Although he was reluctant to use it, Le Zhengyue still hadn't made up his mind.
As he left the hotel, he was followed by only two Angel Guard members; the others had already moved ahead, or rather, had already begun to surround the Mysterious Underworld Sect.
Meanwhile, on the dimly lit street, a few pieces of clothing were hung out to dry.
Jiang Nannan had just finished washing the clothes and was hanging them up when she heard whistling at the door.
"Whew-whew, well now, this widow and her daughter live quite nicely, don't they?"
"I heard that little girl is already over ten years old this year?"
"Still a bit too young, though. Once she grows up a few more years, how about she becomes a wife for big brother?"
The tone of the two men outside carried a provocative edge.
Hearing their words, Jiang Nannan's expression remained largely unchanged.
She simply stood silently by the door, her fists slightly clenched, her eyes growing increasingly complex.
The main reason she had been able to go to Shrek Academy with peace of mind, without being bullied or worrying about her mother, was actually the Mysterious Underworld Sect.
It was precisely because the Mysterious Underworld Sect looked after their home that she could leave this place without concern.
If she hadn't been with Xu Sanshi, hadn't become his woman and consummated their relationship, what would her final outcome have been?
As she thought this, Jiang Nannan looked at her hands; her body contained a terrifying power.
It was the power of a Super Douluo, the peak strength from her previous life, though this power was very weak now and could be used at most once or twice.
With this power, she could kill these two, but how many people could she really kill?
In the end, her fate would be no different from before.
Could it be that in this life, I am still destined to be with Xu Sanshi?
To become his woman?
To become an existence that no one cares about?
Jiang Nannan's voice was very low as she spoke, her teeth gently gritting.
If she hadn't been deflowered by Xu Sanshi, given her looks, it wasn't as if she couldn't find a better man.
Especially since her strength and talent were not weak either; one could even say they were quite strong.
When a woman has only beauty, she is merely a vase.
But when her strength and talent are also not weak, and can even be called strong, she is a heaven-gifted daughter.
In this situation, she believed she was worthy of any man. Although Xu Sanshi's talent was also very high, she actually had no affection for him, even until the very end.
However, no matter how complex her inner thoughts were, she understood that there was nothing left to consider; her final outcome would still be to become Xu Sanshi's woman.
"This is fine, too. At least in the end, we became a true couple. He treats me with care and hasn't cheated, so he can be considered a decent man."
Jiang Nannan muttered to herself, her eyes silent. She had already decided to go find Xu Sanshi again.
Just as she had made up her mind and was listening with some disgust to the lewd voices of the two men outside, a bone-cracking sound rang out, followed by a man's scream as he was slammed to the ground.
The sound came so quickly that Jiang Nannan was stunned. Her eyes looked toward the source in confusion, and then she heard a gentle knock on the door.
Immediately after, there were screams one after another, followed by the sound of someone's mouth being covered.
The feeling was strange. Jiang Nannan's body froze for a moment, her eyes filled with hesitation.
Then, she slowly stepped forward and gently opened the door.
The first thing that caught her eye was a young man in plain clothes. His appearance was ordinary, and upon seeing the Space Gate open, the young man stood respectfully to one side with his legs together.
As the young man stepped aside, Jiang Nannan finally saw the person behind him.
It was a boy around six or seven years old. He was not very old and quite short, but he had long golden hair and a pair of golden eyes.
Especially when those eyes looked at her, Jiang Nannan instinctively felt a sense of heart palpitations.
At this moment, Le Zhengyue's gaze was also sizing up Jiang Nannan. The young girl in front of him looked only about ten years old and hadn't fully matured, but at a glance, if one only looked at her facial structure, she was already a standard beauty in the making.
Even though her face was covered in dirt and her clothes were ragged and smelled of mold, her three-dimensional features and graceful figure were already apparent. She was absolutely a natural beauty.
Furthermore, from the wrists and ankles faintly revealed by the girl, one could see skin as white as porcelain. Looking closely at her body proportions, they were almost golden.
Jiang Nannan's eyes held a trace of fear. She looked at the boy in front of her with trepidation, not understanding why he was looking at her as if she were merchandise.
But because of the foundation from her previous life, she wasn't entirely terrified.
"May I ask what you want with me? Or rather, who are you?"
"Why have you come to my home?"
Jiang Nannan said as she took a step back.
Her eyes remained calm, and just by looking into them, Le Zhengyue knew she must have some trump cards.
This did not exceed Le Zhengyue's expectations, and he hadn't come to suppress this girl with force, but to conquer her heart.
For a girl with Jiang Nannan's personality, her mind was too delicate and too sensitive.
For a girl like this, if you pursue her and give her the choice, she won't actually like you; she might even grow annoyed with you.
What they like are assertive boys.
When facing this type of girl, normally you don't need to give them a choice, but rather provide them with a direction.
Meeting Jiang Nannan's wary gaze, Le Zhengyue walked forward calmly.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Le Zhengyue of the Yue Family from the Southern Legion of the Sun-Moon Federation."
As he spoke, Le Zhengyue extended his hand toward Jiang Nannan. Looking at the youth's fair fingers, Jiang Nannan froze for a moment before she also reached out to shake his hand.
Watching her own somewhat blackened palm touch his, Jiang Nannan stared at Le Zhengyue, yet she did not see a hint of disgust in the youth's eyes.
As their palms gently parted, a trace of confusion appeared in Jiang Nannan's eyes: "Sun-Moon Federation? Where is that?"
"Aren't you people from the major empires?"
"Among the other empires, it seems there is only the Sun-Moon Empire, right?"
"Are you from the Sun-Moon Empire?"
Jiang Nannan's tone was hesitant. She had only just recovered her memories, and given that her original status was that of a commoner, it was naturally impossible for her to know about the merging of the three continents.
As for the so-called Sun-Moon Federation, she was completely ignorant; the only reason Jiang Nannan knew of the Sun-Moon Empire was due to her own memories.
Listening to Jiang Nannan, Le Zhengyue's expression remained completely unchanged: "We do not come from this continent, but from another, and we are not from the Sun-Moon Empire."
"Hmm... you might not understand it put that way, so let me explain it simply!"
"My grandfather is a Limit Douluo, and my father, along with the other members of my family, includes over 15 Super Douluo."
