Dugu Muyou was a little nervous and touched Yuehua Diamond on her forehead. She had felt that Dugu Zhong wanted to kill her. At least he was going to do it for a moment. But thankfully, he kept his sanity at last. Dugu Muyou did not feel lucky because she was uncertain that if he would kill her for some purpose without any hesitation.
"It was Daddy indeed." Dugu Muyou held up Blood Fox and started to check if it was fine, "Daddy wanted me to lose to Dugu Piaopiao tomorrow. I said no and he wanted to punish me for it."
"What?"
Dugu Muyou said it in a calm voice but it struck her as loud as thunder in Dugu Qinglan's ears.
"How could he..." Dugu Qinglan understood why he did it before she finished her words, "But Piaopiao almost got you killed! He not only did not give justice to you but also defended her!"
Dugu Muyou felt relieved after she found out that Blood Fox was fine. She said to Dugu Qinglan, "Don't be angry about this. I have thought it through. He wanted me to lose but I won't. There is nothing he could do about it."
Dugu Qinglan wanted to say something. Instead, she looked at Dugu Muyou with sympathy.
The two sisters chatted for a while and then left the room.
At night, Dugu Muyou fell into a sound sleep after finishing her cultivation.
Dugu Muyou got up and washed as soon as the sun rose. She was going to cultivate for a while as usual but there was a strange noise coming from outside. It was like somebody was sneaking around.
In her last life, she had been a professional killer. Dugu Muyou was quite sensitive to these kinds of noise. She stood up immediately, walked by the window without making any sound, and peeked through it.
A man in a grey cloth was sneaking around by the wall. He seemed rather careful and intentionally avoided those servants who got up early. It was an ordinary-sized man, seeming agile, grasping something wrapped in a blanket.
Dugu Muyou stared at the sack for a while. She could not judge what was in it. But according to the man's sneaky behavior and custom, she guessed that this man had stolen something.
In a flash, the man had walked away. Dugu Muyou opened the window and chased after him. Usually, she was the one who needed to sneak in, and now she became the chaser. It felt good. Dugu Muyou thought so in her mind and quietly kept up with the man. She wanted to play cat and mouse.
The man seemed to be very familiar with this residence. Although he had to avoid the guards and servants who needed to work in the morning, he was still very fast. In a moment, he came to somewhere secluded in the residence and started to run.
"Huh?"
Dugu Muyou was surprised to see that this man was so fast that he came to the edge of the walls in a flash. She speeded up and chased after him because he was about to leave the residence. She must hurry.
Once got out of the residence, the intruder speeded up again and the distance between Dugu Muyou and him became wider and wider.
Dugu Muyou frowned and wondered, "Are the thieves in this world all this fast?" She could barely catch up with the thief even at her maximum speed. At first, she was just trying to have some fun and catch the thief. But now, she was serious.
Could a thief run so fast be an ordinary person? Of course not. Then the thing he had stolen might not be money. It must be something hard to get.
Dugu Muyou hid with her maximum speed. The thief found out that someone was chasing him so he ran even faster. They were like two hurricanes passing by.
They had run for two hours and Dugu Muyou looked serious. After such a long time, she still couldn't catch up with him. This man was like a machine that never stopped running and wouldn't get tired.
The two of them had run into a mangrove forest. They were running so fast that they were far from the residence.
Dugu Muyou looked at the sky and realized that she was no match to this man in terms of speed. If she kept chasing, she might miss the trial. When the gate of Trial Hall closed and she did not enter, she would lose her chance. Dugu Muyou realized something wrong. What if this man was stopping her from taking the contest?
Thinking of this, Dugu Muyou slowed down her speed and determined not to chase this mysterious man anymore. It did not matter if he was a thief who had stolen treasures or anything else. The most important thing now was the trial.
The man did not stop and grasped the bag tightly in his hand.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
A wail burst out from the sack in the man's hand. Dugu Muyou was stunned and there was anger burning in her chest like fire.
It was the voice of Dugu Lengying. Although the voice that came out from the bag was unclear, she still knew it was him.
In the past few years, this kid had been her spiritual support. He would not despise her or bully her. As a matter of fact, this kid loved hanging out with her.
Dugu Muyou turned over and continued to chase that man. It was Dugu Lengying! She could not just stand there and do nothing about it!
Dugu Muyou yelled, "Show yourself and put that boy down!"
"Is it sister Muyou? Help me! Please help me!"
The man said nothing. He just kept running. After about half an hour, Dugu Muyou still couldn't catch up with him.
Her heart was aching. She had never felt this helpless ever since she came to this world. The man was really fast and Dugu Muyou could do nothing.
As time passed, the man seemed to slow down a bit. Dugu Muyou was excited because she knew that he might have reached his limits. With the help of Yuehua Diamond, she didn't need to worry about the lack of spiritual qi. She could run forever at this speed.
She got closer and closer. Dugu Muyou sneered at the figure ahead of her and determined to punish him when she caught him. He was finally within an attackable range. A black spark appeared in her hand and it shot right at the man with amazing speed.
The man was obviously too tired because he could barely dodge it. Dugu Muyou stepped up a few paces and shot a few more black sparks which left the man in a dangerous situation. It was at this time, she jumped up and kicked right at his neck and successfully kicked him down the air.
A string of spiritual qi shot out like a rope and rolled up the sack in his hands. The man tried to resist and there lit a blue light trying to defeat the black sparks.
"Blue rank?" There was a smile on Dugu Muyou's face, "Such a low rank. I can kick your a*s!"
The black string of spiritual qi grabbed Dugu Lengying and flew back immediately. The man tried to stop her but could only flee under her attack.
Dugu Muyou let Lengying out of that sack and he immediately hugged her. There was a blush on his cheeks because he had stayed too long in that sack. He was so cute and stared at Dugu Muyou with trust. He showed no sign of horror or intimidation after being kidnaped.
Dugu Muyou laughed and said, "You are so calm."
"Because I knew you would take me back, Sister Muyou."
Dugu Muyou felt a warmth in her heart. This little fellow held her tight in the neck and his body temperature could be felt clearly by her. She threw Dugu Lengying on her back and yelled, "Hold on. I will catch that bastard and you could beat him whatever you want."
"Ok! Come on, Sister Muyou! I have grabbed you tightly!"
Dugu Lengying hugged her neck and his legs hooked on her waist. His entire body leaned on her.
Those at blue rank were no match to her now. She had no worries after successfully saved Dugu Lengying. So, she had thrown all kinds of spells at the man and defeated him within a second.
She stepped on the man's belly and said to Lengying, "You may come down now."
Dugu Lengying let go of his hands and legs and jumped down on the ground. He was also a cultivator, so he remained his balance when he jumped on the ground. Dugu Lengying came over to the man and kicked him hard a few times.
"How dare you kidnap me. This is your payback. My families will kill you."
Dugu Lengying kept kicking that man but he did not even try to struggle. He seemed to have accepted his fate.
This man looked strange and Dugu Muyou said, "Lengying, take off his mask."
"Mask?"
Dugu Lengying looked at that man's face with confusion and grabbed on his face. He grabbed something rather like a fabric or a skin.
"This is..."
Dugu Lengying stared at it and wondered. It looked exactly like a handkerchief but it was apparently not made of fabric.
"This is a spiritual weapon that could alter your face." Dugu Muyou looked at the handkerchief and then checked who he really was. She was stunned, "How could it be you?"
Dugu Lengying heard her words and looked at the man. His mouth opened widely out of surprise, "B-brother!"
The man on the ground was exactly Dugu Lengying's brother, Dugu Haoyu.
Dugu Haoyu was the eldest son of Zhao Xue. He had a square face, small eyes and thick lips. He looked ordinary and so was his talent in cultivating spiritual qi. His mother didn't like him because he was not smart. Especially after Dugu Piaopiao was born, less and less attention was given to Dugu Haoyu. He became even more invisible in front of his mother, Zhao Xue.
Maybe it was because he could not get the attention of his mother, Dugu Haoyu was obedient to his sister. He would do whatever his sister asked. However, this behavior was encouraged by his mother and she treated him better ever since.
"Why did you do this?" Dugu Lengying was outrageous, "Where did you want to take me? It was stuffy in the bag! Don't you know it feels terrible inside?"
"He doesn't know it because he has never been in it," Dugu Muyou stared at Dugu Haoyu, "Is this another idea of Dugu Piaopiao? I can see she's really afraid of confronting me in the contest that she came up with so many plots. She first seduced and made Dugu Ziteng seriously injured and then tried to kill me. Now she tried to lure me away by k********g Lengying. But What a pity."
Dugu Muyou looked at the sky, "If you could run for another half an hour, I might actually miss the trial."
Dugu Haoyu did not say anything. He didn't even dare to look at Dugu Muyou and Dugu Lengying. There was remorse in his eyes.
"Brother! Answer my question!"
Dugu Lengying was in shock and looked very serious. He stared at Dugu Haoyu, looking rather disappointed. Yes, He was kidn*pped by his own brother, which was after all unbearable.
Dugu Muyou rubbed his head, "This was not your fault. They wanted to stop me from taking the trial."
