[Ma Xiaotao: I don't understand either. Jiang Nannan and Tang San don't seem to have any connection, right?]
[Dugu Yan: Wait...]
[Dugu Yan: Jiang Nannan's Martial Soul is the same as Xiao Wu's. Could it be...???]
[Cute Snow Woman 1: The biggest victim, plus the exact same Soft Bones Rabbit Martial Soul, so...???]
[ Little Snow Woman 2: This melon is too big!]
[Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: Oh my god, Wang Dong'er, you have an older sister now!]
[Wang Dong'er:???]
[Ning Rongrong: Don't tell me Jiang Nannan is Xiao Wu's long-lost biological daughter?]
[Jiang Nannan:???]
[Xiao Wu: Are you guys being polite?]
Jiang Nannan was also dazed at this moment. She looked up at Leon beside her and asked, "Brother Leon, Xiao Wu and I don't have any connection, right?"
Leon was also between laughter and tears as he said:
"Don't pay attention to their nonsense. How could you have a connection with Xiao Wu? A Rou is also a Soft Bones Rabbit; does that mean you have to be related to A Rou as well?"
Jiang Nannan nodded and didn't say anything more.
[Number Nine: Do you think there's a possibility that Jiang Nannan could also be Xiao Wu's biological older sister?]
[A Rou:???]
[Ah Yin: As expected of you!]
[Liu Erlong: Following No. 9's logic, I thought about it... Jiang Nannan could also be Xiao Wu's biological aunt.]
[Bibi Dong: This is getting more and more ridiculous.]
[Zhu Zhuqing: Stop guessing blindly. Jiang Nannan is a human, while A Rou and Xiao Wu were both Soul Beasts before.]
[Leon: Alright, stop joking. This biggest victim I'm talking about is Jiang Nannan, under Tang San's series of actions.]
[Leon: Let's put it this way: Jiang Nannan is an epitome of this era's tragedy, but she's not just one person; she represents the tragedy faced by all ordinary people in this era.]
[Bo Saixi: As expected of you, Leon. Every time you start eating melons, the beginning alone manages to attract me.]
[Shui Yue'er: You're wrong. Leon doesn't even need to speak; just standing there, his flashy temperament is enough to attract me.]
[Shui Binger: Damn.]
[Leon: Although I often say Tang San's behavior is worse than a beast's and have been emphasizing that the existence of Spirit Hall is a blessing for ordinary people across the continent, I haven't shown it to you intuitively.]
[Leon: Today we're eating Jiang Nannan's melon. I will use facts to let you see all of this intuitively!]
[Dark Avenger: I don't understand.]
[Ling Luochen: If you could understand, you would have stopped talking about reviving the Tang Sect long ago.]
[Leon: Jiang Nannan, Martial Soul: Soft Bones Rabbit, Innate Spirit Power: Rank 8. She can be considered a rare Genius.]
[Leon: Compared to Bai Chenxiang's family forcing hardship on themselves, Jiang Nannan is truly suffering.]
[Bai Chenxiang:???]
[Dugu Yan: Learning something new every day—Bai Chenxiang, forcing hardship on herself!]
[Number Nine: Every time we eat melons, a lucky audience member is randomly selected to be publicly flogged!]
[Bai Chenxiang:...]
[Leon: Your Speed Clan is purely looking for trouble. The Clear Sky Clan doesn't even take you seriously, yet you pride yourselves on your integrity and backbone, refusing to accept help from others.]
[Leon: If you had just learned from the shamelessness of Tang San and Shrek and taken the subsidies from Spirit Hall, your life would have been manageable, wouldn't it?]
Bai Chenxiang was also depressed.
If it were before, she might have had something to say, but after hearing so many of Leon's melons, she had matured quite a bit.
Her Speed Clan really was forcing hardship on themselves. If they had been a bit more shameless and taken the Spirit Hall subsidies, would their lives have been so unsustainable?
[Leon: Next, let's talk about the normal plot without my intervention.]
[Leon: Although Nannan has the talent of Rank 8 Innate Spirit Power, she comes from a commoner background and has depended on her mother since childhood. Her mother has always been plagued by illness. I don't need to say more; you can imagine the situation.]
[Leon: Let me mention here that Jiang Nannan's mother has a serious congenital heart problem. She needs the Xuanwu Divine Pill from the Xuanming Sect to improve her heart condition. At the same time, she needs long-term proper care to recover.]
[Leon: But the mother and daughter certainly had no money for treatment, so they could only endure. Until the year she turned fourteen, her mother became critically ill and desperately needed the extremely expensive Xuanming Creation Pill to save her life.]
[Leon: But in this era without the checks and balances of Spirit Hall, top-tier medical and cultivation resources have long been completely monopolized by the nobility and Sects. For a commoner girl with no background to get this life-saving medicine, it's as difficult as climbing to the heavens!]
[Dugu Yan: It's over! The angst is coming.]
[Bibi Dong: Surely not? For a Genius with Rank 8 Innate Spirit Power, wouldn't someone be willing to Cultivate and help her?]
[Number Nine: Sister Pope, you seem to have forgotten that to enter Shrek Academy, one must pay a large amount of tuition and needs a recommendation letter from someone at the city lord level.]
[Number Nine: This is the Douluo World 2. If even Shrek Academy, which claims to Cultivate monsters among monsters, is like this, would others do such things for free?]
[Ling Luochen: In Jiang Nannan's situation, there really was no way to save her mother.]
[Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: Don't tell me Sister Nannan's mother...]
[Qian Renxue: If it was our world, the Spirit Hall would definitely do its best to cultivate and ensure the safety of her family, but Shrek Academy definitely wouldn't.]
Leon held the girl in his arms, his heart filled with complex emotions.
[Leon: A commoner girl with no background, even with Rank 8 Innate Spirit Power, simply couldn't get that life-saving medicine.]
[Leon: The final outcome was—selling herself to save her mother. She was forced to become a Vessel for the Xuanming Sect's Young Master, Xu Sanshi, to awaken his Divine Beast Martial Soul, trading her lifelong dignity for a chance at her mother's life.]
[Leon: To put it more bluntly, this is just Jiang Nannan; she at least had a chance to sell herself to save her mother. Many more people might not even have the opportunity to sell themselves to save their parents.]
Everyone in the Group Chat felt their moods become complex after seeing Leon's words.
[Bibi Dong: Little Brother Leon is right. Jiang Nannan still had the chance to sell herself to save her mother, gaining a glimmer of hope. But on such a vast Douluo Continent, how many people don't even have that chance?]
[Qian Renxue: This world is truly sick.]
[Liu Erlong: Tang San is truly a beast!]
[Dark Avenger: Poor Nannan. I always thought you were just stingy; I didn't expect your background to be so tragic.]
[Zhu Zhuqing: You only call someone stingy if they have money. In Jiang Nannan's case, where she can't even get enough to eat, how can you call it being stingy?]
[Bai Chenxiang: I can somewhat empathize. Every Bronze Soul Coin is so precious that one wishes they could split it in two.]
[Ma Xiaotao: Ancestor, just stop. Jiang Nannan is truly suffering; yours is purely forcing hardship on yourself!]
[Ma Xiaotao: When Ancestor Ning Rongrong sent you Gold Soul Coins, you didn't even want them... Look at Ancestor Xiao Wu; she snatched twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins right after joining the Group Chat and immediately achieved carrot freedom.]
[Xiao Wu: I, Loves Eating Carrots, will protect the Little Princess with my life.]
[Ning Rongrong: Sisters for life.]
[Shui Yue'er: Truly Sisters for Life.]
