"You really have no talent for martial arts," you're practically a good-for-nothing.
A blush crept onto Jiang Yang's fair face, making him look incredibly youthful. "...I...I'm sorry."
Dou Shiliu smacked his lips and waved his hand, "Forget it, let's continue tomorrow. You did make some progress today."
Jiang Yang breathed a slight sigh of relief when he heard that she seemed to want to relax. Fortunately, his legs were trembling so badly that he could barely stand.
After Dou Shiliu left, Jiang Yang sat down on the spot, ignoring the dust on the ground.
...
The next day, Dou Shiliu continued to teach Jiang Yang boxing as usual, to train himself and pass the long and boring time.
After several laps, Jiang Yang was drenched in sweat.
Dou Shiliu burst out laughing: "Didn't your dad make you exercise?"
Jiang Yang wiped his sweat and shook his head: "No, I prefer doing quiet things, so he had me learn to paint."
"You should have some self-control when it comes to drawing, but I didn't expect you to be such a weakling," Dou Shiliu said mercilessly.
"Hehe..." Jiang Yang gave a wry smile.
In this prison, he really needs something to defend himself. If he doesn't want others to bully him, then he has to study hard!
Jiang Yang gritted his teeth, punching away the sweat and endless bitterness that poured from his body.
Dou Shiliu's strength, combined with the ancient martial arts in her mind, made her even more formidable, and no one dared to underestimate her in the slightest.
She plays cards when she has nothing to do, and occasionally organizes gatherings for the big shots from different districts to connect and build relationships. Things are going well with Jiang Yang, so she doesn't need to keep an eye on him all the time. Her favorite thing to do every day is to watch the moon from that tree.
It took all night to see him, yet he was still full of energy the next day, which made Jiang Yang truly envious.
And so it went, day after day, with Dou Shiliu having fun causing trouble for no reason. A year passed, and it wasn't too boring, since new people kept coming in one after another.
Those who didn't know the rules were perfect for practicing with her. The only thing that made Jiang Yang feel uneasy was that some of her friends from prison, with whom she had spent so much time, were gone forever.
Aside from Dou Shiliu, almost everyone around Jiang Yang changed over the next few days, and he gradually became numb to it. Apart from Dou Shiliu, he didn't confide in anyone else.
He likes to greet any new prisoner with a smile. Of course, there are also quite a few troublemakers who, unable to find Dou Shiliu, come to Jiang Yang instead, only to be beaten so badly that their own mothers wouldn't recognize them.
After all, his ancient martial arts skills had become quite proficient under Dou Shiliu's supervision, and he practiced them every day.
Occasionally, Jiang Yang could exchange a move or two with Dou Shiliu, which gave him a slight sense of pride, after all, he was the only one who had withstood several moves from the boss.
Today, Dou Shiliu is still on that tree. That ordinary tree has grown into a towering tree after Dou Shiliu watered it with his spiritual spring. No one but Dou Shiliu can jump up to it.
Jiang Yang himself is not good enough; it may take him another ten years or so to develop the strength to jump 100 meters.
Wu Yan had come to see this tree. He was initially worried that the prisoners would climb it to escape, but he found that apart from Dou Shiliu staying on it, almost no one was willing to come near it.
This tree was her territory, so Wu Yan didn't bother with it and let it grow more and more.
Seagulls soared freely in the azure sky above the sea. Dou Shiliu stood on a tree branch, gazing into the distance. She wore a prison uniform, which billowed in the wind. The coldness in her eyes was as deep as the icy depths of the sea.
In the course of a year, Shi Xuan did not send her a single letter, as if he had forgotten about Dou Shiliu.
Dou Shiliu's eyes trembled slightly as he lowered them, and his hand holding the tree branch tightened involuntarily, causing a clump of bark to be peeled off.
Dou Shiliu coldly withdrew his hand and then sat down.
"System, where is Shi Xuan?"
The main system shows he is in Kyoto.
Has he forgotten me?
The white ball scratched its fluffy head in confusion: "I don't know why the cannon fodder didn't send a letter to the host."
Dou Shiliu's fine, wispy hair fluttered as a voice suddenly arose in her mind.
"You suffered so much for him, and now almost none of his fragments care about you. Stop loving him."
It's an inner demon. She was born from Dou Shiliu's love for Yan Zhiyun, but when she no longer loves him, this inner demon will devour her.
No one can escape the devouring power of their inner demons.
Dou Shiliu's eyes flickered slightly, but he ignored her and his voice gradually faded...
The existence of the inner demon is to prove that she loves Yan Zhiyun. If the inner demon disappears upon returning to her original body and then devours her body as it grows stronger, then Dou Shiliu's emotional pursuit will have failed.
"Host?"
Bai Tuan's voice woke Dou Shiliu, who was slightly taken aback: "What's wrong?"
"I've been calling you for a while, but you haven't responded."
"Oh, really?"
Dou Shiliu's eyes flickered: "Why did you call me?"
"The cannon fodder leader is no longer in Kyoto."
Where did he go?
"foreign"
After Shi Xuan was released from prison, he had an endless stream of things to do. The reason he didn't write to Dou Shiliu was because he couldn't expose even the slightest weakness.
Dou Shiliu nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She glanced at the calm sea and then jumped down from the tree.
"Boss"
As soon as Dou Shiliu came down, she saw Jiang Yang waiting for her there. She glanced at him and asked, "What's up?"
Let's go grab a bite to eat together.
"good"
Dou Shiliu thought Jiang Yang just wanted an excuse to talk to her about something, but she didn't expect that he really just wanted to have a meal with her.
Upon entering the canteen, the new prisoners and some of the older prisoners spoke in unison.
"Hello, boss!"
Dou Shiliu nodded. These veteran prisoners had trained the new prisoners to be quite something. Looking at their serious expressions, he smiled inwardly.
Dou Shiliu sat down and started eating.
After they finished eating, Jiang Yang smiled and took Dou Shiliu to Shi Xuan's little house.
You're acting a little strange today.
Dou Shiliu turned to look at Jiang Yang. The boy had matured considerably, shedding his youthful naiveté and displaying a deep sense of maturity and composure.
Dou Shiliu then noticed that the boy had grown into a strong and upright man.
Jiang Yang smiled and said, "I'm not surprised at all. I just wanted to ask you, boss, where are you going after you get out of prison?"
After asking the question, a faint, almost imperceptible expectation flickered deep in the man's eyes.
Dou Shiliu thought for a moment and realized that she didn't want to go anywhere except with Shi Xuan.
I'm going to find my man.
Jiang Yang: "..."
He barely concealed the disappointment in his eyes, and when he looked up again, his eyes were full of smiles.
