Zhu Zhuqing's Reaction

God Realm.

Inside the palace where the God of Speed resides.

Zhu Zhuqing, with her proud figure draped in a black cutout gown, was meditating. Her long black hair drifted slowly with the fluctuations of energy.

[Welcome to the (Harem Family) Chat Group]

The sound rang out abruptly in the quiet boudoir, and Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes in an instant.

Hum!

With a cold expression, the energy that had been circling her dispersed, spreading throughout the entire bedchamber. Her long hair surged upward, and her white, towering peaks heaved with the energy fluctuations as she rapidly scanned the surroundings for intruders!

The black gown on her legs fluttered slightly, revealing her two jade-white, crossed legs.

"Who goes there!"

Finding nothing, Zhu Zhuqing grew even more tense. The voice from just a moment ago did not sound fake. Cat ears emerged atop her head, a tail sprouted from behind, and with a swish, she appeared before the door.

Ding, ding, ding!

Ding, ding, ding!

As her arm reached for the handle, a transparent screen suddenly appeared before her eyes, displaying text.

Seeing this bizarre sight, the cat ears on Zhu Zhuqing's head stood up instinctively!

Watching the messages flash by, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly felt her brain struggling to keep up. Who could possibly possess such powerful illusions?

"Zhuqing, are you alright? I sensed you using your martial soul?"

Dai Mubai's voice rang out from outside, his tone laced with a hint of nervousness.

Hearing the voice outside, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up—not because she had found a crutch, but because she realized she could have him fetch someone.

"Mubai, quickly go call Third Brother. My eyes are currently..."

Dai Mubai outside hadn't even finished listening when he felt a sudden surge of energy. Before he could react, a powerful bolt of lightning descended from within the room.

BOOM!!!

Dai Mubai was knocked back violently. As he looked up again, Zhu Zhuqing's scream reached his ears: "Ahhh~~~"

"Hey, hey, hey, Zhuqing, are you okay?"

Judging by that scream, it didn't sound like she was okay at all...

Dai Mubai suddenly remembered her asking him to find Tang San, so he hurriedly turned around.

"Zhuqing, wait for me to go get Little San."

Inside the room, Zhu Zhuqing was on her knees, her waist arched, hands pressing firmly against the door, teeth tightly clenched. Her black cutout gown had been reduced to a tattered lace style.

Her jade-like, beautiful back was left exposed.

Tremble~

"Ugh~"

Zhu Zhuqing tried to stand up, but after her legs and hands shook for a long time, she couldn't hold on. As soon as she stood up, she collapsed.

Her knees hit the floor heavily, making a "thud" sound.

"So painful."

The fall itself didn't hurt; she was referring to the lightning strike from just a moment ago.

She didn't dare voice her suspicions again, fearing the next bolt of lightning!

She could only mutter to herself, wondering why she had been struck by lightning just as she was about to speak of the strange voice in her head.

Could this be some sort of special restriction, forbidding her from spreading the word?

The punishment wasn't severe; it had only ruined her clothes, not even injuring her skin. After a moment, she recovered and stood up from the floor. Feeling the cool breeze against her back, a flush of red instantly climbed up Zhu Zhuqing's face.

With the speed of a civet cat, she swished and changed into a new set of clothes.

Ding~

After she finished changing, the sound rang out in her mind, and the screen from earlier reappeared.

There was a button to jump to the top for new group members. Though she didn't understand the temporary display of these things, Zhu Zhuqing, while confused, began to analyze it herself.

Returning to the top to check the messages sent by these people, everything had been calm until she scrolled to a photo!

"Wutong?"

As the first born among their Seven Devils and the little princess, she was naturally doted on by everyone. It was impossible for her not to know her; upon seeing the picture sent by Wang Dong'er, the name instantly popped into her mind.

"Douluo Planet?"

"Is this something from the lower realm? That's impossible. The threat of death just now was real."

Zhu Zhuqing rubbed her chin in thought.

"Zhuqing! Zhuqing!"

Dai Mubai's shouts suddenly rang out from outside the door. Following behind him was the helper he had summoned, Tang San, who also wore a tense expression. After all, they were all pawns in the fight against the God King of Destruction, and they did not want any accidents to occur.

"Tang San, Tang San, hurry and help Zhu Zhuqing see what happened! I was just knocked back by a powerful energy fluctuation."

Tang San furrowed his brows; although he was very dissatisfied with that nickname, now was not the time to dwell on it.

"Alright."

"Zhu Zhuqing, Boss Dai said you were in trouble, so I came to check on you. May I come in?"

"Ah—oh!"

Zhu Zhuqing had been interrupted before she could finish her research, and with no time to close the screen, she had to face the door to answer while bearing the massive display.

"You can come in, but I'm fine now. I just ran into some minor issues while cultivating."

She wouldn't dare mention the electric shocks, so she could only brush it off; besides, if she told anyone about this, they might just think she was a fool.

"Understood, sorry to disturb you."

Hearing the invitation, Tang San and Dai Mubai said their apologies and pushed the door open to enter.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's somewhat pale face, it was obvious that something had happened.

Dai Mubai asked nervously.

"Zhuqing, I heard you crying out in pain from inside the room just now. Are you hurt anywhere?"

"No, it was just a backlash from my cultivation, that's why it happened."

Zhu Zhuqing's mouth twitched as she continued her perfunctory explanation.

Seeing this, Tang San narrowed his eyes, feeling that something was a bit off.

"Sorry to bother you, Third Brother. It really is just an issue with my cultivation technique. I'll be fine after a short rest, so there's no need to trouble you both."

Now that she wasn't being shocked, Zhu Zhuqing finally managed to think clearly. She needed to study this group chat, as it was constantly obstructing her vision, which would be a huge disadvantage if a real battle were to break out.

Therefore, she wanted to get Tang San and the others to leave quickly so she could figure out how to close it. If she accidentally said something out loud while researching and got shocked again, it would be a disaster!

"Ah, are you sure? Don't you need a check-up? I was knocked back several meters while standing outside the door just now. If it's a cultivation issue, you should take it more seriously."

"It's not necessary, Third Brother. Mubai, if there really is an issue, I will come find you."

Having been rejected, both men felt it was strange; she wasn't usually like this.

However, this time Zhu Zhuqing didn't give them a chance to linger and pushed them out.

"Hey, hey~"

Dai Mubai, being pushed, didn't understand what was happening. When he turned his head back, he couldn't even see Zhu Zhuqing's face, only a door that had just been shut.

Click.

The door closed, and Zhu Zhuqing spoke to the two people outside through the wood.

"Sorry, I really want to rest now. If there is truly something wrong, I will come and tell you."

Tang San and Dai Mubai were both left stunned outside the door.

"This..."

"Forget it. Since she said so, it's not right to keep pestering her. If you need anything, just come find me, Boss Dai. I'm heading off."

Tang San couldn't help if she wouldn't speak, so he offered a word of comfort before turning to leave.

"Alright, sorry for the trouble, Tang San."

Dai Mubai shook his head, took one last look at the door, and then returned to his own quarters.
