A new chapter of the story had begun, and the Book Friends staying up late to follow the updates were naturally delighted.
And this time, it seemed the author had not used aliases, but their real names!
That left them astonished.
Could it be that the author thought coming up with aliases was too troublesome and required too much brainpower?
So the author had simply used their real names instead?
No matter what, the story still had to be read.
But after reading the contents, they were truly shocked.
Among the Book Friends were some who knew the Zhu Family and the Star Luo Royal Family quite well.
They quickly explained certain matters.
With that background understood, the story became even more explosive.
A fiancée suffering alone in the Star Luo Empire.
Searching for her fiancé in order to survive.
Yet the fiancé who had escaped years ago was living a life of debauchery.
He even had countless old flames?
The key was that after they recognized each other, Dai Mubai repeatedly went into the city to seek out his old flames.
He did not care about his fiancée at all.
As Dai Mubai's fiancée, Zhu Zhuqing had struggled to survive, only to ultimately have no choice but to forgive that old lecher?
She even had to silently endure his womanizing.
And pretend to be oblivious whenever he went looking for his old flames?
Was a wife at home really less appealing than a mistress outside?
Dai Mubai was truly disgusting!
Zhu Zhuqing had already finished reading the contents.
She was the first to follow the update!
Cultivation was dull and tedious, and she was currently on her way to Shrek Academy.
Although she had endured several assassination attempts, the appearance of the Storybook had changed her life.
Leaving comments earned rewards.
With those rewards, her strength had improved considerably, and she had repeatedly escaped danger.
Now, upon seeing that a new chapter had been released—
She had thought the title meant there was some juicy gossip to enjoy.
But she never could have imagined that the opening few dozen words would strike her like a blow to the head.
The gossip had landed on her own head!
This time, the author was not even pretending anymore and had directly used their real names.
How was she supposed to describe herself in the story?
Later on, she seemed somewhat like a resentful woman trapped in the inner chambers.
She had to endure her husband seeking pleasure among women!
Yet she could not stop him from doing anything.
"Dai Mubai... so you're this kind of person!"
In the forest beneath the night sky, Zhu Zhuqing hid in a tree.
At her current stage, she did not dare stay in any town, afraid that the Zhu Family's assassins would find her.
During the time she had been on the run, she had not even eaten a single decent meal.
Every day, she lived in fear!
She feared that the assassins would appear the very next moment.
This experience would undoubtedly remain unforgettable for the rest of her life.
She had thought that as long as she found Dai Mubai, her fate could be changed.
If she remained in the Zhu Family while Dai Mubai never appeared—
Then once the Eldest Prince inherited the throne, she would lose her usefulness and would certainly be killed.
Therefore, if she wanted to survive, she had to find Dai Mubai.
With their martial spirits working together, they would surely be able to unleash formidable power.
As long as Dai Mubai could seize the throne, she would have hope of surviving.
But deep down, she also longed for freedom.
That was a deeply contradictory thing.
On one hand, she wanted to survive; on the other, she wanted freedom.
And now, after seeing the contents of the Storybook, she felt despair.
Could a Dai Mubai like this really seize the throne?
What could someone who spent all day indulging in pleasure accomplish, no matter how talented he was?
If she truly married him, even if she survived in the end, her entire life would still be ruined.
Ever since she was young, although she never said anything, she had resisted the political marriage in her heart.
She even envied the birds in the sky and the girls born into ordinary families.
They seemed freer, able to pursue love and the life they wanted according to their own wishes.
But in the Zhu Family, she existed solely to serve the struggle for power.
The despairing Zhu Zhuqing was now utterly lost.
Should she still go to Shrek Academy?
Judging from the Storybook's contents, by the time of the Soul Master Tournament in her future, she seemed to have already forgiven Dai Mubai.
Or rather, she had endured Dai Mubai's personality.
Even though Dai Mubai had continued secretly seeking out those old flames during that time—
She had pretended not to see anything.
If she searched her heart—
Was she truly happy? Did she truly not mind?
Or was staying with Dai Mubai merely for the sake of survival?
Feeling lost and helpless, Zhu Zhuqing opened the Book Review Section. She knew people would definitely be discussing it now.
She wanted to see what others had to say!
Perhaps they could give her some ideas.
Sure enough, opening the Book Review Section brought a surprise.
[Glazed Baby: 'That old lecher! He isn't worth forgiving! Which talented person is Zhu Zhuqing, exactly? Can you state your position?']
[Pink Rabbit: 'Scumbag. He's comparable to Yu Xiaogang!']
[Angel Without Parents: 'There are so many scumbags. Is the soft and adorable kitty among the Book Friends?']
[Green Wild Goose: 'Just guessing, @Nether Cat, that's you, right?']
[Glazed Baby: 'Wow~ The victim is here? So do you still want to forgive that scumbag?']
[Spider Emperor Douluo: '@Nether Cat? Is it really you? As a Book Friend, I can offer you some help. Are you interested?']
The Pope was offering help?
The Book Friends were all stunned.
Bibi Dong was the most powerful woman on the Douluo Continent.
If she was willing to intervene in Zhu Zhuqing's affairs, it really was possible for her fate to change.
But why would she help her?
[Nether Cat: 'It's me, Zhu Zhuqing. So years later, I forgave a Seven-Star Whore-Bug? How should I put this? It hurts a little.']
[Glazed Baby: 'It really is you? Of course it hurts. A scumbag like that isn't worth forgiving! The Pope wants to help you, so think it over?']
[Nether Cat: 'No, she wants to start a war!']
Although Zhu Zhuqing felt miserable about her own future—
After reading Bibi Dong's story, she knew Bibi Dong was no good person either.
Now that Bibi Dong had expressed her willingness to help, perhaps she merely wanted to use her.
A woman who wanted to start a war was absolutely insane.
She would not truly be so kind-hearted.
[Spider Emperor Douluo: 'A clever child. So, shall we make a deal?']
[Nether Cat: 'No!']
Zhu Zhuqing refused very decisively.
Getting involved with Bibi Dong could not possibly lead to anything good.
She might even be completely controlled by her!
[Spider Emperor Douluo: 'What a pity. Think it over slowly. Whenever you figure it out, come find me.']
Bibi Dong did not give up.
Zhu Zhuqing seemed to be nothing more than a tool for political marriage, seemingly insignificant.
But if used properly, she could still deal a devastating blow to the Star Luo Empire.
Zhu Zhuqing had opened the Book Review Section because she wanted to see what others thought, perhaps to draw some inspiration from them.
And now, she seemed to have made up her mind.
[Nether Cat: 'I'm going to Shrek Academy!']
[Glazed Baby: 'Shocking! You're actually going to find that old lecher? Do you really want to forgive him? Then you should call yourself Green Cat from now on!']
[Green Wild Goose: '@Glazed Baby, do you have something against green?']
[Glazed Baby: 'Friendly fire, friendly fire. Don't mind those little details. @Nether Cat, since you're going to Shrek Academy, shall we travel together? Find a place and meet up offline?']
