Volume One

In a dense forest near the border of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Bala Kingdom, adjacent to the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.

A black-haired girl moves with caution, observing her surroundings vigilantly as if guarding against something.

The girl is about ten years old, with long black hair draped over her shoulders and fair skin. She possesses a curvaceous, fiery figure that is extremely incongruous with her age.

Her limbs are well-proportioned and slender, and the expression on her face is slightly cold. A pair of black eyes, devoid of even a trace of vitality, clash somewhat with her otherwise extremely beautiful face.

"I wonder where I should go. Zhu Zhuyun, that is none of your concern. If I didn't run away from home, I fear I would sooner or later die at your hands."

Zhu Zhuqing knows very well that if she continues to stay in the Star Luo Empire, even if she isn't killed by Zhu Zhuyun, she will be imprisoned for life. Therefore, she had no choice but to run this time.

Zhu Zhuqing is dragging her injured body, walking with a limp toward the outskirts of Suotuo City. She seems to have no other choice; after all, she is alone and weak. If she doesn't come to find Dai Mubai, only death awaits her.

Dai Mubai left Zhu Zhuqing behind and ran off to hide at Shrek in Suotuo City by himself. This truly hurt her heart. Thinking of how Dai Mubai abandoned everything and chose to flee back then, Zhu Zhuqing feels very indignant and looks down on him from the bottom of her heart.

This time, Zhu Zhuqing came to find Dai Mubai to see if this good-for-nothing Dai Mubai had really given up just like that. After all, she is truly unwilling to accept it; she is not someone who only knows how to choose to flee.

"Ah!"

A black-clad masked assassin falls from a tree trunk with a scream.

"Hmph, a spent force, yet you still want to struggle in your death throes. My dear little sister, just obediently come back with me."

A graceful black shadow slowly emerges from the darkness. Under the moonlight, she reveals a charming face that bears a three-part resemblance to the black-haired girl.

"Zhuqing, my good sister, you really made me search hard. You left so hurriedly this time—are you trying to go find that piece of trash who gave up on resistance and is hiding outside?" Zhu Zhuyun says coldly.

"What Zhu Zhuyun? I don't know her. Even if the City Lord of Suotuo City came today, you are still coming back with me, little girl."

The person who spoke is called Pang Biao. He is a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby build, dark skin, and messy short hair, looking a bit like a middle-aged woman.

The other person is called Ji Liu. He has a very wretched appearance, with unkempt hair hanging to his shoulders, a bulbous nose, and small eyes with puffy lids like a goldfish—one look and you can tell he is someone who has indulged too much in wine and women.

The two wretched men look at Zhu Zhuqing's proud figure, drooling profusely, their eyes shining. They think to themselves: What a beautiful little sister. Heavens, earth, is this a gift you have sent us?

"Big-breasted girl, you are so succulent. No matter what, you have to keep us brothers happy today. Uncle promises to make you feel explosive pleasure!"

"Hehehe, little sister, not only is your chest large, but your courage is also quite big. A young girl like you actually dares to go out alone. Haven't you heard that there's a flower-plucking thief near Suotuo City recently?"

"Big-breasted girl, you actually dare to insult us? We are noble Soul Elders. Watch as I fry you before killing you!!!"

Hearing the tone of these two, Zhu Zhuqing feels slightly relieved, then asks coldly, without a hint of panic.

"Flower-plucking thief? Aren't you people sent by Zhu Zhuyun?"

"Trash!"

Zhu Zhuqing glances at the two of them coldly and says with contempt.

"This little girl's figure is truly one of a kind, especially her chest, it's simply... She seems to be alone, too. It looks like we brothers are in luck today!"

The two wretched, strange uncles, discovering that Zhu Zhuqing has detected their tracks, no longer hide. They appear directly, surrounding Zhu Zhuqing from front and back.

The sudden sound of wind breaking in the surroundings makes the black-haired girl slightly startled. Two yellow soul rings rise from beneath her feet. While activating her martial soul, her figure leaps up violently, jumping left and right, narrowly avoiding the incoming arrows.

"Quick, keep up! Looking at this little lady's current state, she should be injured."

Facing the continuous stream of arrows, the black-haired girl jumps up and down, but in the end, she is still unable to dodge in time, and her body becomes covered in wounds.

"Ah!"

Another arrow shoots over from above the dense forest. The black-haired girl leans back, and the arrow just barely grazes the tip of her nose.

Immediately after, she grabs the arrow, spins in place several times, and finally throws it back in the direction from which it was shot.

"Hmm? It seems someone is following me!" Zhu Zhuqing walks on the road with a cold face. "Dai Mubai, you bastard, besides fleeing, what else can you do?"

"Ah!"

"Little sister, no... big sister, you are quite vigilant. You discovered us so quickly."

The black-haired girl continues to move forward cautiously. Unknowingly, she has already fallen into someone else's ambush.

The camera shifts. Four or five figures use the cover of night to quickly scramble up several towering trees, then conceal their presence and lie in ambush. Clearly, they are all Soul Elders.

"Swish... swish... swish."

Three battle soul masters with bow martial souls suddenly reveal their figures, pulling the long bows in their hands. The next second, over a dozen purple soul power arrows shoot toward the black-haired girl from all directions.

The next second, more purple soul power arrows shoot toward the black-haired girl in a sky-covering manner, almost sealing off all the space she could use to dodge.

Seeing this, the black-haired girl's cat-claw blades pop out. She forcibly catches one of the arrows, spins, and throws it, killing another black-clad masked assassin in return.

But at the next moment, the graceful black shadow's body suddenly lights up with three soul rings—yellow, yellow, and purple. She strikes with a claw, directly slapping the black-haired girl away, blood splattering everywhere.

"Zhuqing, my good sister, you really made me search hard..."

As she speaks, three soul rings on Zhu Zhuyun's body light up simultaneously.

"First Soul Skill, Hell Stab!"

"First Soul Skill, Hell Stab!"

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes change color simultaneously, her left eye ink-green and her right eye clear blue. She extends sharp, cat-claw-like blades from her ten fingers, her figure trailing a faint afterimage as she attacks Zhu Zhuyun.

The two perfect, delicate bodies collide in mid-air, sparking several cold, purple lights.

Before the black-haired girl can steady her figure, another arrow shoots from behind. At the same time, the graceful black shadow who had been hiding in the dark also suddenly bursts out, attacking the black-haired girl.

After discovering the two men following her, Zhu Zhuqing thinks of the pursuit by Zhu Zhuyun not long ago, and her face changes slightly.

A few days later, the scorching sun is like fire.

Then, three bright, shimmering soul rings hover up and down on their bodies.

Little kitten Zhu Zhuqing is insulted by a little girl, and Pang Biao and Ji Liu are furious.
