Chapter 375 A Girl Holding a Halberd
"You may not understand these words now, but I believe that one day you will."
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's shining eyes, Ye Qifeng's lips curled up slightly, forming a faint arc that was warm and gentle, yet gave off a very special feeling.
Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have figured something out.
"Eat quickly, or it will get cold."
Ye Qifeng pointed to the roasted rabbit in Zhu Zhuqing's hand and gently reminded her.
"oh oh."
Zhu Zhuqing snapped out of her daze and quickly took a bite of rabbit meat.
"Brother Ye, thank you for listening to me and talking to me so much. It's been a long time since I've had a conversation with someone like this... I'm very happy."
After swallowing a mouthful of rabbit meat, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Qifeng with clear eyes. A smile suddenly appeared on her cool face as she thanked him.
"You're welcome."
Seeing a smile on Zhu Zhuqing's face, Ye Qifeng was slightly taken aback. He waved to her, then smiled and said:
"Zhuqing, although we only met by chance, it is fate that we met. If you have anything to say, just tell me, and I will listen carefully."
"Um."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently.
Then, while eating the roasted rabbit, he pondered in his mind what Ye Qifeng had just said.
Just then.
A beautiful figure surrounded by bright, fiery red light swiftly swept from the dark forest in the distance and landed in front of Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing.
This beautiful figure was none other than Princess Nihuang, who had left not long ago.
"Huh? Little sister, you're awake?"
After landing, Nihuang looked at Zhu Zhuqing and let out a soft exclamation.
Actually, she had been back for a while, but she was hiding in the shadows observing, wanting to see how Ye Qifeng would deal with this little girl from the Xingluo Zhu family.
It turned out that her younger brother, Ye Qifeng, seemed very interested in and paid special attention to this girl named Zhu Zhuqing.
Nihuang felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Just as the two finished talking, she appeared and returned to Ye Qifeng's side.
Ye Qifeng had actually sensed Nihuang's presence from the shadows long ago, but he simply didn't expose her.
"Wow, what a beautiful lady!"
Upon seeing Nihuang suddenly appear before her, Zhu Zhuqing, who was eating roasted rabbit, was visibly stunned for a moment, and secretly praised her in her heart.
"Who are you?"
Then, she asked instinctively.
"My name is Nihuang."
Nihuang gazed at Zhu Zhuqing with her beautiful eyes and responded to her with a slightly languid and charming voice.
"Zhuqing, this is my older sister."
Ye Qifeng, who was standing next to him, added a comment.
So she's Brother Ye's older sister. In that case, I should call her "older sister" too.
A thought quickly raced through her mind. Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly rose from the flattened stone, politely bowed to Nihuang, and spoke in a clear, melodious voice:
"Hello, Sister Nihuang! My name is Zhu Zhuqing."
"You called me 'sister'?"
Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing call her "elder sister," Nihuang giggled, seemingly overjoyed.
"Haha, little sister Zhuqing, right? You're pretty good."
"Ninth Sister, has everything been resolved?"
At this moment, Ye Qifeng spoke up and asked.
"Don't worry, with your older sister handling this, it'll be a piece of cake, no problem at all."
Nihuang gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, a confident smile on her beautiful face, and spoke in a charming and melodious voice.
Then, her beautiful eyes swept over Ye Qifeng:
"By the way, Xiao Feng, I saw another girl on my way back. Why did you let her go?"
"Why keep her alive if we're not going to let her go?"
Ye Qifeng knew who the girl Nihuang was talking about was—it was none other than Zhu Zhuyun, who had left earlier.
"Of course, we'd take her back to warm your bed."
With a smile on her pretty face, Nihuang spoke in a languid and elegant voice, using words that sounded like a rogue, her tone full of self-righteousness:
"Anyway, if she stays in the Star Luo Empire, she'll just be ruined by those bastards from the Dai family. You might as well take her back to warm your bed."
"Xiao Feng, don't you think so?"
After saying that, Nihuang secretly gave Ye Qifeng a flirtatious wink.
"."
Ye Qifeng's forehead creased with annoyance; he dared not reply, thinking to himself:
"No, I'm not, Ninth Sister, please don't tease me, I'm afraid the teacher will break my legs."
"What 'little girl'? What 'bed warmer'?"
Listening to Ye Qifeng and Nihuang's conversation, Zhu Zhuqing was a little confused, not knowing what they were talking about.
"Sigh, such a beautiful young lady, Xiao Feng, you really don't want her? That's such a pity!"
Seeing that Ye Qifeng remained unmoved, Nihuang seemed somewhat disheartened and lazily sighed.
Then, swaying her hips and taking elegant steps, she moved lightly to Ye Qifeng's side, pressed herself against his body, and sat down without a care in the world.
Ye Qifeng didn't say much; he was just used to it.
After Nihuang sat down, he picked up another roasted rabbit that was stuck in the fire and handed it to her:
"Ninth Sister, here you go, it's ready."
Nihuang reached out and took the roasted rabbit, took a small bite, and then offered it to Ye Qifeng, deliberately bringing the part she had just bitten to his lips. With a smile in her eyes, she said in a seductive voice:
"Here, Xiaofeng, you eat too."
"Ninth Sister, this one was specially saved for you, please eat it."
Ye Qifeng leaned back slightly and declined.
"It's okay, my sister has a small appetite and can't eat that much. You can help me with some of it."
Seeing that Ye Qifeng didn't move, Nihuang nuzzled against him, her beautiful eyes darting around, a sly glint in her red lips, and she said eagerly:
"How about I feed you?"
After saying that, she stretched out her other free hand, intending to tear off a piece of rabbit meat and feed it to him herself.
"Uh, no need, Ninth Sister, I'll do it myself."
Night Seven Wind Noodles twitched, unable to withstand Nihuang's enthusiasm, and could only take a bite of the roasted rabbit.
"That's more like it."
Seeing that Ye Qifeng was finally willing to eat rabbit with her, Nihuang chuckled, extremely satisfied:
"Little Feng is so funny, especially his embarrassed expression, it's just too cute, haha."
The two of them took turns eating, not caring who was consuming whose saliva.
Zhu Zhuqing, standing to the side, glanced back and forth between Nihuang and Ye Qifeng, scrutinizing them.
Seeing the siblings so affectionately together, she had some doubts. Were they really siblings? Or were they definitely not a couple?
When their gaze fell upon the equally plump roasted rabbit in Nihuang's hand.
For some reason, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly felt that the roasted rabbit in her hand didn't smell as good as before.
After the three finished eating the roasted rabbit, it quickly became late at night.
As a Super Douluo, Nihuang naturally took on the task of vigilance.
However, she doesn't need to hide in the shadows. She only needs to maintain her spiritual power to cover the surrounding area, sense her surroundings, and at the same time emit soul power to drive away soul beasts and prevent them from getting close.
Nihuang sat upright on the flattened stone, her beautiful and bright eyes fixed on Ye Qifeng, who was meditating cross-legged beside her, her gaze never leaving him for a moment.
Zhu Zhuqing, having just recovered from serious injuries and having been chased by her sister Zhu Zhuyun for a long time, was exhausted and mentally drained, and had already fallen into a deep sleep.
She slept on the thin blanket she had lain on before, covered with a quilt that Ye Qifeng had specially brought for her.
Since there were no suitable clothes for her to change into, she was still wearing the same badly damaged leather jacket, but she was wrapped in the coat that Ye Qifeng had given her.
Zhu Zhuqing slept exceptionally soundly that night.
Although she was in the Star Dou Great Forest, she felt safer than ever before.
This must be the best sleep she's had since she awakened her martial spirit at the age of six.
…………
Nothing was said that night, and time passed quickly.
The next morning, as dawn broke and the mist condensed into dew, the first light of day appeared.
In the mornings of the Star Dou Great Forest, the number of active soul beasts is relatively small, but the danger is still immense.
Although the nocturnal spirit beasts have returned to their lairs, the daytime spirit beasts are gradually waking up and starting to go out to forage for food.
Ye Qifeng, Nihuang, and Zhu Zhuqing also woke up.
After a quick wash, Ye Qifeng took out the breakfast he had prepared in advance from the amethyst crystal ring. The three of them ate together and then headed towards the exit at the edge of the forest.
Since the three of them were located in the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest, not far from the edge of the forest, which was within the range where Soul Masters were active, there was no need for someone to clear the way ahead. They could simply follow the path left by their predecessors.
The three walked side by side.
Ye Qifeng was in the middle, dressed in a black outfit, with his long black hair casually tied behind his head with a woman's hairband.
He was tall and straight, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, handsome and intelligent, exuding a peaceful and gentle temperament, like a peerless gentleman who was untainted by the world.
On the left is Nihuang, with a slender and graceful figure, exuding elegance in every movement. Her charming oval face is exquisitely beautiful.
A faint smile played on her sexy red lips, and her alluring eyes, brimming with tears, blinked gently, occasionally glancing at Ye Qifeng beside her.
To the right was Zhu Zhuqing, who was only nine years old. Her face was young and her expression was cold, exuding a chilling aura that kept people at a distance.
She was wearing a badly ripped leather jacket, with so many tears that it revealed a bit of her underwear.
Fortunately, she wore a black coat that was a bit loose on her, which covered her unusually large chest that seemed out of place for her age, and also covered her entire body.
Ye Qifeng looked relaxed and content.
Nihuang was the same way, seemingly indifferent to everything around her.
Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat nervous. She was on edge, her eyes constantly scanning her surroundings, wary of any unknown dangers.
As a speed-attack type Soul Master, Zhu Zhuqing is highly alert and has a keen sense of danger.
Now that she has a better understanding of the dangers of the Star Dou Great Forest, and with the constant threat of assassination by her sister Zhu Zhuyun, she has to force herself to stay alert.
However, with Nihuang and Ye Qifeng around, she was unlikely to encounter any danger.
Zhu Zhuqing was simply unaware of this.
Neither Ye Qifeng nor Nihuang made a point of explaining it to her; instead, they allowed her to remain vigilant.
Occasionally, a hundred-year-old soul beast would even be released along the way for her to practice on, and to teach her some combat techniques.
The three of them walked and stopped intermittently.
Along the way, they encountered several groups of Soul Masters who came to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for Soul Rings, but they all got along peacefully when they met.
Although some in those groups of Soul Masters were amazed and coveted Ye Qifeng's handsome appearance, Nihuang's unparalleled beauty, and Zhu Zhuqing's refined elegance, none of them dared to actually make a move or cause trouble.
Otherwise, Ye Qifeng and Nihuang certainly wouldn't mind teaching them how to be good people.
When the three of them arrived at a point about three or four kilometers from the edge of the forest.
Suddenly, a violent battle shockwave emanated from the area, interspersed with an angry tiger's roar.
Ye Qifeng, Nihuang, and Zhu Zhuqing heard the tiger's roar clearly, indicating that the battle was taking place not far from them.
"Let's go take a look."
Ye Qifeng stopped and said something.
He then used a mysterious footwork technique, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him, and rushed forward, stepping on the branches of the lush trees in the forest.
Without a second thought, Nihuang immediately rose into the air, stepping on the branches that Ye Qifeng had stepped on, and followed closely behind.
Zhu Zhuqing followed suit.
"First Soul Skill, Fangtian Huazhan!"
"roar--"
When Ye Qifeng, Nihuang, and Zhu Zhuqing arrived at the scene of the battle, they saw both sides unleashing their skills.
The three of them stood on a branch of a large tree and looked down.
On a wide meadow in the forest, a little girl was engaged in a fierce battle with a saber-toothed tiger.
The little girl was dressed in ordinary coarse cloth clothes. She was about nine years old and had delicate features. Her black chestnut hair was tied into a high ponytail for easy fighting. She carried a small bamboo basket on her back, inside which a few green herbs could be vaguely seen.
If it weren't for the black and red double-edged halberd she was holding, which was almost three times her height, Ye Qifeng, Nihuang, and Zhu Zhuqing would have almost thought she was just a simple herb-gathering girl.
Opposite the girl was a fierce-looking tiger-like spirit beast with sharp fangs and dripping foul-smelling saliva—a saber-toothed tiger.
That saber-toothed tiger was about five or six hundred years old.
This kind of soul beast has a powerful attack, thick skin and strong defense, and its overall combat strength is much stronger than that of an ordinary great soul master.
The girl was surrounded by a yellow spirit ring. Judging from the brightness of the color, her age was about four hundred years, which was close to the limit of an ordinary spirit master.
It seems she is only a Soul Master at the Soul Master level.
However, in the battle with the saber-toothed tiger, the girl did not fall behind. On the contrary, she fought the saber-toothed tiger to a standstill and even seemed to have the upper hand.
The girl may seem delicate, but when she fights, she is powerful and fierce, like a ferocious female beast ready to devour anyone she can.
Her small body seemed to contain inexhaustible strength, preventing the saber-toothed tiger from crossing the line and harming her in the slightest.
"Is that... a halberd?"
Ye Qifeng was stunned for a moment when he saw the halberd in the girl's hand, whose shape was clearly different from the halberd-type weapons in Douluo Continent:
"A girl wielding a halberd? Why does she seem so familiar? It's like I've seen her before."
Thank you [Kefei] for the 100 Qidian Coins!
