Zhuqing (MS) who was in Martial Soul fusion state and running around the room excitedly suddenly remembered, she was not in her adult body, but a kid's body which she was unaccustomed to.
She panicked and tried her very best to slow down, but in the end she accepted her fate and was about to crash.
But suddenly without her input her body moved in a different direction, alarmed she saw where she was going and grew even more restless but then she saw Hanrui open his arms.
The next thing she knew, both herself and Hanrui crashed on the sofa on top of each other.
Hanrui on the sofa while she rested in his arms.
Zhuqing (MS) realising what happened buried her head in his chest, feeling embarrassed.
'I forgot, Rui-ge had control and panicked, ugh, will Rui-ge scold me for my recklessness now?' She thought while hiding her face in his chest.
"Little rascal, did you forget it's a Martial Soul fusion technique? Or did you think I don't have any control over it?" Hanrui teased.
Zhuqing (MS) stayed silent in embarrassment, but hit his chest with her right hand lightly then escaped back into the Martial Soul space, letting the little Zhuqing out.
Zhuqing looked at Hanrui with a confused expression.
"Brother Hanrui, the hug is nice but why am I in your arms?" She asked.
Hanrui stared at her in surprise. "Qing'er, you don't know what happened earlier after you switched with your other self?"
Zhuqing nodded in affirmation.
Hanrui instantly understood what happened and smiled as he ruffled her hair.
'Qing'er, you silly woman, do you really have to run away like that?
And it seems you are trying to protect your younger self from your past, Good job.' He thought.
Zhuqing (MS) as if sensing his thoughts replied in her mind.
'Hmph, if I won't run away, should I have to wait until you're done teasing me?
And of course I will protect my younger self. I'm not Zhu Zhuyun who tried to kill her own sister.'
"It's nothing, Qing'er, we were just testing the Martial Soul fusion technique and your other self, unaccustomed to your young body, couldn't control herself and was about to crash, so I intervened." Hanrui replied.
Zhuqing's eyes lit up as she heard him mention Martial Soul fusion.
She quickly got off of him and checked her body that is covered in light armour with stars in her eyes.
"So pretty."
She touched the armour pieces one by one and felt joyful at the touch.
Then she noticed a problem and frowned.
"Brother Hanrui, where have my claws gone?" She asked with a tilt of her head, with an absolutely confused face.
Hanrui pinched her cheeks, seeing her act so adorable.
"Check your belt." He said, pointing to the protruding dagger handles on each side in the cat faced buckle.
She looked at her belt and saw the daggers and instinctively crossed her arms and withdrew both the daggers in a reverse grip.
Her cat tail swayed left and right as she started playing with the daggers.
Duke Zhu, who froze from shock, recovered at this moment and saw his daughter playing with the daggers and muttered.
'Is this really Martial Soul fusion? Then what is our family's Martial Soul fusion? An overly grand imitation used for a festival?
That speed, Zhuqing just showed, is at least as fast as a Soul Ancestor.'
He took a second look at his daughter and her Martial Soul fusion state and thought feeling giddy.
'At this rate, what is the competition between the younger generation? Zhuqing can slice the entire younger generation of the Dai family before they could even blink.'
But then he quickly grounded himself.
'No, no, I shouldn't build castles in the air, I should properly test her strength.' He thought and called out to her while using Martial Soul possession to increase his defence just in case.
"Zhuqing, attack me."
Zhuqing turned to her father with a questioning look on her face.
"It's just to test your Martial Soul fusion ability." He reassured her.
Zhuqing nodded and took a posture of attack then the next second she disappeared on the spot and appeared before her father, the dagger in her right hand slashing at his chest.
Duke Zhu, who was prepared to only use the strength of a Soul Ancestor, got surprised and quickly adjusted his strength to match a Soul King, only then was he able to dodge to the side.
But the dagger in her left hand came at him the next second, he instinctively pushed her aside with a palm strike to her abdomen but still got grazed by the blade.
A drop of blood fell from the wound and a black mass appeared on the wound refusing to let it heal.
Zhuqing, who lost her balance, was about to steady herself and pursue when she noticed the blood and stopped.
'Huh? Was I so strong? I can even make father bleed?
Isn't he a Soul Douluo? Did he reduce his defence to test my attack strength?' She thought.
Just as she was thinking, the armour in her body abruptly turned into soul power, one part leaving her body and traveling to Hanrui the other merging back into herself, returning her back to her normal self.
The sudden dispersion of her Martial Soul and the Martial Soul fusion state made her lose balance, making her fall to her butt.
