Douluo: I am the outer demon

Chapter 53 Asking is What I Want

A voice sounded from behind, and Zhu Zhuqing paused.

Turning around, Shang An had already sat up with a faint smile on his face, like the afternoon sunshine, as if he saw the peaceful years. Even Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but be a little fascinated.

"I'm asking you, why don't you say thank you to me?"

Shang An said again.

Zhu Zhuqing's attitude determined his attitude. If Zhu Zhuqing had decided to take action just now, Shang An would definitely make her regret it, but she made the right choice.

"Thank you."

Zhu Zhuqing uttered two words stiffly. It was obvious that she seldom said thank you. Perhaps it was because no one dared to help her since she was a child.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's cold appearance, Shang An was also quite moved. It is the most fun to train a cold beauty.

He asked, "Where are you going?"

"Leave here." Zhu Zhuqing did not give a direct answer, perhaps because she felt it was unnecessary.

"Go find your fiancé?"

Shang An's words immediately made Zhu Zhuqing's face change.

"Do you know me?"

Shang An looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Of course, you are the second young lady of the Zhu family. That's what the people who are chasing you say."

Hearing that it was the people who were chasing him, Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief and remained silent for a moment.

"Since you know my identity, you should also know that I will cause you a lot of trouble."

Shang An sneered.

"Are you talking about the Zhu family? Or the Xingluo royal family? They are not worthy of causing me trouble."

Zhu Zhuqing's pupils shrank. What a loud tone! But she also had some faith that such a good-looking person would not lie.

"I'm sorry, but I still have to leave."

Even though Shang An has a powerful background, Zhu Zhuqing is not planning to stay. She and Shang An are not related at all, so why should Shang An help her? She is not qualified to ask Shang An to help her.

"Do you really want to meet Dai Mubai?"

Shang An looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a smile.

Zhu Zhuqing fell silent again. It seemed that this person knew a lot.

In fact, it is impossible to say that she really loves Dai Mubai. They have only met each other since childhood, and he ran away from Xingluo just after getting engaged. How can she love such a person?

But she couldn't resist fate, she could only try hard to change her own destiny. Or, in other words, she was unwilling to die, so she tried to reverse her own destiny and find the fiancé who abandoned her.

"Is it because of the family's fate?"

Shang An hit the nail on the head with what Zhu Zhuqing was thinking.

"You are already dead, and your fate has been cut off."

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Zhuqing didn't understand what Shang An meant, but she became alert again and put her body in a defensive posture.

Shang An didn't care about Zhu Zhuqing's little move, and said in a gentle tone: "What I mean is that you are already a dead person in the eyes of your sister, the Zhu family, and even the Xing Luo Empire. Now you can live the way you want."

This time Zhu Zhuqing understood, but she would rather not understand.

"who are you?"

"Let me introduce myself. I am the current Holy Son of the Spirit Hall - Shang An."

Spirit Hall? Zhu Zhuqing suddenly understood. Perhaps only the Spirit Hall had such great power to cover up her tracks and fabricate her life and death.

But her childhood experiences made her never feel that there is any love or hate without reason in this world. You pay in order to gain. Shang An helped her cover up her tracks and fake her death, so he must have some ulterior motive. But what did she have that was worthy of the Spirit Hall's ulterior motive?
Would the person who pulled her out of a quagmire actually drag him into a bigger and deeper quagmire?
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, whose face was uncertain, Shang An said:

"Are you wondering why I helped you?"

Zhu Zhuqing felt a little creepy. Could this person see through people's hearts?

Looking at the faint smile still on Shang An's face, her hair stood on end.

After hesitating for a moment, she asked:
"Yes, I want to know why you are helping me."

"Because you're pretty?"

Shang An casually said something that sounded like a joke.

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but be speechless. This scene was a bit out of place, as if a cold-blooded politician who controlled people's hearts suddenly said that he was attracted by the beauty of a woman.

"It's just a joke, don't take it seriously." Shang An said at the right time.

Zhu Zhuqing also breathed a sigh of relief. If he really wanted her beauty, she really didn't know what to do. Fortunately, it was a joke, but this joke also made her relax a lot, at least not as vigilant as before.

"Brother Shang An, get up and eat."

A sweet female voice came from outside the tent.

The tent was opened, and a woman with rabbit ears appeared in front of Zhu Zhuqing. The woman had long legs and a scorpion braid, and looked about the same age as her. "Okay." Shang An replied, then walked forward and picked up Zhu Zhuqing, "Let's go eat together."

His tone was very flat, just like the daily conversation between acquaintances. Zhu Zhuqing forgot to resist for a moment and was carried out of the tent by Shang An.

"Let me go." Zhu Zhuqing's face turned red when she reacted. She was about to struggle, but she accidentally touched a wound, which made her brows frown in pain.

"Don't move, your injury hasn't healed yet."

Shang An did not do as she wished and forcibly carried her to the picnic mat that Xiao Wu had laid out.

Feeling Shang An's strength, Zhu Zhuqing had to stop struggling.

Xiao Wu took out the prepared fish soup and put it on the mat.

The fish soup was milky white and fragrant, and a few ingredients were added to it, which not only retained the original flavor but also added a bit of freshness and fragrance, which made Zhu Zhuqing, who had been chased all the way without any rest, couldn't help but feel hungry.

"Gu~gu."

Her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment because of her bloated belly.

Shang An scooped a bowl of fish soup and placed it in front of her.

"Eat, you're welcome. Even if I have any plans, it will be after you recover."

Looking at the fish soup in front of her, Zhu Zhuqing decided to eat and drink her fill first. She stretched out her hand to pick up the fish soup, but she didn't hold it firmly and almost spilled it.

During the past few days of pursuit, she had overexerted her arms and lost too much blood, so she no longer had much strength left.

"Let me feed you."

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's appearance, Shang An smiled slightly and picked up the fish soup.

Zhu Zhuqing's face turned even redder. She looked at Xiao Wu beside her, but couldn't ask her for help. After all, what qualifications did she have to ask for so much?

As Shang An handed a spoonful of fish soup to her mouth, the fragrance permeated her nose. She could no longer bear the hunger in her stomach and took a sip of the fish soup.

Phew, it feels so good to be alive.

Looking at Shang An's handsome face so close to me, it seemed that life was not so difficult anymore.

After feeding Zhu Zhuqing two bowls of fish soup, Shang An started to eat on his own. However, it was not known whether he was not paying attention or was too careless, but he used the bowl and spoon he had used to feed Zhu Zhuqing.

This made Zhu Zhuqing blush again.

"By the way, did you apply the medicine?" Zhu Zhuqing suddenly thought of something.

Shang An nodded, "Yes!"

"Where's the bandage?"

"I wrapped it, and I cut your clothes and wiped your body. Don't thank me. I'm just such a good person."

Zhu Zhuqing had a gloomy face and black smoke was about to come out of her head. What kind of bullshit was this? If Shang An was the only one here, she could say that he didn't shy away from the difference between men and women in order to save her, but there was clearly a woman following Shang An.

Her body was exposed and her innocence was completely destroyed by this man.

"why?"

When Shang An heard Zhu Zhuqing's question, he put down the bowl in his hand and turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing. He pinched Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks with his left hand and put his face in front of her.

"Why so many whys? I thought, isn't it okay?"

Shang An's head suddenly moved closer.

uh~
With the taste of fish soup, Shang An tasted the kitten's red lips wantonly.

"like this."

Shang An retracted the invading snake and said with an evil smile.

After saying that, Shang An continued to taste it deeper. Zhu Zhuqing had her face pinched and she couldn't resist. She could only glare at Shang An. But how could Shang An care about these?

After tasting it for a while, Shang An let go of Zhu Zhuqing and looked into her ashamed and angry eyes with a burning gaze.

"Don't ask why, just ask why I want to."

Zhu Zhuqing opened her mouth, but perhaps because she was afraid of Shang An's lips, she didn't dare to say anything, but her eyes became a little colder.

After putting away the table mats and bowls, Shang An carried Zhu Zhuqing to the carriage again, and Xiao Wu followed her in. This time Zhu Zhuqing did not resist, but Shang An did not put Zhu Zhuqing down after he put her on the carriage, and just held her like that.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, but Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but speak.

"Put me down."

Shang An had been holding her all the time. Although she felt very warm, physical contact between men and women was not allowed. Even though Shang An had seen her body, she was unconscious.

"No, the carriage is bumpy and it's easy to rupture the wound. I'd better hold you."

Shang An said with some righteousness.

Seeing that she couldn't resist, Zhu Zhuqing could only enjoy it. Not to mention, Shang An's arms were quite comfortable. It was as if she had returned to her childhood. Lying in her mother's arms, she seemed to have forgotten the pain in her body, and before she knew it, she fell into a deep sleep.

I have been feeling tense these past few days. Even though Shang An is a lustful man, I feel surprisingly safe around him.
