Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 24 My name is Yun Ming

Inside Zhu Zhuqing's bedroom.

The aroma of the food in Sister Hong's hands sent a surge of intense hunger through Zhu Zhuqing. During their two-day journey through the Star Dou Great Forest, Zhu Zhuqing was still asleep, and Yun Ming could only feed her some soul beast milk, which often leaked out with every spoonful. Of course, she was hungry now.

Zhu Zhuqing struggled to get out of bed, but she had lost too much blood and hadn't eaten much in the past two days, so she was too weak to even break free from the weight of the blankets. Seeing Zhu Zhuqing trying to get up, Sister Hong went to help her.

With Sister Hong's help, Zhu Zhuqing finally sat up. Sister Hong saw Zhu Zhuqing looking at the tray and knew she was hungry, so she placed the tray on the bedside table with a bowl of porridge and a few side dishes on it, and said with a smile.

"Miss Zhu, please eat first!"

As he spoke, he picked up the bowl of porridge, preparing to feed the child.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the bowl of oily porridge in front of her, and without being picky, followed her survival instincts and ate it.

After swallowing a mouthful of porridge, Zhu Zhuqing soon felt a warm current flowing through her body. Looking at the porridge in front of her with some surprise, she asked aloud.

"This is?"

When Sister Hong heard Zhu Zhuqing's question, she followed her gaze and saw the bowl in her hand. She then gestured with it towards Zhu Zhuqing.

"You mean this, Miss?"

"There is some soul beast meat and nourishing medicinal herbs inside."

Upon hearing Hong Jie's reply, Zhu Zhuqing turned her gaze to the door, her eyes filled with even more wariness. Normally, even if Yun Ming had only prepared a simple bowl of plain porridge and side dishes, Zhu Zhuqing would have found it perfectly normal and wouldn't have complained. However, the fact that Yun Ming had prepared such a nourishing porridge made Zhu Zhuqing even more unsure whether the person in front of her was truly kind or had ulterior motives.

Hongjie didn't understand Zhu Zhuqing's gaze and continued feeding her porridge.

Just as Zhu Zhuqing was eating and thinking about these things, she suddenly smelled a delicious aroma wafting from outside.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't think much of it at first, but the more she smelled it, the more she felt that the smell outside was somewhat similar to her bowl of porridge, so she asked Sister Hong.

"What did he eat?"

Sister Hong replied.

"Young Master Yun ate Nine-Bend Carp and Ginseng Soup and Fried Golden-Winged Eagle."

Zhu Zhuqing seemed thoughtful. "Is that so?" Thinking of the two dishes Hongjie had mentioned, and then looking at the porridge in front of her, Zhu Zhuqing finally understood why the person outside had prepared such a bowl of porridge. It seemed their standard of living was already high; her porridge was just an extra.

Having learned all this, Zhu Zhuqing felt more at ease drinking her porridge. However, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. What was going on? Had she grown up again? Zhu Zhuqing couldn't figure it out for a moment.

Zhu Zhuqing quickly finished her porridge. After helping Zhu Zhuqing with a series of tasks, Sister Hong took her leave of Yun Ming. Yun Ming was very satisfied with Sister Hong's meticulous and patient work. He immediately paid her for the day's work; Yun Ming's payment was one gold soul coin per day, settled daily. Sister Hong was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and left the suite.

In Douluo Continent, gold soul coins have considerable purchasing power. While for a powerful clan like Yun Ming's (excluding the Min clan), a few gold soul coins might not seem like much—for example, Yun Ming spent one hundred gold soul coins on dinner—for ordinary people, one gold soul coin is enough to support a family for several months. Therefore, the task arranged by Yun Ming was nothing short of a windfall for Sister Hong.

Of course, among the Nth generation of Soul Masters, Yun Ming is considered relatively wealthy. The reason, of course, is because he has a rich maternal grandfather, Yang Wudi! The Breaking Clan, as a renowned pharmaceutical family on the continent, has truly experienced hardship and suffering, but never poverty. And Yang Wudi is a top-tier pharmaceutical and poison master on the continent, making money incredibly easy for him! Unlike the Shrek Academy group of 'talented' teachers, all of whom are above Soul Emperor level, it's quite bizarre that they're still so poor!

A quarter of an hour later, Yun Ming finished his dinner. Just as Yun Ming finished tidying up and was preparing to begin his meditation practice for the day, he heard Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice coming from the inner room.

"Have you rested?"

When Yun Ming heard Zhu Zhuqing's call, he went into Zhu Zhuqing's bedroom and saw Zhu Zhuqing leaning against the headboard, staring at him with her big eyes.

Previously, Yun Ming had been sitting in a place where the moonlight did not reach, so Zhu Zhuqing had not seen Yun Ming's face. It was not until Yun Ming entered the room this time that Zhu Zhuqing finally saw his appearance.

He was a handsome young man dressed in a white brocade robe, with a refined and gentle demeanor. He had long eyelashes, a straight nose, and eyes that shone like stars, which momentarily stunned Zhu Zhuqing.

When Yun Ming saw Zhu Zhuqing, he was momentarily stunned, but he smiled and spoke gently.

"What's wrong, Miss Zhu?"

"Does my appearance surprise you?"

Hearing Yun Ming's question, Zhu Zhuqing snapped out of her daze, her face flushing slightly. She felt incredibly embarrassed. Zhu Zhuqing turned her head away, a little flustered, her usually cool voice now tinged with gratitude.

"Thank you~"

Although Zhu Zhuqing didn't completely trust Yun Ming, given the current situation, Yun Ming had been helping her and had never had any real ulterior motives towards her, so it was only right to express her gratitude.

Zhu Zhuqing's voice wasn't loud, but Yun Ming heard it clearly. Yun Ming smiled slightly and responded gently.

"You're welcome!"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's hesitant expression, Yun Ming continued.

"What's wrong?"

Upon hearing Yun Ming's question, Zhu Zhuqing's expression finally hardened, and she asked again.

"Can you tell me what you meant by Zhu Zhuyun letting me leave?"

Yun Ming understood Zhu Zhuqing's eagerness, but he didn't intend to tell her now. He said to Zhu Zhuqing.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Can."

However, before Zhu Zhuqing could be happy, Yun Ming continued.

"But not now, maybe a week from now! Or..."

"You can also think about it yourself; you definitely spend more time with your sister than I do."

"What I can see, you can see too."

The reason you haven't realized it is simply because you're trapped by your old way of thinking!

Hearing Yun Ming's words, Zhu Zhuqing fell into deep thought. Seeing this, Yun Ming came to Zhu Zhuqing's bedside, helped her lie down again. Although Zhu Zhuqing was a little confused and stiffened at first, she didn't resist, just looked at him with a puzzled expression, as if to say, "What are you doing?" Yun Ming understood her gaze and explained.

"Your back injury makes it difficult for you to sit for long periods. Why don't you lie down and think about it slowly?"

After saying that, she turned off the bedroom light, and the moonlight reappeared. Just as Yun Ming was about to leave the bedroom, he heard Zhu Zhuqing speak again.

My name is Zhu Zhuqing.

Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's self-introduction, Yun Ming paused, turned around, and spoke to her.

"My name is Yun Ming."

After saying that, he walked out of the bedroom, saying one last thing before closing the door.

"Good night!"

"Bang!"

Zhu Zhuqing turned her head to look at the moon outside the window and whispered.

"Yunming~?"
