Too The door to the private room opened, and a curvaceous young woman in a black leather jacket walked in.
"Zhuqing, what brings you here?" Zu Zong asked.
Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes at Zu Zong, thinking, "I was worried you were hurt, so I came to check on you. And you, instead, you're all lovey-dovey with that rabbit.
" Zhu Zhuqing said coldly, "Nothing, just came to see if you're dead."
Noticing Zhu Zhuqing's gaze, Zu Zong glanced out of the corner of his eye at Xiao Wu, who was still clinging to his neck. Zu Zong felt embarrassed and quickly untied Xiao Wu
. Xiao Wu made a face at Zhu Zhuqing before reluctantly letting go.
Zu Zong took Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and the two left the private room. Zu Zong smiled and said, "Wife, don't you trust your man? I beat that little tiger the whole time without even breaking a sweat."
Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face flushed red, like a cat with its fur standing on end, and she punched Zu Zong's arm hard.
"Hmph! Who, who's your wife? Don't talk nonsense, I haven't agreed yet!"
It was the first time Zu Zong had ever seen the little kitten act so affectionately, and he couldn't help but pull her into his arms, whispering in her ear, "In this life, I've got you all to myself, you'll never escape."
"Mmm," Zhu Zhuqing nodded, her face flushed
. Looking at his lover's alluring lips in his arms, Zu Zong couldn't help but swallow.
Now that they were alone and the atmosphere was so perfect, how could he not give her his first kiss after two lifetimes?
Thinking this, Zu Zong hugged Zhu Zhuqing even tighter. Zhu Zhuqing seemed to sense something, and slightly closed her eyes. At the same time, her breathing quickened, her face grew even redder, and even her neck was tinged with pink.
Zhu Zhuqing and Zu Zong embraced, he lifted her rosy cheeks, his lips landing on her forehead, eyes, and the tip of her nose. Finally, unable to resist the temptation, he kissed the softness he had longed for.
Their thin lips drew closer, almost touching.
Feeling the warmth of the zuzong breath, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but recall the dream she'd had recently—so real, so beautiful, and so similar to this moment. It was a pity Ning Rongrong had interrupted; this time it was real, surely no one would bother them!
Unfortunately, what people fear most is often what reality delivers.
"What are you two doing, in public? Shame on you!"
It was Xiao Wu who spoke. She had secretly followed the clan leader and Zhu Zhuqing out of the private room, wanting to hear what they were saying. Who would have thought they were going to…you know…that? Although she had reluctantly accepted Zhu Zhuqing's presence, how could she let this fierce woman get away with giving Xiao Zong, whom even her sister Xiao Wu hadn't received, her first kiss?
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing felt a pang of regret, but even more so, shame and indignation. To be discovered like this by others was utterly humiliating, and she immediately fled.
The zuzong helplessly patted his forehead. So close, so very close! Why Xiao Wu? If it were Dai Mubai or the others, he was sure they'd beat them so badly their own mothers wouldn't recognize them.
Looking at Xiao Wu's pretty face, a mixture of embarrassment and anger, the zuzong was both amused and exasperated. He patted Xiao Wu's head and said with a wry smile, "Alright, alright, don't be angry. How about a week's deluxe carrot meal?"
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and the disappointment she felt because of the zuzong's 'cheating' instantly vanished. "Two weeks, no, I want a month."
"Okay, okay, a month it is. You really are a little foodie."
As he spoke, the zuzong was about to go after Zhu Zhuqing; he still had something to give her.
The zuzong gathered his soul power beneath his feet, used his Instantaneous Movement Technique, and vanished from the corridor in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Wu, still reeling, was left stomping her feet in frustration.
Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing had already dashed out of the Soto City Great Soul Arena. The Shrek Academy members were already waiting there.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing emerge, Ning Rongrong waved and called out, "Zhuqing, Zhuqing, we're here!"
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Ning Rongrong. Looking around at everyone, she found them all there. Even Dai Mubai had woken up and was standing to the side, though he looked quite listless. Although his physical injuries had healed considerably, his emotional wounds were unlikely to heal anytime soon.
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Zhuqing tried to calm her earlier irritation caused by shyness. She walked up to Ning Rongrong and smiled, "It's alright, let's go back to the academy."
Ning Rongrong looked at her with suspicion again, thinking: Did she just go see her little boyfriend?
Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong's gossipy nature was stirred again, and she said, "Zhu Qing, why is your face so red!"
Zhu Zhu Qing's face turned pale, and she hurriedly explained, "It's because I ran too fast, I ran too fast."
"Oh, is that so! Don't worry, I understand, I understand," Ning Rongrong laughed.
The conversation between the two girls puzzled Meng Yiran, one of the only three girls present, who asked, "Rongrong, what are you talking about!"
Meng Yiran had only joined Shrek Academy less than a day ago, and Ning Rongrong didn't want to tell her best friend about their conversation. Besides, even if she did tell her, she would need Zhu Zhu Qing's permission, so she replied perfunctorily, "Nothing, nothing. Zhu Qing said she's a little tired from the battle today and wants to go back and rest."
Just then, shouts came from the direction of the Soto City Great Battle Arena gate again.
"Zhu Qing, Zhu Qing."
The Shrek students turned around and saw a young man walking over.
The young man looked about twelve or thirteen years old, about the same age as the others. He was over 1.7 meters tall and wearing a black outfit. The back of his outfit was emblazoned with a flaming fan, making him quite eye-catching. He had long, blue-silver hair that cascaded down to his shoulders, fair skin, and strikingly handsome features. This was none other than the clan patriarch who had come to pursue Zhu Zhuqing. Actually, Zhu Zhuqing had barely stepped out of the Soul Arena when the clan patriarch arrived, but he had changed into his everyday clothes to avoid embarrassing her. After all, he had just given Dai Mubai a sound beating, and his fellow Shrek Academy students would definitely be hostile towards him. He didn't care about the zuzong, but his little kitten would be staying at Shrek Academy for a while!
Ma Hongjun glanced at the zuzong, thinking, "Wow, he's so handsome!" While feeling envious, he said to Dai Mubai beside him, "Wow! Boss Dai, this handsome guy who came looking for Zhu Qing seems to know her. And he has a face even more handsome than yours and Xiao Ao's. You're in danger."
Dai Mubai glared at Ma Hongjun and said coldly, "Don't meddle in things that aren't your business."
Although he wasn't seriously injured, he had quite a few superficial wounds, and his body felt burning hot with the slightest movement. Otherwise, he would have rushed over and beaten up the zuzong long ago.
As for Oscar, the more he looked at the clan leader, the more he resembled the Uchiha zuzong who had crippled Dai Mubai in the Soul Arena. Only he wasn't wearing a mask, and his clothes were different! After thinking about it, he decided not to say it,
in case he mistook him for someone else and it would be awkward. Ning Rongrong was stunned. Seeing the familiar figure in front of her, she finally remembered that the Uchiha clan leader was the one she had met at the mask stall a while ago. No wonder the Uchiha zu who fought Dai Mubai in the Soul Arena felt so familiar to her; it turned out that the fire fox mask he was wearing was from there.
