Inside the carriage, Xiao Wu curiously asked, "Zhuqing, what are you going to Suotuo City for?"
"Me?" Zhu Zhuqing calmly replied, "I'm going to find someone."
"Oh, I thought you were going to Shrek Academy like us."
"Shrek Academy?" Zhu Zhuqing's heart stirred.
Because she remembered that Dai Mubai was studying at an academy called Shrek in Suotuo City.
Driven by curiosity, Zhu Zhuqing also asked, "Is Shrek Academy very good?"
"Even geniuses like you want to study there?"
Xiao Wu shook her head and said, "We were recommended by a friend, and we haven't decided whether or not to join Shrek Academy yet. We'll go and see first."
"Oh, I see!" Zhu Zhuqing murmured to herself, thinking: Xiao Wu is so strong, her friend must not be weak either.
An academy recommended by her friend shouldn't be bad.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing's heart couldn't help but fill with hope.
Perhaps Dai Mubai is also working hard and striving at Shrek Academy, hoping to resist the cruel fate of the Star Luo Imperial Family with her one day?
After this thought arose, Zhu Zhuqing's mood immediately improved greatly, and she even wanted to meet her fiancé quickly.
The two chatted idly, and before they knew it, their conversation turned to Qi Lin.
Zhu Zhuqing curiously asked, "Xiao Wu, what is your relationship with Qi Lin?"
"Are you a couple?"
Hearing the word 'couple', Xiao Wu's pretty face immediately turned bright red, and she subconsciously stepped harder on the accelerator, causing the off-road vehicle's speed to suddenly surge.
And Xiao Wu seemed completely unaware of this, saying in a slightly hurried voice, "Xiao Lin Ge and I are not a couple yet."
After speaking, she seemed to feel it was inappropriate and quickly added a sentence.
"Not yet!"
As she spoke, her eyes secretly glanced in Qi Lin's direction.
At this moment, Qi Lin, who had been in a daze, happened to hear the topic about himself and had just come back to his senses. He met Xiao Wu's slightly shy expression and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
As the saying goes, a maiden's blush is more beautiful than all the love words in the world.
Only then did Qi Lin realize that Xiao Wu seemed to have truly grown up.
Zhu Zhuqing, sitting in the back seat, looked at Xiao Wu and Qi Lin like this, and a strange sense of envy arose in her heart.
She secretly thought: "Will Dai Mubai and I be like them one day?"
Time flew by, and soon Xiao Wu drove the car to the south of Suotuo City.
After the three of them got out of the car, Qi Lin put the car into his storage bracelet.
The storage bracelet that Bibi Dong had given him had a vast space, dozens of cubic meters, more than enough to hold an off-road vehicle.
Qi Lin said, "Let's go, we'll go into the city first to find a place to stay, and then go to Shrek Academy tomorrow to take a look."
Xiao Wu nodded, and then said to Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhuqing, didn't you say that the person you're looking for is also at Shrek Academy?"
"Why don't you not rush to Shrek for now, and wait until tomorrow for us to go together."
Xiao Wu had a talkative and active personality, and she was particularly enthusiastic towards girls, especially those she liked.
So, after just one car ride, she had already become good friends with Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing thought for a moment, and a faint smile appeared on her somewhat cold face.
"Okay!"
After deciding, the three of them entered Suotuo City together.
Suotuo City was one of the two major cities in the Bar Lark Kingdom, not only vast in area but also extremely prosperous.
Pedestrians streamed endlessly on the streets, hurrying along, with shops lining both sides and continuous shouts.
Xiao Wu pulled Zhu Zhuqing and walked ahead, going into clothing stores and food stores to look around.
Walking with Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing felt her suppressed heart relax a lot.
Qi Lin lazily followed behind the two of them, but whenever Xiao Wu changed clothes and asked him for his opinion, he would always give his evaluation very seriously, emphasizing Xiao Wu's beautiful points, but also not forgetting to point out a few small flaws.
It has to be said that women are indeed gifted when it comes to shopping.
After shopping for one or two hours, they were still full of energy, and even the seemingly cold Zhu Zhuqing was infected by Xiao Wu's mood and began to try on clothes she liked.
After shopping for a while longer, just as they were about to enter a high-end women's clothing store, they saw a tall blonde man from a distance, with his arms around two twin sisters who looked very similar, gesturing grandly inside the store.
At the same time, the voices of the two women and one man also came out.
"Dai Shao, you are so good to us sisters."
"Sister, then what do you say we should do to repay Dai Shao?"
"That's easy, when we sisters serve Dai Shao comfortably together tonight, isn't that the best way to repay him?"
"Oh, sister, keep your voice down, I'm so embarrassed."
"You little coquette, you're even shy now, why weren't you shy last night?"
The voices of the twin sisters were actually not very loud, after all, they were in a store and had to maintain some face.
But unfortunately, the three people who had just reached the entrance of the store were Soul Masters, so they could hear these sounds clearly.
At this moment, the tall blonde man's mouth curved upwards in a wicked smile, and his hands around the two women couldn't help but slide downwards.
"Haha, I've remembered everything you said, don't back out tonight."
As he spoke, he gave a faint smile to the female sales assistant beside him and said domineeringly, "Pack up all the clothes these two ladies tried on just now, I'll take them all."
Upon hearing this, the female sales assistant's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.
"As expected of Dai Shao, so generous!"
At the entrance of the store, after Zhu Zhuqing saw Dai Shao's face clearly, she immediately froze in place.
Blonde hair and heterochromatic eyes, Star Luo Dai family!
He is Dai Mubai!
In an instant, Zhu Zhuqing felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar!
All the beautiful imaginations she had before coming here turned into bubbles at this moment.
Looking at Dai Mubai's dissolute appearance, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to see only a self-indulgent walking corpse.
Has Dai Mubai never thought of fighting against fate all these years away from the Imperial Capital?
Then what was the point of her enduring so many hardships and traveling thousands of miles to find him?
At this moment, a sense of despair arose in Zhu Zhuqing's heart.
Even Dai Mubai had given up and fallen, how could she alone contend against her sister and Davis?
Zhu Zhuqing felt as if her heart was being tightly squeezed, and her legs unconsciously went weak.
However, just as her limp body was about to fall to the side, a large hand suddenly supported her.
What came into view was a clean and refreshing fair face.
"Are you alright!"
This voice was like warm sunlight, suddenly shining into Zhu Zhuqing's heart, which had fallen into an ice cellar.
Looking at Qi Lin's face with a hint of concern, Zhu Zhuqing responded softly.
"I'm fine!"
"Thank you!"
