Hair Like Grass

A week later, Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Feng, and Zhao Wuji returned to the Shrek Academy. Their hunt for Soul Beast had gone very smoothly. On the very day they entered the Star Dou Great Forest, they encountered a Thousand-Year Soul Ring suitable for Zhu Zhuqing. Zhu Zhuqing successfully obtained her third Soul Ring, and her third Soul Skill was named Netherworld Slash.

The night at the Shrek Academy was exceptionally quiet, with countless stars filling the sky and the occasional hoot of an owl. In this setting, Ye Feng longed to compose a poem, but alas, lacking literary talent, he could only silently exclaim, "Wow, the night is truly beautiful!"

"Alright, it's late. You two should get some rest."

Zhao Wuji stepped through the gates of the Shrek Academy, uttered these words, and walked straight into the academy.

"Let's go in too. We're finally back," Ye Feng said with emotion.

"Do you really want to come back?" Zhu Zhuqing asked in an unusual tone.

"Certainly."

"But I don't want to rest right now."

"You don't want me to train with you again, do you?"

Ye Feng seemed to be deep in thought, and turned his head to look at Zhu Zhuqing beside him.

"Are you willing?" Zhu Zhuqing asked earnestly.

"Alright, work up a sweat, then take a shower and get some sleep." Ye Feng smiled, turned to face Zhu Zhuqing, and closed his eyes.

call out

Zhu Zhuqing swept her leg out horizontally, her leg technique creating a whooshing sound as she attacked Ye Feng.

Ye Feng sensed the movement of the air, and with a slight movement of his toes, like a grandmaster, easily dodged Zhu Zhuqing's attack. Zhu Zhuqing's leg strike failed, but with a light tap of her toes, she launched another leg attack towards Ye Feng. Ye Feng raised his hand and blocked Zhu Zhuqing's attack.

However, at that moment, a dark shadow descended towards Ye Feng's head.

"Hmm, how come it has a third leg?"

Ye Feng was startled. He suddenly opened his eyes. At the same time, he tapped his toes and retreated backward.

"Tail?"

Ye Feng exclaimed in surprise. His gaze swept towards the third leg; it turned out to be Zhu Zhuqing's tail. He couldn't help but praise, "Not bad, your combat experience has improved a lot."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing smiled smugly. Having a tail was both her weakness and her strength. Through her combat with Ye Feng, Zhu Zhuqing discovered that her tail could also be used as a whip.

Under the silvery moonlight, Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Feng fought back and forth, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

"What... what are you doing?"

Suddenly, Dai Mubai's voice rang out.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Feng were taken aback. They both stopped attacking simultaneously.

"Dai Mubai!"

"Mu Bai!"

Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Feng exclaimed in surprise. They didn't know when Dai Mubai had appeared thirty meters away from them.

It's worth mentioning that at this moment, Ye Feng had one hand holding Zhu Zhuqing's foot and the other holding Zhu Zhuqing cat tail. Looking at Zhu Zhuqing from Ye Feng's perspective, it was fortunate that Zhu Zhuqing wasn't wearing a skirt tonight, otherwise she would have been exposed. Even so, Ye Feng and Zhu Zhuqing's behavior was still quite ambiguous.

"Ye Feng, what are you looking at?" Dai Mubai coldly rebuked.

Ye Feng subconsciously released Zhu Zhuqing's cat tail and Zhu Zhuqing feet.

Ye Feng hurriedly explained, "Dai Mubai, things aren't what you think."

Dai Mubai's face darkened as he angrily rebuked, "How can it not be what I think? Zhu Qing, have you forgotten what I told you? You are not allowed to get too close to Ye Feng. Have you forgotten your own identity?"

Zhu Zhuqing was already proud and cold, and when Dai Mubai so rudely rebuked her, she retorted, "My affairs are none of your business."

"Fine, I don't care."

Dai Mubai was furious and threw what he was holding on the ground. He then stomped on it hard in anger.

snort

Dai Mubai snorted angrily and turned to walk towards Suotuo City.

It was only at this moment that Ye Feng noticed that Dai Mubai had been holding something, and walked over to the broken item.

The object is a crystal. From the broken fragments, it can be determined that the crystal originally resembled a cat and a tiger.

Watching Dai Mubai's retreating figure, Ye Feng reminded Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhu Qing, he was probably going to give you a gift. He must have heard from the Dean that we would be back tonight, and he's been waiting for you around here. Why don't you go up and explain, or he might misunderstand?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked down at the crystal on the ground with a complicated expression. "I know, because today is my birthday."

Well!

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng was taken aback. It turned out that Dai Mubai had intended to give Zhu Zhuqing a birthday present. Watching Dai Mubai's retreating figure, Ye Feng reminded him, "Then why don't you hurry up and explain to him?"

Zhu Zhuqing raised her head, watching Dai Mubai's retreating figure, a hint of anger hidden deep in her indifferent eyes. "We never had anything to do with each other, why bother explaining to him?"

After saying this, Zhu Zhuqing glanced at the broken crystal on the ground, then turned and walked towards the gate of the Shrek Academy.

"Zhu Qing," Ye Feng called out.

Zhu Zhuqing stopped and turned to look at Ye Feng.

"Today is your birthday, this is for you." Ye Feng flicked his finger and took out a medicinal herb from his Storage Soul Guidance Device.

It was a white, exquisite flower, looking as pure and immaculate as a blue Azure Lotus.

"This isn't appropriate!" Zhu Zhuqing's tone was completely devoid of emotion, making it impossible to know what she was really thinking.

"Don't misunderstand, this isn't an ordinary flower, but the Immortal Herb Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone. After consuming it, it can nourish tendons and bones, and unblock the Eight Extraordinary Meridians," Ye Feng explained.

When Ye Feng gave flowers to a girl, Ye Feng interpreted it as Zhu Zhuqing trying to avoid deepening the misunderstanding between Dai Mubai and Ye Feng. Zhu Zhuqing's request for Ye Feng to train her was simply because she wanted to become stronger.

"Really?" Zhu Zhuqing was intrigued.

For Zhu Zhuqing, all she wanted was to become stronger. If things were really as Ye Feng said, it would be an opportunity for her.

"Um."

Ye Feng handed the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone to Zhu Zhuqing and smiled, "Take it. Your Soul Power has just broken through to level 30, so taking the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone now will maximize its benefits. The method of taking it is very simple: eat only the petals and suck the stamen at the end. You need to use your Soul Power to promote absorption. I just learned that today is your birthday, so consider this a birthday gift for you."

"Thanks."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't stand on ceremony with Ye Feng any longer and reached out to take the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone from Ye Feng's hand.

"You..."

The familiar voice made Ye Feng and Zhu Zhuqing jump. They turned to look at the source of the voice and saw Dai Mubai had angrily gone to Suotuo City, return. He had just witnessed Ye Feng giving Zhu Zhuqing the Immortal Herb.

As Dai Mubai walked, he realized he had made a mistake. He shouldn't have been jealous of Ye Feng just because he saw Ye Feng and Zhu Zhuqing sparring, and he certainly shouldn't have interfered too much in Zhu Zhuqing's affairs. Knowing his mistake, Dai Mubai wanted to return to the academy to resolve the misunderstanding with Zhu Zhuqing. However, Dai Mubai happened to witness Ye Feng giving Zhu Zhuqing the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone.

At that moment, Dai Mubai felt as if all his hair had turned green.

"Snort."

Dai Mubai let out a loud groan and walked away without looking back towards Suotuo City.
