Going to Save Zhu Zhuqing

"Alright... I have no objection! But are you going alone?"

Bibi Dong's eyes flickered with a curious light as she parted her lips slightly, her tone revealing a faint touch of concern.

Hearing this, Chen Jue smiled slightly and unhesitatingly grasped Hu Liena's delicate hand.

"I'm taking her with me!"

Feeling the warmth transmitted from his palm, Hu Liena felt as if a warm current rushed to her heart, and her cheeks could not help but flush with a faint blush.

Even though they had already confirmed their relationship, she was still a little shy in front of her teacher.

Bibi Dong's gaze drifted gently between the two of them, her brows knitting slightly as she pondered inwardly.

This brat isn't taking Nana away to elope, is he!

That simply won't do... Otherwise how am I supposed to...

However, she quickly interrupted her own train of thought, gave a light cough, and softened her tone a little.

"Fine! If you can't make it out there, just come back! I'll wait for you!"

Chen Jue nodded earnestly at her words.

Here, he felt a long-lost warmth-the taste of home-that made an indescribable sense of satisfaction and peace well up in his heart.

Afterward, he turned around, gently took Hu Liena's hand, and the two of them stepped out of the door together.

Bibi Dong's gaze followed their retreating figures, a shallow arc hooking at the corner of her mouth, bright and moving like peach blossoms blooming in the spring.

She murmured softly.

"This little fellow has finally grown up!"

"Bang!"

As the door slowly closed, a slight closing sound echoed in the air.

A trace of inexplicable loss suddenly welled up in Bibi Dong's heart, as if she had lost something important!

This little disciple of hers seemed to have already become an indispensable part of her life!

She couldn't help but think back to that evening.

At that time Chen Jue was only seven years old, pestering her every day to help him wash and scrub his back.

Young though Chen Jue was back then, whenever she caught sight of that thing the size of a peanut, she would still inevitably blush.

Yet after he left... whose back was she supposed to help wash?

Noontime.

"Good news, Chen Jue is gone!"

"What? Chen Jue left? Haha!"

Yan looked at Xie Yue, who was delivering the news beside him, his eyes wide and his expression utterly incredulous.

Then he laughed out of joy, practically jumping for joy.

After all, as long as Chen Jue was gone, Hu Liena's feelings for Chen Jue would definitely plummet.

After all, who could stand a long-distance relationship?

Besides, he had confidence that without Chen Jue around, he would definitely win over Hu Liena!

Hahahaha!

He had already begun fantasizing about his life together with Hu Liena!

Heh heh!

Meanwhile, Xie Yue looked at the ecstatic Yan and felt almost too embarrassed to keep talking!

He was afraid his good brother couldn't take the blow.

But... weren't good brothers meant to be teased?

Then...

"There's also bad news!"

"Spit it out! Haha! As long as Chen Jue is gone, there's no bad news in the world!"

"Uh... You need to steel yourself!"

"Out with it!"

"Nana went with him too!"

"What?"

Yan's face turned pale in a "swoosh," and the very next second he passed out cold on the ground!

Tears inadvertently spilled onto the floor.

Xie Yue hurriedly hoisted Yan onto his back, looked off into the distance, and sighed helplessly!

Hopefully, the choice Nana made was the right one!

In the Star Dou Great Forest!

The two of them hurried forward side by side.

"Where are we going, Brother Chen?" Hu Liena asked curiously.

"To Shrek Academy!" Chen Jue replied.

"Shrek Academy?" Hu Liena grew even more curious.

Chen Jue glanced at her and nodded.

Since this academy wasn't famous yet, it was only natural that she didn't know about it.

"Are the teachers at this academy as good as the ones our teacher teaches us?" Hu Liena asked again.

Chen Jue shook his head.

"Definitely not, nobody can compare to my master!"

"Then why are we going?" Hu Liena was even more puzzled.

Chen Jue merely chuckled and said nothing.

He couldn't very well say right in front of his woman that he was going there for... cough, cough!

Seeing Chen Jue's smile, Hu Liena grew all the more confused.

Yet by tomorrow she would know why Chen Jue wanted to go!

"Then when will we arrive? I'm a little tired!" Hu Liena rubbed her shoulders and said.

Chen Jue said, "Before we go there, we have to make a trip near the Star Luo Empire first!"

"Ah! The Star Luo Empire? So far away! I'm so tired!"

Hu Liena stopped and rested against a tree.

Chen Jue nodded; if he remembered the time correctly, tonight was when he was supposed to play the hero saving the damsel in distress...

And capture Zhu Zhuqing's heart directly...

Afterward, he glanced at the beads of sweet sweat covering her forehead and her slightly flushed face, and his hands and feet began to act on their own accord.

"Alright! Let me help you relax!"

"Fine! Come on, wait, wait, wait! You're touching my... mm~"

"You liar... I'll never believe you again! Wuwu"

The Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu kept his eyes tightly shut, standing motionlessly before the Angel Statue. Suddenly, the Golden Crocodile Douluo came before him.

"What is it?"

The Golden Crocodile Douluo said respectfully, "Eldest Brother, that brat Chen Jue and Hu Liena have left Spirit Hall to go out and roam the world!"

"What!"

Qian Daoliu snapped his eyes open, a flash of anger crossing them.

"Damn it! What game is Bibi Dong playing, does she not know the importance of Chen Jue? If anything goes wrong, what crime should she bear?"

One must know that Chen Jue was blessed with extraordinary talent, and once he matured in the future, Spirit Hall would surely become the overlord of the continent.

If anything happened to him outside, then Spirit Hall's thirteen years of cultivation would be completely ruined.

Although he was indulgent toward Bibi Dong, he would not allow her to act so recklessly.

"I'll go find her!"

The Golden Crocodile Douluo raised a hand to stop Qian Daoliu.

"Eldest Brother! Calm your impatience. Bibi Dong has already sent two level-ninety-five Titled Douluo to accompany them, which should ensure that the boy remains safe."

One must know that Titled Douluo were top-tier powerhouses in the two empires, existences that ordinary people dared not provoke.

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu let out a cold snort.

"Should? I want absolute security. You will secretly protect Chen Jue and make sure he doesn't suffer the slightest mishap! Understand?"

The Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded.

Afterward, he strode away.

Outside the door, he felt a faint sense of trepidation.

This was the first time he had ever seen Eldest Brother fly into such a rage.

And rightly so, the last time he had secretly gone to look at that brat Chen Jue.

His strength was formidable, his talent high, and his rank even seemed to rise faster than everyone else's!

Yet this brat had one fatal flaw.

He was far too lewd!

The last time he sparred with Xiao Xue, he seized every chance to take advantage of her.

And he didn't even spare Bibi Dong...

Judging by his techniques, he seemed like an old hand!

Xiao Xue must never get involved with him!

Yet... it seemed he was the only one worthy of Xiao Xue!

Nighttime.

Four dark figures sped through the forest.

Their Soul Rings shone dazzlingly against the backdrop of the night.

All four of them possessed two yellows and two purples, making them Soul Ancestors.

They had originally thought they were chasing a Soul King, only to find that it was a severely injured young girl-Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing was covered in bruises and cuts, with fresh blood flowing all over the ground.

Right across her chest was a wound deep enough to expose bone.

At this moment her complexion was as pale as paper, her eyes filled with despair!

How she wished her fiancé Dai Mubai would come and save her.

Yet he had long since vanished without a trace, perhaps hunted himself or off living it up somewhere.

After all, he was just that kind of person in the Star Luo Empire!

Zhu Zhuqing could no longer run and finally stopped in her tracks!

"Second Young Miss! I advise you not to make any pointless struggles! Today you will surely die!"

One of the four Soul Ancestors spoke up.

"Hehe! Four Soul Ancestors, you certainly think highly of me. Zhu Zhuyun, I know you're nearby! Why don't you dare come out?"

"Hahaha! Fine! Let me see you before you die!"

A woman emerged whose figure was just as voluptuous as Zhu Zhuqing's.

Zhu Zhuyun!

Zhu Zhuyun stepped forward, arriving right before her. She patted Zhu Zhuqing's exquisite face and taunted, "If you're expecting your fiancé to come rescue you, then keep dreaming!"

"My informants tell me he's probably playing Landlord with some girl right now! Having the time of his life!"

"You've been abandoned, my silly little sister!"

"No one is coming to save you..."
