Wuhun Hall's Courtyard!
Upon seeing Chu Qin, the girls all excitedly greeted him.
Chu Qin, of course, knew the reason for their excitement. Having absorbed three soul bones in a row, the girls must have made significant progress!
"Chu Qin, I've reached Level 48!"
Ning Rongrong even jumped up, clinging to Chu Qin's neck like an octopus.
"Only Level 48!" Chu Qin frowned slightly and said.
"Ah! What do you mean 'only Level 48'!" Ning Rongrong replied in annoyance, "Hmph, I'm only fourteen years old! Who's the freak like you!"
"Alright, alright, my mistake!" Chu Qin responded with a smile, "Ning Rongrong is the most incredible, okay!"
"Mhm mhm!"
Ning Rongrong planted a kiss on Chu Qin's cheek and said with a satisfied smile.
"Xiaowu, how about you?" Chu Qin turned to ask Xiaowu.
"Level 49!" Xiaowu boasted with a smile, "Also, Bing'er, Yanyan, Huo Wu, Ling Ling, Elder Sister Yiran, and Zhu Qing, have all reached Level 50!"
"So, does that mean you all need your fifth soul rings now?" Chu Qin looked towards Huo Wu and the others and asked.
"Yes, yes!" All the girls responded in unison.
"How about this, if you're not in a rush, I'll take you to get your fifth soul rings after a while!" Chu Qin said with a slight smile.
Just returning to Wuhun City and then leaving again would definitely not please Bi Bidong!
They had all cultivated the Glazed Vajra Body and needed over ten Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, which the Hunting Soul Forest definitely didn't have!
"Mhm mhm, no hurry!" Huo Wu and the others all responded obediently.
"Wait, Chu Qin!" Ning Rongrong pouted and said.
"Yes? What's wrong?" Chu Qin raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Zhu Qing was at the same level as me just a short while ago!" Ning Rongrong furrowed her brows and said, "Why, after a trip to the Aquipeia Forest, is her level higher than mine!"
Zhu Qing's level, naturally, was because Chu Qin had given her the soul bone from the Red King!
Seeing Chu Qin remain silent, Ning Rongrong hopped down from his embrace, "Hmph, favoritism!"
"Ning Rongrong!" Xiaowu walked over to Ning Rongrong's side and said with a gentle smile, "You can't blame Chu Qin for this!"
Zhu Qing kept her head down, too shy to speak.
"Sigh, do you remember?" Chu Qin sighed slightly, "During our time in the Aquipeia Forest, Zhu Qing and You Ji were captured! She obtained her soul bone at that time!"
"Ah! So that's what happened!"
Ning Rongrong, realizing this, felt a twinge of guilt. She remembered that at that time, Zhu Qing had almost been killed by the Bear Lord and his group!
She now felt that Zhu Qing deserved her soul bone!
"Alright, my little witch," Chu Qin touched Ning Rongrong's cheek, "from now on, I'll think of you first when it comes to gifts!"
There was no helping it, Ning Rongrong among his women, besides Zhu Qing was the youngest and was a pampered little witch, Chu Qin naturally had to favor her more!
"Mhm, that's more like it, I forgive you!" Ning Rongrong declared proudly with a smile, "But tonight, you have to sleep with me!"
"Alright!"
...
Nighttime!
Chu Qin led Zhu Qing away from Wuhun Hall's Courtyard and arrived at a secluded inn outside of Wuhun City!
"Chu Qin, is my sister really in this inn?" Zhu Qing asked in surprise, looking towards Chu Qin.
"Yes!" Chu Qin nodded lightly and said, "But when you see your sister, make sure not to hurt her, okay?"
"I won't!" Zhu Qing shook her head sensibly and said, "Before, I only hated her, and all I wanted was to surpass my sister! But after I defeated her, I realized that all that hate was because she was stronger than me! Now, I don't harbor any hard feelings against her at all! Especially after knowing how hard her life has been these years!"
"Hmm!" Chu Qin embraced Zhu Zhuqing and said.
"Chu Qin..." Zhu Zhuqing suddenly looked at Chu Qin, wanting to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong?" Chu Qin asked with a tender smile.
"It's nothing!" Zhu Zhuqing replied with a slight smile.
"Hmm..."
Having said that, Chu Qin walked towards the hotel with Zhu Zhuqing.
Just as they arrived at the garden inside the hotel, a sneaky figure suddenly jumped in from outside the hotel's surrounding wall!
Chu Qin immediately shielded Zhu Zhuqing behind him!
However, before Chu Qin could make a move, a strong burst of green light flashed, followed by a painful and miserable scream!
Subsequently, a green figure fell to the ground, kneeling in front of Chu Qin, "At your service, master!"
The green figure was a beautiful woman with big eyes, probably in her thirties.
She had a graceful figure and lithe body, wearing tight green armor that accentuated a lush and perfect physique, with a deep ravine at her chest that was utterly captivating!
"Who are you?" Chu Qin asked, slightly startled.
"Doesn't master remember me?" the woman responded, "I am the Green-eyed Dragon King! Master asked me to replace Su Daji in protecting Zhu Zhuyun!"
"So, you also have a human form!" Chu Qin said, delightfully surprised.
"Mhm!" Green-eyed Dragon King replied.
"Green-eyed Dragon King, my sister, is she alright?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
"She is Zhu Qing, my woman! The Zhu Zhuyun you are protecting is her elder sister!" Chu Qin quickly introduced them.
"To the lady master, your sister is perfectly fine!" Green-eyed Dragon King said with a smile.
"Then just now, who was that person?" Chu Qin asked, perplexed.
"All of them were assassins sent by someone named Davis to kill Zhu Zhuyun!" Green-eyed Dragon King answered.
"Davis knows that Zhu Zhuyun is here?" Chu Qin said, slightly angered!
"Yes!" Green-eyed Dragon King replied, "Since last month, this has been the tenth wave of assassins!"
"Damned Davis!" Zhu Zhuqing clenched her teeth in anger and said.
Chu Qin's eyes, too, showed a rising anger.
"Interesting!" Chu Qin said, his lips curling into a half-smile. In his heart, Davis had to die!
"Does my sister know about the assassination?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
"Zhu Zhuyun knows about it!" Green-eyed Dragon King replied, "But no one else does. Your subordinate always cleans up very cleanly, so nobody knows that Soul Masters have died here!"
"Azure Dragon, you've done very well! Take us to see Zhu Zhuyun!" Chu Qin turned towards Green-eyed Dragon King and said.
"Yes, master!"
With those words, led by Green-eyed Dragon King, Chu Qin and Zhu Zhuqing arrived at the room where Zhu Zhuyun was staying.
"Chu Qin!" Upon seeing Chu Qin, Zhu Zhuyun cried out in surprise. Ever since Chu Qin had saved her, she couldn't get him out of her mind, but Zhu Zhuyun quickly noticed Zhu Zhuqing and Chu Qin holding hands tightly and couldn't help but feel disheartened, "Zhu Qing..."
"Sister, are you alright?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
At that moment, Zhu Zhuyun knelt before Zhu Zhuqing and cried out, "I'm sorry, Zhu Qing!"
Because Davis was obsessed with seizing the throne, he had been using Zhu Zhuyun to eliminate Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai!
"Sister, get up, don't be like this!" Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed in shock and quickly helped Zhu Zhuyun to her feet, "Sister, I've already seen through that beast Davis's true face, you had no choice!"
"But I personally tried to assassinate you!" Zhu Zhuyun cried bitterly, "I'm so sorry to you!"
"Sister, it's okay!" Zhu Zhuqing replied, "To tell you the truth, I hated you a lot too! But no matter what, you are still my elder sister, and that will never change! Besides, I am still alive, aren't I? You're alive too, and being alive is the most important thing! Sister, it's not possible for you to go back to Davis now, but don't worry, I have forgiven you!"
"Thank you, Zhu Qing!" Zhu Zhuyun cried remorsefully.
