Watching the scene,
Ning Rongrong suddenly felt her face warm and tingly, as if someone was blowing on her cheeks. She slightly turned her head and noticed that Ye Qiu was almost pressed against her.
Just as she was about to scold him, she caught sight of the fiery figure.
"Eh? Zhu Zhuqing, you're back."
Ning Rongrong let out a small sound of surprise, blushing as she quickly stood and went forward to grab Zhu Zhuqing's arm, blowing air near her ear.
"Zhuqing, look at that guy, he's such a pushover."
"Last time he lost, fine, but this time he even kneeled to a Level 35 Soul Master."
"Hmph! Always bullying us girls."
Ning Rongrong said indignantly, frowning as she glanced at Ye Qiu, feeling conflicted.
She had helped Ye Qiu by pushing Zhu Zhuqing toward him.Did this count as being "green-eyed" at Dai Mubai while also "green-eyed" herself? But right now, she seemed to be just Ye Qiu's friend; he hadn't started chasing her yet. How strange.
"Rongrong, forget him, let's go."
Zhu Zhuqing withdrew her gaze, her disappointment hard to conceal. Linking arms with Ning Rongrong, she prepared to leave.
"We're leaving already? Are you sure you don't want to watch a bit more? He might win."
Ye Qiu stood, removing his mask.
He could tell that Dai Mubai's opponent was nearly out of Soul Power.
"No need."
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head.
At this point, whether Dai Mubai won or lost no longer mattered to her.
Win or lose, it had nothing to do with her.
A smile curved at the corner of Ye Qiu's mouth as he calmly put his mask away.
"In that case, let's go. Today, I'll treat you all to a feast!"
Ning Rongrong pushed aside her thoughts, holding onto Ye Qiu's sleeve and linking arms with Zhu Zhuqing as they walked out.
Ye Qiu teased, "Treating us? That's nice. I'll order extra dishes then."
"You liar! If you dare randomly pick dishes again, I won't forgive you!"
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth, threatening Ye Qiu.
The last time, he had inverted a bowl of papaya milk pudding over her head—she hadn't forgotten.
Ye Qiu laughed lightly and waved his hand.
"Don't worry, I won't order randomly. With Zhuqing here, whatever she chooses will surely be better than what I would pick."
"You… you scoundrel! Filthy!"
Ning Rongrong's face turned red.
Yet she secretly looked forward to Zhu Zhuqing feeding the two big cats according to her recipes.
"Rongrong, what are you two talking about?"
Zhu Zhuqing frowned, puzzled.
She couldn't help but wonder what Ye Qiu and Ning Rongrong were discussing, and why Ye Qiu had recovered so quickly.
"N-nothing, Zhuqing. Let's go and ignore that liar."
Ning Rongrong hurriedly held Zhu Zhuqing's arm, pulling her away while reminding her to order whatever she liked when eating.
She didn't care about money.
She only cared about Zhu Zhuqing's recipes.
On the Dou Soul Arena,
Dai Mubai felt frustrated.
At first, when he heard his opponent's cultivation level, he thought he could finally show his prowess, display his strength.
But every time he was about to win, his opponent's Soul Skill would control him, forcing him to kneel.
At this moment, his face twisted in rage, wishing he could kill the sword-wielding person in front of him. When he finally regained mobility and his opponent's Soul Power was exhausted, just as he was about to strike,
the opponent had already calculated it and jumped off the arena.
Dai Mubai was so frustrated he felt like vomiting blood, his eyes bloodshot. Such a victory was more unbearable than being killed.
Returning to the waiting area,
he couldn't find Zhu Zhuqing or the others.
Even more enraged,
"Bastard! That bitch deserves to die!"
Dai Mubai roared furiously, venting his anger. Yet still unsatisfied, he turned to find the long-awaited twin sisters, continuing his small tiger roar to release frustration.
These days, he had been pent-up.Even if the time was short and his strength lacking, the twin sisters were so loud.
He enjoyed that little "music," showcasing his might.
Yet Dai Mubai did not realize that while he had arranged a room with the twins and after less than two and a half minutes of struggle had entered a state of desireless calm,
Ye Qiu had also called Zhu Zhuqing to the small grove.
After Ning Rongrong's enthusiastic hospitality, the three of them were full and satisfied, returning to Shrek Academy.
Zhu Zhuqing left early to return to the dorm.
Ye Qiu and Ning Rongrong strolled through the academy.
"Ning Rongrong, are you free this afternoon? Want to hang out?"
Ye Qiu again draped an arm over Ning Rongrong, speaking with a somewhat flippant tone.
"Go away, I'm not free this afternoon."
Ning Rongrong struggled, pushing Ye Qiu away, her gaze uncertain and a little guilty.
"Not free? Fine. Let me know when you are."
Ye Qiu didn't dwell on it; he hadn't really intended to meet her anyway.
"Hmph! Wait for my notice then."
Ning Rongrong snorted, running off.
She already had plans for the afternoon: to find Oscar and start her revenge plan.
Train him into a dog!
As she ran, she slowed down, feeling uneasy. What if Ye Qiu misunderstood her?
Her mind briefly considered accepting Ye Qiu's invitation.
She turned back, only to complain aloud.
"Ah! This damn liar!"
"Claiming he wants to hang out but having no patience, running off like he's reincarnating?!"
Seeing the empty field,
Ning Rongrong left in a huff, her worries diminished. She wasn't trying to seduce anyone; a few words were enough to deal with that brat Oscar!
Little did she know,
Ye Qiu, after checking and not finding Tang Hao, had already gone to find Zhu Zhuqing.
In the small grove,
Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Qiu stood facing each other.
Leaning against a tree, Ye Qiu smiled and asked, "So? What's your decision?"
Zhu Zhuqing's expression was calm and cold.
She didn't answer Ye Qiu's question, instead staring intently at him with a strange look.
Speaking to herself, she began:
"You're very strange.
You don't seem to have been saddened long by Xiao Wu's plight, or perhaps… you weren't sad at all."
Hearing this, Ye Qiu was slightly taken aback, shrugging in confusion.
"Is that important?"
"To me, it is very important."
Zhu Zhuqing's expression was serious, her voice cold. She didn't want to repeat past mistakes.
Jumping from one fire pit into another has no meaning.
"If you are the kind of person who can abandon others at will without guilt, then the so-called cooperation you mention, I will refuse without hesitation, even if you could truly help me change my circumstances."
Zhu Zhuqing spoke calmly.
"So, this is what you were worried about?"
Ye Qiu slightly nodded.
He now understood what Zhu Zhuqing meant by "him," and finally realized why she had been curious about his attitude toward Xiao Wu. It made sense.
"Yes."
Zhu Zhuqing confirmed.
