Camping

As Lu Yuan pondered, his gaze swept over Zhu Zhuqing, causing her to blush with embarrassment.

"My name is Lu Yuan!" Lu Yuan said softly, looking at Zhu Zhuqing.

"Lu Yuan?" Zhu Zhuqing whispered.

"What level are you at now?" Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but ask.

I don't blame Zhu Zhuqing for being presumptuous; she was simply too curious.

Zhu Zhuqing was considered a rare genius in the Star Luo Empire, and she was only level nineteen at the time. The boy in front of her seemed to be not much older than her, at most the same age as her fiancé, but he had easily killed a thousand-year-old Soul Beast. Such strength undoubtedly made Zhu Zhuqing very envious.

After all, she needs great strength to break free from her shackles, which is why she has been working hard to cultivate and even enter the ruins.

"Level 28!" Lu Yuan said calmly.

"Level 28?" Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat surprised, not because his Soul Power was high, but rather because it was rather low. Zhu Zhuqing would not forget that the young man in front of her did not even release his Martial Soul when he killed the mosquito. She thought he should be at least Soul Elder, but she did not expect him to be only a Level 28 Soul Grandmaster.

"What, isn't it a bit too low?" Lu Yuan asked, seeing Zhu Zhuqing's somewhat surprised expression.

"No, no, that's not what I meant," Zhu Zhuqing quickly waved her hand and explained.

"It's nothing!" Lu Yuan said calmly.

Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't seem angry at her words, Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief.

"How old are you this year?" After a moment of silence, Zhu Zhuqing asked again.

For some reason, when she looked at Lu Yuan, she always wanted to know more, and this impulse was something that even she, who was usually aloof, could not suppress.

"Are you checking my household registration?" Lu Yuan glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, a strange look flashing in his eyes. Was this girl trying to get to the bottom of things?

"No, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to..." Zhu Zhuqing wanted to explain, but didn't know how to say it.

"I apologize for being presumptuous. If it's inconvenient for you, you don't have to say it." Before Lu Yuan could react, Zhu Zhuqing added.

"It's not inconvenient at all. I'm not much older than you!" Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's apologetic look, Lu Yuan found it amusing and immediately said.

"What?" Zhu Zhuqing was truly shocked. If Lu Yuan's age wasn't much older than hers, then that meant Lu Yuan was only nine years old, or even ten at most. How could he have Soul Power of level twenty-eight at such a young age? This was impossible.

This seems to have gone beyond what a genius should be like.

"I'm nine years and eight months old now, not even ten years old yet. How about that? I'm not much older than you!" Lu Yuan said.

"This!" Zhu Zhuqing was shocked. She did not expect that Lu Yuan was really only nine years old, not even ten years old. He was only five months older than her, but she was only a level nineteen Soul Master, while Lu Yuan in front of her was already level twenty-eight, and his combat power was far superior to that of others of the same level. How great was the difference?

Zhu Zhuqing felt somewhat discouraged. She had originally been quite confident in her cultivation speed, but now, compared to Lu Yuan, the difference was like heaven and earth.

For a moment, Zhu Zhuqing felt a strong sense of admiration for Lu Yuan. He was not much older than her, yet he already possessed such strength, which was far superior to her useless fiancé.

Due to her upbringing, Zhu Zhuqing has an extraordinary obsession with strength. Naturally, when she encounters a true prodigy like Lu Yuan, Zhu Zhuqing naturally feels admiration for him.

She even thought, how wonderful it would be if her fiancé wasn't a good-for-nothing like Dai Mubai, but a prodigy like Lu Yuan!

After learning Lu Yuan's age, Zhu Zhuqing's already strong curiosity about Lu Yuan intensified.

How did he manage to do that?!

Zhu Zhuqing was filled with curiosity.

"You're only nine years old, how come you're so tall?" Zhu Zhuqing wondered. Lu Yuan 'Lu Yuan would think he was thirteen or fourteen.

A hint of a smile flashed across Lu Yuan's eyes as he gently glanced at Zhu Zhuqing's proud expression and said, "Just like you, you've aged a bit too fast!"

Seeing the direction Lu Yuan's gaze swept, Zhu Zhuqing's face instantly turned bright red. "You lecher!"

Then, embarrassed, she turned her head away.

Lu Yuan smiled faintly and stopped teasing.

He sat cross-legged, staring blankly into the distance.

Zhu Zhuqing secretly turned her head and glanced at Lu Yuan. She found that Lu Yuan was in a daze and breathed a sigh of relief. However, for some reason, she was not angry at all about Lu Yuan's teasing behavior just now. Instead, she felt a strange feeling.

This was completely different from her previous attitude towards those men.

However, Zhu Zhuqing did not seem to realize this.

After staring blankly for a while, Lu Yuan stood up.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lu Yuan's actions with some doubt in her eyes.

Lu Yuan found an open space, looked at the surrounding terrain, nodded, and with a flash of his Star Ring, a set of equipment appeared in his hand, and he began to get busy.

"What are you doing?" Zhu Zhuqing Lu Yuan asked, seeing Lu Yuan busy but not knowing what he was doing because his back was turned.

"Setting up a tent, didn't you see?" Lu Yuan said calmly without turning around.

"Oh!" Zhu Zhuqing replied indifferently. Looking at Lu Yuan who was busy, she wanted to help, but she was too weak to even stand up, so she could only watch Lu Yuan quietly.

I looked up at the sky; the sun had already begun to set in the west, and the sky was gradually darkening.

It turned out that Lu Yuan stopped grilling meat at noon. After treating Zhu Zhuqing's wounds and having a stewed meal, most of the time had already passed. Now it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

The sun was about to set, so Lu Yuan needed to hurry up and set up a tent, otherwise it would be troublesome to not be able to see in the dark.

Lu Yuan was very fast; in less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, Lu Yuan had set up a tent.

Lu Yuan had prepared this tent when they arrived. It was quite spacious and was originally intended for him and Hu Liena to use together. However, the two of them ended up separating, leaving him alone. He was too lazy to set it up.

However, Zhu Zhuqing was seriously injured and weak today, and sleeping outdoors would make her susceptible to the cold, so Lu Yuan specially set up this tent.

Zhu Zhuqing took in all of Lu Yuan's nimble movements. She could tell that the young man in front of her had a wealth of wilderness survival experience. She wondered how he had trained himself, and her curiosity about Lu Yuan only grew stronger.
