Zhu Qing's Worry

After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, the journey was exceptionally smooth, and no foolish Soul Beast came out to cause trouble.

Lu Yuan thought that the smooth journey was probably because Gu Yuena had arranged for Di Tian to secretly escort them.

However, Di Tian was probably hiding, and Lu Yuan did not find him.

Regardless of whether he was hiding or not, Lu Yuan didn't care. After stepping out of the Star Dou Great Forest, Lu Yuan headed directly towards Suotuo City.

He needed to rush back to Shrek to take his kitten away; staying Shrek any longer would be a waste of time and there was no point in staying.

With his departure, Shrek will completely fall apart.

It was quite a journey from the Star Dou Great Forest to the Shrek Academy, but Lu Yuan was incredibly fast. He traveled at full speed, and in deserted places, he directly released his Martial Soul and flew with his dragon wings. In just a day and a half, by the afternoon of the second day, Lu Yuan had returned to Suotuo City.

This is much faster than going there.

Lu Yuan ate a meal in Suotuo City to fill his stomach, and then went to find a place to take a bath. After all, he had been traveling a long way and was covered in sweat.

After cleaning himself up, Lu Yuan began his return to the Shrek Academy.

Night had fallen, but the roads were shrouded in a silvery veil. The bright moon hung in the sky, and Twinkling Stars. Tonight's night was exceptionally beautiful.

However, Lu Yuan had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. With a light touch of his toes, he floated into the Shrek Academy like the wind.

Ignoring everything else, Lu Yuan returned to his cabin.

Just as Lu Yuan entered the academy, on the roof of an inconspicuous wooden house at Shrek, an old man in black suddenly opened his eyes. "The master has returned!"

A hint of ease flickered in his eyes, his sharp gaze sweeping over everything within the Shrek Academy.

Lu Yuan moved quickly, and soon two small wooden houses appeared before him, one belonging to Lu Yuan Zhu Zhuqing and the other to him.

Zhu Zhuqing's wooden house was pitch black, but his small wooden house was brightly lit, clearly indicating that someone was inside.

Lu Yuan slowed his pace and walked forward slowly. Through the crack in the door, Lu Yuan could see Zhu Zhuqing's somewhat delicate body curled up on his bed, her two jade-like arms tightly hugging his bedding, as if she were holding something important.

Occasionally, she would take a light sniff, as if savoring the scent left behind by Lu Yuan.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's adorable wrinkled nose, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile.

"Squeak!" Lu Yuan pushed open the door, startling Zhu Zhuqing. She looked up and saw Lu Yuan smiling at her.

"Lu Yuan!" Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, and a huge joy appeared on her pretty face. She suddenly sprang up, carrying a wisp of fragrance, and crashed straight into Lu Yuan's arms.

"Lu Yuan, I was so worried about you!" Zhu Zhuqing hugged Lu Yuan's waist tightly, her body trembling uncontrollably, and large tears slid down her cheeks, wetting Lu Yuan's shoulder.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's trembling, frail body, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a pang of pity from the bottom of his heart.

His hands suddenly climbed onto Zhu Zhuqing's waist, pulling her tightly into his arms.

Gently patting Zhu Zhuqing's back, Lu Yuan said in a gentle tone, "Zhu Qing, it's alright, I'm back!"

With Lu Yuan's constant reassurance, Zhu Zhuqing finally calmed down.

"Lu Yuan!" Zhu Zhuqing crawled out of Lu Yuan's embrace, her bright eyes glistening with tears, her gaze towards Lu Yuan filled with deep affection.

"Kiss me!" Zhu Zhuqing whispered.

Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Lu Yuan was taken aback. He then suddenly lowered his head, captured Zhu Zhuqing's cherry lips with his mouth, hooked his right foot around the door, and gently closed the door completely.

The next day, early morning!

Soft sunlight streamed in, and Lu Yuan instinctively shielded his face.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing curled up in his arms, her sleeping face as peaceful as a cat's, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile slightly.

This girl is truly endearing; beneath her cool exterior lies a unique wildness—she truly deserves the title of little wildcat.

When quiet, it is incredibly docile, but its heart also burns with passion.

Zhu Zhuqing's initiative last night really surprised Lu Yuan!

Honestly, this was the first time Lu Yuan had ever seen Zhu Zhuqing like this.

If Lu Yuan hadn't stood firm in his resolve last night and rejected Zhu Zhuqing, things would probably have already escalated to the point of no return.

Zhu Zhuqing is still too young; Lu Yuan really can't bring himself to do it.

However, on the other hand, although this girl is young, she is really alluring. Lu Yuan had to use a lot of determination to control himself. It has to be said, she is really a little devil.

Lu Yuan touched Zhu Zhuqing's cheek and smiled. He would take her back to see Bibi Dong after he returned this time. She had been following him for so long, he had to give her a proper status!

It would also be a good opportunity for Bibi Dong and the others to get to know Zhu Zhuqing, and of course, Hu Liena as well. It would be a good chance for them to go back and visit her, as their senior sister must also be missing them.

As Lu Yuan was thinking, a pair of jade-like arms suddenly wrapped around his neck. Before Lu Yuan could react, his face suddenly felt a chill!

Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face was pressed against his cheek, her breath sweet as orchids, "You went to bed so late last night, why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

"How dare you say that?" Lu Yuan glared at Zhu Zhuqing. Would he toss and turn in bed unable to sleep?

"It's your own refusal, not my refusal!" Zhu Zhuqing rolled her big eyes, a rare playful expression appearing on her usually aloof face.

"Hmph, I'm doing this for your own good, and you still use such words to provoke me!" Lu Yuan rolled his eyes. It's only because Zhu Zhuqing is still young that he's like this. If it were someone like Hu Liena, he would have devoured her whole long ago.

"Pfft!" Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but chuckle as she looked at Lu Yuan's expression, then her tone softened, "I know you care about me and love me. Being able to follow you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me."

As Zhu Zhuqing spoke, she kissed Lu Yuan on the cheek.

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and held Zhu Zhuqing's delicate, lamb-like body tightly in his arms.

"Lu Yuan, please don't leave me alone again, okay? I was really worried about you this time. I was afraid something might happen to you. What would I do if something happened to you? I would have no choice but to go with you." Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were filled with affection, her tone gentle, yet filled with a deep and unforgettable love.

"Yes, I won't leave you alone again. Wherever I go, I will take you with me and I won't let you worry or be afraid anymore."

Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Lu Yuan felt a warmth in his heart, stroked Zhu Zhuqing's cheek, and said softly.
