Douluo Continent: Reincarnation of Huo Linfei, Illusory Lin Nebula

Chapter 193 On the Eve of Capturing the King

Listening to Huo Linfei chattering away in her ear, Zhu Zhuqing felt a warmth in her heart.

I miss that kind of nagging so much after not hearing it for an hour or two.

She couldn't help but hug Huo Linfei, pressing her cheek against his chest.

"I'm fine."

Huo Linfei's pupils contracted slightly, his cheeks suddenly flushed, and his body temperature rose rapidly.

He tentatively wrapped his arms around Zhu Zhuqing's slender waist, and sensing that Zhu Zhuqing had no intention of leaving him, he tightened his grip.

"No, it's alright..."

"I never imagined you were under so much pressure."

"I'll go back with you this time and solve your problem once and for all."

Huo Linfei sniffed the fragrance on Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful hair, and a feeling of exhilaration washed over him.

My mood gradually relaxed, just like my flushed face and racing heartbeat gradually returned to normal.

"The Star Luo Empire has a million-strong army and countless powerful warriors..."

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but say.

In her view, even a titled Douluo would be defeated by an empire.

"In my opinion, they are all worthless and not worth worrying about."

"All you need to do is have absolute faith in me, believe that I can handle everything, and believe that I can protect you."

"When the enemy is in my presence, they either flee in terror or suffer a crushing defeat."

Huo Linfei smiled confidently.

"You're always so optimistic. If you only saw the true strength of an empire, you wouldn't think like this." Zhu Zhuqing affectionately hugged Huo Linfei's neck, closed her eyes, and quietly enjoyed the beautiful moment.

Huo Linfei licked his dry lips.

Zhu Zhuqing's sudden action today caught him completely off guard.

Before Huo Linfei crossed over to the Douluo Continent, he had a crush on Tianyu.

Unfortunately, after so many years of transmigrating to the Douluo Continent, things have probably changed beyond recognition.

He's come to terms with it.

He finally got a girlfriend named Shui Bing'er, but now he's acting like a scumbag.

Although he likes pretty girls, he always aspires to be a pure and innocent young man.

"Zhu Qing, you can't judge things by appearances alone. A million-strong army is still just ordinary people at the end of the day. If I stand here and let them attack me, they can't kill me."

"Don't be afraid."

Huo Linfei spoke confidently, comforting Zhu Zhuqing and gently patting her back.

"Don't ride in this broken carriage anymore, ride in my Phantom Blade." Huo Linfei smiled slightly, summoned the Phantom Blade, and affectionately hugged Zhu Zhuqing before turning over and sitting on it.

The Illusionary Qilin Beast that had been closely following Huo Linfei disappeared into nothingness as specks of red light.

"Hey you!"

"Thank you!"

Huo Linfei shouted something to the convoy and then led Zhu Zhuqing soaring into the sky.

"Damn it, what do you mean by 'that guy'?!" Zhu Zhuyun gritted her teeth and glared fiercely in the direction Huo Lin had flown away.

Seeing that everyone was staring at her, she felt a surge of anger.

"Go and find your eldest prince right now!"

"What are you standing there for, like an idiot!"

"A bunch of useless trash, too scared to even lift a finger because of one person. Did the Empire raise you just to eat and do nothing?!"

Looking at those royal knights, Zhu Zhuyun immediately launched into a tirade of abuse.

If we don't criticize now, how can we shift the blame?

Upon receiving Zhu Zhuyun's order, everyone remembered that their eldest prince, Davis, was still nowhere to be found.

--------

Huo Linfei sped through the sky with Zhu Zhuqing at a moderate pace.

Zhu Zhuqing wrapped her arms around Huo Linfei's back and gently pressed her cheek against his back. Although he was wearing armor, she could not feel the coldness.

The sunlight shone on her, warm and comforting, and she had never felt so relaxed.

Huo Linfei sensed something amiss behind him and said, "Zhu Qing, we've known each other for over two years. How can you have no faith in me at all?"

"I said I would protect you and keep you safe, and I will definitely do it."

"Look at you, using the excuse of going to the toilet to sneak out. I thought you had fallen down, so I quickly sent Ning Rongrong and Huo Wu to look for you."

"Now, I think the two of them have started having people turn the toilets upside down looking for you."

Zhu Zhuqing felt somewhat helpless.

This aligns with her imagination of what Huo Linfei is like.

They can come up with anything.

"How could something like what you're describing possibly happen?"

"I'm not stupid."

"By the way, Fei, how did you know where I was?"

"The person who told me, it was your sister, but I've forgotten her name," Huo Linfei explained.

"I see..."

Zhu Zhuqing frowned, then relaxed.

My heart was filled with mixed feelings, and my thoughts were racing.

Currently, there are two possibilities.

First, Zhu Zhuyun wanted to help her because of their sisterly bond.

Secondly, he was afraid that she would affect his status.

"Ah Fei, aren't we going back to Wuhun City?" Zhu Zhuyun glanced at Wuhun City, which was getting farther and farther away and had become a small dot.

"If we go back now, I'm afraid you'll sneak out again. Let's go to your hometown, the Star Luo Empire, and I'll help you solve all your problems," Huo Linfei replied.

"Are you serious?"

"Do you think I'm joking with you? Besides, you just hugged me. I have to take responsibility for you, and you have to take responsibility for me too," Huo Linfei said seriously.

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips and stammered, "It's not that serious, is it?"

"It was just a hug."

"Besides, you hugged me too, so we're even."

--------

The Star Luo Empire, which would normally take a long time to reach by carriage, was reached by Huo Linfei and Zhu Zhuqing in just one day, and they even had time to eat dinner in the city.

"Ah Fei, that city in front is Xingluo City, the capital of the Xingluo Empire. The tall building in the very center is the palace where the Xingluo Emperor lives."

Zhu Zhuqing pointed ahead and said.

"No rush, we can go tomorrow. Let's find a hotel in the city to rest for the night, and then talk to that perverted emperor tomorrow."

Huo Linfei laughed.

"Only you could say something like that, you perverted emperor." Zhu Zhuqing said with a helpless bitter smile.

I'm stating the facts.

Before long, Huanlin Shanchi slowly landed in the center of Xingluo City, and Huolinfei and Zhu Zhuqing rolled off.

"You know this place better, so let's grab something to eat first, then get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow morning, we'll storm the palace, capture the emperor, and he'll be yours to do with as you please!"

Huo Linfei said aggressively.

Upon hearing this, the crowd that had just gathered around stared wide-eyed at Huo Linfei and Zhu Zhuqing in disbelief.

"You idiot, Fei! How can you say things like that in public like that!"

Seeing that things were not going well, Zhu Zhuqing quickly pulled Huo Linfei through the crowd and fled to a distance.
