What Kind of Decorum Is This Tugging and Pulling?

"We'll try our best to let you fight one Soul Master, but you also need to protect yourself, understand?"

Zhou Qing sighed Youyou, grabbed Wang Sheng's shoulder, and her eyes sharpened.

"Clear!"

Wang Sheng was stunned when he was grabbed like that, but he quickly recovered and said excitedly, "I definitely won't cause you any trouble!"

"Now, it's time to call him captain." Zhou Qing let go of Wang Sheng's hand, hooked his arm around Wang Sheng's shoulder, and laughed heartily.

"Yes, Captain!"

Wang Sheng flattered him.

"Hey, what about me?" Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips. "Without me, you wouldn't be able to join such an amazing team like ours."

"Sister Xiao Wu, a team only has one captain..." Wang Sheng was reserved and dared not speak carelessly.

"It's alright. The captain is Teacher Romantia, and Tang San, Xiao Wu, and I are all Deputy Team," Zhou Qing said casually.

"One team, one captain, three Deputy Team, this is too much..." Wang Sheng didn't know how to describe the division of responsibilities in this team.

"Hehe, we're a temporary team, so let's keep things simple, just like this friendly match. Don't worry too much about it," Zhou Qing said. "If you'd like, you can be the Deputy Team too."

"Never mind then, I'll stay on the team."

Wang Sheng smiled sheepishly, not daring to compare himself to Zhou Qing and the others.

Zhou Qing didn't mind and got down to business. "Even with Wang Sheng, we're still short two people. Do you have any recommendations?"

"How's Teacher Mo Hen?" Tang San thought of their homeroom teacher. "The rules for this Friendly Tournament are very basic. They didn't say anything about teachers and students not being allowed to be on the same team, did they?"

"Xiao Chenyu is also acceptable."

Xiao Wu thought of her former personal punching bag at the Nuoding Academy, "According to your classification of Soul Master, he is a warrior or an assassin, but he is still Beast Martial Soul, with thick skin and flesh, so he can barely act as Tank. Moreover, he is not one of our own, so we don't have to feel sorry for him if he gets injured. We can let him take the damage."

Tang San: "..." Although Xiao Chenyu was indeed a bit arrogant in the past, he wasn't completely evil. Now that he no longer bullies other work-study students, there's no need to keep an eye on him alone, right?

Wang Sheng had a similar idea.

"Let's forget about Xiao Chenyu, his position overlaps with Wang Sheng's."

Zhou Qing shook his head. Although that guy was a little stronger than Wang Sheng, he didn't know how much of his character he had learned from his father. It was one thing for Xiao Wu to use him as a punching bag, but if he were to truly integrate into the team and cooperate with them, they would inevitably be at odds.

Can I join?

A familiar child's voice came from behind me.

Mother Zhu led Qingzhu Zhu through the crowd to Zhou Qing and the others. The one who spoke was Qingzhu Zhu, who was only 1.3 meters tall.

Are you sure?

Zhou Qing was facing her, his thumb raised and flicked behind his shoulder, pointing to the spot on the other side of the plaza where the members of the Star Luo Royal Academy Team were standing. "Among those people, at least three know you, right?"

Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun were easy to recognize. One had Heterochromatic Eyes and blonde hair, while the other was slender and had a large bust, and was standing right next to the blonde Heterochromatic Eyes person.

In addition, there was a boy who was 1.5 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure, and also had blond hair and Heterochromatic Eyes.

This must be Dai Mubai.

At this point, Zhou Qing had no intention of playing around with Qingzhu Zhu anymore.

"It's alright, I came out secretly, but it would be strange if my family didn't know." Qingzhu Zhu was worried that she wouldn't be able to join Zhou Qing's team, so she hurriedly explained, "They must have already sent someone to notify the Star Luo Royal Academy Team first."

Zhou Qing hadn't noticed this before, but Qingzhu Zhu say it, he suddenly realized.

But!

Qingzhu Zhu is only six years old and not a Soul Master yet... Wang Sheng is not one either, but at least he has a lot of fighting experience.

This is quite different from Soul Hunting in the Nuoding Soul Hunting Forest, which is almost like a backyard for human Soul Master. Not to mention that when we went to catch the Light Firefly, we were in the least dangerous outer area.

If "Qingzhu Zhu" gets injured in the battle, and Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Mubai from the Star Luo Royal Academy Team take the initiative to attack, things could get very bad.

"You'll get hurt." Zhou Qing only hoped that Qingzhu Zhu could understand the underlying meaning of his words.

"How can someone who aspires to become Soul Master avoid getting injured?"

Although Qingzhu Zhu is young, she is strong, and also—

Regarding Zhou Qing's mention of "injury," she couldn't even begin to imagine the level of concern Zhou Qing had in mind. Instead, she felt it was a sign of care between friends, and her heart warmed with Warm Goat.

It seems you didn't understand what I meant.

Seeing Qingzhu Zhu's forced composure, Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Are you a lolicon?

However, what's worse is that the pervert next to him seems to have sensed the presence of a competitor and has started to unleash his power.

"Please, I'm only six years old, still a young boy, how can I be considered a lolicon?" Zhou Qing retorted.

"I've been reading a lot of books lately, and given the precocious nature of children on the Douluo Continent, I think physical age and mental age should be considered separately." Romantina suddenly became serious. "Like me, I'm already twelve years old, but my mental age is definitely over thirty; I'm a young woman."

"Hmm, that makes a lot of sense. A virgin unmarried woman in her thirties," Zhou Qing said seriously. "Also, I told you to read more books about Martial Soul and Soul Ring. What kind of books have you been reading? You even know the term 'young woman'?"

"Ah!"

Romantina shook Zhou Qing's shoulders and shouted, "How could you say that? In public! If I never get married, you'll be fully responsible!"

"Hello? Hello! Hello~ Hello..."

Zhou Qing let Romantina sway him, his gaze lingering on Romantina's flushed cheeks. He couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "You're the loudest one, aren't you? And you're clearly enjoying it, aren't you? Do you really want to expose your little quirks in front of others?"

at this time.

People around also noticed and saw a girl shaking and shouting at a boy, mostly expressing their amazement.

"It's so good to be young!"

"When I was studying at junior college, I also had someone I liked..."

"Did you have a fight?"

"Kids these days are so precocious!"

"When I have a son in the future, I will make sure he finds a girlfriend in advance."

Romantina, noticing the scrutinizing gazes of others and hearing their various comments, shuddered and her excitement reached a new level.

Qingzhu Zhu was completely dumbfounded.

"She's that Romantina. Zhou Qing mentioned her to you when he was giving examples and discussing names of people and places in the Douluo Continent." Xiao Wu whispered in Qingzhu Zhu's ear, "Don't tell anyone that this Romantina is actually a pervert, and the kind that's beyond redemption."

"I'll go ask Teacher Mo Hen first." Tang San didn't want to "share the burden" at this time, so he chose to "avoid the limelight" and made an excuse to leave.

"Wait, I'll go with you."

exactly.

Xiao Wu thought so too.

After regaining her senses, Qingzhu Zhu saw Zhou Qing's "painful" face and took the initiative to grab Zhou Qing's sleeve, trying to rescue him from Romantina's clutches. She glared fiercely at Romantina and said, "Friends shouldn't act like this. You have to be polite!"

"Ha?"

Romantina gave Qingzhu Zhu the middle finger: "= " = " "It's precisely because he and I are best friends that I can do this. This is the true meaning of being inseparable. You're a six-year-old kid whose mental age is the same as your physical age—what do you know!"

Qingzhu Zhu blushed with anger, not knowing how to refute, and just kept tugging at Zhou Qing's sleeve, trying to pull him away from Romantina's grasp.

Mother Zhu was initially angry because of Romantina's middle finger gesture, but seeing that her young master was having so much fun, she gave up the idea of disciplining Romantina.

only--

This pulling and tugging... what kind of behavior is this?

And what about Wang Sheng?

Standing there, frozen in place, feeling awkward and unsure whether to stay or leave, he could only silently turn his head and stare blankly at the noble elites of the Star Luo Royal Academy Team ...
