Jiang Nannan's Adventure

Upon hearing the sound, Jiang Nannan abruptly raised her head, revealing a delicate yet terrified face.

Her eyes were red and brimming with tears, with teardrops clinging to her long eyelashes, making her look pitiful.

Upon seeing Xu Sanshi, she shrank back in fright, her body trembling even more violently.

Seeing her like this, Xu Sanshi felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he were being pricked by needles.

Back then, he was blinded by desire and completely failed to notice Jiang Nannan's fear and despair.

He only thought about completing the Dark Nether Sect's ritual, evolving his Martial Soul, and becoming the future head of the family.

They never considered how much harm this would cause to an innocent girl.

Xu Sanshi took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound gentler, "Don't be afraid, I really won't hurt you. I know you came because of your mother's illness, right?"

Jiang Nannan paused for a moment, looking at Xu Sanshi with some surprise.

She never expected that this Second Young Master, whom she had never met before, would know about this matter.

Just then, Chen Wen's voice came from outside the door. "Second Young Master, according to the rules of our Dark Nether Sect, all direct descendants who possess Martial Soul must undergo a special awakening ceremony at the age of fifteen."

This awakening is extremely important for you. Once completed, your Martial Soul may evolve into the Dark Nether Shield.

"As long as your Martial Soul Evolution into the Dark Nether Shield, then you will be the first heir to the future family headship."

Chen Wen's voice carried a hint of flattery and a touch of self-righteousness.

This is not something to be proud of, so the Dark Nether Sect has always kept it a secret.

Outsiders only know that the direct descendants of the Dark Nether Sect may undergo a second evolution after their Martial Soul Awakening.

Many people want to study how this so-called evolution actually happens.

However, the Dark Nether Sect has remained tight-lipped about it.

After all, Martial Soul Awakening in this way at the age of fifteen is certainly not something to be celebrated.

Upon hearing Chen Wen's words, Xu Sanshi's eyes instantly turned cold.

He turned his head and coldly said to the door, "This is none of your business. You can leave now."

Chen Wen paused for a moment, then said with some confusion, "Second Young Master, is it about the ceremony...?"

"I said, you can get off."

Xu Sanshi's voice carried an undeniable air of authority.

Chen Wen didn't dare say anything more and could only leave dejectedly.

The room returned to silence.

Only Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan remained.

Xu Sanshi turned his head and looked at Jiang Nannan, his eyes softening again.

He didn't come any closer; he simply sat not far from her and quietly watched her.

"I know you're scared and upset," Xu Sanshi said softly. "Don't worry, I won't touch you."

I'll take you home in a bit. I'll take full responsibility for your mother's illness.

I will find the best doctors and use the best medicine; I will definitely cure her."

Jiang Nannan stared blankly at Xu Sanshi, her eyes filled with confusion.

She didn't understand why this Second Young Master was completely different from what she had imagined.

Shouldn't he treat himself roughly like those spoiled brats?

Why is he so gentle with me?

He even said he wanted to cure his own mother's illness?

Xu Sanshi looked at her puzzled expression and smiled wryly to himself.

If only he could have been as clear-headed back then as he is now.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".

However, now, Heaven-and-Earth Valley of Love Inquiry has given him a chance to make amends.

This time, he will definitely not make the same mistake again.

Shrek Academy, Female Dormitory.

Xiao Xiao rested her chin on her hands, her eyes fixed on the image in her mind, her cheeks still flushed.

"Senior Xu Sanshi is so kind... He's actually willing to give up the opportunity to Martial Soul Evolution. If someone ever treats me like that, I'll definitely marry him."

She muttered to herself, then felt a little embarrassed and quickly covered her face.

Shrek Academy, Inner Court

Ma Xiaotao's playful smile deepened.

She crossed her arms, watching the screen with great interest, muttering to herself, "Not bad, Xu Sanshi, you've got guts! I thought you wouldn't be able to resist."

But seriously, Lin Ye, why do you always dawdle at the most crucial point? Can't you just give me a straight answer?

Tang Ya smiled amusedly, but upon seeing that the diary had stopped updating, she immediately snorted.

"Lin Ye, you idiot! Can you hurry up and write?! I'm so impatient! What happens next?"

Next, it was Jiang Nannan's turn to be tested.

When Jiang Nannan stepped into the final checkpoint, the scene before her eyes changed.

She appeared on a familiar street.

At the end of the street was a small clinic.

Jiang Nannan's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes instantly turned red.

This is where she grew up.

Her mother was recuperating at this clinic.

Jiang Nannan ran towards the clinic without regard for anything else. She ran as fast as she could, tears flying in the wind.

Mother!

I've finally seen you again!

She reached out, wanting to push open the door of the clinic.

However, her hand passed right through the wooden door, as if it had passed through a wisp of air.

Jiang Nannan froze on the spot, her smile vanishing instantly.

She tried again, but got the same result.

She couldn't touch anything at all.

Everything here is an illusion.

Jiang Nannan could no longer hold back, squatted down on the ground, and burst into tears.

"Why... why did you do this to me..."

"Since you're giving me a second chance, why won't you let me see my mother...?"

"Please... let me see my mother... even just for a moment..."

She cried her heart out, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

But no matter how much she cried or begged, there was no response.

Time slips away unnoticed.

In the blink of an eye, another day has passed.

Jiang Nannan had cried all her tears out, and her voice was hoarse.

She sat on the ground, looking lost and dejected, her eyes vacant.

Just then, the scene before them changed again.

The doors of the clinic slowly opened.

Jiang Nannan suddenly raised her head, and hope rekindled in her eyes.

She saw it.

She saw her mother.

My mother was lying in the hospital bed, her face pale and her breath weak.

However, a faint black halo rippled around her body.

That's what the Black Tortoise Divine Pill looks like when it takes effect.

Jiang Nannan's tears flowed again.

Just then, a familiar figure walked into the clinic.

It's Xu Sanshi.

He was carrying a large food box and had a gentle smile on his face.

There was another person following behind him.

Jiang Nannan recognized him at a glance.

That person was Chen Wen.

It was he who led me to that small room back then.

She will never forget this person in her life!
