Chapter 88: Returning to Wuhun City, Hu Liena and Qian Renxue (2)
After the trip to the Sacred Soul Village, Su Mo immediately prepared to rush back to Tiandou Imperial City with Ah Yin.
On the way, since the beautiful wife had already entrusted him with her lost heart, Su Mo easily won Ah Yin's favor.
However, winning the heart of the protagonist Tang San's mother was obviously a major plot development.
But the system only stingily rewarded Su Mo with a single memory addition opportunity.
This made Su Mo quite distressed.
After hastily arriving at Tiandou Imperial City, Su Mo first took Ah Yin to the Yin-Yang Ice-Fire Eye in the Dusk Forest and replanted her there.
The Yin-Yang Ice-Fire Eye is the best place for plant-type soul beasts to grow.
If Ah Yin wanted to regain her cultivation level of 100,000 years faster, she still needed to be planted there.
After that, Su Mo stayed there with Ah Yin for a few more days before returning to Wuhun City.
When he returned to Wuhun, since less than three months had passed since his departure, not much had changed in the city.
But upon returning, Su Mo discovered that Bibi Dong had found Hu Liena and Xie Yue, and had accepted Hu Liena as her disciple.

Wuhun City, inside the Papa Palace.
"Xiao Mo, let me introduce you. Her name is Hu Liena. She is my new disciple. You can just call her Nana. You should be kind to her from now on."
Upon learning of Su Mo's return, Bibi Dong summoned him to the Papa Palace and sat on the throne, smiling beautifully.
Holding the magnificent Papa's scepter in one hand, she gently petted a girl beside her, who wore a golden dress, had short golden hair, and a lovely and charming face with a hint of shyness, and said:
"Nana? I know, Sister Dong'er, don't worry, I'll treat her well from now on!"
Su Mo nodded and said:
"Well then, take Nana. There's still time before the opening of the Wuhun Soul Master College. During that time, you can take her out to have fun in Wuhun."
Bibi Dong smiled and patted Hu Liena's shoulder, signaling her to leave with Su Mo.
"By the way, she hasn't met Xue'er yet. Don't forget to introduce them. She's about the same age as Xue'er, and they should be good friends."
When Su Mo took Hu Liena's hand and prepared to leave, Bibi Dong added:
"I know, Sister Dong'er. I'll head down first and wait for you at night."
Su Mo gestured with his other hand backward and led Hu Liena out of the Papa Palace.
---
"Why are you afraid of me?"
After leaving the Papa Palace and descending the mountain, Su Mo noticed that little loli Hu Liena next to him felt very shy and didn't dare to look at him.
Su Mo couldn't help but say with some amusement:
"No! No! I'm not afraid of you, big brother. I'm just… just a little embarrassed. It's my first time traveling so far and meeting strangers."
Hu Liena blushed and shook her head to explain.
As a girl who had always lived with her family, this was the first time she traveled so far and met strangers.
She liked her teacher Bibi Dong very much because she was beautiful and treated her very well.
But when she saw Su Mo, although she liked him a lot, she still felt a little shy.
Because Su Mo was a different kind of man and also very handsome...
---
"This little one…"
Seeing Hu Liena looking shy—very shy—but occasionally sneaking a glance, Su Mo felt a kind of strangeness.
For a girl like Hu Liena,
Whether by her behavior or by the emotional perception ability of the twelve-winged fallen angel,
Su Mo could see that Hu Liena felt shy around him.
Besides normal shyness toward strangers, there was also shyness caused by love and admiration.
Of course, the current Hu Liena didn't know what admiration was.
But Hu Liena is a type who controls her appearance, Su Mo could be sure.
Because in the original story, Hu Liena's attitude toward Tang San was completely different during the Elite Exchange Competition of the Continental Soul Master Academy and in Wuhun City's Killing Grounds.
Hu Liena liked strong people, that's for sure.
But in the Elite Exchange Competition of the Continental Soul Master Academy, Tang San defeated Hu Liena.
Hu Liena felt no admiration for Tang San, only fury and a desire for revenge.
In Wuhun City's Killing Grounds, Tang San didn't defeat Hu Liena, but showed great strength and won her heart.
There's no essential difference in Tang San's performance in these two scenes, but there is a radical change in his appearance.
Tang San in Wuhun City is much more handsome than Tang San in the Elite Exchange Competition of the Continental Soul Master Academy!
In Su Mo's opinion, Hu Liena likes Tang San mainly because of his appearance. She is a woman who controls by looks!
---
Shy Hu Liena, who kept secretly looking from time to time, left the hill where the Papa Palace is located and returned to Wuhun City.
Su Mo first took her to a favorite restaurant in Wuhun City for a big dinner, then took her to play in the city all afternoon until night, and then took her home.
But at night, when Su Mo brought Hu Liena back home,
Besides a group of maids at home, Qian Renxue, who studied at the Young Soul Masters Academy in Wuhun City, had also returned.
---
"Brother Su Mo!"
When little Qian Renxue, with long golden hair, saw Su Mo finally return after several months, she was filled with joy.
She shouted his name and ran toward him.
"Xue'er, you're already quite grown up, but you still like to hug me and act like a spoiled child. Aren't you shy?"
Looking at little Qian Renxue who hugged him tightly like an octopus, Su Mo couldn't help but laugh.
He reached out and affectionately touched her nose.
---
"I'm not shy! I'm not big anymore. Didn't brother Su Mo always like hugging Xue'er? Xue'er has grown a bit. Does brother Su Mo not like me anymore?"
"Well, Xue'er still likes hugging brother Su Mo, just like now. I love his scent!"
Little Qian Renxue acted like a spoiled child, rubbing her head against Su Mo's arms.
However, when she rested her head on Su Mo's shoulder and continued breathing in his scent with pleasure,
Qian Renxue suddenly saw Hu Liena following him, and her body immediately tensed up.
Her soft, white hands grabbed him tightly as she nervously asked:
"Brother Su Mo, who is she?"
---
"She? Her name is Hu Liena, but you can just call her Nana. She's your mother's new disciple, a little younger than you, and will be your sister from now on!"
Upon hearing Qian Renxue ask about Hu Liena, Su Mo couldn't help but put Xue'er down, pulled the somewhat nervous Hu Liena back, and introduced her with a smile.
