The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 34 Above the Sky

"My eldest sister's soul power should also be around level 40."

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, crossed her arms, and murmured.

"Then you shouldn't die."

"If I were your older sister, I would have killed you long ago. In terms of both power and strength, you would have no chance of escaping."

Li Xun squatted down, picked up a twig from the ground, and drew a rough map: "Judging from how I saved you in Longxing City, you must have been chased all the way from the capital of Xingluo to here, right? You can calculate how many times you escaped along the way."

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly looked at Li Xun, her eyes gradually brightening. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Li Xun... Brother, are you saying that Sister wants to drive me out of the Star Luo Empire?"

Li Xun nodded: "Very likely, otherwise, given your current level and age, there's no reason you could have survived."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing trembled, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

She, who should have been in despair, suddenly discovered that she might be the one being protected.

Once this idea popped into my mind, it was like a lifeline, impossible to shake off.

And I kept telling her that it must be like that.

Zhu Zhuqing really wanted to have a good cry to release the bitterness and distress she had been holding in for so long.

Li Xun slowly stood up, walked to Zhu Zhuqing, patted her head, and comforted her, "Is there anything else you don't understand?"

"But...I...I'm still a little scared..." Zhu Zhuqing said, tears streaming down her face, her voice choked with sobs.

"It's alright. You can come with me to Tiandou first. Even the Star Luo Royal Family will have to be somewhat cautious there."

Li Xun smiled, took off his cotton coat, draped it over Zhu Zhuqing, and then helped her slowly step onto the flying sword: "As for that Dai Mubai, I reckon you'll be safe once he's dead."

Sword Douluo stood on his flying sword, watching all this, and felt his eyelids twitching.

He felt that agreeing to rehearse lines with Li Xun was a mistake.

……

The boundless sky is empty and lonely.

The addition of a flying sword, however, added a different kind of color to this desolation.

On the flying sword, Sword Douluo was looking at Li Xun with a strange expression.

He felt that the reason this kid rescued Zhu Zhuqing was because he wanted to find someone who could shield him from the wind on his flying sword.

If Li Xun knew that Sword Douluo thought this way about him, he would definitely cry out that he was wronged.

Even if Zhu Zhuqing didn't need his help, she definitely wouldn't die.

But knowing that the other party would join Shrek Academy, become Tang San's henchman, and Dai Mubai's accessory, he no longer tried to stop him.

Isn't that aiding the enemy?

What did Sword Douluo take him for?

Li Xun tightened his embrace around Zhu Zhuqing's waist, bringing the two closer together.

It wasn't that Li Xun was being indecent, but being at such a height was unsafe and a bit cold.

The only cotton-padded coat was given to Zhu Zhuqing to wear.

He was wearing only a thin layer of clothing.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhuqing had a slender waist, so it was effortless for her to hug him. The two of them were able to generate a little warmth when they were close together.

However, Zhu Zhuqing kept twisting and turning for some reason. This bothered Li Xun, who could clearly feel the roundness in his lower abdomen.

Li Xun had considered wearing a cotton-padded coat and standing in front.

Sword Douluo is a man of pure and untainted nature. He can bear to suffer some grievances himself, but he cannot let his grandfather's reputation be tarnished because of a girl.

Zhu Zhuqing felt very hot. Despite being in such a cold place high in the sky, she felt like her whole body was burning up.

What was even hotter was the body heat emanating from the person behind me.

Although she was wearing a cotton-padded coat, perhaps due to the regional characteristics, this kind of clothing, which should have been for warmth, was very thin. When the two were very close, she could clearly feel the other person's hard chest.

This feeling made her unconsciously twist her body in an attempt to relieve the discomfort.

Feeling the steel-like arms around her waist, her heart pounded. She had never been so close to a boy before.

Zhu Zhuqing thought of many things in an instant. She forced herself to calm down, and as her body gradually relaxed, her heart became unusually peaceful.

At that moment, she felt that the whole world had changed; the sky was so vast, and the whistling in her ears sounded exceptionally beautiful.

She felt as if the invisible shackles binding her had vanished.

All of this stems from speculation about the eldest sister's motives.

As for Dai Mubai... since he chose to abandon me and run away, then the two of us should no longer have anything to do with each other.

This also saves the eldest sister from having a difficult job.

Just as Zhu Zhuqing was deep in thought, she suddenly felt her waist loosen, and Li Xun suddenly raised one of his arms, his palm reaching straight for her upper body.

Zhu Zhuqing's mind went blank, her heart pounding uncontrollably.

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

Just as her thoughts were stagnant, a hand stopped at the wound on her left shoulder.

Zhu Zhuqing had been running away all day and couldn't pay attention to her injuries. Li Xun was worried that she, who had already lost too much blood, would be in the cold high altitude.

Symptoms of hypothermia appeared.

Li Xun slowly mobilized his chakra, channeling it into his palm and directing it towards the wound.

Although he has not yet developed a healing ninjutsu, he can heal some external injuries by utilizing the properties of Wood Release, even at the cost of chakra.

"Why is your body so stiff? Are you afraid of falling?"

Li Xun felt Zhu Zhuqing's tense body and tightened his arm around her waist.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's mind had cleared up, and she realized that she had misunderstood, so she blushed.

She was amazed to feel the warm, comfortable sensation coming from the wound on her left shoulder.

"Brother Li Xun can actually heal his injuries without using his martial spirit!"

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Li Xun and said, "Besides, he's clearly a control-type Soul Master."

Li Xun saw Zhu Zhuqing turn her head and smile at her, but the other person seemed to be startled and quickly turned her head away.

"Hmm? Are you embarrassed because you saw my handsome face?" Li Xun pondered.

Perhaps it was because he had been away for too long and missed his sect, or perhaps it was because the sky was no longer so cold, but even when they passed through towns along the way, Li Xun did not let Sword Douluo stop.

Only when they came across a scenic spot would the three of them stop and rest to relieve their physical and mental fatigue.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ning Fengzhi's joy was palpable: "I never expected you to gain so much from this trip."

"Teacher, don't be too happy yet. You still need to personally discuss the specific details of cooperating with the Broken Clan with Senior Yang Wudi." Li Xun gave Ning Fengzhi a mental expectation.

"That's how it should be. Although the Po clan has fallen on hard times, it is still not comparable to ordinary sects. I will set off immediately." Ning Fengzhi nodded with a smile.

When Li Xun first mentioned wanting to win over the Po clan, he didn't have high hopes. He only thought it was a way to train his disciple, which is why he offered some words of encouragement.

Unexpectedly, in just over a year, Li Xun has quietly pushed the matter to such an extent.

How could this not surprise him?

It should be noted that the Po clan is comparable to the four lower sects, not to mention that they were vassals of the Haotian sect in the past.

As for whether he would anger the Haotian Sect, Ning Fengzhi smiled indifferently.
