Chen Jue kicked her flying, just as Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing arrived!
Chen Jue breathed a sigh of relief.
Good thing my foot was fast enough. Otherwise, who could have explained that scene? Even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't have washed me clean!
After all, jealous girls were anything but easy to soothe!
Hu Liena glanced at Chen Jue and gave a cold snort without saying a word!
Chen Jue chuckled wryly.
One look at her aggrieved little face told him she was jealous.
Fortunately, she wasn't jealous of Zhu Zhuyun, but of Zhu Zhuqing!
Looks like I'll have to give her some proper coaxing tonight!
As for how, he hadn't figured that out yet.
He just didn't know why she had brought Zhu Zhuqing here.
[Ding! Exceptional goddess detected: Zhu Zhuqing] [Depth of intimacy: 0%]
At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing approached Chen Jue slowly, her steps light.
She gazed at his handsome face, and an inexplicable feeling welled up in her heart, bringing a faint, bashful blush to her little face.
She lowered her eyes and spoke softly, her voice trembling slightly. "Thank you... big brother~"
Hearing her say "big brother~," Chen Jue couldn't help swallowing.
That sounds so sweet, even my bones are melting!
That pale little face, still marked with traces of blood, possessed a unique, sickly beauty.
Beside him, Hu Liena's eyes shifted, casting a seemingly casual glance at Chen Jue.
Her fingers gently pinched a fold of flesh at his waist.
That pinch instantly shattered Chen Jue's reverie, bringing clarity back to his eyes.
Fine, fine! You're not holding back at all!
Just wait and see how I deal with you tonight!
He quickly composed his expression and looked solemnly at Zhu Zhuqing.
"Why did you come? Didn't I tell you to leave this to me?"
"I was afraid you'd kill her!" Zhu Zhuqing said, pressing her lips together.
She couldn't stand by and do nothing when she knew her older sister was about to be killed.
Zhu Zhuyun could be heartless, but she couldn't.
Still, this would be the last time!
Chen Jue glanced at her without saying anything!
"I'd like to speak to her. May I?" Zhu Zhuqing asked meekly.
"Mm!"
Chen Jue nodded slightly. His gaze was inadvertently drawn to Zhu Zhuqing as she moved with graceful steps toward Zhu Zhuyun.
Then Hu Liena's voice, as cold as an icy spring, broke the brief silence.
"You're staring so intently. Do you find those peaks so alluring you can't bear to look away?"
Chen Jue shuddered and hurriedly gathered his wits, adopting a serious expression.
"Not at all! How could she be prettier than you? You're exactly my type!"
Hu Liena gave a soft snort.
"I thought you had something important to do. Turns out you ran off to play the hero rescuing a beauty!"
"You're certainly in high spirits, Brother Chen!"
"I bet your reasons for going to Shrek Academy aren't exactly innocent either!"
Chen Jue froze and instinctively rubbed his nose.
I never imagined a girl's sixth sense could be so sharp. She even guessed that!
Then he smiled at Hu Liena, though his smile carried more than a hint of guilt.
"Of course not! You're overthinking it, little fox!"
Hu Liena gently stroked Chen Jue's chest, rubbing her hand back and forth.
A sly smile curved her lips, like a rose in the dark of night releasing an alluring fragrance.
"We'll find out tomorrow whether I'm overthinking it, Brother Chen."
Chen Jue felt that delicate touch against his chest, as though a current flowed from her fingertips straight into his heart.
His heartbeat involuntarily quickened. That ticklish sensation left him tingling with a strange sense of anticipation.
Hu Liena turned her gaze toward Zhu Zhuqing beside them, a flicker of challenge and amusement passing through her eyes.
"Looking at her, she's hardly much prettier than me."
Her tone carried a hint of provocation and confidence.
"What is it, Brother Chen? Do you prefer the big-breasted type?"
Chen Jue froze. Without realizing it, he'd been put on the defensive.
No! How can I let her take the lead?
Still, he had to admit that ever since they'd pierced that paper window between them, she had grown increasingly bold!
She actually dared to tease him like this!
At that thought, Chen Jue's lips curled upward. He pulled Hu Liena into his arms and raised a hand to smack her full bottom.
Smack!
"She's no match for you, little fox!"
"I think my little fox is getting bolder and bolder. It's time to teach her a lesson!"
"Tell me, what should I do when we get back to the hotel?"
Every word plucked at Hu Liena's heartstrings, instantly turning the tables on her.
Hu Liena blushed, pouted her red lips, and turned her head away.
"Since I'm very dissatisfied with your performance as a hero rescuing a beauty just now, you don't get to do it! Hmph!"
"Unless... you let me be on top this time..."
"Oh?"
Chen Jue smiled. Wouldn't that feel amazing!
Hu Liena blushed, her heart racing, then brushed back her lovely hair.
"My strength, talent, and everything else fall short of yours. I have to surpass you in something, so... I want to try!"
"And this time, I'll make you beg for mercy!"
Chen Jue burst out laughing.
He hadn't expected his little fox to be so competitive.
Then I'll... hehehe!
Meanwhile!
Expressionless, Zhu Zhuqing walked straight up to Zhu Zhuyun.
Her gaze was icy, devoid of any emotion.
Zhu Zhuyun wiped the glaring smear of blood from the corner of her mouth, a sneer curling her lips.
Her voice carried a hint of mockery.
"It seems I really underestimated you. I never thought you were so skilled at seducing men!"
"You even managed to land a man this powerful. You've certainly made me see you in a new light!"
"Tsk, tsk. He's had plenty of fun with you, hasn't he?"
Zhu Zhuqing's face instantly turned frosty. Her brows knitted tightly, and anger flashed in her eyes.
She abruptly raised her hand and delivered a resounding slap to Zhu Zhuyun's face.
Smack!
The sharp slap echoed through the air. Zhu Zhuyun clutched her left cheek, shock and anger flashing in her eyes.
She had never imagined that the younger sister she had always bullied would actually dare to hit her!
Zhu Zhuqing glared at her, her voice icy.
"You can insult me, but I won't allow you to insult him like that. He saved my life, and today is the first time we've ever met!"
"He's a decent man!"
Zhu Zhuyun snorted, glanced at Chen Jue as he ran his hands all over Hu Liena, and scoffed. "Decent? Heh!"
Then she looked back at Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Kill me or cut me to pieces. Do as you please!"
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and said coldly, "I'm not killing you this time because you're my older sister. But from this moment on, you no longer are!"
"If you appear before me again and target me, I won't show you any mercy!"
With that, she left without looking back!
Zhu Zhuyun paid no attention to Zhu Zhuqing. Instead, she looked at Chen Jue, a spark of burning desire flashing in her eyes.
"I never imagined there was a man with such extraordinary talent on this continent!"
She had thought her man, Dai Weisi, was a dragon among men. Yet compared with the man before her, he was nothing but a pile of crap!
Without realizing it, her gaze grew increasingly heated, as though she wanted to swallow him whole.
"We'll meet again! When that time comes, I'll conquer you thoroughly! Ravish you mercilessly! Make you kneel beneath my pomegranate-red skirts!"
Then she reluctantly departed.
"Are your injuries all right?"
"I'm... hiss..."
Zhu Zhuqing collapsed painfully beside a tree, an indescribable agony coursing through every limb and bone.
Her eyes were tightly shut, her breathing rapid.
Chen Jue examined her wounds and said, "You've lost too much blood. You urgently need treatment!"
Enduring the pain and feeling how cold her body had become, Zhu Zhuqing said helplessly, "But there aren't any healing-type Soul Masters here! By the time we find one, I might already be dead!"
Zhu Zhuqing sighed, then looked at Chen Jue with gratitude. "Thank you! It's a shame I can't repay you for saving my life. If there's a next life, I'll serve you as an ox or a horse!"
"No need... better this life than the next!"
