Zhu Zhuqing: What Do You Mean My Fiancé Turned into a Girl?

On the other side, Shrek Academy.

Zhu Zhuqing entered the academy gate and walked along the stone path towards the backyard.

There were few people in the academy, and the playground was empty. A few lower-grade students were practicing boxing in a corner. When they saw Zhu Zhuqing walking over, they looked up curiously, then lowered their heads and continued practicing.

Zhu Zhuqing walked to Dai Mubai's dormitory door and knocked.

"Who is it?" a voice came from inside, a little softer than usual, but the firmness in its tone was still there.

Zhu Zhuqing.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Then came a series of hurried footsteps and the sound of something being knocked over.

"Wait a minute!" Dai Mubai's voice came from inside, tinged with obvious panic, "I'm coming right away!"

Zhu Zhuqing stood outside the door, her brows furrowing slightly.

After waiting for about half a cup of tea's time, the door was opened a crack from the inside.

Dai Mubai's face peeked out from the crack in the door, only half of it showing, the other half hidden behind the door panel.

"Zhuqing," Dai Mubai forced a smile through the crack in the door, "What brings you here?"

"Jiang Lan said you were looking for me," Zhu Zhuqing said.

Dai Mubai's smile froze on his face.

"Jiang Lan said that?"

"Yes, he said you ran into him on the street today and that he wants to see me."

Dai Mubai's expression changed seven or eight times in just two breaths, from astonishment to anger to an extremely complex sense of resignation, and finally turned into a long, helpless sigh.

"That little brat..." Dai Mubai squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, "He did it on purpose."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything, she just stood at the door, waiting for him to open it.

Dai Mubai gripped the door panel with his fingers, hesitated for a while, and then slowly opened the door.

Zhu Zhuqing froze when her gaze fell on Dai Mubai.

The light blue long dress, cinched at the waist, accentuated her well-proportioned figure.

The area around her chest is slightly bulging, unlike its previous flatness.

Her hair was tied up with a simple hairpin, revealing her fair and slender neck.

Her face was still the same, but the angles were much softer, her jawline wasn't as sharp as before, and her skin was a shade lighter.

Zhu Zhuqing stared at him for a full three breaths.

Her lips moved, then closed again.

Wait, my fiancé has turned into a girl?

Dai Mubai felt uncomfortable under her gaze, so he pulled the door back halfway, blocking half of his body.

"Stop looking." Dai Mubai's voice was muffled.

"You..." Zhu Zhuqing finally found her voice, her tone filled with undisguised astonishment, "How did you become like this?"

"It's a long story." Dai Mubai turned his face away.

Zhu Zhuqing stood at the door, staring at him for a long while. The astonishment on her face slowly faded, replaced by a complex emotion that was hard to describe.

"What about Ma Hongjun and Oscar?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

"Ma Hongjun is in his room, Oscar is there too," Dai Mubai said. "You want to see them?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

Dai Mubai opened the door and stepped aside to let her in.

Zhu Zhuqing walked into the dormitory and glanced around. The room was fairly clean, except for a few pieces of women's clothing piled up in the corner, neatly folded.

"Were those clothes also newly bought?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.

Dai Mubai's expression changed again, but he finally nodded.

Zhu Zhuqing stood in the room for a while, then suddenly spoke up, "Jiang Lan asked me to pass on a message."

What did you say?

He said, "He asked if you'd like to go to Honey Snow Ice City for milk tea."

Dai Mubai remained silent for two breaths.

"I'm not going," Dai Mubai said. "I can't go in my current condition."

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at him, but neither offered any advice nor asked any further questions.

"Then I'm leaving." Zhu Zhuqing turned and walked towards the door.

As she reached the door, she stopped and said something without turning her head.

Dai Mubai.

"Um."

You look much better now than before.

Dai Mubai was taken aback.

Zhu Zhuqing pushed open the door and walked out, closing the door behind her.

Dai Mubai stood in the room, looked down at the dress she was wearing, then looked up at the doorway, her expression extremely complicated.

Back at Honey Snow Ice City, Zhu Zhuqing briefly recounted what she had seen at the Shrek Academy.

Ning Rongrong covered her mouth, laughing so hard her shoulders shook.

Jiang Lan, holding Doro, touched her chin with her little hands. "Sister Zhuqing, do you think Dai Mubai, in his current state, can participate in the Genius Soul Master Tournament?"

Zhu Zhuqing thought for a moment.

"He's capable," Zhu Zhuqing said. "I just glanced at him, and his Soul Power is stronger than before."

"That'll be interesting when we meet on the field." Jiang Lan grinned. "Ma Xiaohong, Ao Xiaoya, Dai Xiaomu, the three girls fighting on the field, the opposing team will laugh themselves to death."

"Don't just laugh at others," Ning Rongrong poked his forehead. "You're level 71 now. If you run into them on the field, go easy on them. Don't actually hurt them."

"That depends on their behavior," Jiang Lan said matter-of-factly. "If they dare to mess with me, I won't be polite."

Ning Rongrong poked Jiang Lan's forehead again, this time with more force than before.

"You have the nerve to talk about others? Look at yourself now, a level 71 Soul Saint, bullying a bunch of level 40s. Does that sound good to others?"

"Then I won't do it myself, let Doro do it." Jiang Lan handed the white dumpling forward.

Doro was eating Ju Zi when he was suddenly lifted into the air. He blinked his big purple eyes in confusion and made a mumbled call.

The translation is roughly: What's it to me?

Ning Rongrong scooped Doro back from Jiang Lan's hands, placed it on her lap, and ruffled its head twice. "Doro, don't mind him, he just bullies you."

"When did I bully it?" Jiang Lan retorted.

"You expect it to hand you things every day, don't you have hands of your own?"

"It's willing."

"It's just too lazy to argue with you."

Doro rolled over on Ning Rongrong's lap, belly up, and let out a contented groan, as if anticipating what was to come.

Zhu Zhuqing sat down beside her, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and suddenly asked, "As for the Shrek Academy, Dean Flender will probably be leading the team to participate in the Genius Soul Master Tournament. What do you plan to do if you run into them on the field?"

"What do you mean, what do we do?" Jiang Lan climbed onto a chair and dragged the plate of Ju Zi on the table in front of her. "They can fight their way, I'll fight mine. If we're in the same group, then we'll each rely on our own abilities."

"You're at level 71 now, while they're in their forties," Zhu Zhuqing said.

"That's why I'm letting them win." Jiang Lan peeled an Ju Zi, broke off a segment, and popped it into her mouth. "Once I'm on the field, I won't activate my Martial Soul Avatar, summon the Guga Legion, use Angel Guga, fly, or shoot lasers. I'll just use my fists. Is that alright?"

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes. "You could easily give them a run for their money just by using your fists."

"Then I'll give them three moves."

Even if you give them thirty moves, they still can't beat you.
