The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 36 Opportunity

Zhu Zhuqing walked to the bedside in a state of confusion.

At the same time, he kept condemning himself in his heart.

He actually thought so badly of Brother Li Xun, who had saved him twice.

Zhu Zhuqing's hands trembled as she unbuttoned her outer garment, revealing the fair skin on her shoulder. However, the three-inch-long wound detracted from her overall beauty.

Zhu Zhuqing closed her eyes and lay down.

Li Xun stepped forward slowly, trying to avoid lingering his gaze on Zhu Zhuqing's chest, and began to examine the wound.

"It's alright." Li Xun nodded.

Although Zhu Zhuqing's injuries were severe, none of his bones were damaged. He is fully capable of treating such injuries now, although it will take some time.

But once healed, it will leave no scars.

When a warm hand covered her shoulder, Zhu Zhuqing felt a tingling sensation spread throughout her body. This feeling made her involuntarily close her legs and tremble all over.

Although Xingluo is not feudal, people of the opposite sex still maintain a distance from each other.

As for her clothing, although it accentuates her figure, it is never revealing.

She was lying on the bed wearing only her undergarments, and a man was sitting beside her, pressing on her shoulders.

This was something she never dared to imagine before.

"Alright, that's all for today. I need to recover my soul power." After an unknown amount of time, Li Xun suddenly withdrew his hand.

"Um"

Zhu Zhuqing kept her eyes closed, her voice barely audible.

At this moment, she looked like a ripe peach, her exposed skin fair and pink.

Li Xun glanced at it, then smiled and left the room.

He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, Zhu Zhuqing would become completely saturated.

Hearing the door close

Zhu Zhuqing carefully opened her eyes, glanced at the door, and then, as if thinking of something, buried her head deep in the quilt.

Li Xun walked all the way to the hall.

Just then, Ning Rongrong appeared, peeking around at the gate like a thief.

"Take whatever you need from the house, don't be shy," Li Xun joked.

"Hehe, I heard you were back, so I came to see you."

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up. She opened the door, skipped over to Li Xun, and grabbed his arm. "Brother, I heard you brought someone back. Where is they?"

"I'm resting now, I'll introduce you to him later."

Li Xun felt the touch on his arm and glanced at Ning Rongrong. He felt that he was already immune to this girl.

This feeling made him sigh with emotion.

Once a person comes into contact with something better, it's hard to go back to the way things were before. Ning Rongrong is still young and needs to work harder.

"Oh," Ning Rongrong hummed absentmindedly.

Having been together for several years, Li Xun knew exactly what Ning Rongrong was thinking. He smiled and ruffled Ning Rongrong's hair, saying, "Rongrong, you can't bully her."

Immediately

Li Xun then told Ning Rongrong about Zhu Zhuqing's experiences, deliberately exaggerating some of the details.

Ning Rongrong listened, her eyes welling with tears, and asked in a daze, "Brother, is Zhu Zhuqing safe now?"

Li Xun pondered for a moment: "Pretty much, but we should still keep a low profile."

"Hmph! When we grow up, we'll take Zhu Zhuqing back openly and honestly, and let's see what that Xingluo royal family can do then," Ning Rongrong said angrily.

"Okay, my Rongrong is amazing." Li Xun stroked her hair.

After coaxing Ning Rongrong away, Li Xun returned to his room and took out medical books from his soul tool, arranging them one by one.

This trip to Xingluo was incredibly rewarding for him.

Zhu Zhuqing, Yang Wudi, and Xiancao Tujie: A Win-Win-Win Situation.

Li Xun chuckled and opened the book.

The second volume of Yang Wudi's book is indeed, as he himself said, mostly about methods of making poison.

However, Li Xun still found what he wanted on it.

What surprised him even more was that it also recorded two other rare and precious plants.

"It seems I have to continue posting tasks, though it will cost some money, and maybe I'll even get some unexpected gains." Li Xun closed the book.

If a continent only has so few precious plants, it would be far too barren; even fantasy floor tiles wouldn't make sense.

"Now we're just waiting for the right opportunity."

Li Xun put the books one by one into his soul tool and immediately began cultivating.

Although he had already developed a good relationship with Dugu Yan, it wasn't a good idea to force someone to do something.

Their interactions were limited to those between younger generations, and they lacked the depth of Dugu Bo's influence.

Although he and Dugu Bo discussed medicine on several occasions and their conversations were quite congenial.

But Li Xun understood.

If I were to mention the herbs of Sunset Forest or the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Dugu Bo would become wary and suspect my purpose in approaching his granddaughter.

Although my motives were indeed impure...

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

But at that time, it would be much more difficult for him to win over Dugu Bo.

Spring goes and autumn comes, another year has passed.

During this year, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing became good friends and often spent time together at the academy. Her relationship with Li Xun also improved significantly.

Perhaps it's true that you become like those you associate with; spending a lot of time with Ning Rongrong's lively personality has made Zhu Zhuqing much more optimistic, and a smile occasionally appears on her face.

And that smile became even more radiant when Li Xun was chased out of the dormitory.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has also reached a cooperation agreement with the Broken Clan.

Yang's pharmaceuticals have gradually begun to spread throughout mainland China, and both parties are very satisfied with this cooperation.

But while some are satisfied, others are not.

The Titans of the Power Clan have repeatedly caused trouble at Yang Wudi's residence, leading to very unpleasant situations between the two sides.

As a result, the Min clan has become much more distant.

Only the Yu clan remained silent and quietly approached Yang Wudi seeking investment and housing construction cooperation.

Yang Wudi had been prepared for this, and he claimed to everyone that his relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was merely a cooperative one, thus avoiding escalating the situation.

However, Titan did not buy this, insisting that the Broken Clan had betrayed them and that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was taking advantage of their misfortune.

If he weren't so weak, he would have wanted to cause trouble at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Two more documents appeared on Pope Bibi Dong's desk, concerning the recent activities of the Broken Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Bibi Dong glanced at it briefly, then tossed it aside and ignored it, turning to go to the Pope's private chamber.

Xue Qinghe's position as crown prince became more secure, and he would occasionally visit Li Xun and Ning Rongrong at the academy.

However, this Crown Prince always inadvertently mentions the situation on the mainland and his views on the Spirit Hall when he speaks.

Li Xun never gave a direct answer to this.

He went on and on about other things, but in the end he only expressed one point: he did not approve of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Empire being enemies with the Spirit Hall.

Although these words were not very informative, Xue Qinghe listened very attentively. This was also the reason why she occasionally came to the academy.

Yang Wudi's grandson, Yang Qianjun, has also arrived at the academy.

Including Zhu Zhuqing, Li Xun's team already has enough members to participate in the next Soul Master Competition.

This is at the team's training ground.

Zhu Zhuqing and Yang Qianjun are launching an attack on Li Xun.

Behind the two, Ning Rongrong held the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda: "The seven treasures produce glazed tiles, and the seven treasures have names: first, strength; second, speed."

A beam of seven-colored light shot out from the tower, splitting into four strands in the air, which then entered the bodies of Zhu Zhuqing and Yang Qianjun respectively.

The two received a boost, and their speed increased dramatically.

"Good timing."

Li Xun smiled, his five fingers interlocked to form the Si Seal, and two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, lit up beneath his feet: "Wood Release."
