Yu Qing lifted the carriage curtain and gazed at the gradually clearer outline of the city walls in the distance, pondering the next steps: first, rest for a day in Heaven Dou City to replenish supplies, and then head straight to Sunset Forest to find Dugu Bo.
Inside the carriage, Duan Xin and Zi Ruyi were snuggling together, seemingly more prone to fatigue since becoming pregnant. A Rou carefully covered them with a light blanket, her pink eyes gleaming with gentle light.
However, this tranquility was soon shattered by the noise and cries coming from ahead.
Yu Qing frowned slightly and signaled the driver to slow down. Ahead, on the side of the road, seven Spirit Masters dressed in identical uniforms and with fierce expressions were surrounding a pair of twin sisters who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old.
The two sisters were dressed in rags, their faces covered in dust, but their beautiful features were still discernible. They were huddled together, shivering, their eyes filled with despair.
The leader, a burly man with a scarred face, was Spirit King, grinning maliciously as he reached out to grab the sister's arm: "Run! Why aren't you running anymore? I spent so much money to buy you, and you think you can just run away?"
"Please, please, let us go... We're willing to be your slaves..." the younger sister pleaded, her voice choked with sobs.
"Serve like a slave? Heh, I bought you all to sell for a good price! Behave yourself and you'll suffer less!" Another Spirit Master, a tall, thin Spirit Ancestor, yelled impatiently at Dao, his spirit ring already glowing.
Yu Qing's gaze swept over the twin sisters, and he wanted to look away— the Douluo Continent was a dog-eat-dog world, and such things were not uncommon. He was not a savior; ensuring the safety of his two pregnant wives was his top priority.
But just as his gaze was about to leave, a faint golden light flashed in his eyes ( Eye of Fortune passive triggered). The Luck pillars above the sisters' heads were a rare sight—black mixed with hints of grayish- brown!
"The black Luck … signifies that they were destined for greatness, but this gray Death Qi … is a sign of an early death? And it's so intense…" Yu Qing's heart stirred. These two sisters had remarkable talents. If they could overcome this tribulation, their future would likely be limitless.
It's such a pity that they perished here.
He was just about to ask A Rou to help when he unexpectedly—
"stop!"
A sharp shout rang out like a thunderclap, and a pink figure leaped out of the carriage like Gui Mei, instantly appearing between the group of slave hunters and the twin sisters!
It's A Rou!
Her face was frosty, and her pink eyes burned with raging anger, especially when she saw the desperate and helpless look in the sisters' eyes, a feeling of empathy and anger instantly overwhelmed her.
She had once almost become prey for humans, and the fear and despair she felt were something she would never forget!
"Where did this woman come from? Daring to meddle in the affairs of our Black Serpent Slave-Hunting Team?" Scarface Spirit King was initially startled, but when he saw that the newcomer was just a delicate-looking woman, he immediately revealed a lewd smile. "Tsk, she's not bad looking at all. If we catch her, we can definitely sell her for a high price!"
The other slave hunters also let out lewd laughter, flashing their spirit rings as they surrounded A Rou.
A Rou's eyes flashed with murderous intent; he didn't bother with any words. Titled Douluo's terrifying pressure descended like a tangible mountain!
"Seal... Titled Douluo?!" The smile on Scarface Spirit King's face froze instantly, replaced by extreme fear, his voice trembling. The other team members' legs went weak, almost collapsing to their knees!
But A Rou did not give them a chance to beg for mercy; her hatred for slave hunters ran deep in her bones!
A flash of pink light appeared, and A Rou's figure weaved through the group like a teleportation device. Her movements were as graceful as a dance, but every wave of her hand and every finger gesture carried deadly power.
"Pfft!"
"Snap!"
"ah--!"
With a few short screams and the sickening cracking of bones, the seven once arrogant slave hunters fell to the ground like straws being cut down. The leader, Spirit King, attempted to resist, unleashing his Fifth Soul Skill, but A Rou casually slapped him, shattering the Spirit Ability aura like a bubble, leaving a transparent hole in his chest.
The whole process was so fast it was dazzling. In just a few breaths, the seven people who were just arrogant and domineering had all turned into cold corpses, lying haphazardly by the roadside.
A Rou floated back to her original spot, her skirt untouched by a single drop of blood. The frost on her face softened slightly as she turned to the stunned twin sisters, her voice gentler: "It's alright now, the bad guys have been dealt with. You can go now."
However, the twin sisters did not leave. Recovering from their extreme fear and shock, their two almost identical, clear, bright eyes stared intently at A Rou, filled with adoration, gratitude, and an indescribable fervor.
The two sisters exchanged a glance, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding, and suddenly lunged forward at the same time, ignoring the filth on the ground, and knelt down in front of A Rou with a "plop"!
"Benefactor! Please take us as your disciples!" The older sister raised her head, her voice firm, though tears still clung to her face, her eyes were unusually stubborn.
"Please! We'll do anything! We don't want to be bullied anymore!" The younger sister followed suit, kowtowing, her voice trembling with tears, yet equally resolute.
A Rou was taken aback by this sudden request to become their apprentice and quickly tried to help them up: "Get up quickly, I don't take apprentices. You're free now, go home quickly."
"We have no home!" Tears welled up in the older sister's eyes again, her voice choked with sobs. "Our village was destroyed, and our parents… We were kidnapped by bad people… We have nowhere to go!"
The younger sister also cried, "Our benefactor is so powerful, please teach us skills! We don't want to be like this again, at the mercy of others!"
The two sisters knelt on the ground and refused to get up, as if they would stay kneeling until A Rou agreed.
A Rou was at a loss for words. She was always straightforward and had no idea how to handle this kind of persistent pleading.
At this moment, Yu Qing walked over. He turned his gaze to the twin sisters and observed them closely. The two sisters looked extremely similar, both with oval faces, big eyes, and skin that was somewhat rough due to long-term travel, but they had a good foundation and a rare, delicate beauty between their brows.
"What are your names? What kind of Spirit are you?" Yu Qing asked Dao gently, while a faint golden light flashed in her eyes once again.
The older sister looked up at Yu Qing. Although she didn't know what his relationship with her benefactor was, she still answered honestly, "My name is Ling Xin, and my younger sister's name is Ling Mou. Our Spirit... is our body."
"Body?" Yu Qing's heart skipped a beat. It was actually body spirit!
He reached out and placed his hands on the two women's shoulders, saying gently, "Don't be nervous, unleash your Spirit and let me see."
Ling Xin and Ling Mou exchanged a glance, seemingly hesitant, but seeing Yu Qing's gentle and encouraging gaze, and A Rou's tacit approval beside them, they finally nodded.
The two sisters closed their eyes simultaneously, focusing their spirit power.
The next moment, Yu Qing's pupils contracted sharply, and for the first time, an expression of disbelief and shock appeared on her face!
Ling Xin, the elder sister, had a faint glow on her forehead, and a strange spiritual fluctuation emanated from her. Her eyes became increasingly deep, as if they could see into people's hearts. Meanwhile, Ling Mou, the younger sister, suddenly had bright eyes, her pupils transforming into transparent glass, shimmering with wisdom and insight, as if they could see through all the illusions of the world!
This is not a simple body spirit at all! It is an extremely rare twin spirit!
"The main body plus the brain! The main body plus the eyes!" Yu Qing exclaimed in shock, her voice trembling slightly.
He knew all too well what this meant! The brain and eyes—these were practically the most supreme and mysterious aspects of the body and spirit! Spirit Masters possessing such Spirits were all absolute Geniuses in the mental realm; once they matured, their terrifying power far surpassed that of attack systems of the same level. Spirit Master!
But don't forget, they also have a body called Spirit.
No wonder their luck is so peculiar, black with a hint of deathly gray! Such talent, if discovered by a powerful force, would either be nurtured with great effort or nipped in the bud! And falling into the hands of a slave-catching team would mean certain death!
A tremendous surprise overwhelmed Yu Qing! These were like two priceless treasures fallen from the sky!
He forced down his excitement, his face regaining its composure, but his tone became incredibly solemn: " A Rou, those two, we must take them with us!"
A Rou was somewhat surprised by Yu Qing's strong reaction, but she had absolute trust in Yu Qing and nodded: "Yes, it's up to you."
Yu Qing looked at Ling Xin, who was still kneeling on the ground. Ling Mou said in a deep voice, "Get up. We can take you with us and teach you cultivation, but whether you can become my Discuss depends on your future performance and Heart-Nature. Are you willing?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Xin and Ling Mou's faces lit up with immense joy, as if they had been saved from a desperate situation! They immediately kowtowed vigorously, saying, "We are willing! We are willing! Thank you, our benefactor! Thank you, sir!"
"Just call me Yu Qing." Yu Qing helped them up, and seeing the renewed hope in their eyes, a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
I never expected to receive such a huge surprise before even entering Heaven Dou City. These twins, possessing top-tier body spirits, will definitely be among the strongest under his command with a little training!
Even... looking at their beautiful and charming appearances and exceptional talent, another thought quietly crossed Yu Qing's mind—perhaps, in the future, they too could become...
He shook his head, suppressing his thoughts for the time being. Right now, he needed to get into Heaven Dou City first.
"Let's go, let's enter the city first." Yu Qing gestured to the driver to continue on their way, then said to Ling Xin... Ling Mou Dao, "Go to the back of the carriage and tidy up a bit, change into some clean clothes."
Watching the two newly adopted sisters obediently follow behind the carriage, Yu Qing felt increasingly pleased.
