Background / History

Life in the Star Luo Empire

Zhu Zhuqing was born into the noble Hell Spirit Cat family and engaged to Dai Mubai, a prince of the Star Luo Empire. When he abandoned her and fled, she spent three years facing oppression and threats to her life in Star Luo City. Her eldest sister, Zhu Zhuyun, was a principal danger; her third elder sister, Zhu Zhuxin, repeatedly helped her survive. Her journey to Shrek Academy was also dangerous, leaving her accustomed to treating her own injuries 4 7 15 39 59.

Shrek Academy and Separation from Dai Mubai

Su Ling forcibly bound Zhu Zhuqing through his system, setting her affection to sixty. At their first meeting, she felt an unexplained familiarity and warmth toward him, smiling and volunteering her martial soul’s name despite her usual reserve 2 3 38.

After seeing Dai Mubai drunk with two women in Suotuo City, she confided her engagement to Su Ling and declared the relationship finished. She subsequently rejected Dai Mubai’s public attempts to claim her as his fiancée. Her disappointment extended beyond his interest in other women: she had been raised to understand royal marriage customs, but could not forgive his abandonment and cowardice 6 7 39.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, Su Ling rescued her when an attack on the Titan Giant Ape left her beneath its enormous body. She insisted on cleaning the wound he suffered while saving her. Before leaving on his own training journey, he gave her Beginner Soul Power Pills, which accelerated her progress to Soul Elder 14 15 23 36.

Choosing Su Ling

When Su Ling returned, Zhu Zhuqing embraced him openly. She later hesitated over his confession because their relationship could provoke pursuit by both her family and the Star Luo Imperial Family. His willingness to shoulder that danger raised her affection to ninety, and she gave him a brief kiss 36 37 38.

Dai Mubai then lured her to a private meeting by promising to settle their separation, drugged her, and attempted to assault her. Su Ling intervened and administered an antidote. Once conscious, Zhu Zhuqing confirmed what had happened and declared that she preferred facing pursuit with someone she loved to remaining with Dai Mubai. At her request, Su Ling spared Dai Mubai’s life to avoid endangering the others; Dai Mubai was expelled from Shrek and castrated 39.

Tournament Training and Family Reunion

Su Ling taught Zhu Zhuqing the Jade Spirit Art and Carefree Journey, supplied stronger pills, and accompanied her to obtain her fourth soul ring. She also welcomed Ning Rongrong’s feelings for him rather than treating her as a rival 42 45 53.

Zhu Zhuxin’s arrival at Shrek reunited the sisters and made Zhu Zhuqing noticeably livelier. Both joined the tournament team. After Ice and Fire Body Tempering and her fifth soul ring, Zhu Zhuqing competed in the final against Star Luo Royal Academy, where Zhu Zhuyun threatened to punish the sisters for defying their family and empire. Shrek won the tournament 73 78 79 92 93.

Sea God Island and Later Activity

At the Sea Spear Sacred Pillar, Zhu Zhuqing received the black-level six trials. Her immortal-herb benefits and body tempering were cited as reasons for the strength of her assessment. She later absorbed an exceptionally old seventh soul ring and a ten-thousand-year soul bone 161 171 172.

By this point she was over twenty. Her relationship with Su Ling became intimate, bringing her affection to one hundred. He then gave her the Netherworld Spirit, which transformed her martial soul, increased her cultivation speed, and raised her Goddess Overall Rating to ninety-nine 172 173.

Su Ling later sent her and Zhu Zhuxin to the Mist Forest to search for additional formation inheritances, asking them to look after one another 209.

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing has a beautiful face often described as icy, long silky hair, and a composed outward bearing. Body tempering and martial soul evolution both change her physique 3 53 78 173.

• Long hair: Contrasts with Zhu Zhuxin’s short, ear-length hairstyle 60.
• Post-tempering height: Grows to approximately her sister’s height, making her previous clothes too small 78 79.
• Post-evolution build: Becomes more slender and statuesque after absorbing the Netherworld Spirit 173.
• Evolved martial soul: Normally displays one tail; she can release additional tails up to nine 173.

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is reserved, seldom speaks without prompting, and initially appears cold to outsiders. The narrative attributes this behavior to the pressure she endured alone in the Star Luo Empire, describing her as someone with a cold exterior and a warm heart 3 12 172.

Her warmth becomes visible through practical care and trust: she carefully treats Su Ling’s injury, recounts her past to him, and becomes more expressive after reuniting with Zhu Zhuxin. She is also decisive about her own relationships, refusing Dai Mubai’s repeated claims and choosing Su Ling despite the danger of imperial retaliation 7 15 37 39 73.

Abilities & Skills

Hell Spirit Cat

Her original martial soul supports an Agility Attack fighting style centered on speed and close-range attacks 14 39 53.

• Hell Stab and Netherworld Hundred Claws: Require her to approach the target; she has no ranged attacks during the Titan Giant Ape encounter 14.
• Speed: At level 32, she believes Dai Mubai cannot catch her despite his greater soul power. His drug prevents her from escaping 39.
• Early offensive limit: Her attack against the Titan Giant Ape fails to scratch it 14.

Netherworld Nine-Tailed Cat

Absorbing the Netherworld Spirit evolves her original martial soul and substantially improves her cultivation 173.

• Tail enhancement: Each additional tail beyond the first raises all physical attributes by 5%; releasing all nine grants a total 40% increase 173.
• Innate property: The enhancement belongs to the martial soul itself rather than being a soul skill 173.
• Cultivation speed: Becomes at least 50% faster than before the evolution 173.

Cultivation and Movement Techniques

• Jade Spirit Art: Makes soul-power circulation smoother and, upon initial use, increases her cultivation speed by an estimated 20% 42.
• Carefree Journey: A movement technique Su Ling considers particularly suitable for her Agility Attack specialty. She learns its principles during their return from Sunset Forest, but still needs practice to reach beginner proficiency 53.

Ice and Fire Body Tempering

The paired immortal herbs allow her to cultivate safely within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well 78.

• Physical improvement: Strengthening her body is the procedure’s principal benefit; the immediate soul-power increase is secondary 78.
• Poison resistance: Becomes resistant to ordinary poisons 78.
• Lasting medicinal benefits: Helps her later absorb a seventh soul ring over 80,000 years old 171.

System Bond with Su Ling

The bond grants benefits to Su Ling, rather than constituting an independent set of combat skills Zhu Zhuqing uses herself. At affection one hundred, its documented effects are 172:

Wound Care

• Practical experience: Cleans Su Ling’s injury carefully and skillfully, drawing on years of treating her own wounds in Star Luo and during her journey to Shrek 15.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Soul Power Pills — Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced pills supplied by Su Ling at successive cultivation stages. The lower-grade pills become less effective as her level rises 23 37 48 53.
• Narcissus jade muscle bone — Consumed immortal herb later cited as a contributor to her improved Sea God assessment 161.
• Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot — Consumed together for Ice and Fire Body Tempering 78.
• Ten-thousand-year soul bone — Absorbed on Sea God Island; its anatomical type and abilities are unspecified 172.
• Netherworld Spirit — A dark orb perfectly suited to her, absorbed to evolve her martial soul 172 173.
• Healing Cards — Su Ling gives the sisters two cards for their Mist Forest expedition, each providing healing equivalent to a ten-thousand-year soul skill 209.

Relationships

• Su Ling — Romantic partner, cultivation mentor, and system-binding host. His forced binding initially shapes her feelings; he later protects her, supports her separation from Dai Mubai, and helps transform her martial soul 2 38 39 173.
• Dai Mubai — Former fiancé. His abandonment, possessiveness, and attempted assault end any remaining attachment she has to him 4 6 7 39.
• Zhu Zhuxin — Third elder sister and trusted protector. Repeatedly saves her from danger in Star Luo, reunites with her at Shrek, and becomes her later expedition partner 59 73 209.
• Zhu Zhuyun — Eldest sister and antagonist. Oppresses her in Star Luo and threatens both younger sisters during the tournament final 4 92.
• Ning Rongrong — Friend, dormitory companion, and fellow tournament teammate. Zhu Zhuqing welcomes her feelings for Su Ling 45 92.
• Xiao Wu — Fellow Shrek student and Sea God Island companion; stays nearby while Zhu Zhuqing finishes absorbing her seventh soul ring 3 171.
• Liu Erlong, Flender, and Zhao Wuji — Academy leaders who assist the sisters’ fifth soul-ring hunt; Zhu Zhuqing thanks them after reaching Soul King 79.
