Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 87 Zhu Zhuqing

If that were all, the three of them would only glance at it at most, after all, they had seen quite a lot in the past year.

The real reason the three stopped in their tracks was not anything else, but the numerous wounds on the girl's body, which clearly indicated that she had been chased.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Li couldn't help but frown, and immediately wanted to pull the two people away.

Similar scenarios have occurred at least three times since they entered Xingluo.

They all saved people or something, but instead of receiving any reward, they were targeted by others.

One of the enemies even had a very powerful background, which led to all three of them being wanted in that small area.

If the three of them hadn't been disguised, they probably would have run into real trouble.

Just as Jiang Li was about to leave, Ye Lingling sighed and spoke with a pleading tone.

"Jiang Li, I know this might cause us trouble, but doctors have a compassionate heart. Right now, his injuries are right in front of us. If we don't do anything, we can imagine what will happen to him."

"We'll go to the inn and get her a room so I can give her some basic medical treatment. We'll leave as soon as it's light out. She should be awake by then, and since she's currently unconscious, she won't see us and won't cause us any trouble."

At this point, Ye Lingling paused for a moment before quickly explaining.

Faced with Ye Lingling's suggestion, Jiang Li remained silent for a long time before finally nodding helplessly.

Because what Ye Lingling said was true. It's normal for doctors to have a compassionate heart, otherwise they wouldn't have encountered that situation.

Ye Lingling's suggestion was simply to be true to herself, which is why Jiang Li risked getting into trouble by taking her to an inn.

Before entering to treat him, Jiang Li specially put on another layer of disguise for the two of them.

Judging from the injuries, Jiang Li could roughly tell that the possibility of this woman waking up midway was almost zero.

But it's always best to be prepared.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Lingling treated the black-clad girl who was in a coma due to serious injuries, and then applied some herbal medicine.

He was already covered in sweat, and Jiang Li handed him a towel at the right time.

After accepting the thanks, Ye Lingling left some of the remaining herbs for her. She glanced at the girl in black with a hint of reluctance before steeling her heart and turning to leave.

After all, she knew that good intentions don't always guarantee good results, and all she wanted was to be true to herself.

Just after Jiang Li and Ye Lingling left, the girl in black slowly opened her eyes, looked at the herbs left for him by the bed, and cast an endless look of gratitude toward the door.

But she also knew that if she took the initiative to thank these people, she would have nothing else to offer at the moment.

It might even cause trouble for the two of them.

So this was the only way she could do it.

The next day, when Jiang Li was about to leave, he suddenly slowed down and, under the pretense that he had dropped something, discreetly threw a stone next to the inn.

After the three of them had completely left the place, a girl in black slowly walked out of the inn. Looking at the note that Jiang Li had deliberately left under the stone, she couldn't help but slowly open it, only to see that it read...

"Hello, judging from your aura, you should be the woman from last night. We treated you only because one of my partners is a healer, nothing more. Whether you followed us to remember our faces to repay us or for some other purpose, don't follow us any further, or you will die!"

After reading the note in her hand, the girl in black couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

She had initially intended to meet him, but she hadn't expected that Jiang Li would discover her while she was hiding in the shadows. After folding and putting away Jiang Li's note and bowing in the direction he had left, she couldn't help but murmur to herself.

"I'm sorry, kind people, but if I can beat them in the future... I will repay your life-saving act today with everything I have."

Then, with a hint of guilt, the girl walked in the opposite direction from Jiang Li.

It was this small gesture that made Jiang Li, who hadn't walked far, nod slightly. At least this woman hadn't followed them and caused him any trouble, so the rescue was worthwhile.

Then, the three of them rented a horse-drawn carriage and prepared to start their return journey.

A few days later, as the three of them were passing through a dense forest, Jiang Li sensed the sounds of soul masters fighting in the distance.

This prompted Jiang Li to immediately tell the carriage driver to stop and not move, so he could get out and explore the area.

As for why Jiang Li didn't just tell the carriage driver to turn around and leave?

Of course, he had tried this behavior before. Generally speaking, if a Soul Master who has fought in the dense forest discovers that a carriage has suddenly turned around nearby, it is impossible not to be suspicious. Most of them would choose to send someone to chase after it.

On one occasion, Jiang Li encountered a Soul Emperor who came to kill him, and it took Jiang Li a lot of effort to barely get rid of him.

Therefore, the best option at this moment is naturally to have the two of them stop so he can go and check on them.

After concealing his presence, Jiang Li arrived at a distance of six or seven kilometers from the scene of the incident. He then quietly activated his Blue Silver Domain, intending to first assess the strength of the person ahead.

Three Soul Masters and five Great Soul Masters are besieging a person whose strength is at the Great Soul Master level.

However, after sensing this person's aura, Jiang Li couldn't help but frown deeply.

Because this person was none other than the girl Ye Lingling had tried to save just two days ago.

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

In an instant, Jiang Li thought of countless possibilities, such as the other party following them and wanting to see if he could play the hero and save the damsel in distress.

Jiang Li had witnessed similar plot developments during the past year, so he immediately sneered and intended to ignore the matter.

However, after realizing that the girl's martial soul was actually the Netherworld Cat, Jiang Li couldn't help but feel a strange emotion rising in his eyes.

A Great Soul Master level, possessing the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul, and conveniently located near the Star Luo Imperial City.

After a brief recollection, Jiang Li was able to determine the identity of the girl in black with a high degree of certainty. Based on the current timeline, this was probably Zhu Zhuqing.

If it were her, then the fact that a fight would break out in this dense forest certainly doesn't seem like she's following me.

Because in the original story, almost two years have passed since Dai Mubai fled the Star Luo Empire two years ago.

This woman, wanting to see what her so-called fiancé was like, also left the Star Luo Empire and went to Shrek Academy.

The result was that she saw her fiancé indulging in women. If the two hadn't shared a common goal of defeating him, one can imagine how Zhu Zhuqing would have felt at that time.

After all, the pressure she had to bear during the two years that Dai Mubai had been away was unimaginable.

Moreover, this one is also a rare normal person among the Shrek Seven Devils.

As Jiang Li pondered this, Zhu Zhuqing on the other side also felt the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable. Just as she was about to be captured, the others couldn't help but start mocking her.

"Second Miss, please don't make things difficult for us!"

"That's right, we're rough men. We've already gone through that a few days ago. If you still don't want to surrender, don't blame us for using some different methods. After all, Miss Zhuyun's order is just to bring you back alive."

"..."

As they spoke, a naked greedy look appeared in their eyes.

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze turned icy, and she had no desire to speak with these people whatsoever.

This further enraged the leading Soul Master, who immediately wanted to capture Zhu Zhuqing.

A sharp, dark golden light pierced through the Soul Master's body in an instant...
