In Douluo Continent, I saved Zhu Zhuqing at the beginning.

Zhu Zhuqing stared in disbelief at the half-person-tall Crimson King.

It wasn't until they looked at each other that she was sure.

That icy gaze was like a black hole that could devour a person.

"You can call me the Crimson King. According to your human standards, I am a 100,000-year-old soul beast. The person beside you is my master; his power is beyond your imagination, but he..."

I'm experiencing what it's like to be an ordinary person. You need to cooperate, understand?

"Ah, this..."

Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback, but immediately understood.

To have a 100,000-year-old soul beast as a pet, what a terrifying existence that must be...

At this moment, a storm raged within Zhu Zhuqing's heart.

A hypothesis then emerged: the person before them might not be human! Rather, it might be a terrifying soul beast with terrifying cultivation, capable of transforming into a human.

But what level would that be?

Eight hundred thousand years?

Nine hundred thousand years?

Or a million years!

This is... terrifying!

Hmm? Why isn't this girl saying anything...? Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's hesitant manner, her disheveled hair, and her pale face, Lin Yan immediately thought of a possibility.

I'm lost!

They must be lost!

Moreover, judging from the girl's disheveled appearance, she must have suffered a lot and must be exhausted and hungry now!

It's just that girls are shy and embarrassed to ask for help!

"Hehe, why don't you come to my house and rest for a while? I just shot a big bird while hunting, I'll treat you to barbecue."

I don't want to, I don't want to, I didn't...

Subconsciously, Zhu Zhuqing wanted to refuse.

However, upon seeing Dahei's icy gaze, Zhu Zhuqing forced a fairly bright smile. "Okay..."

"Chapter Three: Ugly, Ultimately, Self! You must be the Great Emperor!"

"Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lin Yan."

"My name is... Zhu Zhuqing."

What? You're Zhu Zhuqing?

Lin Yan was slightly taken aback.

So the timeline of Douluo Continent has progressed to this point. Although he has met many people over the past thousand years, this is the first time he has met the protagonist of the world.

Lin Yan took another look at the beautiful young woman. He couldn't help but sigh; that playboy Dai Mubai was truly a piece of trash.

He has extremely poor character and is just a spoiled brat. What right does he have to win the favor of such a young girl?

But now that he has met this beautiful girl in this life, does it mean that something will change?

Lin Yan was very much looking forward to it.

.

Back in his own courtyard, Lin Yan was the first to push open the door and enter.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the courtyard in front of her with some doubt and uncertainty.

According to her, the dwelling place of soul beasts should be a cave or underground dwelling, but the building in front of her was clearly in the human style.

However, she didn't dare to hesitate for too long, because the big black dog behind her was already whimpering impatiently.

She took a step out. Standing in the courtyard, a look of surprise immediately appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face.

"There's... such a dense concentration of soul power!"

As a Soul Master, her Soul Power instantly became active. With just a light breath, her entire body seemed to relax. Her cultivation had clearly improved.

"This is simply an unimaginable treasure trove!"

She was born into nobility, and her cultivation environment from childhood was a rare treasure trove, yet compared to this place, her soul power progress was more than ten times slower. If this place were a royal palace, then...

The place I used to live in was a slum!

Yes, that's how extreme it is.

If people knew what Zhu Zhuqing was thinking at this moment, they would be quite astonished.

Comparing the Duke's Palace to a slum? That sounds like something out of an old Versailles.

Zhu Zhuqing was alarmed when she saw Lin Yan start bustling about as soon as he entered the courtyard. She couldn't just stand there and wait.

"Um... is there anything I can help you with?"

"No need, you sit there and rest for a while. How can we let the guests do the work? If you get bored while you sit there, there's a novel on the table you can read!"

"Novels? What are those?"

As Zhu Zhuqing thought this, her gaze swept across the table and she noticed a thick book that she hadn't seen before in her nervousness.

However, once her gaze fell upon it, she couldn't look away; it possessed an inexplicable allure.

The book is titled "Covering the Sky".

I opened the book as if by some strange impulse.

"Boom!"

Zhu Zhuqing felt a jolt in her mind, and a magnificent and vast world appeared before her eyes.

The strongest in this world can seize stars and pluck the moon with a wave of their hand, shattering the stars; it is no exaggeration to say that they can cover the sky with one hand.

Compared to them, I'm not even an ant.

Does such a world really exist?

Zhu Zhuqing was thrilled and quickly became captivated by the ever-changing scenes before her eyes.

soon.

She ignored time, ignored place, and even forgot herself. She threw herself wholeheartedly into the world.

One by one, vividly portrayed characters appeared before her eyes.

A female emperor with unparalleled beauty and charm.

At the end of the immortal path, who stands atop the peak? A single glance at the beginningless Dao reveals emptiness. It was a figure with his back to the world, his silhouette filled with loneliness.

A figure endured countless hardships and rose from adversity. In the end, he became the supreme Heavenly Emperor, suppressing the forbidden zone, quelling the turmoil, and sweeping away all enemies in the world.

People call him Emperor Ye.

"Does such a world... and such supreme powerhouses... really exist?"

Finally, the girl slowly closed the book. Her eyes were filled with confusion, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

In her heart, there was boundless longing.

"When falsehood becomes truth, truth becomes falsehood; when truth becomes falsehood, falsehood becomes truth. Who can truly distinguish between truth and falsehood, reality and illusion?"

Lin Yan said leisurely. If even he could travel to the Douluo Continent, what else is impossible?

"Is truth or falsehood intertwined, and falsehood or truth?!"

Zhu Zhuqing murmured as if she had just understood. Soon, her eyes brightened. "Thank you, senior… I understand!"

"You've realized something? Realized what?"

Lin Yan was taken aback. Why was this girl acting so strangely? He had only made a casual remark.

But Zhu Zhuqing did not answer. She had already closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. A mysterious aura emanated from her body.

"Is this... a sudden enlightenment?"

Lin Yan was speechless.

Although he was neither a Soul Master nor a cultivator, after reading so many novels, he still thought that this must be the legendary enlightenment.

To suddenly have an epiphany like that is too hasty.

Sunset West Mountain.

Zhu Zhuqing finally snapped out of her daze. Then, she bowed deeply to Lin Yan, expressing her heartfelt gratitude.

"Thank you for passing on your teachings."

"It's good that you're awake. Dinner can be served right away."

Lin Yan ignored this eccentric girl. He was also curious; shouldn't Zhu Zhuqing be portrayed as a cold and aloof goddess?

But what happened to the aloof and indifferent demeanor I was promised?

However, Lin Yan was unaware that Zhu Zhuqing's gaze towards him was filled with reverence.

If Zhu Zhuqing had previously doubted the reality of the bizarre world described in "Covering the Sky," she was now absolutely certain that the world truly existed.

Because she actually obtained one of the most powerful spells, the "Nine Secrets Technique," from that 'novel'.

Those who are in battle formation advance in formation, forming the Nine Secrets.

However, what she comprehended were the secrets of the character "皆" and the character "行".

The Secret of All Characters, created by the Emperor, increases combat power tenfold.

The Secret of Travel, created by the Celestial Venerable of Freedom, represents the ultimate limit of travel in the world. It not only possesses unparalleled speed but also allows one to ascend to the heavens and traverse the netherworld; it can travel to any place.

You can go.

Although Zhu Zhuqing has only grasped two of the secret techniques so far, she is already extremely satisfied.

Because these two secret techniques are enough to easily defeat Soul Masters of the same level. It's even possible to challenge those of higher levels.
