Tang Nian felt the curious or admiring gazes around her, and her cheeks couldn't help but slightly blush.

As the focus of the competition, Tang Nian was used to other people's eyes, but she was really not used to it on the street.

But she still maintained her dignified and generous demeanor, following Qian Shiye's steps closely and moving forward step by step.

The further they walked, the taller and more magnificent the surrounding buildings became. Before they knew it, Qian Shiye and Tang Nian had arrived at the center of Tiandou City.

Qian Shiye held Tang Nian's hand without looking away and walked towards the residential area.

Finally, they stopped in front of a courtyard that was extremely luxurious.

This courtyard covers a very large area and is surrounded by high walls. Inside the walls are green trees and pavilions and towers are scattered around.

There are two majestic stone lions at the entrance. The vermilion door is closed tightly. A plaque hangs above it, with the words "Tang Mansion" written in a flamboyant style.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Tang Nian couldn't help but be stunned. She turned around suddenly, her face full of disbelief, and stared at Qian Shiye.

Seeing this, Qian Shiye couldn't help but chuckle softly.

He gently squeezed Tang Nian's palm and said softly, "Nian Nian, just as you thought in your heart, this mansion is a gift I specially gave you. From now on, this is your home."

After a brief pause, Qian Shiye continued, "I know you have deep feelings for Shrek Academy. Don't worry, this place is located in Tiandou City, not far from Shrek Academy. If you miss it and want to go back to visit, you can do so anytime."

After hearing Qian Shiye's words, Tang Nian still stared at him blankly, with a hint of hesitation and uneasiness in his eyes.

After a long time, she slowly said, "Qian Shiye, this gift is too precious. I...I really can't accept it."

Qian Shiye's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a gentle and doting smile, and softly said, "Xiao Tangnian, now that we are together, we are a family, so please don't say such polite words in the future, otherwise I will be sad."

He stroked Tang Nian's hair gently, his eyes full of affection and love.

Then, Qian Shiye continued, "And Nian Nian, all this money was earned by my own efforts, and has nothing to do with the Spirit Hall."

"Even if I completely leave the Spirit Hall one day in the future, I will definitely have enough financial resources to support you, Nian Nian."

Hearing these words, Tang Nian couldn't help but be moved to the point that his eyes turned slightly red and tears welled up in his eyes.

She raised her head and looked at Qian Shiye. His eyes were full of love, and he said with a slightly choked voice, "Shiye, I don't really want to see you working so hard. I'm rich too..."

Speaking of this, Tang Nian recalled the continental advanced soul master competition he had participated in.

At that time, she followed the example of Dean Flanders and participated in the gambling on the outcome of the event.

However, what is different is that no matter what kind of opponent he faces, Tang Nian always firmly places his bets on their Shrek Academy team.

Especially in the final match against the powerful Spirit Hall Academy team, almost no one was optimistic that Shrek Academy could win, but Tang Nian did not hesitate to bet all his soul coins on his own team.

Surprisingly, a miracle actually happened.

Seeing Tang Nian's happy expression, Qian Shiye couldn't help but chuckle twice, with endless doting in his eyes.

He gently reached out his hand, touched Tang Nian's head tenderly, and said with a smile, "Okay, Nian Nian, you must keep these soul coins well. Maybe one day I will be down and out and have nothing and I will have to rely on you to support me."

After hearing this, Tang Nian nodded slightly and responded crisply, "Okay!"

After saying that, Qian Shiye took Tang Nian's soft little hand and walked slowly into the Tang Mansion together.

When the two of them stepped into the door, Qian Shiye suddenly stopped, carefully stretched out his hands, and gently covered Tang Nian's eyes.

In an instant, everything in front of Tang Nian became dark and he could not see anything.

Although with her current strength she is fully capable of sensing all subtle changes and disturbances in the surrounding environment with her soul power, due to her deep trust in Qian Shiye in her heart, Tang Nian resolutely chooses to trust Qian Shiye.

Tang Nian stood there quietly, looking exceptionally well-behaved and obedient, waiting with joy and a little nervousness.

Just like that, Qian Shiye covered Tang Nian's eyes with one hand, and with the other hand guided her as she walked slowly forward step by step.

Along the way, in addition to being able to clearly hear the light or heavy footsteps of the two of them, Tang Nian could also feel the soft and warm breath from Qian Shiye's mouth brushing against his cheek from time to time.

This feeling made Tang Nian's heart ripple with sweetness.

Time passed by minute by minute, and no one knew how much time had passed. Just when Tang Nian felt that his heart was about to be completely swallowed up by this unknown expectation.

Suddenly, Qian Shiye's magnetic and endlessly gentle and doting voice rang softly in her ears again, "Nian Nian, you must be fully prepared mentally in advance!"

Qian Shiye's words, which seemed ordinary but contained a hidden meaning, were like a small stone thrown into a clear and calm lake.

In an instant, huge ripples, one after another, were stirred up in the depths of Tang Nian's heart, which had already been turbulent for a long time.

Tang Nian, who had always been full of expectations and strong curiosity, became more and more unstoppable in his heart's desire to know what kind of amazing surprises were hidden ahead after hearing Qian Shiye's words.

At this moment, Tang Nian took a deep breath, as if he wanted to inhale all the air around him into his chest.

She closed her eyes, stood quietly, and tried to calm her heart which was beating wildly due to nervousness.

Then, Tang Nian replied in a soft but very clear voice, "Okay, I'm ready."

As soon as she finished her words, she saw Qian Shiye's hand, which had been raised high, slowly begin to lower.

However, what Tang Nian never expected was that as Qian Shiye's hand gradually fell, the scene that appeared in front of her made her eyes widen in shock.

"Shi Ye! Do you know what the consequences would be if this were discovered by the people from the Spirit Hall?" Tang Nian said with a frown.
