Chapter 20 The Big Cat Ran Away…
"Slap!"
A crisp slap rang out on her face, and Zhu Zhuyun's eyes showed a brief moment of confusion.
She had been slapped in the face?
Slapped by a vixen?
Impossible!
She was the future Empress of the Star Luo Empire!
Second only to the Emperor, her status was incredibly noble.
How could she possibly be slapped in the face by some unknown vixen?
But no matter how much she denied it, the burning pain spreading across Zhu Zhuyun's face reminded her that this wasn't an illusion.
Zhu Zhuyun had a mental battle, but in reality, it was over in an instant.
Looking at that vixen's face so close to hers, Zhu Zhuyun wished she could scratch it a few times with her cat claws.
But Zhu Zhuyun also knew very well that, with her soul power level and martial soul quality completely outclassed, she would definitely not fare well in a direct confrontation with Hu Liena.
Just now, Hu Liena hadn't even revealed her spirit rings; she had relied solely on the suppression of her martial spirit, combined with simple physical techniques, to fight her to a standstill.
Hu Liena, on the other hand, had been highly focused, unleashing several spirit skills, yet she could only barely hold her own. A slight lapse in concentration led to that humiliating slap.
The difference in strength was too great; there was no way she could win!
Realizing this, Zhu Zhuyun immediately abandoned her offensive plans, instantly concentrating her spirit power in her right leg and stomping hard on the ground.
Bang!
The clod of earth instantly burst open, and her figure was propelled backward in that instant.
"Tch! Boring."
Seeing that Zhu Zhuyun hadn't taken advantage of her exposed face to attack, Hu Liena immediately curled her lip.
You see, she had originally planned to slap Zhu Zhuyun's other cheek the instant she attacked.
After landing, Zhu Zhuyun took a few steps back to offset the momentum, then remained vigilant against Hu Liena's attack.
"Heh, seeing how confident you are, I thought you were something special, but is this all? Your strength is clearly no match for your tough talk."
But Hu Liena simply stood there casually, her six tails swaying gently behind her, looking at her with disdain, without pursuing the attack.
When Hu Liena saw Zhu Zhuyun's face clearly, she paused for a moment, then chuckled softly.
"Look at your face, half of it's swollen like a pig's head! Is this your so-called charm that surpasses mine? Master, look! This cat is about to turn into a pig's head!"
As it turns out, the little fox is very vengeful!
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuyun instinctively turned her back to Mu Changge, preventing him from seeing her face. At the same time, she took out a small mirror from the soul tool on her wrist.
She discovered that her left cheek was indeed swollen, which angered her so much that she smashed the small mirror to pieces.
When Zhu Zhuyun turned around again, she had already taken out a black cat-face mask and put it on, completely covering her face. Seeing this, Mu Changge couldn't help but want to complain. Sure enough, loving beauty is a woman's nature! They were just fighting, and now, just because your face is swollen, you're taking advantage of the break to wear a mask to cover it up?
Zhu Zhuyun glanced at Mu Changge first, and seeing that he didn't show any disgust, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, under the mask, only a pair of vertical pupils could be seen coldly staring at Hu Liena.
Zhu Zhuyun's sexy body, like a female leopard, was crouching on the ground—a standard pre-hunt posture for felines, and the same goes for feline soul masters.
"Vixen! You've really angered me! Now prepare to die!"
"Oh? Kill me?" Hu Liena still stood there casually, tilting her head and letting out a sneer. "With your weak strength? You probably only have a slight chance in your dreams."
"Hmph!"
Zhu Zhuyun's upper body crouched even lower, her conscience, which was even larger than Hu Liena's, practically touching the ground.
At the same time, Zhu Zhuyun concentrated all her soul power into her legs, seemingly intending to deliver a fatal blow to Hu Liena with absolute speed.
However, this only managed to straighten Hu Liena's body and slightly raise her guard.
After all, she had entered the battle with anger, but the moment Zhu Zhuyun attacked, she sensed the difference in their strength.
Therefore, Hu Liena refrained from using soul skills, instead toying with Zhu Zhuyun, displaying a level of strength that would make her appear weak and helpless, creating a seemingly "evenly matched" battle.
Even the slap she delivered to Zhu Zhuyun's face was only slightly forceful, without imbuing it with soul power.
Otherwise, Zhu Zhuyun's face would have suffered far more than just swelling; at the very least, disfigurement. Fortunately, the little fox knew its limits, understanding that its master intended to keep this stinky cat as a pet, and thus showed mercy.
Zhu Zhuyun's current stance, as if she were ready to fight Hu Liena to the death, piqued Mu Changge's interest. Could the big cat possibly harm the little fox?
"Die!"
Just as Mu Changge and Hu Liena were intently watching Zhu Zhuyun's movements, something unexpected happened.
Zhu Zhuyun roared and shot off in the opposite direction from Hu Liena…
she ran…
yes, Zhu Zhuyun ran. In her view, with her entire army wiped out, continuing to fight an obviously inferior opponent because of personal emotions would be the most foolish choice.
Returning to the Star Luo Empire, she could use her family's power to securely eliminate Hu Liena and seize Mu Changge—wouldn't that be better than fighting her now?
She could even capture this vixen alive and slowly carve her foxy face with her claws!
Therefore, her angry display of defiance against Hu Liena was merely a show. Only by catching her off guard could she possibly escape Hu Liena's suppression of her martial soul.
Once outside that range, with the Netherworld Cat's top-tier speed, she could almost certainly escape back to the Star Luo Empire!
It must be said, Zhu Zhuyun is indeed a woman of intelligence, unlike some young lady from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who, knowing she was no match for Dai Mubai, repeatedly provoked him.
If it were Zhu Zhuyun, she would probably feign retreat while secretly mobilizing her backing to ensure Dai Mubai's demise.
Zhu Zhuyun's plan succeeded, as she did escape the suppression range of the Six-Tailed Fox martial soul.
However, Zhu Zhuyun also failed, because she never imagined that a casual action she took against Mu Changge would lead to her downfall.
