Background & History

Zhu Family upbringing

Zhu Zhuqing was the Zhu Family's second young lady, but lived alone in a decayed courtyard inferior even to servant quarters. She trained herself by striking wooden stakes until her fingernails tore and blood stained the wood, developing a fierce, desperate disposition rather than relying on her family. 4

She was engaged to Star Luo's Second Prince, Dai Mubai, who regarded her as property, claimed to have placed her under house arrest, and showed open disgust toward her condition. 5

Rescue and adoption

Qian Mo sought Zhu Zhuqing out after hearing of a “little wild cat” in Star Luo. Seeing her determination, he offered her the power to kill those who had bullied her and told her to become his “cat.” 3 4

When Dai Mubai confronted them, Zhu Zhuqing overcame her fear and chose to leave with Qian Mo. He brought her to Martial Soul City, personally helped her clean herself up, and gave her a Crimson Cloud Skirt. 5 7

At the Papal Palace, Zhu Zhuqing's sincere greeting and gift of a golden rose moved Bibi Dong. Bibi Dong adopted her as a daughter and granted her standing equivalent to that of a Saintess. 8

Growth in Martial Soul Hall

Initially frightened of darkness and solitude, Zhu Zhuqing sought safety in Qian Mo's presence. Their first night sleeping in the same room triggered an unconscious Soul Power-sharing resonance, raising her from Level 1 to the Level 10 bottleneck overnight. 9

Over the following three years, she trained relentlessly and reached Level 40 with three red soul rings and three hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones, though she remained unable to land a hit on Qian Mo in their sparring match. 12 14

Bibi Dong also took an active interest in Zhu Zhuqing's presentation, commissioning clothing for her and selecting a moon-white dress made from Ten Thousand Year Ice Silkworm silk and Cloud Brocade. 13 14

Star Dou Great Forest and secluded cultivation

During the expedition to the Star Dou Great Forest, Zhu Zhuqing protected Qian Mo when the group appeared to face a Soul Beast threat. 15

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Phantom Demon Fox voluntarily forced Zhu Zhuqing to kill it so that it could become part of her equipment. Zhu Zhuqing absorbed its soul ring and received its Charm Skull, gaining a powerful charm-type skill. 15 16

After returning from the forest, Bibi Dong ordered Zhu Zhuqing and Qian Mo into three years of secluded cultivation in Death Canyon. By the end of this period, Zhu Zhuqing had reached Level 60. 18 19

Shrek Academy

Zhu Zhuqing traveled with Qian Mo to Suotuo City under Bibi Dong's orders to challenge Shrek Academy. Encountering Dai Mubai again at the Rose Hotel, she faced him without fear and watched his defeat finally break the psychological hold he had held over her. 19 20

At Shrek's entrance test, she revealed six hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings at age twelve. After Qian Mo defeated Zhao Wuji and Flender, Zhu Zhuqing was accepted as a Shrek core student alongside him. 21 22 23

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing is a black-haired girl with heterochromatic cat-like eyes, described as black and blue. Her formerly thin, neglected appearance changed substantially after receiving Martial Soul Hall's care, rare resources, and Soul Power nourishment. 4 12 16

• Long black hair and upward-slanted, cat-like eyes. 7 16
• A cool, aloof public bearing that contrasts with her shyness around Qian Mo. 14 20
• Commonly wears a black fitted leather combat outfit in battle. 12 15 29
• Owns a moon-white Cloud Brocade dress that gives her an especially noble and restrained appearance. 13 14

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing began as a guarded, survival-driven child. Years of isolation and mistreatment made her instinctively tense like a cornered wild animal, but also gave her a fierce determination to become strong. 4

She is deeply loyal to Qian Mo, whose protection gave her a sense of safety she had never known. Her fear of being alone gradually became dependence and trust; she remains notably shy and easily embarrassed in his presence. 7 9 16

In combat and when protecting Qian Mo, Zhu Zhuqing becomes cold, decisive, and intensely possessive. She confronted the Phantom Demon Fox over its pursuit of Qian Mo and threatened Ning Rongrong when the latter tried to approach him. 15 25

Abilities & Skills

Hell Spirit Cat (Mutated)

Zhu Zhuqing possesses the mutating Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul, specializing in rapid movement, claw-based attacks, and agile close-quarters combat. 14

• Netherworld Hundred Claws — Releases a barrage of claw shadows that can seal an opponent's routes of escape. 12
• Netherworld Slash — A high-speed cutting attack used against the Phantom Demon Fox. 15
• Her agility allowed her to cross space as a black afterimage before Ning Rongrong could touch Qian Mo. 25

Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings

By age twelve, Zhu Zhuqing possesses six hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings, all red in color. 22

• Her first three documented rings were already hundred-thousand-year rings by Level 40. 12
• Her fourth ring came from the Hundred-Thousand-Year Phantom Demon Fox. 16
• The Phantom Demon Fox's ring was purified and subdued by Qian Mo's influence, allowing Zhu Zhuqing to absorb it without the usual violent backlash. 16

Soul Bones

Zhu Zhuqing accumulated multiple hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones during her growth. 12 14

• Evil Spirit Orca Left Leg Bone — Grants Orca Tooth-Shattering Slash, which complements her claw attacks with destructive cutting force. 12
• Phantom Demon Fox's Charm Skull — A pink skull bone that merged into her glabella after she absorbed the Phantom Demon Fox. 16

Charm: Love of a Lifetime

A Skull Soul Skill derived from the Phantom Demon Fox's Charm Skull. Rather than a simple mental attack, it stirs desire and protective impulses in those affected. 16

• Its activation affected Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Qian Renxue, and Qian Mo. 16
• Qian Mo can suppress or interrupt the skill with his Auspicious Qi. 16
• He advised Zhu Zhuqing not to use it casually because of its disruptive effect on those nearby. 16

Auspicious Qi Resonance

Zhu Zhuqing benefits unusually from contact with Qian Mo's Auspicious Qi. 9 26

• The resonance repaired hidden bodily damage caused by malnutrition and her Martial Soul mutation. 9
• It passively shared Qian Mo's increasing Soul Power with her, producing her initial leap from Level 1 to Level 10. 9
• Later “Qi Luck Sharing” continued to provide incremental cultivation gains while she was close to him. 26

Equipment / Items

• Crimson Cloud Skirt — A fine Soul Tool given to Zhu Zhuqing by Qian Mo; self-cleaning, temperature-regulating, and slightly improves Soul Power recovery. 7
• Moon-White Cloud Brocade Dress — Bibi Dong's design, woven from Ten Thousand Year Ice Silkworm silk and Cloud Brocade. 13 14
• Immortal Watery Jade Bone — An Immortal Herb given by Qian Mo and absorbed by Zhu Zhuqing while she consolidated her rapidly increasing Soul Power. 30

Relationships

• Qian Mo — Rescuer, protector, bound companion, and the person Zhu Zhuqing relies on most; she is fiercely protective of him. 4 9 14 25
• Bibi Dong — Adoptive mother. Bibi Dong granted Zhu Zhuqing Saintess-equivalent status and personally oversees both her training and wardrobe. 8 13
• Qian Renxue — Ally and Qian Mo's older sister. Their relationship is tense because both are protective of Qian Mo, though Qian Renxue entrusted Zhu Zhuqing with watching over him. 10 19
• Dai Mubai — Former fiancé. His neglect and possessiveness were central to Zhu Zhuqing's early suffering; she later faced him without fear in Suotuo City. 5 20
• Ning Rongrong — Initially rebuffed by Zhu Zhuqing when attempting to approach Qian Mo; later fought alongside her as part of Qian Mo's group. 25 29
• Xiao Wu and Oscar — Teammates who fought beside Zhu Zhuqing in the Spirit Arena. 33
