Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 3 My name is Zhu Zhuqing

The girl had fair skin and was delicate and cute. What attracted Ling Qianyao the most was her round figure.

Ling Qianyao has already recognized that this is Zhu Zhuqing.

It had only been a short time since the awakening of her martial spirit and her body had just begun to develop rapidly, but the little kitten had already shown her extraordinary talent.

Her hotter figure than her peers and her extremely cold expression formed a sharp contrast, which instantly deepened Ling Qianyao's impression of her.

Without taking the initiative to talk to Zhu Zhuqing, Ling Qianyao admired her openly for a while, then turned back and continued to rest.

"Why don't you drive me away like you drove them away?" A cold voice suddenly sounded.

If I really drive you away, you won't be happy.
"You didn't mess with me."

"Oh? Oh." Zhu Zhuqing was silent for a moment. "You fought very well. Thank you."

"Thank me?" Ling Qianyao was puzzled.

"The Dai family is very annoying"

"Really? You're welcome."

The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end, and the entire space seemed to become quieter because of their silence, with only the occasional sound of wind gently blowing through the treetops.

Zhu Zhuqing sat there, her fingers rubbing unconsciously. Her clear yet somewhat indifferent eyes occasionally glanced at Ling Qianyao secretly, then quickly looked away, as if she was afraid of being discovered.

“What a weird person.”

Her fingers unconsciously tugged at the hem of her skirt, and suddenly she pulled out a piece of candied fruit wrapped in oil paper from the small bag at her waist. She stared at the candied fruit for a long time, then tiptoed over to Ling Qianyao and gently nudged the hem of his shirt with her fingertips. "Want some?"

Ling Qianyao half-opened his eyes and saw the crooked "Amber House" logo, printed on the candied fruit, which was the most expensive in Xingluo City. He remembered the price tag in the window of that shop when he passed by it this morning, which said three Silver Soul coins.

"Too sweet." He turned his head away, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a faint pink tinge on the tip of the girl's ear. "Thanks, though."

He reached out to take the candied fruit and put it in his mouth.

"You can help"

Ling Qianyao immediately spat the candied fruit onto the oil paper, "What?"

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned. She really didn't expect Ling Qianyao to react like this. The words got stuck in her throat before she could even finish them.

She was stunned for a moment, then frowned in annoyance and muttered softly, "You are such a weird person."

Ling Qianyao looked at her somewhat irritated expression, secretly amused, but pretended to be innocent and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Zhuqing replied angrily, "It's okay."

So Ling Qianyao put the candied fruit into his mouth again, which made Zhu Zhuqing roll her eyes.

"Did you do it on purpose or accidentally?"

Ling Qianyao laughed and ate the candied fruit, "I was being careless on purpose."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth even tighter, and the icy image she had been maintaining was almost about to break. She clenched her fists, looking fierce and aggressive.

"Hmph." Zhu Zhuqing no longer paid any attention to Ling Qianyao and said in a muffled voice, "Goodbye."

Ling Qianyao couldn't help but smile as he watched Zhu Zhuqing walking away. Instead of letting her worry about family matters all the time, it would be better to let her divert her attention first.

Besides, changing the character of Zhu Zhuqing in the original novel would take years and months.

Since she is in the same class as Zhu Zhuqing, Ling Qianyao would be a fool to send her out. A kitten that you raise yourself is a good cat.

The time for students to get familiar with the campus passed quickly, and Class 1 gathered in the classroom again.

"Students can choose their own seats first. If they are not suitable later, I will make adjustments." said teacher Ma Guobao, who is in charge of teaching Class 1.

Perhaps because of the lesson he had given Dai Gonggong, Ling Qianyao noticed that many boys looked at him with something amiss. Awe? Fear?
Dai Gonggong came over at this time, "Hey, big brother, I've greeted you, you choose your seat first."

"Tsk, you big mouth." Ling Qianyao rolled his eyes at him. "Thanks." He walked to the second to last window seat in the back row and sat down.

The seats were chosen quickly. Maybe it was because Dai Gonggong had privately publicized his bad temper, but the seat behind him remained empty.

"Oh, we meet again. You didn't even tell me your name just now?" Ling Qianyao looked at Zhu Zhuqing who came last.

Zhu Zhuqing's face froze, and she nodded, "My name is Zhu Zhuqing," and then sat down behind him.

Dai Gonggong, who was far away, keenly noticed this scene and looked back and forth between Zhu Zhuqing and Ling Qianyao.

A month passed quickly.

He also had a clearer understanding of Zhu Zhuqing's current situation.

Before the age of three or four, Zhu Zhuqing's childhood was still very innocent.

She has a mother who loves her and an older sister who plays with her.

After she turned four, her older sister began to distance herself from her, and the family's resources began to shift.

It was not until Zhu Zhuqing awakened her martial spirit at the age of six and was chosen by the royal family to form a team with Dai Mubai to fight against Davis and Zhu Zhuyun in the future for the position of crown prince that Zhu Zhuyun completely broke off relations with her and even issued a death threat.

Since then, she has been in a state of silence, but her enthusiasm for cultivation has been boosted.

"Are there any candied fruits today?" Ling Qianyao extended his hand towards Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing slapped his hand away in annoyance, "No!" This guy, has always been enjoying himself by getting things for free, thinking that I am his snack bag?
"Are you in a bad mood today?"

Zhu Zhuqing didn't reply, but her eyes looked a little lonely.

Seeing this, Ling Qianyao couldn't help but ask, "Did your sister bully you again?"

She sighed, "No."

"Ling Qianyao."

"Ok?"

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at him and whispered, "Tell me, are we friends?"

"Heh~" Ling Qianyao rubbed his chin, "You are usually so aloof and you never talk to others. In this class, I am probably the only one who talks to you often.

If I deny it, you won’t have any friends at all, which would be too pitiful~” he lamented.

Zhu Zhuqing felt nothing in her heart. In the past month, Ling Qianyao had made countless sarcastic remarks, but such harmless words could not cause any fluctuation in her heartstrings.

Didn't you deny it? Zhu Zhuqing's eyes moved slightly.

"Come with me somewhere." He grabbed Ling Qianyao's clothes by the shoulders and took him out in an instant.

"Hey, hey, hey?" Ling Qianyao raised his eyebrows, knocked down Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and walked slowly beside her.

"Where?"

"Outside the academy, looking at someone."

Ling Qianyao narrowed his eyes, "What happens after you finish reading it?"

Zhu Zhuqing paused, a blank look flashed in her eyes, and she shook her head, "I'll be back after I finish watching it."

Ling Qianyao continued to ask: "Why don't you dare to go alone?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing slowed down her pace slightly. A trace of confusion flashed across her eyes again, but was quickly replaced by indifference. "I just want someone to go with me, nothing else."

"Let's go," Ling Qianyao shook his head upon seeing this, "I hope we can have some fun."
