Zhu Zhuqing Made Up Her Mind and Visited Late at Night

Shrek Academy!

After a long inner struggle, Zhu Zhuqing had finally made up her mind.

She decided to rely on Su Yu.

Although Zhu Zhuqing had once said she would rely on her own efforts and stand on her own two feet,

she would not depend on anyone!

But words like that were easy enough to say.

Give Zhu Zhuqing a real chance to take a shortcut,

and how could she possibly let it slip by?

Back then, Zhu Zhuqing had said those words partly to prove herself and partly out of youthful arrogance.

Zhu Zhuqing had thought hard work could make up for every shortcoming.

Even a gap in talent could be overcome; as long as she worked hard enough, she could still reach the pinnacle of Soul Masters.

But in reality...

That was nothing but a pipe dream.

If hard work really could make up for a lack of talent,

then there would not be so many mediocre people in the world.

The laws of survival on the Douluo Continent were brutally realistic.

If your Martial Soul was not strong enough,

rising above others was as hard as climbing to the heavens.

At the same time, without resources and fortuitous encounters,

even someone with decent talent would never have their day in the sun.

Take Bibi Dong, for example...

Among female Soul Masters, her talent was unquestionably the kind seen only once in a century.

But without the Spirit Hall's training,

Bibi Dong could never have reached her current level of achievement in her lifetime.

Just figuring out how to solve the problem of her Twin Martial Souls

would have left Bibi Dong unable to take a single step forward.

So Zhu Zhuqing's talk of standing on her own two feet and relying on no one was nothing more than a slogan.

In the original story...

Zhu Zhuqing had chosen Dai Mubai all the same,

breaking her own so-called promise to stand on her own.

And now, the person Zhu Zhuqing relied on was no longer Dai Mubai, but Su Yu.

During this time, Zhu Zhuqing watched Ning Rongrong practice her flying skills every day.

There was no describing how envious she was!

Ever since Ning Rongrong had obtained the Angel Wings and become a flying Soul Master,

her standing among the Shrek Seven Devils had shot straight up.

To train Ning Rongrong,

Flender even gave her lessons in person every day.

With his Owl Martial Soul, Flender was a flying Soul Master famous throughout the continent.

It could be said that Ning Rongrong was now receiving one-on-one instruction from a master teacher.

As for the results, they were naturally turning out well.

Ning Rongrong's flying skills were now downright terrifying.

If someone who did not know saw her,

they would think Ning Rongrong was a genuine flying Soul Master, not a support Soul Master.

Ning Rongrong was also very willing to train with Flender every day.

For one thing, Ning Rongrong wanted to improve her ability to protect her own life, in case she encountered danger in the future.

For another, Ning Rongrong thought this kind of training was far more fun than Yu Xiaogang's lessons.

As long as she was not made to run with weights,

Ning Rongrong was willing to train.

Watching her former good sister living so well,

even someone as free of worldly desires as Zhu Zhuqing could not remain unmoved.

There was a saying that put it well:

You feared your sister would suffer, but you also feared she would drive a Land Rover.

In the past, Ning Rongrong had been dead last among the Shrek Seven Devils.

But now, Ning Rongrong had become an indispensable member of the team.

After all, a support Soul Master who knew how to protect herself was an exceptionally rare find.

While the support Soul Masters on other teams still needed their teammates to protect them,

the Shrek Seven Devils had no such concern.

As one side gained and the other lost, the Shrek Seven Devils' advantage instantly widened by a huge margin.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes filled with determination.

"It's time to find Su Yu!"

"Plan B, activate!"

Zhu Zhuqing made up her mind.

Then, on a suitable night, she quietly slipped out of the academy alone.

She was too embarrassed to ask Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu to come along for something like this.

Meanwhile...

Su Yu was at home, planning to consume his second Immortal Herb.

The medicinal power of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum

had been completely absorbed by Su Yu.

It was time for him to make up for his shortcomings in other areas.

Soul Power, for example, and Mental Power.

Ding, ding, ding...

Just as Su Yu was lost in thought, the wind chime at the door rang.

"Hmm?"

"Strange. Someone's here at this hour."

"Could it be Little Yanzi?"

Hearing the sound, Su Yu looked toward the door curiously.

One look was enough to make the corners of his mouth rise.

He had thought it was Little Yanzi.

But to his surprise, it was the little wildcat.

Zhu Zhuqing had really given him a big surprise.

Zhu Zhuqing's figure drew closer, step by step.

As she walked in, Zhu Zhuqing thoughtfully closed the door behind her.

Hmm... she seemed very sensible.

Gangzi had once said something that was absolutely right.

Of the Shrek Seven Devils, anyone could be replaced except Zhu Zhuqing.

Because she was very... horny!

Gangzi's words were truly a maxim.

"Miss Zhu Zhuqing, what brings you here so late at night?"

Although Su Yu understood Zhu Zhuqing's hint,

he deliberately played dumb.

Zhu Zhuqing came to stand before Su Yu.

Seeing his perfectly serious expression, she was both embarrassed and annoyed.

She had made it so obvious.

Any normal person would understand what he meant.

Yet Su Yu was asking when he already knew.

Did he really have to make her say it herself?

That was right!

That was exactly what Su Yu wanted.

"Su Yu... I... I've made up my mind!"

"About what happened last time, I agree."

"From now on, I'm yours."

"You and I are one, with no distinction between us!"

Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath and spoke with a firm expression.

Since she had decided to rely on Su Yu,

there was no need for her to be coy.

"Smart!"

"You've made the best possible choice!"

Su Yu was very satisfied.

Compared with Dai Mubai, he could give Zhu Zhuqing more.

"Then, what tattoo do you think would suit me?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Su Yu with wide, watery eyes.

She wanted to make progress so badly!

"Let's put aside what tattoo to get for now."

"You should know that getting a tattoo isn't easy."

"Come in with me first and see if you can bear the pain."

Su Yu took Zhu Zhuqing by the hand and led her to the workbench.

Zhu Zhuqing did not think much of it.

She had heard Ning Rongrong talk about this.

When Ning Rongrong had gotten her pair of Angel Wings tattooed, the pain had nearly killed her.

Ning Rongrong had also said that several times, she had wanted to give up halfway.

As a young lady of a wealthy family, it was the first time in her life she had ever suffered such torment.

But Zhu Zhuqing was different.

Ning Rongrong had grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth.

So the slightest hardship made her act as though she were at death's door.

But Zhu Zhuqing had faced all kinds of life-and-death trials since childhood.

Even getting here had required her to escape death several times.

Zhu Zhuqing was very confident in her ability to endure.

She would never show weakness like Ning Rongrong.

"Su Yu, come on!"

"I know tattoos hurt, but pain is the one thing I'm not afraid of."

Zhu Zhuqing wore a solemn expression.

She wanted Su Yu to know

that she was a strong woman.

She would not weep and wail, and she would never hold Su Yu back in the future.

But the next moment!

When Su Yu unrolled the map and revealed the dagger, Zhu Zhuqing froze.

"Wait..."

"Th-this isn't right, is it?!"
