Zhu Zhuqing Wakes Up—You're Not Anything to Me!

"Master, does this feel good?"

By the campfire, Zhu Zhuyun knelt behind Qin Jiuxiao and massaged him.

Qin Jiuxiao could feel the soft, springy warmth pressed against his back. Zhu Zhuyun was certainly well-endowed.

And she certainly knew what she was doing.

"Not bad, not bad. You've already grasped the essence of being a maid. Keep it up from now on."

"Yes, Master."

[ Ding! You have come into contact with Zhu Zhuyun and obtained the trait "White Moonlight (Gold)": Naturally gives others a favorable first impression. Has a chance of triggering love at first sight in the opposite sex!]

It was even a gold trait. It would provide him with plenty of convenience when dealing with others in the future.

The moment he obtained the trait, the Golden Finger took effect.

As Zhu Zhuyun looked at Qin Jiuxiao's profile, she found him increasingly charming.

She had always been the one controlling men. She had never expected that one day, she herself would be controlled by a man.

Could this be love?!

Qin Jiuxiao leaned back against Zhu Zhuyun, sinking his head into something soft and cushy. It was far more comfortable than the pillows at home.

Zhu Zhuyun showed no resistance at all. Instead, she adjusted her position so he could lie even more comfortably.

"Mm..."

At last, Zhu Zhuqing, who was nearby, regained her strength and slowly woke up.

She shook her slightly dizzy head, only remembering that someone had knocked her unconscious with a single punch.

But in the next instant, her body tensed and her pupils contracted. She immediately sprang away from where she stood.

It was an instinct she had developed over the years.

Zhu Zhuqing fixed her gaze on Qin Jiuxiao, only to freeze.

This man seemed kind of handsome.

She shook her head and quickly remembered that this was the very man who had knocked her out with one punch.

But then she noticed something that left her utterly shocked.

Her proud older sister was actually behind that man, serving him and massaging him like some meek little woman.

What was going on?!

Sure, this man was somewhat good-looking, but he wasn't good-looking enough for Zhu Zhuyun to throw herself at him, was he?

"Oh? My dear little sister is finally awake."

"Master barely used any strength, yet you were out for so long. If he used a little more force in the future, wouldn't that be fatal?"

Zhu Zhuyun teased her with a playful expression, bringing two blushes to Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks.

As a noblewoman of the Star Luo Empire, she naturally wasn't an innocent girl who knew nothing.

But the shyness on her face vanished in an instant, replaced by an icy expression.

"Zhu Zhuyun, what kind of trick are you playing?"

Faced with Zhu Zhuqing's questioning, Zhu Zhuyun helplessly spread her hands, still wearing that seductive smile.

"What trick could I possibly be playing?"

"Little sister, why do you have so little trust in your sister? Your sister is so heartbroken, boohoohoo."

"Heh."

Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes lightly, not believing a single word she said.

But for Zhu Zhuyun to call him Master, this man had to be extraordinary.

Not even Dai Weisi had ever received such treatment.

She looked at Qin Jiuxiao, unable to stop herself from growing curious about him.

And becoming curious about a man was the beginning of her downfall.

"Enough. You sisters don't need to keep putting on an act for each other."

"You clearly care about each other, yet you insist on pretending to be enemies."

"There are no rules of the Star Luo Empire here. You can be yourselves."

Zhu Zhuqing froze and instinctively looked at Zhu Zhuyun.

Zhu Zhuyun was also stunned for a moment, but she soon returned to her seductive demeanor.

"Whatever Master says goes. Zhuyun will listen to Master."

Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips, gradually lowered her guard, and returned to the campfire. She muttered softly:

"Vixen."

Zhu Zhuyun did not care in the slightest. Instead, she pressed even closer to Qin Jiuxiao.

"You're mistaken, little sister. This is called living with a clear head."

"Born into the imperial family of the Star Luo Empire, what freedom do we have?"

"The weak have always depended on the strong."

"The Zhu Family's fate was already decided: marriage to a prince of the Dai Family."

"If not for this unexpected encounter with Master, I might have accepted my predetermined fate and married Dai Weisi."

"But I never liked him, nor did I ever have any unnecessary contact with him."

"After all, that was my most precious bargaining chip. Giving it away too easily would only make it seem cheap."

"Now, I've merely placed my bet on someone more worthy."

Zhu Zhuyun's gaze settled on Qin Jiuxiao.

His first Soul Ring was a thousand-year one, and he could kill a Soul Ancestor while still only at the level of a soul master.

There was no other monster like him in the world.

Title Douluo would never be his endpoint.

Zhu Zhuqing was rendered speechless as she looked at Qin Jiuxiao.

"What kind of love potion did you give her?"

Qin Jiuxiao patted Zhu Zhuyun's perky backside, stood up, and handed Zhu Zhuqing a skewer of grilled fish.

"Little kitty, what do you mean by a love potion? This is called personal charm."

"Also, I had someone treat all the wounds on your body. You still owe me."

"How about becoming my maid too, just like your sister?"

Zhu Zhuqing snorted softly.

"No. You saved me, and I'll repay you in some other way, but I will never sell myself."

Zhu Zhuyun promptly massaged Qin Jiuxiao's shoulders and leaned close to his ear, her breath fragrant and warm.

"My foolish little sister came to find her so-called fiancé, the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai."

"If Master wishes, I can make arrangements in secret and help you win over my foolish little sister."

It seemed Zhu Zhuyun had learned to place her focus on him. She truly was a clever and tactful woman.

However, he knew far more about this than Zhu Zhuyun did.

He had his own methods.

Besides, judging by the time, Dai Mubai should have arrived at the Rose Hotel by now.

As long as Zhu Zhuqing saw Dai Mubai's uselessness for herself, there would be no need to deliberately say anything. She would give up on him completely.

Then he could take this little kitty for himself.

Two kitty-maid sisters, big and small... just thinking about it made him happy.

"No need. I never force anyone. Everything is already under my control."

"I believe she'll come looking for me of her own accord soon enough."

That composed, calculating manner made Zhu Zhuyun believe even more firmly that she had made the right choice.

This man was simply that captivating.

After finishing the grilled fish, Zhu Zhuqing stood and bowed deeply to Qin Jiuxiao.

From Qin Jiuxiao's angle, he could see her exquisitely curved figure.

"Young Master Qin, thank you for saving me, but I still have my own principles."

"I won't forget what happened tonight. If we meet again someday, I will repay you many times over."

Qin Jiuxiao did not stop her from leaving. Instead, he tossed her a token engraved with the character Qin.

"You've been fleeing all this way, so I imagine you aren't carrying many Gold Soul Coins."

"I can't say much about other places, but my status is still somewhat useful in Suotuo City."

"Take this token. You can stay at any hotel you wish without paying a single coin."

"The most famous hotel in Suotuo City is the Rose Hotel. Though it's a couples' hotel, I have an exclusive top-tier suite there. You can stay in it."

"If you have nowhere else to go, you can come find me at the City Lord's Mansion Qin Family."

Zhu Zhuqing wanted to return the token, but when she met Qin Jiuxiao's eyes, she accepted it as if possessed.

On one hand, she truly did not have many Gold Soul Coins on her. On the other, she wanted to leave herself a way out.

Though she did not know why Qin Jiuxiao was so certain, she also wanted to find an answer for herself.

She had to admit, he was unlike any man she had ever met.

He was so confident and unfathomable that she could not help wanting to understand him, wanting to fall deeply into him.

"I understand. Please take good care of my sister. If she disobeys, feel free to spank her. No need to spare me any face."

Zhu Zhuqing curled her lips as she gave the instruction, ready to flee at any moment under Zhu Zhuyun's murderous glare.

Just as she was about to leave, Yan Shi suddenly appeared beside Qin Jiuxiao.

"Young Master, a small pack of Gale Wolves is heading in our direction. Quite a few are at the hundred-year and even thousand-year level."

"Does Young Master intend to take their Soul Rings?"

Yan Shi bowed as he asked.

A glint flashed through Qin Jiuxiao's eyes. Now that he had obtained a seven-colored trait from Zhu Zhuqing, it was time to acquire his second Soul Ring.

This pack of Gale Wolves would be perfect cover for his second Soul Ring.

"Uncle Yan, you don't need to come with me. I'll go meet them myself and obtain my second Soul Ring while I'm at it."
