Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 88 Trouble

The battle lasted from noon until four in the morning.

The moon was bright and the stars were few; Xiao Yi, having recovered from the effects of the medicine, entered a period of spiritual tranquility.

Xiao Yi stared into thought as he looked at the bloodstains on the bed and the sleeping girl.

Zhu Zhuqing was the first to faint because of her low soul power, while Dugu Yan was the second to faint because of her high soul power level and physical strength. Ye Lingling, on the other hand, was a healing-type soul master and fought Xiao Yi to a standstill.

"Tsk, Yanzi, you're putting me in a difficult position," Xiao Yi thought to himself, speechless.

Xiao Yi never imagined that Dugu Yan would use so many drugs to bring him and Ye Lingling together, and even drag Zhu Zhuqing into it. You have to know that Zhu Zhuqing was just brought here by him to train. It was really hard for Xiao Yi to bear to see her being taken advantage of so ambiguously.

However, it's too late to say anything now. What we need to consider now is how to deal with Zhu Zhuqing.

Besides, Xiao Yi isn't the kind of man who abandons someone after he's done with them. Since he's already taken advantage of her, he should treat her well.

However, it's worth mentioning that Zhu Zhuqing is truly voluptuous. It's no wonder she's from the Zhu family of Xingluo. Generations of intermarriages have given them not only a martial soul fusion skill, but also an outrageously good figure.

Meanwhile, in Soto, at the Rose Hotel.

At this moment, Dai Mubai and a pair of twins are playing cards on a hotel bed.

"Achoo!" Suddenly, Dai Mubai sneezed while scratching his head.

"What's wrong, Young Master Dai? Are you feeling unwell?" one of the twins asked.

"It's nothing, I just feel a little itchy on my head, maybe I'm just imagining things."

"Come on, let's continue our battle for another three hundred rounds!"

……

"Sigh, what's done is done, so let's just treat her well. I just don't know if she'll be willing," Xiao Yi thought to himself.

Xiao Yi then rubbed his aching back, got up, and used the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone to recover his condition.

"Hiss, Tang San, your mother's soul bone is really powerful." Xiao Yi also felt the power of the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone after using it.

"Hmph!" A muffled groan interrupted Xiao Yi's thoughts.

Xiao Yi turned around and saw that Zhu Zhu had woken up. He was about to speak, but Zhu Zhu's condition stopped him.

When Zhu Zhu regained consciousness, her eyes were initially dazed, but when she saw the bloodstains on the bed that belonged to her, her eyes reddened.

"Zhu Qing..." Xiao Yi began to explain.

"Don't talk to me, let me have some peace and quiet." Tears welled up in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

She couldn't understand why she belonged to the Zhu family, why she was suppressed by her sister, why Dai Mubai abandoned her, and why she was brought back only to be embroiled in this absurd entanglement.

Then tears streamed down her face, and slowly she began to weep silently.

Suddenly, she burst into tears, as if struck by a sudden thought.

“Wuwu!”

Just then, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were also woken up by Zhu Zhuqing.

"Yi, what's wrong?" Dugu Yan asked sleepily.

"Zhu Qing cried," Xiao Yi explained.

"Huh?" Dugu Yan immediately got up after hearing Zhu Zhuqing cry.

Ye Lingling was then awakened by Zhu Zhuqing's crying.

When the two women got up, they saw Zhu Zhuqing crying very sadly and didn't know what to do for a moment. However, they also knew that Zhu Zhuqing had been dragged into this because of their own selfish desires.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling exchanged a glance for a moment before deciding to comfort Zhu Zhuqing.

"Zhuqing... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. This accident happened because Lingling likes Xiao Yi but didn't dare to express it, so I drugged her. I didn't expect Xiao Yi to bring you back this time." Dugu Yan said softly.

Dugu Yan was filled with regret. Why didn't she check how many people were coming back before putting the dishes on the table? Before she could stop him, Xiao Yi had already eaten the food. Besides, this little girl was someone Xiao Yi had saved.

"What's going on?" Dugu Yan asked Xiao Yi telepathically.

Xiao Yi then explained Zhu Zhuqing's background to Dugu Yan.

"She is from the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire and is engaged to the blond guy who flirted with you last time. When I met her, she was being chased by her sister. Isn't the rule of the Star Luo Empire that princes and princesses fight each other to decide the succession of the next generation? And her fiancé, that blond guy, is named Dai Mubai. He ran away when she was nine years old, leaving her, a girl, all alone in the Star Luo Empire."

"Even though she was isolated and helpless, she did not give up and kept trying to find out about her fiancé. She recently received information that her fiancé was studying at Shrek Academy in Soto City and was spending his days indulging in pleasure and womanizing."

"But she didn't believe it, so she ran away from the Duke of Youming's mansion to find her fiancé to confirm whether the information was true. Then her sister found out and chased her to the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, where I happened to meet her and saved her."

"We met at Shrek Academy before, and you know what kind of people they are."

"After she was rescued, she told me that she wanted to go see Dai Mubai to see if he was really like what the intelligence said. As a result, when she arrived in Soto City, she ran into Dai Mubai with two twins."

"After seeing that Dai Mubai had indeed forgotten their engagement and given up on himself, just as the intelligence said, she also gave up hope on Dai Mubai and decided to come back with me."

"If I hadn't saved her, she might have forgiven Dai Mubai, and because of her Martial Soul Fusion Skill, her mindset would have gradually shifted towards Dai Mubai."

"And when I met her, her first reaction was to tell me to run away. In addition, Shrek Academy was misleading students and Dai Mubai's character made me decide to bring her back to train her. As a result, I got dragged into this," Xiao Yi transmitted his voice.

After hearing this, Dugu Yan felt that she had really messed things up this time, and she regretted her previous decision.

"What should we do now?" Dugu Yan asked telepathically.

"The current situation is that I've slept with her, but she won't talk to me anymore. Let's see what you and Lingling say," Xiao Yi replied.

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he left the room, leaving the three girls to talk.

After Xiao Yi left the room, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling tried to approach Zhu Zhuqing, but fortunately, Zhu Zhuqing did not avoid them.

"Zhuqing, I'm sorry. I didn't know things would turn out this way. Yi has already told me about you, and I understand how you feel right now. But what's done is done, and there's no way to change it. What I can tell you is that Yi isn't the kind of person who abandons someone after the fact. Since things have already happened, Yi will definitely treat you well. Although Yi isn't good with words, he's very caring. He will never be a scumbag like your fiancé. I, Dugu Yan, can guarantee that." Dugu Yan comforted her softly.

"Yanzi is serious. From the time I met Xiao Yi until now, he has never done anything to betray Yanzi," Ye Lingling echoed.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing gradually stopped crying, but her reddened eyes indicated that she was not in a very good mood.

"Can you tell me about him?" Zhu Zhuqing asked, her voice choked with emotion.
