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

Zhu Zhuqing, standing to the side, snorted coldly:

"I, Zhu Zhuqing, don't want to be with you!"

"If I, Zhu Zhuqing, didn't owe you two lives, I wouldn't feel at ease until I've repaid this favor."

"I'm only following you now to find a chance to repay a favor, so don't overthink it."

"Once I've repaid the favor, I, Zhu Zhuqing, will leave immediately!"

"Hey, you big cat's got a pretty good sense of loyalty." Lin Ye shrugged.

"In that case, let's go together, big kitty."

"Don't call me Big Kitty!"

"Okay, big kitty."

"Lin Ye, you!"

Zhu Zhuqing looked helpless for a moment, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

"Let's go, let's go. The fighting was too loud, it must have alerted the surrounding spirit beasts."

"If we dawdle any longer, we'll attract a horde of soul beasts that are over a thousand years old, and that won't be fun anymore."

After finishing speaking, Lin Ye turned and walked towards the edge of the forest without looking back.

Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip and glared at his back for two seconds before finally taking a step and following him.

We traveled quickly, and the sky gradually brightened.

As the first rays of dawn pierced through the tree canopy and fell on their faces, the two finally stepped out of the boundary of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Before us lies a small town.

The town was built along the edge of the forest, and the streets were lined with simple inns, restaurants and grocery stores.

Among the passersby, many had swords and knives at their waists and carried an air of weariness from their journeys.

This is a supply station for Soul Masters before they enter or leave the Star Dou Great Forest, and it is a gathering place for various independent cultivators and small teams who hunt Souls all year round.

Lin Ye looked around and noticed a fairly clean restaurant on the street corner, and then caught a glimpse of a general store across the street.

"Big kitty, go to that restaurant and order something to eat."

Lin Ye pointed to the street corner.

"I'm going to buy something across the street, I'll look for you later."

Zhu Zhuqing frowned: "What should I buy?"

"Of course, I'd buy some weapons and equipment, just in case we need them later."

Lin Ye answered casually, his gaze sweeping over the daggers and leather armor hanging at the entrance of the general store across the street.

"Stop standing there like an idiot, hurry up and go eat."

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing didn't ask any more questions, but simply said:

Come back soon.

She was stunned for a moment after she finished speaking.

Why does this tone sound like a wife nagging her husband who's going out to buy groceries?

bah bah bah!

Zhu Zhuqing, what are you thinking about?

You've only known each other for less than a day!

A hint of unease flashed across Zhu Zhuqing's face. She then quickly turned and walked toward the restaurant on the street corner, her pace two degrees faster than usual.

Lin Ye watched her retreating figure, a slight smile playing on his lips. He said nothing, then turned and walked toward the general store across the street.

He didn't really care much about weapons.

What he really wanted to find was a storage-type soul tool.

Something similar to Tang San's "Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night".

We'll be going to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes in the future, which is a long way off. We can't carry everything in our pockets.

Moreover, if you find something good on the road, having nowhere to put it is also a problem.

…………

In the restaurant, Zhu Zhuqing chose a seat in the corner against the wall.

This is her habit.

With my back against the wall, I have a wide view and can clearly see everyone coming and going through the doorway.

Three days on the run instilled in this twelve-year-old girl a predatory alertness.

She ordered four dishes and a soup.

The dishes were served quickly.

Steaming hot food was laid out in front of me, and the aroma wafted straight into my nose.

Zhu Zhuqing's stomach suddenly clenched. She hadn't had a proper meal in almost three days, and the chicken leg she ate last night was far from enough to fill her stomach.

But she didn't touch her chopsticks.

Instead, he was waiting for Lin Ye.

One minute.

five minutes.

ten minutes.

The food was getting cold, and Lin Ye still hadn't arrived.

Zhu Zhuqing's brows furrowed more and more, her fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.

He wouldn't... have left, would he?

The moment the thought popped into her head, Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment.

When did she start worrying about someone she'd only known for less than a day?

But then I thought, what if Lin Ye really left...?

No, definitely not!

Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip, suppressing the thought.

Although that person has a terrible tongue, he's not that kind of person.

She couldn't explain where this certainty came from.

It was probably when he pulled her into his arms last night to block that beam of light.

It could also be when he was standing in front of her, cursing those three assassins.

at this time,

A sudden commotion erupted at the restaurant entrance.

"Hey, Brother Dai, slow down!"

A sickeningly sweet female voice drifted in from outside the door.

Zhu Zhuqing subconsciously frowned and looked up.

It wasn't Lin Ye who came in.

Instead, it was a blond boy.

He was about thirteen or fourteen years old, tall and strong, with angular features and a head of blond hair that stood out in the morning light.

Judging solely by his appearance, he is indeed handsome.

But his eyes were frivolous and unfocused, a cynical smile played on his lips, and he exuded an air of frivolousness.

His right arm was around a heavily made-up woman, who was dressed provocatively and clung to him like a piece of chewing gum.

Behind him followed a chubby boy in a red shirt.

His round face wore a... how to put it, a lewd smile that made you want to punch him.

The three men swaggered in.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at the blond-haired boy, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

That person was Dai Mubai.

He was also her nominal fiancé.

Although the two had only met two or three times, she would never mistake his distinctive blond hair and the aura of the White Tiger Martial Soul.

Zhu Zhuqing's fingers tightened unconsciously, her nails digging into her palms.

Three years.

Three whole years.

She was being relentlessly suppressed by Zhu Zhuyun and hunted down by assassins in the Star Luo Empire.

She risked her life to escape from her family and almost died in the Star Dou Great Forest.

What is Dai Mubai doing?

The answer is at hand.

He cuddles women and is obsessed with them all day long!

"Brother Dai~"

The woman spoke in a coquettish voice.

"You were so strong last night~ My legs still hurt~ How annoying~"

Dai Mubai laughed and pinched the woman's buttocks.

The chubby boy in red next to him, Ma Hongjun, had an expression of envy, jealousy, and resentment on his face:

"Boss Dai, can you please stop showing off in front of me? I'm a single guy and I can't take this kind of stimulation."

Zhu Zhuqing felt a wave of nausea wash over her as she listened to these words.

It's not sadness.

It's disgusting.

It's absolutely disgusting!

Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath, suppressed her surging emotions, lowered her head, and covered her face with her long hair.

She didn't want to have anything to do with this person.

however.

As Dai Mubai led the woman inside, his gaze inadvertently swept over Zhu Zhuqing in the corner.

He stopped in his tracks at just one glance.

That figure.

The black leather jacket, though stained, accentuated her stunning figure, making her look absolutely breathtaking.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded over her shoulders, revealing half of her exquisite and aloof profile.

He exuded a cold aura that kept strangers at bay.

Dai Mubai's eyes widened instantly.
