You're a Good Person!

Listening to you was like listening to you.

As for Dai Mubai's relationship troubles, Tang San spread his hands, saying he was powerless to help and telling Dai Mubai to seek someone more qualified.

He had only just sorted out his own feelings. How could he possibly understand Dai Mubai's situation?

Everyone knew Dai Mubai was a playboy, but no one seemed to take it seriously, especially the men of Shrek.

"Ah~"

Dai Mubai sighed. A moment later, he slapped the table.

With a bang.

The already fragile table lost another 1 HP and exploded into pieces.

Tang San's eye twitched. That was his table!

Seeing the furious expression on Dai Mubai's face, Tang San parted his lips slightly, then swallowed the words that had reached his mouth.

"Since Zhu Zhuqing doesn't know what's good for her, I'll act as though I never had her as a fiancée!"

"Hmph, there are plenty of women in this world who would scream and cheer for me, Dai Mubai."

"A real man need not worry about having no wife!"

After shouting those words, Dai Mubai felt utterly refreshed, as though some of the gloom hanging over him had dissipated.

Zhu Zhuqing's attitude toward him had truly wounded him deeply. That was why he was so furious.

"Little San, if the Dean asks where I went, tell him in front of Zhu Zhuqing that Fatty and I went off to have fun and indulge ourselves!"

"Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it?"

"I'm leaving!"

With that, Dai Mubai jumped out the window and vanished in a flash.

Tang San watched Dai Mubai's retreating figure and murmured, "Good thing Xiao Wu isn't like Zhu Zhuqing..."

The scene shifted to the gates of Heaven Dou City.

One large and one small figure appeared there, leaving the guards at the city gates somewhat dazed.

"Wonderful, Zhongli! We're finally back!"

Paimon spread her arms as though she wanted to embrace all of Heaven Dou City.

During this journey, she had come to miss the food of Heaven Dou City more and more.

"I wonder if Xue... Qinghe, right, Qinghe, has missed us!"

"And the owner of the Seven Treasure Hotel."

"Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect..."

"Auntie Wang, who sells buns..."

Zhongli crossed his arms and glanced sideways at Paimon, who was still chattering away.

Had Paimon's memory been entirely devoted to caching people and food?

She forgot other things quickly, but she never forgot the people she had met or the food she liked.

"Zhongli, now that we're finally back, let's go to the Seven Treasure Hotel and have a grand feast first!"

With stars in her eyes, Paimon spoke to Zhongli in a probing tone.

She rubbed her hands together, her expectant expression completely undisguised.

"If you wish it, then let us go."

"Wonderful!"

"Let's go, let's go! Seven Treasure Hotel!"

After receiving Zhongli's answer, Paimon became as excited as a child and hurriedly flew toward the Seven Treasure Hotel.

Seeing this, Zhongli shook his head and silently followed behind Paimon.

The little fellow truly had not eaten anything good during this time. She was somewhat pitiful.

"Zhongli, hurry up, hurry up! Don't walk like some eighty-year-old grandpa..."

At that point, Paimon froze as though she had thought of something, quickly swallowing the rest of her words.

An eighty-year-old grandpa?

Was that supposed to be praising Zhongli for being young?

He was at least six thousand years old!

As for Zhongli's exact age, no one but himself knew.

After all, he was someone suspected of having witnessed the battle between the First Throne and the Second Throne...

"Um, Zhongli, Paimon, hello."

Suddenly, a somewhat cool voice rang out, snapping Paimon back to her senses.

She subconsciously looked toward the source of the voice and found a black-haired, long, straight, and well-endowed girl.

She was a young girl. Judging by the childishness still on her face, she should not have been very old.

Yet her height and figure were truly rather confusing.

"Eh, aren't you... aren't you that..."

"That Zhu Zhuqing?"

"Right, Zhu Zhuqing! Paimon wouldn't remember wrong!"

Paimon put her hands on her hips and said proudly.

"Yes, I am Zhu Zhuqing."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded at Paimon, then shifted her gaze back to Zhongli beside her.

"During what happened last time, only you spoke up for Zhongli and me. You're a good person!"

Zhu Zhuqing had barely looked away when Paimon's words followed, making her turn to look at Paimon again.

"What they did was wrong. It's just a pity that I wasn't strong enough. Otherwise..."

"I definitely would have taught them a proper lesson!"

After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing looked away again and turned her gaze to Zhongli.

"So that's how it is. Zhu Zhuqing, Zhongli and I are about to go eat at the Seven Treasure Hotel. Is there something you need?"

Zhu Zhuqing fell silent and shot Paimon a slightly resentful glance. Why was this little fellow so meddlesome?

"No, I don't need anything."

"If you don't need anything, would you like to come eat with us?"

Out of courtesy, Paimon instinctively extended the invitation.

Just like when she had invited Qian Renxue to eat, it was merely polite small talk.

Of course, if the other party wanted to come, Paimon would not say anything. Eating together would make things livelier anyway.

Besides, it was not Paimon and Zhongli who would be paying!

At those words, the resentment in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes vanished completely. How had she not noticed before that Paimon was so adorable?

"I have no problem with that. I just don't know whether I would disturb you."

"No, no, right, Zhongli!"

God's Mouth had completed her work, and the scene shifted to Zhongli.

"If the young lady does not mind and has the time, then there is no harm in joining us."

"How could I mind..."

"I have plenty of time!"

Paimon: "???"

For some reason, Paimon felt that things were not so simple!

The way Zhu Zhuqing looked at Zhongli was practically dripping with affection. It was truly difficult to understand!

While taking a break from cultivation, Zhu Zhuqing had left Blue Tyrant Academy to clear her mind.

That environment was not very suitable for her.

It was filled with hypocrisy and affectation.

Ever since meeting Zhongli last time, the dreams that had once "troubled" her had strangely disappeared, leaving Zhu Zhuqing utterly puzzled.

She wanted to see Zhongli again, to find out whether he could make those dreams return, and perhaps see whether, just as in those dreams, she could become friends with Zhongli.

Yes, just friends. Purely friends.

The Zhongli in her dreams had been very pure and straightforward toward her.

How strange. Qian Renxue is like this, and Zhu Zhuqing is like this too. What exactly is the reason?

With Zhongli's discernment, he could naturally see the unusual behavior of both Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing.

Especially when Qian Renxue first met him, and when Zhu Zhuqing first met him.

This was his second meeting with Zhu Zhuqing, yet the way she looked at him was as though she were looking at an old friend.

How could Zhongli not be puzzled?

Though he had some doubts in his heart, Zhongli did not ask them aloud.
