jiang Nian rubbed his nose, glancing at Qian Renxue beside him, wondering if she was cursing him.
He sneezed several times, feeling like someone was constantly calling his name.
The little golden retriever seemed to understand, quickly glaring back.
He snorted and turned his head, his eyes darting around.
"Xiaoxue."
"I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
"???"
Qian Renxue's cheeks flushed, she covered her face with her hands, taking a deep breath.
After calming down, she noticed the strange look in Jiang Nian's eyes, as if he had read her mind.
"Ahem! I confess, I was indeed thinking about something just now."
"Where are we going now?"
Jiang Nian didn't pursue the matter, picking up a map to check their location.
He discovered that if they only walked, it would take ten days to half a month to reach Tiandou City.
"To the Ye family."
Qian Renxue nodded, taking Jiang Nian's arm and swaying it gently.
"Just treat this as a trip, no need to rush."
"You've been cultivating so hard, now's the time to rest."
Looking into those sparkling eyes, he felt a little helpless.
For the past six months, they'd been traveling on and off, neither of them cultivating much.
He wasn't too bothered; after all, his cultivation had increased so rapidly between Soul King and Soul Emperor levels. Taking a break to solidify his foundation was like a vacation.
But she couldn't do that. How could she just play all the time?
"I can take a break, but what about you…" Jiang Nian paused, and the little golden retriever instantly made a face, pouting and shaking his arm.
"Oh! Soul Masters are human too, Jiang, please let me go!"
"If I slack off for another month or two, I promise I'll cultivate properly!"
Perhaps afraid he wouldn't believe her, she even held up three fingers to swear.
Jiang Nian rubbed his temples, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Alright, two and a half months at most."
"By then, I'll help you hone your sword intent."
The little golden retriever smiled and tiptoed to give him a hard kiss on the cheek.
"You're so good to me. Grandpa only ever makes me cultivate; all he thinks about is his sword."
Jiang Nian: "..."
He silently felt sorry for the old man for a few seconds. Anyway, it doesn't matter who raises him.
He rubbed her head, suddenly feeling like he was raising a daughter.
Indeed, some people's partners are girlfriends or daughters.
Others' partners are girlfriends or mothers.
Of course, there are even more extreme cases.
A little twin-tailed loli suddenly popped into Jiang Nian's mind. He quickly shook his head, looked at the silly little golden retriever beside him, and his thoughts cleared considerably.
After a long and arduous journey, the two stopped to enjoy the world.
Occasionally, he would write a letter back home; his feelings for Bibi Dong were somewhat complicated.
The once harmonious master-disciple relationship has now undergone a subtle change.
Although helping Lu Guo would be very comfortable, he feared that over time, he would become corrupted. He even worried that he might be trapped in the secret chamber!
Jiang Nian had only had some suspicions before, but now he had no reason to doubt them.
He felt that this day would come sooner or later; it was just a matter of time.
The thought of Bibi Dong undergoing another Rakshasa God test, which would corrupt her mind and thoughts, perhaps even leading her to do something more insane, sent a chill down Jiang Nian's spine, a bead of sweat forming on his forehead.
Qian Renxue frowned. She sensed that Xiao Jiang had been somewhat restless lately, always seeming to be afraid of something.
However, he would sometimes relax, leaving her wondering what he was thinking.
"Xiaoxue."
"Huh? What is it?"
Jiang Nian scratched his head, feigning composure, and asked, "If one day you and your teacher completely break off your relationship, and I might be locked up, what would you do?"
Qian Renxue's eyes widened, like a little lion guarding its food: "She wouldn't dare! If she really locks you up, I'll get you out!"
"Hmph~ I haven't done it yet..."
"What would you do?"
The little golden retriever glanced at her, muttering softly, "Nothing... nothing."
Jiang Nian watched her fidgeting with her head down, silently swallowing.
Wait, something feels a little strange.
Could he have raised a boss?
Probably not...
"Xiaoxue, you mustn't pick up those bad ideas, understand?" Jiang Nian pressed his hands against her cheeks, his expression unusually serious.
Regardless of whether there was any hint of that, he had to thoroughly brainwash her now.
He didn't want to escape his mother's clutches while his daughter suffered the consequences.
Qian Renxue listened to Jiang Nian's earnest teachings in a daze, suddenly feeling like she was starting to grow a brain.
[To love him is to give everything for him.]
[To love him is to respect his thoughts.]
[To love him is to...]
Several days passed, and Jiang Nian felt his speech was very effective.
The immature little golden retriever had begun to walk on the right path.
As for Bibi Dong, he could only be changed gradually.
Sigh, he had worried himself sick over this family.
Arriving in Tiandou City, Jiang Nian brought Qian Renxue to the Ye family mansion.
On a large stone at the entrance of the manor, a woman with braided hair rested her chin on her hands, staring blankly ahead.
Every day after finishing her cultivation, she would stand here in a daze for a while.
It was unclear what she was waiting for.
Today, two tall figures appeared in their field of vision.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman, they were a perfect match standing together.
The girl had her hair tied in a high ponytail, and just standing there, she exuded youth.
The boy smiled, listening to the girl beside him, occasionally giving a response.
A breeze blew through his medium-length hair, and when he smiled, he seemed gentle and warm, but when he had a stern face, he seemed cold and handsome.
In short, it was flawless from every angle.
Ye Lingling's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
She climbed down from the rock and ran to Jiang Nian.
"Saint...Brother Jiang Nian!"
Without a word, the girl gave him a big hug.
The sudden pressure startled Jiang Nian, but he instinctively hugged her back.
Then, he was glared at again.
"Hmph~"
Qian Renxue crossed her arms, puffed out her cheeks, and quietly watched the two of them. Finally, she fixed her gaze on Jiang Nian, seemingly blaming him for provoking the young girl again.
But Jiang Nian was truly innocent; he didn't seem to have done anything wrong.
Ye Lingling also knew her place, only lingering for a few seconds before pulling away.
"Sister Xiaoxue!"
Qian Renxue paused, then instinctively opened her arms to hug her.
"Sister Xiaoxue, I miss you so much too."
"Um...me too."
The little golden retriever ruffled her hair, all her earlier dissatisfaction vanishing, replaced by a gentle smile and tender eyes.
As long as she didn't have any special feelings for anyone, she was still a very nice older sister.
But if she did have inappropriate thoughts about someone, then don't blame her for doing something else!
