NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5: Stunned
"..."
Su Xing never thought Zhu Zhuqing would respond in this way.
But if you think about it carefully, Zhu Zhuqing's personality is really like this, especially at this time, she is extremely cold.
"Wait, it's too dangerous for a girl like you to be on the road alone, let me protect you!" Su Xing didn't want to let Zhu Zhuqing run away like this and hurried to keep up.
As for those two bad guys... how could they be more important than Zhu Zhuqing?
Okay, Su Xing admits that he had taken a fancy to Zhu Zhuqing, or at least was attracted to her. Honestly, when he saw Zhu Zhuqing in the anime, he liked her very much. Now that he saw Zhu Zhuqing in person, his heart suddenly became restless.
So, Su Xing didn't care about the original pairings or even that scumbag Dai Mubai. He wanted to see if he could win Zhu Zhuqing over!
Hearing Su Xing's words, Zhu Zhuqing's heart trembled slightly, and her footsteps stopped.
This was the first time she had heard someone say they wanted to protect her.
"No need!" Zhu Zhuqing didn't believe Su Xing and refused coldly.
"Don't refuse. I happen to be heading in the same direction, it's no trouble!" Su Xing smiled slightly and continued to follow.
Zhu Zhuqing's footsteps paused again, a little more forceful.
"What do you want with me?" Zhu Zhuqing looked straight at Su Xing coldly, her eyes freezing.
Su Xing wasn't afraid of her cold expression; instead, he found Zhu Zhuqing even more glamorous and attractive. His heart raced faster.
"Well, I'll confess. Whether you believe it or not, I fell in love with you at first sight!" Su Xing boldly met Zhu Zhuqing's gaze and spoke calmly.
Facing Su Xing's direct confession, Zhu Zhuqing's heart trembled. Many people liked her, but this was the first time someone had dared to confess so openly.
However, Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained cold.
"Do we know each other?" Zhu Zhuqing snorted coldly. "What is love at first sight? Isn't it just lust? How are you any different from those two scum?"
'They are two weak scumbag, I'm a strong scumbag, we are not the same.' Su Xing was speechless for a moment, but he didn't dare speak.
He hadn't expected Zhu Zhuqing to be so perceptive, already understanding the difference at her age — she was scarily mature!
Seeing Su Xing dumbfounded, Zhu Zhuqing's contempt grew.
"It's different. They just want your body; I want your heart." Su Xing could tell from Zhu Zhuqing's expression what she was thinking and was suddenly unhappy.
"..."
Faced with Su Xing's shameless and direct approach, it was Zhu Zhuqing's turn to be speechless.
She turned her gaze away, coldly saying, "Then you're even worse than them!"
After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing didn't want to waste any more time with Su Xing and quickly walked away.
"Let's at least get to know each other. My name is Su Xing, a 27th-level soul master. How about you?"
Su Xing wasn't one to give up easily and immediately followed her, continuing the conversation.
Zhu Zhuqing paused for a moment, surprised to learn Su Xing was at the same level as her.
But she quickly sped up her pace, ignoring him.
"I already told you my name. What about yours?"
"No? Not going to answer me? You don't want to tell me?"
"Surely, the person I'm looking for can't be that rude!"
"..."
Zhu Zhuqing continued to ignore him, while Su Xing remained unembarrassed, following her side.
With Zhu Zhuqing's speed, she couldn't shake him off.
Soon, Zhu Zhuqing realized this and stopped.
"Didn't you say that those two shouldn't be let go? Aren't you going to do anything about them?"
Zhu Zhuqing turned her head to look at Su Xing, frowning. It turned out she hadn't forgotten the two scumbags who had tried to rob her.
After Su Xing pointed it out, she realized she couldn't just let them go.
The reason she had walked away was because she thought Su Xing would deal with it.
This only worsened Zhu Zhuqing's impression of Su Xing!
"Just as I thought, you didn't forget they couldn't be let go!"
"Don't worry, observe!"
Su Xing heard Zhu Zhuqing's words and nodded in approval.
Then, Su Xing raised his right hand, turning around and pointing toward the two scumbags.
"Raijin's Wrath!"
A blue bolt of lightning appeared on Su Xing's right arm.
Zhu Zhuqing was speechless. She didn't need his help.
But soon, she was intrigued by Su Xing's actions. What was he trying to do?
Attack them from this distance? That was too far!
Could this guy's martial spirit be a long-range attack type?
Boom!
When Su Xing fired the Raijin's Wrath, Zhu Zhuqing was stunned. The whole world seemed to darken, leaving only the flash of the Raijin's Wrath!
Boom!
Then, she saw the two scumbags, who had been knocked out earlier, explode into a bloody mess upon being hit by Su Xing's attack.
There was no way they could survive that.
"So strong!"
Zhu Zhuqing wasn't frightened by the gruesome sight. Her eyes were filled with shock at the power of Su Xing's ability.
Zhu Zhuqing's view of Su Xing changed.
Before, she only thought he was as talented as her, around the same level and age.
But now, she was completely blown away by the power of his spirit ability.
That terrifying speed and force—if she had to face it, there was no way she could compete.
"Oh fuck, damn it! vomit~"
However, Su Xing, who was supposed to look very cool at this moment, suddenly turned pale and started vomiting.
Even though the distance was far, Su Xing clearly saw the gruesome result of the two men's deaths!
When he started the attack, it didn't seem like a big deal. After all, this was the world of soul masters. The killing was inevitable.
But after killing someone for the first time, Su Xing realized he couldn't face it as calmly as he thought.
After all, he still had proper morals.
"..."
Zhu Zhuqing quickly stepped away from Su Xing, looking at him speechlessly.
Just moments ago, she thought he was incredibly strong, but now, he seemed almost pathetic.
It was even a little funny!
"This is your first time killing, right? It's okay, you'll get used to it."
Although Zhu Zhuqing hadn't killed anyone herself, she could tell what was going on with Su Xing and tried to comfort him with a forced smile.
As for the two men he killed, she didn't think he had gone too far.
"Ahem..."
"Those two wouldn't even spare a girl like you. They must have harmed many others. They got what they deserved!"
After vomiting for a while, Su Xing began recounting the scumbags' crimes to make himself feel better.
It worked, and he started feeling much better.
"You're still not much better," Zhu Zhuqing coldly remarked.
"..."
"Huh..."
"I don't care. You were the first person I killed for, so you have to take responsibility for me!"
