Zhu Zhuqing Leaves Dai Mubai! Coward!

Why?

Why could the version of herself in that world be so happy?

Tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"Zhuqing..."

Xiao Wu, standing beside her, wanted to offer comfort but didn't know what to say.

Just then.

Dai Mubai, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly erupted.

He jerked his head up, his eyes bloodshot, and roared at the Sky Screen:

"It's fake!"

"It's all fake!"

"He's acting! This must be an act!"

Like a madman, Dai Mubai rushed over to Zhu Zhuqing and grabbed her shoulders, shaking her.

"Zhuqing, don't believe that!"

"That's all just a facade put on by that guy!"

"He's nothing but a playboy! He's lying to you!"

"Only I! Only I am real!"

His voice was loud, bordering on hysterical.

Spittle sprayed onto Zhu Zhuqing's face.

Zhu Zhuqing did not move.

She simply watched the man before her in silence.

She watched his face, twisted by jealousy and fear.

It was clearly the same face.

Why was the difference so vast?

The one on the Sky Screen was confident, powerful, and gentle.

The one before her was cowardly, selfish, and ugly.

"Let go."

Zhu Zhuqing spoke coldly.

"What did you say?"

Dai Mubai froze for a moment, his grip only tightening.

"I am your fiancé! You're telling me to let go?"

"You've been staring at that pretty boy with such longing, haven't you?"

"Are you thinking of going to that world to find him?"

"Slap!"

A crisp sound of a slap interrupted Dai Mubai's roar.

Zhu Zhuqing pulled her hand back.

Her gaze was as cold as ice.

"Dai Mubai, you are truly disgusting."

"Look clearly."

"The one up there is protecting me."

"And you."

"Only know how to vent your anger on me here."

Zhu Zhuqing shoved Dai Mubai away.

She took a deep breath, as if she had made a decision.

"From today on."

"I, Zhu Zhuqing, and you, Dai Mubai, have nothing more to do with each other."

"You take your high road, and I'll walk my own path."

Having said that.

She turned around and walked out of the Shrek Seven Devils group without looking back.

Her silhouette was resolute.

"Zhuqing!"

Tang San wanted to stop her.

But seeing the chilling aura of rejection radiating from Zhu Zhuqing, his outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

Dai Mubai clutched his face, standing dazed where he was.

He watched Zhu Zhuqing's retreating back.

It was just like that rainy night when he pushed that old soldier away.

Once again, he had personally pushed away the only person who could have redeemed him.

The surrounding crowd watched this scene, but not a single person felt sympathy for him.

Instead, scattered applause broke out.

"Good riddance!"

"A scumbag like that should have been dumped long ago!"

"Good for you, girl! Don't hang yourself on that crooked tree!"

Listening to these words, Dai Mubai felt the world spinning around him.

A mouthful of blood sprayed out directly.

Then, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted from rage.

White World.

Imperial Garden.

Watching the disheveled, unconscious form of the dark Dai Mubai on the Sky Screen, a burst of laughter erupted.

"Serves him right!"

Xiao Wu laughed until she was doubled over, barely able to hold onto the large fan in her hand.

"A person like that deserves to grow old alone."

"Our sister Zhuqing really has a good eye."

As she spoke, Xiao Wu leaned in toward Dai Mubai, deliberately saying in a sour tone:

"Brother, look at how obedient sister Zhuqing was back then."

"She let you touch her face the moment you met."

"Unlike me, when I first met you, I even got into a fight with you."

Dai Mubai smiled helplessly.

"Was that a fight?"

"That was you trying to scam me."

"You insisted on snatching that Carrot Doll from me."

At this moment, Qian Renxue also walked over.

She looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was still blushing in Dai Mubai's arms, a hint of mischief flashing in her eyes.

"But seriously."

"Someone once said that as long as they were safe, they would be willing to do anything."

"Looking at it now, she even ended up paying with herself."

Zhu Zhuqing was now so embarrassed she couldn't even lift her head.

She buried her face in Dai Mubai's chest, her voice as thin as a mosquito's hum:

"That was... that was to repay a debt of gratitude..."

"Repay a debt?"

Dai Mubai raised an eyebrow, deliberately teasing her.

"Then this repayment is taking quite a long time."

"How many years has it been now?"

"Are you planning to keep repaying it for a lifetime?"

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly lifted her head.

Those clear, large eyes stared straight at Dai Mubai.

This time, she did not look away.

"It is for a lifetime."

"A day less, an hour less, and it doesn't count."

This sudden declaration of love left even Dai Mubai stunned for a moment.

Immediately after.

The smile on his face grew even more radiant.

He held the girl in his arms tightly, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Wu and Qian Renxue nearby.

"Alright."

"Then it shall be a lifetime."

"None of you are allowed to run away."

Xiao Wu and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance; although they feigned disdain, the smiles at the corners of their eyes could not be hidden.

In the Imperial Garden, laughter and joy filled the air.

The Sky Screen did not give the people of the Black World much time to catch their breath.

The images shifted.

Golden radiance condensed once more upon the Sky Screen, drawing everyone's attention back to the space-time known as the White World.

This time, the scene was not in the Star Dou Great Forest, but had shifted to the magnificent and opulent Soul Fighting Arena of the Star Luo Imperial Family.

The massive arena was constructed from solid granite, with banners fluttering all around it.

In the spectator stands sat the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire, along with a host of royal relatives and ministers.

Standing in the center of the arena were two youths.

One was the Dai Mubai of the White World, who had grown slightly older.

The other was Dai Weisi, who was several years his senior.

At this moment, Dai Mubai had just obtained his first soul ring.

This was the moment the imperial family valued most, and a critical juncture for testing the talent and future of a prince.

Black World.

The area where the members of Shrek Academy were located.

Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, his face, which always appeared somewhat rigid, now carrying a hint of scrutiny.

He looked at the Sky Screen, his tone very certain:

"The White Tiger Martial Soul of the Star Luo Imperial Family is a top-tier beast martial soul."

"According to the theory of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, and the characteristics of the White Tiger Martial Soul, the best choice for the first soul ring must be a defensive soul skill."

"That is, the White Tiger Protection Barrier."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang turned to look at Tang San beside him, as if conducting an on-site lesson.

"Tang San, you must remember."

"Although power attack system soul masters focus primarily on offense, at low levels, one's own survivability is especially important."

"Only by standing firm can you deal damage."

"This is an ironclad rule of the soul master world, and the optimal solution verified by countless predecessors."

Tang San nodded, his eyes filled with conviction in his teacher.

"Teacher is right."

"Without defensive skills, once you are engaged in close quarters or suffer a surprise attack, it is very easy to fall into a passive position."

Many soul masters nearby heard this high-level theory from the Grandmaster and nodded in agreement.

After all, although the title of "Grandmaster" was a joke in the eyes of some high-level figures, it still held some weight in the hearts of low-to-mid-level soul masters and ordinary people.
