Zhu Zhuqing was no fool. Xiao Wu would not have called her out for no reason.
Something must have been up.
Could it have been because of Lin Ye?
That was possible. She had been talking to Lin Ye outside their room—how could Xiao Wu not be jealous?
Everyone staying at the Rose Hotel was part of a couple. Lin Ye and Xiao Wu were very likely in that sort of relationship.
So Xiao Wu was nervous and wanted to declare war on her, or give her a warning?
Xiao Wu released her hand and said with a giggle, "I know you can hear Lin Ye's inner thoughts too, right?"
"Mm, what?"
Zhu Zhuqing answered instinctively, then immediately came to her senses.
Inner thoughts!
She could hear them too?
That was the key phrase!
"Could it be that you can hear his inner thoughts too?"
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned. At first, she had thought she was special.
She had never expected that someone else could hear them too.
That made her even more curious.
Being able to hear someone's inner voice was already an eerie and bizarre thing.
Now that another person could hear it too, matters seemed to have become more complicated.
Or rather, Lin Ye was a very special person.
That was why they could hear his inner thoughts.
As for anyone else's inner voice, they could not hear it at all.
Xiao Wu giggled. "Of course I can. I've been hearing his inner thoughts for six years."
"At first, I thought I was special. For six years, I was the only one who could hear his inner thoughts."
"Now, you're the second."
"I'm the second?"
Zhu Zhuqing was very surprised.
Lin Ye's inner thoughts had begun six years ago, but she had not heard them back then.
For the past six years, Xiao Wu had been the only one to hear them.
So there was a certain distance limit to the inner thoughts.
They could only be heard within a specific range, and there also had to be a specific object.
"So why exactly did you bring me out here?"
Zhu Zhuqing did not quite understand. Although hearing another person's inner thoughts was indeed unusual,
there seemed to be no need to bring her out here.
Xiao Wu's expression gradually turned serious.
"Do you know? For six years, I've been hearing Lin Ye's inner thoughts, and because of that, I confirmed something."
"What?"
"I believe you sensed it today as well. Lin Ye knows many things, even things about the future."
"He is omniscient and omnipotent!"
Over those six years, Xiao Wu had indeed heard quite a few things about herself.
She had also heard plenty about Tang San.
For example, Tang San's future, Tang San's abilities, Opportunities, and so on.
Six years was enough for her to learn far too many things.
It was precisely because she had heard those inner thoughts and learned about the future that she grew even more disgusted with Tang San.
Even to the point of hating him to the bone.
Tang San was a petty man, a petty man who plotted against her.
And Tang Hao!
If not for Lin Ye, her fate might have unfolded just as his inner thoughts had revealed.
In the end, although she would become a god,
she would lose her freedom.
And Da Ming and Er Ming would sacrifice themselves for Tang San.
Once Tang San became a god, he would not be friendly toward the Soul Beasts.
Ten thousand years later, the Star Dou Great Forest's area would be drastically reduced, and the number of Soul Beasts would plummet.
And the source of it all could be said to have started with Tang San—or rather, Tang Hao.
This father and son were simply the greatest enemies of the Soul Beasts.
They specialized in harming Soul Beasts over a hundred thousand years old.
Zhu Zhuqing was dumbfounded by Xiao Wu's words.
He knew things about the future?
Was that an ability to foresee the future, or something else?
Could such an ability truly be wielded by a human?
"He really knows things about the future?"
Zhu Zhuqing was deeply shocked.
If someone knew everything that would happen in the future, wouldn't that be defying heaven itself?
"Of course he does. That's what I've learned over six years. So he knows your situation very well too."
"Don't you find it strange? He had never met you, yet he recognized you."
Xiao Wu's words reminded Zhu Zhuqing of when they first met that day.
He had only caught sight of her from afar.
Yet he had recognized her.
She was certain that before then, she had never met him and did not know him at all.
"So if you want to change your fate, he may be able to help you."
At those words, Zhu Zhuqing fell silent for a long time.
There seemed to be struggle in her heart, but also anticipation.
She desperately wanted to change her fate.
If her fate was tied to Dai Mubai, what a terrifying thing that would be.
Dai Mubai was absolutely not a suitable match.
One could tell exactly what kind of person he was from what he had done so far.
He had no sense of responsibility whatsoever, and he bullied the weak by relying on his strength.
"Then how can I make him help me?"
Zhu Zhuqing's expression gradually became serious.
She truly wanted Lin Ye's help, but did not know how to ask.
Was she supposed to tell Lin Ye, I heard your inner thoughts, so please help me change my fate?
If she really did that, Lin Ye would definitely run away, and she would never be able to find him again in this life.
"Actually, it's simple. You just need to go to Shrek Academy."
"By staying at his side, you'll be able to hear his inner thoughts. Naturally, you'll learn many things, including what you'll experience in the future."
"Thank you."
"No need to thank me. We should become very good friends."
Xiao Wu said with a giggle.
Since they were both people who could hear Lin Ye's inner thoughts, they should tie themselves together.
Only by joining forces would they become stronger.
Especially when it came to Tang San!
Tang San had far too many Opportunities.
If Tang San obtained them, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Yes, we'll become good friends."
Zhu Zhuqing was no fool.
Now that they had something in common, becoming friends was undoubtedly the best choice.
If they became enemies, she would be at a disadvantage.
Because Lin Ye was by Xiao Wu's side.
Through Lin Ye, Xiao Wu could quickly obtain all kinds of important Opportunities and rapidly grow stronger.
"Then let's go back. We'll report to Shrek tomorrow."
Xiao Wu took Zhu Zhuqing's hand again, and the two headed toward the Rose Hotel.
By then, Lin Ye had long since gone to sleep, waiting to check in tomorrow.
"We're staying together?"
Zhu Zhuqing felt a little troubled.
Following Xiao Wu into the room and seeing Lin Ye already sleeping soundly, she found it hard to accept.
There were two rooms in the suite, but sharing the same suite with a strange man still felt rather awkward.
"We're not sleeping in the same bed. What are you afraid of?"
Xiao Wu pushed Zhu Zhuqing into the room.
Then, under Zhu Zhuqing's astonished gaze, she picked up a pillow and prepared to leave.
"Y-you, where are you going?"
"To sleep with A Ye. Without A Ye, I get insomnia."
Xiao Wu answered as if it were only natural.
That was how it had been for six years.
She was not picky about beds, but the person on the bed was important.
If she slept alone, she truly could not fall asleep.
With a giant "body pillow" beside her, sleeping was much more comfortable.
Zhu Zhuqing stood there dumbfounded. She had not expected the two of them to have already been sleeping together.
At that moment, she felt incredibly bright—brighter than the ceiling light!
Xiao Wu entered the bedroom, swiftly took off her shoes, tossed aside her pillow, and lay down, draping one long leg over Lin Ye.
Then she adjusted her position and finally fell asleep comfortably.
