"Don't you know whether I've reached the bottom or not?"
After Lu Yu finished speaking, while Zhu Zhuqing was still in a daze thinking about what she meant, she twisted her body and escaped from Zhu Zhuqing's cat claws.
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly realized what was happening, and a blush quickly crept onto her face. "You bastard, stand right there!"
Lu Yu dodged left and right with a smug look on her face, occasionally teasingly saying, "Hey, I can't catch you, I can't catch you..."
Whether out of anger or embarrassment, Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks grew increasingly red. Lu Yu seized the moment when Zhu Zhuqing Zhu Zhuqing her target, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his arms.
Okay, okay~ there are so many people watching!
Lu Yu leaned close to Zhu Zhuqing's ear and whispered, indicating that the surrounding area was full of parents who had brought their children to register for Shrek Academy.
The parents wore nostalgic smiles, but the children were different; their faces were filled with jealousy and envy.
His gaze lingered on Zhu Zhuqing, unwilling to look away.
Suddenly, a quirky and charming voice rang out.
"Hey~ What are you doing in broad daylight?! How embarrassing!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's face turned even redder, and she buried her face in Lu Yu's shoulder, avoiding the gazes of those around her.
Lu Yu chuckled and patted Zhu Zhuqing's slender waist, then looked in the direction the sound came from.
A girl of about twelve or thirteen years old was standing five steps away, covering her eyes with her hands and peeking through the gaps between her fingers at Lu Yu and Zhu Zhuqing, who were embracing each other.
The girl had fair skin, delicate features, and a pair of bright blue eyes. She wore an elegant dress and exuded a noble air with every move she made.
Lu Yu stared blankly at the petite and well-proportioned girl. Wasn't this outfit just like Ning Rongrong, one of the Shrek Seven Devils from the original novel?
Zhu Zhuqing had buried her face in Lu Yu's shoulder, noticed that Lu Yu hadn't moved for a while. She looked up at Lu Yu Lu Yu confusion and then followed his gaze.
She also saw Ning Rongrong peeking through her eyes five steps away. Zhu Zhuqing immediately let out a soft snort and stretched out her slender fingers to pinch the soft flesh on Lu Yu's waist.
Her indifferent tone carried a hint of jealousy. "Is it pretty?"
"Ugh~ It's not good-looking. I just looked at it a little longer because it seemed familiar!"
Lu Yu quickly begged for mercy, but in truth, with his physical body comparable to Soul Saint, he felt no pain at all.
"Familiar? You think she looks familiar just because she's a beautiful woman!"
Zhu Zhuqing raised an eyebrow, slightly increasing the pressure on her hand, her eyes filled with even more jealousy, and her tone was sour.
Lu Yu was instantly dumbfounded, and quickly grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's small hand, holding it tightly in her palm.
"Stop it, stop it, it's my fault, it's my fault, I was wrong, okay?"
Ning Rongrong had originally wanted to watch the show, lost interest when the two stopped. She walked up with a grin and curiously looked at Lu Yu and Zhu Zhuqing.
Are you two a couple?
"Yes!"
"No!"
In stark contrast to Lu Yu Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong blinked, her interest piqued again. She made an exaggerated expression, pointed at Lu Yu with her finger, and covered her mouth with her other hand.
"Oh, I know, did they find out you were cheating on me?"
Lu Yu's eyes widened, and she pointed at herself, as if to say, "Are you sure?"
Zhu Zhuqing thought Ning Rongrong was right; Lu Yu's behavior just now clearly indicated that he was cheating.
Eyes that are cheating!
"You're slandering me, you know that?! She's slandering me!" Lu Yu turned around and grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's hands, her face full of sincerity.
"Yes, I believe you!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently with a smile.
The two resumed their affectionate interactions.
Ning Rongrong, standing to the side, was stunned. Wait, is this right? One second they were arguing, and the next second it's "I believe you!"
Ning Rongrong is a Little Demoness in the sect. She can't believe she can swallow this dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection). She quickly interrupted.
"Hey! I'm still here! Can you please be a little more considerate?"
Lu Yu turned to look at Ning Rongrong in confusion, then glanced at the dirt road behind her. "Did I block your way on such a wide road?"
Ning Rongrong was furious, as if she had punched a cotton ball. She put her hands on her hips and spoke in the tone of an elder lecturing a younger person.
"You two are so young, instead of focusing on your cultivation, you're here hugging and cuddling! What kind of behavior is this!"
Lu Yu knew Ning Rongrong's character; she was a proud little princess, so he didn't argue. Instead, he spoke up in a cheeky way.
"Hey~ You've never experienced the sweetness of love, of course you don't understand. Wait until you have a boyfriend before you criticize me!"
"You... you... you..."
Ning Rongrong clenched her small fists in anger, glaring fiercely at Lu Yu.
"I don't need that. The men who want to date me could stretch from the Heaven Dou Empire to the Star Luo Empire."
Seeing Ning Rongrong's sullen expression, Lu Yu became interested in teasing her.
"Hey! Do you even know where the Star Luo Empire is? Who do you think you are? People are lining up all the way to the Star Luo Empire to chase after you."
Ning Rongrong stomped her foot angrily, her finger trembling as she pointed at Lu Yu, "You better stand up straight! My name is Ning Rongrong, are you scared now?!"
Lu Yu feigned surprise at the opportune moment, "Your surname is Ning? You're from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Seeing Lu Yu's surprised expression, Ning Rongrong proudly raised her chin. "Well, now you know how to be scared, right!"
"Let me tell you, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School is my father! Apologize to me right now, or I'll have Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone deal with you!"
Lu Yu, far from being afraid, pulled Zhu Zhuqing back a step with a look of disgust, leaving Ning Rongrong stunned.
Shouldn't he immediately kneel down and apologize to me?
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Lu Yu's expression and knew that Lu Yu was definitely up to no good. She looked at Ning Rongrong with pity.
"Hey, what's with those expressions, you two? Believe me or not, I'll call the guards out to teach you a lesson!" Ning Rongrong put one hand on her hip, pointing angrily at Lu Yu and Zhu Zhuqing.
Lu Yu raised her hands in surrender, but the look of disgust on her face remained unchanged. "I believe you, I believe you!"
Ning Rongrong was completely enraged by Lu Yu's indifferent attitude. She stepped forward and blocked Lu Yu's path, suppressing her anger as she spoke.
"Kid, you'd better explain the look of disgust on your face, or the consequences of my anger will be dire."
Lu Yu looked at Ning Rongrong with a helpless expression.
"I've heard of you. They say you've been unruly and willful since you were little, a real Little Demoness who caused all sorts of trouble, turning the entire sect into a mess. Even the big yellow dog guarding the gate trembles with fear at the mere mention of your name."
Ning Rongrong's mouth gaped open, looking at her as if to say, "Are you sure you're talking about me?"
Before Ning Rongrong could retort, Lu Yu lowered her voice and continued, "I also heard that the sect leader sent that Little Demoness out of the sect. The whole sect celebrated the day she left; everyone was overjoyed."
"I didn't believe it at first, thinking they were just spreading rumors, but I never expected this!"
Ning Rongrong couldn't hold back any longer. She glared fiercely at Lu Yu, pointed at Lu Yu nose, and started yelling, "You brat, you better explain to me what you didn't think of!"
Lu Yu shook his head regretfully, looking Ning Rongrong up and down.
"After seeing them in person, I never imagined that what they said was true!"
