Chapter 308: The Last Time Before Breaking Up

"Xiao Wu, we are both Humanoid Spirit Beasts. It is already extremely dangerous for me to stay in the Spirit Hall alone, and with you added, I truly have no confidence at all..." Qin Jian said to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu nodded silently: "I also know it's impossible, but I just couldn't help but want to ask again."

"Go back to the Star Dou Great Forest during these five years. Cultivate until Level 70 before coming out; by then, no one will be able to recognize your identity anymore," Qin Jian said in a low voice.

"Mm..."

Xiao Wu responded, then looked up and said: "It's a pity, Brother, that you couldn't obtain your Sixth Soul Ring ahead of time; otherwise, you wouldn't have been discovered."

"That's not it, Xiao Wu. Even if I had already obtained the Sixth Soul Ring, if you encountered a crisis of exposure, I would still take the initiative to release my aura..."

Qin Jian embraced her, their foreheads touching: "Protecting you from harm is something I, as your brother, should do in the first place."

"Don't want to be a couple anymore now? What happened to the agreement to have a relationship with the goal of breaking up?"

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes at him.

Qin Jian kissed her eyes: "Whether our relationship as a couple is public or not doesn't matter anymore. How could we still look like siblings at this point? Aren't we just a couple hiding behind the guise of siblings?"

"So, are we considered broken up?" Xiao Wu asked, blinking her large eyes.

Qin Jian nodded: "Mm, we have broken up."

However, nothing happened...

The Sixth Soul Ring did not appear...

"I knew it wouldn't be that easy!"

Qin Jian pinched his brow in a headache.

The problem was...

Previously, the sibling relationship and the couple relationship were indistinguishable, and it was only after having sex that the relationship between the two was confirmed as lovers rather than relatives, which allowed his soul power level to stabilize at Level 60.

But now that the lover relationship was already tacitly accepted, could it be that just saying "let's be siblings and not a couple" would work?

This kind of excuse might be worth a try after deceiving the rules to obtain a soul ring, but at the critical juncture of obtaining a soul ring, the rules' detection is extremely rigorous.

No matter what the relationship is on the surface, one must truly tear apart the lover relationship in their hearts to obtain the soul ring.

Therefore, although he and Xiao Wu were saying "let's be siblings," they still considered each other lovers in their hearts, so what kind of breakup was that?

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

Qin Jian took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Xiao Wu... that... how about we completely restore our sibling relationship?"

"Completely restore? What do you mean?"

The way Xiao Wu blinked her eyes made Qin Jian not know how to start.

Every time he faced this kind of breakup juncture, he hated the God Trial on him immensely; it was simply inexplicable!

It must be heart-wrenching; if it isn't painful, it won't let you level up. It's just that disgusting!

"Xiao Wu, why don't you stab me once first to vent your anger..."

What Qin Jian said left Xiao Wu a bit dazed, then she hugged his neck, a charming look appearing in her eyes.

She said in a sweet, sticky voice: "Brother... why don't you poke Xiao Wu with your rod first..."

Qin Jian: "......"

Once someone has lost their virginity, they are different; they don't avoid anything at all.

Plus, she was a Soul Beast to begin with, without as many etiquette constraints as humans, so seeking intimacy was almost an instinct.

"Ahem, Xiao Wu, I don't like having 'breakup sex'..." Qin Jian said dryly.

Xiao Wu was full of question marks: "What is 'breakup sex'?"

"It's all trivial matters..."

Qin Jian scratched his hair frantically and said: "Xiao Wu, I really have no choice. I must truly break up with you!"

"Brother, you..."

Xiao Wu finally realized somewhat what he was saying, and her face turned pale: "Do you mean that from now on we have to be like real siblings, instead of lovers hiding behind the label of siblings?"

Qin Jian simply closed his eyes: "Yes, we cannot kiss, we cannot have that kind of relationship. We are just siblings, with only familial affection."

"So Brother really wants a real breakup..."

"After that night, our relationship has to go back, back to a sibling relationship..."

Xiao Wu stared with disbelief, large teardrops falling down: "Brother! You... how could you be so fickle and heartless!"

This voice was truly a bit loud, and the crowd watching the show not far away stirred, their eyes lighting up one by one.

"It's coming, it's coming, the famous scene is coming!"

Watching the gossip all along the way, their values had been completely distorted.

"No... it's not being fickle and heartless..."

Qin Jian opened his eyes, covered in cold sweat.

"How is it not fickle and heartless?!"

Xiao Wu's tears fell as if they were free.

"You only had me once and you're already tired of me, and now you want to restore it to the previous sibling relationship. How is that not fickle and heartless?! What else could be called fickle and heartless?!"

"Clap, clap, clap..."

The onlookers' eyeballs fell to the ground.

"I'm not tired of you, I, I, I..."

Qin Jian was already incoherent.

"Forget it! Fickle and heartless it is then!"

Qin Jian lay down completely, giving up on treatment: "Whether you hate me or are sad, we must break up!"

"We are truly breaking up, right? From now on, we can't do that kind of thing anymore, right? And you will only treat me like a younger sister, right?"

Xiao Wu's bright, large eyes stared straight at Qin Jian, the teardrops stopped at this moment, but those clear eyes gradually became covered with a layer of gray.

Qin Jian bit his teeth hard, unable to say a single word.

"One last time."

Xiao Wu suddenly said this in a very indifferent tone.

"What?" Qin Jian asked.

Xiao Wu raised her head to look at him and said indifferently, "Since we can't do this anymore in the future, let's have one last time before we break up."

Qin Jian stared at her blankly.

"I just... want to remember... having been so intimate... with Brother..."

Xiao Wu turned around and walked straight into the hotel.

Qin Jian was stunned for a moment, but in the end, he followed her.

Everyone: "..."

"That's too much, ahhh—"

Ning Rongrong roared at the sky and was about to rush in, but her arm was grabbed by Ning Fengzhi: "Rongrong, what are you doing?"

"They can't do this, ahhh! Why does everyone get to be ahead of me!"

Ning Rongrong's frantic appearance left Ning Fengzhi between laughter and tears: "Forget it, Rongrong, you heard it too; Qin Jian is breaking up with that little girl, this is the last time."

"I don't believe his nonsense, hmph!"

Ning Rongrong crossed her arms and said, "He could let go of anyone, but it's impossible for him to let go of his precious little sister!"

"Little sister..."

Ning Fengzhi was suddenly lost in thought, then frowned and glanced at Jian Douluo: "Jian Shu, did you have any intuition at that time?"

"Are you saying that she might also be..."

Jian Douluo was taken aback, and his expression became somewhat peculiar.

He had originally intended to keep this matter hidden, but since Ning Fengzhi asked him directly, it was difficult for him to lie.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Come to think of it, the Soul Beast aura sensed at that time did indeed change for a split second; the original was relatively weak, but the next moment it became dozens of times stronger."

Ning Fengzhi's expression changed: "In that case, she really might be..."

Jian Douluo nodded with a serious expression.

Hearing what they were saying, Ning Rongrong's attention was immediately diverted: "Dad, Jian Yeye, do you mean that Xiao Wu is..."

Ning Fengzhi nodded and said with some worry: "Since Jian Shu noticed it, then did she... notice it?"

"Probably not..."

Jian Douluo said in a low voice: "We have our suspicions because we know the relationship between Jian'er and her, which led to certain associations, but the Pope does not know, so it won't be so easy for her to make that connection."

"I hope she hasn't discovered it..."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head and said helplessly: "So it turns out that Jian'er being discovered wasn't because he leaked it unintentionally, but because he consciously released the Soul Beast aura to help that little girl cover it up..."

He looked somewhat ashamed: "That little girl being exposed seems to be because I unnecessarily released the Seven Treasures True Body, which ended up shaking out the item she was using to conceal her aura..."

"Is it this?"

Ning Rongrong took out a petal of the Lovesick Heartbroken Red.

"That's right, it's this." Jian Douluo nodded and said.

Ning Fengzhi held his forehead with a headache: "In that case, it is I who owes Jian'er; he didn't need to be exposed in the first place."

"His days ahead won't be easy..."

The Sword Intent on Jian Douluo's body became increasingly mellow: "I must break through as soon as possible to better protect him."

"Jian Douluo, Ning Sect Master..."

At this moment, Grandmaster, accompanied by Flender and the others, walked over.

"It's just noon, why don't we all have a casual meal together?" Grandmaster said.

Ning Fengzhi nodded happily: "It just so happens that I also want to have a good chat with you little geniuses from Shrek and see who is willing to join our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

This was a dinner party forced into existence just to wait for Qin Jian to finish his business...
