Chapter 233: Xiao Wu: Since you like him, then go after him, Zhuqing!
The Soul Hunt operation in the Sunset Forest for Lin Qingmo and his group had finally come to an end.
Liu Erlong led Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Yan back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy first.
Lin Qingmo, however, headed toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well alone.
Soon.
Lin Qingmo found the toxic barrier zone, and after passing through it, he entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
His gaze fell upon that vibrant Blue Silver Grass in the center of the spring.
Ah Yin.
As soon as he approached, Ah Yin’s leaves began to tremble uncontrollably.
The broad leaves reached out toward him cautiously, gently brushing against the back of his hand.
In that movement, there was intimacy and longing.
Lin Qingmo squatted down, reached out his hand to gently stroke the leaves, and a soft smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
"Ah Yin, long time no see." His voice was light and gentle.
Ah Yin’s leaves immediately unfurled, swaying joyfully.
More leaves reached over, gently wrapping around his hand, conveying all her joy and excitement at once.
He really did remember her.
"Ah Yin, I came this time because I want to take you away."
Lin Qingmo looked at her, his tone serious.
"I know you don’t want to stay here."
"Your condition is very stable now. When I hunt for my fifth spirit ring, I will take you back to the Blue Silver Forest."
"That is your home. You should return to your kin. With your clansmen there, there should be a way to help you recover quickly."
According to the original work.
The Blue Silver Grass in the Blue Silver Forest could allow Tang San’s Spirit to evolve into the Blue Silver Emperor through Sacrifice.
It should also be possible for their Emperor, Ah Yin, to recover her cultivation through their Sacrifice.
Ah Yin’s leaves suddenly paused, then began to tremble gently, with fine dew condensing on the blades.
Her leaves tightly wrapped around his hand, conveying both her gratitude and her dependence.
Finally, someone understood her.
Finally, someone was thinking about sending her home.
Lin Qingmo smiled, and a soft wisp of spirit power flickered from his fingertips, carefully enveloping Ah Yin’s main body as he gently invited her out of the soil bit by bit.
"Don’t worry, I will definitely send you home."
...
Two days later.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Zhu Zhuqing sat in her room for the entire afternoon.
Outside the window, the setting sun sank inch by inch.
Her fingers repeatedly twisted the hem of her clothes; that matter in her heart had been suppressed for too long.
She thought for a long time before finally standing up and walking toward Xiao Wu’s room.
This matter had to be said; she had to apologize to Xiao Wu to find peace of mind.
Arriving at Xiao Wu’s door, she took several deep breaths before raising her hand to knock gently.
"Come in."
Xiao Wu’s crisp voice came from inside.
Zhu Zhuqing pushed the door open and entered, closing it behind her.
Xiao Wu was sitting at the table munching on a carrot. Seeing her enter, she smiled and waved.
"Zhuqing? Come and sit. What’s wrong? You don’t look very well."
Zhu Zhuqing walked up to Xiao Wu and stood still.
"Xiao Wu, I’m sorry."
Her voice was thick with guilt.
"Eh?"
Xiao Wu froze for a moment, put down the carrot in her hand, and looked at her in confusion.
"What’s wrong, Zhuqing? Why are you apologizing to me? Did something happen?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked up, meeting Xiao Wu’s clear eyes, and the guilt in her heart grew a bit heavier.
She bit her lip and said word by word, "I... when I was in the Sunset Forest before... I kissed A-Qing."
"I know you are his lover. I shouldn’t have done that. I’m sorry."
After speaking, her ears turned completely red, and she lowered her head, not daring to see Xiao Wu’s reaction.
"..."
The silence made Zhu Zhuqing’s heart tighten with nervousness.
She was already prepared to be scolded or even hit.
After all, it was she who had done wrong.
But to her surprise, Xiao Wu only widened her eyes slightly upon hearing her words.
Then she smiled, waved her hand, and said lightly, "Is that all? I thought it was something major."
"Huh?"
This nonchalant response left Zhu Zhuqing bewildered.
"You... you don’t mind?"
Her voice trembled slightly.
"You are clearly A-Qing’s lover. I did something like that; how could you not mind?"
"Sigh."
Xiao Wu sighed.
She took her hand, had her sit beside her, and looked at her seriously.
"Zhuqing, I like A-Qing, I like him very, very much, but I have no way to have him all to myself."
When she said this, a faint trace of helplessness flashed across her face.
She knew very well in her heart.
How powerful that woman was—the Titled Douluo who called herself A-Qing’s master.
She couldn’t defeat that person. Before her, she couldn’t even protect A-Qing, let alone keep him to herself.
She needed to win over more people—more people who liked A-Qing and would treat him sincerely.
Only by standing together could they oppose that terrifying woman who toyed with A-Qing; only this way could they protect him.
Zhu Zhuqing was a good girl with a resilient personality.
It would be great if she could bring her over to her side.
Of course, she wouldn’t tell Zhu Zhuqing these things.
Nor could she let her know about the excessive behavior of A-Qing’s master.
Xiao Wu’s gaze fell on Zhu Zhuqing, her expression serious: "Zhuqing, tell me the truth, do you like A-Qing?"
"!!!"
Zhu Zhuqing’s cheeks instantly turned crimson, as if her secret had been poked out.
Although she didn’t answer immediately.
Her reaction had already answered for her.
Xiao Wu smiled, patted her hand, and said encouragingly, "If you like him, then go tell him."
"Be a bit more proactive and make your feelings clear. A-Qing will understand."
"This... this..."
Zhu Zhuqing didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Where was there a girlfriend who would let someone else pursue her own boyfriend?
This was simply too strange and bizarre.
"Xiao Wu, you... do you really not mind?"
She asked again, still unable to believe that a girl would encourage her own rival to pursue the person she liked.
Just putting herself in Xiao Wu’s shoes, Zhuqing found that she could never do such a thing.
Xiao Wu shook her head and smiled frankly, "I don’t mind at all~"
"I like A-Qing, so I want him to be happy. I hope more people like him and take care of him."
"Isn’t it a good thing for one more person to be good to him?"
"..."
Zhu Zhuqing gazed into Xiao Wu’s sincere eyes.
The stone in her heart finally dropped.
A trace of courage also rose from the depths of her heart.
Yes, she had feelings for A-Qing, so why didn’t she dare to say it?
Xiao Wu was currently opening the door to a new World for Zhu Zhuqing.
...
What they didn’t know was that outside the door, Ning Rongrong was hiding behind a pillar in the corridor, hearing every word of their conversation.
...
In the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the floor paved with warm white jade was polished to a mirror shine.
Light-attribute gems embedded in the pillars broke the sunlight into fine golden shards that flowed over every carving in the hall.
Ning Fengzhi sat on the sandalwood chair at the head of the room, his fingertips twisting a suet-white jade teacup.
The white mist rising from the cup’s rim drifted past his gentle brows and eyes, softening those eyes that had seen through the World’s affairs.
The hall door was gently pushed open by the guards outside.
A figure dressed in a moon-white brocade robe walked in slowly.
The visitor was none other than the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe.
