"So you're going to Shrek Academy. I know about Shrek Academy."

"They claim to accept only monsters, not ordinary genius students. But with your talent, getting in shouldn't be difficult!"

"I considered joining Shrek Academy some time ago too, but I gave up later."

Zhu Zhuqing walked ahead, listening to the voice beside her with some helplessness in her heart.

In the end, she still hadn't managed to drive Su Xing away!

And after talking things through, she felt too embarrassed to keep ignoring him. She would just treat him as an extra companion!

"Why?"

Even though Zhu Zhuqing was impatient, she was still curious when she heard that Su Xing had given up on Shrek Academy.

"Because no one can teach me!"

"It'd be more like me teaching everyone else!"

Su Xing smiled proudly, his words brimming with bold confidence.

Zhu Zhuqing was speechless. She did not believe him in the slightest and only felt that his arrogance knew no bounds.

"Is that so? Then how do you think my Martial Soul should be cultivated for the best results?" Zhu Zhuqing asked afterward.

She wanted to see what someone as arrogant as Su Xing could possibly say.

"Your Hell Spirit Cat is a top-tier Martial Soul of the Agility Attack System. Just keep following the agility route!"

"Among all Spirit Skills, speed alone is unbreakable!"

Su Xing smiled confidently before answering.

He only gave a simple explanation and did not elaborate. Zhu Zhuqing would not listen to him anyway.

"Among all Spirit Skills, speed alone is unbreakable!"

Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes immediately lit up when she heard his words.

She felt that the phrase had a lot of presence and suited the Agility Attack System perfectly.

As for the rest, she did not think much of it. Wasn't it merely the theory of the extreme faction among Spirit Masters?

Su Xing was simply emphasizing speed.

"You think we need you to tell us that? Our family's Martial Soul has always been cultivated that way!"

Zhu Zhuqing snorted, believing Su Xing even less!

What I mean isn't the same as what you understand.

Su Xing did not say that aloud. He would not blurt out everything he should and should not say just because he wanted to court a girl.

Besides, his theory was not entirely suited to the Spirit Master system based on absorbing Spirit Rings.

The current Spirit Master system had its own advantages as well.

Strength increased quickly, there was no need to create one's own Spirit Skills, and absorbing Spirit Rings granted them directly. On top of that, all kinds of Spirit Skills were strange and varied, making them difficult to create oneself.

Su Xing's Innate Soul Power level was simply too low. The normal Spirit Master system did not suit him unless he wanted to become mediocre.

In the Balak Kingdom, Rose City was the largest city apart from the royal capital. Its most famous establishment was the Rose Hotel, which had brought countless couples together.

Su Xing knew this hotel's secret to success very well.

Whenever a man and a woman arrived together to rent a room, the hotel would "happen" to have only one room left!

"Sorry, we only have one room left. What do you think?"

Sure enough, when Su Xing and Zhu Zhuqing arrived at the Rose Hotel, the front desk said the same thing.

"Are there really no extra rooms left?" Su Xing asked, pretending not to know.

"Yes, sir. How about the two of you stay in the same room?" the receptionist asked with a nod.

"Zhu Zhuqing, what do you think?"

Su Xing naturally wanted to agree, but he still had to see what Zhu Zhuqing thought.

"Let's go. Since there are no extra rooms, we'll go to another hotel. Or you can stay here while I find somewhere else myself!" Zhu Zhuqing flatly rejected the suggestion with a cold expression.

She had strong principles and respected herself. Su Xing was not her boyfriend, so she would never share a room with him.

"Wait!"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing turn and leave so decisively, Su Xing hurriedly stopped her.

Then, with a regretful look, he said to the receptionist, "Get me two rooms. I know you have them. I like that girl, but I don't need your hotel to bring us together!"

As he spoke, he took out two Gold Soul Coins and placed them on the counter.

"Certainly, sir. Please wait a moment while I arrange that for you!" The receptionist smiled, bent down to collect the Gold Coins, and replied respectfully.

Of course, no one knew whether the receptionist was cursing Su Xing inwardly.

"Shameless!"

In any case, Zhu Zhuqing immediately exposed Su Xing's true nature.

How could she not know that if she had not refused, Su Xing would definitely have wanted to use the opportunity to stay in the same room as her?

Still, Zhu Zhuqing was not angry. She had long known about Su Xing's thick skin and shamelessness.

It would have been strange if Su Xing had not acted that way.

"Here, take your money back!"

After entering the hotel, Zhu Zhuqing took out a Gold Coin and handed it to Su Xing in the corridor leading to their rooms.

"Fine."

Su Xing sighed helplessly and accepted it without insisting. If he refused to take it, Zhu Zhuqing would definitely turn around and leave.

"Let's make this clear first!"

"Shrek Academy isn't far from here anymore. If you want to see Dai Mubai for who he really is, you can't show yourself and let him know you're here."

"We need to observe him in secret. Only then can we truly see what he's doing after running away here!"

Their rooms were next to each other. Before Zhu Zhuqing entered her own room, Su Xing stopped her and said this.

"You don't need to remind me!"

Zhu Zhuqing snorted. That had been her plan all along—to observe Dai Mubai from the shadows first.

As long as she concealed her Soul Power aura, Dai Mubai could not possibly discover her.

On the other hand, since Dai Mubai did not know she had come for him, he definitely would not conceal his own Soul Power aura.

Her family's Martial Soul had a certain connection to Dai Mubai's family Martial Soul. As long as Dai Mubai appeared near her, she would definitely know.

That way, she could avoid him in time and observe him in secret!

"Hm?"

"He's here..."

Zhu Zhuqing's expression suddenly changed.

She had not expected to sense Dai Mubai's aura just as they were talking about him.

"Dai Mubai?"

The moment Su Xing heard that, he knew Zhu Zhuqing was referring to Dai Mubai. After thinking it over, could this be the scene where Dai Mubai first appeared in the original story?

It really was possible.

Su Xing remembered that when Zhu Zhuqing made Lovesick Heartbreak Red bleed, one of her memories showed her seeing Dai Mubai acting intimately with those twin girls.

That proved Zhu Zhuqing might have been there at the time, only she had not shown herself.

"It's him!"

Zhu Zhuqing's expression was somewhat complicated. She was finally about to see that person. She wondered what Dai Mubai was really like now.

"Perfect. Let's go see what he's doing. This is a hotel for couples, after all. Who could Dai Mubai have come here with?" Su Xing smiled faintly and headed downstairs first.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression darkened slightly before she quietly followed him.
