Douluo Continent: The Evil Tiger Subdues the Eight Desolations, and Marries Zhu Zhuqing

Lin Ye deliberately dragged out his words and shook his head with a regretful expression.

"Since my big cat is still angry and doesn't want to eat, then I have no choice but to..."

The moment Zhu Zhuqing saw the string of candied hawthorns, she was completely captivated.

The sweet and sour fruit aroma mixed with the cloying sweetness of the syrup kept wafting into her nostrils, tempting the cravings in her stomach.

She couldn't remember the last time she had eaten; she had been trying to escape the pursuit of the Gale Leopard.

She hadn't eaten or drunk anything for a day and a night, and was starving.

The smell made her stomach churn.

but!

dignity!

How could a proud "big cat" be bought off by a small string of candied hawthorns?

Absolutely not!

Zhu Zhuqing forcibly looked away from the candied hawthorn and snorted coldly again.

"Hmph, who cares! I'm not eating it!"

Her words were firm and full of disdain.

However, she had barely finished speaking.

"Gurgle~~"

A clear and loud cry came out from her belly, which was very inopportune.

The sound seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet cave.

Zhu Zhuqing's face turned red from the base of her neck all the way to the tips of her ears at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground right now!

What a shame!

"Pfft, hahaha~"

Lin Ye couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He looked at the ostrich cat in his arms, which seemed to want to bury its head in his chest, and laughed so hard his shoulders were shaking.

"Oh my, my big cat, wasn't someone just righteously declaring they wouldn't eat? Why is their stomach growling louder than anyone else's?"

"I...I didn't!"

Zhu Zhuqing was both ashamed and angry, and her voice even sounded like she was about to cry.

"Okay, okay, you didn't."

Lin Ye suppressed a laugh and deliberately brought the candied hawthorn to his mouth, opening his mouth as if he was about to take a bite.

"Really not going to eat it? This is the last skewer. If you're not going to eat it, then I won't be polite."

"This first one is so big and round, it looks delicious..."

Just as Lin Ye was about to put the hawthorn fruit covered in syrup into his mouth.

Zhu Zhuqing panicked!

She didn't care about dignity or face anymore. Almost instinctively, she leaned over and snatched the candied hawthorn from Lin Ye's hand!

Then, to Lin Ye's astonishment, she opened her small mouth and took a big bite.

The sweet and sour juice burst in her mouth, mixing with the sweet and crunchy outer coating, instantly soothing her hungry stomach.

Mmm, delicious!

too delicious!

Zhu Zhuqing squinted her eyes happily and chewed contentedly.

Looking at her adorable appearance, Lin Ye's smile became even more doting.

"Ouch, big kitty, you pricked yourself with the boomerang, didn't you? Didn't you just say you weren't going to eat? How come you're eating with more gusto than anyone else now?"

Hearing his teasing, Zhu Zhuqing blushed and mumbled a retort while eating:

"Hmph, what do you know!"

"As the ancients said, those who know how to appreciate food are heroes! I... I'm just learning from the spirit of the ancients! I can't be bothered to argue with a commoner like you!"

Lin Ye was so amused by her sophistry that he was speechless and could only shake his head indulgently.

This girl is getting cuter and cuter.

Zhu Zhuqing quickly devoured the entire string of candied hawthorns, even licking the bamboo skewers clean.

After eating and drinking her fill, she felt much better. Leaning against Lin Ye's chest, she let out a satisfied little burp.

Lin Ye looked at her and asked again:

"Alright, now can you tell me what your soul bone skill is?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked up at Lin Ye's expectant eyes, smiled slightly, and finally stopped keeping him in suspense.

"Since you came all this way to save me and even brought me candied hawthorns, I'll reluctantly tell you."

Zhu Zhuqing cleared her throat, and her face returned to its usual aloof and arrogant expression.

"My fourth soul skill, which is the skill attached to this head soul bone, is called 'Blood Mist Illusion'."

"A blood mist trail?"

Lin Ye silently repeated the name; it sounded extraordinary.

"What effect will it have?" he pressed.

Seeing his curious expression, Zhu Zhuqing was very happy and continued to explain:

"Once this skill is activated, it will instantly release a blood-red mist with a diameter of fifty meters centered on me."

"Within this dense fog, the enemy's visibility will be reduced to less than three meters, and most importantly, all their sensory abilities will be weakened by at least half!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this result, Lin Ye was immediately shocked!

Blinding and impaired perception within a 50-meter diameter area?

The effect is so incredible?

Although the range is not large, only fifty meters, it is still significant for an agility-based Soul Master.

This fifty meters is an absolute death zone!

Seeing Lin Ye's shocked expression, Zhu Zhuqing felt an overwhelming sense of pride.

She knew this skill would definitely surprise Lin Ye!

"In other words,"

Lin Ye quickly processed this information, his mind racing.

"Once you unleash this soul bone skill, enemies within this red mist whose spiritual power is insufficient to penetrate it will be completely unable to see you."

"But you can attack them from any unexpected angle!"

"That's right!"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded heavily.

"In this blood mist, I am the sole hunter. As long as the enemy's spiritual power cannot penetrate the red mist, they will become lambs to the slaughter!"

Lin Ye gasped, his eyes filled with shock.

This skill... it's practically a divine skill tailor-made for Zhu Zhuqing!

A picture had already formed in his mind.

On the battlefield, Zhu Zhuqing instantly activated "Blood Mist Illusion," and a red mist enveloped the entire area.

The enemy instantly became blind, attacking haphazardly in a panic, while Zhu Zhuqing moved freely through the red mist like a ghost.

She can use "Nether Thrust" to launch a swift assassination.

They can also unleash a fierce and relentless attack using the "Netherworld Hundred Claws".

Even more terrifying is that she also has the "Invincible Golden Body" skill, an absolute defensive life-saving technique!

Imagine an assassin who is invisible and intangible, who could appear behind you at any moment and deliver a fatal blow.

Even if you manage to hit her by chance, she can activate a three-second invincibility buff to withstand the damage.

"Holy crap... Big kitty, your skills are insane!"

Lin Ye couldn't help but swear.

"That's practically the perfect assassin's skill!"

"With the Blood Mist Illusion, coupled with your Invincible Golden Body, you are practically invincible in battles of the same level!"

"Even against a Soul King, as long as the opponent isn't a monster with a wide-range, indiscriminate attack Soul Skill, you have a fighting chance, and might even... kill them!"

The more Lin Ye analyzed it, the more terrifying he felt this skill became.

This is not just a simple auxiliary skill; it directly changes Zhu Zhuqing's entire combat system!

This transformed her from an assassin who relied solely on speed and claws into a top-tier killer with her own home turf, capable of controlling the battlefield!

Hearing Lin Ye's high praise, Zhu Zhuqing felt a sweet warmth in her heart, even sweeter than the candied hawthorn she had just eaten.

Gaining his approval was the happiest thing for her.

"Hmph, now you know how powerful they are, huh?"

She gave a nonchalant snort.
