Zhu Zhuqing Leaves Shrek

Seeing Uncle Fu's appearance, Zhu Zhuqing was filled with doubt, but she also breathed a sigh of relief.

As far as she knew, Uncle Fu had never lied, so there was basically no need to doubt the truthfulness of anything he said.

Since Uncle Fu wouldn't lie, if he said he wouldn't kill her, then he wouldn't kill her, so Zhu Zhuqing gradually relaxed.

"Of course, this is truly good news for you, Miss."

Uncle Fu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhu Zhuqing had relaxed. After all, he was afraid that the girl might do something rash and try to commit suicide right away, which was why he made his intentions clear from the beginning.

"Congratulations, Third Miss. His Majesty has issued a decree to annul your engagement with the Third Prince. In other words, you are now free," Uncle Fu said with a smile.

However, Zhu Zhuqing showed no sign of happiness at all. Having lived independently for so long, she had long understood a principle: it's better to rely on yourself than on others.

As the saying goes, every gift from fate comes with a hidden price.

If something is not obtained through one's own efforts, it must come with some kind of price.

"Ha, freedom? That's certainly good news." Zhu Zhuqing sneered, then asked, "Then, I wonder who Your Majesty intends to remarry me to?"

Zhu Zhuqing had long been aware of the Star Luo Imperial Family's cold-bloodedness. She clearly understood that if they wanted the Star Luo Imperial Family to give up something, they would definitely have a deeper scheme for that thing.

Zhu Zhuqing naturally guessed the reason for breaking off the engagement: it was simply to sell her for a higher price.

"As expected of the Third Miss, she is indeed incredibly intelligent." Uncle Fu seemed not to hear Zhu Zhuqing's veiled sarcasm, and even smiled and praised her.

He then answered irrelevantly, "Third Miss, do you know Mister Wu Tong?"

"Wu Tong? Of course, we've met once."

As soon as Uncle Fu spoke, Zhu Zhuqing immediately thought of the handsome young man she had met today, who was both godlike and demonic, with a refined and elegant demeanor.

"Um."

"Um?"

"Um!!!"

Uncle Fu didn't react at first, but after a while, he came to his senses and immediately looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a fanatical gaze:

"Third Miss, you said you've met Mister Wu Tong? What does he look like? Is he as handsome as the legends say? Does he have that scholarly air about him?"

"Stop, stop, stop. First of all, Wu Tong isn't an old man. He's about my age. Secondly, what does what you're saying have to do with Wu Tong?"

Zhu Zhuqing hadn't expected that Uncle Fu was actually a fan of Wu Tong. His fervent expression even reminded Zhu Zhuqing of the fans of the Tianshui Girl Group.

She had seen the Tianshui Girl Group perform before. When the Tianshui Girl Group appeared, the fans below the stage had the same expression: fanatical and obsessed, as if they wanted to devour the Tianshui Girl Group whole.

But now it seems that Wu Tong is more charming. He even has an elderly fan like Uncle Fu, which is unbelievable.

Now Zhu Zhuqing has truly witnessed Wu Tong's influence.

However, Zhu Zhuqing was in no mood to explain these things to Uncle Fu. The priority at the moment was to figure out the ins and outs of the matter.

"I apologize, Miss, this old servant has lost his composure."

Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Uncle Fu realized his lapse in decorum, quickly tidied his appearance, and apologized to Zhu Zhuqing.

"The thing is actually like this..."

—Explanation of Project Star Luo Empire—

"Is this the Star Luo Empire's plan? It really is a 'good plan'." After hearing the Star Luo Imperial Family's plan, a hint of mockery flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

"Especially this plan, which was conceived by Dai Weisi."

"Well..."

Uncle Fu sighed and remained silent. These were matters beyond his purview, and he had already said everything he needed to say. Now it was up to Zhu Zhuqing to make her choice.

"Alright, I agree. I'll go back and prepare now, and then I'll go back with you."

After thinking for a while, Zhu Zhuqing finally decided to follow the Star Luo Empire's plan.

This wasn't because Zhu Zhuqing gave in, but rather for several reasons:

Firstly, he wanted to find Nami, the girl who reminded him to the Bitter Sea and his first friend. She was currently with Wu Tong, and if he went there, he might be able to see her often in the future.

Secondly, she could break free from Dai Mubai. She knew very well that if she didn't agree to seduce Wu Tong, then the so-called dissolution of the engagement would immediately become a joke.

After reflecting and thinking, she was tired of this hypocritical man and desperately wanted to break off her engagement with Dai Mubai. This would be a good opportunity to get rid of him completely.

Thirdly, it was because of Wu Tong. In fact, Zhu Zhuqing didn't have much of a problem with Wu Tong. In fact, she had long admired this wise man who was famous throughout the continent. After seeing him today, Zhu Zhuqing was attracted to Wu Tong.

Moreover, love, as the old saying goes, begins with appearance, is captivated by talent, and remains faithful to character.

Wu Tong could meet all three of these requirements, so he could be considered the prince charming in the hearts of every young girl in love. Even Zhu Zhuqing was no exception. She had long had feelings for Wu Tong, so she did not object to this arrangement.

"That's wonderful, Miss Zhu, let's go then." Uncle Fu was overjoyed to hear Zhu Zhuqing's decision.

Since Zhu Zhuqing has agreed, then as the messenger, I will also receive some rewards from the royal family, which is a considerable reward.

"Moreover, if we start our journey now, we can arrive the day after tomorrow. At that time, Mister Wu Tong's Academy will be in session, and you, Miss, can set off with the other young ladies."

Hearing what Uncle Fu said, Zhu Zhuqing could not deny it. Then, under the cover of night, she returned to her dormitory and packed all her things.

They then left Shrek Academy with Uncle Fu and headed towards the Star Luo Empire overnight.

Meanwhile, inside the Shrek Academy, without anyone knowing, the Academy's members reverted to the three people they had at the start of the semester, with no more and no less.

This is truly something to celebrate!

Vertical day.

The Twilight Canyon.

After getting out of his reverie, Wu Tong went straight to the Lakeheart Island.

Looking at the Lakeheart Island, one sees a magnificent and luxurious paradise constructed from three breathtaking sights: the Icefire Yin-Yang Well, the Golden Tree, and the Lake of Life.
