Ah Yin Wants to Make a Move on Her Master

The trip to the Star Dou Great Forest had been a success. They had resolved the matter of both disciples' Soul Rings and gained a nanny with some strength to boot.

As for the Silver Dragon King, that had been an unexpected encounter, but hardly a pleasant surprise.

Even Di Tian had that kind of strength, so the God Kings of the Douluo Continent were not as useless as people who called the setting the floor tiles of fantasy made them out to be.

On the way back to the Heaven Dou Empire, Jiang Nian kept mulling over Di Tian's sword strike.

It was the result of mastering the two laws of space and darkness. Had Jiang Nian not been a Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint who had also mastered the power of laws, he might not have been certain to defeat Di Tian in a fight.

"Although Gu Yuena is only a part of the Dragon God, she also possesses some of the Dragon God's authority. As I am now, I can't yet emerge unscathed from a God King-level battle."

Jiang Nian sighed and looked at Qian Renxue and Ah Yin.

Qian Renxue was still young, after all. No matter how quickly she cultivated, she could not possibly evolve her Martial Soul fully into a Seraphim in a matter of months.

Ah Yin, on the other hand, already had some strength, and her Blue Silver bloodline had evolved into the Blue Silver Divine Tree. She could communicate with the power of Douluo Star's earth veins, and she was close to becoming a World Tree.

As long as one disciple fully unlocked her template, he could unlock one of the top ten Heavenly Flames.

His strength would undergo a qualitative transformation then.

Heaven Dou City was the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire; its prosperity went without saying.

Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong were already accustomed to such bustling streets, but it was Ah Yin's first time in a place like this, and she was curious about everything.

Dugu Bo came out of the city with his retainers to welcome the group and take them to his residence in Heaven Dou City. "Dugu Bo respectfully welcomes you, Senior!"

Jiang Nian nodded. "Has any trouble arisen at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

Dugu Bo cupped his fists. "Your subordinate and the two Titled Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have reinforced the formations around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. It would be no exaggeration to say the place is now as impregnable as a fortress."

"Good. It's a treasured place, and leaving it empty would only let it go to waste. Tell Ning Fengzhi that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect may relocate to Sunset Forest. Tell him I have given my permission."

"Your subordinate will certainly pass the message along!"

Bibi Dong could not help being surprised as she listened to their conversation.

That day, she had only known that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect seemed to be cooperating with Jiang Nian. She had never imagined that the proud and arrogant sect had actually become his subordinate.

Once everything was arranged, Dugu Bo returned with his son and daughter-in-law. He looked at Jiang Nian somewhat awkwardly. "Senior, this is my worthless son and his wife. I wonder..."

Jiang Nian understood at once. Dugu Bo had undergone Martial Soul Evolution and wanted to ask for one for his descendants as well.

He glanced at Dugu Bo's daughter-in-law and discovered that she was pregnant.

Jiang Nian was generous to his own people. He took two bottles out of his Storage Ring. "Take them."

Delight appeared on Dugu Bo's face. "I will never forget your kindness as long as I live, Senior. I will serve you at every step!"

"There's no need for that, though I do have some things I need you to do." Jiang Nian beckoned his two disciples over.

"Xue'er may be young, but she is already a Soul Grandmaster. She has plenty of experience fighting Soul Beasts, but because she strikes ruthlessly against them, she's somewhat lacking in her ability to rein in her strength. Make arrangements at the Soul Fighting Arena and register Xue'er and Ah Yin."

Dugu Bo looked troubled. "Senior... Miss Xue'er would be fine, but having Miss Ah Yin take part in Soul Fighting... wouldn't that be a bit too unfair to the others?"

Never mind that Ah Yin was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. With her Soul Emperor cultivation alone, wouldn't she simply be crushing weaklings at the Soul Fighting Arena?

Jiang Nian waved a hand. "The Soul Fighting Arena's rules only require participants to be under twenty-five. By human reckoning, both my disciples are under twenty-five. Why can't they take part?"

"Besides, Ah Yin will only provide support and won't use any offensive Soul Skills. Mainly, I'm a little protective of my own and can't bear to see my disciple get hurt."

Dugu Bo's Adam's apple bobbed. Then why enter a Soul Fighting competition at all? Wasn't it perfectly normal for Soul Masters to get hurt in battle?

Though Dugu Bo was in a difficult position, Jiang Nian had already made himself clear, so he could hardly make excuses. He could only cup his fists. "Your subordinate understands!"

Only after Dugu Bo left did Jiang Nian give his two disciples their instructions.

He looked at Qian Renxue. "Xue'er, Soul Fighting competitions aren't like killing Soul Beasts. They place greater demands on your control over your strength and Soul Power. For the time being, you'll keep taking part in matches at Heaven Dou City's Soul Fighting Arena. I have no other demands: just win a diamond badge within three years."

Qian Renxue nodded. "Xue'er will not disappoint you, Teacher!"

Bibi Dong opened her mouth. In three years, Xue'er would only be nine. Wasn't demanding a diamond badge from a nine-year-old a little too harsh?

But seeing that Jiang Nian had made up his mind, she could hardly say anything more. She merely poured tea in silence at his side.

Jiang Nian turned to Ah Yin. "You're a Soul Emperor, and you were originally a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, so there's no need to discuss your control over Soul Power. This time, you'll just provide support for your senior sister Xue'er."

Ah Yin puffed out her cheeks. "But Teacher, support fighters get beaten up easily. A whole group will definitely target me. Can't I fight back?"

Jiang Nian smiled. "Isn't your senior sister Xue'er there to protect you? You're a Soul Emperor. No matter how carefully you control your strength, you might still seriously injure someone. This is also a test of your temperament."

"When you carry a deadly weapon, murderous intent arises of its own accord. But killing isn't the answer to every problem. If someone is your enemy, of course you should be glad to get rid of them, but you must learn to suppress your murderous intent. It will benefit your cultivation in the future."

Ah Yin was a little dejected. She had wanted to show off in front of everyone. "All right, this disciple understands."

"Since you understand, go and rest."

"I want to sleep with Teacher!" Qian Renxue sprang up and ran out, heading straight for the room Dugu Bo had arranged for Jiang Nian.

"That girl... I hope she won't be so clingy when she's older." Jiang Nian felt a little helpless. He looked at Ah Yin, who had not moved. "Is there something else?"

Ah Yin looked at Jiang Nian and blinked. "Teacher, Ah Yin is warmer than Xue'er when warming your bed. I want to as well..."

"You rebellious disciple, I'm your teacher!"

Ah Yin stuck out her tongue and ran out. "Fine, I won't sleep with you. Why did you have to shout so loudly?"

Bibi Dong cupped her fists. "Senior... may I go and watch over Xue'er when she takes part in Soul Fighting?"

Jiang Nian rose. He had little fondness for this woman whose head was full of romance. If not for Qian Renxue, there was no way Bibi Dong would have survived.

"Xue'er is your daughter. If you want to watch her, am I supposed to stop you?"

"Thank you, Senior." Bibi Dong breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew, only to find Ah Yin waiting outside for her.

Bibi Dong was puzzled. "Is something the matter, Miss Ah Yin?"

Ah Yin smiled carefree. "I have a question. Don't get angry when I ask."

Bibi Dong had a bad feeling about this, but she steeled herself and nodded. "Please ask, Miss Ah Yin. I'll tell you everything I know."

Ah Yin stood on tiptoe and checked whether Jiang Nian had come out. Seeing no one, she lowered her voice. "How did your teacher get you into that secret room back then? Why does my teacher look at me as if I'm an idiot? He clearly agreed to let me warm his bed back then!"

Bibi Dong was stunned.

Do you have any manners? Did you have to pick at my wounds?

She reminded her, "Miss Ah Yin, you're Senior's disciple."

Ah Yin understood instantly. "So I have to sever my master-disciple relationship with him first? I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Sister Dong'er!"

As Ah Yin's last words continued to echo, Bibi Dong felt as though the sky had fallen.

Was that really Senior's disciple? She was a demon pill, plain and simple!

What guidance? I was reminding you not to mess around with that relationship!
