Background / History

Zhu Zhuqing comes from the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire’s royal circle. Her family has intermarried with the White Tiger family for generations, tying her fate to Dai Mubai and the competition against Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun. She seeks to survive without becoming a sacrifice to the clans’ power struggle. 50 100

After travelling to Shrek Academy in search of Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing finds him living decadently rather than preparing to face their shared danger. Her hopes of relying on him collapse, but she later senses that her Hell Spirit Cat resonates with Qian Yun’s Crown martial soul. 50

She approaches Qian Yun and Hu Liena, requesting a test of the resonance. Their attempt succeeds, creating the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Nether King. Qian Yun promises to assist her at the Elite Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition, giving her renewed hope that she can change her fate. 49 50

Personality
