Background / History
Tang Hao meets Ah Zhu in Sword City when the city lord’s son harasses her. He kills the man and invites her to leave with him and Tang Xiao. Ah Zhu accepts, presenting herself as timid and grateful, though she is drawn to Tang Hao’s vigorous life force 57.
Tang Hao grows attached to her but leaves for three years of training in Slaughter City. He entrusts Ah Zhu to Tang Xiao and promises to marry her when he returns. At the Clear Sky Sect outpost, she begins consuming its residents, starting with Strength Clan disciple Tai Batian 58 59.
Over the following year, disciples vanish until only Ah Zhu and Tang Xiao remain. She persuades Tang Xiao to stay close to her, then kills and consumes him. After reaching level 69, she considers waiting for Tang Hao as her next prey and discovers that she is pregnant 59.
