Led by Xue Xing, escorted by hundreds of armored soldiers, Bone Douluo followed near the carriage, eyes scanning all directions, ears alert, never daring to slack off.
Because of the large group, their progress was slowed. What would normally take a day or two to reach Tian Dou City ended up taking about one and a half times longer.
It was still the first day of travel, and the surroundings were relatively peaceful. Who would be foolish enough to try ambushing Ning Rongrong right after she left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
It should be noted that now a Title Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could reach them in just an hour or two.
Only someone extremely foolish would attempt an ambush at this moment.
The soldiers assumed as much, and the relaxed atmosphere made them slightly careless. However, Xue Xing's smile was strained, unable to hide the excitement.
He had just received word: after finishing this mission, he might be able to live directly in the Martial Soul Hall, no longer needing to care about the old man Xue Ye's moods.
But Xue Xing had no intention of leaving empty-handed. He already knew that Xue Ye had a particular fondness for a certain civilian soul master.
Because the person's body was failing, and fearing joint persecution by the queen and concubines, Xue Ye had kept them inside the city. Now that Xue Xing was leaving, he would just "appreciate" the person on Xue Ye's behalf. Heh heh heh.
Xue Xing no longer cared about his so-called royal brother. If his royal brother wanted his life, he wouldn't acknowledge him either.
After being suppressed for years, having to tiptoe around Xue Ye and Xue Qinghe constantly, it was time for Xue Xing to play with the "little lovers" of his royal brother.
Those women raised by his nephew? Wasteful. He wouldn't use them; he, Uncle Xue, would "properly appreciate" them.
Suppressed for years, living with constant fear, every step having to avoid traps set by Xue Ye and Xue Qinghe…
Now, with the Martial Soul Hall secured, he fantasized about hanging them all on the walls, to witness his own grandeur and might!
Xue Xing Prince muttered to himself when suddenly, the lead soldiers stopped, leaving everyone confused.
"Someone's trying to kidnap her! Fire the signal flare!"
At that moment, a soldier's scream came from ahead. Looking up, a bear paw several meters wide descended from the sky.
It crushed several of the lead soldiers entirely, human and armor alike, like an iron-tipped hammer.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Prince Xue Xing, fire the signal flare! Request immediate support from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"
The lead commander tried to fire a flare but realized his signal flare had inexplicably disappeared. Staring at that terrifying paw, his heart sank halfway. He dashed toward Xue Xing's carriage.
After all, Xue Xing also had a flare.
But Xue Xing had already vanished.
Bone Douluo appeared in the air, scanning the surroundings and using his spiritual power to detect the assailant.
Yet his spiritual power could not locate anyone in hiding.
"Ninth Soul Skill – Savage Bear's Wrath!!"
Suddenly, a pair of bear paws radiating destructive energy appeared behind Bone Douluo—a sneak attack!
Boom—
Bone Douluo, just having manifested his Martial Soul, was immediately slammed into the ground by the terrifying force, leaving a one-meter-long crater.
Nearby soldiers were crushed as well, unable to dodge in time.
"Seventh Soul Skill – True Martial Soul!"
"Eighth Soul Skill – Rampaging Bear!"
"Sixth Soul Skill – Savage Body Gravity!"
Seizing the opportunity, the assailant layered three soul skills, leaving Bone Douluo no room for resistance.
They didn't worry about killing him outright—at worst, with his level and the bone dragon Martial Soul already manifested, he'd just be out for a year or so.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing, in the form of the Phantom Shadow Cat, emerged from Ning Rongrong's shadow and stood beside her, who was still stunned.
"What are you doing?!"
Ning Rongrong came back to her senses, looking at the familiar yet strange shadow, a mix of unease and hope in her eyes.
She did not want to return to the royal palace. If she could leave—even if it meant death—it was far preferable to being imprisoned for life under some pretext by the royals.
"Rongrong, it's me, Zhuqing."
Zhu Zhuqing did not reveal her face, but spoke to reassure Ning Rongrong.
Though it was somewhat unnecessary—Ning Rongrong was already calm, resigned to fate.
"Zhuqing!"
Upon hearing her name, Ning Rongrong's dim eyes brightened. She reached out hesitantly, touching the familiar figure.
Hmm, a little bigger in size, but it felt the same. Zhuqing had grown a bit.
Now was not the time for such observations. Ning Rongrong suddenly said with concern:
"Zhuqing, you need to leave quickly. Outside, Grandfather Bone is stationed, along with hundreds of soldiers. If we delay any longer, it will be too late."
Zhu Zhuqing was Ning Rongrong's closest friend. She didn't know how Zhuqing had learned about her situation, but she didn't want to drag her friend into danger.
"No need to worry. Bone Douluo is probably asleep by now," Zhu Zhuqing said, taking Ning Rongrong's hand confidently.
"Rongrong, close your eyes. I'll lead you out."
Sensing the worry in her eyes, Zhu Zhuqing added: "Relax. We now have protection. I will keep you safe."
For Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong was also her only true friend. Both had grown up friendless, met at Shrek Academy, and were shunned there.
Shared experiences made them deeply attached, relying on each other. Now Zhuqing relied on the broad shoulders of Qian Xunfeng.
"Okay."
Ning Rongrong, no longer thinking about surviving the palace, trusted Zhu Zhuqing's confidence and agreed.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes glimmered with a hint of purple. After a year of training, she was now a Soul King and manifested her fifth soul ring.
Soon, their figures slowly transformed into shadows, merging with the ground, leaving Ning Rongrong amazed.
"Wow! Zhuqing, your soul skill is insane!"
Seeing Zhuqing suddenly appear before her, Ning Rongrong's eyes shone with wonder, then she bowed her head shyly.
Zhu Zhuqing noticed her low spirits. Not knowing that Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul had been disabled, she assumed she was merely sad.
She didn't try to console her—she'd leave that to Xunfeng.
Having gotten used to calling him "Xunfeng Brother," even in superiors' presence, Zhu Zhuqing preferred it, bringing her a peculiar joy.
Though they left quietly, the lead commander saw Bone Douluo embedded in the ground, immovable, and frantically searched for Xue Xing.
"Prince Xue Xing, fire the signal flare!" ×3
After shouting three times with no response, he panicked, moving through the chaotic soldiers while calling out.
"Don't panic. Everyone, gather around the carriage. Protect the future princess's safety."
Thus, hundreds of soldiers quickly surrounded the now-empty carriage.
The lead commander scanned for Xue Xing, furious.
He had given the flare to Xue Xing because he was afraid of dying. But Xue Xing, terrified, had run off with it.
