Zhu Zhuqing's face was pale. The tragic state of the Water Condensing Cold Kite shattering into pieces was still vivid in her mind. The thought of herself turning into that same state filled her with a chilling dread.
She felt a pang of regret in her heart.
If she had known she would die so horribly, she would have preferred being hacked to death by those assassins! Lin Xiao noticed that Zhu Zhuqing's body was trembling particularly violently at this moment, clearly terrified to the extreme. After a moment of thought, he understood why she was so afraid.
Lin Xiao: "..."
Uh, this is really a wonderful misunderstanding.
Binger shouldn't be the kind of person who is keen on dismemberment; she just wanted to subdue Zhu Zhuqing.
But in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, it was undoubtedly a terrifying misunderstanding.
Lin Xiao released his grip on Zhu Zhuqing.
He felt a headache coming on.
Damn it, what bad luck that Zhu Zhuqing saw the scene of me and Shui Binger fighting with all our strength. If it gets exposed, it will be a considerable trouble for both Lin Xiao and Shui Binger.
Maybe Lin Xiao will be forced to "voluntarily" join the Spirit Hall.
But murder? He's never done that before! "Achoo!" Zhu Zhuqing sneezed violently again, then quickly covered her mouth, looking somewhat panicked in the direction of Lin Xiao.
One glance, and she saw Lin Xiao's face.
Zhu Zhuqing's brain crashed.
Her brain was a bit overloaded, and the CPU was about to burn out.
Handsome.
That was the only word in Zhu Zhuqing's mind.
Even the fear in her heart was diluted somewhat by Lin Xiao's handsomeness.
Shui Binger still needed to absorb the Soul Ring, and time was of the essence. Lin Xiao launched a Flame Phoenix into the sky, which exploded into brilliant fireworks after reaching a high altitude.
In a short time, Dugu Bo, who saw the signal, appeared before Lin Xiao.
"Huh?"
Dugu Bo gave a light hum, looking at Zhu Zhuqing.
"Who's this now?"
Lin Xiao explained the whole story to Dugu Bo, then pulled Dugu Bo aside to discuss it.
The two of them whispered together, not knowing what they were discussing.
And Shui Binger took on the task of supervising Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing had now recovered her senses.
She tried hard to pull her thoughts away from Lin Xiao's handsome face, looking at the aloof Shui Binger beside her, her heart filled with unease, each second feeling like a year.
Shui Binger was quick-witted and seemed to sense Zhu Zhuqing's restraint and fear. The always kind-hearted her gave Zhu Zhuqing a smile.
Instantly, Zhu Zhuqing fell silent as a cicada in winter! Even her breathing became cautious.
In Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, Shui Binger's sweet smile just now was undoubtedly the smile of a demon, and Shui Binger herself was a great demon!
How terrifying!
She felt even more sorrow in her heart, feeling that she had stumbled upon something she shouldn't have, and today was probably doomed! About two minutes passed when a loud shout suddenly came from beside her, "Really, the two of your Martial Soul Fusion Skill have never been used in front of outsiders, and no one knows its true power. Now this accidentally appearing girl knows everything. What if it gets leaked?"
"In my opinion, it's better to kill her and be done with it!"
Zhu Zhuqing's heart was about to jump out of her chest!
She gently closed her eyes, waiting for the death sentence.
Next, will she be murdered to silence her, or will her body be abandoned in the wilderness?
But a Clear Voice came from her ear.
"Senior Dugu, although she stumbled upon something she shouldn't have known, it's not like she deliberately spied on it. I think it would be too cruel to just kill her like this, don't you think?"
Zhu Zhuqing abruptly opened her eyes.
Her mood had swung from extreme lows to highs, a resurgence from the brink of despair! Hope rekindled in her heart! Dugu Bo coldly snorted, "Hmph, womanly compassion!"
"You think she'll be grateful just because you're putting in a good word for her? Foolish!"
"The world is full of ingrates and those who forget kindness; you'll regret it when the time comes!"
Lin Xiao couldn't bear it, "After all, it's a life, and her background is tragic; she's already being hunted. Although she inadvertently saw something she shouldn't have, she should be given a chance!"
Dugu Bo pondered for a long while.
"Forget it."
"I'll listen to you this time, but if this girl leaks your information in the future and brings trouble, don't blame fate!"
Lin Xiao said, "I believe she won't do that."
Both Dugu Bo and Lin Xiao were drama kings.
One old and one young fox! One played the red face, the other the white face, coaxing the ignorant, frightened Zhu Zhuqing until her eyes welled up with emotion. Her large, clear eyes looked at Lin Xiao, hesitant to speak.
Dugu Bo suddenly turned around.
"Binger, you absorb the Soul Ring first. With me here, there's no need to worry about this girl causing trouble!"
Shui Binger obediently nodded, then went to the Water Condensing Cold Kite's deep purple Soul Ring, sat cross-legged, and began to meditate and absorb the Soul Ring.
Dugu Bo then turned his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing.
His eyes were fierce, and his voice was grim.
"Hey, you little girl!"
"According to my idea, it would be easier to just bury you on the spot, but my disciple is kind-hearted and hasn't even seen blood yet, so he gave you a chance to live!"
"You are not allowed to reveal a single word of everything you saw just now, or I will tear you to pieces, then stuff you into a jar and sink it in the latrine! Got it?!"
Zhu Zhuqing's face showed a look of relief, and she nodded vigorously.
She looked at Lin Xiao, wanting to thank him.
But suddenly, she felt a terrifying pressure!
Zhu Zhuqing looked in horror and saw that behind the green-robed old man, nine Soul Rings were floating! Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black! A Titled Douluo?! Weren't Titled Douluos rarely seen, appearing like the tail of a divine dragon?
She ran away from the Star Luo Empire only to run into one? Was this bad luck or good luck!
Before Zhu Zhuqing could recover from her shock, she saw that behind Dugu Bo, the Golden Horned Jade Dragon, with its golden horn and emerald-green body like an emperor's jade, was swimming towards her.
The Golden Horned Jade Dragon viciously bit Zhu Zhuqing's hand! It was clearly just a Martial Soul phantom biting from a distance.
But Zhu Zhuqing felt a stinging pain, followed by a sharp pain, accompanied by an unbearable itch! She fell to the ground and rolled in pain! Fortunately, the pain came and went quickly, disappearing in just three seconds.
However, in those short three seconds.
Zhu Zhuqing was drenched in sweat, and her black tights were soaked through.
Now, falling to the ground, barely supporting her body, she vaguely felt like she had come back to life.
Dugu Bo's cold voice entered Zhu Zhuqing's ears.
"I have placed Martial Soul Poison on you."
"This poison will not act up normally, and I will control it. Once my disciple's information is leaked, whether you said it or not, I will detonate the poison in your body and let you taste a fate worse than death!"
Playing is playing, joking is joking! He, Dugu Bo, never jokes!
Although he was acting with Lin Xiao just now, to make Zhu Zhuqing have both fear and gratitude at the same time, so she wouldn't reveal everything she saw today.
But…
Dugu Bo really had the intention to kill!
