Douluo protects our spirit hall

Chapter 377 Fengxian's life experience, Zhuqing's awakening

Actually.

Fengxian's age was not much different from Zhu Zhuqing's, also more than nine years old, but in terms of height, he was a little taller.

Her body development is not as exaggerated as Zhu Zhuqing's, but it should not be underestimated. It is much better than ordinary girls of the same age.

It's definitely not as normal as Zhu Zhuqing thought.

Zhu Zhuqing retracted the envy in his eyes, and reluctantly withdrew his eyes from Fengxian's chest, turned to Fengxian's equally immature but somewhat delicate and gentle face, and apologized in a cold voice:

"Sorry, this saber-toothed tiger was killed by me, I'm afraid you won't be able to absorb its soul ring."

Fengxian tightened the straps of the small bamboo basket on his shoulders. Hearing this, he turned to look at the saber-toothed tiger lying on the ground.

At this time, the saber-toothed tiger had died, and a circle of bright yellow spirit rings quickly formed above the corpse, floating in mid-air.

This sabre-toothed tiger spirit ring has a lifespan of about five or six hundred years, and it is indeed very suitable as her second spirit ring.

If she can absorb this spirit ring, then she can successfully break through to level 21 and become a more admirable great spirit master.

In this way, she can go to Wuhun Hall to receive more monthly sacrifices for soul masters, and she and her mother can live a better life without being so tight.

It's a pity that she didn't kill the saber-toothed tiger.

She couldn't absorb this spirit ring.

A gleam of regret flashed across Fengxian's eyes, and it disappeared quickly. She waved her hand at Zhu Zhuqing:
"Although it's a pity, it doesn't matter. I didn't come here to hunt for spirit rings, so you don't need to apologize."

"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you for your help. If it wasn't for you, I might have lost all my strength."

Hearing Fengxian thanked herself in turn, and said that she might lose with all her strength, Zhu Zhuqing was slightly startled, with some doubts in her heart, and carefully recalled the battle just now.

From Fengxian's fierce fighting style like a demon god, it is impossible to see that she is exhausted.

I always feel that Fengxian should still have spare energy to use. Even without my own help, I believe that saber-toothed tiger can't do anything to her, right?

Zhu Zhuqing thought about it, and said truthfully:

"You're welcome, I just saw this saber-toothed tiger with good defense, and I felt a little itchy. I just wanted to try my newly acquired second soul ability."

"Even without my shot, with your ability, that saber-toothed tiger is no match for you."

Fengxian smiled softly and didn't say much.

She can indeed deal with that saber-toothed tiger, but she needs to pay some price.

She is just a soul master with a soul power of level [-], with only one soul skill and brute strength, even if she can defeat the saber-toothed tiger, she will win by a narrow margin in the end, and she is very likely to be injured.

To have Zhu Zhuqing join in and help kill the saber-toothed tiger, for her, it couldn't be better.

This allowed her to avoid an injury situation.

After all, she still has to go home to take care of her mother, so it's not easy to come out, so let's go back with her injured body.

If her mother sees it, it will only increase her worry.

Although he had already realized something before deciding to come to the Star Dou Great Forest, it was naturally the best to be intact.

Therefore, Fengxian was still very grateful to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Your name is Fengxian?"

At this time, a warm and warm voice suddenly entered Fengxian's ears.

Fengxian turned his head and followed the prestige.

I saw two handsome men and beautiful women who looked like gods and couples, suddenly flew down from the branch of a big tree next to them, and came to the front in the blink of an eye.

The man was dressed in black clothes, with a straight figure, a handsome face, and a peaceful and peaceful demeanor, like a good man in troubled times.

The woman is dressed in a slim leather jacket, with an excellent figure, exquisite beauty, heroic charm and elegance, just like a peerless beauty.

It was Ye Qifeng and Nihuang.

And it was Ye Qifeng who spoke.

Seeing Ye Qifeng and Nihuang coming in front of him, Fengxian was surprised, a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes, and he secretly put on a defensive posture.

"Well, it's me."

She nodded first, answered Ye Qifeng's question, and then asked:
"You are?"

"Don't be nervous, we're with Zhuqing."

Noticing the vigilance in Fengxian's eyes, Ye Qifeng smiled, explained, and introduced himself:

"My name is Ye Qifeng."

Then, he stretched out his finger and pointed to Nihuang next to him:
"This is my sister, her name is Nihuang."

With a smile on her face, Nihuang didn't speak, and nodded slightly to Fengxian.

"So it was with Zhuqing."

Fengxian took a look at Zhu Zhuqing, saw her nodding slightly, felt relieved, and let down his vigilance.

"Little sister, why are you here alone, where is your companion?"

Nihuang's red lips parted slightly, and she asked in a lazy tone.

"This... I don't have a companion."

Fengxian smiled shyly when he heard the words, and touched the high ponytail on his head, as if he was a little embarrassed.

"you alone?"

Ye Qifeng looked at her slightly surprised.

"Dare to come to Star Dou Forest alone? You are braver than me!"

Zhu Zhuqing also looked at Fengxian, opened his eyes slightly, and said a few words silently in his heart:

"Although I had the idea of ​​going through the Star Dou Forest, I brought guards with me."

"Now that I have seen the danger of the Star Dou Great Forest, I don't dare to have such stupid thoughts anymore."

"Ah."

Fengxian nodded slightly.

"I see that your soul power has reached the bottleneck of level [-]. You came here alone to hunt down soul beasts and absorb soul rings?"

Nihuang frowned slightly, glanced at the coarse cloth clothes on Fengxian, then put away the laziness and elegance on her body, and asked seriously.

"Ah, I'm not here to hunt spirit rings, I'm here to gather medicine."

Fengxian shook his head, and while talking, he turned sideways, revealed the small bamboo basket behind him, and showed it to Ye Qifeng, Nihuang and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Pick medicine?"

Ye Qifeng, Nihuang and Zhu Zhuqing were shocked in unison.

"Ah."

Fengxian nodded and explained:
"My mother is sick, and very sick, but I don't have enough money to buy medicine, so I can only get it myself."

"I see."

Ye Qifeng, Nihuang and Zhu Zhuqing immediately understood the reason why Fengxian appeared alone in the Star Forest, it was to treat his mother.

At this moment, the three people's perception of Fengxian was unprecedentedly good.

"Aren't you afraid of danger?"

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were slightly different, as if he admired Fengxian's courage.

"I'm afraid, but for my mother, I have to come."

There was some fear on Fengxian's little face, but his eyes were extremely firm.

"You actually know where to pick medicinal herbs? Do you know the knowledge of medicinal herbs?"

Nihuang asked slightly surprised.

"Ah."

Feng Xian hummed and nodded slightly:

"I have read some medical books, know a little about medicinal herbs, and know where some medicinal herbs are collected."

Ye Qifeng was a little surprised that Fengxian knew something about medicinal herbs.

He thought for a while, then asked softly:
"Then have you picked any herbs that can cure your mother's illness?"

"No."

Fengxian was a little discouraged, but after a while, she became happy again, and patted the small bamboo basket behind her:

"Although I didn't get the herbs I wanted, it's good to have these. At least it can relieve my mother's illness a little bit."

Fengxian didn't want to say more about his mother's illness, so he asked instead:
"By the way, brother and sister, and Zhuqing, why did you appear here?"

Ye Qifeng smiled slightly and answered her:
"Oh, we originally planned to leave the Star Dou Great Forest. We passed nearby and heard the sound of fighting. We came to check and saw you fighting with the sabre-toothed tiger. So we asked Zhu Qing to help you."

"So it is."

Fengxian suddenly realized, and thanked again:
"Thank you brother, thank you sister, and thank you, Zhuqing!"

"It's a trivial matter, don't be polite."

Ye Qifeng waved his hand, and then asked:
"Are you going to leave here? Or, stay?"

Fengxian pondered for a moment, then sighed:
"Forget it, let's leave."

"The Star Dou Great Forest is really too dangerous. Going deep here is already my limit. If I go any further, I'm afraid there will be no return."

"My mother is still waiting for me at home, I have to take back the herbs I picked first."

"Since you are leaving here too, why don't you come with us? It's safer."

Ye Qifeng suggested warmly.

Fengxian's eyes lit up.

Next to her, Zhu Qing, who was about the same age as her, was already very strong.

The handsome big brother and beautiful big sister in front of him must be even more difficult. If you leave with them, your own safety will definitely be well guaranteed.

However, Fengxian was still a little apprehensive:
"Really? Can I go with you?"

"of course."

Ye Qifeng nodded affirmatively.

"Let's go."

"it is good."

…………

then.

Under the leadership of Ye Qifeng and Nihuang.

A group of four walked out of the Star Dou Great Forest unharmed and unharmed. They came to a temporary gathering place at the edge of the forest and rented a carriage.

On the way, as the conversation deepened, Fengxian, Ye Qifeng, Nihuang and Zhu Zhuqing quickly became acquainted.

During the questioning of Ye Qifeng and the other three, Fengxian told them about his life experience.

Fengxian, like Zhu Zhuqing, is a native resident of Xingluo City, the imperial city of the Star Luo Empire, and also of noble origin.

But in terms of status, there is a huge difference.

In the Heaven Dou Empire, the classification system is relatively loose, and the citizens are roughly divided into two types, namely nobles and commoners.

The status of the nobility is usually determined by the title, and the competition among the nobility is not too fierce. No matter how high or low the status is, if it is not necessary, they often do not interfere with each other.

In the Star Luo Empire, however, the hierarchy was even stricter. Even the nobles were divided into five levels: low-level, middle-level, high-level, top-level, and royal family.

The status of nobles is not only determined by their titles, but is also closely related to their noble ranks. Coupled with the brutal competition environment of the Star Luo Empire, the political and power struggle among the nobles is almost white-hot.

Therefore, every year, many low-level aristocratic families fail in political and power struggles, are demoted, decline, and even perish.

Zhu Zhuqing was born in the Zhu family of Grand Duke Youming's Mansion, and belonged to the top nobles of the Star Luo Empire.

The Zhu family of the Grand Duke of Youming's mansion is closely related to the Dai family of the Xingluo royal family. There is an in-law relationship between the two, and their status is as stable as Mount Tai.

And Fengxian was born in the military family of the Star Luo Empire, and he was considered a relatively low-level nobleman.

Because the family failed in the cruel struggle in Xingluo and fell, the clan almost died. Only she and her mother were demoted to common people, survived by luck, and depended on each other.

Fengxian is extremely talented. He also entered the Academy of Soul Masters and received a good education. However, due to family changes, his status was changed to a commoner and he no longer enjoyed the rights of nobles. Therefore, he was kicked out of the Academy of Soul Masters.

The competition in Star Luo Empire is so cruel, everything depends on identity, power and status.

Star Luo City is not divided into five districts like Tiandou City, but is divided into three areas, namely the Star Luo Palace, the inner city and the outer city.

The Xingluo Palace is located in the center of Xingluo City, and it is owned by the Dai family of the Xingluo royal family.

The inner city covers the largest area and is the residence of all the nobles. For example, the Zhu family of the Youming Grand Duke's Mansion to which Zhu Zhuqing belongs is located in this area.

As for the outer city, it is the residence of civilians.

It is worth mentioning that poor people and refugees are not allowed to exist in Star Luo City, so in Star Luo City, there is no such dirty and filthy place as slums.

However, the degree of darkness and chaos in the outer city of Xingluo City is no worse than the slums of Tiandou City.

The reason for this is naturally due to the strict and high-handed rule implemented by the Star Luo Empire from top to bottom, as well as the cruel competitive environment.

This also made the residents of Star Luo City more brave, aggressive, and even bloodthirsty than the residents of Tiandou City.

Fengxian's home was originally in the wealthy area of ​​the inner city of Xingluo City, but the family fell behind. The mother who was not a soul master took her and moved to live in the most barren area of ​​the inner city.

With the rest of the family, I can have no worries about food and clothing.

But because of his status, he was still targeted by the nobles in the inner city, and people often came to provoke him and beat him up.

The mother, who suffered successive accidents, was hit hard. Coupled with overwork, the heart muscle was damaged, which led to serious illness, and her savings were spent less and less.

In desperation, the mother and daughter had no choice but to move again and live in the outer city where the law and order was even more chaotic.

Fengxian's situation is somewhat similar to that of Ruiwen back then.

Because he is no longer an aristocrat, Fengxian who lives in the imperial city does not have a soul master academy to go to. Even though his soul power has already reached level [-], he has never obtained a second soul ring.

Without the help of teachers from the Soul Master Academy, and without enough money to hire someone to hunt for the spirit ring, Fengxian's second spirit ring has been delayed until now.

If it wasn't for the treatment of her mother, she would not have gone out of the city alone, trekking through mountains and rivers, walking tens of kilometers to gather medicine in the dangerous Star Dou Forest.

…………

Knowing Fengxian's life experience, Ye Qifeng, Nihuang and Zhu Zhuqing felt a little bit moved and pity.

Especially Zhu Zhuqing.

Originally, she thought that her life experience was miserable enough, but she didn't expect that Fengxian's life experience was much worse than hers.

Listening to Feng Xian's narration of the tragedy of the family's decline, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to realize for the first time the cruelty of the competition among the nobles of the Star Luo Empire.

This was much crueler than the competition between her and her elder sister Zhu Zhuyun.

It can be said that there is more than nothing.

Once the competition between nobles fails, the whole family will be buried with them at every turn, and dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people will lose their lives.

And the competition between her and her elder sister, even if she failed, at best, it only cost one person's life.

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but began to think.

The aristocratic families of the Star Luo Empire competed cruelly with each other for the sake of climbing the ranks, for power, for wealth, and for resources.

And what is the reason for the competition between myself and my sister Zhu Zhuyun?

For the heir qualifications of the family?For the status of Patriarch?For the power, wealth, and resources held by the family?
No, neither, I just want to live well.

These are not what I want.

The competition between myself and my sister was imposed on me by my family, not what I wanted.

However, do the so-called family rules have to be followed?
Is this really my destiny?

The so-called fate is really immutable, can't it be controlled by oneself?
Maybe it should be like Brother Ye said, try to break free from the shackles of the family, get rid of the cage of rules, and change your own destiny.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have some awareness again.

However, before that, I still have to try. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope that I can beat my sister
