Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 10 Bringing Back a Granddaughter-in-law
The moment they left Xingluo City, Ling Qianyao clearly felt that Zhu Zhuqing's tense mind relaxed a little.

His shoulders sank slightly, and his steps became lighter, as if he had thrown off a heavy burden.

The distance from Xingluo City to Ling Qianyao's home is not far, and it only takes half a day for ordinary people to get there. After awakening their martial spirits, they arrived at their destination in one or two hours.

"crunch-"

When I opened the door, a familiar and warm atmosphere hit me. The furnishings in the room were simple but tidy. Even though I hadn't been back for four months, there was no dust at all.

"Grandpa Jason should be taking care of it."

Zhu Zhuqing followed Ling Qianyao and looked around curiously. It didn't have the grandeur of her own home, but compared to the pressure at home, this place made her feel unusually safe.

Looking at Ling Qianyao in front of her, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"Zhu Qing, please sit for a while. I'll go prepare some food." Ling Qianyao said as he walked towards the kitchen.

"I can help." Zhu Zhuqing quickly followed up, "I also cook occasionally at home. My cooking skills may not be as good as yours, but I should be able to help out."

Ling Qianyao nodded, and the two of them walked into the kitchen together, took out the ingredients from the storage ring, and started to get busy.

Ling Qianyao was the chef, while Zhu Zhuqing washed and cut vegetables and served seasonings.

"Very good knife skills." Ling Qianyao praised.

Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "Thank you for the compliment."

The two of them worked together in perfect harmony, and it didn't feel like it was their first time cooking together.

Zhu Zhuqing took the used salt shaker and looked at Ling Qianyao tenderly, "This feeling is just like being a real couple."

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and after she said those words in her heart, she felt like a deer was running around in her heart.

From the age of four until she awakened her spirit and went to the Spirit Academy, she encountered many changes and originally thought that she would rarely have such a peaceful and warm moment again.

Her heartstrings had been tense because of the sudden engagement and fateful confrontation that had been attached to her.

She had become increasingly aloof and taciturn, but suddenly she was glad that she went to get to know Ling Qianyao after seeing him teach Dai Gonggong a lesson that day.

When she was feeling unwilling and confused, and the road ahead seemed dark, how could she not be moved when such a person suddenly appeared?

After seeing Dai Mubai and Ling Qianyao trying to reshape her acupuncture points that day, a seed called "dependence" was quietly planted in her heart.

Ling Qianyao's gentleness, occasional dominance, and his unspoken understanding and support were like a ray of light that penetrated the haze in her heart.

"Zhuqing, Zhuqing?" Ling Qianyao woke up Zhu Zhuqing who was a little dazed.

"Hmm, hm? What's wrong?" Zhu Zhuqing came back to her senses and cursed herself in her heart.

"time to eat."

Ling Qianyao and Zhu Zhuqing sat opposite each other.

"Delicious!" Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up. Although she was still eating in small bites, the speed at which she picked up the food had become visibly faster.

"I'm glad you like it. If you want to learn, I can teach you." Ling Qianyao smiled and started eating.

"Qian Yao, thank you." Zhu Zhuqing suddenly said in a low voice.

"Why thank me? You're going to live here for a month, so just treat it as your own home. You're welcome." "Yeah"

Do you think of it as your own home? This is what you said, Qianyao. One month is far from enough.
The corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
-
"This is my room. Please tidy up the empty room opposite. It will be your room for the time being. Don't go into the innermost room normally."

"Okay." Zhu Zhuqing nodded. After a semester of getting along with Ling Qianyao, she already knew Ling Qianyao's life experience. That room should be where her grandmother lived in the past.
"Well, you clean up first. I'm going to go out for a while. Don't run around like a rabbit."

"Do you think I'm a child?" She muttered softly, then replied, "I know."

"I'll be back soon." Ling Qianyao picked up the package that had been prepared on the table and walked towards the back mountain.

"Huh..." Zhu Zhuqing breathed a long sigh of relief. Seeing Ling Qianyao walking away, she looked at the rooms on both sides. The one on the right was the room she was going to live in, and the one on the left was Ling Qianyao's room.

"Should I go in and take a look?" Zhu Zhuqing thought to herself, but her body couldn't help but move and came to the door of Ling Qianyao's room.

"Qian Yao's room." Her cheeks were flushed, her hand was already on the door handle, and her heart was beating non-stop.

"Just take a look, Qianyao won't know, um, yes, just take a look."

Gently turning the doorknob, the door opened silently a crack. Zhu Zhuqing carefully leaned in like a thief.

The room was simply furnished, with a large wooden bed covered with light blue bedding, and a window next to it, letting in sunlight.

There were some items piled on the desk, and next to it was a wooden sword, which looked exactly like Ling Qianyao's Broken Star.

She walked to the bed, sat down gently, and lay down with her head tilted back. There seemed to be a lingering scent of Ling Qianyao on the bedding.

"breathe--"

Zhu Zhuqing was intoxicated for a moment, and just wanted to sleep here and never wake up again.

After a moment, she realized what she had just done, quickly stood up, restored the room to its original state, tried her best to erase all traces of her entry, and patted her chest with her little hands.

Her face was as red as blood, she pursed her lips, walked out of the room, and closed the door gently.
At this moment,

"Qian Yao! You're back!" Old Jason's loud voice sounded from outside the house, full of joy and intimacy.

Zhu Zhuqing was startled and quickly stepped aside, pretending to have just come out of her room. She straightened her clothes and tried to make her expression look natural.

After looking left and right, he decided to bite the bullet and go to the door to greet him.

"Studying in this academy. Hey? You are..." Old Jason's words were stuck in his throat before he could finish them. Looking at the pretty girl in front of him with a red face, who looked like she had just done something wrong, he was stunned for a moment.

"Hello Grandpa, my name is Zhu Zhuqing, yes, I am Qianyao's friend. I will stay here temporarily during the holiday. Qianyao just went out." Zhu Zhuqing said slowly and softly.

"."

"Oh~!"

Old Jason's eyes suddenly lit up. Looking at the girl's appearance and clothing, she looked like a young lady from an aristocratic family.

Look at this handsome face and this sweet voice, what a good boy! He's been away for less than half a year and he's brought me a granddaughter-in-law! As expected, I named her myself. The skill of picking up girls is inherited from me!

But isn't it too early for Qianyao to be in a relationship this early? Ugh! It's too early, a wife should be raised from childhood!
"Okay," Old Jason smiled cheerfully. Without asking where Ling Qianyao had gone, he pulled Zhu Zhuqing to sit down. "Zhuqing, tell Grandpa, how is Qianyao doing in the academy?"

Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks flushed, "He, he is very good"

Old Jason grinned even wider, steady!
