--- Chapter 126 ---

Yunlong opened his eyes and observed the same skies he saw a few minutes ago, which didn't change in the slightest.

'My neck feels a lot better now.' Yunlong thought while stretching his neck and swimming out of the ice and fire well.

He looked around for a moment and then released a sigh because there is a familiar presence hiding five meters away from him.

"Zhuqing, what are you doing there?" Yunlong said while looking at the giant rock beside the ice and fire well, which is where the catgirl maid hid.

"..." Zhu Zhuqing frowned behind the rock and thought about her stealth, which is still not working under Yunlong's presence.

'I have to train more..' She silently added in her heart.

Zhu Zhuqing slowly walked out of her hiding spot and moved toward Yunlong. "I was observing you." She bluntly said.

"I see…" He responded with a nod.

Yunlong helplessly smiled and looked at the black-haired girl in front of him with a calm gaze.

"Zhuqing, how long have we met with each other?" Yunlong suddenly asked, which caused Zhu Zhuqing to stare at him with wonder in her eyes.

"Two years. It's been two years since you saved me from that place." Zhu Zhuqing firmly answered while confidently staring at him.

She remembered exactly when Yunlong saved her from a tiger spirit beast and defeated it with one punch.

Not only did Yunlong take her away from that prison-like place, but he also gave her freedom, which she had never had when childhood.

'I also felt comfortable on his side…' Zhu Zhuqing suddenly thought while looking at Yunlong.

Yunlong, who noticed Zhu Zhuqing suddenly became melancholic, chuckled a little, and patted her like she was a good girl, which caused her to purr silently in delight.

"Are you excited to see the city?" Yunlong asked, to which Zhu Zhuqing responded with a nod.

"Mhm," Zhu Zhuqing nodded her head.

"I see, let's go then, my training is done after all," Yunlong responded with a smile while thinking about his ego's spiritual form.

They walked away from the ice and fire well, moving slowly toward the training house.

Boom!

On the way to the house, an explosion noise suddenly rang out and caused both of them to sigh.

"How many times did they fight already?" Yunlong asked while looking at the flying flame crow and bright yellow lightning in the skies.

"Hmm, yesterday they didn't fight.." Zhu Zhuqing thought about something for a bit.

"So it should be their 1376th fight." She confidently continued with a nod because usually Yu Ning'er and Bai Xue would use her as a referee.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't have a problem being a referee because she could observe her fellow maids' movements and attacks, finding their weaknesses in case they would fight in the future.

Their residence in the star luo city also needs to be repaired frequently because of Yu Ning'er and Bai Xue, so fighting in a non-civilian area like a forest would be perfect for them.

"Let's watch them," Yunlong said while shifting his gaze to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Okay." Zhu Zhuqing lightly nodded her head and they walked toward the training house's backyard.

When they arrived there, Chu Xiaoyu, who sat on a bench and played around with her icy sword, looked at them with a calm expression.

She tapped the area around her, indicating them to sit and enjoy the fight scene, which is not surprisingly being refereed by Chu Yunxi.

Yunlong and Zhu Zhuqing naturally sat beside her and shifted their gaze on the two maids, who stood in front of each other with their martial souls.

In the yard, which had already become a battlefield, Chu Yunxi slightly took a peek at Yunlong, who just arrived, and waved her hand at him.

"Well, are you two gonna continue?" Chu Yunxi asked while shifting her gaze to the two young maids, who released slightly heavy breaths.

"YES!" "YES!"

Yu Ning'er and Bai Xue declared at the same time while their bodies were flared with spirit energies.

"Very well, second round then." Chu Yunxi nodded her head in understanding and raised her right hand to the air.

"Fight!" She swung her hand down and the two maids moved forward toward each other.

Bai Xue flicked her hand and the broom in her hand danced around with a bright yellow flame.

"Burn." She muttered, causing a giant flame crow to appear and spread its wings in the air.

Yu Ning'er only sneered and threw her thunder spear toward the crow, disappearing from the yard with a flash of yellow lightning.

CAAAA!

The flame crow released a cry and tackled the thunder spear with its burning body, but then Yu Ning'er suddenly appeared and caught her martial soul.

"Discharge, Full Burst." Yu Ning'er grasped the spear and pointed it at the flame crow.

A giant ball of electricity appeared on her spear tip and released a rumbling noise like it was about to explode.

"GO AWAY BIRD!" Yu Ning'er shouted and a loud explosion occurred.

BOOOM!

The flame crow disappeared in the blast of lightning ray and Bai Xue wasn't happy about it because to create a single flame crow, she had to use 10% of her spirit energy.

"Whatever." She nonchalantly commented while swiping her broom on the ground.

The broom brushed the ground and a spark of yellow flame appear, burning through the area around them.

The flame spread at a fast rate and Yu Ning'er frowned a little because Bai Xue was definitely scheming something right now.

They shifted their gaze on each other and Bai Xue grinned at Yu Ning'er.

"Ascending Wave..!" Bai Xue's broom flared with a yellow flame and a giant wave of flame burst out of the ground.

KASSSH!

Sizzling noise echoed through the yard, which basically had melted because of Bai Xue's attack.

'Come at me, sparky rat.' Bai Xue pointed her broom at Yu Ning'er while standing inside of the burning land.

Yu Ning'er couldn't help but twitch her mouth in annoyance for a moment because clearly this attack is using a lot of spirit energy and Bai Xue set a trap for her.

'But, I don't care, I just had to destroy it!' Yu Ning'er thought while throwing her spear to the skies, disappearing again from Bai Xue's view.

Yu Ning'er looked down on Bai Xue and released a significant amount of electricity from her body, which caused armor-like lightning to cover her.

"Silent Heart." Yu Ning'er grasped her spear that fell from the skies and closed her eyes.

Bai Xue observed Yu Ning'er with a solemn expression because it looked like she was about to become serious.

She raised her broom horizontally in front of her chest and muttered, "Burning World."

"One Heart, One Spear Strike." Yu Ning'er opened her eyes and the thunder spear released violent yellow lightning.

The flame was ascending and the lighting was falling from the skies.

Two attacks met with each other and when contact occurred, the area around them became silent for a moment.

.

Ting! BOOOOM!

A power explosion noises occurred and the area around them got swept out by lightning burst and a flame storm.

"Cold Wind.." Chu Yunxi calmly chanted and the area immediately got swept out by a chill breeze, which neutralized the cause of the two maids' attacks.

"Hmm, these two girls are really energetic." She casually commented with a gentle smile on her face.
