Chapter 151 A Year's Wait Leaves a Mark on This Time and Space.
Jiang Nian boarded the boat with the three little girls beside him. The young boatman rowed, smiling as he asked if he was from the mainland.
The familiar scene piqued his interest in conversation.
However, the boatman didn't tell any more stories about the island, and it was unclear whether he had any.
Jiang Nian led Qingyu and the others ashore, tossed them a gold soul coin, and walked into the distance.
"Strange... what country is this gold from?"
The boatman scratched his head, put it in his mouth, bit it, and then happily put it in his pocket.
Back on the island, Jiang Nian stood on the somewhat bumpy street, gazing into the distance.
The three girls looked at him with curiosity, but dared not stray too far.
Qingyu blinked her emerald green vertical pupils and looked up to ask, "Brother Jiang Nian, have you been here before?"
"Hmm... sort of."
He chuckled, ruffled the little snake girl's hair, and walked towards the mountain.
Qingyu, wiping the sweat from her brow as she watched the man who was several steps ahead of them, gritted her teeth and hurried to catch up.
The mountain wasn't actually more than a thousand meters high, but for an ordinary person, it was quite tiring.
Let alone the three young girls who hadn't had a proper meal in just a few days.
Jiang Nian suggested they rest for a bit, but they were quite stubborn and insisted they didn't need to.
Reluctantly, they had to slow down.
When they reached the top, Jiang Nian frowned at the chaotic summit and decided to tidy it up.
So, Qingyu and the others sat obediently on a large rock, watching him build.
The villagers below, hearing the thumping sounds, all looked up at the mountain.
Until nightfall, Jiang Nian stopped, looking at the leveled hilltop, and couldn't help but feel a little satisfied.
Then they began building the house, and Qingyu and the others were quick to help.
At this moment, Jiang Nian couldn't help but marvel at the convenience of the Wood Release: Three-Bedroom, One-Living-Room Technique.
But for someone like him who knew how to play with earth, building a house was incredibly easy.
A few days later.
Looking at the drastically changed mountaintop, Jiang Nian had some free time.
He began studying the notebook, wondering how many more days it would take before he could accidentally enter this space-time.
"The six stars of the Southern Dipper are aligned?"
Looking up at the stars in the sky, Jiang Nian's lips moved slightly, and after calculating the approximate time, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, he thought he would be staying in this space-time for a long time.
About a year, and he could go back.
Putting away the notebook, Jiang Nian rubbed his head.
After reshaping his soul rings, his [Time Stop] and [Rewind] abilities received an epic upgrade.
Combined with the power of the Time Dragon King, he had arrived here.
Jiang Nian held time in awe.
In short, there were too many things inside that he couldn't even imagine.
"Once I get that thing, I can use the full power of [Rewind] and the Soul Bone to go back..."
Even though Jiang Nian followed the instructions in the diary, he still felt a little uneasy.
Gazing at the starry sky, he suddenly felt a sense of destiny, as if it had been arranged for him.
Perhaps, his transmigration was inevitable.
Stepping onto that island was also predestined.
Gradually, Jiang Nian began to drift into a daze, his mind blank.
Behind him, three little girls peeked out from the bushes, looking at each other with a hint of doubt in their eyes.
"Hey, what do you think Brother Jiang Nian is thinking about?"
"Maybe he's homesick..."
"Hmm, I think he might be thinking about his family?"
The three girls whispered among themselves, their voices low, but Jiang Nian still heard them.
Perhaps they had been woken up, he sighed helplessly.
"Xiao Qing, take those two back to sleep."
"Ah? Okay...okay."
The chattering voices beside him disappeared, and Jiang Nian could finally space out again, pondering some things.
Spring turned to autumn.
Life gradually calmed down.
The three little girls became familiar with him, and he tried to teach them cultivation.
Unfortunately, apart from Qing Yu, who had a slightly higher talent, Su Su and Ying Ying's innate soul power was only half a level.
The thought of Xiao Qing from the future timeline made him feel somewhat apprehensive, and he suddenly became curious about what she had done in the past 30,000 years.
Jiang Nian became stricter with her cultivation, usually preparing some spiritual herbs to temper her body.
Xiao Qing had the bloodline of both humans and the Green Serpent King.
Her cultivation method was also more reliant on soul beasts.
In order to leave a clue for his future self, he decided to nurture this little girl.
He took out the remaining pills, one of which could help her improve her bloodline.
After Dugu Yan swallowed it, her martial soul evolved.
Jiang Nian stood by her side in a daze, and even after Xiao Qing finished absorbing the pills, he still hadn't come back to his senses.
"Brother Jiang Nian, what are you doing?" The girl in the white robe had grown into a graceful young woman. She tilted her head and leaned close to him, her hands behind her back. Perhaps because of the close proximity, a blush crept onto her pretty face.
"Thinking about someone."
"Hmm? A man or a woman?" Qingyu tossed a strand of hair aside. Her delicate face was fair and smooth, and a hint of nervousness flashed in her emerald green vertical pupils; she seemed very concerned about his answer.
Jiang Nian chuckled softly but didn't speak. He stood up, patted the little girl's head, gave her some instructions, and then left.
Little Qingyu pouted, clearly unhappy, and reluctantly obeyed his instructions with her hands clasped in her pockets.
Three months after arriving, Jiang Nian had cleared out the pirates around the island. Whether they were Soul Saints or Soul Douluos, none could escape his slaughter.
In the fifth month, within a radius of three hundred miles centered on the island, ninety percent of the Fallen Ones had perished.
In the seventh month, life became more stable in the cities closer to the island.
In the ninth month, Jiang Nian stopped worrying about other matters and began preparing to find what he was looking for.
Another early summer arrived.
That day, Jiang Nian was fishing in the sea with nothing to do.
Xiao Qing stood behind him, not daring to make a sound, afraid that if he didn't catch anything, she would complain that she was disturbing the fishing spot.
Yes, that's right.
This boy hadn't caught anything for half a month.
His anger was palpable; he even seemed to want to drain the entire seawater.
But today, something seemed different.
Jiang Nian's fishing rod finally moved for the first time in ages.
With a gentle flick, a beautiful thousand-year-old tuna was caught.
After quickly decomposing its body, it stood up and stretched.
"Xiao Qing, my technique is pretty good, right?"
"Yes, yes! Brother Jiang Nian is really good at fishing!"
Qing Yu praised him against her conscience, earning him a gentle pat in return.
"We'll have a big feast today."
"Okay!"
Jiang Nian rowed towards the shore.
Before long, the two returned to the mountain.
The diligent Xiao Qing took the ingredients to prepare a meal, while Jiang Nian returned to his usual spot to look at the stars.
"Tonight, it's coming..."
After confirming the time, Jiang Nian took a deep breath and went into the kitchen, deciding to show off his culinary skills tonight.
In a way, it was a final supper before parting.
