Caught cultivating with Zhu Zhuqing

Upon hearing this, Tang San shook his head and said with some helplessness.

"Besides the teacher, only Ye Fan knows about it, but he doesn't seem to be interested in my External Soul Bone... He said it's ugly."

I suppose he's not really interested in this."

Yu Xiaogang: "???"

ugly?

Yu Xiaogang was also stunned by this refreshingly unconventional reason.

Who would complain about an ugly Soul Bone? You'd be chosen as the perfect cabbage!

"Hmph, ignore him. He doesn't understand the value of a priceless treasure; he's just a frog in a well."

That's good, it saves us from having any designs on the Little San's Soul Bone.

At this moment, inside the girls' dormitory.

Ye Fan sneezed.

"Ah! Who's talking about me?"

Ye Fan rubbed his nose, took out the Man Faced Demon Spider External Soul Bone from his Soul Tool, and chuckled.

"This one looks much better. Look at this corner, look at the curve... A pig's head with External Soul Bone, tsk, even a dog wouldn't want it."

Just as he was about to absorb the External Soul Bone, there was a knock on the door.

Thump, thump, thump.

The voice was clean, crisp, and rhythmic; it was clearly not Xiao Wu's, as she never knocked on doors.

And it shouldn't be Ning Rongrong either; she would definitely ask.

All that's left is...

Ye Fan smiled slightly, "Zhu Zhuqing, come in."

The door opened, and the beautiful figure standing outside was indeed Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing looked puzzled; how did Ye Fan know it was her?

But Zhu Zhuqing didn't talk about such trivial matters; she spoke directly.

"Ye Fan, I want to cultivate with you."

"Want to cultivate with me?"

Ye Fan was somewhat surprised.

This aloof, unsociable cat usually cultivates its aloofness on its own, so what's wrong with it today?

"Yes, Rongrong and Xiao Wu said that training with you will be faster than normal training, so I want to join you."

As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing's tone unusually carried a hint of reproach. She crossed her arms, creating a wave of light that made Ye Fan dizzy.

He clearly believed that he and I had a very good relationship.

It was even that kind of relationship.

But he didn't even take me with him to cultivate...

Does that mean my social status is actually quite low?

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but want to take the initiative to ask.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's face showed a knowing expression.

This kitten is getting impatient.

The senior was right after all.

Owning a cat is something you can't do voluntarily.

She'll come to you on her own when she needs you, and might even take the initiative to be affectionate.

Ye Fan pondered for a moment, "Zhu Zhuqing, if you want to cultivate with me, I naturally have no objection."

Rather, I've had this idea for a long time, but I just didn't know how to bring it up.

"Why?"

"Because you always lock yourself in your room to cultivate by yourself, or you can't find anyone else, how can we get you to cultivate together?"

We always thought you had some secret, unspeakable trick up your sleeve.

Ye Fan shrugged, as if to say, "The responsibility is yours," but a faint smile played on his lips.

Zhu Zhuqing: "..."

So, is it her fault?

Unique secret technique?

If she had some unique skill, would she still be at the bottom in Soul Power among these people?

She realized that Ye Fan was just teasing her.

He knew perfectly well what his situation was.

But Zhu Zhuqing did not complain.

"Sorry, I'm just used to it..."

Ye Fan interrupted, "Alright, no need to apologize. Since you came to find me, you must have been mentally prepared."

I hereby declare that my cultivation will be very arduous.

If you can't keep going, say so early, so you don't get hurt.

Ye Fan straightened his expression and said no more to this earnest and hardworking girl.

He wouldn't refuse Zhu Zhuqing's offer to cultivate together; wasn't this a perfect opportunity to boost his favorability and... polish his image for Dai Mubai?

"I will persevere in order to become stronger."

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were full of seriousness.

For her, nothing was more terrifying than being unable to escape her fate and dying in the Star Luo Empire.

What is a little arduous training compared to that?

Seeing how serious Zhu Zhuqing was, Ye Fan didn't waste any more words.

While Xiao Wu and Rongrong went shopping, Zhu Zhuqing could cultivate for a longer period of time.

With that in mind, Ye Fan took Zhu Zhuqing directly to the rooftop.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't say much, her eyes full of expectation.

That place held different meanings for the two of them.

This is where it truly begins.

The two sat down on the rooftop, one on each side, just like before.

After adjusting his state and explaining the basic principles of his cultivation, Ye Fan officially began to use his Word Spirit.

An invisible pressure enveloped Zhu Zhuqing from all directions, causing her long hair to fly wildly.

Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth and exerted all her strength to circulate her Soul Power to resist the pressure.

She could clearly feel her Soul Power burning rapidly.

One hour later.

Zhu Zhuqing's body began to sway, her breathing became rapid, and she could barely keep her eyes open.

She underestimated Ye Fan's cultivation methods...

At this moment, she couldn't even speak; she could only hold on.

His Soul Power was almost depleted.

At this moment, she is relying entirely on her willpower to squeeze out the best of her potential.

Ye Fan could tell that Zhu Zhuqing was not in good condition, so he quickly stopped applying pressure.

The moment the pressure was released, Zhu Zhuqing was like a spring that had been released instantly; she swayed twice, her body went limp, and she collapsed.

Ye Fan reacted quickly and caught Zhu Zhuqing in his arms.

Zhu Zhuqing lay in Ye Fan's arms, greedily breathing in the air.

"Have I... gotten stronger?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan almost burst out laughing.

"If you haven't become stronger despite all this hard work, then there's no justice in the world. I'll help you regulate your Soul Power later. Once your Soul Power is restored, you'll be able to experience it."

His pressure comes from squeezing out his Soul Power. Unlike ordinary meditation and cultivation, when his Soul Power is depleted, he cannot feel any progress.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, her hair damp with sweat and clinging to her face, but a slight smile played on her lips.

She seemed to see a future where she could escape her fate.

Just then, a loud shout rang out from not far away, reaching their ears directly.

"What are you doing?!"

A few hours ago.

When he returned, including the few days he spent recuperating outside the Star Dou Great Forest, Dai Mubai's injuries had mostly healed.

He felt it was necessary for him to have a serious talk with Zhu Zhuqing.

Even for Zhu Zhuqing's own sake, she shouldn't have treated her fiancé that way!

With this in mind, Dai Mubai did not return to Shrek immediately.

Instead, she first bought a bouquet of flowers from the old lady's flower garden next door, tidied herself up, and slowly walked towards the girls' dormitory.

As it turned out, he happened to see Zhu Zhuqing lying in Ye Fan's arms, covered in sweat.
