Chapter 34: An Encounter with a Hot Leather-Clad Beauty, First Meeting with Zhu Zhuqing! _1

"Huh?"

"A new target so soon?"

"LSP System, it seems like you really don't want me to rest."

Luo Yu clicked his tongue, secretly beginning to guess who it could be this time.

But it was indeed a bit hard to guess.

After all, Soul Land is nothing if not full of beauties.

The incomparably fiery Fiery Queen, the enchanting goddess Hu Liena, the young-looking Catgirl Zhu Zhuqing with gorgeous legs, the alluring Charm Rabbit Xiao Wu, the purely desiring Witch Ning Rongrong, and the strikingly beautiful Ice and Snow Empresses...

With so many peerless beauties, Luo Yu couldn't count them all at once and really couldn't guess who the System would choose.

[Ding! Goddess successfully locked!!]

[Mission issued: Capture the Hell Spiritual Cat Zhu Zhuqing]

[Mission reward: Zhu Tian Sword exclusive, hundred thousand-year second soul ring]

"Zhu Zhuqing?"

Luo Yu was stunned for a moment, an image of a catgirl with a cold facial expression and a voluptuously attractive figure flashing through his mind, terribly cute and charming.

This damn System, it sure knows how to pick them.

As if thinking of something, the corners of Luo Yu's mouth lifted slightly.

Dai Mubai, my brother, I'm sorry for you, it's the System that wants to cuck you, if you have any complaints, take it up with it, it has nothing to do with me, Luo Yu.

What ill intentions could I have? I'm just after a soul ring reward.

Ever since seeing the flashy coolness of the Nineday Executioner's first soul ring, Luo Yu couldn't help but look forward to what the second soul ring would be like; he felt itchy like a cat scratch at the thought.

He took out a map from his storage pouch and carefully checked it.

Located the position of Shrek Academy.

Just as he took two steps, the emotionless electronic voice rang again.

[Ding! System prompt: Zhu Zhuqing has not yet joined the academy and is on the way to Shrek.]

"Huh?"

"Not yet joined the academy? On the road?"

Hearing the system's prompt, Luo Yu immediately had a plan, knowing which time point he was at now.

It seems his arrival wasn't too late; it was just the right time.

Luo Yu asked, "Do you know where Zhu Zhuqing is?"

The System did not respond, but a transparent panel suddenly appeared in front of Luo Yu, displaying a map.

His location was a golden point, stationary.

Another location was a moving black point, quickly moving.

"Sss!"

"Awesome."

Luo Yu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, navigation included.

This woman is moving so fast; could she have encountered some trouble?

Luo Yu pondered for a moment, then darted out in the right direction.

...

The deep night had arrived, and the stars were brilliant.

The bright crescent moon hung in the sky, sprinkling silver light, falling into the forest near Soto City.

"Rustling!"

The sound of friction from the shrubs echoed beneath the moonlit woods.

A shadowy figure suddenly burst out.

It was a woman, voluptuous to the extreme, with a wasp waist and ample curves, her body tightly wrapped in black leather, which outlined her perfect figure, exuding an astounding ferocious charm.

Such a fiery beauty, though, had a juvenile face totally mismatched with her body, with two fluffy, cute ears atop her head that added a different kind of beauty.

The girl's face was icy at the moment, her beautiful eyes filled with anxiety and irritation, biting her lip as she hurried along, occasionally glancing back.

Seeing no one following, she breathed a sigh of relief, slowing her steps down a bit.

Suddenly, her relaxed eyes tensed up again, her soul force gathered.

Because in the direction ahead of her, a firelight in the woods was so out of place and dazzling.

She tiptoed like a cat, quietly approaching.

Quietly parting the bushes, she saw a boy around twelve or thirteen years old, plain-faced, sitting beside a campfire, with a wooden rack grilling meat on it.

After observing for a long time, there was nothing unusual about the boy.

She realized there was no danger and walked out boldly.

"Rustling."

"Who are you?" the boy quickly turned his head.

The girl in the tight leather outfit waved her hand, "Don't worry, I'm just passing by and mean no harm."

"Oh, then come over," said the boy, turning back to focus on his barbecue.

The girl approached step by step, her eyes filled with curiosity.

This guy dares turn his back to someone he met in the wild without fearing an ambush?

Is his sense of precaution that bad?

He must be some naive youngster fresh out of the house from some family.

In just a short time, the girl let down her guard and approached fully.

She didn't see the gradually rising corners of the boy's mouth, who had his back to her.

As if everything was within expectations.

The boy, of course, was Luo Yu who had been waiting here early on, according to the trajectory.

Only, to avoid attracting significant powers to butt in, he used the Thousand Illusion Mask to hide his real appearance, even disguised his Martial Soul, so he looked ordinary.

Actually, with the capabilities of the Thousand Illusion Mask, he could have made himself look more handsome, but Luo Yu felt it was unnecessary.

Being handsome for too long, occasionally being plain felt not too bad either.

It also made chasing after girls more of a challenge, didn't it?

Right now, he was relaxed and confident.

Zhu Zhuqing curiously sized up the young man before her.

This fellow was completely ignoring her, focusing intently on the rotating roast meat over the campfire.

Not only was he naive, but he must also be a foodie.

Zhu Zhuqing found it hard to think otherwise.

Ever since she was young, every man who saw her had lust in his eyes, and even if they were subtle, she would detect it. Her fiancé was no exception, and she detested those lecherous stares.

But this guy, his mind and eyes were fixed on the food.

Somehow endearingly special, yet seemingly a bit foolish.

There was silence for a while as Luo Yu turned the juicy meat on the rack, drops of grease falling into the fire, crackling and sending waves of aroma wafting through the air.

"Hey," Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but speak up.

"Hmm?" Luo Yu glanced at her.

"You, your sense of vigilance is really low, isn't it?"

"Is there a problem?"

Zhu Zhuqing was dumbfounded; was this guy too simple or just plain stupid?

"Don't you know to be cautious of strangers in the wilderness?"

Luo Yu raised an eyebrow, "Are you reminding me to be wary of you?"

Zhu Zhuqing's usual calm was shattered. What kind of thought process did this guy have? She huffed irritably, "Don't you know, if I had stabbed you from behind just now, you would be dead?"

Luo Yu blinked.

For some reason, Zhu Zhuqing's heartbeat quickened momentarily; there seemed to be a special charm in his eyes, making them particularly attractive.

But he was definitely just average looking.

She had seen so many handsome men before and had never been moved.

Perhaps she was just too exhausted from being hunted for so long.

Now that she had shaken off her pursuers, it was time to rest.

"Rascal, why do you keep staring at me with such wide eyes?" Zhu Zhuqing spat out.

"I'm wondering, would you kill me?"

"Is that even a question? If I wanted to make a move, you would have died just now," Zhu Zhuqing said with a roll of her eyes.

"If you're not going to kill me, then why did you waste so much breath just now?" Luo Yu immediately turned away, focusing again on his little barbecue.

"You!" Zhu Zhuqing was at a loss for words.

So all that talk was for nothing, and I was the clown? He wasn't afraid at all?

Watching Luo Yu, so nonchalant and only caring about his roast meat, Zhu Zhuqing glared at him angrily, yet somewhat helplessly.

She thought to herself sarcastically.

You should feel lucky that it's me you've encountered.

Otherwise, with your lack of vigilance, you'd be dead already if you came across someone nefarious.

The forest was quiet, and without conversation, but the scent of the meat grew ever more intense.

Luo Yu took out a sharp knife, cutting into the lightly charred meat, and sprinkled on a handful of homemade savory spices, instantly causing the surrounding jungle to fill with fragrance.

Zhu Zhuqing swallowed hard in secret; she hadn't had a proper meal after being chased continuously.

Damn it, how could he make the meat smell so good!!

"Want a piece?" Luo Yu cut off a slice of roast meat, wrapped it in paper, and offered it to her.

Zhu Zhuqing was about to reach for it when her expression suddenly changed.

That's not right!

Wouldn't that be slapping her own face?

She declined, "No need, don't you have any common sense."

"In the wilderness, one must never accept food from strangers. What if it's poisoned?"

"Oh, afraid of poison?" Luo Yu smiled lightly, pulling his hand back, "Then you'd better not eat."

Hey, why's he like this!! Zhu Zhuqing's mood was disrupted once more.

Hmph! I just won't eat it.

I have my own dry food.

Luo Yu started to devour his meal with relish, even taking out a flask to drink.

Smelling the rich scent of the meat, watching the splattering of the juices, and the aroma of the spices...

Zhu Zhuqing's little lips trembled as she bit into her dry food.

The food that was about to enter her mouth couldn't go down; suddenly, it just didn't taste good anymore.

"Hey, you really won't eat, there's one piece left!" Luo Yu suddenly said.

"I..." Zhu Zhuqing hesitated, clutching her dry food tightly.

"Oh, you're not eating? Then I'll eat it for you."

Without further ado, Luo Yu tossed the piece of roast meat into his mouth.

Smack smack.

Argh!!!

What was up with this guy, not playing by the rules?

So infuriating!

Zhu Zhuqing felt her composure crumbling; this guy had completely disrupted her calm.

So annoying, so hateful!

"Oh dear, to meet is fate; how could I possibly eat alone? Look at that forlorn little expression of yours."

Luo Yu teased her, seemingly pulling out another piece of roast meat wrapped in a green leaf like magic.

Awash with fragrance, extremely tempting.

"Still don't want it?" Luo Yu raised an eyebrow, slowly opening his mouth as if he was about to withdraw the hand he had extended.

"I want it, who said I didn't want it, hmph!"

"It's free, why not take it."

Zhu Zhuqing quickly extended her hand and snatched the roast meat like lightning.

Watching her lips glisten with grease, Luo Yu wore a faint mischievous smile.

She was still just a little girl after all.

So innocent and adorable...
