Douluo Continent: My Sharingan is a bit unorthodox

The anger and shame from before seemed to have faded considerably... Her eyes rippled with tears... She quietly watched Ye Qiu wipe her legs...

"Mmm..." She gritted her teeth, refusing to make a sound... Her body flushed an unnatural red, as if scalded...

This time, Ye Qiu was experienced and dressed smoothly without needing any guidance!

Chapter 37 I need you

On the outskirts of the Starry Sky Forest, in a clearing surrounded by trees, a fire was lit.

Zhu Zhuqing was sitting on the ground, leaning against a tree trunk. She no longer looked haggard as before, but instead appeared aloof, even indifferent.

Leaning against the tree, she couldn't help but look in Ye Qiu's direction when he wasn't looking.

He was holding a skewer of beef, roasting it over the fire.

He glanced at Zhu Zhuqing beside him and never expected that the person he had saved would become one of the Shrek Seven Devils, and even become the second-level god, the God of Speed.

Thinking of the Shrek Seven Devils, Ye Qiu couldn't help but think of that silly rabbit again. Although they hadn't been apart for long, the sudden quiet around him made him feel a little uneasy...

The fireworks seemed to reveal Xiao Wu's fierce face, and Ye Qiu also showed a gentle smile.

The aroma of roasting meat filled the air, and golden drops of oil sizzled as they dripped onto the fire...

"Alright! Let it cool down a bit before you eat..." Ye Qiu handed over the grilled meat. "By the way, I don't think I need to feed you this time, right?"

"No need, I can still move my arms after a whole day." She took the grilled meat Ye Qiu handed her, her lips slightly upturned, and she blew on it to cool it down.

"That's good!" Ye Qiu planted the meat in the ground and lay down on the grass. The Blue Silver Emperor that Ye Qiu had released playfully touched his cheek.

A day has passed since the deaths of Canbao and the others. During this time, Ye Qiu has begun searching for soul beasts, but he still hasn't found any that he's satisfied with.

The Star Dou Great Forest was so vast that even searching it with his Sharingan would take him quite a while.

Soul beasts that are only one or two thousand years old are far from reaching the current limit of his Sharingan. Ye Qiu speculates that his abilities should be able to control soul beasts that are over three thousand years old! It's just that getting them to obediently sacrifice themselves might be a bit risky.

Just like Sato before, when faced with the threat of death, they often have an extremely strong will to live.

'It's a pity that I have so few attack methods, and I've run out of gunpowder... Sigh!' Ye Qiu felt regretful about this.

A cold voice came.

"What...what were you thinking about just now?" Zhu Zhuqing's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about what kind of soul beast I should find."

Zhu Zhuqing seemed a little nervous, picking at shredded beef with her fingers and putting it into her mouth, her eyes lowered. "I mean, when you laughed just now, were you... thinking of someone?"

"Huh?" Ye Qiu was taken aback, not understanding why she would ask such a question.

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just noticed you rarely smile... so I was just curious." She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and then immediately looked away.

Ye Qiu gave her a strange look, put his hands behind his head, and said leisurely, "Well... I guess you could call me a person!"

"Consider it?" What kind of answer is that? Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes at him and then fell silent.

Once the meat was almost dry, Ye Qiu picked it up and began to devour it...

"Can you help me become stronger?" After a moment of silence, Zhu Zhuqing's voice turned cold once again.

"Huh?" Ye Qiu quickly swallowed the beef in his mouth, looked at her in surprise, and pointed at himself: "I'm just a commoner. As the second young lady of the Zhu family, don't you have much more resources than me? Why do you need my help?"

"What I mean is, you help me hunt souls! Even a Soul Master can't do anything to you, so hunting a hundred-year-old soul beast shouldn't be too difficult for you, right? I can pay you a reward!"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at him intently, waiting for his reply.

"Help you? And there's a reward?" Ye Qiu's eyes lit up when he heard her words!

In Douluo Continent, the most common way to hunt souls is in a team. When cooperating as a team, not only can the efficiency of hunting souls be improved, but it can also often lead to victory against stronger opponents.

Although there is no gunpowder now, doesn't he have a living teammate by his side?

Ye Qiu tore off a piece of beef, chewing it with relish, his eyes scanning Zhu Zhuqing back and forth.

"What are you looking at! I may have promised you a reward, but that doesn't mean you can have those filthy thoughts." Zhu Zhuqing covered her chest and looked at him cautiously.

"Cough cough... What are you thinking?" Ye Qiu almost choked on the meat, casually tossing away the roasted meat in his hand and squatting down in front of her.

Looking directly into her eyes, Zhu Zhuqing asked, her gaze darting away. "What...what are you going to do?"

He placed his hands on her shoulders and said, "I need you!"

"Ah, do...do you need me!?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at him blankly, her face showing some panic. She didn't know what he meant. Wasn't she the one who asked him for help first?

"I need your help, or rather, let's help each other!"

"Help each other? I'm injured now, how can I help you?" He pushed Ye Qiu's hand away.

"I'll help you obtain the second ring of the Thousand-Year Soul! In return, you help me hunt down a Soul Beast that is over three thousand years old, how about it?" Ye Qiu bluntly stated his request.

"Are you out of your mind? Leaving aside whether I can even help, I've never even heard of..."

"You've never heard of a second ring that's a thousand years old?" Ye Qiu picked up on her words after she gave him a strange look.

Sometimes, facts speak louder than words!

Ye Qiu activated his Martial Soul, and a purple light rose from beneath his feet.

"This...how could this be...how is this possible!" Zhu Zhuqing opened her mouth, somewhat incoherent, staring at him in shock...her eyes filled with that purple hue.

Ye Qiu leaned close to her, pinched her chin, and spoke in a voice that seemed to possess a magical allure, "Don't you want to become stronger? Once you obtain the second purple ring, your soul power will definitely increase by leaps and bounds, and you'll be able to reduce so much of your arduous training~"

He thought she would agree without hesitation, but instead she froze, staring intently at the bloodshot in Ye Qiu's eyes... her lips slightly parted...

"You're going to agree!" Ye Qiu was overjoyed to see her reaction.

However, the voice he was expecting did not sound; instead, Zhu Zhuqing's face continued to grow larger in his eyes.

*Poof!* Ye Qiu's body trembled, and his eyes lost focus...

A cool sensation came over her lips, and a slippery feeling appeared in her mouth. She cupped his face in her hands, and her eyes were filled with tears.

'This is...!' Ye Qiu froze on the spot, his soul power stopped circulating, and the Sharingan in his eyes slowly faded away...

……

A moment later, Zhu Zhuqing's body temperature slowly returned to normal, her eyes regained their clarity, her pupils dilated, and the two stared at each other.

A blush rose to her cheeks, and with a glare in her almond-shaped eyes, she pushed Ye Qiu away.

Ye Qiu lay on the ground, savoring the lingering, peculiar feeling, lost in thought for a long time.

Zhu Zhuqing covered her mouth, her small chest heaving, her earlobes practically dripping blood! She had actually...

He glared at Ye Qiu with hatred, wishing he could cut off his own tongue.

Suddenly it became quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind.

A withered leaf fell from the tree and landed on Ye Qiu's forehead. He shuddered and then came to his senses.

"I'm so sorry..." He hurriedly stood up and apologized to Zhu Zhuqing, but he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"I agreed!"

"what?"

Looking at him coldly, Zhu Zhuqing said again, "I said, I agree to help each other!" Her voice was also cold.

"That's great!" Ye Qiu first punched his fist, then explained to her, "Just now... just now I..."

"Enough! It was just an accident, I don't want to talk about it anymore..." Her small hands were clenched so tightly they turned white. "If you dare to tell anyone what happened between us, I will definitely kill you! I definitely will!"

She glared fiercely at Ye Qiu, her words resolute. Even though she felt a little uneasy, her status required her to abandon such unrealistic thoughts!

Ye Qiu calmed down as well. He wasn't quite sure what she was thinking, but he understood that she really didn't want to bring it up again.

"Okay! Don't worry, I'll keep all this to myself."

"Hmm...!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded, her eyes dimming slightly.

Chapter 38 Be Strong

Ye Qiu turned around and wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth.

"What do I need to do to absorb the millennium soul ring?" Shaking off her displeasure, Zhu Zhuqing now only wanted to become stronger.

"Aren't you going to ask if there are any risks?" He extinguished the fire and looked at her.

"These risks are nothing compared to survival!" she said coldly, even slowly using the tree trunk as support to stand up with her right leg. "As long as I can become stronger, I'm willing to endure any amount of suffering!"

"I see!" Ye Qiu fell silent. This girl was indeed just like in the original story—diligent in cultivation and resolute in character! The one with the worst talent but the most hardworking...

Holding the Blue Silver Emperor in his arms, a six-pointed star appeared in his eyes, and the Iron-Hoofed Horse, which he hadn't ridden in a long time, appeared in front of Ye Qiu.

"Here, help me hold it." He handed her the flowerpot containing the Blue Silver Emperor.

He then picked her up, and Zhu Zhuqing, caught off guard, exclaimed, "Ah~ What are you doing?"

"It's nothing, you're having trouble walking like this... Here, you can ride!" Ye Qiu placed her on the horse's back and answered her question casually. "Absorbing the soul ring, you don't need to prepare anything, just focus on healing your injuries!"

Ye Qiu led the way, holding the reins, while Zhu Zhuqing rode on horseback, carrying the Blue Silver Emperor in her arms... and so they slowly made their way through the forest.

With Ye Qiu's Sharingan as a means of reconnaissance, many soul beasts can be avoided in advance.

Watching Ye Qiu's retreating figure, Zhu Zhuqing hugged the Blue Silver Emperor tightly, lost in thought.
