Chapter 6: The Branded God Clan

  "Why is it like this? Why is it like this? Why is it like this!" Su Qi Ruo was tossing and turning on the bed, hugging her quilt, unable to understand why she cared so much about Lu Ke being with other girls. Clearly, she and Lu Ke had nothing going on, clearly she wanted to escape Lu Ke's grasp, clearly it was none of her business who Lu Ke interacted with, so why did she care so much? Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable!

  "Could it be that I like him?" Su Qi's mind had just formed this thought when she abruptly interrupted herself, she absolutely would not like Lu Ke, absolutely not, absolutely not! She was thinking of escaping his clutches! She was thinking of escaping his clutches! Su Qi repeatedly hinted to herself.

  "Qi Ruo, someone is looking for you."

  "Oh!" Su Qi rubbed her temples with a vexed expression, shook her head dazedly and walked out of the bedroom door. "Who are you?"

  Su Qi thought that if she didn't know this lovely girl in her social circle, with a small melon-shaped face, sparkling big eyes, and tender cherry lips, even when not smiling, it seemed to bring a full smile, just looking at her for a moment made people want to get close to her, "I don't think I know you..."

  The girl smiled brightly at Su Qi Ruo, "I was entrusted by someone to bring you to a place, come with me."

  "Who's so bored? " Su Qi asked in puzzlement, "Where are we going?"

  "It's just nearby, not far." The girl replied sweetly.

  "... Su Qi couldn't bear to refuse this lovely eleven or twelve-year-old girl, but she really couldn't think of who would be so bored as to do something so mysterious and secretive. Since it was nearby, why not go take a look? "Let's go."

  The little girl skipped ahead, leading the way, and turned back to Su Qi with a sweet smile every three steps. Her cute and lovely appearance greatly improved Su Qi's mood, and she let herself be led by the little girl like this. Suddenly, Su Qi found herself being taken to the place where Lu Ke had transformed before. How did they end up here? "Little beauty, where is the person you were talking about?"

  The little girl suddenly turned around, her face still smiling but clearly revealing a ferocious expression. Such an eerie smile made Su Qi's heart skip a beat. "You..." Su Qi quickly retreated, realizing she might have been deceived. Just as she was thinking this, a black shadow suddenly flashed before her eyes. "Boom!" A violent whirlpool swept up Su Qi and sent her flying far away. "Ah!" Su Qi screamed. "Hmm? So soft?" Su Qi opened her eyes to find herself being held in Lu Ke's arms.

  "Who?"

  "Idiot!" Lu Ke scolded, putting Su Qiruo down and shielding her behind him.

  Su Qi only now discovered that two women were already standing opposite her, one was the little girl who had brought her over, and the other was...the girl who had been with Lu Ke earlier! That girl's delicate face, a look that invited sympathy and affection, seemed to have stepped out of a 2D world. Nowadays, even young girls are so stunning? Each and every one of them is making this senior female student feel inadequate?

  "Master Lu, why are you being so stubborn? You're protecting her like this, making it difficult for our master. Before you came, our master had already acknowledged her, that's why she was able to live a carefree life these past few years. What you're doing now is undoubtedly disrupting the rules." The girl's soft voice made one's bones feel three parts tender.

  "Grandpa has taken a liking to her, if you have the ability, let him come and fight for her, otherwise get out!" Lu Ke's face remained unchanged, but his aura cooled by 30%.

  "Lu Ke! You're asking for trouble doing this!" The little girl didn't have any of her cute appearance left, glaring at Lu Ke with malice and a hint of threat in her tone.

  "Get out!" Su Qi Ruo's eyes flashed and felt as if something had flown out from in front of her, then the little girl flew far away. It seemed to have flown out from in front of me, could it be a weapon? How was it so fast? Su Qi Ruo's gaze swept back and forth over Lu Ke's body, but didn't seem to find anything special.

  "Didn't the Qi family teach you any manners? I'll teach you some in their place."

  "Lord Lu, calm down." The girl didn't even look at the little girl who had been thrown out, and said calmly, "Since Lord Lu has decided to do this, I can only report the truth to our master. He will be back soon." Although the girl's tone hadn't changed at all, Su Qi felt that her words seemed like a warning.

  After saying that, the girl turned around and disappeared. The little girl who had just flown out also got up, glared at Lu Ke with a vicious look, and left.

  Two people left the original boundary and disappeared, everything returned to calmness. "Can I ask you a few questions?" Su Qi's gaze was piercing as she stared at Lu Ke.

  "Say."

  "What does it mean that he has already recognized me? Guaranteed me a carefree life for these few years?"

  "How many times have you been attacked since you inherited the awakening?"

  "That time." It was that one time you attacked me!

  "There is a branding on your body by other demons, this branding indicates that you are already someone's possession, if other demons see it they will naturally avoid and not provoke you, unless they encounter a demon more powerful than the one who branded you."

  "How about you?"

  "Not bad," Lu Ke said with some pride.

  "Branding?" Su Qi checked his body casually, "Where did the branding come from? When was it done? Why don't I know about it? Why did he brand me?"

  "The inherited power within you has not fully awakened yet. It's best to obtain your spiritual power after all of your powers have fully awakened."

  "Is it just that you're going to fatten me up before eating me?" Su Qi asked, seemingly unhappy. These demons were really good at plotting.

  "Almost." Lu Ke nodded.

  "And also, why do they call you 'Grandfather'? What is your status in the Demon Clan?"

  "We'll talk about this later." Lu Ke's patience was worn out by Su Qi, and his tone was also very impatient. "Can you not run around randomly in the future? What's the use of having a brain?"

  Su Qi was stunned for a moment, didn't expect Lu Ke to change so quickly, and complained, "Who would have thought that such a lovely girl is actually a demon!"

  "Humans are always deceived by appearances." Lu Ke's discerning eyes sized up Su Qi Ruo, "Are you or aren't you a divine being? You don't have the air of a divine being at all."

  "I... then you say it's not? You're the clearest! Cut!" Su Qi casually tossed her head and slowly returned to the dormitory.

  Back in the dormitory, Su Qi lay on the bed, repeatedly recalling what had happened today. If it wasn't for Lu Ke today, would she have been hurt? Or taken away by those two girls? No wonder Lu Ke always followed her, did he already know that someone was going to attack her? But Lu Ke can't always be by her side, she should become stronger herself, being the Water God with a long inheritance, how could she be easily harmed? It seems like she needs to focus on studying the water control technique. Also, from their conversation, it seemed that someone with the surname Xing had put a mark on her, Xing, what a strange surname. Will that person with the surname Xing appear in her life after a while? Don't want to! One Lu Ke is already annoying enough, if another Xing comes, her days will be over. Sigh! Being a god isn't easy either! Especially being a hunted god.
