This day.
Light rain fell on Eaton City.
Zhu Zhuqing, her black hair cascading down, emerged from her room, stretched lazily, and yawned:
"Aunt Tang, it's raining outside. I want to catch up on some sleep today."
Aunt Tang outside the door didn't suspect anything.
She nodded gently and reassured her, "Sleep then. With me guarding here, no one will disturb you."
"Good."
Zhu Zhuqing closed the door.
With practiced ease, she removed her nightgown.
Quickly donned a set of ordinary clothes.
Quietly opened the window.
Extended her jade-like hand and touched the autumn rain.
Then.
Taking a deep breath.
She quietly activated her spirit ability, her form gradually becoming invisible, and leaped down, landing lightly and gracefully on the street.
"This time, I must thoroughly investigate the enemy's situation in Heavenly Star City."
Zhu Zhuqing's breath was fragrant as she blinked her beautiful eyes, her gaze determined.
Zhu Zhuqing believed in her heart that she was not a vase.
But rather a sharp sword!
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
By understanding the enemy army's leadership and total troop numbers.
The possibility of victory would greatly increase.
She wanted to prove to her father that she was a qualified member of the Nether Civet family!
What Zhu Zhuqing didn't know was.
Behind her, two seemingly casual pedestrians quietly glanced at her, then vanished into the darkness.
...
Heavenly Star City.
"This Zhu Zhuqing really is incredibly bold."
Ye Tian, having heard Thirteen's report, showed a smile.
Ye Tian truly hadn't expected that Zhu Zhuqing would dare come to Heavenly Star Province.
Could it be that in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, the most dangerous place was also the safest place?
Thirteen beside him asked tentatively, "Should we continue surveillance?"
Ye Tian chuckled softly. "She's already delivered herself to our doorstep. If we don't close the net now, it would be inexcusable."
Zhu Zhuqing had sneaked over this time.
Without any expert protection by her side.
Correspondingly, Heavenly Star City didn't just have the North Star Squad, but also Sea Witch, Gu Yue Na, and other Titled Douluo.
Never mind Zhu Zhuqing coming alone—even if she came with two Titled Douluo-level bodyguards, what of it?
She still wouldn't be able to escape.
"What are you discussing?"
Just then, Xiao Bai walked over with a puzzled expression.
She held an exquisite package in her hand, waving it in front of Ye Tian and licking her lips:
"Do you have any more instant noodles?"
"The two packages distributed to me were both secretly taken by Sister Sea Witch."
Xiao Bai's pretty face showed seven parts resentment and helplessness.
When instant noodles were distributed, Xiao Bai initially didn't care, thinking they were just ordinary noodles.
After she inadvertently tasted them and discovered how delicious instant noodles were.
The instant noodles were already almost gone.
With great difficulty, she had managed to grab a few packages based on her strength.
Unexpectedly, Sea Witch had seen them.
And then, her instant noodles were gone.
Yet she had only eaten one package!
Xiao Bai was somewhat frantic.
"Perfect timing. There's a spy in the city. Help me catch her."
Ye Tian beckoned with his finger.
"Oh ho." Xiao Bai smiled broadly, extending her right hand with five slender fingers and waving them. "Five packages of instant noodles."
"Deal." Ye Tian smiled cheerfully, readily agreeing.
Xiao Bai was too easily satisfied.
She only asked for five packages of instant noodles.
Trading five packages of instant noodles for a Titled Douluo's intervention was truly a bargain.
The North Star Squad had been monitoring Zhu Zhuqing's movements all along.
Under Thirteen's guidance, Ye Tian soon arrived outside the Thorn Legion's training ground.
From afar, he could see Zhu Zhuqing in plain clothes, standing intermittently at a high vantage point, glancing toward the training ground.
Her left hand occasionally extended as if counting people.
Understanding the context from Ye Tian, Xiao Bai was somewhat surprised. "This is a member of the Shrek Seven Devils who once won the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament?"
"Why does she seem... not too bright?"
Hearing this, Thirteen grinned. "It's not that the opponent isn't bright, but rather that our intelligence work is too excellent."
Indeed.
If not for the North Star Squad tailing Zhu Zhuqing from the moment she entered the city.
With Zhu Zhuqing's current disguise, it would be difficult to discover she was a spy.
After all, civilians frequently wandered around the training ground.
And Zhu Zhuqing had undergone training; both her clothing and complexion were disguised.
She looked like just an ordinary country girl.
Xiao Bai flexed her wrists, stepping forward. "It's been a long time since I've had a chance to act."
"But dealing with a Spirit Sage should be no problem."
She leaped up.
Like a swimming dragon, her toes touched the ground in succession, rapidly approaching Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was recording the rebel army's training situation, suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
Following that.
Came the rustling sound from behind, growing louder.
This was the sharp hearing from the Nether Civet spirit!
An enemy was approaching!
And their cultivation was not low!
Zhu Zhuqing reacted quickly.
Without thinking, she released her spirit.
Her soft waist bent down rapidly, her calf muscles exerted force.
Bang!
Her body rotated one hundred eighty degrees, rapidly retreating backward.
Crash!
A wall of condensed water curtain fell.
Smashing a large crater in the originally flat ground.
"Nice moves. You actually managed to escape my attack in the first moment."
Xiao Bai clapped her hands, her eyes full of admiration.
"Who are you?" Zhu Zhuqing broke out in cold sweat, her gaze vigilantly fixed on Xiao Bai.
Just now, if she hadn't dodged in time.
If struck by that water curtain.
Even if she didn't die, she would likely be severely injured!
"You can call me Xiao Bai, or you can call me Demon Spirit Great White Shark."
Xiao Bai said leisurely.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's expression still confused.
Xiao Bai tapped her forehead, somewhat helplessly:
"Or to put it another way, I'm called Xiao Bai, and I'm Ye Tian's friend."
"Ye Tian??" Zhu Zhuqing suddenly became alert, looking around.
Sure enough.
Five hundred meters away, she spotted a handsome figure.
Though her vision was somewhat blurry due to distance, Zhu Zhuqing recognized at a glance that it was Ye Tian!
Zhu Zhuqing was completely baffled, murmuring, "Isn't Ye Tian the Imperial Preceptor of Heaven Dou? How could he appear in Heavenly Star City?"
"You can ask him that question yourself." Xiao Bai said with narrowed eyes.
Having said that.
A jade hand came forth.
"Water Curtain Light and Shadow!"
Splash splash splash.
The crisp sound of flowing water gradually formed around Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai gently waved her hand down.
The water instantly surged like a rushing river toward Zhu Zhuqing.
Seeing the nine spirit rings rising from beneath Xiao Bai's feet, Zhu Zhuqing was shocked and alarmed, but with things as they were, she still braced herself to resist.
Exerting her spirit power with all her might.
She created several afterimages.
Using this to confuse Xiao Bai.
"Have you heard of overwhelming ten techniques with one force?" Xiao Bai narrowed her eyes.
Her spirit power output suddenly increased greatly.
The surging water curtain also rapidly expanded.
Not only did it engulf Zhu Zhuqing, but even the afterimages she created were swallowed up!
