: Is Zhu Zhuqing, who possesses the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul, afraid of the dark?

Chapter 97: Is Zhu Zhuqing, who possesses the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul, afraid of the dark? (Please continue reading)

As Dai Yichen felt the soft touch on his arm, the calm surface of his heart was stirred.

In his previous life, he was a recent graduate, a typical working-class person. He was a bit of a homebody in college, and there weren't many girls in his engineering major, so he never had a girlfriend in his previous life.

But not having had a girlfriend doesn't mean you can't. Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've still seen pigs run, right?

Therefore, he was aware of Zhu Zhuqing's feelings for him; they were more than friends but less than lovers.

But recently, Zhu Qing's intimate actions towards him seem to have gone beyond that scope, haven't they?

"Zhuqing, what's wrong?" Dai Yichen asked in a slightly hoarse voice, pretending he knew nothing.

Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips. Even though it was already evening, her eyes shone brightly as she looked at Dai Yichen. But it was only for a moment before she lowered her head and whispered, "It's a bit dark on this road. I'm a little afraid of the dark."

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's mind had actually gone a bit blank. She was well aware of the distance between herself and Dai Yichen, and she made a move like "washing her arm with milk," holding his hand, which became exceptionally hot.

Not only was she nervous, but Dai Yichen was nervous too.

Because the two were pressed together, Zhu Zhuqing could clearly hear the thumping sound, which was the powerful beating of Dai Yichen's heart.

Dai Yichen:

No, your martial spirit is the Netherworld Cat, which has night vision in the wild. You're telling me you're scared?

That reason is somewhat lame.

"Oh, then Zhuqing, you'd better hold on tight, there are streetlights on the battlefield later." Dai Yichen tried to remain calm, not exposing him, and tried his best to control himself from not paying attention to the feeling on his arm, otherwise he really...

Meanwhile, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling walked behind Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Yichen as if they were invisible. They exchanged a glance and understood each other's meaning.

The two of them seem like third wheels.

It's not hard for the two of them to understand why Zhu Zhuqing would suddenly do such a thing; it's simply because Dai Yichen has been too good to her.

A few months ago, Dai Yichen gave Zhu Zhuqing, who hadn't awakened her martial soul, a cultivation technique, which probably already made her feel very good about him. Now he's preparing to find a suitable immortal herb for her. How could anyone not be captivated by this?

The most important thing should be that sentence in Dai Yichen's diary: if there really is no suitable dark attribute immortal herb in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, then Dai Yichen is prepared to spend some points to buy it in the system.

They don't know how many points Dai Yichen has accumulated in a year, but the points required for a single immortal-grade herb are estimated to be quite a lot.

The four of them continued walking towards the outdoor battleground on the back mountain. (The path was a bit long, emm.)

Dai Yichen was not interrupted by Zhu Zhuqing's words; on the contrary, he became even more excited because he needed to shift his attention to Xiao Lei's diary entries.

[Besides Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's spirit fusion skill, my second biggest interest was the Bipolar Stillness Domain used by Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo of the Spirit Hall. Both Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo are level 95 Title Douluos, but among opponents of the same level, their strength is relatively average.]

The reason why Bibi Dong still valued Qian Xunji after he finished assisting him was not only because Bibi Dong had no one else to rely on, but also because of their martial soul fusion skill.

[The original work seems to have explained that the two of them, with their level 95 strength, could effectively seal off people and soul beasts below level 97 when using the Polar Stillness Domain. However, for soul masters and soul beasts at level 97 and above, unless they were unprepared from the start, the effectiveness of this martial soul fusion skill would be greatly reduced.]

What impressed me most was that five years after the Soul Master Competition ended, Tang San, having just reached the peak of level 59, went to the Star Dou Great Forest to find Xiao Wu, and happened to encounter Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo and the Golden Generation who were on their way to hunt down Xiao Wu.

Tang San noticed the Spirit Hall's spirit-hunting team and, taking advantage of Hu Liena's affection for him, infiltrated their group under the pretext of obtaining his sixth spirit ring.

[Soon after, they found Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming deep in the forest. Da Ming and Er Ming were unaware of the effects of the Chrysanthemum-Ghost Douluo Martial Soul Fusion Technique, so they were completely unprepared and careless.]

[The battle had barely begun when Tang San was subdued by Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo's Dual-Stillness Domain. Left with no other option, Tang San had to flee with Xiao Wu. To be honest, these two soul beasts, Da Ming and Er Ming, were pure actors, one equivalent to a level 96 Soul Master and the other to level 97, yet they were held captive by Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo's fusion technique for a considerable time.] (The levels 96 and 97 here refer to the strength relative to this timeline; they would automatically decrease by one level ten thousand years later.)

Xiao Wu: ? ? ?

Xiao Wu didn't quite understand why Dai Yichen would say that about Da Ming and Er Ming, and that Tang San had come to find her. She had noticed that Dai Yichen used the phrase "coincidentally, he was at the peak of level 59." Coupled with the fact that Dai Yichen had mentioned in his diary that Tang Hao had plotted to sacrifice Ah Yin, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease and a bad premonition.

Xiao Wu: Maru, am I going to be a sacrifice?!

Dai Yichen: Hehehe, are you panicking now!

If Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo possessed the strength of a demigod, and their martial souls evolved further using immortal herbs, wouldn't their martial soul fusion skill be able to control a newly appointed god-level powerhouse? Even for just a moment, that would be a huge gain.

[However, when it comes to Da Ming and Er Ming, I really want to criticize them first. Tang San can take a backseat. In my opinion, Da Ming and Er Ming are just pure actors. When Bibi Dong obtained A Rou's (Xiao Wu's mother) soul ring and soul bone, they were nowhere to be found.]

The original text can be found at 6#9@book/bar!

[At that time, Xiao Wu should have already transformed into human form, while Da Ming and Er Ming's cultivation speed was faster than Xiao Wu's in the later stages, and they were already soul beasts of hundreds of thousands of years old. However, when A Rou was protecting Xiao Wu and was killed by Bibi Dong with a single move of Eternal Wound that broke her invincible golden body, these two did not show up.]

[What could possibly be more important than Arou and Xiaowu's safety? Don't tell me they were held up by the others from the Spirit Hall—that's ridiculous! Bibi Dong only deployed two Title Douluos, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, along with some other Soul Douluos and Soul Saints. Against the two beasts' domain, that's practically nothing!]

Xiao Wu: ? ? ?

Xiao Wu tried hard to recall what had happened. It seemed that Da Ming and Er Ming had said they were planning to go to the central area that day, but not long after they left, Bibi Dong's people came over.
