Chapter 377 Aunt, how far have things progressed between Jun Yi and my mother?
With a flick of his wrist, Tang Hao produced a forging hammer in his hand, covered in mottled rust, exactly the same as the one Tang San used at home.
"Take it."
Tang San took the forging hammer and looked at his father with some confusion.
Tang Hao pointed to the waterfall at the other end of the pool, "Swim over there. Under the waterfall, there's a protruding round rock. Stand on it and practice the hammer technique I taught you."
" The Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer?" Tang San's gaze involuntarily turned to the waterfall.
Tang Hao nodded.
"When you can complete 81 hammer blows without making a single mistake, the first phase of special training will be over. Go."
In Xue Qinghe's room in Spirit City, Qian Renxue had not slept all night. Although this was nothing to Soul Master, especially Soul Master with such high talent as Qian Renxue, it was still quite a sight. Qian Renxue looked somewhat haggard, her eyes were red-rimmed, and there were bloodshot veins in the whites of her eyes, making her look as if she hadn't rested in a long time.
That night, she kept thinking about Bibi Dong and Jun Yi. This was a difficult outcome for Qian Renxue to accept. After all, the fact that she was raising a stepfather was too shocking. Even on Blue Star, it would be surprising to people, let alone in the Douluo Continent.
Qian Renxue kept trying to convince herself to accept everything, but how was she supposed to face Jun Yi afterward? Should they just go their separate ways?
She calls Jun Yi" Uncle," and then Jun Yi calls her "Sister"? What kind of logic is that?!
Just then, a voice came through the Communication Soul Tool: "Hello, niece, are you there? Have you seen Jun Yi and my sister?"
Qian Renxue replied in a weary voice, "I saw them, and I confirmed their relationship."
"What's wrong, niece? You seem unhappy."
"How could I be happy? Auntie, how far have things progressed between Jun Yi and my mother?" Qian Renxue asked.
A surprised voice came from the other end. "Huh? Aren't you their child?"
"No, I'm older than Jun Yi, how could I be his child?" Qian Renxue replied.
"Ah???????" Another surprised scream came from the other side.
After a long silence, a weak voice finally came through, "So, before you got together with Jun Yi, you already had a daughter who was older than him?"
"Now it seems so."
"Wait, wait, let me catch my breath." The voice on the other end sounded incredulous.
"May I ask, how old are you this year, sister?"
She is fifty-five years old this year.
"Ah???"
For a moment, both sides fell into a long silence.
"Um, niece, don't be too sad. I... I think that even if there's an age gap, it's not a big deal. The main thing is that your older sister likes it."
The voice on the other end clearly understood why Qian Renxue sounded so haggard and quickly began to comfort her.
"I heard from my sister that gods really exist in this world. If they become gods in the future, then age won't matter at all. Ten thousand years from now, being a few decades old won't be anything."
"Moreover, Sister Dong'er and Jun Yi have a really good relationship. I've seen them whispering to each other more than once. Jun Yi combs Sister Dong'er's hair and massages her shoulders. When Jun Yi was injured and unconscious before, Sister Dong'er held Jun Yi hand and stayed by his side all night. In my opinion, their relationship, even if it hasn't reached the point of marriage, is very close."
The voice on the other end became very gentle, softly soothing Qian Renxue's emotions.
"Auntie, tell me, how am I supposed to face Jun Yi in the future? We're quite familiar with each other."
The voice on the other end became somewhat panicked, "Do you also like Jun Yi??? This is unacceptable, it violates ethics and morals, no, no, absolutely not."
"No, it's just that I've always treated Jun Yi like a younger brother, and I never expected him to suddenly become my stepfather. I'm having a hard time adjusting."
Qian Renxue voiced her inner doubts. She had no one to talk to and could only confide her troubles to this aunt she had never met before, who sounded younger than her.
"You don't need to worry about that. With Jun Yi there, he won't let the situation become awkward. Just take it in stride. By the way, if I may ask, what about your father...?"
He is no longer alive.
"That's good... No, no, no, that's not what I meant."
"I know my aunt. If my father were still alive, my mother wouldn't be happy either, and her attitude towards me probably wouldn't be as good as it is now," Qian Renxue said slowly.
"Yes, so don't worry about it so much. I believe you also want your sister to be happy, right?"
"Yes, I hope my mother is happy every day. Thank you, Auntie."
After chatting with her "aunt," Qian Renxue's mood improved significantly. Sometimes people are like that; when they have troubles, talking about them and communicating with others can make them feel much better.
"Could you let me chat with my sister? I miss her so much."
"Of course, I'll go find her right now and have her chat with you."
After saying that, Qian Renxue went to the Spirit Hall to look for Bibi Dong. She went to the study and opened the door, but did not find Bibi Dong.
"Hey, where's Mom? She should be here handling business, right?"
Just as Qian Renxue was wondering, Bibi Dong and Jun Yi walked in side by side.
" Sister Xue'er, you've come to see Sister Dong'er again?" Jun Yi greeted Qian Renxue first.
"Tsk, Xue'er is over here, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to call me Sister Dong'er? I think you should call me Your His Holiness the Pope."
Bibi Dong only then realized that Jun Yi's way of addressing her was a bit off, and corrected Jun Yi.
"It's okay, I don't mind. Mom, the Communication Soul Tool Jun Yi gave me is working again. A little girl said she's my aunt, and she said she misses you all."
"What???"
Jun Yi and Bibi Dong both showed expressions of shock at the same time, appearing remarkably synchronized. Qian Renxue even had the feeling that the two were like a couple who had been together for several years.
"Yes, she said she missed you all, so I came over so you could chat with her." With that, Qian Renxue took out Communication Soul Tool and handed it to Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong and Jun Yi exchanged a glance after receiving the Communication Soul Tool, and then infused it with their Soul Power and Divine Power.
" Xiao Dong, can you hear my voice?"
" Sister Dong'er! I missed you so much!!!!"
