Background / History

Zhu Zhuqing arrived in Suotuo City to apply to Shrek Academy, where Xiao Wu immediately approached her despite her cold reserve. She displayed visible hatred when Dai Mubai's reputation for pursuing women was discussed, foreshadowing their complicated connection. During the entrance assessment, she challenged Hu Jiu directly rather than accept being underestimated. 104 105 107

Determined to escape the limits imposed on her life, Zhu Zhuqing sought Hu Jiu's cultivation carrots and offered everything she possessed in exchange for help becoming stronger. Hu Jiu accepted the arrangement on the condition that she greet him with a meow. Her determination later led her to seek Zhao Wuji as a master; Zhao Wuji accepted her as his direct disciple, making her Hu Jiu's junior sister. 112 130

Her family history emerged during the Continental Advanced Academy Elite Tournament. Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai were bound by a forced engagement between their families, while their elder siblings, Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Weisi, held the advantage in their respective succession struggles. Zhu Zhuqing considered Dai Mubai an older brother rather than a romantic partner, and accused Zhu Zhuyun of sending assassins after her. 350 351

She and Dai Mubai faced Star Luo Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy together, defeating their family rivals and the opposing team through their overwhelming level advantage and coordination. Zhu Zhuqing eliminated opponents too quickly for them to follow her movements, establishing her as one of Shrek's most difficult fighters to track. 352 353

After becoming close to Hu Jiu, Zhu Zhuqing received extensive cultivation support from him, including body tempering through the Ice and Fire Domain and Martial Soul evolution. Her Netherworld Spirit Cat ultimately evolved into the Nine-Life Spirit Cat, compensating for what Hu Jiu considered her weaker innate cultivation talent. 252 259 406

On Sea God Island, Zhu Zhuqing pushed herself beyond safe limits because she intended to become strong enough to follow Hu Jiu to the God Realm. She survived the absorption of a Hundred Thousand Year God-Bestowed Soul Ring, later obtained an eighth Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring from the Shadow Leopard, and continued advancing alongside Shrek's strongest members. 437 439 481

Appearance

Zhu Zhuqing was introduced as a petite young woman with a youthful face, a cold allure, and a stubborn bearing. She initially wore a black leather top and maintained a distant, guarded expression. 104

• During Martial Soul Possession, she develops black cat ears, a nearly one-meter-long cat tail, blue night-cat eyes, and sharp claws. 105
• Her combat form emphasizes speed and silence; she often appears only as a black afterimage to opponents. 352
• After her Martial Soul evolved into the Nine-Life Spirit Cat, her natural charm and allure became noticeably stronger. 406
• At Level 67, the Nine-Life Spirit Cat granted her six tails and six additional lives. 406

Personality

Zhu Zhuqing is cold, aloof, and slow to trust, but her apparent detachment conceals exceptional stubbornness and resolve. She reacts fiercely to being underestimated and attacks with little hesitation when fighting. 105 107

Her defining trait is her willingness to endure extreme hardship for strength. She consistently trains harder than the rest of Shrek, pushes herself until collapse, and risks severe injury to obtain stronger Soul Rings. Her ambition is not merely to surpass her family rivals, but to become strong enough to remain at Hu Jiu's side in the God Realm. 252 437 439

Despite her reserved manner, Zhu Zhuqing is thoughtful and reciprocal toward those who help her. She traveled home specifically to obtain the Nether Soul Suppressing Bell technique for Hu Jiu, and she accepts guidance from trusted companions without abandoning her own determination. 131 481
