Taking Zhu Zhuqing Away, Chatting

Oscar picked up the guard, carried him to a pre-prepared cellar, placed him inside, sealed it off, and then left.

The cellar's strength wasn't enough to trap a level 45 Soul Ancestor indefinitely, but it was enough to delay him for a while.

After leaving, Oscar went directly to the outskirts of the city to meet up with Zhao Wuji and the others. At this time, Zhao Wuji, Dai Mubai, and Zhu Zhuqing had already changed into civilian clothes. After seeing Oscar, the four of them headed at full speed towards the Heaven Dou Empire.

They didn't take a carriage, as that would actually slow them down. After taking Oscar's Swift as Wind Rain Swallow Sausage, the four of them quickly left Star Luo City and took Zhu Zhuqing away before anyone could react.

Of course, this was also because Zhu Zhuqing herself was willing. Otherwise, even with Zhao Wuji, a level 78 Soul Saint, there, taking her away from the Imperial City would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

During the journey, Oscar sized up Zhu Zhuqing. Putting everything else aside, Zhu Zhuqing, who was not even eleven years old, was indeed very attractive. If Oscar had not met Dugu Yan, he might have been tempted to make a move on Zhu Zhuqing.

A youthful face and a giant... such things are absolutely top-tier weapons in any era. To be honest, even Oscar is a little envious of Dai Mubai.

However, as the saying goes, one should not covet a friend's wife, Oscar only admired her and had no improper thoughts about Zhu Zhuqing.

Moreover, it must be said that although Zhu Zhuqing's talent is not as good as Dai Mubai's, even in the original work, she is the worst among the Shrek Seven Devils. However, Zhu Zhuqing has one advantage.

That is, she is hardworking and resilient, and her mind is firm enough that, despite being a woman, she works harder than most people.

At only ten years and five months old, her Soul Power has already reached level twenty-two. In the original story, more than a year later, when Zhu Zhuqing went to the Shrek Academy to enroll, her Soul Power had reached level twenty-seven, and she was only twelve years old at that time.

Therefore, it seems that Zhu Zhuqing is actually quite good. In addition, with her and Dai Mubai's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the combined strength of the two is far greater than the sum of its parts.

The four traveled at full speed for a day and a night, and only after they were completely far away from Star Luo City did their speed gradually slow down. And only now did Dai Mubai seriously introduce Zhu Zhuqing to Zhao Wuji and Oscar.

Because they were taking a back path, the four of them mostly passed through mountains and forests, and even Spirit Beast Forest.

At night, the four of them set up camp by a stream. Oscar was busy preparing food, while Dai Mubai chatted with Zhu Zhuqing and Zhao Wuji.

For Zhu Zhuqing, the events of the past two days were still unbelievable. Although she was happy inside, she also felt somewhat giddy.

She had originally thought that Dai Mubai had abandoned her, after all, he hadn't told her anything when Dai Mubai left a year ago.

But now that Dai Mubai has come back to save her, Zhu Zhuqing's worries and fears of the past year have vanished in an instant.

Moreover, when Dai Mubai took her away a day earlier, he explained things to her and apologized to Zhu Zhuqing for his previous act of running away alone. This made Zhu Zhuqing, a little girl who was not even eleven years old, choose to believe him again.

Dai Mubai will no longer betray Zhu Zhuqing's trust, after all, he understands that there are some things he can do and some things he cannot do.

As the saying goes, a prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold. It is a good thing for both Dai Mubai Zhu Zhuqing he can now understand these things.

Moreover, now that Dai Mubai has taken the initiative to come back and save her, Zhu Zhuqing Dai Mubai has become more dependent on him. Although Zhu Zhuqing is somewhat aloof like in the original work, she seems to be able to let her guard down in front of Dai Mubai.

Oscar was processing the stream fish he had just caught, while Zhu Zhuqing chatted with Dai Mubai and Zhao Wuji.

Dai Mubai said to Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhuqing, Teacher Zhao is the Vice Dean of our Shrek Academy. His Soul Power Level is as high as level 78. It is because of him leading the team that we were able to succeed so smoothly."

Although Zhu Zhuqing already knew Zhao Wuji, they hadn't been formally introduced yet. Now that they had stopped and had time to chat, Zhu Zhuqing took the initiative to start a conversation with Zhao Wuji.

"Hello, Teacher Zhao. Thank you so much for coming to rescue me with Mu Bai. I am extremely grateful," Zhuqing Zhu Zhuqing replied sincerely.

Hearing this, Zhao Wuji chuckled, "Girl, don't be so polite. You are Mu Bai's fiancée, Mu Bai is my student. It's only right that I save you."

Zhao Wuji paused, glancing at Oscar who was processing stream fish, before continuing, "If you want to thank someone, Xiao Ao. Without him, we wouldn't have been able to leave Star Luo City so easily."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing remembered the magical Sausage she had consumed earlier. She now knew that it was Oscar's Third Spirit Ability, and it was precisely because of Oscar's powerful Third Spirit Ability that she remembered it.

This allows them to have the flight speed of a ten- Ten Thousand Year Level Pointed Tail Swift for fifteen minutes. Oscar's Third Spirit Ability has a storage time of one month, and Oscar usually stores some Soul Skill for future use when he has nothing to do.

Oscar's Third Spirit Ability contained a full one hundred Swift Intestines. After leaving Star Luo City, Oscar and the other three each consumed about twenty Swift Sausage. The terrifying flight speed of three hundred minutes and five hours allowed them to get far away from Star Luo City.

Therefore, Zhu Zhuqing was very grateful to Oscar, and Dai Mubai treated Oscar with the same respect he showed to Zhao Wuji, the Vice Dean, which was enough to prove Oscar's extraordinary nature.

After all, Dai Mubai, being Prince, was inherently arrogant and found it difficult to bow down to ordinary people.

Moreover, during their escape, Zhu Zhuqing would occasionally talk to Dai Mubai. From these conversations, she was even more surprised that Dai Mubai would call Oscar "Brother Ao" and that he almost never objected to Oscar's decisions.

The reason they're camping here now is because Oscar wanted to stay here; otherwise, given Dai Mubai's current cautious nature, he would definitely have run as far away as possible.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing are now eager to leave the Star Luo Empire and enter the Heaven Dou Empire as soon as possible, so that they can feel safe.

Oscar heard Zhao Wuji and the others discussing him, looked up, and saw a warm smile on his handsome face illuminated by the Oscar firelight.

"Mu Bai, Teacher Zhao, stop talking about me and come eat the fish." Oscar's warm voice rang out.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at the handsome Oscar, smelled the mouthwatering aroma of grilled fish, and couldn't help but swallow.

While traveling, they ate Oscar's Sausage and dry rations. Although Oscar's Sausage tasted very good, they couldn't last a whole day and night eating them.

Now, smelling the enticing aroma of grilled fish, even Zhao Wuji couldn't resist rushing to Oscar's side, taking a grilled fish from his hand, and then devouring it.

Dai Mubai didn't stand on ceremony and pulled Zhu Zhuqing to Oscar's side. Oscar handed Dai Mubai a fish and then handed Zhu Zhuqing one.

Zhu Zhuqing accepted the grilled fish somewhat embarrassedly, thanked Oscar, and then ate it in small bites.

Oscar smiled slightly, "You are Mu Bai's fiancée, which means you are my sister-in-law. It is only right for me, as the older brother, to take care of my sister-in-law."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but blush. Although she had indeed developed a great liking for Dai Mubai since yesterday, even if it wasn't necessarily love, both Zhao Wuji and Oscar had directly mentioned that she was Dai Mubai's fiancée, which made her somewhat embarrassed.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing blushing, Oscar picked up a fish and started eating it himself. Then he thought of how he and Dugu Yan had just met.

It seems... to be similar to Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai now? Except Oscar and Dugu Yan are not engaged, and their feelings are built up little by little.

Now that Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing are engaged, their relationship should be easier than it was with Dugu Yan back then.

Moreover, what Oscar envied most about Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing was their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, because this skill greatly enhanced their strength and increased their cultivation speed, something Oscar didn't possess.

Because he and Dugu Yan did not have Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they never had the chance to experience the thrill of Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Of course, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing cannot use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill right now, because they have basically never cooperated before.

Therefore, although they have sufficient synergy, it still requires a certain amount of time to work together before they can use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Moreover, this requires mutual trust and a certain understanding between the two before they can cultivate the Martial Soul Fusion Skill together.

However, the power of Martial Soul Fusion Skill also depends on the trust the two people have in each other; the higher the trust, the stronger the power they can unleash.

Zhu Zhuqing replied shyly, "Senior Student, please don't tease me. Although Mu Bai and I are engaged, we haven't officially married yet, so it doesn't count."

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's expression changed, and a wave of guilt washed over him once more.

Zhu Zhuqing, however, was quite pleased with herself, because she had said it on purpose to warn Dai Mubai that if Dai Mubai dared to abandon her again, she would never forgive him.

Of course, judging from Dai Mubai's current changes, it's highly likely that Dai Mubai 'll become Zhu Zhuqing's devoted admirer. Although he was like that in the original novel, the current Dai Mubai isn't as promiscuous as he was in the original story.

Dai Mubai is still a naive young man, and Zhu Zhuqing doesn't feel any aversion towards him, so their relationship should be even stronger than in the original story.

Hearing this, Oscar and Zhao Wuji both smiled. Then Oscar glanced at Dai Mubai and said seriously, "Indeed, an unmarried fiancée is just a fiancée. Zhu Qingni is very perceptive. Remember, don't let Mu Bai get her so easily, otherwise he won't know how to cherish her. It's best to keep him hanging on."

Upon hearing "Oscar," Zhu Zhuqing nodded with a strange expression, then glanced at Dai Mubai, who looked somewhat resigned to his fate.

Dai Mubai was stunned by Oscar's words, and in his heart he cried out, "My Brother Ao, what are you saying? What do you mean by 'you don't know how to cherish what you've got'? Am I that kind of person? Besides, you and your sister-in- Dai Mubai are so lovey-dovey all the time, but why are you stringing me along?"

However, Dai Mubai dared not reveal his true thoughts directly, partly because he was afraid Oscar would beat him up, and partly because he was afraid Zhu Zhuqing would misunderstand.

Although Dai Mubai is currently powerless against Zhu Zhuqing's domineering figure and looks, he also knows what's important and what's urgent. At this stage, he no longer has the mind to think about those things.

He learned from Zhu Zhuqing that Dai Weisi had broken through to the Soul Ancestor level. Although he himself was now at level thirty-two, he was still far behind Dai Weisi.

What's more, there's Zhu Zhuyun. She's Zhu Zhuqing's Eldest Sister and Dai Weisi's fiancée Zhu Zhuyun is currently level 39, just one step away from level 40, while Zhu Zhuqing is only level 22.

The gap in overall strength between the two sides is too great, so Dai Mubai's only thought now is how to surpass his elder brother Dai Weisi and strive to become the victor in this struggle for the throne.

Only in this way can he save his own life, give Zhu Zhuqing the life she wants, and be able to repay the Shrek teachers and Brother Ao's kindness.

When Zhu Zhuqing learned that Dai Mubai had reached level 32, she was in disbelief. After all, Dai Mubai only level 25 when he left, and in just over a year, his Soul Power had increased by seven levels.

Even disregarding the level of Soul Power gained from absorbing the Soul Ring, Dai Mubai still increased his Soul Power by a full six levels! Six levels in a year—what kind of talent is that? Even the entire Star Luo Empire, or even the Douluo Continent, couldn't find such a genius, right?

However, Zhu Zhuqing had no idea that Dai Mubai's Soul Power had increased from level 29 to level 32 thanks to the boost brought by the Whale Rubber.

Taking Whale Rubber not only allowed Dai Mubai's Soul Power to break through to the first level, but also enhanced his physical fitness, allowing him to absorb Soul Ring of a higher level and directly reach the thirty-second level of Soul Power.

Aside from those three levels of Soul Power, when Dai Mubai first enrolled at Shrek, he was already at the peak of level 25, and it only took him a month to break through to level 26.

Therefore, Dai Mubai's truly significant improvement over the past year is from level 26 to level 26, which is roughly three levels per year.

Achieving three levels in a year at the Soul Grandmaster stage is certainly enough to earn the title of genius.

When Dai Mubai told Zhu Zhuqing about his gains over the past year, Zhu Zhuqing felt a little dizzy. It seemed that even in the royal family or the Duke's Mansion, they did not receive this kind of treatment.

And Shrek Academy actually has one? For a moment, Zhu Zhuqing was looking forward to seeing what this powerful Shrek Academy was like, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't wait to enroll.

Of course, Dai Mubai did not directly reveal the matter of the whale glue. Instead, he used an excuse, saying that he had gained such an improvement by taking the pills given to him by the Poison Douluo, Senior Dugu Bo.

Zhao Wuji and Oscar were both very satisfied with this, because Dai Mubai kept his promise and did not reveal the secret of the Whale Rubber even to his fiancée.

Whether Dai Mubai would tell Zhu Zhuqing in private is unknown to Oscar. But it's highly unlikely, since Dai Mubai isn't stupid; he knows what he can and cannot do.
