Douluo Dalu: The World Suppressing Douluo

After the Purification Light soul skill ended, Lin Ye gently turned the girl over.

Looking at the wound on her back, the originally dark wound had now scabbed over, and the surrounding blackness had returned to a normal skin tone, fair with a hint of pink.

By the firelight and the moonlight shining down from the sky, Lin Ye examined the girl's back again. After confirming that the poison was completely neutralized, he withdrew his Nine-Spirit Immortal Tang Martial Soul.

"This little one is really lucky to have encountered you, Holy Son. Otherwise, being hunted and poisoned in the Star Dou Forest would have been extremely dangerous."

Beside him, the Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't help but sigh.

"Yeah, she's lucky. But since she met us, it's not like we could just stand by and do nothing, right?"

Lin Ye smiled faintly.

"The Holy Son is truly kind-hearted!"

"Alright, enough with the flattery. I'll hand over today's Fallen Heart Flame to you now."

Lin Ye waved his hand helplessly and said.

"Thank you, Holy Son!!"

...

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

At dawn, beside the extinguished campfire, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly woke up from a nightmare, sitting up abruptly.

Looking around, she saw the remnants of the extinguished campfire not far away, and a thin blanket covering her body.

Subconsciously, Zhu Zhuqing touched her clothes—they were still intact. Her body felt fine, and even the wound on her back seemed healed.

"Was I saved? My luck isn't bad."

Zhu Zhuqing thought to herself, but her lips curled into a self-mocking smile.

In this world, there probably wasn't anyone as pitiful as her.

Hunted by assassins sent by her own sister, gravely injured, and forced to jump into a river, only to be saved by a stranger.

What a laughable life. Her closest family was less trustworthy than strangers!

As she mocked herself inwardly, Zhu Zhuqing stood up.

She looked around but didn't see anyone.

This puzzled Zhu Zhuqing. Had the person who saved her already left?

Just as she was wondering, a sound came from the bushes in the distance.

A small, adorable white mouse suddenly darted out from the bushes.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing, the white mouse ran to her side, squeaking and circling around her excitedly.

"So cute!"

Seeing the white mouse, Zhu Zhuqing's usually cold face softened slightly. She crouched down and picked up the snow-white mouse.

"What a cute little one. It's not afraid of me at all…"

Holding the fluffy, snow-white mouse, about the size of a fist, in one hand, Zhu Zhuqing gently teased it with the other, a faint smile appearing on her face.

"Hehe, of course it's not afraid of you, because it's the one who saved you…"

As Zhu Zhuqing played with the mouse, a light chuckle came from the bushes.

"Who's there?"

Startled, Zhu Zhuqing instinctively looked toward the source of the voice.

With the sound of clothes fluttering, a handsome young man with long black hair and dressed in a luxurious silver-white robe leapt down from the trees.

In his arms was a large leaf carrying various fruits.

"I just went to the nearby stream to wash some fruits. I didn't expect you to wake up so soon," the young man said with a faint smile as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing.

"Did you save me?"

Hearing his words, Zhu Zhuqing's heart stirred, and she asked.

"Hehe, yes, I healed your injuries. But it was Tang Yuan who found you and led us to you," Lin Ye replied with a small smile.

"Tang Yuan?"

Hearing the name, Zhu Zhuqing was momentarily puzzled.

Lin Ye smiled and explained, "Tang Yuan is the little one you're holding. Doesn't it look like a big glutinous rice ball to you?"

"A big glutinous rice ball?"

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Zhu Zhuqing instinctively examined the white mouse in her arms.

Ignoring its pink ears, paws, and grayish-white tail, it did indeed resemble a large white glutinous rice ball.

"Last night, you were washed ashore by a nearby river, which is a few hundred meters away. If Tang Yuan hadn't smelled the blood on your back, we wouldn't have found you. You'd probably have been discovered by spirit beasts and…"

Lin Ye didn't finish his sentence, only smiling faintly. But Zhu Zhuqing understood his implication.

If Tang Yuan hadn't found her, she might have already become a meal for spirit beasts.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing's expression softened as she looked at Tang Yuan.

"Thank you, little one."

She gently stroked Tang Yuan's head with her slender fingers, her voice soft.

"Alright, thanking it isn't enough. It loves to eat. Feed it well, and that will be the best way to show gratitude."

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing thanking Tang Yuan, Lin Ye chuckled, took a washed fruit from the leaf in his arms, and handed it to her.

"But Tang Yuan's favorite is roasted meat. Fruits are just so-so."

After handing Zhu Zhuqing a fruit, Lin Ye placed the leaf full of fruits on the ground and sat down nearby.

"By the way, my name is Lin Ye. I forgot to ask, what's your name? Why were you unconscious here? This is the Star Dou Forest—did you come here alone?"

As he sat down and prepared to eat a fruit, Lin Ye suddenly thought of something. He looked up at Zhu Zhuqing and asked.

However, Zhu Zhuqing remained silent at his question.

Seeing her expression, Lin Ye immediately understood. It seemed the girl's injuries had a deeper cause.

It was probably some family feud. Lin Ye had heard plenty about power struggles within noble clans in Spirit City.

"Alright, if you don't want to answer, that's fine. Eat something first. Who knows how long you drifted in the river—you must be hungry."

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing didn't respond, Lin Ye didn't press further. Instead, he picked up another fruit from the large leaf and handed it to her.

"Thank you…"

Receiving the fruit, Zhu Zhuqing felt a slight warmth in her heart.

In her family, no one had ever cared for her like this. Knowing that the person before her had saved her, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but feel grateful.

But given her reserved nature, she wasn't good at expressing her feelings. After taking a few bites of the fruit, she finally looked up at Lin Ye and said softly.

"My name is Zhu Zhuqing. Lin Ye… thank you for saving me…"

"Zhu Zhuqing? Hehe, that's a beautiful name."

Hearing her finally reveal her name, Lin Ye smiled faintly and nodded slightly.
