As long as she doesn't harm the soul beasts who are close to Xiao Wu, nothing else matters.

Just like now, didn't Xiao Wu still offer to help Du Cheng hunt soul beasts?

"Let me tell you a secret."

Du Cheng lowered his voice deliberately as his gaze fell on Xiao Wu:

"Actually, I already had my first spirit ring. I just came out this time to relax."

"Really?"

Upon hearing Du Cheng's words, Xiao Wu was first taken aback, then let out a gasp:

“Then I’ll tell Brother Cheng a secret too.”

Slowly leaning close to Du Cheng's ear, Xiao Wu finally spoke:

"Actually, I also have my first spirit ring."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Wu proudly waved her fist:

"If that ugly mistress dares to act arrogantly when we get back, I'll teach her a lesson for Brother Cheng."

"did not ask……"

"roar~"

Before Du Cheng could finish speaking, a beastly roar came from not far away.

"What an ugly cat!"

Watching the grayish-brown soul beast chasing a girl in a black leather jacket out of the forest, Du Cheng and Xiao Wu couldn't help but sigh at the same time.

Perhaps drawn by their voices, the girl's gaze involuntarily turned over.

"Run!"

Upon seeing Du Cheng and Xiao Wu's faces clearly, the girl couldn't help but loudly remind them:

“This is a 400-year-old soul beast, the ‘Three-Tailed Cat,’ which is not something you can handle.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl turned around and seemed determined to ignore her injuries and stop the three-tailed cat.

"Why don't you leave quickly?"

Seeing the two people standing there dumbfounded not far away, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

Since escaping the Star Luo Empire, she has embarked on a journey of cultivation and aimless travel.

She entered the Douluo Forest to obtain her first spirit ring, but unexpectedly, she was ambushed by the Three-Tailed Cat and had to flee towards the exit.

Normally, she could escape danger as long as she reached the outer perimeter, but Zhu Zhuqing couldn't bear to see Du Cheng and Xiao Wu lose their lives because of her.

After reminding the two of them again, Zhu Zhuqing pounced directly on the three-tailed cat:

Forget it, for me, Zhu Zhuqing, perhaps dying would be easier than living.

'Boom! '

A loud noise reached her ears, but Zhu Zhuqing found that the excruciating pain she had imagined did not come.

Opening her eyes amidst a feeling of weightlessness, Zhu Zhuqing realized that the boy had actually helped her escape the three-tailed cat's attack.

"Didn't anyone tell you that you shouldn't close your eyes when facing danger?"

"I……"

Before Zhu Zhuqing could speak, Du Cheng had already put her on the ground:

"Forget it, let me deal with this ugly thing first."

Perhaps it was because he spent so much time with Xiao Wu that Du Cheng found himself developing a tendency to become a sucker for good looks.

"Awoo meow~"

The three-tailed cat's gaze fell on Du Cheng, and an annoyed expression appeared on its face:

How dare this two-legged creature steal my prey?

With a loud roar, the three-tailed cat pounced directly at Du Cheng.

"Be careful."

Seeing the three-tailed cat's actions, Zhu Zhuqing's expression tightened:

"The three-tailed cat is very fast, you must be small..."

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly stopped speaking halfway through her sentence:

A purple light flashed, and a pale yellow object suddenly appeared in the boy's hand not far away.

Then, the three-tailed cat that had just pounced was sent flying by the stab.

This young man seems stronger than I thought?

Chapter Seventeen: Saving Zhu Zhuqing

'Ouch! '

Rolling to its feet, the three-tailed cat's eyes flashed with a hint of seriousness:

This bipedal is considerably stronger than the previous one, but...

As the roar came from its mouth, the three-tailed cat's figure suddenly faded, and in the blink of an eye, it had already appeared behind Du Cheng.

Sharp claws shot out instantly, and the three-tailed cat slashed down heavily towards the back of Du Cheng's head:

If this blow lands, it will surely tear this two-legged beast apart...

Before the thought could even finish, the three-tailed cat's pupils dilated instantly, and in his vision, a familiar, thick stick came crashing down.

'Boom! '

With another loud bang, the three-tailed cat was slammed to the ground again. Unlike before, this time it struggled several times but couldn't get up at all.

"idiot."

Du Cheng glanced at the three-tailed cat on the ground and couldn't help but complain:

"Didn't your mother teach you not to shout your name when you're using a special move?"

"Meow~"

Given the Three-Tailed Cat's strength, it was impossible for it to understand Du Cheng's words; it was merely screaming in agony because its bones were shattered.

In the battle just now, Du Cheng used his first soul skill and the Five Elements Eight Trigrams Staff, and all I can say is... the effect was stronger than expected!

"That beautiful girl."

Turning his head to look at the girl in the leather jacket beside him, Du Cheng whistled in a slightly flippant manner:

"This thing is still alive, do you want the spirit ring that's practically handed to you?"

"I……"

Hearing Du Cheng's tone, Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback:

Since leaving the Star Luo Empire, she has encountered many people who speak frivolously along the way.

But for some reason, when the boy in front of her whistled at her, she felt no dissatisfaction whatsoever.

"If you don't take action soon, this guy isn't going to make it."

"Thank you."

Upon hearing Du Cheng's words, Zhu Zhuqing didn't have time to think too much:

This three-tailed cat is extremely compatible with her martial soul; it would be such a pity to miss out on it.

Despite her injuries, she walked up to the three-tailed cat lying on the ground, a short dagger appearing in her hand, which she instantly used to pierce the cat's throat.

The moment the three-tailed cat breathed its last, a yellow spirit ring floated out from its corpse, and Zhu Zhuqing immediately began to absorb it while sitting cross-legged.

Generally speaking, a Soul Master needs someone to protect them when absorbing a Soul Ring, or at the very least, they need to find a relatively safe place. Zhu Zhuqing's actions clearly show her trust in Du Cheng and Xiao Wu.

As Zhu Zhuqing absorbed the spirit ring, Du Cheng's gaze remained fixed on her.

So this is what soul ring absorption is. It doesn't seem that special.

Absorbing a mere four-hundred-year-old soul ring was of course no difficulty for Zhu Zhuqing.

Just a few minutes later, Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes again.

First, Zhu Zhuqing stood up from the ground, and then spoke to Du Cheng:

"My name is Zhu Zhuqing. Thank you for saving my life just now."

[Congratulations, host, your bond with Zhu Zhuqing has reached 10. You have been granted one beginner-level lottery draw opportunity.]

[Host has activated second bond; reward: one top-tier lottery draw chance.]

"Zhu Zhuqing?"

Ignoring the sudden system notification, Du Cheng's gaze involuntarily fell on Zhu Zhuqing:

Could it be that person who was recognized by the system?
