To Zhu Zhuqing's surprise, after hearing her gratitude, Dugu Bo snorted coldly and glanced at her indifferently, saying:
"snort!"
"You don't need to thank me."
"I only intervened because Tianqing was protecting you."
"Otherwise, what does your life or death have to do with me?"
After saying this, Dugu Bo didn't wait for Zhu Zhuqing to say anything more. He withdrew his martial spirit and turned to walk straight into the tent.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment before she remembered Yu Tianqing.
When facing the scarred man and his group, Yu Tianqing stood in front of her without hesitation.
She turned to look at Yu Tianqing, a complex emotion flashing in her icy blue eyes.
"Thank you... thank you."
While saying this, Zhu Zhuqing was inwardly wondering:
"What a handsome kid!"
"Judging from his appearance, he must have come to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt souls, right?"
"To be able to invite a Title Douluo, he must be someone of great importance."
Upon hearing what Zhu Zhuqing said, Yu Tianqing glanced at her sideways and smiled calmly:
"You're welcome."
"Draw your sword to help those in need when you see injustice on the road!"
As he spoke, Yu Tianqing couldn't help but glance at Zhu Zhuqing a couple more times.
Bathed in moonlight, her skin appeared even whiter, and coupled with her extremely voluptuous and curvaceous figure, which was beyond her years, she was incredibly eye-catching.
"Cough cough!"
At this moment, Liu Erlong suddenly coughed twice and said:
"Tianqing, you can't take your eyes off this beauty, can you?"
Yu Tianqing shifted his gaze away from Zhu Zhuqing.
At the same time, a blush of shyness appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's face.
"Let's go back to camp!"
After a moment of silence, Ye Xian'er spoke.
Then, Yu Tianqing and the others returned to the camp.
Liu Erlong and Ye Xian'er went inside the tent to rest, leaving only Yu Tianqing and Zhu Zhuqing sitting in front of the campfire.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
After a long silence, Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips and spoke first:
"I…I come from the Star Luo Empire."
Yu Tianqing nodded, his expression remaining largely unchanged.
Those who were chasing Zhu Zhuqing just now called her by name.
"You are a young lady from the Zhu family, a noble family in the Star Luo Empire."
Am I right?
Upon hearing Yu Tianqing's words, Zhu Zhuqing was shocked and said in disbelief:
"How...how did you know?"
Yu Tianqing smiled slightly and explained:
"Who else but the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire could possess the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly realized what was going on and didn't question it further.
After all, the Zhu family's Netherworld Cat Martial Soul is quite famous, and it can perform a Martial Soul Fusion Technique—Netherworld White Tiger—with the White Tiger Martial Soul of the Dai family, the royal family of the Star Luo Empire!
It's not surprising that Yu Tianqing could determine her identity based on this.
"My name is Zhu Zhuqing. As you guessed, I am a member of the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire."
To Zhu Zhuqing's surprise, just as she had calmed down, Yu Tianqing said again:
"You came to the Douluo Empire to find your fiancé, right?"
"ah?"
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned, her expression full of surprise.
It was one thing for Yu Tianqing to guess her identity.
It was unbelievable that they had even guessed her purpose in coming to the Douluo Empire.
"you..."
Before Zhu Zhuqing could speak, Yu Tianqing smiled calmly and said:
"Many people know about the affair between your Zhu family and the Dai family of the Star Luo Empire's royal family."
"Because of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Netherworld White Tiger."
"The Zhu family and the Dai family are closely related and have intermarried for generations."
"As a young lady of the Zhu family, you should have been engaged to a member of the royal Dai family since childhood."
"And within our Douluo Empire, there happens to be a third prince of the Star Luo Empire."
After hearing what Yu Tianqing said, Zhu Zhuqing was completely stunned and couldn't help but ask in surprise:
"You...you're Dai Mubai?"
Yu Tianqing smiled without saying a word.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing was even more shocked.
I think it's highly likely that Yu Tianqing knows Dai Mubai.
Otherwise, how could one connect these events and deduce that she came to find her fiancé?
Just as Zhu Zhuqing was lost in thought, Yu Tianqing shook his head helplessly and sighed, saying:
"Is it worth traveling thousands of miles for a coward?"
"coward?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly looked up, staring at Yu Tianqing with a look of astonishment.
Unexpectedly, Dai Mubai was portrayed as a coward by Yu Tianqing.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's surprised expression, Yu Tianqing continued:
Am I wrong?
"If he were truly responsible, why would he have fled to the Heavenly Dou Empire?"
Why should you face the pursuit alone?
Upon hearing Yu Tianqing's words, Zhu Zhuqing immediately clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms.
"He...perhaps he has his own reasons!"
Zhu Zhuqing wanted to defend Dai Mubai.
"Difficulties?"
Yu Tianqing smiled and said:
"He indulged in debauchery in the Heavenly Dou Empire, surrounded by beautiful women."
"I especially love twin sisters."
"Could this be... the so-called predicament you're talking about?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her delicate body swayed slightly.
"No...impossible!"
How could he be such a person?
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing looked unwilling to believe it, Yu Tianqing continued:
"If you don't believe me, go and verify it yourself later!"
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned and lowered her head. Her long hair covered her expression, but her shoulders trembled slightly.
If what Yu Tianqing said is true.
She's really not worth it.
He traveled thousands of miles to the Heavenly Dou Empire, only to be hunted down, all for a cowardly womanizer who indulged in debauchery?
After a long while, Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath before slowly raising her head.
At this moment, she seemed somewhat lost, unsure of what to do next.
After a brief silence, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Yu Tianqing and asked:
"Where...where did you come from?"
"Blue Tyrant Academy".
Yu Tianqing replied.
"Can I stay with you for a while?"
Zhu Zhuqing asked aloud, but at this point, she was already somewhat reluctant to go find Dai Mubai.
Yu Tianqing nodded and said:
"sure."
"But before that, I need to complete the acquisition of my third spirit ring."
...
Time passes.
In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.
Over the past few days, Yu Tianqing and the others have been searching for traces of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
For this reason, the group even ventured deep into the Star Dou Great Forest.
Unfortunately, no clues were found at all.
Hoo hoo!
Just when everyone was at a loss, a deafening tiger roar suddenly came from the woods not far away.
The surrounding spirit beasts were all terrified and fled in all directions at the sound of this roar.
"This imposing presence, could it be the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?"
Ye Xian'er exclaimed in surprise.
Just then, from the forest ahead, a giant tiger, entirely black, slowly emerged. It had wings on its back, a tail like a scorpion's hook, and its scarlet tiger eyes stared intently at Yu Tianqing and the others.
It was none other than the 60,000-year-old soul beast, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!
"Boom!"
A terrifying pressure swept across, and the air waves surged to the heavens!
Upon seeing this, Yu Tianqing quickly released his own soul ring.
Two streaks, one purple and one black, slowly rose from beneath his feet.
"This? How is this possible?"
Upon seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body trembled violently, and she was completely dumbfounded, her face filled with disbelief.
