Traveling Together

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past three days, Lu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing have stayed in the same place. Zhu Zhuqing's injuries were too severe to move, and it took her three whole days to be able to walk again.

Lu Yuan packed up the tent and put it into his Star Ring. Today was the fourth day.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, whose face was still somewhat pale, Lu Yuan asked, "How are you? Can you walk?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and said, "It's alright. If the distance isn't too long, we should be able to hold out for a while."

"That's good!" Lu Yuan said, "At worst, we can walk for a while and then rest for a while. As long as we don't travel for too long each day, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I made you waste so much time." Zhu Zhuqing's cold face showed a hint of apology.

"What are you saying? We're friends, aren't we?" Lu Yuan said.

"Hmm!" Upon hearing this, a rare smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's cold and beautiful face, like ice and snow thawing and spring breezes blowing across the earth, truly exquisite.

Lu Yuan had seen many beautiful women. Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, and Bibi Dong were all rare beauties, each one a stunning beauty. Therefore, Lu Yuan had a strong resistance to high-value beauties.

However, Zhu Zhuqing's smile just now gave Lu Yuan a stunning feeling. It's not something an ordinary person can resist when an ice queen smiles.

Looking at the rising sun on the horizon, Lu Yuan said, "Then let's set off!"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

Lu Yuan, holding the World-Shocking Spear, led the way, with Zhu Zhuqing following closely behind him.

The two did not move very fast, after all, Zhu Zhuqing's injuries had not healed, so their speed was naturally slow.

The dangers in the forest were not to be underestimated. They hadn't gone far when another Hundred-Year Soul Beast attacked, only to be killed by Lu Yuan with a single shot.

"Roar!" A tiger's roar resounded, Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed sharply. He gripped the World-Shocking Spear tightly, his expression solemn. "Zhu Qing, stay close to me, don't fall behind!"

"Mmm!" Zhu Zhuqing hummed softly, not angry that Lu Yuan called her Zhu Qing. In fact, over the past three days, under Lu Yuan's care, their relationship had become much closer.

In particular, when Lu Yuan changed Zhu Zhuqing's dressing, he saw Zhu Zhuqing's abdomen. Such intimate contact was truly unforgettable for the introverted and conservative Zhu Zhuqing.

In Zhu Zhuqing's heart, Lu Yuan held a special place; he was more than just a friend.

Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing didn't seem to mind Lu Yuan's closeness to her.

When she was being chased by the Blood-Winged Golden Mosquito and was in despair, Lu Yuan appeared before her like a god and saved her. For Zhu Zhuqing, who was only nine years old at the time, Lu Yuan was like a ray of light, which was firmly engraved in her heart.

No matter how precocious and stubborn Zhu Zhuqing was, she was still a girl, and only nine years old at that. In this dangerous forest, she met Lu Yuan, a boy with great strength and excellent temperament. Zhu Zhuqing had unconsciously developed a dependence on him.

She just hasn't realized it yet.

Zhu Zhuqing followed behind Lu Yuan, gazing at his broad back, and asked, "What kind of Soul Beast is that?"

"Judging from the sound, it should be a tiger-type Soul Beast. The sound carries a majestic aura, and its cultivation level should be over a thousand years!" Lu Yuan said after secretly estimating the power contained in the roar just now.

"A thousand-year-old tiger-type Soul Beast?" Zhu Zhuqing frowned deeply; Soul Beast of this level were not easy to deal with.

"Don't be afraid, leave it to me!" Lu Yuan said, seemingly sensing Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts.

"Okay, be careful!" Zhu Zhuqing replied softly.

"It's nothing, a minor issue!" Lu Yuan said casually, carrying the World-Shocking Spear.

"It's here!" Lu Yuan's gaze sharpened as he sensed the approaching power, and golden light flashed from his right hand.

As the weeds were parted, a purplish-black figure appeared in front of Lu Yuan, its body crackling with Sisi of blue-purple electricity.

"Thousand-Year Thunder Spirit Tiger!" A smile appeared on Lu Yuan's lips. "Zhu Qing, there's a way to heal your injuries!"

With his right foot slamming into the ground, creating a small crater where he landed, Lu Yuan burst forth.

In mid-air, Lu Yuan instantly completed the Martial Soul Possession. The Golden Dragon Spirit instantly possessed him, golden light cascaded down, and rhomboid golden scales crawled onto both sides of Lu Yuan's cheeks. His arms had also transformed into dragon claws, and two Soul Rings, one yellow and one purple, emitted dazzling light.

"Second Soul Ring that's a thousand years old!" Zhu Zhuqing was shocked when she saw the purple Soul Ring shining on Lu Yuan's body. A second soul ring that's a thousand years old? How is that possible?

Moreover, the oppressive force emanating from Lu Yuan's Martial Soul caused even the Hell Spirit Cat within Zhu Zhuqing's body to tremble. That was the suppression of a lower-level Martial Soul by a higher-level Martial Soul, a suppression far more powerful than the White Tiger Martial Soul of the Star Luo Empire.

Zhu Zhuqing's curiosity about Lu Yuan intensified immediately; how exactly did he manage to do that?

"Beast, prepare to die!" Lu Yuan's First Soul Ring suddenly lit up, revealing his first Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Fist!

"Roar!" The Thousand-Year Thunder Spirit Tiger roared, and a blue-purple ball of light shot out from its mouth.

Lu Yuan neither dodged nor evaded, but instead deflected the ball of light with his spear and thrust the spearhead straight at Thunder Spirit Tiger!

Thunder Spirit Tiger was not to be outdone. With its blood-red mouth wide open, its purplish-black body lunged at Lu Yuan.

Seeing the man and tiger preparing for a head-on clash, Zhu Zhuqing's heart skipped a beat. Lu Yuan was too reckless to go toe-to-toe with Soul Beast!

"Lu Yuan, be careful!" Seeing the man and tiger getting closer and closer, Zhu Zhuqing felt anxious, fearing that something might happen to Lu Yuan.

However, Lu Yuan and Thunder Spirit Tiger were too fast, and Zhu Zhuqing had already collided with them before she could finish speaking.

"Awooo!" A mournful tiger roar rang out. The Thunder Spirit Tiger's massive body was thrown away by Lu Yuan's attack, leaving a hideous wound on its body. In the head-on collision, Lu Yuan had gained an absolute advantage.

Who exactly is the Soul Beast?

Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat bewildered.

"Azure Dragon Probes the Sea!" Strike while the iron is hot. Lu Yuan's attacks are always as fierce as a storm. Thunder Spirit Tiger had just landed and hadn't even stood up when Lu Yuan's spear came flying.

"Die!" The World-Shocking Spear pierced through the throat of the Thunder Spirit Tiger, heading straight into Thunder Spirit Tiger brain. In that instant, without even a struggle, the Thousand-Year Thunder Spirit Tiger died at Lu Yuan's hands.

"Zhu Qing, what did you mean by being careful?" Lu Yuan turned around and asked.

A gentle breeze blows, her clothes flutter, exuding elegance.

Zhu Zhuqing was about to speak when she was interrupted by Lu Yuan's exclamation.

"Zhu Qing, watch out!"

"Be careful of what?" Before Zhu Zhuqing could react, a blood-red vine bound Zhu Zhuqing tightly and dragged her into the jungle on the left.
