Douluo: Son of Destruction of Life, Supreme Creator!

After all, no one could have imagined that soul tools could be so powerful.

"Oh. I see."

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly realized.

"However, the uses of soul-guiding arrays are extremely wide-ranging. You'll see once I've finished making it for you."

Gu Linyuan stood up, walked to the workbench, and picked up several pieces of prepared metal materials.

"You'll know once I've finished making it for you."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the boy's focused profile, his sharp features standing out clearly under the light, and a strange, indescribable emotion welled up in her heart.

"You...you go ahead and do your work."

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head and spoke very softly.

"I'll go to the kitchen and see what I can make."

Gu Linyuan looked up at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"You can cook?"

Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed slightly.

"I know a little."

"Okay. The kitchen is on the left, and the ingredients are in the cabinet. You can decide what to do."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped and turned around.

What...do you like to eat?

Her voice was very soft, almost drowned out by the flickering of the oil lamp.

Gu Linyuan looked up and met her dark eyes.

The girl stood in the kitchen doorway, her long, black hair cascading down to her waist. The light cast a soft glow on her profile. Her expression remained aloof, but there was something different in her eyes.

It's like anticipation.

It also seemed like nervousness.

Gu Linyuan thought for a moment and said, "Whatever, I'm not picky about food."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and turned to walk into the kitchen.

She walked a little faster than usual.

Her heart was racing, and she didn't know why.

She simply felt happy at that moment.

It wasn't the kind of grand, earth-shattering happiness.

It is a kind of ordinary, subtle happiness, as warm as the spring sunshine.

She had never experienced this feeling before.

From childhood to adulthood, her life has been arranged by others.

She cultivates, grows stronger, marries Dai Mubai, and becomes the Crown Princess of the Star Luo Empire.

Every step was meticulously planned, leaving no room for choice.

She thought this was how her life would be.

Cold, gray, and devoid of warmth.

But now, she suddenly feels that life can be another way.

It can have temperature.

It can have color.

Chapter 24 Zhu Zhuqing Takes the Initiative, Gu Linyuan Likes Da Lei

After finishing the meal.

Zhu Zhuqing cleared away the dishes, washed them, and put them back in the cupboard.

She took off her apron, folded it neatly, and placed it by the stove.

Then he walked out of the kitchen and stood in the living room.

Gu Linyuan remained seated at the table, a carving knife in his hand, continuing to carve the patterns on the claw sheath.

He looked up and glanced at her.

"Got to go?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

"Hmm. It's getting late."

Gu Linyuan put down his carving knife, stood up, and saw her to the door.

A night breeze blew by, carrying the chill of early autumn.

Zhu Zhuqing's long hair was blown by the wind, and a few strands brushed against Gu Linyuan's arm, tickling him.

“Perfect timing. I’ve also made what you wanted.” Gu Linyuan handed the claw armor to Zhu Zhuqing. The claw armor he made, when activated by Zhu Zhuqing’s cultivation level, could unleash combat power comparable to that of a Soul Master.

That is, the level of a level 4 soul tool during the Douluo Continent II: The Legend of Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Zhuqing's current cultivation level is sufficient to activate a level four soul tool, but it will consume a lot of soul power and make it difficult to use continuously.

However, for agility-based Soul Masters, the key is to maximize their combat effectiveness in a short period. If they cannot defeat their opponent within three minutes, it becomes much more difficult to win.

"it is good."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't ask Gu Linyuan how much it would cost to make. It seemed she owed Gu Linyuan so much that she could never repay it all.

She pursed her lips, turned around, and walked towards the door.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and turned around.

Under the moonlight, the girl's face was as white as jade, and her light-colored eyes reflected the faint moonlight.

“Gu Linyuan”.

She called him by his name, not Long Yuan, but Gu Lin Yuan.

Gu Linyuan was slightly taken aback.

"Thank you."

Zhu Zhuqing said.

Her voice was soft and gentle, like a wisp of floral fragrance in the night breeze.

Gu Linyuan leaned against the door frame, crossed his arms, and smiled.

"No need to thank me. You helped me suck out the poisonous blood, so I'll treat you to a meal. We're even."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at him, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

The curve was very shallow, so shallow that it was almost invisible.

But Gu Linyuan saw it.

She looks beautiful when she smiles.

Like the first ray of spring water melting from an iceberg, like the first ray of sunshine in winter.

Not intense, but warm.

Do you think we'll ever see each other again?

Zhu Zhuqing asked.

She knew that Gu Linyuan wouldn't stay here for long. Perhaps, he would leave soon.

"Of course. We'll see each other often."

Gu Linyuan thought for a moment.

Their next meeting will be in the Star Dou Great Forest. He is determined to obtain the Eight Spider Spears.

"anything else?"

"Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a second, then said softly.

"Uh."

Gu Linyuan was stunned.

"I actually have a fiancé, the one who stopped you from taking me away yesterday. But I don't like him."

Zhu Zhuqing mustered her courage and said.

As she said this, her whole face turned red.

Then she turned around, her black figure disappearing into the night.

Gu Linyuan stood at the door, watching the receding figure until she completely disappeared into the shadows of the street corner.

"This girl... she doesn't mean she wants me to steal her away, does she?"

Gu Linyuan opened his mouth.

Has Zhu Zhuqing fallen in love with him?

Isn't it said that women are slow to warm up?

In his past life, he had met many girls who said they were slow to warm up, but when it came to asking for gifts during holidays, they would become very familiar with each other.

Now he understands.

There's no such thing as a slow-burning girl; it's just that you don't like her enough yet.

He had been with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for many years. Although Ning Fengzhi had repeatedly hinted that he would betroth Rongrong to him, he had never actually finalized the marriage. He was probably just looking for a better option while keeping his options open.
