Chapter 13

Wang Changsheng forcibly pulled Zhu Zhuqing down to sit beside him.

Their posture was intimate, like a couple's.

She could no longer concern herself with her predicament. Fury surged in her heart, and she immediately burst into curses.

"You still have the nerve to ask why?"

"It's because of you, you beast! Dai Mubai thought I was involved with you, so he cut ties with me."

Wang Changsheng was rather surprised.

But on second thought, it all made perfect sense.

What kind of person was Dai Mubai?

He was always flirting around.

People like him often found it exciting to be intimate with others, yet couldn't bear the humiliation of their own partners getting close to someone else.

"Mm, given Dai Mubai's temperament, he really would do something like that. It only shows he's less than human. How could he blame you? I was clearly the one who was forced."

Zhu Zhuqing froze for a moment.

You've got some nerve, Wang Changsheng.

You actually have the face to say that.

What was done was done. It was too late to talk about anything now.

She had traveled thousands of miles to Shrek Academy, only for Wang Changsheng to ruin her relationship. On top of that, she felt utterly lost about the path ahead.

"Shameless beast, let go of me! I'm leaving this place."

Feeling Zhu Zhuqing struggle fiercely,

Wang Changsheng held her waist even tighter.

"Zhu Zhuqing, where are you going?"

In truth,

Zhu Zhuqing didn't know either.

Dai Mubai was less than human, so naturally she had no reason to stay at Shrek.

As for the hatred Wang Changsheng had brought upon himself, she had no way to take revenge.

She could only go wherever her feet took her.

Just then,

Wang Changsheng slowly spoke.

"Zhu Zhuqing, stay. Dai Mubai doesn't want you, but I do."

Zhu Zhuqing's pupils widened, and fury shot from her beautiful eyes.

Especially at the way Wang Changsheng blurted it out.

He wanted her,

but she wasn't willing.

And he shouldn't forget:

what means had Wang Changsheng used to have her?

How could she fail to tell right from wrong and willingly stay by the side of someone like him?

Wang Changsheng knew Zhu Zhuqing was furious.

A few lies he commonly used came readily to his lips.

"Zhu Zhuqing, I admit what I did was wrong. It was only because you were so beautiful that I couldn't hold myself back."

"But I can promise you one thing: no matter how far your cultivation progresses in the future, I'll take you to the Divine Realm and make you a god. Consider it my way of making it up to you."

As Wang Changsheng said this, he felt uneasy.

His check-in task might fail one day.

When that happened, even he would lose his Godhood. How could he possibly make Zhu Zhuqing a god?

Of course,

the immediate priority was to fool her.

Sure enough,

when she heard the word "Godhood," Zhu Zhuqing, whose emotions had been in turmoil, fell silent.

She had come to Shrek to grow stronger.

And what Soul Master didn't want to grow stronger?

Their knowledge was usually limited, and all of them dreamed of reaching the level of a Titled Douluo, let alone resisting the temptation of Godhood.

But

no matter how Zhu Zhuqing thought about it, she felt that this Godhood had come from an unknown source, and her heart remained unsettled.

Wait.

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly thought of Xiao Wu.

She had almost been fooled.

"Don't think you can fool me! You say you like me? Then how do you explain Xiao Wu?"

Wang Changsheng wasn't flustered. Instead, he spoke with complete confidence.

"What is there to explain?"

"She's her, and you're you."

Zhu Zhuqing was furious.

"So you fall in love with every woman you see? Wang Changsheng, I never imagined you could be so shameless."

Wang Changsheng chuckled.

His hands never loosened their hold on Zhu Zhuqing's waist.

"I don't care what other people think."

"At least I'm not as useless as Dai Mubai. He couldn't even protect his own woman, and then he turned around and said you were in the wrong. Zhu Zhuqing, if you insist on leaving, you'll never find another man as powerful as me who's willing to take responsibility for you to the very end."

"Besides, I won't let you leave. You have to stay by my side."

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were full of contempt.

She was silent for a long time.

She also pondered it for a long time.

In her current situation, she couldn't leave.

Although Wang Changsheng was overbearing and rude, his willingness to take responsibility for her was still worthy of praise.

"All right. I don't have a choice anyway."

Wang Changsheng's face immediately lit up with a smile.

"That's more like it. From now on, keep staying at Shrek Academy. When you're bored, you can come talk to me, or you can go see Xiao Wu. After all, you're good sisters."

Good sisters?

Zhu Zhuqing frowned.

Thinking of her and Xiao Wu's current positions made her blush.

"Shameless beast, you're such a philanderer."

In response,

Wang Changsheng offered a reasonable explanation.

"Zhu Zhuqing, there's something you don't know. I'm only eighteen this year. I attained Godhood before I turned eighteen, so you can imagine how much effort I put in. All I did was cultivate, and cultivate some more. When it comes to love between men and women, I'm a blank sheet of paper."

Zhu Zhuqing's face grew even redder.

Why are men all like this?

Do they all have lustful genes in their bones?

Thinking that Wang Changsheng wouldn't let her down made Zhu Zhuqing feel a little better.

Otherwise,

she really didn't know what she would do from now on.

With a god for a man at her side, she wouldn't lack cultivation resources in the future. Even if her Soul Power stopped advancing one day and she couldn't improve, Wang Changsheng would help her attain Godhood.

"Can you let go of me now?"

Looking at their intimate posture,

Wang Changsheng showed no intention of letting go.

"Zhu Zhuqing, since you're willing to be my woman, I should hold you even tighter."

An hour later,

Wang Changsheng finally rose from the reclining chair.

He looked at Zhu Zhuqing beside him, her face full of shame and anger.

"Zhu Zhuqing, I'm definitely not someone who likes to paint you empty promises. On the contrary, I'm a practical man. Since you've been wronged, I'll go get justice for you right now. Let's go."

Zhu Zhuqing seemed to realize something.

Wang Changsheng was probably going to settle accounts with Dai Mubai.

"Come on. What are you standing there for? Or did you not have enough just now?" Wang Changsheng asked, turning back.

Zhu Zhuqing's icy face turned scarlet in an instant, and she hurried after him.

He feared neither heaven nor earth,

enjoying himself in a reclining chair in the courtyard.

She, on the other hand, had been on pins and needles, terrified that someone would catch them.

On the way to the teaching building,

Wang Changsheng asked,

"I'm going to deal with Dai Mubai and vent your anger for you. Don't tell me you can't bear to see him hurt."

Zhu Zhuqing's expression turned cold.

In the past,

she would indeed have done everything she could to defend Dai Mubai.

But things were different now.

Whenever she thought of Dai Mubai's disgusting face, her belly filled with rage.

It was clearly Wang Changsheng's fault, yet Dai Mubai had accused her of being in the wrong.

Wang Changsheng was less than human.

Dai Mubai was even worse.

"I have nothing to do with him anymore. All I have for him is criticism for his display of incompetence."

"Good."

Now that he knew where Zhu Zhuqing stood,

Wang Changsheng felt much more confident.

On the grounds of Shrek Academy,

Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, watching the students spar.

Wang Changsheng arrived with Zhu Zhuqing in an instant. As soon as they landed, he raised a hand and pointed at Dai Mubai, who was fighting Tang San.

"Evil-Eyed Sick Cat, why don't you get your ass over here and apologize to my woman?"
