My Name Is Zhu Zhuqing. Will I See You Again?

Boom!

The Seven-Ring Soul Sage staggered back, his face filled with terror as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The dust settled.

Golden Crocodile Douluo stood with his arms folded.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red.

Nine Soul Rings appeared around him, and the red Soul Ring in particular was bewitchingly dazzling.

At the sight, the people surrounding Su Mu

all wore expressions of terror.

"Not bad, kid. You sure kicked up a big fuss."

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Su Mu with a mischievous grin.

"You just stood there and watched me get beaten up?"

"If you'd come out earlier, none of this would have happened!"

Seeing Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression, Su Mu shot him a sidelong glance.

"You don't understand."

"Without your final cry for help, how could I have made such a domineering entrance?"

Hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo's words, Su Mu grumbled to himself.

Fine, fine, fine.

So that's how you want to play.

"Senior, we're from the Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire."

The Soul Saint suppressed the turbulence of the Soul Power within him and the shock in his heart as he spoke respectfully.

Before he could finish, there was a crack.

Golden Crocodile Douluo appeared where the man had been standing.

He held the man's head in his hand. The man's body went limp, all signs of life gone.

Everyone around them fell as silent as cicadas in winter.

No one dared make another move.

Su Mu was startled by the sight as well.

Good grief.

A Soul Saint hadn't even finished speaking, and he'd crushed him to death just like that?

"I don't care who you are."

Golden Crocodile Douluo carried the Soul Saint's corpse in his hand.

He walked over to the two Soul Grandmasters who had been the first to attack Su Mu and had been knocked unconscious.

He kicked both of them in the head.

"I am Golden Crocodile Douluo."

As he spoke, Golden Crocodile Douluo walked over to another person who was still alive,

lying on the ground after attacking Su Mu, and brought his foot down.

"If anyone wants revenge, feel free to come find me."

Golden Crocodile Douluo walked over to the two Soul Emperors, Third and Fifth.

He raised a hand and gripped Third's head. His fingers tightened, and Third's body went limp as well.

"Have you remembered that?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at the trembling Fifth and tossed him the two corpses in his hand as he asked.

"Y-yes, I remember. Y-your Holiness."

Fifth's voice trembled.

"Oh?"

"You remember?"

"Are you really planning to come find me for revenge?"

"No, no, no—"

With a crack, Fifth's body went limp before he could finish.

"Well? Did I handle that all right?"

"Are you satisfied?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo shook the blood from his hand and looked at Su Mu with a smile.

Su Mu looked around.

As his gaze swept over the crowd, several young men were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.

Everyone else prayed silently.

This was the King of Hell calling names; anyone whose name was called would die.

Finally, Su Mu's gaze settled on the little girl, who looked somewhat dazed.

Su Mu gave Golden Crocodile Douluo a look.

Seeing Su Mu's expression, Golden Crocodile Douluo curled his lip.

"You didn't lift a hand, so I won't kill you."

"Take that little girl on the ground back with you."

"Tell your family head that if I find out this child has been mistreated in any way,"

"I'll pay him a personal visit and have a chat."

Hearing this, everyone thought it was the sound of heavenly music.

They never wanted to hear it again for the rest of their lives.

Quite a few scrambled and crawled away from the scene.

The few who remained trembled as they carried away the unconscious girl whose face was covered in blood.

The last two walked over to the little girl.

They gently helped her up,

terrified that one careless movement might hurt her.

The little girl stood up and looked at Su Mu.

It was hard to say what her expression meant.

Half-reclining, Su Mu raised a hand and waved at the little girl. "Don't keep crying all the time from now on."

"And don't frown. It doesn't look nice."

The little girl's brows had just begun to furrow when she heard Su Mu's words.

They smoothed out again.

It was impossible to tell what she thought of, but her brows drew together once more on her cute little face.

"My name is Zhu Zhuqing. Will I see you again?"

The little girl seemed to muster all her courage to ask.

"Remember, from now on, you can grow a chest, but you can't grow fierce."

"Otherwise, even if we meet again, Brother Mu won't recognize you."

Su Mu waved his hand and teased her.

Hearing his words, little Zhu Zhuqing knitted her pretty brows and glared at him.

Then she turned and left with her family.

After walking some distance, little Zhu Zhuqing turned to look at Su Mu, who was lying spread-eagled on the grass.

She seemed intent on burning that figure into her mind.

She didn't know when she would see him again.

Zhu Zhuqing, don't cry. Tears will blur your vision.

You have to remember him.

You mustn't forget.

Golden Crocodile Douluo strolled over to Su Mu

and sat down.

"Kid, do you like that little girl?"

"You old pervert."

"How old is she?"

Su Mu rolled his eyes at Golden Crocodile Douluo and curled his lip.

"I reckon that little girl won't forget you for the rest of her life."

"You've got half the charm I had when I was young."

Golden Crocodile Douluo patted Su Mu on the head.

"Then why are you still an old bachelor?"

With that single remark, Su Mu brought the conversation to a dead stop.

After several screams from Su Mu,

the surroundings fell quiet.

Deep in the forest,

a slender figure with long silver hair and purple eyes

watched Su Mu curiously.

Strangely, around his body,

let alone ants, even the Blue Silver Grass on the ground leaned away to either side,

as though worshipping him.

Early the next morning,

Su Mu slowly opened his eyes.

He found that Golden Crocodile Douluo, beside him, was already awake.

Su Mu kept feeling that something was off,

but he couldn't remember exactly what it was.

"Still not fully awake?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo asked as he looked at the bewildered Su Mu.

"Hurry up. Don't waste time."

"Don't let someone else intercept that Soul Beast."

Golden Crocodile Douluo stood up and patted his backside.

Hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo's words,

something went off in Su Mu's mind.

He instantly understood what was wrong today.

Today, he hadn't been woken by the system notification.

Sure enough, choosing to stay in Nuoding City back then had been the right decision.

If the distance was too great,

there was no way to link to the target of an Interception.

This wouldn't do. Once he had hunted down a Soul Ring, he had to get back as soon as possible.

Nuoding City, Nuoding Academy.

Tang San sat on the roof of the office building.

A flash of purple light shot into his eyes.

A faintly discernible mark on his forehead flickered.

After regulating his breathing for a while,

Tang San opened his eyes, looking thoughtful.

"Little San, come down."

"I'll teach you to play the flute."

Yu Xiaogang stood below the building and called out to Tang San.

Tang San ignored Yu Xiaogang's shouts.

He looked at a scruffy man wearing a hood on a distant street, and a trace of longing flashed through his eyes.

Just then, the scruffy man seemed to sense Tang San's gaze as well.

He looked up at Tang San on the roof.

The scruffy man's expression froze.

He hurried off in one direction.

Tang San jumped down from the building and chased after him.

I originally planned a third update, but after finishing it, I lay down for a while, and by the time I woke up, it was already daylight. I could cry. [Please keep reading]!!
