Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 18 Dai Mubai escapes from Xingluo
Half a year later, Xingluo Junior Soul Master Academy, Ling Qianyao's dormitory.

Zhu Zhuyun leaned against the wall, arms folded across her chest. She glanced at Ling Qianyao, who was flipping through a book and taking notes at the desk, and said slowly, "Dai Mubai fled Xingluo City last night and headed north."

"Okay, I see. How did the Xingluo royal family react? Was it very urgent?"

"Oh," Zhu Zhuyun sneered, "You think they are too humane. The Dai family is angry, but they don't intend to intervene. Before the final battle, how the chosen ones grow is their business.

However, they are too embarrassed to admit defeat, and it is true that they have been paying more attention to Zhu Qing in recent days.

I'll tell you when you can leave."

"Snapped--"

Ling Qianyao closed the book and put it into his storage ring.

"You came to me just to tell me this? I can get this kind of news today or tomorrow. There's no need for you to come in person, right?"

Zhu Zhuyun threw an envelope to Ling Qianyao, "I found what you wanted."

Ling Qianyao opened the envelope, took out the letter, and quickly glanced at it, his brows gradually furrowed.

"Xu Xinglan, the daughter of the third elder of the Xingguan Sect, appeared in Xingluo City several years ago. Later, members of the Xingguan Sect arrived at the Xingluo Imperial Family and secretly joined forces to bring her back to the sect."

Ling Qianyao lit the letter.

"Where is the Xingguan Sect now?"

"We only know that the Beichen Mountains are a hidden place. No one knows its exact location." Zhu Zhuyun sat up, supporting her head with one hand. "You asked me to investigate this matter. Aren't you afraid that I might suspect something?"

Ling Qianyao shrugged. "I don't understand what you're saying. Besides, aren't you afraid that Zhu Qing will find out by coming here?"

"She was summoned by her family elders today and won't come to the academy. She won't be able to see us together." There was a hint of teasing in her eyes.

Ling Qianyao rolled his eyes, "Anything else?"

Zhu Zhuyun shook her head.

Ling Qianyao opened the door and walked out, waving, "See you later, sister."

Zhu Zhuyun leaned against the door, looked at Ling Qianyao walking away and sighed, "Sometimes, I envy Zhuqing." Her figure flashed and disappeared.

The next afternoon, Zhu Zhuqing came to Ling Qianyao's room with a frown on her face, and her delicate little face was full of melancholy.

"Qian Yao, let's leave Xingluo. It's really annoying here."

Zhu Zhuqing sat skillfully on Ling Qianyao's legs, wrapped her arms around his neck, and rested her head on his shoulder, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.

Ling Qianyao smiled and patted her on the back, "What happened?"

"That loser Dai Mubai ran away. My elders were afraid I'd leave Xingluo too, so they called me over to lecture me. It clearly had nothing to do with me, so what right did they have to criticize me?"

Anger gradually grew in Zhu Zhuqing's tone, "You tied me to this stupid engagement without my permission, and you even restricted and ignored me everywhere. What kind of family are you?

Just for that martial soul fusion technique? Ha, his Dai family can master the martial soul fusion technique, why can't the Zhu family? Why doesn't this useless dad dare to fight them?"

I'm so filial
Ling Qianyao stroked Zhu Zhuqing's hair and said softly, "It won't be long."

"Hmm." Zhu Zhuqing found a comfortable position in Ling Qianyao's arms and fell into a sound sleep.

After a while, Ling Qianyao picked up Zhu Zhuqing, gently placed her on the bed, and covered her with a blanket.

The marriage contract between the two families was like a shackle, binding her freedom and happiness. In the past, she only knew how to endure it silently and regarded herself as a dull person.

Ling Qianyao was deeply relieved by what Zhu Zhuqing had just said. Zhu Zhuqing had begun to express her dissatisfaction and resistance, separating herself from the family framework.

I just wonder what my father-in-law, whom I have never met, would think when he heard Zhu Zhuqing's last words. The next day, perhaps because the bad things of yesterday were still lingering in my mind, Zhu Zhuqing woke up early and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"!"

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly looked to her side and saw Ling Qianyao lying beside her, still asleep, breathing evenly. He didn't have much quilt on him, but he stubbornly pulled away a small piece of quilt to cover his belly button.

"how do I"

Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks were burning hot. She was exhausted yesterday and somehow ended up sleeping here.

Fortunately, she had been given a single dormitory before, and her daily life and routine were not noticed by teachers or students. If other people found out that they were a single man and a single woman spending a night in the same room, it would easily cause some rumors.

Although there are also students sleeping together in other dormitories.

But the feeling she had was completely different from Ling Qianyao's.

Even after the end of the first half of the semester, when she and Ling Qianyao spent time together at his house, she never slept with Ling Qianyao, although she couldn't help but raid him at night from time to time.

Zhu Zhuqing lay down on her side, pulled the quilt over to cover him, and looked at Ling Qianyao's sleeping face quietly.

His face looked particularly gentle in the morning light, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a high nose bridge, and a hint of determination could be vaguely seen between his brows.

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke his cheek, feeling a sense of complacency in her heart.

"Qian Yao, hehe..." She couldn't help but murmur with a smile on her lips, looking at the corner of Ling Qian Yao's lips, pursed her lips, and leaned over.

Ling Qianyao's eyebrows moved and he opened his eyes.

The scene fell silent for a moment, leaving only Zhu Zhuqing who had stopped moving with a pair of extremely surprised eyes.

"Ah."

Ling Qianyao leaned over, kissed her on the forehead, and flicked her forehead with his index finger.

"ah!"

"Woke up."

"oh oh."

Zhu Zhuqing was a little confused by Ling Qianyao's sudden kiss and forehead tap. Her cheeks flushed instantly and her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated.

She was stunned for a moment, then reacted and quickly sat up from the bed, tidying her hair and clothes in a somewhat helpless manner.

"Why don't you say anything after you woke up? And you even attacked me!" Zhu Zhuqing glared at Ling Qianyao with a hint of coquettishness in her tone.

Ling Qianyao smiled and sat up, leaning against the headboard. "It's called reciprocity. Don't think I don't know. You've sneak attacked me many times."

"Ah?" Zhu Zhuqing's face turned even redder when she heard this. "But you were clearly asleep."

Ling Qianyao shrugged, pointed at his lips and said, "Remember not to put on lipstick next time. It smells like you."

"Why didn't you wake me up yesterday and let me fall asleep like this?" Zhu Zhuqing tried to change the subject and hide her embarrassment.

"You seem to be sleeping so soundly. Besides, it feels pretty good to be able to stay with you quietly like this."

"Get up and wash up." Ling Qianyao stood up and stretched out his hand.

"Okay." Zhu Zhuqing smiled and handed her hand to Ling Qianyao, using the force to stand up from the bed. The two walked side by side to the bathroom, where a blue and a red toothbrush cup were placed side by side.

At this time, Dai Mubai was still on the run.
