Meeting Zhu Zhuqing Again

Sunset Forest.

After Su Mu left the small courtyard,

he had Golden Crocodile Douluo go on ahead.

Su Mu then used the disguise skill of the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone

to take on Golden Crocodile Douluo's appearance.

He decided to take a look at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Otherwise, he wouldn't feel at ease.

Although his trip to the Heaven Dou Empire probably wouldn't take long,

it was close to the time when the Shrek Seven Devils would enroll.

If someone found an opening, and something unexpected happened in the meantime,

the loss would outweigh the gain.

Disguised as Golden Crocodile Douluo, Su Mu used the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone's flight ability

to speed over the forest.

Suddenly, Su Mu sensed fluctuations of Soul Power not far ahead.

Was a Soul Master hunting for a Soul Ring?

After some thought, Su Mu decided to ignore it and fly straight past.

As he drew closer,

the Soul Power fluctuations grew stronger.

When he neared the area above the fluctuations,

Su Mu glanced down, a little curious.

Once Su Mu saw the two figures fighting below,

his eyes widened.

A girl dressed in a black skintight outfit, with the illusory image of a pair of cat ears

and a cat tail behind her shapely backside, appeared in Su Mu's sight. She was locked in combat with a Leopard-type Soul Beast.

Both figures moved swiftly.

The girl wanted to break away from the fight and leave.

However, she was falling behind.

The age of the Purple Leopard-type Soul Beast far exceeded the girl's Soul Power Level.

The girl couldn't break free of the Purple Leopard-type Soul Beast's pursuit.

Zhu Zhuqing??

Su Mu could hardly believe it and took another careful look.

A pair of cat-ear buns sat atop her head.

Her long hair fell to her waist, and she had a cold, stern face and fair skin.

And her trademark perfect figure.

It really is her. Why is she here???

While Su Mu was thinking,

the purple Leopard-type Soul Beast landed a solid blow on Zhu Zhuqing.

Unable to dodge in time, Zhu Zhuqing was knocked backward and sent flying. After she landed, she pressed one small, fair hand to her chest.

Her chest heaved violently, and her expression was extremely grim.

I can't escape. What should I do?

Is this really where it ends?

At the thought, Zhu Zhuqing's brows knitted tightly on her beautiful, icy face, and a trace of grievance flashed across it.

She sniffled.

Smoothing her brow, she muttered,

"He said frowning would make me ugly."

Just then, the purple Leopard-type Soul Beast attacked again.

Its sharp claws struck straight for her face.

Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her beautiful gaze was resolute.

Her First Soul Ring lit up beneath her feet. Instead of trying to flee again, she charged at the Purple Leopard-type Soul Beast.

In the air, Su Mu froze for a brief moment.

When he came to his senses, he saw this scene.

With no time to think, Su Mu rushed down.

Just as the Purple Leopard-type Soul Beast and Zhu Zhuqing were about to collide,

Su Mu, disguised as Golden Crocodile Douluo, slammed a fist into the purple Leopard-type Soul Beast's head.

At the same time, one of Zhu Zhuqing's hands swept past Su Mu's chest.

Su Mu's punch knocked the purple Leopard-type Soul Beast to the ground. After tumbling a few times, it lay there, barely breathing, and gradually stopped moving.

Only after Zhu Zhuqing stopped did she notice someone had appeared in front of her. She saw what the newcomer looked like.

A trace of joy flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. She remembered this man; he was his master.

"Senior, why are you here?"

Ignoring her injuries,

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Su Mu, who was disguised as Golden Crocodile Douluo, and asked with delight written all over her face.

Before Su Mu could answer,

Zhu Zhuqing's body tilted to one side, and she fainted.

Seeing this, Su Mu dispelled his disguise and flashed to Zhu Zhuqing's side.

Su Mu took Zhu Zhuqing's wrist and examined her with his Soul Power.

He found that there was nothing seriously wrong.

Her internal organs had probably been injured in the earlier fight.

On top of that, her Soul Power had been depleted.

That was why she had fainted.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, tall and already very mature in her development,

like a ripe peach waiting to be picked,

Su Mu felt somewhat helpless.

It looked like he wouldn't be leaving anytime soon.

He would have to wait until this little wildcat woke up before deciding what to do.

Su Mu gently picked Zhu Zhuqing up.

As soon as he did, he couldn't help marveling to himself.

So soft.

Her delicate body gave off a faint warmth, and a distinctive fragrance drifted into Su Mu's nose.

As he walked,

Su Mu deliberately or inadvertently caught sight of her ample headlights bouncing with each step.

He couldn't help swallowing.

He had lived two lives.

Apart from videos on his phone, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation in real life.

This was far better than any campus belle.

Although he had spent the past six years with Gu Yuena,

that girl's assets seemed to grow like dragon scales.

They grew extremely slowly.

Su Mu had always had an idea: first have her lie on her back, then on her stomach.

He wanted to compare the two and see if there was any difference.

Carrying Zhu Zhuqing, Su Mu walked to a river that ran through Sunset Forest.

Across the river, the green poisonous miasma was already faintly visible.

Su Mu planned to wait here for Zhu Zhuqing to wake up.

The sky gradually darkened.

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing still hadn't woken up,

Su Mu decided to gather some branches for a fire.

As long as he didn't go far, Su Mu was confident he could rush back at once if anything happened here.

After Su Mu left,

Zhu Zhuqing slowly opened her eyes and looked around.

She didn't find the person she wanted to see.

Even the man she believed to be Su Mu's master was gone.

Looking at the moon's reflection in the river before her, Zhu Zhuqing slowly drew up her legs.

She rested her delicate little face on her knees and clasped her hands tightly together.

Her gaze was vacant and disappointed.

I'm too weak. I've clearly tried so hard.

Why did I still faint?

If I hadn't fainted, would I have been able to see him?

The more Zhu Zhuqing thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.

Tears kept welling up in her eyes.

I can't cry. He said I don't look pretty when I cry.

Why hasn't he come to find me in six years?

Has he already forgotten me?

The more she thought about it, the less Zhu Zhuqing could hold back.

Just then, Zhu Zhuqing heard the rustle of footsteps on leaves.

She looked toward the sound.

In the moonlight, she saw that familiar face.

Although Su Mu had grown taller and his face had become more rugged and handsome,

she still recognized him at first glance.

Zhu Zhuqing pouted her red lips, and the tears that had been welling in her eyes

began to fall, drop by drop.

Su Mu hadn't expected Zhu Zhuqing to have woken up either.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, whose expression was still the same as when she was little,

Su Mu slowly walked to her side.

He raised a hand and stroked his head, where his hair was tied in a pair of cat-ear buns.

In his other hand, he held two rabbit-type Soul Beasts by their ears.

He waved them in front of Zhu Zhuqing.

"I saw you still hadn't woken up."

"I was a little hungry, so I went and caught two rabbits."

"Look."
