86: Zhu Zhuqing looked alert

Chapter 86: Zhu Zhuqing's Wary Expression

“This…how is this possible!”

“They were both instantly killed by that kid.”

“Ah…ah!”

Bule’s legs instantly went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, his face filled with disbelief, and his eyes with immense fear and terror. He quickly knelt down and begged, “Little brother, little brother, please spare me! I beg you, spare my life! I! I! I’ll leave immediately! I’ll leave immediately!”

“I’ve already given you a chance.” Ye Wen said indifferently, walking towards Bule with his hammer raised.

Seeing this, Bule immediately stood up, intending to take Zhu Zhuqing hostage to save himself. But just as he was about to do so, Ye Wen’s hammer slammed down directly.

“No!! Don’t!!!!”

Bang!!!

“Ah ah ah ah!!”

Ye Wen’s second Spirit Ability, Deep Sea Demon Hammer, came with an explosive effect. With one throw of the hammer, Bule’s body instantly exploded into smithereens.

“Mmm hmm ah ah~” Zhu Zhuqing also let out a captivating cry as she was sent flying by the residual shockwave of the explosion.

Just as she was about to fall to the ground, a hand suddenly wrapped around Zhu Zhuqing’s waist, pulling her into an embrace.

“Are you alright?” Ye Wen and Zhu Zhuqing’s bodies were pressed tightly together.

He could clearly feel the sensation of Zhu Zhuqing’s fiery figure against him, and the cool, fragrant scent emanating from her, which was very pleasant.

The two faced each other, extremely close, so much so that both could feel the other’s faint breathing. This made Zhu Zhuqing’s small face flush, “I…I’m fine, let go of me.”

“Oh.” Ye Wen responded faintly and then released Zhu Zhuqing.

“Thank you, for saving me, I’m very grateful, I, I don’t know how to repay you.” Zhu Zhuqing thanked him from the bottom of her heart, feeling immense gratitude.

If not for the appearance of Ye Wen and Evil Tiger, she would truly have been finished today. Being defiled by such a perverted man would have been more despairing and painful than death for her.

“If you don’t know how to repay me, then you can just offer yourself.” Ye Wen said with a smile.

“Ah? What?” Zhu Zhuqing was stunned.

“Just kidding with you, there’s no need for repayment, it was just a small favor.” Ye Wen waved his hand.

Zhu Zhuqing, however, was very serious: “I, I have an engagement, and it’s an unbreakable one, so I cannot offer myself. But I will definitely repay your kindness today. What was a small favor to you, is like a life to me.”

“Heh heh, suit yourself, I don’t care if you repay me or not.” Ye Wen shrugged, and as he spoke, he walked towards the path ahead, with Evil Tiger following behind him.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Wen’s departing back and inexplicably developed a good impression of the young man. Of course, this good impression was not the kind of liking.

“What are you still standing there for? Come on, your current state is very weak. If you encounter a few more people who plot against your beauty, you won’t even have the ability to resist.” Ye Wen stopped, slightly turned his head, and said to Zhu Zhuqing behind him.

For a woman with such a fiery figure and pretty face, honestly, without some strength, traveling alone is truly very dangerous. The public order in this World is not as beautiful and safe as one might imagine.

“Thank…thank you.” Zhu Zhuqing’s heart lifted, and she quickly scurried to follow behind Ye Wen and Evil Tiger.

She was also worried about this. After the fight with the three perverted swordsmen, she was not only injured but also somewhat weak in all aspects. At this moment, let alone a Spirit Ancestor, if she encountered a Spirit Grandmaster, she probably wouldn’t have any strength to resist.

Zhu Zhuqing quietly followed behind Ye Wen, like a docile kitten, sticking close.

Although Tang San was Ye Wen’s fated life-and-death opponent, it didn’t mean he disliked everyone in Shrek Academy. These people wouldn’t necessarily all be his enemies, after all, he could change the original developments.

Among the Shrek Seven Devils, besides Tang San, he also found Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Ning Rongrong to be quite disagreeable.

Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, were alright.

In Ye Wen’s opinion, besides Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing, and the not-so-likable Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai were also not good guys.

This time, if those two dared to interfere when he went to Shrek Academy to capture Xiao Wu, Ye Wen would beat them up too.

He glanced at Zhu Zhuqing behind him and stated directly, “You’re planning to go to Shrek Academy, aren’t you?”

Zhu Zhuqing’s heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Ye Wen suspiciously, “How…how do you know?”

“Heh heh, not only do I know you’re going to Shrek Academy to enroll, but I also know you’re from the Hell Civet family, right? Your name is Zhu Zhuqing, and you’re here to find your Imperial fiancé, Dai Mubai, for the arranged marriage.” Ye Wen smiled faintly.

“How do you know all this? You even know my name, and his name!” Zhu Zhuqing’s face instantly sank, and she looked at Ye Wen with some wariness and a hint of defensiveness.

“What are you doing?” Ye Wen looked at Zhu Zhuqing.

“How do you know so much about me? Who exactly are you!” Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Wen with great suspicion.

She suddenly thought, encountering robbers, then coincidentally being saved by someone, and then the person who saved her knows so much about her!

He instantly saw through her identity, name, and even her fiancé. Could there really be such a coincidence?

A child raised in a family like the Hell Civet would naturally overthink things. She even suspected that the events just now might have been orchestrated by Ye Wen himself.

Ye Wen hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, “You…you wouldn’t think that my saving you wasn’t accidental, but rather something I planned, would you?”

“Is there no such possibility?” Zhu Zhuqing asked warily.

Ye Wen was instantly speechless: “What would be the point of me doing that? To capture you, kill you? Or to take you back to your family? I could have just acted directly, why bother with this charade, and even waste three Spirit Masters?”

“Or do you think I staged a hero saving the beauty act to gain your favor and make you fall in love with me? Just because you’re pretty?”

“Don’t be so narcissistic, okay? I’m not lacking in beauties like you around me, and there isn’t that much scheming.”

“Then how do you know so much about me?”

“Sigh.” Ye Wen sighed. Indeed, his revealing so much truth at once could easily lead to suspicion.

But even if he didn’t know the plot, the information Zhu Zhuqing exposed just now was enough for some people on this continent to guess her identity. So he explained, “The cat-type Beast Spirit you released during your battle just now is precisely the Hell Civet Spirit of the Zhu Family, a noble family of the Star Luo Empire. From this, it can be determined that you are a member of the Zhu Family.”

“Secondly, you just said you have an engagement, and it’s an unbreakable one. This indicates that you are a direct descendant of the Zhu Family, and only direct descendants are eligible to marry into the Dai Family of the Star Luo Royal Family.”
