Background / History

Zhu Zhuqing is a member of the Star Luo Empire's Zhu Family and the bearer of the Netherworld Cat martial soul. She travelled to find her fiancé, Dai Mubai, while enduring repeated assassination attempts. When she finally saw him at the Rose Hotel, his drinking, womanizing, and failure to recognize her destroyed her remaining faith in him; she resolved to confront the fate awaiting her rather than flee. 34 37 67

While badly injured and surrounded by the Quanxing Seven Fiends, Zhu Zhuqing was saved by Yin Hao. Despite being their target, she pleaded for the defeated fiends to be spared, revealing compassion toward people who had previously served as her protectors. Yin Hao and Xiao Wu subsequently treated her injuries. 30 31 32

Seeking strength to face Dai Mubai and her future enemy, Zhu Zhuqing tracked down Clone Yin Hao, knelt before him, and requested to become his disciple. He accepted her and bestowed the Three Tomoe Sharingan, which she integrated into her eyes. 67

After leaving Shrek Academy, she travelled to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for intensive training under her master. She survived an encounter with a ten-thousand-year Heaven Arrow Tiger, trained alongside Dugu Yan, obtained a ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring, and developed the fourth soul skill Netherworld Shadow Clone. 132 133 134 144

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing is repeatedly described as cold and beautiful, usually maintaining an aloof, frosty expression. She wears black clothing, including a black bodysuit, and her rare smiles sharply contrast with her normally detached demeanor. 37 86 224

• Her Netherworld Cat possession transforms her hands into sharp, white cat claws. 211
• Her evolved martial soul manifests as a more domineering black spirit cat. 144
• The Eight Spider Lances emerge as eight purple spears from her back. 87

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is reserved, blunt, and intensely self-reliant. She rarely explains herself, prefers to resolve personal matters through her own strength, and refuses to let fear or pain deter her cultivation. She remained in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well until moments before its protective medicine expired solely to cultivate longer. 134 135 136 145

Beneath her cold exterior, she is not indifferent to others. She asked Yin Hao to spare the Quanxing Seven Fiends, partnered effectively with Xiao Wu, and developed a friendly rivalry with Dugu Yan. 31 86 145 200

Her attachment to Yin Hao becomes increasingly possessive. Jealousy over Ning Rongrong drives her to seek greater strength, and she later openly confesses her feelings to Yin Hao. 124 224 237
