Chapter 159 Hu Liena: Brother Jiang Nian is right.
"Oh? Really?" Hu Liena stopped her tears, her bright eyes blinking.
"Of course."
Jiang Nian took out a tissue and handed it to her: "Wipe it off, and wipe your nose too."
The girl blushed, gave a soft "Mmm," and turned away to wipe her nose. She felt a little embarrassed. If only she had held back a little longer... Jiang Nian looked at the majestic Papal Palace, gently patted her head, and said, "Let's go first."
Hu Liena followed a couple of steps behind, her steps becoming much lighter. Her earlier sadness had vanished, and she was now in the mood to joke with him.
Bibi Dong walked out of the Papal Palace, her brows furrowing as she watched the two figures leave. She was especially annoyed when she noticed Hu Liena clinging to Jiang Nian's arm.
"She's being disobedient again."
"She's such a headache..."
Bibi Dong sighed softly, turned and left, leaving only the clatter of her high heels.
Without Qian Renxue, Hu Liena was very happy every day, since Jiang Nian would never refuse any of her requests whenever she went to him.
However, she spent most of her time cultivating.
Jiang Nian's cultivation was improving rapidly, and he would hone his soul skills and soul bone skills whenever he had free time.
He only cultivated at night when he was sleeping, and taught Hu Liena and the others during the day.
"Brother Jiang Nian, I've learned another way to charm people, do you want to try it?"
A short-haired girl approached him, her aura surrounding him. Jiang Nian put down the book in his hand without even blinking.
"What kind of weird charm skill is it now? When are you going to learn something good?"
Hu Liena shyly stuck out her pink tongue, lowered her head, and took his arm.
"It's called seduction... so you definitely have to use your full power!"
"Besides... I only use it on Brother Jiang Nian."
The long-haired boy tapped her head, then shook his head in refusal.
"Use this time to focus on your cultivation."
"Stop with those useless things."
Jiang Nian picked up his book again and started reading. Hu Liena lowered her head, rubbed her head, and sat down beside him, lost in thought. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at his handsome profile, and her cheeks began to burn.
He was still as handsome as before, and now that his hair was longer, he possessed an ethereal, otherworldly quality.
She could sit and look at him for three days and three nights without getting tired of it.
She truly envied Sister Xiaoxue for having him completely.
Hu Liena rested her chin on her hands, sighed, and stared at the ants on the ground as they moved.
How could she win over Brother Jiang Nian?
Seduction wouldn't work, strength, talent, or background wouldn't work either.
Hu Liena was somewhat confused, unsure of what he truly liked.
"Na'er."
"Hmm? Here!"
The girl straightened up instantly, waiting for his instructions.
Jiang Nian put the book in his storage soul tool, glanced at the sun in the sky, and said calmly, "Time for training."
"Attack me with all your might. Today, we'll continue to hone your mental strength."
Hu Liena's eyes lit up. This training mission was her favorite. Every time Brother Jiang Nian guided her seriously, she would be exhausted and drenched in sweat afterward.
It felt better than anything else.
Moreover, she could feel herself improving little by little.
Although she was only a Soul Master now, controlling ordinary Soul Sects was effortless!
"Okay!"
Hu Liena curled up her lips and immediately activated her strongest skill.
A pink light flashed in Jiang Nian's eyes. In the illusion, he saw a little fox wearing black silk, bewitching him.
If it were a Soul Emperor or Soul Saint dealing with him like this, it would be fine, but a mere Soul Venerable couldn't be affected no matter what he did.
Jiang Nian's eyes were clear, and he quickly found the flaw.
Hu Liena gritted her teeth and fought even more bravely. He would occasionally give her a few pointers to improve her charm techniques.
The little fox also learned quickly and listened to Jiang Nian very well.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.
Hu Liena's soul power was almost exhausted. She lay on the ground, panting heavily, her body covered in sweat from the battle.
She didn't feel very tired; on the contrary, she felt very refreshed.
Brother Jiang Nian already had a heavy workload, and he often instructed her in cultivation. Just the time they spent alone together made her very happy.
"In the future, I should change my approach to charming people. Not everyone likes the same template."
Hu Liena pricked up her ears, humbly seeking advice.
Although she usually received guidance from the teachers at the Martial Soul Academy, she had mostly figured things out on her own. It was normal that she didn't know much.
"Brother Jiang Nian, what should I do?"
The girl sat down beside him, swinging her legs and staring intently into his eyes.
It was unclear whether she was looking at him or listening to his lecture.
"Your martial soul can arouse the desires and emotions of soul masters, allowing for manipulation, but you can't always seduce them in your own image, can you?"
"Like transforming into someone else?"
Hu Liena tilted her head and blinked. "Besides Sister Xiaoxue and His Holiness the Pope, is there anyone... prettier than me?"
Jiang Nian: "..."
Goodness, she didn't pay attention to the main point at all.
"It's different. For example, everyone has someone they truly love in their heart. That person might not be here, might leave, or might not even know you."
"But you just like her (him)."
A phrase came to Jiang Nian's mind:
A fake honey trap: A hot, alluring beauty seduces you.
The true beauty trap:
One day you meet a girl who looks seven parts like her, dressed in a white dress, standing in front of you playfully saying, "Hehe, long time no see~"
"Why are you still the same as before?"
"Straighten your back, don't slouch!"
"XX classmate, have you forgotten what I said?!"
"You're acting like a fool."
Jiang Nian explained the gist of the situation to Hu Liena. In this world of love, if she could master this trick, she felt that even crossing one or two major realms to defeat enemies wouldn't be a problem.
After a while, Hu Liena stared at the boy in front of her in shock, opening her mouth as if to speak but then stopping.
"Brother Jiang Nian, who is the person in your heart?"
Even though she already had the answer, she still couldn't help but ask.
Hu Liena nervously bit her lower lip, letting the cold air blow on her face, even though it stung, she still stared straight into his eyes.
"Me?"
Jiang Nian was taken aback, his gaze turning to the distance, slowly softening.
He didn't reply, but simply fastened the buttons on his snow-woven robe, his neck tucked into the blue scarf.
Winter was cold, but he was dressed in clothes the girl had chosen, their warmth warding off the chilling winds that tried to sneak in.
Even without her by his side, her presence remained.
"Guess."
