Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with speechlessness.
"No, no! I can hide my battle aura! At my age, I can easily be at level 40 or 50!"
Xiao Wu protested.
Ignore her resistance.
Xiao Yan turned and walked away to another place, to a magnificent and luxurious hotel, the Soto City Grand Hotel.
In front of the hotel.
The hostesses, dressed in high-slit cheongsams, smiled broadly.
"So slutty." Rabbit said with dissatisfaction when she saw this scene, and straightened her back. In an instant, her temperament almost suppressed all the brilliance around her.
Xiao Yan glanced at her slightly.
Although he often complained about rabbits, in terms of looks alone, he was indeed unmatched in this small town, and even on the entire continent, he would be considered top-tier. It's just that his mouth—
He also noticed the slight somber expressions on the faces of the hostesses upon hearing this, and a thought crossed his mind.
Xiao Wu wanted to hum a few more times, but suddenly found that she couldn't make a sound! Her expression immediately turned terrified, and she tugged at Xiao Yan's hand with a pleading look.
Xiao Yan ignored him and walked straight into the hotel.
Seeing this interaction between master and servant, the greeter's eyes gleamed with amusement. "They really know how to have fun!" he thought, then flashed an even brighter smile: "Welcome!"
Shortly after they entered the hotel, a figure dressed in black, exuding a cool and aloof aura, passed by the hotel entrance.
Zhu Zhuqing frowned almost imperceptibly, thought about her empty wallet, and then turned and left in a cold and aloof manner.
By the end of the journey, we had almost no money left.
Finding a rooftop or a grove of trees to spend the night would be fine; it might be a bit cold, but at least it would provide shelter from the wind and rain. I've finally made it here. Once I find that person, everything will become clear.
Dai Mubai —
Thinking of that name, a complex mix of emotions swept through her mind—hatred mixed with a faint sense of anticipation.
It wouldn't be what she imagined day and night—his departure was merely to improve his strength in another place, definitely not an escape—definitely not—
Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fist, her figure as nimble as a cat, and quietly blended into the shadows of the street.
"Level 27, age 12—even in this city, isn't that considered top-tier potential?"
Soto City Grand Hotel.
Inside the most luxurious suite on the top floor.
Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes. His mental probe had never stopped, covering almost half of Soto City.
"Suddenly I feel that the protagonist isn't so bad after all. Reaching level 30 at the age of twelve is—not bad at all."
"But so far, the male character with the highest potential is the protagonist Tang San, while the female character is—that little cat in front of the hotel earlier."
"Time is tight, the task is heavy, you're the one!"
Xiao Yan glanced at the rabbit, who was still looking at him with pitiful eyes and kneeling in front of him after being silenced, and said, "Stay here!"
Immediately, his figure vanished in a flash of pink light.
"Um"
Rabbit Xiaowu was about to say something, but was silenced and couldn't speak. Her outstretched hand froze in mid-air. She pouted, but her eyes suddenly lit up. She glanced in the direction of the Soto Grand Arena, and was enveloped in a pink light before disappearing from the room.
The cheapest little hotel in Soto.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at her emptied pockets and breathed a long sigh of relief. It seemed she wouldn't have to sleep in the open today; at least she had a place to stay.
It's still early; we can gather more information.
With renewed determination, she glanced back at the small hotel behind her, her eyes still filled with trepidation and resolve.
But she had only taken the second step!
Her pupils suddenly contracted!
Suddenly, a figure appeared out of nowhere in front of him, and the other person's gaze fell on him.
In an instant, all the dangerous experiences he had had since fleeing the Zhu family flooded his mind. The next moment, the Netherworld Cat suddenly possessed him, and a sharp meow rang out!
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were fixed on that figure.
But instead of attacking, she transformed into a blurry black shadow, flashing to the side in an instant, attempting to escape.
"Oh? It really is a cat." Xiao Yan's lips curled up slightly.
The next moment, the pink light reappeared.
His still figure suddenly appeared at the end of Zhu Zhuqing's escape route, and he raised his hand to gently touch her smooth forehead.
This—how is this possible!
Zhu Zhuqing's pupils shrank drastically! Before she could even react, the other person had already appeared in front of her.
An indescribably powerful pressure emanated from the fingertips that lightly touched her forehead, causing her body to tremble continuously, yet she hesitated to strike with her claws.
She had a gut feeling that if she dared to move, the next thing to break would be her arm, or even her head.
Under that terrifying pressure, she froze on the spot, only able to look up at what lay before her with a mixture of fear and trepidation.
A face with a gentle smile came into view.
Although it was only for a moment, her fear inexplicably dissipated by more than half. Forcibly suppressing her last unease, she said in a slightly trembling voice, "I wonder—Senior—what brings you to me? If I can help you, I will do my best."
"That's exactly what I wanted to hear." Xiao Yan's smile remained unchanged. "It may be just polite talk, but I won't stand on ceremony."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing felt a blur before her eyes, and the two figures suddenly disappeared from the rooftop.
When she regained her sight, she was in a bright and luxurious hotel suite.
This bizarre and unpredictable method caused Zhu Zhuqing's face to stiffen again. Even someone as aloof as her could not suppress her shock.
"Your talent is the best I've seen today, and being a woman makes me feel a little more at ease. I've also tested your character just now; you're able to cooperate with me on some tasks."
Xiao Yan continued talking to himself.
"If my senior has spoken, I, your junior, will gladly die for him."
Zhu Zhuqing said this, her voice trembling as she tried to suppress it.
"If they're smart, that's even better."
Xiao Yan smiled with satisfaction, withdrew his hand, and then leaned back comfortably on the sofa. He glanced at the spot where the rabbit had disappeared, a sight that was both expected and unexpected.
My gaze returned to the kitten in front of me.
A tight-fitting black leather outfit perfectly accentuated her stunning figure. If rabbits were ranked first in beauty, she would easily be second.
With her feline-like demeanor, and even a small, soft leather whip at her tailbone that seemed to be specially made or a manifestation of her martial soul, she was the epitome of a cold and beautiful catgirl.
However, feeling this unbridled scrutiny, as if evaluating an item, Zhu Zhuqing's heart trembled slightly.
She dared not react at all, and even her posture remained stiff as she had been trying to escape.
But the longer the silent gaze lingered, the more uneasy she felt.
Finally, she gritted her teeth, her voice trembling slightly, and whispered, "I'm only twelve years old."
"Um?"
Xiao Yan's mind stirred slightly, and his gaze lingered on her for a moment longer before he looked away, secretly admiring her in his heart.
If the spirit rings have this ability, then what about the energy converted from the "magic core"? This provides yet another necessary reason for experimentation.
He looked at the "cat" in front of him with increasing satisfaction.
Zhu Zhuqing seemed to realize that she had hit the nail on the head, or rather, that she had inadvertently touched on a certain point in the mind of the person in front of her.
A pang of regret welled up inside her, but she clenched her teeth even tighter, as if she were throwing caution to the wind, and continued, "My name is Zhu Zhuqing, and my true identity is the second daughter of the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire, and also the fiancé of the Third Prince—"
"That's enough." Xiao Yan sensed a familiar undertone in Xi's words, an attempt to use her identity and background as leverage or a shield, and interrupted her directly. "I don't care about these things."
Zhu Zhuqing's breath hitched. Xiao Yan said nothing more, his gaze falling directly on Zhu Zhuqing's chest. "Just listen to me."
Immediately, a blue-gold intertwined light emanated from his chest, with gold as the main color and blue as the secondary color. The illusory image of the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, carrying a vibrant green and a vigorous life force, appeared.
Open your mouth.
The moment that warm, noble, and life-giving aura appeared, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but look up, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
In the brief moment of her slight daze, her lips unconsciously parted slightly.
The next moment, a crystal-clear droplet, brimming with vitality, fell precisely into her mouth.
Before she could react and feel any fear, the drop of liquid transformed into a gentle yet vast warm current, bursting forth within her body and sweeping through her limbs and bones!
An indescribable sense of comfort washed over my entire body, as if every cell was leaping with joy, and even my martial spirit resonated with a pleasant feeling.
What shocked her even more was that the soul power barrier within her body, which had only recently been stabilized, suddenly made a soft "bang" sound!
Immediately afterwards, the soul power surged and rose like a pond being filled with living water.
Originally at level 27, his soul power suddenly broke through to level 28!
"this----!"
Zhu Zhuqing's pupils suddenly contracted as she felt the real changes within her body in disbelief.
She suddenly looked up, not in shock, but in terror.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, nor is there any power that comes without effort. So what is the price that must be paid for doing this?
