Emotional Value: 232153;

"Hiss—"

Good lord!

He'd earned that way too fast, hadn't he?

Zhuge Lan even wanted to turn around and fleece him again!

But considering that the same kind of emotion would depreciate sharply in value over a short period of time,

he gave up.

I'll fleece them again tomorrow. Slow and steady wins the race.

Just then,

"Dean Flender." Ma Hongjun grinned. "I've got something to take care of, so I won't be going back tonight, okay?"

Flender's hands paused over his abacus as he pushed up his glasses.

"Can't hold it in again?"

Ma Hongjun grinned and rubbed his hands together like a fly, wearing an expression that said, You know what I mean.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing instinctively frowned.

They'd wronged Oscar.

The truly lecherous one was this little fatty!

Flender naturally noticed everyone's subtle expressions.

But what could he do?

"You've been bottling up that evil fire for quite a while. Now that you've got money, go find Mubai." Flender instructed, "Bring him back to the academy on time tomorrow."

"Got it!"

Ma Hongjun eagerly sprinted away.

Zhuge Lan could only shake his head.

He was this excited just to visit a higher-end brothel?

How vulgar.

Beside him,

Zhu Zhuqing said coldly, "You want to go too?"

Oh?

What a huge grudge.

Zhuge Lan glanced at Zhu Zhuqing's frost-covered expression and gave a disdainful laugh.

"I'm not interested in that kind of place."

"Rather than being ruled by desire, I prefer the union of two hearts in love."

"Don't you agree?"

Emotional Value +5555

Zhu Zhuqing's expression softened slightly.

Zhuge Lan struck while the iron was hot and held out a hand to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Give me your hand."

Zhu Zhuqing asked no questions and raised her hand to him.

Zhuge Lan squeezed her little hand, making Zhu Zhuqing's heart skip a beat.

If it had been anyone else, Zhu Zhuqing's cat claws would already have raked across them.

But this was Zhuge Lan.

Zhu Zhuqing looked straight into Zhuge Lan's eyes, their gazes meeting.

She gave him complete trust.

That pleased Zhuge Lan greatly.

He pressed Zhu Zhuqing's hand against his chest.

"Feel my breathing. Use it to memorize the footwork."

Zhuge Lan began to speed up, his feet tracing mysterious steps. Yet when she tried to study them closely, they seemed utterly chaotic.

The longer she watched, the more dizzying they became.

But by comparing them to Zhuge Lan's breathing rhythm, Zhu Zhuqing quickly discovered the pattern.

Her eyes immediately widened!

This was...

Emotional Value +5555

Calm by nature, she quickly steadied herself.

She tried her best to memorize it.

Then she immediately applied it to herself, adjusting her body's habits.

They left Flender and the others far behind.

No one followed after them, either.

Zhuge Lan was clearly teaching Zhu Zhuqing a movement technique.

Following behind them would look like he was trying to secretly learn it.

"Ah—"

Tang San regretfully closed his Purple Demon Eyes.

Clearly, he had gained nothing.

At the gates of Shrek Academy,

Zhuge Lan and Zhu Zhuqing stopped one after the other.

Seeing the fine beads of sweat on her face, Zhuge Lan nodded approvingly.

"You grasped the basics very quickly."

Emotional Value +2333

Zhu Zhuqing smiled unconsciously, her emotions exceedingly complicated.

For the first time, she realized

that even a long-distance sprint could feel this effortless?

And this was only the foundation!

If she could learn Zhuge Lan's Spiral Nine Shadows...

As she looked forward to it,

Zhuge Lan merely waved his hand and turned to leave.

"You've had a tiring day. Get some rest early."

Emotional Value +1111

That decisive departure left Zhu Zhuqing stunned.

She was in perfect condition now. Shouldn't they strike while the iron was hot and continue...

Hm?

Wait!

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly realized something.

The appearance of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill had instinctively made her believe that the two of them were already one.

But were they?

They weren't.

Zhuge Lan had no obligation to teach her anything.

That cruel reality made Zhu Zhuqing's heart tighten.

Having experienced Zhuge Lan's profound abilities and how they could improve her strength instantly,

how could she be willing to let go?

Not to mention

the powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and the fusion skill of her other martial soul!

No matter how she looked at it, Zhuge Lan was her best possible destination.

But in reverse,

Zhuge Lan didn't need her specifically.

Even while in the Martial Soul Fusion Skill state, he had remained calm.

As if

he didn't care.

Emotional Value +9999

Recognizing this unequal level of need gave Zhu Zhuqing a powerful sense of crisis.

She looked down.

Her view was completely blocked.

Perhaps...

it was time to take the initiative?

Having made up her mind,

she strode into the academy on her long legs and caught up to the unhurried Zhuge Lan.

She stepped sideways and blocked his path.

With a serious expression, she said, "Zhuge, I have something to tell you!"

A smile curled at Zhuge Lan's lips as he waited for her to continue.

Emotional Value +7777

Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath and said sincerely—

"I know saying this now may seem a little calculating."

"But these are my true feelings!"

"My obsession with becoming stronger has made me admire strength."

"Although we've only known each other for two days, I've realized something."

"Zhuge, I've already fallen for you!"

"I like your strength!"

"I like your mystery!"

"And I like even more that you can make me stronger!"

"So, Zhuge, I want to be your girlfriend, your lover, and fight by your side!"

Zhu Zhuqing stared directly into Zhuge Lan's eyes, her gaze blazing and wild.

Zhuge Lan broke into a wide grin that he simply couldn't suppress.

Look at that!

The Iceberg Goddess, Zhu Zhuqing, had fallen for him in less than two days!

And she had even confessed and chased after him herself.

His sense of accomplishment was overflowing!

Though Zhuge Lan deeply craved Zhu Zhuqing's body, he didn't nod and accept.

A small lack of patience would ruin great plans.

He couldn't give up an entire forest for one tree.

Talk-no-Jutsu (PUA), activate!

He said earnestly—

"I have to admit, it's hard for me to refuse your confession."

"But before I agree, there are some things you need to know."

"Afterward, you can decide whether you still want to persist in this."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't interrupt him and silently watched Zhuge Lan.

"You've seen it too. I have quite a few secrets."

Zhuge Lan spread his hands and said—

"For reasons I can't tell you yet, I need to strengthen my family. A sufficient number of biological descendants is essential."

"But your desire to become stronger is extremely intense."

"I imagine you wouldn't want to spend long periods in a state of pregnancy and childbirth, would you?"

"So in the future, I'm destined not to have only one woman."

"Can you accept that?"

Emotional Value +11111

Zhu Zhuqing fell silent.

Although Douluo Continent had no explicit law requiring monogamy,

only nobles greedy for pleasure kept wives and concubines in droves.

The stronger a person was, the more devoted they tended to be.

The last remnants of Zhu Zhuqing's girlish heart also longed to meet a man who would be hers alone, her destined one.

But reality...

Still, she quickly adjusted her mindset.

Which emperor in the history of the Star Luo Empire had not kept a harem of wives and concubines?

Zhu Zhuqing's older sister, Zhu Zhuyun, was even studying the "Harem Management Manual"—the accumulated experience of generations of empresses from the Zhu Family.

And that was precisely why.

Zhu Zhuqing had come to Shrek, to give Dai Mubai one last chance.

She just hadn't expected to meet...

So.

Should she accept?

Or refuse?
