Background / History

Zhu Zhuqing is a member of the Zhu Clan, the Star Luo Empire's established imperial consort clan. She was formerly engaged to Star Luo prince Dai Mubai, but endured hardship in Star Luo City while he fled and lived freely in Suotuo City. Her resentment culminated when she confronted him at a restaurant. 45 48

She attacked Dai Mubai immediately upon recognizing him, wounding him with Hell Stab. Though she refused to surrender even when overpowered, Lin Chen intercepted Dai's White Tiger Radiant Wave and saved her from severe injury. 45 46

After Lin Chen decisively defeated Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing accepted his offer to remain at his side. She chose his protection and strength over returning to her former engagement. 47

Lin Chen subsequently supplied her with the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, a rare herb that transformed her cultivation prospects, then personally arranged high-quality Spirit Beast hunts for her third and fourth Spirit Rings. 52 53 54 59

Appearance

During Martial Soul Possession, Zhu Zhuqing manifests traits of the Hell Spirit Cat.

• Cat ears grow atop her head.
• A slender cat tail appears behind her.
• Sharp claws extend from her fingers.
• Her Spirit Rings appeared as two yellow rings during her first confrontation with Dai Mubai; she later possessed four purple rings. 45 64

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is quiet, restrained, and intensely diligent. She cultivated through the night after joining Lin Chen because she believed that failing to work hard would leave her behind by more talented peers. 51

She is proud and unyielding when threatened. Despite recognizing that Dai Mubai was stronger, she refused to bow her head or surrender, even at the risk of death. 46

After accepting Lin Chen's protection and resources, she became highly deferential toward him, but her obedience is paired with ambition: she repeatedly seeks greater strength and accepts dangerous Spirit Rings and Spirit Bones without hesitation. 47 55 58

Shrek Academy

Trivia

• Zhu Zhuqing considers herself less naturally talented than Lin Chen and Xiao Wu, motivating her relentless cultivation. 51 52
• Lin Chen requires her to reach the Soul King realm within two years; from level 42, this means gaining eight more Soul Power levels. 67
• Her rapid rise from Soul Grandmaster to Soul Ancestor over roughly half a month becomes a major source of suspicion and greed among Shrek Academy's staff. 64
