After listening to Zhuqing's account, Xiao Qiu was happy for her, but also felt quite strange.
Dai Weisi actually got involved with those Evil Soul Masters from the Sun Moon Continent?
Their cultivation was at least Spirit King?!
It seems the continent won't be peaceful for much longer.
As the Empire's sole heir, Dai Weisi, having gained such power, I wonder if he can suppress the ambition in his heart!
If he can't wait and usurps the throne, letting the Evil Soul Masters take power, the consequences are unimaginable!
I also don't know what Qian Daoliu is up to, he still hasn't made a move against them.
"Xiao Qiu~"
Zhuqing leaned into Xiao Qiu's embrace, her bright eyes staring at him infatuated, brimming with tears.
"Hmm, I'm here. I'll always be with you (all)."
Though Xiao Qiu smiled, his heart felt a little heavy.
He also thought of his confidantes.
He must protect them well; he already owed them a lot and couldn't let them suffer any more harm.
Zhuqing's beautiful face flushed, and she entwined herself with him, wanting to kiss him.
Xiao Qiu wrapped his arm around her smooth shoulders and lightly pecked her small lips.
Feeling Xiao Qiu's affection for her, Zhuqing's heart suddenly became warm and joyful, and all her grievances instantly vanished.
A faint blush appeared on her fair, pretty face.
Xiao Qiu reached out to caress her cheek.
"Tired from crying? Do you need something to eat?"
Zhuqing, with a hint of shyness, shook her head.
She took Xiao Qiu's hand from her cheek and put his fingers into her mouth, then gently bit them.
Xiao Qiu was stunned for a moment; feeling the wet, warm sensation on his hand, his azure eyes dimmed slightly.
"Zhuqing, I can't resist temptation."
Zhuqing blushed, released his large hand, and moved it elsewhere.
She tilted her head and burrowed into his embrace, shyly saying:
"It's okay, I can help you."
The matter of her engagement was finally settled.
She no longer needed to worry too much about her past and could give her true, complete self to the one she loved.
Xiao Qiu was stunned for a moment.
Usually, Zhuqing didn't try to seduce him much.
He smiled and shook his head: "Let's not, if you're tired, get some rest early."
"Mhm."
Zhuqing looked up, her breath like orchids.
She gave Xiao Qiu a light kiss on the lips, then lazily lay in his arms, closing her eyes.
...
The next day, a knock on the door woke Zhuqing.
Opening her eyes, Xiao Qiu was already awake, intently watching her.
"Time to get up, little sleepyhead."
Xiao Qiu gently pinched her firm nose; she seemed to be in a very good mood, even smiling in her sleep.
Noticing Xiao Qiu's sudden excitement, Zhuqing let out a soft moan.
Her somewhat drowsy eyes instantly brightened, her moist, hazy beautiful eyes like a clear spring, transparent and charming.
She moved her slender, smooth legs that were resting on Xiao Qiu.
She said softly: "Good morning."
Her slightly shy, beautiful face slowly enlarged before Xiao Qiu's eyes, and his lips immediately felt moist.
It was a light good morning kiss.
"Third Miss, First Miss called for you and the son-in-law to eat."
Outside the door, the voice of a Zhu family dead soldier came.
"Understood!"
Zhuqing responded coldly.
She sat up from the bed and tidied her disheveled clothes.
"Xiao Qiu, wait for me to wash up."
After speaking, she plunged into the bathroom.
After she had cleaned up, changed her clothes, she came out with a wet towel and began to attend to Xiao Qiu.
About a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Qiu and Zhuqing arrived at Zhu Yun's room.
"Oh~ It seems Xiao Qiu, your ability is quite good, my dear sister's complexion has improved quite a bit."
As soon as they entered the door, Zhu Yun couldn't help but tease them.
Her ambiguous gaze made Zhuqing feel uncomfortable all over.
It directly shattered Zhuqing's intention to ease the strained relationship with her.
Zhuqing's face turned red, but her eyes feigned coldness.
Xiao Qiu's face was also a bit awkward, and he chuckled dryly:
"Sister, please don't speak nonsense."
"Nonsense? I don't think so." Zhu Yun pursed her lips and smiled, full of playful mischief.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"
Zhuqing's cold voice made the ambiguity in Zhu Yun's eyes dissipate.
She pulled Xiao Qiu and sat down opposite Zhu Yun.
"You're really hurting this sister's feelings; I even bothered to order some things you love to eat."
Zhu Yun propped up half her face, sounding a bit self-pitying.
But with her hand, she picked up the sour, tender, and slippery fish skin and placed it into Xiao Qiu's bowl.
This made Zhuqing's face, which had just started to relax, turn cold again.
"Uh, Sister, I can pick it myself."
Noticing Zhuqing's expression, Xiao Qiu swapped his bowl with hers.
"Pfft haha, alright."
Zhu Yun let out a charming laugh, her delicate body trembling. Xiao Qiu lowered his eyes, not daring to look much.
Zhuqing gritted her teeth, hugged Xiao Qiu's arm, and pressed it into her ample bosom.
Silently, she and Xiao Qiu fed each other, eating breakfast.
Midway through the meal, Xiao Qiu looked up at the person opposite him.
"By the way, I wonder what kind of Spirit Beast Sister wants to hunt?"
Zhu Yun was stunned for a moment, and immediately hid the loneliness and envy in her eyes.
Xiao Qiu's voice also made Zhuqing look up.
Zhu Yun pondered for a moment; she had also experienced her sister's Second Soul Skill.
Thinking of this, she looked at Zhuqing and said:
"I wonder what Zhuqing's Fourth Soul Skill is?"
"Is it convenient to tell your sister?"
Xiao Qiu didn't speak, turning to look at Zhuqing.
"My Fourth Soul Skill comes from a Ten Thousand Year Ghost Tiger."
"The Spirit Ability is Netherworld Shadow Clone, which can split into six physical clones based on fifty percent of the main body's attributes."
"Additionally, I obtained a left arm bone, which increased the clones' power by ten percent."
Zhuqing truthfully explained her Fourth Soul Skill.
"Physical clones?! Sixty percent?!"
Zhu Yun looked at her in shock, not expecting her sister's Fourth Soul Skill to be so powerful.
Originally, according to her plan, her Fourth Soul Skill was set to be Hell Decapitation.
After all, she currently lacked a single-target long-range attack Spirit Ability.
But Zhuqing's Spirit Ability had moved her.
After a moment of contemplation, she said:
"Since that's the case, then this sister will choose the same Spirit Ability as you."
"No problem, then we'll depart after breakfast."
Xiao Qiu nodded.
Zhuqing snorted coldly; this was a Spirit Beast that Xiao Qiu had chosen for her.
"Pfft."
Zhu Yun let out a snicker and, in front of her, threw a few flirtatious glances at Xiao Qiu.
"Dear sister, your Xiao Qiu is so excellent, how about sharing a bit with your sister?"
Bang!
"Zhu Yun! Don't go too far."
Zhuqing angrily slammed the table and stood up, glaring at her.
Seeing her angry expression, Zhu Yun laughed even harder.
Xiao Qiu's mouth twitched slightly.
Her words seemed to open a door for Xiao Qiu; his Dantian warmed, and he quickly shook off those dirty thoughts in his mind.
Wishing everyone a pleasant life!
