Although Hu Liena's attitude was a bit fierce, Jiang Chen could still sense the deep concern coming from her.
Hu Liena also quickly let go of her hand. "How is it? Did it hurt you?"
Jiang Chen shook his head. "It doesn't hurt."
"Let's go eat. The food is almost cold."
Hu Liena treated him like her own little brother, giving Jiang Chen a feeling of being cherished and protected.
This kind of feeling was something he had never experienced in either his previous life or this one. Thinking of Hu Liena's tragic fate in the future, he suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
That kid Tang San doesn't understand romance. Perhaps he should do something to prevent the future Hu Liena from falling in love with Tang San.
After dinner, Hu Liena took him to meet Bibi Dong again.
When she saw Jiang Chen's face completely unharmed, Bibi Dong was somewhat surprised.
According to her expectations, after Qian Renxue realized she hadn't appeared, she should have vented her anger on Jiang Chen again.
But today, Jiang Chen was perfectly fine, and there were no major issues with the rest of his body either.
"That older sister didn't hit you today?" Bibi Dong asked.
"She did, but later she helped heal me," Jiang Chen replied.
Bibi Dong grew even more surprised. "She didn't lose her temper or say anything?"
Jiang Chen shook his head. "No, she apologized to me, said she shouldn't have been so heavy-handed yesterday. After knowing my purpose, she readily agreed and trained with me all afternoon."
Bibi Dong stopped asking questions. Jiang Chen had no idea what she was thinking.
"Nana, you only have three days left before heading to the Spirit Hall Academy. Spend these next few days properly accompanying Chen'er."
"Understood, Teacher." Hu Liena replied. Suddenly, she felt a sense of reluctance toward both Bibi Dong and Jiang Chen.
In the past, besides her brother, she had no other close people. Now she had two more: her teacher and her junior brother.
"Alright, you two can go back now. Remember to cultivate your soul power tonight."
…
After returning to their residence, Jiang Chen took a bath and then went out to cultivate. He didn't dare stay by Hu Liena's side for even a moment.
But this behavior of his was seen by Hu Liena, and it only made the desire to conquer him grow stronger in her heart.
It wasn't the romantic kind of conquest, just the desire to successfully make Jiang Chen unable to extricate himself from her charm ability.
Early in the morning, Jiang Chen returned relatively early and happened to catch the moment when Hu Liena's fox tail retracted.
He was very curious about the beast transformation of beast martial souls. They would undergo partial beastification, and some martial souls would cause extra parts to grow on the soul master's body.
For example, elongated ears or growing a tail.
Jiang Chen didn't know why Hu Liena would release her martial soul while sleeping—perhaps because it felt comfortable, or maybe it was a habit formed from living in a cruel environment in the past.
Hu Liena's body proportions were extremely perfect: a slender waist that could be grasped in one hand, and an astonishing curve rising between her back and hips.
In the instant the fox's tail retracted, Jiang Chen unavoidably caught a glimpse of some things he shouldn't have seen.
Hu Liena casually put on her outer clothes as if no one was around. In her eyes, the six-year-old Jiang Chen obviously didn't count as a man, just a clueless little kid.
After breakfast, Hu Liena, who had already been on guard, grabbed Jiang Chen, who was trying to sneak away again, and once more began her ruthless experiments.
…
After breakfast, Qian Renxue went to the training field to wait. She had instructed Jiang Chen yesterday to come early. Now, helping Jiang Chen train had become secondary; her main purpose was to hear a few more touching love stories like the ones from yesterday.
However, after waiting an entire hour, Jiang Chen still hadn't appeared.
Qian Renxue furrowed her delicate brows, stood up, and walked out.
Since Jiang Chen hadn't come, she would go see for herself. She guessed he might still be sleeping in.
If that was the case, she wouldn't mind giving his butt a few hard smacks. He was about to go to the concentration camp soon, and being this lazy definitely deserved a beating.
She knew the location of the Pope's palace, and at this time Bibi Dong had already gone out to handle Spirit Hall affairs and wouldn't be in the palace.
With no concerns, she walked straight in. After wandering inside the Pope's palace for a while, she suddenly heard Jiang Chen's pleading voice coming in fits and starts.
"Not sleeping in? It sounds like he's being bullied?" Thinking this, her footsteps immediately quickened.
In her heart, Jiang Chen had already become something like a little brother. She would not allow anyone to bully him.
If someone did, she absolutely would not let them off lightly.
She quickly approached following the direction of the sound. When she got close to the small building where Jiang Chen lived, she finally heard his voice clearly.
"Senior Sister, don't!"
"Senior Sister, please let me go!"
"Senior Sister, I can't take it anymore."
In addition, there was a girl's giggling laughter, filled with intense seduction. Even Qian Renxue, standing downstairs, felt dazed for a moment.
But she quickly broke free from the charm. As a woman, the charm effect was naturally weakened against her, and there was also a gap in strength; Hu Liena's charm posed no threat to her.
She knew Bibi Dong had a disciple with a fox martial soul, but had never seen her. She hadn't expected to encounter Hu Liena's charm ability under these circumstances.
Her pretty face instantly filled with fury. This fox vixen was actually using her charm ability to torment little Chen. To lay hands on a six-year-old boy, truly shameless.
Little Chen couldn't possibly resist this kind of allure. He might have already fallen victim…
Rage surged in her heart. Soul power surged. With a powerful stomp, she leaped straight from below to the second floor and kicked the door open. The scene inside immediately came into view.
At this moment, Jiang Chen was forced to sit on the sofa by Hu Liena, while Hu Liena stood in front of him. Her large tail kept swaying, and her two soul rings flickered on and off as she performed seductive movements.
Jiang Chen would fall into a daze at times but quickly snap out of it, repeatedly cycling between the two states.
Seeing this scene, how could Qian Renxue endure it? Her chest nearly exploded with anger.
"You fox vixen, I'm going to kill you!"
In her rage, Qian Renxue directly released her martial soul. Her first soul skill, Angel Assault, activated. A golden, radiant fist blasted toward Hu Liena.
The moment the door was kicked open, Hu Liena had already noticed. A strange girl had actually broken down her door. Before she could get angry, the other party attacked first.
The three soul rings on the opponent made her heart jolt. She immediately guessed this was the girl who had been training Jiang Chen.
Hu Liena unleashed two skills in succession. Her fluffy tail emitted red light as her charm ability activated to the maximum.
Even Qian Renxue was dazed for an instant under the charm. Hu Liena, who had nearly been hit, instantly vanished from in front of her fist.
Hu Liena dodged to the side. Realizing her charm had little effect on Qian Renxue, her heart sank. A cold, gleaming dagger appeared in her hand.
"Both of you, stop!" Jiang Chen stood up and roared.
The two girls looked at his furious expression, glared fiercely at each other, and both withdrew their martial souls.
Qian Renxue quickly walked to Jiang Chen's side and sat down, asking with concern, "Little Chen, are you alright?"
Then she looked at Hu Liena beside them and angrily said, "Is this how you treat your own junior brother? He's still just a child!"
Hu Liena's face flushed red. Being called out by Qian Renxue left her speechless. Using Jiang Chen to test her charm really put her in the wrong. She hadn't expected Qian Renxue to catch her in the act.
Facing this situation, Jiang Chen felt a headache. Although Hu Liena's charm was somewhat uncomfortable, he had discovered that under this kind of torment, his willpower was strengthening. Gradually, he no longer resisted her behavior so much.
He didn't want to see the two women fight.
"Sister Xue'er, I'm fine. Aren't I about to go to the concentration camp? Senior Sister is tempering my willpower. You misunderstood."
"Really?" Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment before asking doubtfully.
Jiang Chen nodded. "Really."
"Then why were you shouting so loudly earlier?"
Jiang Chen's face reddened. "That was me reaching my limit. Only by breaking through the limit can one become stronger. Senior Sister said that people with strong willpower won't be swayed by others and will have greater courage when facing difficulties."
Qian Renxue's face also reddened. She believed Jiang Chen's words. So she had misunderstood Hu Liena.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know you were training little Chen." She said apologetically.
Hu Liena said awkwardly, "It's fine. You were just concerned about him."
"Sister Xue'er, you go back first. I'll come find you in the afternoon," Jiang Chen said, pushing Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue stood up. "Alright then, make sure you come early in the afternoon."
Then she looked at Hu Liena and said, "I'll leave little Chen's willpower training to you. Don't go easy on him, feel free to be ruthless."
With that, she didn't linger any longer and quickly left. It was too embarrassing; she had misunderstood someone and even started a fight.
After Qian Renxue left, Hu Liena walked over with a beaming smile. "You little rascal, you're quite good at talking, huh? Well then, Senior Sister will continue tempering your willpower now."
"Come on, Senior Sister. Torture me however you want, no holds barred." Jiang Chen faced death with equanimity.
He believed that after Hu Liena's training, he would have strong resistance to feminine charms in the future.
Even if he encountered charm-type skills, he would be able to shake them off easily.
