East Sea Park Picnic

East Sea Park Picnic Jing Shaoyu's first trip to the Spirit Ascension Platform ended smoothly.

His gains were decent. A Tusked Boar that had just passed a hundred years old, plus a few ten-year soul beasts, increased Red Jade's cultivation by more than ten years. If every future trip to the Spirit Ascension Platform yielded gains like this, then in at most a year, Red Jade would be able to evolve into a thousand-year Soul Spirit.

Cheng De brought the seven Cadets back to the academy. At the same time, on the top floor of the East Sea Spirit Transfer Pagoda, someone else was also preparing to leave.

"Respectfully seeing off the Heavenly Phoenix Crown!" Ji Changming stood in his office, bent at the waist, and called out reverently.

A moment later, he straightened up. That fiery-red, peerless beauty had already vanished, and an excited smile could not help appearing on his face.

After they returned to the academy, teaching director Cheng De allowed the seven Cadets to leave school early. After Jing Shaoyu said goodbye to Xu Xiaoyan, he got on his bicycle and went home.

Jing Shaoyu's bicycle had been bought for him by Jing Ziyuan just a few days ago, specifically for his commute to and from school. Speaking of which, this had actually been Na'er's suggestion. As for why Na'er had made such a suggestion, the reason was simple: during the first two or three days after Jing Shaoyu started school, every time he came home, he rode in Xu Xiaoyan's family car.

Uh, hehe. Jing Shaoyu was actually rather helpless. This little girl, Na'er, was already this jealous when she was still so young. When she grew up, what was he supposed to do? When Jing Shaoyu got home, he was surprised to discover that City Lord Ouyang Jian was actually at their house.

"Grandpa City Lord, what brings you here?" Jing Shaoyu asked in surprise.

"Haha, I came to see our little genius!" When Ouyang Jian saw Jing Shaoyu return, he immediately smiled happily and said, "How is it? Are you getting used to the academy? Have you made any friends?"

"Mm, the academy is pretty good." Jing Shaoyu walked to Ouyang Jian's side and answered, "As for friends, Xiao Yan and I are very close."

"Oh, is that so?" When Ouyang Jian heard this, a hint of delight flickered in his old eyes, and then he said with a hearty laugh, "That's wonderful. I watched that girl Xiao Yan grow up. She's a good child."

Ouyang Jian's purpose in coming to Jing Shaoyu's home was actually very simple. It was to raise Jing Shaoyu's goodwill toward him. He had brought Jing Shaoyu resources that were nominally a welfare benefit for Eastsea City's genius Soul Masters, but in reality were most likely provided personally by Ouyang Jian.

A portion of Centennial Whale Oil.

As everyone knew, Eastsea City was the second-largest coastal city on the East Sea, and its marine fishery industry was extremely developed. Because of that, a heavenly treasure like whale oil, which was rare inland, was actually not uncommon in Eastsea City. However, most of what circulated on the market was ten-year whale oil. Whale oil over a hundred years old generally only appeared at auctions. This portion of Centennial Whale Oil that Ouyang Jian had brought over was excellent in both quality and quantity, and its price would not be lower than one hundred thousand Federal Currency.

Ouyang Jian left the Centennial Whale Oil behind, reminded Jing Shaoyu to be careful when taking it, and then departed.

"Brother!" As soon as Ouyang Jian left, Na'er, who had been waiting at the side for a long time, could not wait to throw herself into Jing Shaoyu's arms. Pouting, she said, "I hate that old man from just now!"

"Uh." Jing Shaoyu froze, then asked in confusion, "Why?"

Na'er gave an answer that left Jing Shaoyu unsure whether to laugh or cry. "Because Na'er feels like that old man will help Xu Xiaoyan steal Brother away!"

"Ah, this!" Jing Shaoyu had no words. He had no choice but to sigh in amazement. Sometimes, a woman's intuition was terrifyingly strong!

Judging from Ouyang Jian's behavior, he definitely hoped Jing Shaoyu would end up together with Xu Xiaoyan. That way, Jing Shaoyu's ties to Eastsea City would be even deeper. Even if Jing Shaoyu left Eastsea City in the future, he still would not cut off contact with Eastsea City.

"Na'er, how about we go on a picnic at East Sea Park tomorrow?" Jing Shaoyu chose to change the subject and said to Na'er cheerfully.

"East Sea Park? What kind of place is that? Is it fun?" Na'er took the bait as expected. Curiosity appeared on her little face as she asked.

"It's fun!" Jing Shaoyu said with absolute confidence. "We can fly kites there!"

"Okay, I want to go!" Na'er immediately agreed, cheering.

Jing Shaoyu told Jing Ziyuan about this idea, and Jing Ziyuan naturally would not refuse.

Thus, the next morning, the family of four arrived at East Sea Park.

East Sea Park was one of Eastsea City's landmark attractions. It was said to have over a thousand years of history and had existed since the very beginning of Eastsea City's founding, so quite a few strange and precious plants grew inside the park.

The family found a stretch of lawn in the park's open area. Then Jing Ziyuan and Lin Xin began arranging the picnic supplies, while Jing Shaoyu took Na'er to play in the park.

They flew kites on the large square in front of the lawn, chasing each other back and forth. It was very cheerful.

"Na'er, hurry and come catch me!" Jing Shaoyu ran in front. Although he had deliberately slowed down, he was a Soul Master after all, while Na'er was just an ordinary person. It was very hard for Na'er to catch up to him.

"Brother, wait for me!" Na'er chased after him with all her might, no longer able to pay attention to the kite string in her hand.

At this, Jing Shaoyu could only stop helplessly. While controlling his own kite so that it would not fall, he turned around to face Na'er, then slowly backed up.

"Little brother, it's not good to walk backward like that." Suddenly, a jade-like hand landed on his shoulder, and a gentle female voice with a hint of charm rang out.

Jing Shaoyu froze, then immediately walked forward a few steps and turned back. He was very surprised, because he had been paying attention behind him the whole time, afraid that he might accidentally bump into someone. In the end, he had really bumped into someone. But how had this person avoided his perception?

As he thought this, he also clearly saw this person's appearance and was instantly stunned. This was actually an incomparably gorgeous, stunning beauty. Her long hair flowed down like a waterfall, draped over her shoulders. Her fiery-red hair shimmered with specks of gold beneath the sunlight. A light red velvet dress outlined her curvaceous, delicate body, and pale high heels made her tall figure seem even more perfect.

Her bearing was elegant with a trace of pride. Her beautiful eyes were like stars, bright yet profound. Her lovely red lips curved gently, revealing a captivating smile.

The Red-dressed Woman smiled as she watched Jing Shaoyu's dazed expression, feeling a little pleased with herself. She said, "Little brother, staring at a girl like that is very impolite, you know."

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, pretty big sister. It was my fault. I shouldn't have been walking backward," Jing Shaoyu immediately snapped back to his senses and hurriedly said.

At the same time, he secretly grew vigilant. Although this woman was very beautiful—one could even say she was the most beautiful woman Jing Shaoyu had seen in this life or his previous one—the more beautiful a woman was, the less she could be underestimated, especially on Douluo Continent.

"Not only are you good-looking, little brother, your mouth is sweet too." The Red-dressed Woman bent down, her jade-like hand lightly pinching Jing Shaoyu's cheek as she smiled and said, "Then this big sister will forgive you."

"Brother, who is this auntie?" At this moment, Na'er finally caught up. As soon as she arrived, she saw a very good-looking woman pinching her Brother's face. Na'er was instantly unwilling. She rushed directly between the two of them and asked with a face full of innocent naivety.

"Auntie?!" When the Red-haired Woman heard Na'er actually call her auntie, her beautiful eyes could not help twitching. Although she was indeed not young, being called Aunt still made her very unhappy. However, she had no intention of fussing over it, and said with a light laugh, "All right, you two keep playing. We'll meet again if fate allows!"

The woman moved her jade-like feet lightly. Though her steps were slow, her figure vanished in the blink of an eye. This made Jing Shaoyu even more certain that this woman was absolutely no ordinary person. Although he had not sensed any Soul Power fluctuations from her, that only further proved how terrifying she was.

"Brother!" When Na'er saw that Jing Shaoyu was actually still staring in the direction that woman had left, she immediately shouted in dissatisfaction. Her little face was puffed up in anger, making her look very cute.

"What's wrong?" Jing Shaoyu lowered his head and answered. Only then did he realize that Na'er was actually angry, and he immediately found it funny. He reached out to pinch Na'er's huffy little face and teased, "Who made my Na'er angry again? Your little cheeks are puffed up like a toad!"

"They are not!" As soon as Na'er heard this, her little face immediately stopped puffing up, but she was still somewhat unhappy. She said, "Brother, was that auntie from just now very pretty?"

"Of course." Jing Shaoyu answered subconsciously, but when he saw the little girl's eyes beginning to brew magic, he immediately added, "But she definitely isn't as pretty as my Na'er. When Na'er grows up, you'll definitely be even prettier than that big sister!"

"She's an auntie!" Na'er was very satisfied, but her little temper remained as she muttered.

"Okay, okay, she's an auntie, she's an auntie!" Jing Shaoyu could not help shaking his head. This little girl, getting so jealous when she was this young—what would happen when she grew up? The little interlude was soon forgotten, and the family spent a pleasant day off at East Sea Park.
