87: At night, Tiandou wanders around
It was their first time in Heavenly Dou City. As night fell, Su Ye took Zhu Zhuqing for a leisurely stroll and sightseeing tour of the city.
A little time wouldn't affect his cultivation much, and he planned to stay here for a while longer, accompanying his Qing'er.
To be honest, having Zhu Zhuqing, a Soul Venerable, stay in Heavenly Dou City, even with Dugu Bo's protection, made Su Ye a little uneasy.
Many things were involved, and he needed to arrange them properly before he could leave with peace of mind.
"Qing'er, is this your first time in Heavenly Dou City too?"
On the bustling street, the two walked slowly. Holding Zhu Zhuqing's hand, Su Ye felt inexplicably a little nervous and forced the conversation.
Although the two had confirmed their relationship and experienced playful moments and intimacy, it had all been in private.
Counting it, this was their first proper date like this.
Zhu Zhuqing hummed in response, her smile like a blooming flower. "Heavenly Dou City isn't necessarily more prosperous than Star Luo City, but the atmosphere is clearly different; it feels more relaxed and free."
"In Star Luo City, various regulations must be strictly followed. Even the patrolling law enforcement teams on the streets are at least three times as numerous as here."
Zhu Zhuqing was dressed beautifully tonight, her white dress sparkling like starlight, as if she were a goddess walking out of the galaxy. Her every movement exuded aristocratic elegance and cultivation.
Especially her clear, distinct black and white pupils were no longer cold and indifferent. They were filled with a deep, intense, and sweet affection, like drawing honey.
Noticing the snacks on the side, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but become interested.
"Let's not talk about that. Let's go eat something first."
"Lest a certain someone says he's hungry again later. You said you'd accompany me well tonight, so you can't give up halfway."
The threatening look was quite fierce.
Su Ye smiled freely. "Alright then! Tonight, I'll go through fire and water; I'll do whatever you want!"
Zhu Zhuqing inwardly spat in embarrassment. His words made it sound like she wanted to do something else.
The two came to a roadside wonton stall. Zhu Zhuqing had a small appetite and only ordered a small bowl for herself, eating slowly and methodically.
Hmm, unlike a certain someone who eats like he's demolishing something.
Clang—!
The porcelain bowls were stacked high; a certain someone's stomach seemed like a bottomless pit.
Seeing that Su Ye wasn't full, Zhu Zhuqing immediately called out:
"Boss, another bowl!"
The boss had been enthusiastic at first, but now he was silent, silently speeding up the process of scooping out wontons.
How should he put it? The bowls were too small; he actually wanted to bring the pot directly to the table.
But he was afraid of damaging his brand image. After all, this was Heavenly Dou City, and he had to maintain his status.
Zhu Zhuqing wasn't in a hurry either. She propped her fragrant cheek on her hand and watched Su Ye eat, as if admiring a beautiful scene, her expression peaceful and serene.
She didn't know why, but she just really liked watching Su Ye eat. It was very natural and very pleasant to look at.
Perhaps, this was the only way she could currently feel close to him.
"Burp~~"
After finishing over thirty bowls, Su Ye finally felt full, his face beaming with satisfaction.
The little bit of watermelon and big bird he ate on the road weren't filling at all. Coupled with the battle against Snake Spear Douluo, the food had long been digested. Now, he was finally about sixty percent full.
Uh...
Something felt off. It was too quiet; no one was talking. Su Ye looked intently and saw that Zhu Zhuqing opposite him was staring at something, completely engrossed and mesmerized.
Her gaze was fixed directly on him, and her eyes were gradually widening in a daze.
"...Was this girl also a fan of good looks?"
Su Ye felt a strange sensation in his heart. There were unexpected gains from cultivation; this was great.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing so engrossed, Su Ye directly leaned closer. How could she see clearly from such a distance?
"Mm—"
Zhu Zhuqing let out a soft hum from her throat, and two patches of red floated onto her pretty face. Clearly, she had been successfully ambushed by a certain someone again.
"You... are so oily..."
Pouting her cheeks, Zhu Zhuqing looked reproachful. He was teasing her again right after they finished eating wontons.
But looking at Su Ye's handsome face, she couldn't help but purse her lips, pink bubbles popping in her heart, somewhat savoring the wonderful moment just now.
"Indeed, a little gluttonous cat..."
Knowing that women often say one thing but mean another, Su Ye directly wrapped his arm around Zhu Zhuqing's waist and assertively pressed forward.
Like dry wood meeting a raging fire, they were already willing.
Zhu Zhuqing gradually stopped struggling and responded passionately.
In front of the small stall, a handsome man and a beautiful woman were lost in experiencing each other's assertiveness and tenderness, as if they wouldn't stop until they had devoured each other.
That picturesque and beautiful scene attracted envious glances from many people.
It wasn't until one of Su Ye's hands became restless and crossed the line that their tender moment was interrupted.
Su Ye, who was pushed away, scratched his head awkwardly, showing no intention of admitting fault. Knowing it was just inappropriate in public, he laughed and said:
"Well, how about we go for another walk?"
"Okay," Zhu Zhuqing replied softly, lowering her head like a quail.
Just as she was about to leave, a hand suddenly pulled her over.
"Watch where you're going."
Hearing the sound of the carriage moving away, Zhu Zhuqing's face became even redder. Completely flustered, she allowed Su Ye to hold her hand and wander around the city.
The two went to the Soul Fighting Arena. Besides the red-light district, this was the liveliest place at night.
The exciting soul fighting matches drew crowds as vast as mountains and seas, with roars like a tide.
The lively atmosphere there also piqued Su Ye's interest. He pulled Zhu Zhuqing along and registered a two-person team.
As for the name, it was based on their names. Of course, it wasn't the "Wild Boar" team; Zhu Zhuqing chose "Qing Ye."
With Su Ye's strength, capable of defeating a Title Douluo, winning a Soul Grandmaster level soul fighting match was child's play.
He let Zhu Zhuqing have her fill. With her level 42 cultivation, she didn't fall into a disadvantage in a one-on-two fight for a short time.
The Martial Soul Netherworld Spirit Cat and the Black Jade Divine Bamboo were a perfect match. Nourished by the Black Jade Divine Bamboo, the Netherworld Spirit Cat had evolved.
Its entire body was pitch black and translucent, like black crystal, almost materialized, and exceptionally sturdy, not inferior to even strong attack type Martial Souls.
Not wanting her to get hurt, Su Ye decisively took action and easily secured a victory.
"With your strength, we should be able to get a diamond badge."
"However, this kind of battle is of no benefit to you. Not only does it take a long time, but it's also too much bullying."
Smiling brightly, Zhu Zhuqing directly put the iron badge into her storage ring. She didn't even plan to share the ten winning gold coins with Su Ye.
These little things could be kept by her. As for a certain someone's small warehouse, it was used to hoard treasures, so he naturally wouldn't care for these few items.
Su Ye didn't object. Just as he was about to take her somewhere else, an untimely voice suddenly rang out.
"Diamond badge? Hmph, aren't you afraid of biting your own tongue!"
"Some people really think Heavenly Dou City is some backward, impoverished place? This is the imperial capital! They don't even look at their own strength; it's utterly nonsensical!"
Tap, tap. A pair of round and slender long legs walked slowly. She wore a long red dress, and the crimson hair on her head seemed like burning flames.
The woman was extremely beautiful, with a delicate and fair face. Her fiery appearance was more like a proud and untamable wild horse.
Walking towards them now, with her arms crossed, her eyes were tilted upwards in a sidelong glance, and the look she cast made no attempt to conceal the superiority of someone looking down on inferiors.
Swish. Su Ye and the other person's expressions couldn't help but turn cold.
