Douluo Continent: Qian Daoliu has had a crush on me for a long time

Chapter 50 Bloodstains

Suddenly the vortex disappeared, and then the bamboo leaves fell down, followed by countless emerald green afterimages flying down at lightning speed.

Beads of sweat had already appeared on Ye Jingqiu's neck.

If it was just a suspicion at first, Ye Jingqiu can now confirm that it is no longer a bamboo leaf, but has become something as sharp as a razor blade.

She moved quickly and began to dodge the bamboo leaves. Ye Jingqiu managed to dodge the first few leaves, but there were more and faster leaves afterward. Ye Jingqiu clearly remembered Qian Daoliu's words: she could not use soul power, let alone martial soul.

No matter how hard she tried, the bamboo leaves kept coming. She turned to the side to dodge, but unexpectedly, a bamboo leaf pierced her shoulder.

Almost instantly, drops of blood dripped down her shoulder and disappeared into the dust without a trace.

These bamboo leaves have no eyes and will not stop growing just because Ye Jingqiu is injured.

But as time passed and her strength waned, Ye Jingqiu's movements became slower. She bit her tongue, and her mouth was instantly filled with the taste of rust.

The pain also made Ye Jingqiu more alert, and she increased her speed again.

The bamboo leaves would cut her skin directly. At this moment, bamboo leaves were still stuck in her body, making her look no different from a hedgehog. However, unlike the other way around, her body was already covered in blood.

The heart and brain must be protected, as these are two very vulnerable areas.

But human limits are finite. Even if Ye Jingqiu bit her tongue until it bled, once she was truly exhausted, no matter how hard she bit, it wouldn't make a difference.

A wave of exhaustion washed over Ye Jingqiu. For some reason, a thought suddenly popped into her mind: it wouldn't be so bad if she just lay down and let Zhu Ye kill her.

Ye Jingqiu paused slightly, but because she slowed down, a bamboo leaf pierced straight into her calf. The intense pain cleared her mind considerably.

She had worked incredibly hard to become a Soul Master, and she couldn't just give up like this. There was also her Martial Soul, the Soul-Capturing Bell. She hadn't found the Soul-Capturing Sect yet, and she didn't even know what kind of person her father was. She couldn't just die here like this.

At this moment, she burst forth with powerful vitality.

But no matter how strong one is, life force will eventually run out, and Ye Jingqiu was completely exhausted.

She felt her world fall into complete silence. At that moment, she seemed to hear nothing. She collapsed stiffly into the pile of bamboo leaves. Fortunately, the bamboo leaves returned to their normal shape after falling to the ground, otherwise Ye Jingqiu would be dead by now.

Ye Jingqiu struggled to get up, but she closed her eyes due to exhaustion.

With a wave of his hand, the bamboo leaves falling from the sky returned to their ordinary appearance and slowly fell down.

He knelt on one knee in front of Ye Jingqiu, paused, and then gently removed the bamboo leaf from Ye Jingqiu's face.

He bent down, put his hands around her knees, and then picked Ye Jingqiu up, while Ye Jingqiu's hands fell to her sides.

Qian Daoliu suddenly pulled Ye Jingqiu into his arms and picked her up; she was very light.

Ye Jingqiu's eyelashes trembled slightly from the bumpy ride. Her lips were pale, and her fingers unconsciously gripped his shirt tightly. She murmured softly, "Grandma, Grandma, I miss you..."

Qian Daoliu paused slightly, then lowered his head and looked at Ye Jingqiu with a complicated expression. He sighed. If Ye Jingqiu were awake, he would have noticed that Qian Daoliu's speed was not much slower than Ghost Douluo's at this moment.

Soon the two arrived at the offering hall.

Qian Daoliu quickly placed Ye Jingqiu on the bed.

Chunshui greeted her with a worried expression, and when she saw Ye Jingqiu's injured appearance, she covered her mouth in surprise.

"Go and call the doctor over."

"Yes." Chunshui didn't dare to delay and quickly ran out.

Qian Daoliu stood silently by the bed, looking at the person who had fallen into a coma. He didn't know why he had felt compassion; he shouldn't have.

He seems to be acting strangely lately. Qian Daoliu reached out and touched his chest, where his heart was beating abnormally.

Especially when I saw Ye Jingqiu lose his strength and fall to the ground just now, why was that?

Is it because of worry?

Qian Daoliu frowned; for the first time in over a hundred years, he felt lost and confused about himself.

Chunshui was quick and returned with the doctor in no time.

When he saw the doctor begin to examine Ye Jingqiu's wounds, Qian Daoliu breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to leave. But as he reached the door, he paused and instructed, "Take good care of her, and use the best medicine."

After leaving those words, Qian Daoliu quickly departed.

After returning to his room, Qian Daoliu stood by the bed in a daze for a long time, not knowing what was wrong with him.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Guangling's voice came through, "High Priest, are you there?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Qian Daoliu then came to his senses. He coughed lightly, and then his deep voice rang out, "Come in."

When Guangling entered, Qian Daoliu had his back to him, so he couldn't see his expression. Guangling said in a somewhat dejected tone, "Grand Elder, the young master has safely returned to the Heavenly Dou Empire, but..." Guangling hesitated.

Just then, Qian Daoliu turned around and looked at him, his brows furrowing slightly. "What's wrong with Xue'er?"

Guangling was stunned. What was that on Qian Daoliu's body?

If I'm not mistaken, that's blood. But why would the High Priest have blood on his body?

"Grand Elder, are you injured?" Guangling couldn't think of any other possibility besides this one. After all, Qian Daoliu was a clean freak and his love for cleanliness was a bit excessive.

Even when he lays a hand on someone who has made a mistake, he never gets a drop of blood on his hands, but today…

"Great Elder, who injured you?" Guang Ling asked with a serious expression. Qian Daoliu was a peerless Douluo, one of the strongest in the entire Douluo Continent.

How could anyone possibly hurt him?

Qian Daoliu was silent for a moment, then said in a slightly hoarse voice, "It's Ye Jingqiu who's injured."

"The Holy Maiden?" Guang Ling was slightly taken aback, but if it was Ye Jingqiu, even if Qian Daoliu had a cleanliness obsession, it wouldn't be strange if he had her blood on him.

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, his expression indifferent, and asked, "What's wrong with Xue'er?"

Guangling finally came to his senses. He secretly glanced at Qian Daoliu's expression and slowly said, "Young Master didn't seem very happy on her way back to the Heaven Dou Empire."

Qian Daoliu was silent for a moment. Thinking of Qian Renxue and Qian Xunji, he felt a headache coming on. If only he hadn't agreed back then...

That's it.

Qian Daoliu slowly spoke, "Tell them to keep a close eye on the young master. She can no longer return to the Hall of Worship without my permission."

Guangling wanted to say something to persuade him, but remembering that Qian Daoliu always kept his word, she said, "Yes, Grand Elder."
