Zhu Zhuqing's Impressive Verbal Skills

"Gu Ye, only you can cure my illness." Kadan fixed her beautiful eyes on Gu Ye, took his hand, and placed it against her chest.

"Alas!"

Gu Ye sighed.

Being a physician was truly difficult, wasn't it? Not only did he have to treat people's illnesses, he also had to help them cultivate.

Now this beautiful mature woman, Kadan, had latched onto him. She would not let him leave unless he cured her. Gu Ye was helpless.

"I'll go back and prepare first, then I'll head to the Suotuo City Great Spirit Arena."

In the end, Gu Ye still refused Kadan's invitation for tonight, while leaving her with an uncertain time.

After all, Gu Ye was not strong enough yet. If he had been, he would have dragged Kadan back to a room long ago and made love to her wildly.

Hearing Gu Ye's words, Kadan finally became happy.

The Suotuo City Great Spirit Arena was her territory. As long as Gu Ye arrived there, it would be very convenient for her to seek him out and share their feelings.

"Then I'll be leaving first?"

"Mm, I'll see you out."

Just as Gu Ye left the City Lord of Suotuo's residence, over at Shrek Academy...

Upon returning to Shrek Academy, Flender gathered the Shrek Seven Devils for a lecture and announced that classes would officially begin tomorrow.

Afterward, Flender asked Zhu Zhuqing why she had broken through to Rank 30 so quickly.

"Gu Ye helped me."

"Gu Ye? How did he help you rise three ranks in a single day?"

"It should be Martial Soul Blood, Dean Flender," Tang San interjected at this moment.

"Martial Soul Blood? What is Martial Soul Blood?"

Flender did not understand. It was not just him—Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and the others did not understand either.

"Gu Ye said that it is the most fundamental energy of a Martial Soul. Zhu Zhuqing broke through so quickly because of it."

Tang San had learned this by eavesdropping on Gu Ye and Zhu Zhuqing's conversation.

Of course, Gu Ye had deliberately said it where he could hear.

After all, if Gu Ye wanted to complete his mission, he had to arouse the curiosity of the Shrek Academy group first. That would make it easier for him to act later and perform surgery on them.

"It seems this Gu Ye is far from ordinary. He actually possesses such insight."

Flender thought of his good brother Yu Xiaogang, who specialized in researching Martial Souls. If he were here, he would definitely be very interested in Gu Ye's Martial Soul Blood.

He might even go to Gu Ye to ask exactly what Martial Soul Blood was.

"Zhuqing, since you have only just joined Shrek Academy, although you have broken through to Rank 30, you still need to be observed for a few days. You can also use these days to better consolidate your cultivation. As for helping you hunt your third soul ring, that will have to wait a few days."

"Gather tomorrow morning. Classes will officially begin then. All right, if there are no questions, you may disperse. Oh, Ning Rongrong, Little Ao, you two stay behind."

Zhu Zhuqing did not object to Flender's words. After he dismissed them, she returned to her residence.

Tang San, Oscar, and the others did the same.

Ning Rongrong looked at Flender in confusion, not understanding why he wanted her to stay behind.

Oscar, however, knew why. Thinking of Dean Flender's strictness, Oscar wore a bitter expression. But when he saw Ning Rongrong, this fair-skinned and beautiful classmate, his eyes instantly lit up. He straightened his back and stood tall as he looked at Flender.

Naturally, Flender had kept the two behind to make them undergo running training, to teach them and make them understand the weaknesses of Support-type Soul Masters.

While Flender lectured Ning Rongrong and Oscar...

Elsewhere, Dai Mubai, who had left, kept thinking of the sight of Zhu Zhuqing lying in Gu Ye's arms. It remained like a thorn in his heart.

Because Zhu Zhuqing was his fiancée.

He looked at Zhu Zhuqing walking ahead of him and called out, "Zhu Zhuqing, stop."

Zhu Zhuqing, who was walking ahead, stopped and turned to look at Dai Mubai. "What is it?" she asked coldly.

Xiao Wu, Tang San, and Ma Hongjun also stopped and looked toward the two of them.

"You and that Gu Ye... did you..." Although Dai Mubai did not finish his sentence, Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San, and the others seemed to understand what he meant.

"What does that have to do with you?" Zhu Zhuqing asked indifferently.

"What does it have to do with me? Heh, Zhu Zhuqing, don't forget your identity." Dai Mubai glared at Zhu Zhuqing angrily.

"Tang San, do Boss Dai and this Zhu Zhuqing know each other?" Ma Hongjun bent toward Tang San's ear and asked.

"They probably do?"

Tang San did not know whether Dai Mubai knew Zhu Zhuqing, but judging from the way they spoke, as well as the concern in Dai Mubai's angry words toward Zhu Zhuqing, they probably knew each other.

After sizing Zhu Zhuqing up, Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up. "Zhu Zhuqing really is beautiful, and her figure is incredible. Could it be that Boss Dai has taken a liking to Zhu Zhuqing, which is why he's acting like this?"

At that thought, Ma Hongjun wore a regretful expression.

He knew just how promiscuous Dai Mubai was.

Even Ma Hongjun could not compare to the number of women Dai Mubai had slept with.

"Is there anything else?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai and asked coldly.

She needed to return and cultivate to consolidate her strength. She had no time to waste here.

"I'll ask you one more time. What is your relationship with that Gu Ye? What's going on between you two?" Dai Mubai clenched his fists, clearly angered by Zhu Zhuqing's coldness toward him.

"How utterly boring." Zhu Zhuqing's tone was icy. "Dai Mubai, instead of wasting your time here getting angry and making wild guesses, you might as well spend more time cultivating and improving your strength. Or have you been wasting all these years since you ran away here?"

"You—"

Dai Mubai clenched his fists, infuriated by Zhu Zhuqing's words.

He had worked hard at his cultivation all these years. Otherwise, he would not have reached the strength of a level thirty-seven Soul Elder.

Yet he heard nothing but mockery in Zhu Zhuqing's words, as though she regarded him with complete disdain.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ma Hongjun, who stood nearby, had already confirmed that Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing knew each other. At the same time, all three were curious about their relationship.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dai Mubai. Seeing him forcibly suppress his anger, she turned and left expressionlessly.

If Dai Mubai had lashed out in anger, Zhu Zhuqing might have respected him a little. But seeing him like this only made her unwilling to waste any more time on him.

Dai Mubai watched Zhu Zhuqing leave and did not stop her again.

"Boss Dai, what exactly is your relationship with Zhu Zhuqing? Why did she say you ran away?" Ma Hongjun walked over to Dai Mubai after Zhu Zhuqing left and asked.

Who knew that Dai Mubai would merely snort coldly and leave upon hearing that.

He clearly did not want to tell Ma Hongjun and the others.

"There's something going on. There's definitely something going on between Boss Dai and Zhu Zhuqing," Ma Hongjun said thoughtfully.

"Mm, that really could be it. Dai Mubai's Martial Soul is the White Tiger, while Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul is the Spirit Cat. The two of them really do have some connection," Tang San added.

Then the two looked at each other and returned together to the male dormitory.

Xiao Wu followed Zhu Zhuqing back to the female dormitory as well.

As soon as they returned, Xiao Wu, who was curious about Zhu Zhuqing's relationship with Dai Mubai, immediately began questioning her.

"Zhuqing, do you know Dai Mubai?"

"Mm."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded calmly.

"No wonder. Then, Zhuqing, what is your relationship with Dai Mubai?" Xiao Wu asked again.

"He and I had a marriage engagement when we were children."

"A marriage engagement? Then doesn't that make you Dai Mubai's fiancée?" Xiao Wu stared at Zhu Zhuqing in surprise.

"More or less." Zhu Zhuqing's voice remained calm.

After calming down from her surprise, Xiao Wu recalled the day she and Tang San had encountered Dai Mubai and said quietly, "Zhuqing, let me tell you something. When Third Brother and I first came to Suotuo City, we saw Dai Mubai taking a pair of twins to rent a room."

"Hmph, what a disgusting man." Zhu Zhuqing snorted coldly.

She had clearly already guessed what sort of person Dai Mubai was.

She could not care less about it.

Right now, she only wanted to improve her strength properly. If Dai Mubai continued to wallow in decadence like that, she would not say anything more.

Because he was not worth it.
