Douluo: Why is Qian Renxue not in love anymore?

Chapter 70 Zhu Zhuqing (3)

Zhu Zhuqing was shocked when she heard this, but she did not retreat at all. She gritted her teeth, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and she leaped suddenly, flying towards the ice-blue phoenix where Li Muyun was regardless of everything. The wind and snow were like knives, cutting her skin, but she seemed not to feel it, just relying on her belief in the ultimate pursuit of martial spirits, step by step.

The wings of the ice-blue phoenix flapped lightly, bringing a piercing cold wind, as if even the space was frozen. But Zhu Zhuqing was not afraid at all, she clenched her hands into fists, her soul power surged in her body, and a faint light circulated around her body, which was the embodiment of her unyielding will and firm belief.

"Senior!" Her voice echoed in the wind and snow, with a slight tremor but extremely firm, "Please let me prove to you that my determination and potential will not stop today! I am willing to accept any test, just to follow you and learn the ultimate way of martial spirit cultivation!"

Zhu Zhuqing's figure appeared small and tough in the interweaving of wind, snow and ice crystals. She was only a few feet away from the ice-blue phoenix. The cold wind cut her cheeks like a sharp blade, and every breath seemed to freeze her soul.

However, there was only passion and indomitable spirit in her eyes, her fists were clenched, her soul power was surging, and the faint light surrounding her body seemed particularly dazzling in the extreme cold. It was the expression of her inner fire and a declaration of her perseverance in her dreams and pursuits.

Just as she was about to touch the sacred and inviolable ice-blue phoenix, Li Muyun's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving only a faint trace of cold mist and cold words echoing in the air: "If you can really cross this last distance, I will give you a chance."

Zhu Zhuqing's heart suddenly tightened, as if the coldness of the whole world had gathered at this moment. She looked up at the place where Li Muyun had stood, and saw only an empty space, with only the wings of the ice-blue phoenix slowly flapping in the cold wind. Every flap seemed to split the space and release even more biting cold air. She took a deep breath, and her eyes flashed with an unprecedented light, which was a desire for challenge and self-transcendence.

Without a moment's hesitation, Zhu Zhuqing shot up again, like an arrow shot from a bow, passing through layers of wind and snow, heading straight for the seemingly unreachable ice-blue phoenix. The wind and snow raged around her, and every piece of ice crystal was like a sharp blade, trying to cut her into pieces, but she seemed to have turned into the wind, blending into the extreme cold, and even rising above it.

Zhu Zhuqing's figure drew an unyielding arc in the snowy world. Every step she took seemed to be fighting against the power of nature, but she cleverly took advantage of the situation and moved at a speed that was astonishing. When she approached the last few feet of the ice-blue phoenix, the cold air around her seemed to have turned into a real wall, and every breath seemed to be swallowing up her heat. But the fire in her heart burned even more vigorously, and her eyes flashed with a determined light, like the brightest star in the night sky.

Suddenly, the ice-blue phoenix let out a long, clear cry, and its wings suddenly spread out, releasing a dazzling light that instantly dispelled the surrounding wind and snow. In that light, you could vaguely see complex runes flowing on its wings, containing ancient and powerful power. Zhu Zhuqing's heart was shocked, but she did not retreat. Instead, she stimulated all the soul power in her body, and her body turned into a stream of light, rushing directly into the center of the light.

The moment Zhu Zhuqing rushed into the center of the light, she seemed to have stepped into a strange space where light and shadow intertwined. She was no longer surrounded by biting cold wind and raging snow, but was surrounded by soft and mysterious blue light. She was surprised to find that she was suspended in mid-air, surrounded by slowly flowing blue light bands, as if she was in a vast galaxy. The image of the ice-blue phoenix slowly condensed and took shape in front of her, and its deep eyes seemed to be able to see into the depths of her soul.

Li Muyun stared at Zhu Zhuqing, his deep eyes flashing with complex emotions, which eventually turned into a faint smile: "I said that I don't accept disciples. But your tenacity and perseverance let me see my past self. On this continent, the road to becoming a strong person is lonely and long. You need a good teacher to guide you so that you can avoid detours. How about this, I will recommend a teacher to you. You will definitely gain something if you become his disciple."

When Zhu Zhuqing heard this, a gleam of doubt and expectation flashed in her eyes. She stared at Li Muyun closely, as if she was afraid to miss any word.

"Senior, who is the teacher you are talking about? Could you let me know his name so that I can visit him with respect?" Zhu Zhuqing's voice was soft but extremely firm. Every word revealed her desire for the future and her admiration for the strong.

Li Muyun smiled slightly and said, "Spirit Hall, Seventh Elder, Ghost Douluo, Ghost." Zhu Zhuqing heard this, and a trace of excitement and determination flashed in her eyes. The name of Spirit Hall exploded in her mind like thunder, and Ghost Douluo Ghost was like a ghost in the dark night, which made people feel awe and yearning. Her heartbeat accelerated, as if she could hear the sound of her blood boiling. At this moment, she seemed to see the dawn of changing her fate and even affecting the pattern of the Star-Moon Empire.

What marriage? What royal rivalry? Damn it, why should my own fate become a sacrifice to the royal family?

Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath, her eyes piercing through the wind and snow, as if she had seen the Spirit Hall that was far away but within reach. She clenched her hands into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain, because the belief and desire in her heart had surpassed the limits of her body.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were firm and ardent. She took a deep breath and bowed solemnly to Li Muyun. Her voice was filled with unquestionable determination: "I hope that you can introduce me to the Spirit Hall and become a disciple of Ghost Douluo. Although I know the road ahead is difficult, I have made up my mind to make my own mark on this path to becoming a strong man. Your recognition is the greatest encouragement to me and a beacon on my way forward."

Li Muyun nodded gently after hearing this, with a barely perceptible tenderness in his voice: "Okay, let's go, it's time for me to return to the Spirit Hall. As for you, since you have your heart set on it, I will fulfill your persistence."

After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave, his clothes fluttering in the wind, as if he could blend into the vast snowstorm at any time.

Zhu Zhuqing followed closely, with countless thoughts in her mind. She finally mustered up the courage and asked softly, "Senior, are you also from the Spirit Hall?"

Li Muyun stopped, turned around, and said, "Yes, I am indeed a member of the Spirit Hall."

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were intertwined with determination and complexity. She bit her lower lip lightly, as if she had made up her mind. There was a barely perceptible tremor in her voice: "Senior, before I go to the Spirit Hall, can I ask you for a favor? I want to... meet someone, my fiancé. Why did he leave me at the critical moment all these years? I need an answer."

The wind and snow seemed to be even more violent at this moment, blowing up Zhu Zhuqing's hair. Her eyes flashed with determination and a hint of tenderness that was barely noticeable. Li Muyun heard this, and a flash of surprise flashed across his brows, and then he regained his composure. He was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, since you have this obsession in your heart, I will accompany you on this journey. But remember, no matter what the result is, you must firmly follow your own path."

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes warmed slightly when she heard this, and her gratitude was beyond words. She bowed deeply to Li Muyun, and her voice was full of sincerity: "Thank you, senior. Your understanding and support mean a lot to me."

After she finished speaking, she looked up, her eyes flashing with unprecedented determination and hope, as if she was ready to face everything.

Li Muyun smiled gently upon seeing this. That smile contained both encouragement for the younger generation and nostalgia for the past years. "Lead the way."
