Jiang Mu

On the outskirts of Star Dou Forest,

Two figures moved rapidly through the terrain below.

One of them was a beautiful woman, most noticeable for her long, golden wavy hair and rabbit-ear accessory. Her long legs, one clad in a single stocking, moved nimbly through the woods as her gentle voice slowly rang out.

"Xiao Mu, do you have any ideas for your third soul ring? We've been searching aimlessly for so long."

She looked at the handsome young man beside her with a gentle expression.

Hearing this, Jiang Mu turned to look at the beautiful woman.

His nominal older sister. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

He had never expected to transmigrate, much less become siblings with Jiang Nannan.

His name was Jiang Mu. He had transmigrated to Douluo and been picked up by Mother Jiang. He was younger than Jiang Nannan.

They lived as siblings, though perhaps because he had transmigrated, a butterfly effect had occurred.

Mother Jiang had not fallen ill.

Having come to Douluo, he naturally had to awaken his martial soul.

Some weak minor dukes with little influence wanted to recruit talented commoners, so they would help them awaken their martial souls.

Like ordinary transmigrators, Jiang Mu had awakened twin martial souls as well: his heart and his arms.

The awakening of a Body martial soul was not obvious. The person conducting the test was not professional enough and simply treated it as a failed awakening.

That saved Jiang Mu from having to deal with those domineering people from the Body Sect.

What troubled him most was probably that he had not awakened any cheat ability.

He had originally thought that he would awaken his own cheat ability when his martial soul awakened, but nothing happened.

There was nothing he could do if he had none.

Without a cheat ability, how was he supposed to contend against Lord Tang San, who hung high above and could descend like a deus ex machina at any moment?

So he persuaded his older sister, Jiang Nannan.

Although Jiang Nannan did not understand, seeing her little brother act so coquettishly, if he did not want to attend an academy, then she would just stay home with him.

In any case, with their martial souls, they could work together to hunt soul beasts and live quite well. There was no need to go to Shrek.

They did not attend an academy. The two got along normally, spending their days fooling around and occasionally hunting soul beasts to sell for money. Their lives were plain, but carefree and comfortable.

But since he had transmigrated here, who would not want a glorious life with a harem and a rich, beautiful wife?

"Ahh..."

Thinking of this, Jiang Mu let out a sigh.

Hearing him sigh, a trace of confusion appeared on Jiang Nannan's beautiful face.

Why was he sighing? They were only looking for a soul ring.

Was he nervous? Afraid they would not find one?

"It's okay, Xiao Mu. We can keep looking for a while longer. We'll definitely find a soul beast soul ring even better than your first two."

"Mm."

The two were not thinking about the same thing.

Jiang Mu was pondering.

They had wandered around the outskirts of Star Dou Forest for so long. This should count as a place the protagonist Huo Yuhao would pass through.

Shouldn't his cheat ability awaken at a time like this? Wasn't it a little too much that it still had not awakened?

"..."

Meanwhile, Jiang Nannan watched her younger brother Jiang Mu, who usually loved bickering with her, remain unusually quiet. Her pretty cheeks puffed up as she pondered why he was acting this way.

"Xiao Mu, don't worry. You can't rush something like a soul ring. If you're afraid of danger, Big Sister will protect you."

Her words interrupted Jiang Mu's train of thought. He glanced sideways at her. Jiang Nannan had one hand placed before her chest and the other held open, as if making some sort of promise to him.

Just looking at her, it was obvious that she had imagined something else again. Forget it, what he had been thinking was not something he could say anyway, so he might as well go along with whatever she had imagined.

"Hehe, then I'll be counting on you to take care of me, Nannan."

Hearing this, a hint of displeasure appeared in Jiang Nannan's eyes.

"Hmph, how many times have I told you to call me Big Sister?"

"Don't be so prideful. I'm younger than you, so what's wrong with relying on my big sister a little?"

Jiang Mu curled his lips. Wasn't Jiang Nannan supposed to be the aloof number-one campus beauty, the long-legged goddess?

Why did she only seem willing to tease him? Anyone who did not know better would think she was a fox spirit.

She was absolutely a little-brother fanatic, wanting to show off her authority as his big sister before him.

But how could Jiang Mu, as a transmigrator, possibly submit to a lower position?

"Hehe, no. But if you kiss me, I might consider it."

A wicked smile appeared on Jiang Mu's face as he looked Jiang Nannan up and down. One of her legs wore a white thigh-high stocking, an oddly mismatched outfit.

Yet it was beautiful, and as expected of Douluo, she was mature. Her figure was exceptionally voluptuous.

Jiang Nannan instantly blushed under his undisguised gaze. She placed both hands behind her back, above her hips, and huffed coquettishly.

"Hmph, pervert! Bad little brother!"

"Mm..."

Jiang Nannan's face turned as red as an apple. She lowered her head, looking delicate and bashful.

"Are you sure? This is your only chance."

Jiang Mu smiled as he looked at her expression. It was the first time he had seen her reveal such a look.

Sure enough, he had to treat her in kind and let her experience this embarrassing feeling too.

Just as Jiang Mu withdrew his gaze and continued onward, searching for a suitable soul beast, Jiang Nannan suddenly spoke.

"Wait..."

Thinking that a soul beast had appeared, Jiang Mu cautiously stopped and observed from atop a tree.

"Where is the soul beast?"

After watching for a long time and seeing nothing, Jiang Mu grew suspicious and turned around curiously.

But in the next instant—

A fragrant breeze—

Thump.

Softness—

They arrived at the same time. With surprising force, she pressed Jiang Mu against a large branch and forcibly kissed him. His pupils trembled as he stared at Jiang Nannan, who had her eyes shut and was kissing him with all her strength, unable to believe it.

Smack.

Jiang Nannan was still a girl. Even if she was somewhat mature, her shy heart had not changed.

After lightly touching him—no, heavily pressing against him once—she slowly pulled away and stepped back.

The blush on her beautiful face could not be concealed, and even her fair neck was covered in a crimson flush.

She felt as though her whole body was about to burn up.

Her fingers curled slightly as she slowly raised them to her lips and touched them. Forcing herself to speak calmly, she replied,

"N-now can you call me that, bad little brother, bad Xiao Mu?"

Jiang Mu had not expected her to actually do it.

"Fine, Big Sister?"

A bet was a bet. Jiang Mu nodded and called out to her.

"Mm."

Hearing him say it, Jiang Nannan gradually shed her earlier embarrassment and recovered. Looking at Jiang Mu, she spoke gently.

"Good boy."

It was unprecedented. In all the years they had spent together, this was the first time he had called her Big Sister. Jiang Nannan's desire to be an older sister was instantly satisfied, and a syrupy sweetness filled her heart. Right now, even breathing felt sweet.

For a moment, she did not know whether she was happier that he had called her Big Sister or that they had kissed.

"Mm, let's keep looking."

Jiang Mu did not react much. He withdrew his gaze, saw that no soul beast had approached, and prepared to continue scouting.

But at that moment—

A clear female scream suddenly rang out.

"Ah! Help!"

Hearing it, the two ignored the earlier incident and looked at each other.
