Chapter 95 Zhu Zhuqing (Seventh Update)
Lin Qiyue took a step and walked towards the direction from which the commotion was coming.
Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Xiao Lan, the four girls, naturally followed closely behind.
As the distance closed, the movements ahead became increasingly clear.
As Lin Qiyue and her group approached, the scene ahead came into clear view.
A slender and agile figure was darting through the dense forest.
She was a girl who looked to be about twelve years old, wearing a close-fitting black leather outfit that outlined her figure, which, though still somewhat immature, was already showing signs of becoming quite attractive.
Her long black hair flew backward as she ran at high speed.
She was incredibly fast, her movements as agile as a real cat, each leap precisely avoiding obstacles, clearly demonstrating that her martial spirit was closely related to speed.
About 100 meters behind her, five or six men in black were hot on her heels.
These people acted swiftly and coordinated perfectly, subtly forming an encirclement.
The woman at the head of the group was also dressed in black, but she was taller and more voluptuous, with a charming face.
Upon closer inspection, her eyebrows and eyes bore an eight or nine-tenths resemblance to the girl running ahead, only her demeanor was more mature.
Zhu Zhuqing glanced back briefly, a hint of anxiety flashing in her cold gaze.
He bit his lower lip, and his speed increased even more.
Behind her, a woman with a similar face, Zhu Zhuyun, followed leisurely, not using her full speed, but simply following closely.
Her charming voice, tinged with teasing, pierced through the woods: "My dear little sister, why are you running away? Come back with me, and I'll take good care of you~"
Zhu Zhuqing ignored the sounds behind her, focusing all her attention on running and breaking through.
She knew that any moment of distraction could allow her to be caught up.
"Seriously, they won't listen to reason, so they'll have to suffer the consequences!"
Zhu Zhuyun's voice still carried a hint of laughter, but it had turned colder.
She didn't seem to be in a hurry to capture Zhu Zhuqing immediately; rather, she seemed to be enjoying this cat-and-mouse game.
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing's pupils contracted as she was running at full speed.
She keenly sensed several unfamiliar figures appearing not far ahead—it was Lin Qiyue and her group.
Oh no! There are people ahead!
Alarm bells rang in her mind.
Behind him were pursuers sent by his family, led by his elder sister. If innocent bystanders were dragged into this brutal internal strife within the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire—
Despite her difficult circumstances, Zhu Zhuqing held firm to her principles.
In a flash, she made her decision.
Suddenly, her straight forward momentum came to an abrupt halt. Her toes slammed heavily against a rock, and without the slightest hesitation, she twisted her body and charged towards the denser and more rugged woodland on the left!
This turn separated her from Lin Qiyue and the others, but it also undoubtedly slowed her down.
Zhu Zhuyun, who had been calmly following behind, raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. However, she still calmly led her men to adjust their direction and continue the chase.
Lin Qiyue took in the whole scene.
He was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting that the girl's first reaction in her own moment of danger would be to change her route out of fear of implicating strangers.
Watching the black figure resolutely turn to the left, Lin Qiyue's lips slowly curved into a smile.
"Are you afraid of implicating us?"
He muttered to himself.
"To be able to consider others even when one is struggling to survive—that kind of character is rare."
His gaze followed the direction in which Zhu Zhuqing disappeared, and his smile deepened.
"I'm really growing to like you more and more, little kitty."
As soon as he finished speaking, although his aura did not change much, Dugu Yan and Xiao Lan, who had followed him for a long time, could feel that their young master had developed a clear interest in the unfamiliar girl. It was the kind of interest that comes from seeing something that he liked and wanting to take it into his grasp.
In fact, Lin Qiyue already knew that the kitten had returned, which was why he chose to come here to obtain a soul ring for Rongrong.
After all, the kitten was one of his future teammates.
"Young master, shall we intervene?"
Dugu Yan asked in a low voice. She had been following Lin Qiyue for quite some time and naturally understood what he meant.
Lin Qiyue did not answer immediately, but closed his eyes slightly. His immense spiritual power spread out silently from the center of his body, like ripples on water.
All the Blue Silver Grass around him became an extension of his perception, and he instantly grasped the path Zhu Zhuqing took after changing direction, as well as the dynamics of Zhu Zhuyun and the others adjusting their pursuit.
A few breaths later, he opened his eyes.
"Well, since we've met, it must be fate. And—"
He paused, then looked at Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan.
"She has good talent; she's a player I've already reserved, so I'll save her!"
"Okay! Shall we fight?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong was not afraid at all. Instead, her eyes lit up and she excitedly clenched her little fists.
"Go! Go! Go! It's been so long since we've had a fight!"
Seeing her eager little face, Lin Qiyue chuckled and gently patted her head.
"Little Rongrong, you just stay where you are. This level of battle doesn't require your help."
"off"
Ning Rongrong puffed out her cheeks, a little unwilling, but still obediently nodded.
The next moment, Lin Qiyue's figure blurred and disappeared from the spot.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was running at full speed through the rugged woodland, suddenly felt a tightness in her heart.
It wasn't because of the pursuers getting closer and closer behind her, but because, without warning, there was someone standing directly in front of her.
A tall, upright young man stood quietly there, blocking her way.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on him.
It's him!
Zhu Zhuqing immediately recognized him as the boy from the group of strangers!
How could he suddenly appear here?
How could it be so fast?!
"Get out of the way!"
She almost instinctively hissed, trying to step aside to warn him of the danger.
However, Lin Qiyue simply smiled at her and remained standing in place, showing no intention of avoiding her.
Just as Zhu Zhuqing was about to pass by him, Lin Qiyue raised his right hand and casually pointed forward with his slender fingers.
Buzz!
As if receiving a silent command, from him as the center, countless thick and tough vines with strange blue-green stripes burst forth from the ground and through the forest like living pythons in the ground, tree trunks, and rock crevices around him!
These vines grew faster than anyone could imagine, and in the blink of an eye, they wove together into a huge net covering an area of tens of meters in radius, with a clear target—Zhu Zhuyun and his men who were hot on their heels!
"Don't worry, just stand up."
Lin Qiyue's gentle voice rang in Zhu Zhuqing's ears.
At the same time, he reached out his left hand and grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's wrist, who was stunned by the sudden change in front of her and whose speed had suddenly decreased. With a gentle pull, he brought her to his side.
