The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 291 Zhu Zhuqing is an honest person

The spacious living room became somewhat quiet for a moment.

Dugu Yan was no longer as straightforward as usual; her eyes darted around, much like Zhu Zhuqing's.

Isn't this just typical empty talk?

Li Xun smiled as soon as he saw it, and without saying anything more, he walked straight to the middle of the two women and sat down.

"Rongrong, how is she?" Zhu Zhuqing's heart was filled with complicated emotions, and she shifted her body uneasily.

Although this was expected, Zhu Zhuqing still felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

Logically speaking, given her upbringing, she should have been open-minded. However, when things actually happened to her, she found that she wasn't as strong and selfless as she had imagined.

Was it because life was too comfortable that she became greedy? Zhu Zhuqing pondered to herself.

"Rongrong is fine, just a little tired."

Li Xun collapsed onto Zhu Zhuqing's lap: "But she probably won't be coming out tonight."

Zhu Zhuqing shuddered, but did not dodge.

Li Xun turned his head and looked through Zhu Zhuqing's breasts into her eyes.

He had planned to win over Ning Rongrong first, but when it actually happened, he felt somewhat indebted to Zhu Zhuqing.

Compared to Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing was too quiet. Since arriving in Tiandou, she had always followed behind him and had never caused trouble for anyone.

Their personality is also relatively calm.

If she had approached Zhu Zhuqing first, Ning Rongrong would have thrown a tantrum long ago, given her personality.

Noticing Li Xun's gaze, Zhu Zhuqing reacted as if she had been electrocuted and quickly looked away: "You haven't eaten anything yet, have you? I'll go get you something to eat."

After saying that, he prepared to help Li Xun up, but unexpectedly, he grabbed her waist instead.

"Let me take a nap, there's a fierce battle to fight tonight," Li Xun said, finding a comfortable spot and closing his eyes contentedly.

Once things begin, a decision must be made decisively. If one person is allowed to overthink things, unexpected situations can easily arise.

If he hadn't felt it might be unfair to Zhu Zhuqing, he probably would have taken action by now.

Another fierce battle is about to begin? Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment.

Are you planning to go see Ning Rongrong again tonight? Or...?

In an instant, Zhu Zhuqing's mind raced with thoughts, her heart pounded involuntarily, and she felt both shy and repulsed.

Zhu Zhuqing immediately felt uneasy and shifted her body slightly, but considering that Li Xun was lying on her lap, she forcibly restrained herself from making any large movements.

Time ticked by, and Dugu Yan, who had been pretending to be an ostrich, could no longer sit still.

She stole a glance at Li Xun, then carefully stood up from the sofa, trying not to make a sound.

She had always thought she was the bravest of the three, but when she heard the commotion last night, she realized she was wrong.

Although I had some vague knowledge about matters between men and women, the sounds Ning Rongrong made yesterday were terrifying. I don't think I've ever heard anything like that even during the incredibly difficult God Exam.

Dugu Yan suddenly felt that the bottle of medicine her grandfather had given her was a bit too hot to handle; it seemed that she had been thinking too simply about matters between men and women.

Hearing the noise, Li Xun slightly opened his eyes, glanced at it, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Past cases have shown that honest people are easy to bully.

Li Xun slept for an hour.

Perhaps due to the significant impact, Zhu Zhuqing was still in a state of confusion until Li Xun's hands gradually became more unrestrained, which brought her back to her senses.

"I'll go prepare some food," Zhu Zhuqing said, struggling to help Li Xun up before fleeing as if her life depended on it.

Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong did not appear at lunchtime, and Zhu Zhuqing did not have much of an appetite. She ate a little and returned to her room.

Li Xun was left alone to feast and make up for the energy he had lost earlier.

In the room

Zhu Zhuqing curled up on the sofa, her mind in turmoil. She was both afraid that Li Xun wouldn't come to find her, and afraid that he would actually come.

At this moment, she couldn't help but think of her mother's teachings from her childhood: "I already had expectations in my heart, so why can't I calm down now?"

"Besides, Brother Li Xun isn't the kind of person who would let frivolous pursuits ruin his career."

The clock ticked away, and time passed second by second.

Zhu Zhuqing, however, felt for some reason that each day was like an eternity.

One hour, two hours passed, but the expected arrival did not occur.

As Zhu Zhuqing's inner turmoil gradually dissipated, a faint sense of loss returned: "Could it be that Brother Li Xun didn't mean it that way? Or was he angry because I walked too fast earlier?"

Li Xun looked at Zhu Zhuqing's tightly closed door, pushed it with his hand, and found that it was locked.

As a law-abiding, normal person, Li Xun gently knocked on the door: "Zhu Qing, open the door, I need to talk to you."

The sound entered the room through the door, but it did not elicit any response. Helpless, Li Xun had no choice but to add a wisp of soul power: "Zhu Qing, this is truly important business."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Yoshihisa

Perhaps knowing that this couldn't go on, or perhaps fearing that Li Xun really had something important to do, Zhu Zhuqing clutched her chest and slowly opened the door a crack.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's cautious expression through the crack in the door, Li Xun smiled, then blocked the door and slipped into the room amidst her exclamation.

Zhu Zhuqing was startled, knowing full well what was about to happen, and quickly retreated, saying, "Brother Li Xun, didn't you say you had important matters to discuss?"

Hearing these stammering words, Li Xun locked the door behind him: "Come on, let's go inside and talk."

"Brother Li Xun, let's talk here." Zhu Zhuqing clutched her chest, trying to calm her racing heart.

"Who talks about serious matters in front of the bedroom door? Come on, wait for me on the bed." Li Xun familiarly took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack by the door.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing felt her heart pounding in her chest. Her mind went completely blank for a moment, and she walked to the bedside in a daze.

Just stand there.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Let me check you out."

Seeing this, Li Xun stepped forward with concern and helped Zhu Zhuqing examine her carefully.

Feeling the burning heat from her arm, Zhu Zhuqing trembled, her legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the bed: "I'm fine."

He felt short of breath, his chest heaving as he gasped for air: "Brother Li Xun, you haven't gotten to the point yet."

"Nothing is more important than your health. Let me check you first, so you don't get sick again." Li Xun touched Zhu Zhuqing's forehead with the back of his hand to check her temperature.

"Your temperature is a little high. It's so hot in this room, and you're wearing so many layers. You'll easily catch a cold if you go outside and get chilled in the wind."

After saying that, Li Xun attentively helped Zhu Zhuqing take off her thick outer garment.

Zhu Zhuqing clutched her inner garment tightly: "Don't you...don't you have important matters to discuss?"

"What could be more important than your health?" Li Xun lifted Zhu Zhuqing's slender legs, removed her shoes and socks, and then gently placed them on the bed.

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing was still sitting there blankly, Li Xun slapped her on the bottom: "Move over a bit, you've squeezed me so much that there's no room for me to sit."

Knowing she couldn't escape, Zhu Zhuqing buried her head in the blanket, feeling the tingling sensation on her buttocks, and trembled all over.

Hearing the rustling sound of clothes being undressed, he asked in a muffled voice through the blanket, "Brother Li Xun, can we talk about serious matters now?"

"Isn't this the important thing?" Li Xun threw off the covers and crawled inside.
