"Mubai, he..." Zhu Zhuqing's voice was bitter, and her eyes gradually dimmed. She didn't understand why Dai Mubai gave up on her so easily. Was his feeling for her really so shallow?
At this moment, Tang San suddenly moved.
Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body trembled violently.
"...."
As soon as the voice came out, Zhu Zhuqing immediately realized that she had lost her composure. Her cheeks flushed red instantly, and a trace of shame and anger flashed in her eyes. She raised her head abruptly and glared at Tang San: "You've gone too far, Third Brother!"
As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing raised her other hand, wanting to attack Tang San.
But as soon as she raised her wrist, Tang San grabbed it.
Tang San looked at Zhu Zhuqing's cold and beautiful face, a devilish smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Zhuqing, do you remember? If it weren't for the immortal herbs that Third Brother gave you, would you have become a Titled Douluo so quickly? Besides, helping me practice the Kun character technique is to defeat the Spirit Empire and save the people of the world. Do you want to see the people of the Tiandou and Xingluo empires all slaughtered by the Spirit Hall?"
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned, a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes, and her inner defenses were gradually broken down by Tang San's words.
Of course, she remembered that if it weren't for the immortal herbs Tang San had given her, she would never have been able to break through to the Titled Douluo realm in such a short time. And now, the threat from the Spirit Empire was imminent. If Tang San could truly master the Kun character technique, perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.
But... is it really necessary to do this?
Zhu Zhuqing's heart was in extreme conflict. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and there was a hint of helplessness in her eyes. She didn't know how to choose. On one side was the past kindness and the safety of the people of the world, and on the other side was her feelings for Dai Mubai and her own dignity.
Just when she was hesitating, Tang San moved again.
Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body trembled violently again. "Third brother, you..."
There was a slight tremor in Zhu Zhuqing's voice, and her eyes were filled with complex emotions. She wanted to push Tang San away, but she had no strength.
"Alright, for the sake of the two empires, and to repay Third Brother's kindness, I, Zhu Zhuqing, will endure this... Even though this may seem a bit unfair to Mu Bai, I have no other choice..."
Zhu Zhuqing said silently in her heart, with a hint of determination in her eyes. Although her heart was full of helplessness, she knew she had no choice.
"I won't betray Mu Bai..." Zhu Zhuqing bit her lips lightly, her voice trembling slightly.
At this moment, Tang San suddenly spoke, his voice seemed to carry a kind of magic that made people unconsciously fall into it.
"Zhu Qing, do you think I, the third brother, am handsome..."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but open her eyes, her eyes moving across Tang San's handsome face close to her.
That face was like a meticulously crafted work of art, and every inch of its skin exuded a charming charm. She bit her lip, an inexplicable emotion welling up in her heart, and whispered, "Of course... handsome... Yeah."
Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was trying her best to suppress the throbbing in her heart.
Hearing this, Tang San smiled even more. He moved closer to Zhu Zhuqing, almost face to face with her, and asked softly, "How does it compare to Xiaobai?" There was a hint of playfulness and provocation in his tone, as if he was testing Zhu Zhuqing's bottom line.
"Xiaobai, Dai Mubai?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Tang San, who had become a god. Every part of his body exuded a light beyond that of ordinary people. She felt from the bottom of her heart that although Dai Mubai was handsome and elegant, he seemed to be a little inferior to Tang San at this moment.
However, she did not answer the question directly, but lowered her head in great shame.
Tang San smiled evilly, as if he had seen through Zhu Zhuqing's inner struggle. He reached out and gently lifted Zhu Zhuqing's chin, forcing her to look up at him. "Since Dai Mubai is not as handsome as me, Tang San, nor as powerful as me, Tang San,"
He spoke slowly, each word hitting Zhu Zhuqing's heart like a heavy hammer, "Then why don't you be my woman, Zhuqing?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Tang San's handsome face so close to her with a confused and passionate look. She felt her heartbeat was accelerating, as if it might jump out of her chest at any time.
She slowly raised her hand and gently stroked Tang San's face, ready to offer her red lips. At this moment, a voice came from the distant sky.
"Tang San, come out..."
The sound exploded in the sky like thunder, instantly breaking the atmosphere in the tent.
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly came to her senses like a person awakened from a dream. She quickly tidied up her messy clothes and hair, and a trace of embarrassment and shame appeared on her face.
"Is it Qian Renxue?"
Hearing this voice, Tang San's expression changed slightly in an instant, and his eyes looked outside the tent like lightning.
At this time, the sky outside the tent was already faintly bright, and the dawn light was slowly dispelling the haze of the night. A faint fish belly white appeared on the horizon, and the light shone through the gaps in the tent, casting a series of fine light and shadows.
Unexpectedly, he and Zhu Zhuqing were alone together, and before they knew it, more than an hour had passed.
At this moment, the sound in the sky continued to explode, like rolling thunder, shaking the air slightly.
"Tang San, if you don't show up, don't blame me for not keeping our promise and attacking the Heaven Dou Empire's army."
Qian Renxue's voice was icy cold, with an unquestionable determination. Every word she said was like a heavy hammer, hitting Tang San's heart hard.
Listening to Qian Renxue's voice and looking at Tang San's face that was gradually becoming serious, Zhu Zhuqing, who was still unsatisfied, suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart.
She bit her lips slightly, and a complicated look flashed in her beautiful eyes.
In the past hour, she had contact with Tang San, and those moments caused ripples in her heart.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be... Third Brother treats me this way? Is it not because he likes me, but because he really wants to practice the so-called Kun character technique?"
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart, and this feeling of loss surged into her heart like a tide.
She lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, hiding the emotions in her eyes. She took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in her heart, but the feeling of loss lingered.
The next second, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but grab Tang San's hand, with a hint of anxiety and worry in her beautiful eyes, and said: "Third brother, Qian Renxue is here. Have you practiced your skills?" Her voice trembled slightly, which showed her worry about Tang San's safety and uneasiness about the situation.
Tang San looked at Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face, which was still blushing. He leaned forward slightly and said, "Don't worry, Zhuqing. My Rasengan has reached perfection. It will be easy for me to deal with Qian Renxue. Thank you, Zhuqing. Next time we can continue to practice the other four moves of the Kun character technique. But now, I have to go save the continent first."
