Chapter 109 The Domineering Golden Retriever, Refusing to Leave.
Jiang Nian froze on the spot, a hair on his body twitching involuntarily.
Turning his head, he found the golden retriever staring at him with a half-smile.
"No way."
"Oh?"
Qian Renxue stepped forward, looked at the profile of the face that Hu Liena had stolen a kiss from, and her expression instantly froze.
She took out a handkerchief from her storage soul tool, wet it, and stood on tiptoe.
Her eyes were devoid of emotion as she quietly wiped the face.
Only when she felt it was enough did she light the handkerchief.
The golden retriever pouted, turned its head away, and stopped talking.
Its neck was tucked into its collar, only the area above its nose was visible.
Jiang Nian knew he had to coax it.
He walked to Qian Renxue's side, said nothing, and simply took her wrist.
At first, it was stubborn, trying to struggle a few times, but finding that it couldn't break free, it gave in.
Their fingers intertwined.
The golden retriever's lips curled up again.
It seemed to no longer care about what had just happened.
Jiang Nian wisely refrained from mentioning it again. It wasn't until dusk that the three of them finished absorbing the energy.
While the fire-type spirit herb Yan consumed wasn't as good as the one he had taken, it was still quite good.
Being a top-tier beast spirit, it might even offer a chance for advancement after consumption.
They would consider absorbing the remaining resources after the three obtained their spirit rings.
"Brother Nian, I feel so hot in my stomach!" Hu Liena rubbed her lower abdomen, wondering why it felt so warm.
"That's normal. Once you obtain your second spirit ring, all the spirit power stored within your body will be released."
"At that time, you might even gain six or seven levels of spirit power at once."
Hu Liena was already level nineteen, and even after taking this pill, her spirit power was still nearing its limit.
Luckily, her physical strength was high.
Otherwise, she would have burst.
"Oh~ is that so..." Hu Liena wanted to be even more audacious, but when she saw Qian Renxue next to Jiang Nian, she immediately stopped and lowered her head.
She felt a faint sense of illicit pleasure.
Her cheeks flushed, and she felt very guilty.
"You three go back first, and meet at the East Gate tomorrow morning."
"Okay!"
Watching the three little ones leave, Jiang Nian glanced at the sky, preparing to find an excuse to send the little golden retriever away.
What if he slept here tonight?
Not only Bibi Dong, but Qian Daoliu would probably come knocking with a knife.
"Little Jiang, I feel like you have something on your mind~"
"Tell me! Did you do something bad behind my back?!"
Jiang Nian's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but recall last night's experience.
That... shouldn't count, right?
Giving to heaven and earth, letting life roam freely.
"Don't overthink it, what could I do?"
Jiang Nian tapped her forehead and turned to walk towards the bedroom.
Qian Renxue followed, immediately surveying her surroundings upon entering. Like a proud lioness surveying her territory, she glanced at the trash can.
Huh?
What's this thing?
It looks a bit like a handkerchief.
And this smell…"
Qian Renxue frowned slightly, reaching out to grab it.
"Xiaoxue, do you want some…? Holy crap!"
Jiang Nian grabbed her wrist in shock, feeling the pressure comparable to facing a Limit Douluo.
Damn it… he should have destroyed the evidence…
"Xiaoxue, how could you pick things out of the trash can?"
"Come here."
With that, Jiang Nian picked her up and carried her away.
He placed her on the dining table, and the little golden retriever blinked, looking confused.
Yeah, why was she picking up trash?
Anyway… it's all Jiang Nian's fault!
He made her so paranoid!
This bastard has to take responsibility!
Tonight, she's not leaving! …
After destroying the evidence, Jiang Nian felt much better.
The two chatted idly until late at night.
Qian Renxue nestled into his arms without any hesitation. If he hadn't been deliberately stopping her, she probably would have ridden on him.
"Xiao Jiang, are you disgusted with me?"
"No way..."
"Yes! You didn't mind when I sat on you outside, but now that we're back..."
"I..."
Jiang Nian was at a loss for words.
How could this be the same?
There might be little eyes watching from the shadows right now.
They might not be able to see, but they could probably hear...
"I don't care! Hold me while we sleep tonight!" Qian Renxue said petulantly, glaring at him without giving him a reason to refuse.
Jiang Nian was silent, and after a moment's thought, he still refused her with a serious expression.
Enjoyment was fine, but not now.
"Hmph! Actually, this young lady... didn't really want to!"
Qian Renxue puffed out her cheeks and got off Jiang Nian's lap. Although she was very unhappy about being rejected, she had no choice.
She couldn't force him, could she...?
Force him?
The little golden retriever lowered his head in thought, a strange emotion flashing in his eyes.
Glancing at Jiang Nian beside her, she muttered to herself.
"Um... Little Jiang, I'll go back now."
"I'll come find you tomorrow."
"Goodnight~"
Qian Renxue got up to leave, but then, remembering something, she turned back and tapped Jiang Nian's cheek.
"Only I can kiss you! Be careful next time you meet girls with ulterior motives!"
"They're all after your body!"
With that, the little golden retriever skipped away.
Jiang Nian was a little confused.
Hmm?
So well-behaved today?
That's not like her at all...
Putting those thoughts aside, Jiang Nian sat on the bed and meditated, waiting for tomorrow's Soul Hunt.
The next day.
Jiang Nian and the others gathered at the North Gate.
Inside the carriage, Bibi Dong watched the leisurely boy walk towards them from afar, closed her eyes, and remained silent.
"Your Highness, Holy Son."
Yue Guan and Gui Mei bowed.
Both of them looked quite spirited and energetic.
"Elder Ju, Elder Gui."
"Have you both broken through to a higher realm?"
Yue Guan nodded excitedly, her voice high-pitched, "Old Gui and I have been stuck at level 95 for a long time. Thanks to His Highness the Holy Son, we've achieved what we have today."
Jiang Nian smiled, not surprised by their breakthrough.
He glanced at the surrounding Soul Masters, thinking that his teacher had brought quite a few people this time.
"Good morning, Brother Nian." Hu Liena skipped over to him, tilting her head, full of energy.
He glanced at the Pope's carriage, ultimately not daring to be too presumptuous.
"Good morning."
Rubbing his head, Jiang Nian looked behind them.
Qian Renxue and Jin Yue'er had also arrived, greeting him before getting into their respective carriages.
They were still being led by Jin E. They probably weren't going the same way.
Bibi Dong stared at Jiang Nian, raising her eyelashes.
He pretended not to understand.
Then a certain jade hand reached out and pinched her ear.
This time she understood.
Bibi Dong withdrew her fingers with satisfaction, placing one leg over Jiang Nian's legs. She casually kicked off her shoe.
"Don't use too much force, or I'll punish you if it hurts."
