Zhu Zhuqing's Kiss

Ning Rongrong raised her arms to pick up Mew. Mew did not refuse and let Ning Rongrong hold it in front of her.

"Meow?"

Mew tilted its head curiously. Why had this person picked it up? Hadn't she been quite happy just now?

Ning Rongrong said, "Little Mew, are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

"Meow?"

Mew cocked its head, but still nodded.

Ning Rongrong said, "Mew doesn't want to. She's hungry and needs to eat."

Tang San said, "..."

Zhao Wuji said, "..."

Everyone from Shrek looked at Ning Rongrong speechlessly. Did she even hear what she was saying? What did eating have to do with whether Mew was willing to treat him?

Still, none of them tried to stop Ning Rongrong. What if they really interrupted Mew's meal, made it unhappy, and got beaten up? That would be far too unfair.

Zhao Wuji could only eat Oscar's sausages, and he even stuffed a few into Dai Mubai's mouth.

Yet Mew did not like any of the food Ning Rongrong had prepared at the hotel. Ning Rongrong was nearly worried to death. If Mew did not eat ordinary food, how was she supposed to lure it back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

Since the matter had already been settled, everyone from Shrek began cultivating again, aside from the unconscious Dai Mubai.

Luo Yihe's breakthrough and the formation of his Soul Ring took three days. During those three days, Mew had long since left. Ning Rongrong was devastated, blaming herself for failing to find suitable food for Mew.

Other than Ning Rongrong, everyone cultivated diligently. Once Xiao Chenghe sensed the special energy around him turning into Soul Power, he stopped cultivating as well.

Zhu Zhuqing woke up fifteen minutes before Luo Yihe. She felt that if she fought her former self from three days ago now, that former self would not even get a second chance to attack.

She suddenly realized that Xiao Chenghe and Luo Yihe seemed never to have used any Soul Skills in front of them.

Yet their combat strength was unbelievably powerful. Could it be because of this special cultivation method and their combat techniques?

By evening, Luo Yihe finally woke up.

His mind felt exceptionally clear, as though no problem in the world could stump him anymore.

His mind had also gained a great deal of knowledge about alchemy, and the most important thing in alchemy was fire... flames?

Fuck! I don't seem to have any fire-element skills!

Fuck! It gave me the Alchemy Compendium and even a cauldron, but no flames?

Fuck! Don't tell me I'm supposed to burn firewood?

At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly walked in. Seeing that Luo Yihe had stood up and grown a little taller again, she inexplicably thought of the other version of herself and the other Luo Yihe, and her little face turned red.

Luo Yihe looked at Zhu Zhuqing, and his eyes lit up. Why did Zhu Zhuqing seem so different? Not her figure, much less her appearance, but something within. When the old Zhu Zhuqing faced Luo Yihe, he could sense the inferiority she displayed. But now, Zhu Zhuqing radiated confidence from the inside out, along with... sharpness... and killing intent?

Luo Yihe did not know what Zhu Zhuqing had experienced during his breakthrough to change so much.

Zhu Zhuqing noticed Luo Yihe's astonishment upon seeing her, and she was still quite happy about it. After all, she was now qualified to stand at Luo Yihe's side.

Zhu Zhuqing smiled. "What's wrong? Stunned silly?"

Luo Yihe asked doubtfully, "Have you been slaughtering pigs these past few days? Why does it feel like your killing intent is so heavy?"

Ding! Negative emotions from Zhu Zhuqing +777

Zhu Zhuqing's face darkened. "I shouldn't have been nice to you. First Soul Skill: Hell Stab."

Two yellow Soul Rings appeared beneath Zhu Zhuqing's feet, and the first began to shine. Luo Yihe was just about to run when Zhu Zhuqing had already appeared beside him and pinned him to the bed.

"Fuck! That's not right! Your Soul Ring hadn't even lit up yet. How did you get over here?"

"Hmph. I should sew that mouth of yours shut. A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory."

Then she viciously pinched the soft flesh at Luo Yihe's waist.

(っ╥╯﹏╰╥c) "Aow~"

Luo Yihe was in so much pain he wanted to jump up, but Zhu Zhuqing sat on top of him, leaving him unable to move.

"Big sis, Mom, Ancestor, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! Hiss—let go already."

Zhu Zhuqing smiled. "Still going to run that filthy mouth of yours?"

"No, no. Never again."

Watching Luo Yihe act like a fool, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly hugged his head and kissed his cheek.

Luo Yihe stared at Zhu Zhuqing in disbelief, then touched the cheek she had kissed. The corners of his mouth rose so high that he could not suppress them.

Just as he reached out to wrap an arm around Zhu Zhuqing's slender waist, she twisted away and dodged him.

Luo Yihe said, "Don't go, Zhuqing. I wasn't ready just now. Let's try that again."

Zhu Zhuqing gave a snort and turned to walk outside.

"Don't go, Zhuqing. You're going to lose me like this. What kind of move is lighting a fire and not putting it out? Who taught you that bad habit?"

"Little Qing!"

"Zhuqing!"

"Zhu Zhuqing!"

"Pig!"

Bang!

Zhu Zhuqing completely ignored Luo Yihe's helpless rage and walked out, shutting the door behind her.

Luo Yihe said, "..."

With only himself left in the room, Luo Yihe touched the cheek Zhu Zhuqing had kissed again and grinned foolishly. Humming a little tune, he went to take a bath.

Outside, Zhu Zhuqing leaned against the door to Luo Yihe's room. Her cheeks were burning as she covered her wildly pounding heart, though her lips still held a smile. She looked at the door behind her as though she could see Luo Yihe inside, happily humming because she had kissed him.

Ding! Negative emotions from Dai Mubai +1399

Ding ding ding...

Luo Yihe, who was bathing, froze. What was wrong with Dai Mubai? Why did he have such a huge problem with him?

Around the corner outside...

Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing shyly leaning against Luo Yihe's door, and his heart shattered into pieces.

His tears were like when someone was holding back their urine—wanting to secretly let a little out, holding it back, then letting out a little more and holding it back again.

Forget holding it back. He could not even keep it in by squeezing.

Dai Mubai cried his heart out.

The truth was, his relationship with Zhu Zhuqing had never been that good. But Zhu Zhuqing was beautiful, after all. She was clearly his fiancée, yet she kept following the person who had bullied him.

There was also the threat of death from his elder brother, Dai Weisi. If Zhu Zhuqing had been willing to help, perhaps they might still have had a slim chance of survival. Now, it was completely over.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt like he could not hold back his urine again. Ah, no, he meant he could not hold back his tears again.

The next morning...

Luo Yihe and the others were fully prepared to set out. They had come to the Star Dou Forest to help Zhu Zhuqing obtain her third Soul Ring. Ever since Zhu Zhuqing met Luo Yihe, he had fed her plenty of special food provided by the system. She had now reached level thirty.

When Luo Yihe and the others arrived outside the hotel, they ran into the Shrek group. Tang San greeted Luo Yihe, "Luo Yihe, your martial soul came back two days ago. Have you seen it?"

Luo Yihe said, "Huh? Mew came back? How did I not know? What did it come back for?"

Then he saw Ning Rongrong among the Shrek group looking listless, with dark circles under her eyes.
