Chapter 12 Being Followed by a Kitten

"How much more?"

Ye Yan disliked answering the same question twice, so he directly summoned the nameless black sword, revealing his eight spirit rings.

On the other hand, Zhu Zhuqing was completely dumbfounded.

Especially when you see that bright red.

Is this really a human?!

This must be some deity descending to earth to experience life!

"Add some more firewood, the fire is about to go out."

Ye Yan sheathed his black sword and gave a reminder, while casually tossing the sword away. After killing a rabbit with it, the sword flew back into Ye Yan's hand.

If other swordsmen saw this, they would be furious. This is the legendary realm of man and sword becoming one, and Ye Yan actually used it for this kind of thing!

Aside from Ye Yan, only Chen Xin, the Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, can reach this level on the entire continent.

What's even more shocking is that after Ye Yan finished processing the rabbit, he directly skewered it on a black sword and put it on a fire to roast!

Even Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up, "Senior, this is your martial spirit! Isn't it a bit much to use it as a barbecue skewer?"

Ye Yan continued grilling without a care in the world, and even took out cumin from his storage soul tool and sprinkled it on the rabbit meat.

"I use my wine gourd to hold wine, and what's the point of a weapon spirit? It's just that I use it in a slightly different way than others."

That seems to make some sense?

Zhu Zhuqing felt she was being led astray, so she quickly shook her head. She hadn't expected that someone she randomly met in the city would be such a powerful figure.

Zhu Zhuqing, who originally planned to go to Soto City, has now decided to give up. Her original intention in going to Soto City was only to resolve that matter.

In order to find her fiancé Dai Mubai, who had been missing for several years, Zhu Zhuqing had to search in several major cities of the Tiandou Empire because there was no news about him. Her next destination was Soto City.

However, now that he has met a senior, although he has not yet obtained his ninth spirit ring, he is almost there!

If she could stay by her senior's side, she could also improve her strength quickly!

Moreover, if I get along well with this senior, will he lend a helping hand if I get involved in the Star Dou royal family's conflicts in the future?

Having made up her mind, Zhu Zhuqing immediately decided not to go to Soto City. She had only heard rumors about Dai Mubai being there, and wasn't even sure. Besides, what would be the point of going to him herself? From what she'd heard in Barak City, that guy was living a very comfortable life, changing girlfriends several times a month.

However, as a member of the Star Dou Empire's royal family, Zhu Zhuqing never expected that guy to be devoted to only one woman. But since he abandoned her and ran away, and is now having relationships with so many women, why should she, Zhu Zhuqing, go and take the initiative to be with him now that she has a better choice?

Soon the rabbit meat was cooked, and a strong aroma wafted over. Ye Yan ate most of the rabbit meat with some wine, making Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing next to him, drool.

She immediately caught a rabbit nearby and roasted it over a fire, just like Ye Yan did, except she used a wooden stick.

At noon the next day, this was a fork in the road.

One way leads to the Star Dou Great Forest, while the other leads to the commercial metropolis of Soto City.

"Then farewell."

After casually saying a few words, Ye Yan headed straight towards the Star Dou Great Forest. However, even after walking for a long time, Ye Yan could still feel the little clingy cat behind him.

"Weren't you going to Soto? Why are you following me?"

"I've changed my mind. I also want to go to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Go to the Star Dou Great Forest my ass! You're only level 27!"

Zhu Zhuqing was shocked. He actually knew her exact level.

"Then I can also go to the Star Dou Great Forest to train," Zhu Zhuqing said without batting an eye.

She basically acted like she would follow Ye Yan wherever he went.

Moreover, she hadn't explicitly stated that she wanted to follow Ye Yan, so Ye Yan couldn't just kick her out directly, as that wouldn't be in line with his style.

"Senior, didn't you say that as long as we're destined to meet, even travelers on the same route can travel together? So, can we try it together?" A sweet smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's fair face, which was quite captivating.

However, none of this worked on Ye Yan. Ye Yan simply took a sip of wine and said calmly, "If you want to come, then come. But the Star Dou Great Forest is full of dangers, and I won't come to your rescue."

Zhu Zhuqing smiled and nodded when the other party agreed. As for the danger?

As long as I don't leave his five-meter distance, those soul beasts won't dare to approach and provoke such an existence unless they're stupid enough to encounter one that's over 50,000 years old. In that case, I can just hide!

Zhu Zhuqing was very diligent throughout the journey, and could be described as taking care of him. Although Ye Yan said he didn't need it for the first time, this feeling of him giving up was really intoxicating.

No wonder people like hiring maids so much. It's not only pleasing to the eye, but also comfortable to have a pretty girl running around serving you.

Who wouldn't like this?

After countless days, the two finally arrived at the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Unlike other soul beast forests, this place has no guards or walls. The Spirit Hall knows that these things cannot contain the soul beasts inside, and the soul masters who dare to go to the Star Dou Great Forest are all powerful soul masters, so there is no need for them.

Upon entering the Star Dou Great Forest, the surrounding atmosphere instantly changed, with intense soul power and omnipresent gazes.

This was Zhu Zhuqing's first time in such a dangerous place, and she couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

However, as Ye Yan walked further and further away, Zhu Zhuqing made up her mind to follow him!

Ye Yan sighed when he saw that she had followed him. Then he released his soul power, which instantly scared away the surrounding soul beasts.

He deliberately didn't release his aura just now, hoping to make Zhu Zhuqing feel fear and leave on her own. He's going to challenge the overlord of the forest one-on-one now, and the battle will be very dangerous!

However, he underestimated Zhu Zhuqing; she truly did have that fearless and audacious air.

The forest's outer perimeter was inhabited by thousand-year-old soul beasts, but Ye Yan simply released his aura, and they were all frightened away.

The outer perimeter was easily traversed, but the deeper one went, the more powerful the spirit beasts became.

Sometimes, some silly, ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts would attack Ye Yan, but he would kill them all with a single sword strike.

Zhu Zhuqing sometimes became the target of soul beasts, but she was quite agile. Knowing that she couldn't outrun the soul beasts, she ran towards Ye Yan. The two of them used Ye Yan as a stone pillar and ran around it.

Finally, Ye Yan felt a bit dizzy from being tangled up and killed the soul beast with a single sword strike.

"These little tricks are fine once, but if I use them too often, I'll get annoyed."

To avoid being tricked by the pillar again, Ye Yan also wanted to remind the other party.
