Chapter 164 Breakup
Upon discovering that Jiang Yueying was unharmed, and that Lu Ren and Shen Yaoxing were not in a particular hurry, Lu Youhe, Ji Liguang, and Jiang Yueying were also relieved.
"Sister Xiaoying, you've become so cool!"
Looking at Jiang Yueying, who was now engulfed in black flames, Shen Yu was very excited and wanted to get closer, but he was scared away by the high temperature. In fact, only Lu Ren dared to get within 5 meters of Jiang Yueying. Even Ji Liguang did not dare to get too close.
"Is it that hot?" Lu Ren was a little puzzled; he didn't feel the heat.
Lu Youhe chirped at him, "You're a dead pig, aren't you afraid of getting burned?"
Lu Ren was too lazy to deal with her. He checked Jiang Yueying to see if she was injured, touched her hair that was floating, grabbed her hand and raised it up and then put it down, pinching here and poking there. He squatted down and found that the little girl's small feet, just like Jiang Yan Yan's, had ten nails painted with cherry-like nail polish.
"Why are you touching my foot?"
"Let me see if you're hurt anywhere. I promised your sister I'd protect Yueying."
"How long are you going to keep touching me?"
"How are you feeling now?"
"It's...it's alright, no—it seems pretty good?"
Jiang Yueying looked at her hands and, for some reason, felt a sudden surge of power within her!
At this moment, she felt as if she could easily jump several meters, knock down a dog with one punch, and run 800 meters in one go!
So strong, I'm so strong!
Perhaps even Lu Ren is no match for her now. Thinking this, she recalled Lu Ren's performance just now—swinging four or five swords in a second, leaping several meters away in an instant, and smashing a hole in the ground with a single punch—defeating Lu Ren is a joke!
"But, how come I'm like this now—"
Jiang Yueying was quite embarrassed at this moment. She didn't like being the center of attention in public, especially since she was completely naked.
"Xiaoying, you should be stimulated by the black flames now, so your bloodline has reverted to its ancestral form."
1
"Blood, the bloodline reverting to its ancestral form—"
This situation is uncommon, but not rare either.
The succession of professions is based on blood relations, but there are also variables. The stability of the succession of professions involves a complex set of biological theories such as heredity, variation, skipped generation inheritance, and atavism.
For example, Shen Yaoxing's father was a white-haired shaman, and her mother was a sorcerer. The combination of these two resulted in her being a "stargazer," a rare profession among sorcerers. This is considered a mutation.
However, the profession of "astrologer" does not have stable heritability; it has always appeared through mutation.
If Lu Ren and Shen Yaoxing have offspring, and if the child becomes a professional, then the child will most likely be an awakened white-haired sorcerer, because neither "astrologer" nor "passerby" has stable heritability, but the ancestors in the bloodline have the stable existence of "white-haired sorcerers".
After more than 300 years of development, thousands of professions have been discovered, but only a few hundred are stable and inheritable. These inheritable professions vary in strength, and those with strong professional lineages naturally become powerful clans, such as the Jiang family with the professional lineage of the Demon-Slaying Divine Fire Master.
Jiang Yueying's ancestors were from the Zhennan King's branch, but in Jiang Yueying's branch, a certain ancestor did not awaken a profession, and this branch declined.
For example, Liu Bei claimed to be a descendant of Prince Jing of Zhongshan, but in reality, by his generation, his blood relationship with Emperor Jing of Han was far removed. However, if you look through the family genealogy, you can definitely find a connection in some corner.
As far as Lu Ren knew, Jiang Yueying's ancestors had never produced any professionals. Jiang Yueying's sudden awakening of a profession should have been that of a "Demon-Slaying Fire Master".
If she had truly awakened back then, she probably would have directly acknowledged her ancestors and returned to her clan, which is not uncommon among aristocratic families.
However, Jiang Yueying initially awakened the "Fire Magician of the Masses," which is a stable profession that has mutated. But she still has the bloodline of the Zhennan King's branch, and the Zhennan King was the Burning Sun Realm Demon-Slaying Fire Master who once controlled the "Black Flame" in the royal family.
Now, under the stimulation of the Third Princess's black flames, the bloodline related to the "Demon-Slaying Divine Fire Master" in this girl's body has actually been revived.
What's strange is why the black flames released by the Third Princess are so affectionate towards Jiang Yueying. Even the Third Princess couldn't take them back, but Jiang Yueying easily subdued them, as if the power of the black flames originally belonged to Yueying, and the Third Princess was just borrowing them, and now it's returning them to their rightful owner.
"Young Miss, let me take Yueying to change her clothes first."
Shen Yaoxing happened to have some other things she wanted to ask him. She was about to say that she would go with him when she saw Prince Gong standing to the side. She simply waved her hand and told him to take Jiang Yueying away quickly.
"Miss Haruka, may I ask who that little girl was?"
Shen Yaoxing didn't answer, but instead smiled and asked, "Your Highness, shall we not continue today's program?"
Prince Gong laughed heartily, "Of course we'll continue, but the view from here isn't great. Miss Yaoxing, why don't you move to the viewing area over there?"
.
Why are you calling me over? This old man has already figured it out himself. Jiang Yueying has awakened her bloodline, but she's already mine. Does the royal family want to take her away? If they're so capable, they should talk to Shen Wangshu. Why are you making such a fuss? It's so troublesome. I still need to go find Lu Ren and ask him who he stole a kiss from!
Ignoring the little hamster jumping around in her mind, Shen Yaoxing put on a polite smile, "It is my honor to receive Your Highness's invitation."
In everyone's eyes, the Third Princess was almost certain to win the final duel between Lu Ren and the Third Princess. However, after Jiang Yan Yan used that move, she was exhausted and could no longer support herself to participate in the next match.
The subsequent changes, and the woman with black flames burning on her body who was being protected by Lu Ren, caused a stir among the crowd. When Jiang Yanyan saw Jiang Yueying, her eyebrows twitched.
What's going on? Where did this girl come from? Why does she also have black flames?
She had a guess in her heart that this little girl probably had some connection with the royal family, but what did she mean by saying that with the help of her master, she finally comprehended the strongest divine fire in the clan, only to have it become something that was commonplace?
Lu Ren hadn't forgotten why he participated in this competition. Before taking Yueying to change clothes, he asked, "Although the Third Princess went easy on me, what about that New Year's tea—?"
"For a powerful individual like you, the benefits of a year's tea are probably less than those of a few days of arduous training, aren't they?"
Despite saying that, she still kept her promise. In fact, for professionals offstage, being able to appear in front of a group of important figures was the real matter, and the so-called New Year's tea was more of an extra.
When Lu Ren drank the tea, he did feel a strange power within his body, a sense of satisfaction as if he had obtained a rare and precious treasure. If Lu Ren were to describe it, it would be that it was sweet and quite delicious.
Just then, the master suddenly said, "Indeed."
He asked curiously, "What do you mean, 'as expected'?"
"This New Year's tea is related to the remnants of the Tai Sui (a deity in Chinese folklore)."
Lu Ren was taken aback. "So that means—"
"The third fragment of the Tai Sui is in the hands of the royal family."
"I see."
Now the three fragments of the Tai Sui are scattered: one is in the master's hands, one is suspected to still be in the hands of the Gu family, and the other is in the hands of the Jiang family of the Dayu royal family.
To restore Master, we need to obtain the fragment of Tai Sui's body from the other two families. However, it is said that the last person to collect all three fragments of Tai Sui's body was none other than the Great Celestial Venerable who ruled over all ages. It may contain the Great Celestial Venerable's powerful secrets. If we were to compare it to "Battle Through the Heavens," this thing would be the "Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade." Those who know the importance of Tai Sui's body fragments will probably fight desperately for it, while secretly being wary of the covetousness from the Divine Cult—difficult, difficult, difficult!
Lu Ren remained expressionless. After thanking the Third Princess, he prepared to leave with Jiang Yueying. Jiang Yanyan glanced at the two of them and said, "Let her come with me. I also need to change my clothes."
"I'll go with you."
"What, are you afraid I'll eat her? Although I don't know why you control the Black Flame, if I'm not mistaken, your ancestors should be related to the Jiang family, right?"
"This child's ancestors were from the Zhennan King's lineage, but no one in the previous generations has awakened a professional. She must have experienced a regression to her ancestral traits."
"I'm talking to her, what's the point of you being the only one answering?"
"Your Highness, would you like to take a picture with me?"
"what?"
Lu Ren took out his phone and started taking a photo with the camera.
Jiang Yanyan was a child star when she was young. Her professionalism from childhood made her instinctively make a peace sign when she saw the camera. However, she immediately realized her current state. Although her magic body would not reveal any parts, if you had to say, she was indeed completely naked at the moment!
"Wait a minute."
"Click"
Lu Ren helped Jiang Yueying change her clothes. When she came out, she was wearing a light green dress and looked very lively and cute. When Jiang Yueying came out and saw that Lu Ren was still there, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Is it changed?"
-
"It's changed, it's changed. Go back, Lu Ren."
Show me your job panel.
"oh oh."
She was like a dutiful daughter-in-law, doing whatever Lu Ren told her to do. She then brought up her job panel, and Lu Ren went over to look and found that her job had indeed changed.
Originally a fire mage, he has now become a black flame mage, and has gained two new talents.
Black Flame: When using fire magic, black flames are released. The temperature is extremely high, and the flames can be used to judge beasts and villains.
The Undying Flame Demon True Form, which is the form she just took, can enhance her physical attributes, greatly increase the power of her magic, and reduce energy consumption.
"Black, black flames, so cool!"
After realizing she was alright, Jiang Yueying was a little excited. Black flames appeared on her hands. She didn't know how strong they were, but she thought they looked really cool!
"Stay still, I'm going to take a picture of your sister."
"I take pictures of her every day, but I don't want her to see them."
"Then show it to your mom."
"Huh! Why, why do you even have my mom's contact information?!"
"Hurry up, give me a peace sign."
"You, you take the picture, make it look good."
Jiang Yueying had gotten used to it, like clocking in for school every day. But seeing Lu Ren holding his phone up to her face always made her feel a little awkward.
However, she still awkwardly made a peace sign and forced a somewhat weak smile.
"I sent it, but how did it end up in your family group chat?"
Jiang Yueying: "————" Did she hear something strange? Why is this person in her family group chat?
She tried to take out her phone, but found it was burned. She quickly grabbed Lu Ren's arm and stood on tiptoe to look. Sure enough, she found that he was in a group chat called "We are a loving family".
There were seven or eight people inside, and now Lu Ren has suddenly appeared.
Lu Ren was about to back down, but by then Grandma Jiang Yueying had already seen him.
Grandma: Oh my, Xiaoying, what kind of look is this? / (covers mouth and laughs) Grandma: Xiaolu, help Grandma see which scarf looks better. Grandma: [images][images][images] ·————
While typing a reply to his grandmother, Lu Ren said to her, "Need I say more? It was definitely your sister who dragged me there. Speaking of which, when we go back from Yanzhou this time, your sister is going to drag me to your house to meet your parents—"
As Lu Ren said this, he suddenly looked at her and said, "Xiao Ying, let's break up!"
'
"Break up?!"
Jiang Yueying never imagined that she, who had never been in a relationship, never confessed her feelings, and never been confessed to, would first hear a breakup request!
Lu Ren was helpless. Jiang Yueying's sister was too powerful, bombarding him with messages every day and even giving his WeChat to Jiang Yueying's family.
I added him to the family group a while ago, and Lu Ren was really nervous. But when he got in, wow, it was all familiar faces.
Actually, I've been one of you all for a long time — what a load of rubbish!
With a solemn expression, Lu Ren pressed Xiao Budian's shoulder and said, "Xiao Ying, you may not know, but if we don't break up soon, we'll be getting engaged when we get back from Yanzhou this time."
"We're engaged!"
She genuinely didn't know, because she had set all the family group chat messages to "Do Not Disturb." It wasn't that she had a bad relationship with her family; her phone was always on silent, and all group chats were set to "Do Not Disturb."
Lu Ren, while operating his phone, said to her, "Because Grandma is getting old and her health isn't very good, she said she wants to see you get married as soon as possible."
Jiang Yueying was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. She knew that her grandmother had been unwell recently and was hoping to see her and her sister get married and have children.
Lu Ren said, "One lie requires countless lies to cover it up. It started with Lin Huanghu and You Rong, and then it was your sister. Now, without realizing it, it has become like this."
Even after we return from Yanzhou, it's okay if I go home with you to visit them. Even if I'm not your boyfriend, it's perfectly reasonable for me to visit them as Xiaoying's companion.
But if this lie continued, Lu Ren felt that things were going to get strange, especially with his amazing older sister Jiang Ke around.
In fact, Lu Ren suspected that this extraordinary woman had long guessed his relationship with Yueying. Many times, Lu Ren was ready to confront her, but she always skillfully changed the subject, for example:
Xiaolu definitely hasn't seen Xiaoying's school swimsuit photos taken at the beach last year, right? I have the whole set here, I'll send them to you now — Damn it, she's been completely manipulated!
Jiang Yueying looked somewhat forlorn and a little uneasy as she asked Lu Ren, "Grandma, is she still sick?"
She had a strange feeling about her. Why did Lu Ren know more about her grandmother's health condition than she did?
