Meanwhile,
Ning Rongrong stared blankly at the figure standing behind Zhu Zhuqing, in front of her.
It was just like in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Ye Qiu once again pulled himself behind her, protecting her from the front.
Two scenes overlapped.
Unconsciously, Ning Rongrong's face flushed slightly.
Pouting, she thought to herself: this guy is actually quite reliable; I really didn't trust him for nothing.
At the same time, she reflected:
This friend Zhu Zhuqing was not befriended in vain—truly capable of being her shield.
Dai Mubai watched Zhu Zhuqing, who tilted her face upwards and allowed him to act, his expression dark and unsettled, and begrudgingly withdrew his hands.
In return, he received an even more disdainful cold laugh from Zhu Zhuqing.
Ning Rongrong smiled and gently patted Ye Qiu on the back, both as praise and comfort.
Then she stepped forward and linked arms with Zhu Zhuqing,
giving Dai Mubai a proud smile.
She continued to provoke: "Zhuqing, let's go. We'll have fun in Soto City, and I'll treat you."
Under Dai Mubai's murderous gaze, Zhu Zhuqing nodded.
"Let's go, you dead liar."
Ning Rongrong linked one arm with Zhu Zhuqing, the other with Ye Qiu, and headed outside the academy.
"Zhu Zhuqing! Stop right there!"
"If you dare to go out and fool around with those men, I won't forgive you!"
Dai Mubai roared in place, his eyes wide and fierce, like a tiger choosing its prey.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression grew colder, her steps pausing briefly before continuing to follow Ning Rongrong.
So,this is how she appeared in Dai Mubai's mind?
Truly a dirty thought.
She, Zhu Zhuqing, would never hurt herself for such a lazy, unambitious "rotten cucumber." She couldn't.
Ning Rongrong chuckled to herself.
She glanced happily at Ye Qiu beside her.
The revenge method thought up by the dead liar really was powerful—just by saying a few words, Dai Mubai was already flustered.
Ye Qiu's dark pearl-like eyes flicked at the smug Ning Rongrong.
He chuckled silently.
This little witch was pretty clever, and hadn't messed up.
"You damned wench!"
Dai Mubai trembled with anger, unsure whether to curse Ning Rongrong or Zhu Zhuqing.
His face twisted, afraid that his hair might really turn green, he could only huff and puff silently, following behind.
Ye Qiu's black pearl eyes shifted as he noticed Dai Mubai, but he remained expressionless, letting Ning Rongrong lead him toward Soto City.
The three walked along a rural path.
During this time, Zhu Zhuqing also learned the destination of their trip.
"Ye Qiu, weren't you with Tang San? What's that teacher of his like?"
Ning Rongrong was very curious about the master.
In Ye Qiu's memories, she had not seen much about Yu Xiaogang.
Ye Qiu shook his head calmly:"Not much."
"Huh?"
Zhu Zhuqing was a little surprised.
She had high expectations for this so-called theoretically strongest and most intelligent soul master.
But Ye Qiu seemed unconcerned about the master.
"You dead liar! Can't you be a bit more detailed? Quickly tell me everything!"
Ning Rongrong pouted, her beautiful eyes flashing with annoyance, glaring at Ye Qiu.
Zhu Zhuqing also looked forward to his explanation.
"Alright."
Ye Qiu nodded slightly.
"Specifically—"
"In terms of strength, he's only a level twenty-nine Great Soul Master. His soul is similar to a pig beast, and his soul skill is… farting. He needs to eat white radish to charge it, and can only use it three times a day."
"Ye Qiu, you're not lying to me, are you?"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's soul skill, Ning Rongrong's face twisted slightly in disgust, looking at Ye Qiu suspiciously.
"Why would I lie to you?"
Ye Qiu frowned, confused.
Ning Rongrong snorted lightly: "Hmph, haven't you already lied to me enough times?"
"Do I really need to lie about something like this?"
Ye Qiu rolled his eyes at her, and a dark light flashed in his hand, merging their minds for a moment.
Ning Rongrong realized it too late.
She was still holding hands with the dead liar beside her, and panicked slightly. Quickly letting go, her face flushed as she regained composure, her eyes showing a trace of disdain.
"How can someone's soul skill be this disgusting… farting? Is it meant to stink out the enemy?"
Zhu Zhuqing frowned as well.
She lifted her delicate hand to cover her mouth and nose. Just imagining it made her feel nauseous.
Yet she restrained herself.
Since he was theoretically the strongest, cultivation was secondary.
She asked Ye Qiu: "What about his theory? Like that so-called top ten competitiveness?"
"Hmm, how is his theory?"
Ning Rongrong quickly nodded in agreement, letting Ye Qiu shift his attention.
Ye Qiu withdrew his gaze and continued:"Theoretically… he once said, there are no useless soul beasts, only useless soul masters."
"Huh? Then what does that make him? Hmph… just farting around, basically calling himself useless."
Ning Rongrong pouted.
She had completely lost interest in this so-called master.
And Zhu Zhuqing also remembered.
She had heard Tang San mention this on the day of registration. Back then, she had felt something was off, and now she certainly didn't approve.
More importantly,
she cared more about her own cultivation.
"Then Ye Qiu, how do you think he would guide our training?"
"Two words! Running."
Ye Qiu raised two fingers, calm and precise, making Zhu Zhuqing's expression darken.
Her primary goal in coming to Shrek was to become stronger.
She did not want to waste her time.
Zhu Zhuqing asked, stubbornly:
"Just running?"
"Of course not."
Ye Qiu shook his head, making Zhu Zhuqing relax slightly, then continued:"Not just running… running while carrying stones."
As the words fell,
Zhu Zhuqing's somewhat eased expression hardened further, even biting her silver teeth as she looked at Ye Qiu with ill intent.
"Pfft, dead liar, why are you teasing Zhuqing?"
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but laugh.
Her eyebrows curved in delight as she looked at Ye Qiu. Being able to joke, her mood had clearly improved.
Bringing the dead liar to Dou Soul training was indeed the right choice.
"I'm just being honest."
Ye Qiu shrugged.
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, whose eyes dimmed slightly, he said:"If you rely on him, it's better to rely on me. I won't disappoint you."
Zhu Zhuqing froze for a moment, looking up at Ye Qiu.
After using Xuanyuan Gong, she had already been shaken—after all, Xuanyuan Gong was extremely useful. And after the Star Dou Great Forest expedition, she had realized Dai Mubai was unreliable.
If she wanted to survive and live under the sun,
then becoming stronger was her only path.
Zhu Zhuqing clenched her delicate fists, pressed her red lips together as if making a firm resolution, and said in a deep voice:"When Dou Soul training ends today, we'll talk."
"Alright."
Ye Qiu nodded slightly, keeping his eyes forward toward the Soto City gates.
They slowly entered.
Honestly, Ye Qiu did not worry that Zhu Zhuqing would refuse.
Zhu Zhuqing fundamentally differed from Dai Mubai.
The Zhu sisters sought only family interests. Whoever became the queen was fine for the Zhu family.
The Zhu sisters' wins and losses were irrelevant—the Zhu family would not lose.
Dai Mubai and his brothers, however, were born into royalty and represented their own interests—they had to compete.
For a prince, the struggle for the crown could not be resolved by surrender.
Ultimately, the Zhu sisters were women, tools linking the Zhu family with the royal family.
If Dai Mubai succeeded, Zhu Zhuqing might become the empress. If he failed, Zhu Zhuqing might still be taken into the palace.
Thinking carefully, there was no need to resist to the death.
Wish everyone a happy life!
