Book Friend Offline Meetup, Cast a Wide Net

A Book Friend's suggestion moved Zhu Zhuqing.

She wanted to go to Shrek Academy and see Dai Mubai, to find out whether he was really as the Storybook described.

A Seven-Star Whore-Bug!

If he truly was, she could completely give up on him.

Deep down, she already basically no longer doubted the Storybook's contents.

The stories of the two Book Friends seemed to have both proven true.

What the Storybook described included not only their pasts, but also their futures.

If nothing changed, then her ultimate fate should be exactly as the Storybook had described.

Forgiving the Seven-Star Whore-Bug and ultimately living an unhappy life.

What woman could endure her man spending every day drinking and whoring outside?

At the very least, she could not endure it.

[Nether Cat: 'Let's find a place to meet.']

[Glazed Baby: 'Yay~ An offline meetup, how exciting! Wait for me, I'll come find you.']

Ning Rongrong was excited.

She was currently carefree, living a very comfortable little life.

And she really was on her way to Shrek Academy.

When she had read Xiao Wu's story, she had found it rather entertaining.

Or rather, she had watched it with a hint of a spectator's mentality.

Yet she had never expected it to mention Shrek Academy!

Wasn't that the academy she had been preparing to attend?

She had never expected there to be Book Friends inside the academy.

Even less had she expected the academy to be filled with so many extraordinary people.

The Double-Standard Hammer King, and now a Seven-Star Whore-Bug.

Too exciting!

After agreeing on a meeting place with Zhu Zhuqing, she hurried there in a fluster.

She did not know that someone was following behind her.

The little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had slipped out, yet no one was secretly protecting her?

No one would believe that if it were said aloud.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had long since assigned people to follow her in secret and ensure her safety along the way.

Up in a tree, Zhu Zhuqing adjusted her mindset before rushing toward the agreed meeting place.

She felt a little uneasy about meeting a Book Friend.

Judging from her manner of speaking, Glazed Baby should not be very old.

Perhaps she was around Zhu Zhuqing's age.

They were both heading to the academy, so they might very well become classmates.

The Storybook had mentioned that she made some friends at the academy.

So Glazed Baby was very likely one of the friends she would come to know.

The other Book Friends were quite curious about the two meeting offline.

Xiao Wu pondered it to herself.

Since that was the case, it would be nice for her to go join the fun too.

But she could not reveal that she intended to go.

What if Bibi Dong made things difficult for her?

Her identity had already been exposed. Though Bibi Dong had said she would not kill her, she still might make things difficult for her.

One must not let down one's guard against others!

Even if they were all Book Friends, she still had to remain cautious.

There were still no leads on finding the Storybook's author, so she could only try her luck elsewhere first.

Besides, she was quite curious about the identities of the other Netizens.

Furthermore, everyone had a Storybook. Perhaps they could join forces to find the author, which should make things easier.

Anything was better than having no clue and running around like a headless fly.

On Ye Mu's side, he set off early the next morning and hurried toward Spirit City.

Along the way, he wondered why Zhu Zhuqing had not started asking for updates yet.

Was she not anxious to learn her future fate?

That should not be the case.

Both Xiao Wu and Bibi Dong had asked for updates!

Knowing one's future fate was important.

Once one knew it, one could reverse fate along the way.

Even a tiny change could send fate down an entirely different path.

"Looks like I need to cast a wide net. There are so many Book Friends!"

After pondering for quite some time, he finally figured out what to do.

Since Zhu Zhuqing was not ready to ask for updates, he would take the initiative.

He could write an opening for every Book Friend's story.

He believed quite a few of them would be unable to resist asking for updates!

After writing part of Zhu Zhuqing's story last night, the progress bar had already reached eighty-five percent.

At this rate, he should be able to complete his Martial Soul Evolution before returning to Spirit City.

He was rather looking forward to seeing what his evolved Martial Soul would be like.

Sitting in the carriage with nothing to do, he browsed through the Book Review Section.

There had been quite a few Book Friend comments after last night's story.

Especially regarding the conversation between Bibi Dong and Zhu Zhuqing.

Offering Zhu Zhuqing help?

That crazy woman would not be so kindhearted.

She definitely wanted to use Zhu Zhuqing against the Star Luo Empire.

Do not be fooled by the fact that Zhu Zhuqing was merely a tool for a political marriage.

So long as she was used properly, she could still serve a tremendous purpose.

The Star Luo Royal Family's power struggle was quite interesting.

In the end, only one person could become emperor, while everyone else had to die!

Princes who failed to contend for the throne would be killed; that was a tradition of the Star Luo Empire.

Likewise, the failed princes' consorts would be implicated and doomed to die.

Bibi Dong surely knew this, so she wanted to use Zhu Zhuqing.

She likely intended to strengthen Zhu Zhuqing and have her join forces with Dai Mubai, ultimately fighting Dai Weisi, the Eldest Prince, to a bitter standstill.

If both sides suffered heavy losses, it might trigger infighting within the Star Luo Royal Family.

From the current situation, the Star Luo Royal Family valued Dai Weisi more.

Because Dai Weisi's current achievements were greater.

A prince frightened into fleeing was simply not worth the Star Luo Royal Family's higher-ups supporting.

Zhu Zhuqing was clever enough to see through Bibi Dong's scheme, so she did not agree.

If she had agreed, Zhu Zhuqing's fate might have changed.

But it might not necessarily have changed for the better.

"Glazed Baby... the Book Friend offline meetup. Their fated encounter was bound to happen eventually."

After reading most of the Book Friends' comments.

Many people sympathized with Zhu Zhuqing's situation.

But they also felt she had failed to live up to expectations.

Zhu Zhuqing had not explained why she still wanted to go to Shrek Academy.

Therefore, some Book Friends believed she might be going to find Dai Mubai.

Perhaps it was to survive, or perhaps she still had feelings for Dai Mubai.

Even Ye Mu had this suspicion.

The inertia of the plot was terrifying.

Who knew whether Zhu Zhuqing would truly make up her mind to forgive Dai Mubai?

In the end, the two might join forces and, just as in the original plot, change their fates.

It seemed Zhu Zhuqing's story still had to be continued.

And it could not be delayed for too long.

As for Shrek Academy?

He did plan to go take a look.

It was just that, considering his current Soul Power Level, going there seemed useless.

Or should he join Shrek Academy?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Shrek Academy did not have enough books for him to raise his Soul Power.

The Library was where he was best suited to stay.

In a sense, the Library was like his personal Mimicry Cultivation Field.

His cultivation speed in the Library would definitely be much faster than anywhere else.

Of course, aside from cultivating in the Library, there were other ways to improve his cultivation.

For example, some Immortal Herbs!

There were quite a few Immortal Herbs in Sunset Forest.

With his familiarity with the plot, obtaining those Immortal Herbs did not seem difficult.

But that place was rather dangerous. If he rashly barged in, he would likely run into serious trouble.

He might even encounter Poison Douluo and lose his life.
