Zhu Zhuqing Teaches Qian Yuling Some Things

Qian Yuling skipped her way to the entrance of Shrek Academy, where she happened to see Ning Rongrong arguing with Dai Mubai.

As she drew closer, Qian Yuling heard Dai Mubai say, "Remember this: this isn't your home. Don't provoke me again, or I won't care what your status is."

After tossing out those words, Dai Mubai strode toward the academy. But then his gaze shifted, and he spotted Qian Yuling in the distance.

"Have you finished running twenty laps?" Dai Mubai's cold voice rang out.

I don't think I provoked you. Dai Mubai's indifferent tone left Qian Yuling with no desire to speak.

Dai Mubai was cold, but Qian Yuling was even colder. She walked straight past him and went to Ning Rongrong's side.

Dai Mubai realized then that his tone had been inappropriate, but the words had already left his mouth. He did not look at Qian Yuling again and returned directly to the academy.

"Rongrong? What happened?" Qian Yuling was somewhat puzzled, though she could more or less guess the reason.

Ning Rongrong explained everything through tears, then said, "Little Yu, help me kill Dai Mubai. As long as you do it, I can represent the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and give you benefits beyond anything you could imagine."

The moment those words came out, Oscar was utterly horrified. He had never expected Ning Rongrong's heart to be so ruthless.

However, Qian Yuling shook her head. "Rongrong, if you truly want to kill him, there's no need to come to me. You can leave this place and return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Plenty of people would be willing to help you. But if you leave here, we won't be friends anymore."

With that, Qian Yuling turned and left.

Tang San and Xiao Wu silently gave Qian Yuling a thumbs-up.

Ning Rongrong stood frozen where she was. She had never expected Qian Yuling to resist such temptation and refuse her so bluntly.

Ning Rongrong turned her gaze toward Tang San, preparing to ask him instead. But that was no longer Qian Yuling's concern.

After returning to the dormitory, Qian Yuling found Zhu Zhuqing sitting on the bed.

"Zhuqing."

"Little Yu."

The two spoke at the same time.

Qian Yuling took a bath first, changed into a fresh set of clothes, then sat on her own bed and began chatting with Zhu Zhuqing.

"What was your class tonight?" Qian Yuling asked.

Zhu Zhuqing then told Qian Yuling in detail about going to the Great Soul Arena.

Qian Yuling listened with great interest, though it also made her eager to give it a try herself.

"By the way, Little Yu, the dean said you're level forty-nine?" Zhu Zhuqing asked again. Although she knew the dean could not possibly have lied to them, she still wanted to hear Qian Yuling say it herself.

Qian Yuling was somewhat surprised, but she shook her head. "No. I'm not level forty-nine."

Zhu Zhuqing froze. She wasn't? Had the dean lied to them because he had wanted to teach Ning Rongrong a lesson? Or had he deliberately said it to motivate them? Was this what they called a well-intentioned lie?

Zhu Zhuqing fell into deep thought, but in the very next moment, she was completely dumbfounded.

"I'm already level fifty-five." As soon as Qian Yuling finished speaking, the dormitory fell completely silent.

"W-what? Little Yu, really?" Zhu Zhuqing thought Qian Yuling was lying to her.

Qian Yuling did not bother with more words. She jumped down from the bed, circulated her Soul Power, and a silver-white Staff appeared in her right hand. Five Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, white, and white—rose beneath her feet.

Now, Zhu Zhuqing had no choice but to believe her.

Qian Yuling casually withdrew her martial soul. She was certainly happy to have broken through to Soul King, but she knew that Qing Qian, who was two years younger than her, was already level fifty-nine and close to breaking through to Soul Emperor. That kept Qian Yuling from getting too full of herself. Otherwise, she would have practically floated into the sky.

"Why are those Soul Rings white?" Zhu Zhuqing asked, utterly confused.

Qian Yuling replied, "Zhuqing, I'll tell you about that someday."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded. Everyone had their own secrets. When Qian Yuling wanted to tell her, she naturally would. Still, she knew in her heart that those two white Soul Rings were anything but ordinary.

However, Zhu Zhuqing was feeling rather discouraged. She was only a Soul Grandmaster, while Qian Yuling was already a Soul King. An eleven-year-old Soul King—Zhu Zhuqing felt as if she were dreaming.

"M-monster." After a while, Zhu Zhuqing finally said what she most wanted to say.

At those words, Qian Yuling instantly slipped into full dramatic mode. Tears streamed from her big eyes as she repeatedly poked her two index fingers together, lowered her head, and said weakly, "How am I a monster? My Soul Power just cultivates a little faster, that's all."

Qian Yuling's adorable act was highly effective on Zhu Zhuqing. Zhu Zhuqing casually pulled her onto the bed and said, "Little Yu, we're sleeping together tonight."

Qian Yuling's flustered voice rang out. "Zhuqing, don't."

Zhu Zhuqing replied directly, "Don't what? Wow, Little Yu, you smell so nice."

"Zhuqing, where are you touching? Stop!" Qian Yuling cried out.

What should you do when your roommate is a pervert? Waiting online. Urgent.

After some noisy horseplay, Qian Yuling and Zhu Zhuqing lay peacefully on the bed.

"Zhuqing, Little Ao said Ma Hongjun likes me," Qian Yuling said.

"Hm?" Zhu Zhuqing turned over and looked at Qian Yuling in front of her. "Ma Hongjun is no good. He isn't clean at all. He's too filthy."

Qian Yuling raised an eyebrow. "Filthy?"

Zhu Zhuqing explained, "Even though there's a problem with Ma Hongjun's martial soul, that doesn't hide the fact that he isn't clean. Do you know where he went after class today?"

"He went to a brothel, the kind of..." Zhu Zhuqing went on for a long time, explaining all sorts of things Qian Yuling needed to know.

If Oscar had heard Zhu Zhuqing's words, he definitely would have stomped his feet in anger. All his efforts had gone to waste.

Under Zhu Zhuqing's instruction, Qian Yuling came to understand all that physiological knowledge and finally fully understood the latter half of what Oscar had told her.

Her face was somewhat red now. Thinking of the explicit things Zhu Zhuqing had told her made her shudder with disgust.

Great, she was definitely going to have nightmares tonight. Qian Yuling wrapped her little arms around Zhu Zhuqing, as though that could give her some sense of security.

Ma Hongjun, you're not cute at all anymore. I don't want to be with someone unclean. Absolutely not.

Zhu Zhuqing hugged Qian Yuling back, and the two slowly closed their eyes and drifted into sleep.

Sure enough, Qian Yuling had a nightmare. She dreamed that thousands upon thousands of Ma Hongjuns were chasing her, wanting to use her to solve the problem with his martial soul. Just as Dream Ma Hongjun was about to succeed, Qian Yuling jolted awake.

Zhu Zhuqing sensed that something was wrong with Qian Yuling and asked, "What is it?"

Qian Yuling said fearfully, "Zhuqing, I dreamed that thousands upon thousands of Ma Hongjuns wanted to use me to solve the problem with his martial soul. It scared me to death."

Zhu Zhuqing burst out laughing. "It's fine. I'll protect you. Go back to sleep. We still have class tomorrow."

"Mm." Qian Yuling lay on the bed, wrapped her little arms around Zhu Zhuqing, and fell asleep again. This time, she did not have any more nightmares.

In the morning, the two woke up together. After washing up, they left the dormitory side by side and headed to the cafeteria for breakfast.
