"The day you defeat Su Xing, I'll forgive you!"
After taking a deep breath, Zhu Zhuqing said coldly.
Zhu Zhuqing was still giving Dai Mubai a chance, feeling that if Dai Mubai could defeat Su Xing, it should erase the mark Su Xing left deep in her heart.
"Fine!"
"I'll defeat him to prove to you that only I am worthy of you!"
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's condition, Dai Mubai agreed right away.
At that moment, a raging fire burned in Dai Mubai's eyes.
He was very angry that Zhu Zhuqing actually compared him to Su Xing.
Otherwise, Zhu Zhuqing would not have named such a condition.
Bam!
With that said, Dai Mubai turned and walked away.
He was afraid that if he did not leave soon, he would say some harsh things to Zhu Zhuqing.
"I hope you can do it!"
Zhu Zhuqing said softly to herself, then walked over to the balcony of the hotel room.
Zhu Zhuqing wanted to catch some cold wind to calm her mood.
Only when her gaze caught sight of a man and a woman on the street far below, her expression suddenly turned cold.
"Jerk, you're cut from the same cloth as Dai Mubai!"
"Brother Su Xing, do you think these look nice?"
On a brightly lit street, in front of a stall, Ye Lingling held a pair of delicate earrings, compared them against her earlobes, and turned back to ask Su Xing.
"Mm! They suit you well!"
Su Xing took a look, and they truly looked nice.
"Then I'll take them. Boss, I want these."
Hearing that, Ye Lingling grew happy and immediately bought them from the stall owner.
Su Xing watched in silence. Actually, he did not really want to go shopping with Ye Lingling.
He had already noticed that Ye Lingling held feelings for him.
Ye Lingling was also very pretty, yet she could not give Su Xing that heart-pounding feeling, lacking that intense urge to possess her.
Besides, Su Xing had a hunch that he might soon leave Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so he did not wish to lead Ye Lingling on.
If there were no need to take responsibility, Su Xing would have already dragged her to open a hotel room.
Do not laugh; on Douluo Continent, one was considered an adult at ten years old.
Ma Hongjun had long since been dragged by Flender to frequent places like that.
Accompanying Ye Lingling out this time was also because he simply could not withstand her acting spoiled, cute, and pleading.
Even though Ye Lingling was usually cold and kept strangers at a distance, Su Xing could not hold his ground when she acted spoiled.
Thinking of how Ye Lingling looked when she acted cute and spoiled, Su Xing hesitated for a moment whether he should really drag her to a hotel tonight.
"Hm?"
Suddenly, Su Xing felt something amiss and looked up toward the source.
"Zhu Zhuqing!"
The moment he looked up, Su Xing spotted Zhu Zhuqing.
"Hmph!"
Yet upon seeing that Su Xing had discovered her, Zhu Zhuqing let out a cold snort and turned back into her room.
"So they're staying at this hotel!"
Su Xing muttered inwardly.
Zhu Zhuqing was right upstairs, and Su Xing's thoughts stirred once more—should he go find her for a chat?
"Brother Su Xing, what are you looking at?"
Turning back and seeing Su Xing's expression, Ye Lingling could not help asking curiously.
"It's nothing, Lingling! I suddenly remembered I have other matters, so let's call it a day here!"
Su Xing turned back, smiled, and said.
Dragging her to a hotel or anything like that, forget it!
Or... next time!
"We're heading back already?"
"Alright! But next time I ask Brother Su Xing out, you're not allowed to refuse!"
Hearing that, Ye Lingling felt somewhat disappointed, yet Su Xing had already accompanied her shopping for over an hour! She felt content.
If Ye Lingling knew that Su Xing was ditching her to go look for Zhu Zhuqing, she would surely curse him as a scumbag.
"Alright! Let me walk you back first!"
Su Xing nodded, not daring to let Ye Lingling return all by herself.
Even within the city, dangers existed.
Especially for a young and beautiful girl like Ye Lingling, it was quite dangerous; her Martial Soul possessed no combat power either, making her vulnerable if she ran into bad people.
"Mm!"
"You're all jerks! Scumbags!"
Zhu Zhuqing sat on the bed, her hands tearing relentlessly at a pillow as she treated it like a certain someone.
She also knew she had no reason to be angry, nor any qualification to be angry. It was she who refused to give Su Xing a chance, and Su Xing had long since given up pursuing her.
Yet seeing Su Xing, who had stolen her first kiss, shopping with another girl, she just felt mad.
Ding~
Just as Zhu Zhuqing was taking her frustration out on the pillow, a sudden ding sounded.
"Who is it?"
Zhu Zhuqing instantly stood up, lowering her gaze only to find a coin thrown in from the direction of the balcony.
Right after that, she watched that coin vanish into thin air.
"It's his Martial Soul!"
Zhu Zhuqing's expression turned cold, guessing that the coin belonged to Su Xing's Martial Soul.
In other words, Su Xing was outside?
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, Zhu Zhuqing put on her shoes before slowly making her way to the balcony.
Sure enough, a person stood on her balcony at that moment—none other than that scumbag Su Xing.
"What are you doing here?"
"Trespassing on private property, I can notify the Suotuo City guards to arrest you!"
Zhu Zhuqing gazed coldly at Su Xing and questioned him.
"You don't have to be that ruthless, do you?"
"I just came to check on you and wanted to ask you about something!"
Su Xing smiled, unfazed by Zhu Zhuqing's threat.
They were all invited guests of Suotuo City's nobles; as long as they did not commit truly severe crimes, those nobles would smooth things over.
"Aren't you busy accompanying your girlfriend? Aren't you afraid she'll misunderstand if you come looking for me?" Dropping the previous issue, Zhu Zhuqing instead sneered.
"Don't talk nonsense, she isn't my girlfriend yet!" Su Xing retorted.
"Not yet? Meaning she soon will be?" Zhu Zhuqing snorted coldly.
Once those words left her mouth, Zhu Zhuqing realized her tone felt off; that reaction only came from jealousy.
"That's not you, Zhu Zhuqing, act normally!"
Realizing what had happened, Zhu Zhuqing felt secretly embarrassed and annoyed, yet her face remained ice-cold, giving Su Xing no chance to detect anything unusual about her.
"No, Lingling likes me, but she can't give me that heart-pounding feeling. So far, you're the only one who has ever given me that feeling!" Su Xing shook his head and denied it.
Even though he had thought about dragging Ye Lingling to a hotel just moments before, hadn't they ultimately not gone? That meant it didn't count!
"..."
Thump thump thump thump!!!!
Faced with Su Xing's reply, Zhu Zhuqing found her heart suddenly beating rapidly.
A trace of secret delight welled up!
Yet Zhu Zhuqing quickly suppressed it; this was not what she wanted.
"I see that you and Dai Mubai haven't reconciled at all, so you don't plan to forgive him, right?"
"Indeed, that trash isn't worth your forgiveness!"
"Leave Shrek Academy and come with me. You saw it during the day—Yu Xiaogang is also a piece of trash. Staying there will only let him ruin your education!"
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing remain silent, Su Xing pressed on.
Although he had given up on Zhu Zhuqing before, now that they had run into each other, it did not hurt for him to give it another try!
What if he succeeded?
Only, Su Xing knew very well that if Zhu Zhuqing had accepted him in the past, he would have cherished her dearly.
Now? Perhaps he would, perhaps he wouldn't.
