boom--
Lu Yu and Zhu Zhuqing had just finished breakfast when a Soul Skill exploded not far from them.
Lu Yu was speechless. It was always the same; he had just finished resting when this group of men in black appeared.
"Second Miss, stop struggling in vain and come back with us! If we run any further, we'll be in the Heaven Dou Empire."
The Soul King of the Night spoke up to offer a reminder.
Lu Yu:...
Lu Yu kicked the fire away, sending sparks and ash flying everywhere, obscuring the view of both sides.
"Walk!"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, instantly Martial Soul Possession; her sudden burst of speed was even faster than Lu Yu's.
Without hesitation, Lu Yu unleashed a powerful strike, "Proud Dragon Repents Palm," at the black-clad Soul King, then turned and fled.
The two spent four months traversing the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest, and after once again escaping the pursuit of the men in black, they finally stepped into the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire.
"Boss, should we continue the pursuit?" one of the henchmen asked.
Snap--
The black-clad Soul King slapped the back of the head of his underling who had spoken.
"You've already gone onto someone else's turf. If you want to die, go ahead and do it yourself."
"Withdraw!"
The Black-Clad Soul King glanced deeply in the direction Zhu Zhuqing had fled, then waved his hand and led his underlings away.
In a Soul Hunting Town outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Waiter, bring out all the best wine and dishes!"
Lu Yu walked into an inn and flicked a Gold Soul Coin into the innkeeper's hand.
"Alright, sir, please come in!"
After they were seated, Lu Yu poured Zhu Zhuqing a bowl of water and asked, "Where do you plan to go next?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing paused in her hand holding the bowl, glanced up at Lu Yu, and spoke after a moment of silence.
Suotuo City!
Before Lu Yu could speak, Zhu Zhuqing put down her water bowl, looking at Lu Yu with a resolute expression, as if she had made up her mind.
"You see my situation. If you continue to follow me, you'll only face more trouble, perhaps even the wrath of the Star Luo Imperial Family. Are you sure?"
Lu Yu raised an eyebrow and leaned closer to look at Zhu Zhuqing, speaking softly, "My current crime is having an affair with a prince's fiancée. Will you let me go if I stay away from your royal family?"
Zhu Zhuqing was about to speak again when Lu Yu raised her hand to interrupt her.
"Hey, hold on, I live in Suotuo City, it's just on my way."
Zhu Zhuqing was immediately speechless by Lu Yu's words, and took a deep breath while looking at Lu Yu with a complicated expression.
Zhu Zhuqing also has special feelings for Lu Yu, but she has lived in the shadow of the royal family since birth.
She never thought of resisting, nor dared to resist.
Lu Yu has already helped her too much, Zhu Zhuqing doesn't want to drag Lu Yu down any further; if she continues to involve him, Lu Yu will only face certain death.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't want to see the only person willing to fight alongside her die for her sake.
Soon the food was served, and the two remained silent.
The next day.
Lu Yu rented a carriage and invited Zhu Zhuqing to go with him. Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment before getting into the carriage.
After getting on the bus, Lu Yu ignored Zhu Zhuqing and closed her eyes to make plans.
Two months before Shrek Academy starts, Lu Yu will soon meet the main characters, and the Eight Spider Lances that she has been longing for will also appear soon.
Although it's possible to unlock the Brother Monkey's supernatural powers as a Soul Skill, it's still unknown when that will be possible. They've been searching for the Mirror Shadow Beast for two years and still haven't found it.
Not to mention finding other comparable Soul Beast, Lu Yu had absolutely no idea about the " Body Outside Body " he possessed.
" Body Outside Body " plucks a tuft of monkey hair and blows on it, creating countless clones.
Thinking of the Eight Spider Lances, Lu Yu recalled the scene from six years ago when he tricked Tang San Tang San, who looked completely bewildered at the time.
I wonder how he is now, and whether he is still cultivating according to Yu Xiaogang's plan.
Outside, Lu Yu, who had been thinking with her eyes closed, suddenly laughed out loud and quickly opened her eyes to look at Zhu Zhuqing awkwardly.
The carriage bumped along the way, traversing mountains and valleys, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
As the carriage slowly came to a stop, Lu Yu lifted the curtain, glanced at the familiar city walls, and turned to ask Zhu Zhuqing.
"We've arrived in Suotuo City. Where do you plan to go next?"
Zhu Zhuqing was silent for a moment, then spoke in a low voice, "I'm looking for someone here."
Lu Yu knew she wanted to find Dai Mubai but didn't point it out, and spoke up as she was told.
"Since you're looking for someone, you can't just wander all over the city! Why don't you come to my house and we can look for each other at our leisure?"
Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.
The two walked through the bustling streets and arrived at a secluded courtyard in the west of the city. Lu Yu pushed open the courtyard gate with a smile on her face.
Squeak--
The courtyard gate opened, and a cold, desolate atmosphere rushed out.
The courtyard was covered with fallen leaves, the stone table and benches were empty, and weeds grew quietly in the corners, indicating that no one had lived there for a long time.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yu's brows furrowed slightly.
After he had been gone for a while, a sense of unease suddenly arose in his heart. Lu Yu walked quickly, pushed open the door and rushed into the house.
The room was clean and tidy, but it lacked any human presence and felt empty.
Just as Lu Yu was deep in thought and secretly worried, her gaze swept over the wooden table in the center.
A letter, previously hidden under a teacup, lay quietly on the table.
Lu Yu quickly stepped forward, picked up the letter, and began to read it.
The handwriting was messy and childish; it was indeed Lu Fei's handwriting.
Brother, after you left, Brother Tian and I were bored. Cultivating all the time wasn't very interesting either. We decided to go out and explore, to broaden our horizons. Don't worry, we'll be careful and will definitely protect ourselves. You don't need to worry!
--Lu Fei ]
After reading the letter, Lu Yu's heart, which had been hanging in mid-air, suddenly settled down completely, and she let out a long sigh of relief.
Thankfully, nothing serious happened; they were just going out for training.
Lu Yu shook his head, clutching the letter. He suddenly felt the helplessness of an old father.
The child has grown up!
My younger brother, who used to cry and cling to me after not seeing me for a while, is now brave enough to go out alone.
Zhu Zhuqing stood quietly at the doorway, watching the dust settle in the courtyard, and spoke softly:
Are you an only child?
Lu Yu chuckled and shook her head, handing the letter to Zhu Zhuqing. "She's gone out to play! I don't know when she'll be back."
