Zhu Zhuqing's arrogant little look made Lin Ye's heart itch.
"Okay, okay, our Big Cat is the most powerful, okay."
Lin Ye's tone was full of doting.
The stronger this girl gets, the more her arrogant little temper grows.
However, he quite liked seeing her like this, it was much cuter than the cold and distant look she had before.
"Huh, that's pretty much it!"
Zhu Zhuqing felt sweet in his heart when he heard Lin Ye's compliment, but he still maintained his aloofness on the surface.
Lin Ye looked at her cute look, and the smile on his face became even stronger. He took advantage of the situation and put Zhu Zhuqing back into his arms.
Let her lean against his chest safely, and then ask:
"Okay Big Cat, what are your plans next? Are you going to come back to Spirit City with me, or..."
Upon hearing this question, the little pride on Zhu Zhuqing's face instantly subsided, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Reply to Spirit City?
She subconsciously wanted to nod.
Being able to stay with Lin Ye all the time is what she desires most right now.
But...
She looked down at her hands, and then thought about Lin Ye's terrifying and abnormal strength.
At level 44, the third Soul Ring is Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. The level-skipping challenge is just like playing.
And what about yourself?
Although he had just absorbed the 40,000-year-old Soul Bone and Soul Power and soared to level thirty-nine, and also obtained Soul Bone Skill like Blood Mist Vanishing Trail, his strength had undergone earth-shaking changes.
But compared with him, the gap is still too big.
This time at Death Grand Canyon, if Lin Ye hadn't arrived in time, I might have been a cold corpse now.
She didn't want to experience that feeling of powerlessness again.
She wants to become stronger!
Become strong enough!
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes became firm again.
She raised her head to meet Lin Ye's gaze, and said word for word very clearly:
"Lin Ye, I... want to practice here for another month!"
"What?" Lin Ye frowned when he heard this.
"Stay for another month? It's too dangerous here."
He has not forgotten how Zhu Zhuqing was hunted down by Gale Demon Leopard who was 40,000 years old.
If he hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"I know the danger." Zhu Zhuqing's tone was extremely persistent,
"But just because of the danger, this is the best place to practice!"
"I am now level thirty-nine, only one step away from level forty.
I have a hunch that as long as I experience life and death for another month here, I will definitely be able to break through to level 40!"
"Lin Ye, I want to get the fourth Soul Ring before going back!"
Looking at her eyes filled with stubbornness and longing, the words of dissuasion in Lin Ye's throat were blocked abruptly.
He knows this Big Cat very well.
The pride in her bones does not allow her to be content with the status quo, let alone accept the protection of others with peace of mind.
This life-and-death crisis not only did not make her shrink back, but instead aroused her stronger competitive spirit.
Lin Ye sighed softly in his heart.
That's all.
Since she wants to, just go crazy with her once.
Anyway, as long as she is here, she will not fall into the same desperate situation again.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye's frown relaxed. He stretched out his hand to rub Zhu Zhuqing's head and said in a gentle tone:
"Okay, since you want to stay, then I, Lin Ye, will accompany you for the next month!"
"If you want to fight, then I will fight with you!"
"If you want to hunt Soul Beast, then I will hunt with you!"
"If you want to break through level 40, I will accompany you until you succeed!"
The warm breath brushed against Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks, making her feel a little hot.
"You..."
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned when he heard this.
She originally thought that Lin Ye would strongly object and even take her away forcibly. She had even thought of the wording of her rebuttal.
But she never expected that Lin Ye would agree so easily, and... even accompany her.
A warm current surged through her body instantly.
Her eyes felt hot for no reason, and her nose felt a little sore.
This guy... is always like this.
Although he usually likes to tease himself and is not forgiving of others,
But every time when a critical moment comes, he will always support him unconditionally and stand on his side.
"What? Are you moved by me?"
Lin Ye looked at her red-eyed look and couldn't help but start teasing her again,
"Do you want to commit yourself to me?"
"Huh, bad guy!"
"Who... who wants to commit themselves to you! Stop being so sentimental!"
Zhu Zhuqing When he said this, the sentimental emotions disappeared instantly, her pretty face turned red, and she punched him in the chest in embarrassment.
"I just... just think that you don't have to delay your own cultivation for me."
"Delay?" Lin Ye heard this and laughed disdainfully,
"Do you think that staying with you is delaying me? Big Cat, you underestimate me too much."
He pinched Zhu Zhuqing's cheek and said domineeringly:
"Accompanying you to practice is also a kind of training for me. Moreover, I can just take this opportunity to practice our Dark Nether Tiger."
At the mention of "Dark Nether Tiger", Zhu Zhuqing's eyes also lit up.
Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
In the critical situation of life and death before, they only performed it by mistake. If they can master it completely through this month of practice...
Then their combat effectiveness will definitely soar to a whole new level again!
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's take a rest."
Lin Ye glanced at the darkening sky outside the cave and yawned.
Coming all the way from Spirit City, he experienced another battle, and his spirit was indeed a little tired.
As he spoke, he hugged Zhu Zhuqing tighter, adjusted to a comfortable position, and planned to hold her to sleep like this.
"Hey! You..."
Zhu Zhuqing blushed at his sudden intimate move and subconsciously wanted to struggle.
"Don't move."
Lin Ye's voice was undeniably domineering, but more of it sounded tired.
"You're going to sleep like this tonight, do you hear me?"
Hearing his tired voice, Zhu Zhuqing's struggling movements stopped.
"Humph..."
She hesitated for a moment and finally gave up her resistance.
It's not the first time anyway.
Then she blushed and found a comfortable position in Lin Ye's broad and warm embrace, with her head gently resting on his chest.
To be honest, every time Lin Ye hugged her to sleep, she felt very safe.
In the past few days at Death Grand Canyon, in order to avoid Soul Beast's pursuit, she had hardly had a good night's sleep, and her spirit had been in a state of high tension.
At this moment, she was leaning in Lin Ye's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and smelling the reassuring smell on his body, and a strong sense of sleepiness swept over her instantly.
"Go to sleep, Big Cat."
Lin Ye's voice sounded softly.
"As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you."
