"Zhuqing, I'll take you there now." Ye Qiu took Zhu Zhuqing's small hand and disappeared using Kamui.
Zhu Zhuqing's heart was a little complicated, about to see her older sister.
When she saw Ye Qiu beside her,
she felt much more at ease.
The hardships her older sister had given her in her youth hadn't defeated her, and now that she had someone to rely on, she had even less to worry about.
The place Zhu Zhuqing and her older sister had agreed upon was the same small border town where Shrek had collectively gone to hunt for Oscar's spirit ring last time.
The Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire bordered each other,
and the Star Dou Great Forest stretched across both countries.
Zhu Zhuyun had snuck over along the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
A moment later,
Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Qiu appeared at the entrance of the small town.
The two looked like a pair of golden boy and jade girl.
The man was handsome and noble, the woman was beautiful and exceptionally curvaceous.
They were simply a match made in heaven.
"Zhuqing, it's your turn to lead the way now." Ye Qiu smiled as he looked at the big cat clinging to his arm, her head bowed so low her toes were out of sight.
"Mm, follow me."
Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes at Ye Qiu and led him into the town.
On both sides of the aisles in the town, there were various goods displayed.
There were low-level Spirit Beasts, weapons, food made by food system Spirit Masters, and various mercenary groups recruiting patrons and members.
After walking with Zhu Zhuqing for a while,
just as they were about to reach the center of the town, a person wearing a black cloak suddenly appeared in front of Zhu Zhuqing.
"This humble one greets Third Miss!"
"Mm, take me to find my older sister."
Zhu Zhuqing wasn't surprised by this person; her face was extremely cold, and she nodded slightly, telling him to lead the way.
"Yes!"
The person respectfully responded.
Then walked ahead.
"This is a dead retainer my older sister recruited from the family side."
Zhu Zhuqing explained, then pulled Ye Qiu's hand and followed.
After turning several corners, Ye Qiu and Zhu Zhuqing finally arrived in front of a hotel.
"Third Miss, the First Miss is in Room Three upstairs."
The person gave the instruction, then quietly withdrew, disappearing into the crowd outside.
"Are you nervous even seeing your own sister?" Ye Qiu teasingly looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who had suddenly clutched him tighter, and gently patted the back of her hand.
"Don't worry, I'm here for everything!"
"Mm."
She smiled sweetly at Ye Qiu, then took a step and walked inside.
Arriving on the second floor,
Zhu Zhuqing knocked on the door.
The door only opened a crack.
A purple glow flashed in Ye Qiu's eyes; inside were two black-clad figures hidden in the corners.
Crack!
As soon as Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Qiu entered, two cold glints suddenly attacked them separately.
Attacking Ye Qiu was a sharp claw; six spirit rings—one white, two yellow, two purple, and one black—were rotating at the person's feet.
It was a Spirit Emperor!
Attacking Zhu Zhuqing was also a Spirit Emperor, with spirit rings of two yellow, three purple, and one black.
He was holding a dagger, slashing towards Zhu Zhuqing's neck.
Zhu Zhuqing was startled, but Ye Qiu held her back.
A bloody light flashed in his eyes, and with a glance,
the two Spirit Emperors' movements paused, and Ye Qiu seized the opportunity to unleash his power.
Thump! Thump!
Two muffled thuds sounded simultaneously, accompanied by two grunts.
The two black-clad figures stood on either side, staring intently at Ye Qiu, both with traces of blood at the corners of their mouths.
This was because Ye Qiu saw they had no killing intent.
Otherwise, it would have been a supercharged Rasengan pressed against their chests, leaving them unable to stand.
Zhu Zhuqing's face showed anger.
It was one thing to attack her, but they actually attacked Ye Qiu.
"Sister, is this how you welcome your little sister?"
Ye Qiu stood behind her, like a guard.
Zhu Zhuqing's voice was cold, stiff, and filled with anger.
This room was very large; besides the hall where Ye Qiu and Zhu Zhuqing were, there were also two quiet rooms for resting nearby.
Crack!
The door to the quiet room opened.
A teasing, indifferent voice spread out.
"My dear little sister, isn't older sister just checking your cultivation and testing your progress!"
"And also to see what kind of man you've found."
As her voice fell, a woman who looked sixty to seventy percent similar to Zhu Zhuqing appeared before Ye Qiu.
Her features were exquisite and delicate, her clear eyes sharp and spirited; unlike Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuyun didn't have the long hair typically associated with beautiful women, but instead sported a neat short haircut.
She had less gentleness and more solemnity.
Her high nose bridge and thin lips gave her face a very three-dimensional quality, clearly that of a cold beauty.
A few years older than Zhuqing, her figure was even more voluptuous than Zhu Zhuqing's.
The clothes wrapped around her delicate body were pushed up high, her neckline stretched open, revealing some lace trim.
Her lower body was identical to Zhu Zhuqing's, also wearing leather pants that perfectly showcased her long, well-proportioned legs.
She was tall and moved her waist as she walked, her gaze sweeping, with a hint of disdain, exuding the aura of a queen or an older sister.
As Ye Qiu looked at Zhu Zhuyun, she was also observing Ye Qiu.
At first glance, Ye Qiu's appearance made her involuntarily pause.
She couldn't help but scrutinize him closely.
Ye Qiu was on guard against the two Spirit Emperors, and his Sharingan had not yet been deactivated, allowing her to see it clearly.
Her already turbulent heart surged.
Her cheeks gradually flushed, and her eyes showed infatuation.
Ye Qiu was startled and immediately deactivated his Sharingan.
Zhu Zhuqing also froze for a moment, glanced at Ye Qiu beside her, and moved to shield him behind her.
Ye Qiu's face showed a hint of embarrassment.
"Pfft," Zhu Zhuyun, who had already recovered, though her face was still flushed and her heart still hot, didn't let it hinder her sharp tongue.
She sneered, "What? My dear little sister, are you afraid older sister will snatch your man?"
"You're welcome to try!"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at her coldly.
"Hehe... why be so serious?" Zhu Zhuyun smiled teasingly, then her face turned cold.
She commanded, "You two go down, don't let anyone in to disturb us~"
Her voice was extremely cold, but towards the end, it carried a hint of provocation, and she boldly threw a flirtatious glance at Ye Qiu.
"Yes!"
The two Spirit Emperors respectfully complied and left the room.
"Sister, it seems you really want to try?!"
"Meow!"
A cold cat's cry.
Zhu Zhuqing's face was cold, and spirit rings rose from her feet.
One yellow, two purple, one black—a spirit ring configuration that made people drop their jaws!
Zhu Zhuyun's originally playful expression also stiffened, and a hint of shock and solemnity appeared in her eyes.
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Qiu, she slowly spoke:
"I didn't expect my dear little sister to have already broken through to Spirit Ancestor, and this man of yours is also extraordinary; I am deeply comforted."
"I truly regret not killing you sooner!"
Zhu Zhuyun's face was stern, and the killing intent in her voice seemed genuine.
Sensing her killing intent, Zhu Zhuqing's body trembled; the shadow Zhu Zhuyun cast over her was truly something she couldn't let go of.
"Pfft, hahahaha, little sister, you're still so cute; older sister pulled you back from the gates of hell, how could I really kill you!"
