Background

Zhu Zhuqing was born into the Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire and became bound to Dai Mubai through an arranged engagement. When Dai Mubai fled ahead and abandoned her, she was left to face a joint pursuit connected to the Zhu and Dai families. Her elder sister, Zhu Zhuyun, cornered her in the Star Luo wilderness and offered to spare her only if she crippled her own martial soul. Zhu Zhuqing refused, choosing to fight rather than submit. 1 3

Fang Fan saved her moments before she was overwhelmed, killing the pursuing Soul Ancestors, Soul Elders, and Soul Grandmasters with his Seven-Colored Light Sword. Zhu Zhuqing immediately sensed an unusually powerful resonance between his martial soul and her Hell Spirit Cat. She crossed into Heaven Dou territory with him and began caring for him during his drunken cultivation. 1 2

At the Rose Hotel, Zhu Zhuqing confronted Dai Mubai and publicly ended their engagement. She rejected his attempt to portray Fang Fan as her abuser, stating that she would never abandon the man who had saved her. 3 4

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing is a striking young woman with a cold, composed bearing that contrasts with her fierce combat style. She is commonly seen in fitted black combat clothing and is noted for her deep-blue eyes and black hair. 1 17 57

• Usually wears a black combat outfit suited to high-speed fighting. 17
• Her calm, icy expression often conceals embarrassment or strong possessiveness around Fang Fan. 24 25
• Her Nether Civet later develops faint seven-colored patterns after repeated resonance with Fang Fan’s martial soul. 57

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is proud, restrained, and intensely self-reliant. Faced with death in the Star Luo wilderness, she refused to cripple her martial soul or accept the fate imposed by her family. Her conviction is summed up in her belief that her fate belongs to herself rather than Heaven. 1

Though initially guarded, she shows unwavering loyalty toward those who protect and respect her. She consistently defends Fang Fan against Dai Mubai, Shrek’s teachers and students, Heaven Dou nobles, and the Imperial Fighting Team. 3 8 26 34

Her growing safety beside Fang Fan changes how she responds to threats. Rather than silently enduring harassment or political coercion, she retaliates against Ma Hongjun and Xue Beng, later crediting Fang Fan’s protection for giving her the confidence to resist. 18 26

Abilities & Skills

Zhu Zhuqing’s beast martial soul is an agility attack-type martial soul associated with darkness, speed, and shadow-based power. It responds exceptionally well to Fang Fan’s Seven-Colored Light Sword. 8 24

• Her shadow attribute gives her strong compatibility with Wind Empress’s Strange Gates. 61
• She can evade opponents above her level for extended periods, but prolonged combat exhausts her Soul Power. 26

• No independent combat application by Zhu Zhuqing is documented in the provided chapters.

Seven-Colored Nether Slash

A Martial Soul Fusion Skill formed with Fang Fan’s Seven-Colored Light Sword and Zhu Zhuqing’s Hell Spirit Cat. Her martial soul enters Fang Fan’s sword willingly rather than being forcibly drawn out. 43

• Ning Rongrong — Friend, fellow cultivator, and rival for Fang Fan’s attention. They compete over feeding Fang Fan wine, but also cooperate and defend one another. 25 61 92
• Dugu Yan — Acquaintance from the Imperial Fighting Team. Zhu Zhuqing respects Dugu Yan’s willingness to acknowledge superior strength rather than blindly support Yu Tianheng. 53
• Ma Hongjun — Antagonist who harassed and attempted to assault Zhu Zhuqing; she retaliated with Netherworld Hundred Claws. 17 18
• Xue Beng — Heaven Dou prince who attempted to seize Zhu Zhuqing through his status and Soul Elder guards; she fought him and his subordinates until Fang Fan intervened. 25 26
