Eyeing Her Before Her Husband?

Su Ge was not surprised after hearing the news about tomorrow's curriculum from Tang San and Xiao Wu.

It was just a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest; he had traveled there alone many times and for long durations, but this time, the possibility of encountering three specific things made it different from his usual solo excursions.

There were the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny, that couple from the Exotic Beast Academy, the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming, and Tang San's external spirit bone, the Eight Spider Lances.

However, Tang San had already broken through to level thirty under his pressure and successfully obtained his third spirit ring. In what way would he obtain the Eight Spider Lances now? Or would it simply cease to exist?

He pondered for a moment, gave Tang San and the others some instructions on what to prepare for the trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, and then informed them that he needed to cultivate.

After sending the two away, he closed his door, took out the Whale Glue to refine and cultivate, and waited quietly for tomorrow's journey to the Star Dou Great Forest.

But just as he was preparing to continue melting the Whale Glue, his door was knocked on once again.

Su Ge was a bit puzzled. Could there be something else?

He stood up, walked to the door, and opened it, but the person standing before him caught him off guard.

"Zhu Zhuqing?"

"Is there something you need from me?"

Su Ge looked at the black-clad girl standing before him, a flash of admiration crossing his eyes. Although her talent was not considered top-tier, her natural gifts manifested themselves in other ways quite vividly.

Especially since he was already much taller than Zhu Zhuqing; at such close proximity, combined with his downward gaze, the sight was truly too dazzling!

"Can we go inside to talk?"

When Zhu Zhuqing said this, her tone was clearly trembling, yet she remained calm, finishing the sentence word by word.

"Forget it. There's no one around, so just say it here. It wouldn't look good for you to enter my room."

Although Su Ge did not claim to be a righteous gentleman, he was not a lecherous demon either, and Zhu Zhuqing's purpose was actually quite clear.

"Fine. I want you to help me become stronger."

Zhu Zhuqing also realized that what she was doing was indeed inappropriate, so after calming her emotions, she stated her goal.

"Reason?"

He was not surprised by Zhu Zhuqing's request, but regarding her talent, Su Ge had always held a take-it-or-leave-it attitude.

Although her determination to become stronger was firm, there were others with better talent who wanted to become stronger even more than she did. Why should he help someone else's fiancée?

"I can pay any price!"

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze was incredibly firm, and she met Su Ge's golden eyes without a hint of fear!

"Heh, a price? What price could you possibly pay?"

His golden eyes gradually brightened, his golden hair began to lengthen, and a sense of oppression from a superior spirit beast slammed heavily into Zhu Zhuqing's mind through his words and gaze!

"Is your talent that good? Is your determination to become stronger that rare? Can you offer me your loyalty?"

"I have the means, but why should I help you?"

"Because you are weak enough, or because you have nothing and come with a pile of trouble?"

Su Ge's words were like hammer blows, accompanied by the oppressive aura of his Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff spirit, striking hard against the only bit of stubbornness Zhu Zhuqing possessed.

She subconsciously activated her spirit avatar to resist the pressure Su Ge was exerting.

Yet she found that after activating her spirit, that pressure became even more pronounced!

She gritted her teeth, struggling to maintain her stance. This kind of oppression from a superior spirit was far more turbulent than simple spirit power pressure!

Even so, her gaze remained locked with Su Ge's. She bit her lip until blood spilled from the corners of her mouth, but her body did not waver in the slightest!

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing in this state, a flash of satisfaction crossed Su Ge's eyes, and he immediately deactivated his spirit avatar.

Feeling the suffocating pressure vanish, Zhu Zhuqing began to gasp for air, greedily breathing in the fresh oxygen!

"Now, you have one last chance to make an offer."

"Tell me, why would I be willing to help someone like you who comes with so much trouble?"

Su Ge's voice carried an air of natural authority as it fell upon Zhu Zhuqing's ears.

"Rather than being toyed with by fate until I die, I would rather die by my own choices!"

"I am willing to offer my loyalty, to give everything, even my life! I will... I will definitely prove my value to you!"

Speaking to the end, Zhu Zhuqing thought of the hardships she had endured along the way and Dai Mubai's behavior.

Especially after the events of last night, a deep sense of despair had taken root in her heart.

Within this Monster Academy, there was a true monster!

Driven by despair, she had placed all her hope in Su Ge!

As she spoke, she even wanted to kneel, but was caught by a firm, powerful hand.

"Good determination. It's worth my investment."

Su Ge's voice carried a hint of ease, instantly dissipating most of the gloom in her heart!

She looked up in disbelief and met Su Ge's golden eyes. In that instant, it felt as if a pillar had been added to her heart; she was infused with a new strength that allowed her to stand straight.

In reality, she hadn't sensed it wrong—this was Su Ge injecting spirit power into her body.

After all, with the close-range suppression from just a moment ago, it was already extraordinary for a Great Spirit Master like her to hold on; her body was nearly exhausted, and she had been relying entirely on willpower.

"I don't need you to kneel. You only need to let me see your value."

He then stepped aside and said to Zhu Zhuqing, "Come in."

Looking at the room inside, Zhu Zhuqing walked in without the slightest hesitation.

"Heh, brave little kitten."

Su Ge truly had no ulterior motives. Since he had decided to invest in her, he would just let her eat two pieces of Whale Glue and see the results.

However, since it was ten-thousand-year Whale Glue, even if he told her how to consume it, she could only watch helplessly, so he would have to help her melt it.

With such high-aged Whale Glue, and given it was her first time eating it, taking two pieces today might just raise her spirit power level a bit.

If she was lucky, perhaps she could even join the hunt for the third spirit ring.

And as Su Ge closed the door, he keenly sensed another gaze cast from a corner.

Su Ge felt that familiar aura but did not expose or explain anything, simply closing the door with a calm expression.

Behind a large tree not far away.

Dai Mubai had originally wanted to catch up to Zhu Zhuqing to explain what happened yesterday, but now, looking at the door Su Ge had closed, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes bloodshot.

If not for his fear of Su Ge's strength, he would likely have rushed in without hesitation to...

Thinking to the end, Dai Mubai slumped like a deflated ball. He took one last deep look at the tightly shut door and left, heading off to find his pair of twin sisters.
