Douluo: Protects Our Spirit Hall

  Chapter 374 Zhu Zhuqing Yearning for Freedom

  After finishing speaking, Zhu Zhuqing relaxed a little, and his heart seemed to be less depressed.

   These things have been backlogged in my heart, there is nowhere to talk, and no one listens.

  Speaking out now made her feel a lot better.

  It's like dredging the backlog of floodwater in a barrier lake, and I feel extremely comfortable and relaxed for a while.

   She hasn't said so many words for a long time.

  Since she awakened her martial spirit at the age of six, she has been listed as a candidate heir by the family just like her elder sister Zhu Zhuyun.

  From then on, all the people who were close to her before, whether they were family members, friends, or playmates, all stayed away from her.

   And she gradually became indifferent and ruthless, and there was no one around her to talk to.

  Although there are a few guards arranged by the family, these guards are not loyal to her. Apart from obeying the orders of the family and performing the duties of guards, it is impossible to get close to her.

   After all, in the eyes of these guards, she is just a whetstone arranged by the family for her elder sister Zhu Zhuyun, a sacrificial victim, and it is impossible to defeat her elder sister.

  Unable to win the inheritance of the family from her elder sister, naturally no one wants to get close to her, let alone be loyal to her.

   It can be said that Zhu Zhuqing is a loner in the family.

   Originally, Zhu Zhuqing didn't want to mention the family matters, but when Ye Qifeng asked, she was willing to speak out.

  I even want to tell him all my worries, the pressure I am facing, and the pain I am facing.

  For some reason, Ye Qifeng seemed to have a magical power that made her trust him.

  After Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, Ye Qifeng glanced at her, and said lightly:

   "I've also heard about the family rules of the Zhu family in your Xingluo Youming Grand Duke's Mansion. If you say it well, it's called competition. If you say it badly, it's actually called raising Gu."

   "In the final analysis, it's just killing each other and respecting strength."

"indeed so."

  Zhu Zhuqing thought for a while, then nodded slightly, agreeing with this statement.

  But she has no choice. If she wants to survive, she can only follow the family arrangement, follow the rules of the game, and accept her own destiny.

  Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's immature but cold cheeks, Ye Qifeng felt a little pity in his heart, thought for a while, and asked softly:

   "What are you going to do next? Go back to Xingluo City, return to Zhu's house?"

   Zhu Zhuqing held the roasted rabbit in his hand, his eyes were slightly loose, and he seemed a little confused:

"I don't know either."

  At this time, Ye Qifeng asked again:

   "I remember the Dai family of the Star Luo royal family and the Zhu family of your Nether Grand Duke's mansion. The relationship between the two families is extremely close, and there is a custom of marriage from generation to generation."

   "Since you have been listed as the candidate heir of the Zhu family, there should be a marriage partner?"

  Zhu Zhuqing was slightly taken aback, and then nodded slightly:

"some."

   "His name is Dai Mubai. He is the third prince of the Dai family of the Star Luo Empire. He is three years older than me. He made a marriage contract shortly after I awakened my martial spirit at the age of six."

   "What about others?"

  Ye Qifeng looked at Zhu Zhuqing, and asked in a flat tone.

  He has been staying in the Star Dou Great Forest for more than half a month, and he didn't pay much attention to what happened in Star Luo City.

  How many things will develop, he is not very clear.

  Zhu Zhuqing pursed his oily lips, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes:

   "He ran away."

it is as expected.

  It seems that the development of this world has not been completely chaotic because of my chaos, and the development of some things is still going on according to the original destiny.

   That guy Dai Mubai really left Zhu Zhuqing alone, and went to the Heaven Dou Empire to have a good time by himself.

  Ye Qifeng thought silently.

  Then I heard Zhu Zhuqing speak coldly, saying with a bit of hatred in her tone:

"That coward Dai Mubai secretly left Star Luo City a month ago, fled to the Heaven Dou Empire, left me to fend for myself in Star Luo City, and let me face sister Zhu Zhuyun and David alone. S."

   "Davis is the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire, and also Dai Mubai's biological brother. He is six years older than Dai Mubai. His intelligence, talent and strength are all top choices."

   "Dai Mubai and I have been engaged since we were young, and my sister Zhu Zhuyun and Davis are also engaged."

   "Originally we competed in our respective families, Dai Mubai was against his elder brother Davis, and I was against my elder sister Zhu Zhuyun."

   "But now that Dai Mubai has escaped and went to the Heaven Dou Empire, without his restraint, Davis can have his hands free and help my sister to target me together."

   "How can I deal with the joint suppression of my sister and Davis alone? It is already very difficult to face my sister alone. If there is another Davis, then I will have no chance of winning and will definitely die."

   Speaking of this, the hatred in Zhu Zhuqing's cold tone became stronger:

   "That coward, his own talent is obviously very strong, he possesses a top-level martial spirit, and he is even a genius with a nine-level innate soul power. It can be said that he is the strongest among the four of us."

   "But he just didn't work hard to cultivate, and even gave up on himself, thinking that there was no hope of winning, and now he ran away."

   "If he hadn't escaped, I wouldn't have fallen to this level and been chased and killed by my sister all the way."

   As he spoke, the chill on Zhu Zhuqing's body could almost condense into ice, and the hatred in his eyes was even more surging, as if he wanted to cut Dai Mubai into pieces.

  Looking at Zhu Zhuqing who was full of resentment and hatred, Ye Qifeng didn't speak out immediately, and let her vent for a while.

   "Then have you ever thought about going to him?"

   After a moment of silence, he asked.

   "Think about it."

  Hearing the words, Zhu Zhuqing's aura instantly slumped, his expression became down again, and he nodded softly with a "hmm":

   "Brother Ye, to tell you the truth, I came to Star Dou Forest this time to find him."

   "I don't want to die, but I really don't have the ability to win my sister. My sister's talent, strength, wisdom, strategy, etc. are all above me, and I can't match it."

   "But with my own strength, I can't defeat my sister at all, let alone Davis watching from the sidelines."

   "If I stay in Zhu's house, even if I am not assassinated to death by my sister, I will also die when my sister turns twenty-five years old."

   "And the only way out I can think of is Dai Mubai."

   "Only by going to the Heaven Dou Empire to find him, following and urging him to practice, and drawing on his talent and strength, can I win a chance and create a future."

   "Of course, the reason why I want to leave Star Luo City is also to stay away from this place of right and wrong, away from the vortex of family conflicts, so that I can be more free."

  After explaining the reason why he wanted to find Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing then described his escape plan to Ye Qifeng in detail.

"More than half a month ago, I cultivated to the bottleneck of the soul master realm - the top twentieth level, and then I started planning, taking advantage of the opportunity of hunting for the second soul ring, to go directly through the Star Dou Great Forest and escape to the Heaven Dou Empire. "

   "Although the time was a bit rushed, my plan was extremely secretive, and I didn't tell anyone else, but for some reason, my sister still saw through it."

   "And because I underestimated the danger of the Star Dou Forest, I couldn't escape my sister's pursuit, and finally fell here."

   "Fortunately, I met you, Big Brother Ye, otherwise I might die."

  Ye Qifeng heard the words, but smiled slightly and said:

   "Actually, even if you hadn't met me, you wouldn't die, your sister would save you."

  Hearing that Ye Qifeng actually said good things for his sister Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing was a little emotional, and his face swelled up:

   "How is it possible? How could my sister save me? She wished that I would die sooner."

   "Brother Ye, you don't know that the injuries on my body are all thanks to her."

Father, like son.

  Zhu Zhuqing didn't see the truth of the matter clearly, nor did she really understand her sister Zhu Zhuyun, and she didn't know her intentions.

   But Ye Qifeng saw something unusual.

  He knew very well that Zhu Zhuyun didn't really want Zhu Zhuqing's life, otherwise, Zhu Zhuqing's injuries wouldn't all avoid the vital parts of his body.

  Zhu Zhuyun still cared about his sister Zhu Zhuqing very much.

   As everyone knows, before he just touched Zhu Zhuqing's body, Zhu Zhuyun scratched him hard.

   If you want to say that you don't care, it must be a lie.

  But no matter what, even if Zhu Zhuyun had his own difficulties and had to target Zhu Zhuqing, and cared about Zhu Zhuqing in his heart, it also brought her great harm.

  Ye Qifeng didn't have much to say.

  He shook his head, did not continue to talk about Zhu Zhuyun's question, and instead said:

   "Then what are you going to do now?"

   "Based on your current strength, let alone traveling through the Star Dou Great Forest, even if you go to the Heaven Dou Empire through normal channels, you may not be able to arrive successfully."

   "The outside world is much more dangerous than you imagined. You, a pretty girl, walking outside alone is a very dangerous thing."

   "Besides, the Zhu family may not let you go."

  Zhu Zhuqing sighed:

   "Brother Ye, you are right. I am too weak. With my current strength alone, I cannot go to the Heaven Dou Empire by myself. I have to become stronger."

   "So I plan to return to the family, continue to practice, and increase my strength."

  Ye Qifeng glanced at her, a little surprised that she offered to return to the family:

   "Aren't you afraid that your sister will attack you?"

   "Not afraid."

  Zhu Zhuqing shook his head, his face was cool and serious:

   "In the family, my sister will not kill me, she dare not, at most she will use some means to make things difficult for me."

   "The family has rules that do not allow members of the clan to fight privately to kill."

   "As long as I don't leave the family, my life will not be in danger. I will try my best to avoid meeting my sister and not give her a chance to embarrass me. Then I will concentrate on cultivation and strive to improve my cultivation."

   "In the family, I can obtain some cultivation resources. Although there are not many, they are better than outside."

   "When the strength is sufficient and the time is right, I will make a good plan, and I will definitely be able to successfully reach the Heaven Dou Empire next time."

   Sure enough, he still wanted to rely on Dai Mubai, that lewd tiger.

  But it is understandable.

  Zhu Zhuqing is still young now, with limited vision and insights, and insufficient talent and strength, so he can only pin his hopes on Dai Mubai.

   It's a pity that Dai Mubai, that obscene tiger, didn't cultivate well after fleeing from Xingluo to the Heaven Dou Empire.

   Instead, they spend their days and nights outside, willing to degenerate, lingering among women, unable to extricate themselves.

  You are already a veteran of flowers in just a teenager, can you believe it?

   Also burdened with the fate imposed by the family, Dai Mubai can be romantic and unrestrained outside, so happy.

  But Zhu Zhuqing could only do his best to survive.

  Bearing a miserable fate at a young age, he was forced by his family to be bound to others.

  How worthless.

  Ye Qifeng stared at Zhu Zhuqing's serious face for a while, then smiled and asked:

   "Zhuqing, haven't you thought about breaking free from the shackles of the family, getting rid of the cage, and changing your own destiny?"

  Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip, first nodded slightly, then shook her head:

   "I think, but I can't do it. This is the family rule, it is my fate, and it is a fate that cannot be escaped."

  Ye Qifeng laughed and said:

   "Zhuqing, you have to know that rules are made by people. Since they are made by people, then they will go wrong. Similarly, they can also be changed."

"Just like the competition between you and your sister, and the marriage contract between you and Dai Mubai, it was imposed on you by others, not your will, so it is wrong and can be corrected, naturally It’s not the so-called fate.”

   "Rules are made by people. They can go wrong, they can be changed, they can be corrected? The rules of the family, aren't they their own destiny?"

  Zhu Zhuqing whispered, repeating Ye Qifeng's words, trying to chew and understand the meaning.

   This is the first time she has heard someone tell her that the family rules are wrong, and the so-called fate is also wrong.

  At this moment, she seemed to be enlightened and opened the door to the world.

"in addition."

  Ye Qifeng went on to say:

  "Fate is never fixed, it is not static, but you need to fight for it yourself."

   "Zhuqing, have you ever heard a sentence?"

   "What words?"

   Zhu Zhuqing asked subconsciously.

"I control my own life!"

  Ye Qifeng smiled slightly and explained:

   "This is the famous saying of a **** with three heads and six arms."

   "It means that as long as you are strong enough, strong enough that you can break the shackles of fate, strong enough that you can change the rules, or even make rules, then you can control your own destiny, and even God can't do anything to you."

  Looking at Zhu Zhuqing who was in shock with wide eyes, Ye Qifeng said softly with a gentle smile on his face:

   "Zhuqing, I know that you really yearn for freedom in your heart."

   "It's just that in this world where strength is the most important thing, if you want to be free, you must have great strength."

"As long as your strength is strong enough, so strong that no one can be your opponent, and so strong that everyone fears you, then no one will be able to restrict your freedom. The world is so big that you can go anywhere, and no one dares to treat you Talking nonsense, pointing fingers."

  Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful black eyes were wide open, as if there was a glimmer of light in them.

  Ye Qifeng's words almost touched her heart.

  If she could, she certainly didn't want to be a candidate heir of any family, and she didn't want to be the head of the family, let alone conclude a marriage contract with that coward Dai Mubai.

   Compared to power and status.

  She is more eager for freedom, and more eager for a carefree, free and unfettered life.

   Instead of being caught in the endless struggles and dangers of the family like now, unable to control one's own destiny, and may lose one's life at any time.
