--- Chapter 89 ---

In the skies, Yunlong, who activated his flight ability, carried Zhu Zhuqing like a princess, and both of them quietly gazed at her house, burning with fiery golden fire.

Even though this house is full of memories, none of them were particularly memorable, except for her meeting with a blonde boy, which unfortunately brings out a bitter taste to her mouth for some reason.

\'I wonder, what is he doing now..?\' Zhu Zhuqing suddenly thought but immediately shook her head off because remembering him doesn\'t help her much.

"Are you okay?" Yunlong asked while looking at Zhu Zhuqing, who silently gazed at the burning house with a peaceful expression.

Zhu Zhuqing shifted her gaze to Yunlong\'s face and was mesmerized by his reddish-black eyes for a moment, which seemed to stare at the depth of her soul.

"I\'m okay..." Zhu Zhuqing quietly responded with a nod.

Zhu Zhuqing doesn\'t know why, but her body was trembling for a moment after staring at Yunlong\'s eyes. Then, she hurriedly calmed herself down by taking a few deep breaths, which made her accidentally inhale Yunlong\'s scent.

\'It\'s very comfortable...\' So Zhu Zhuqing thought while hugging Yunlong\'s neck and hid her flushed face on his chest.

Yunlong was aware of her doings but then shook his head and decided not to say anything because he thought she was just sad.

"Hold me tight," Yunlong instructed Zhu Zhuqing, who only quietly gave him a nod.

He immediately flapped the golden wings and then moved through the skies faster, which made the girl in his arms shiver a little because of the wind that came to hit them.

Yunlong created a layer of a translucent windshield using his spirit energy to cover them and immediately stopped any winds that came toward them. "T-Thank you..." Zhu Zhuqing muttered with closed eyes.

"You\'re welcome." Yunlong calmly responded while slightly lowering his flying speed.

As they went away, a group of black-hooded men immediately appeared in the scene, and each of them had a solemn expression on their faces.

"Check the area..."

They nodded their heads and immediately dispersed into the shadow, searching for any evidence to be found.

One of them stopped and looked at the burning house with a frown on his face. "Did you find Young Lady Zhu...?" He asked the other black-hooded man beside him.

"No, I can\'t find her presence." The other guard responded, which deepened the frown on his face.

The black-hooded man raised his hand, and a giant-sized water ball appeared in the air, which he immediately threw to the burning house.

"Keep searching..." He instructed, "Even if she is dead, we need to find her body."

The other guard nodded his head and closed his eyes to sense any presence in the area.

--- Zhu Zhuyun\'s Residence ---

The maid, who used a hidden passage, arrived inside Zhu Zhuyun\'s residence with a solemn expression on her face.

\'I have to tell Lady Zhuyun...\' She quietly thought while pushing some rock on the wall, which immediately revealed a secret entrance into the kitchen\'s room.

As soon as she entered the room, some maids\' voices greeted her, and she immediately frowned about what they were saying.

"Have you heard that Lady Zhuyun got injured by a powerful spirit beast\'s attack!"

"Eh? What happened to her, I was on my cleaning duty, so I don\'t know."

\'Lady Zhuyun...\' She immediately rushed toward the second floor with a worried expression on her face.

When the maid arrived there, a man in his early twenties, came out of the room. "Doctor, what is Lady Zhu\'s condition." She asked.

"She\'s fine... I told her to take a rest for a few days." The doctor calmly replied while walking away from the second floor.

The maid hurriedly bowed her body to show her respect and released a sigh of relief because her lady seems to be okay. \'Should I tell her now about that rude boy..?\' She contemplated a little.

After thinking about it for a while, she decided to tell her lady about it because her journey would be pointless if she doesn\'t tell her anything.

She walked to Zhu Zhuyun\'s room and knocked on the door a few times. "Lady Zhu, It\'s me, Rong Xi." She said.

"R-Rong Xi..." Zhu Zhuyun\'s weak voice came out of the room, which quickly alerted Rong Xi because she had never heard her voice to be so soft.

"Lady Zhu, can I enter the room? I have some news about your sister." Rong Xi said that Zhu Zhuyun reacted by breathing a few times to calm herself down a little.

Ever since Zhu Zhuyun woke up in her room, she cannot forget about Yunlong. Not only that, but she also cannot tell anyone about him as her mouth seems tightly closed every time she tries to talk.

If she tried to even think about him, her whole body would immediately be trembling, and her head feels like it\'s about to explode for some reason.

\'He isn\'t here. Calm down.\' Zhu Zhuyun thought with trembling hands.

"Rong Xi, you can enter." She said while looking at the door, which got opened by her loyal agent maid.

Rong Xi entered the room and looked at Zhu Zhuyun, who calmly sat on the bed with a pale complexion.

"Young lady, are you okay? You look so pale." Rong Xi approached her with a worried expression, but Zhu Zhuyun responded with a shake of her head.

"I\'m okay..." Zhu Zhuyun quietly replied, but she suddenly felt her head heavy because Rong Xi made her remember about Yunlong.

"Tell me about Zhuqing," She continued while slightly clutching the bed cover.

Rong Xi nodded her head and proceeded to tell her about Zhu Zhuqing\'s activities recently, but when she was telling her about a rude boy who came with her young sister, Zhu Zhuyun abruptly frowned.

"How does he look?" Zhu Zhuyun asked.

"Hmm, he\'s rather tall, but I think he\'s a young teenage boy with black-ponytail, handsome face, and reddish-black eyes... Lady Zhu?" Rong Xi looked at Zhu Zhuyun, who quickly covered herself in a blanket while shivering with fear.

"I, I-It\'s him..." Zhu Zhuyun quietly muttered with a frightened tone, which made Rong Xi confused.

"Arrgh..!" She clutched her head, which seemed to be stabbed by millions of needles.

Zhu Zhuyun didn\'t realize this, but for a moment, her eyes transformed into red eyes with three rotating tomoes. "Don\'t ever tell anyone about that guy!" She abruptly shouted.

"But..." Rong Xi responded with a reluctant expression.

"Rong Xi... Please." Zhu Zhuyun suddenly released tears from her eyes.

"I won\'t tell anyone about him. I would rather die than telling someone about it." Rong Xi declared, which abruptly stopped Zhuyun\'s suffering.

Zhu Zhuyun suddenly fainted and fell to the pillow with a calm expression on her face. "What actually happened...?" Rong Xi whispered in fear.

--------

Meanwhile, a few hundred miles away from Zhu Zhuyun\'s residence, Yunlong and Zhuqin flew toward the star luo city.

"Eh? You never go to Star Luo City?" Yunlong asked the girl in his embrace with a surprised expression.

"Mm, I was trained in that place from 6 years old and never saw the outside world, except for attending a few important ceremonies in my clan." Zhu Zhuqing calmly replied.

"So, this is your first time?" Yunlong once again asked her, to which Zhuqing responded with a nod.

Yunlong pondered something and smiled at her, "Zhuqing, when we arrive there, I will show you something." He said, which made her very excited for some reason.

\'What will he show me...\' Zhu Zhuqing thought with a somewhat eager excitement in her heart.
