--- Chapter 87 ---

Zhu Zhuqing lightly breathed a few times and firmly looked at Yunlong with her black eyes. "Yunlong, Can you help me?" She said.

"Help you?" Yunlong observed her determined expression with an amused feeling in his heart because he didn\'t expect her to request something like this.

Even though he forgot about a few characters in this world, Yunlong still pretty much remembers Zhu Zhuqing\'s life story.

"Are you sure that you want my help? I mean, we only meet a few minutes ago." Yunlong said with a weird expression on his face.

"Also, I\'m not even that strong to help you, you know" He lied as easily as he breathed, but it didn\'t even waver Zhu Zhuqing\'s gaze at him.

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head a little and released a sigh. "No... It doesn\'t matter if you are strong or not." She calmly replied.

"I simply want you to help me." Then she calmly added, which piqued Yunlong\'s interest for a moment.

Yunlong calmly looked at Zhu Zhuqing\'s black eyes and suddenly covered his mouth to hide a smirk on his face, but a few chuckles escaped, which confused her.

"Yunlong...?" Zhu Zhuqing tilted her head.

"Sure, I will help you," Yunlong suddenly said, which brightened Zhu Zhuqing\'s eyes.

Zhu Zhuqing was about to say something, but the maid suddenly ran toward them and immediately smiled at her. "Young lady, your bath is ready," she said.

"I will tell you more later." Zhu Zhuqing said while giving Yunlong a nod and walking away from them.

"Please escort my savior to the living room." She quietly instructed while giving the maid a calm gaze.

"Leave it to me, young lady!" The maid cheerfully responded.

She silently watched Zhu Zhuqing\'s back for a moment and shifted her gaze to Yunlong, which made her immediately change her expression.

"Follow me..." She coldly said while walking toward the house.

\'She doesn\'t even hide it, huh.\' Yunlong thought while pondering about something.

He followed the maid and noticed her face is somewhat similar to Zhu Zhuyun\'s former maid. \'I see, so that\'s why?\' So Yunlong thought.

Not only does Zhu Zhuyun want to know anything about her younger sister, but she also wants to sabotage her because only one of them could live to gain the royal position.

\'That\'s also why the guards weren\'t on her side.\' Yunlong thought while thinking about how cunning Zhu Zhuyun is.

They entered the house, and a casual-looking room with black carpets, a few couches, and a table in the middle, immediately welcomed them. "This is the room." The maid said.

"Young lady will be here in a few minutes, so don\'t touch anything until she comes." She continued with a stern expression on her face, but Yunlong blatantly ignored her as he already sat on the couch.

"Okay..!" Yunlong responded by waving his hand at her and slowly looked away from her to observe the room.

Yunlong\'s behavior because she had never seen a guest who is so discourteous in someone\'s house.

\'Just where did that gloomy girl found this rude lad.\' She blatantly thought while gritting her teeth, unaware that Yunlong can easily read her mind using telepathy.

\'I will report this to young lady Zhuyun.\' She continued while walking away from the room, unknown to her; when she reported Yunlong to Zhu Zhuyun, it would trigger something in that girl\'s head.

"She didn\'t even ask me if I wanted a drink or not," Yunlong shook his head in disappointment and gave her a minus point as a maid.

The maid, who can hear Yunlong\'s words, only coldly snorted at him. "Hmph! Suit Yourself." She responded.

As the maid went away, Yunlong rested his head on the couch and closed his eyes. \'Gloomy girl, huh.\' He thought.

A few minutes later, Zhu Zhuqing entered the room with slightly wet hair. She wore new clothes, a black adorned robe with a cat head symbol on the chest area.

\'Yunlong, he fell asleep?\' Zhu Zhuqing thought while looking at Yunlong, who naturally rested his head on the couch.

She approached him and looked closer to his face, but Yunlong suddenly opened his eyes, which startled her. "You finally come..." He said while releasing a small yawn.

"I-I\'m sorry." Zhu Zhuqing responded with a stutter while sitting on the couch in front of Yunlong.

"No, it\'s okay. I just became a little bored." Yunlong smiled at him, which made Zhuqing feel bad for him.

"Now, should we continue our talk?" He added, to which Zhuqing responded with a nod.

Zhu Zhuqing explained her plan and proposal to Yunlong, to which he slowly listened. Finally, after a few minutes of talks, she stopped and hopefully stared at him.

"So... Simply put, you want me to take you away from this place," Yunlong said while staring at Zhu Zhuqing, who firmly nodded her head at him.

"I don\'t want to stay in this place anymore..." Zhu Zhuqing quietly answered while remembering her family tradition, where she needs to kill her older sister to gain the royal position.

"I, I can\'t live in this place anymore." She continued while lowering her head and hugged her hands, which trembled for some reason.

Yunlong quietly observed her face, and he can tell that she wasn\'t lying about anything she said to him, but that doesn\'t mean he would immediately agree to her request.

"By the way, you never gave me your name?" Yunlong broke the tension, making Zhu Zhuqing immediately raise her gaze at him.

"Ah, right. I never tell you my name." Zhu Zhuqing said with a slightly flushed expression.

She calmed herself down a little and said, "My name is Zhu Zhuqing."

"Zhu Zhuqing, that\'s a beautiful name." Yunlong reacted with a smile on his face, which made her somewhat embarrassed again.

"Is that so..." Zhu Zhuqing quietly responded with a soft voice and did not realize that her ears had become slightly red.

Yunlong also somehow imagined a cattail waving behind her back when she was embarrassed. \'She is a catgirl. A shy one, to be exact.\' He thought.

"Well, about the payment." Yunlong suddenly said, to which Zhu Zhuqing suddenly reacted by grasping his hands.

"I can pay you with gold coins! If you didn\'t want that, I would do anything, as long as you bring me out of this place." Zhu Zhuqing stated, which put a weak smile on Yunlong\'s face.

\'This is way too smoother than I expected,\' Yunlong suddenly thought as he only has to do a few things to gain her trust.

"Anything?" He asked with a little unsure.

"Anything. E-Except for sensual acts." Zhu Zhuqing sheepishly responded.
