Motivated by Attraction

"…"

Su Xing didn't expect Zhu Zhuqing to respond this way.

But thinking about her personality, it made sense. Zhu Zhuqing was always cold, especially during this period.

"Wait, it's too dangerous for a young girl like you to travel alone. Let me protect you!"

Su Xing wasn't willing to let Zhu Zhuqing leave just like that, so he quickly followed her.

As for those two scumbags... well, Zhu Zhuqing was far more important!

Alright, Su Xing admitted it. He had indeed developed an attraction to Zhu Zhuqing. Or rather, he was quite infatuated with her beauty.

Honestly, ever since he saw Zhu Zhuqing in the anime, he had liked her. Now, seeing her in person, Su Xing's heart couldn't help but race.

So, he wasn't concerned with the original story, or that scumbag Dai Mubai. Su Xing wanted to see if he could win Zhu Zhuqing over!

Zhu Zhuqing paused at Su Xing's words.

"No need!" Zhu Zhuqing didn't trust Su Xing and rejected him coldly.

"Don't refuse! I'm heading in the same direction anyway, so it won't be a bother!" Su Xing smiled slightly and kept following.

Zhu Zhuqing stopped again, her steps heavier this time.

"What exactly do you want by following me?"

Zhu Zhuqing coldly stared at Su Xing, her eyes sharp and icy.

But instead of being scared by her cold demeanor, Su Xing found Zhu Zhuqing even more alluring. His heart was beating even faster.

"Alright, I'll be honest. Whether you believe it or not, I've fallen for you at first sight!"

Su Xing didn't shy away from her gaze and directly confessed.

However, Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained frosty.

"Do we even know each other?"

Zhu Zhuqing snorted, "Love at first sight? More like you're just attracted to my looks. How are you any different from those two scumbags?"

Su Xing: "..."

Su Xing was stunned into silence for a moment.

Who would've thought this girl was so sharp? She was already so aware at this age—it was quite remarkable!

Seeing Su Xing's speechless expression, Zhu Zhuqing became even more disdainful. Caught, weren't you?

"It's not the same! They only wanted your body, but I want both your heart and your body."

Seeing the message in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes without her even saying a word, Su Xing wasn't pleased and defended himself.

"…"

Faced with Su Xing's shamelessly bold confession, Zhu Zhuqing was now the one rendered speechless.

She turned her gaze away and snorted coldly, "Then you're worse than them!"

With that, Zhu Zhuqing decided she didn't want to waste any more time on Su Xing and quickly walked away.

"At least let me introduce myself! I'm Su Xing, a level 27 Spirit Master. What's your name?"

Su Xing didn't know how to give up and continued following her, trying to start a conversation.

Hearing his level, Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment. She hadn't expected Su Xing to be at the same level as her.

But she quickly picked up the pace, ignoring him entirely.

"I've told you my name, so what's yours?"

"Come on, aren't you going to answer? Is it a secret?"

"I know it is! There's no way someone I like would be that rude!"

"…"

Zhu Zhuqing remained silent, but Su Xing didn't mind. He just kept walking by her side.

With Zhu Zhuqing's speed, it was impossible to shake him off.

Realizing this, Zhu Zhuqing stopped, clearly frustrated.

"Didn't you say those two shouldn't be let off? Why aren't you doing anything about it?"

Zhu Zhuqing frowned as she turned to face Su Xing.

It seemed she hadn't forgotten about the two thugs who had tried to assault her.

Su Xing had made her realize she couldn't let them off so easily.

That's why she left, assuming Su Xing would deal with them. Little did she know, he hadn't done anything either.

This made her impression of him even worse!

"I knew I wasn't wrong about you! You didn't forget about not letting those scumbags off!"

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Su Xing smiled and nodded at Zhu Zhuqing's words, praising her.

Then, raising his right hand, Su Xing pointed back in the direction of those thugs.

"Railgun!"

Crackling sounds filled the air as blue lightning appeared around Su Xing's right arm.

Zhu Zhuqing was at a loss for words. She didn't care about Su Xing's praise.

But... what was this?

Watching Su Xing's movements, Zhu Zhuqing became curious. What was he trying to do?

Was he going to attack those two from this distance? That seemed way too far!

Did he have a long-range martial spirit?

Boom!

When Su Xing's Railgun shot out, Zhu Zhuqing was utterly shocked. Her entire world seemed to darken, with only the flash of the Railgun visible!

Boom!

She watched as the two men Su Xing had knocked unconscious exploded into a bloody mess under his attack.

They were beyond dead.

"So powerful!"

Zhu Zhuqing wasn't fazed by the gory scene. Instead, she was deeply impressed by Su Xing's Railgun.

Her view of him changed completely.

She had only thought of him as someone as talented as her, but now, seeing the power of his spirit ability, she was truly taken aback.

The speed and strength of his attack were overwhelming. She felt that if she had been on the receiving end, she wouldn't have stood a chance.

"Ugh~"

However, Su Xing, who should've been looking cool and composed, suddenly turned pale and started dry heaving.

Even though the distance was far, Su Xing had still clearly seen the gruesome scene of the two men being obliterated.

He hadn't thought much about it when he attacked. After all, this was the Douluo Continent. Killing was inevitable.

But after actually taking two lives, Su Xing realized he wasn't ready to face it so calmly.

After all, he had grown up with proper moral values.

"…"

Zhu Zhuqing immediately jumped away from Su Xing, watching him with a mix of disbelief and amusement.

Just a moment ago, she had found his strength impressive. Now, it was almost comical.

"Is this your first time killing someone? Don't worry, you'll get used to it," she said, trying to comfort him while holding back her laughter.

She hadn't killed anyone herself, but she could tell what Su Xing was going through.

Cough cough…

"Those two scumbags didn't even spare a young girl like you. They probably harmed many others too. They deserved it!"

Su Xing tried to justify his actions, which made him feel a little better.

"It's not like you're much better!" Zhu Zhuqing scoffed.

"…"

"Hey, don't compare me to them! At least I'm better looking!"
