"Zhu Zhuqing, do you dare to say you didn't come to Shrek Academy to find me?!"
"Why are you giving me the cold shoulder now that you're here?!"
"Don't think I'll indulge you!"
"…"
Outside Zhu Zhuqing's dormitory at Shrek Academy.
Dai Mubai's suppressed roar was met only with Zhu Zhuqing's icy words: "You flatter yourself."
From a distance.
Ye Qiu saw Dai Mubai's ugly expression as he stormed away.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression was icy.
She stood in place, her eyes filled with deep disappointment.
She had come looking for Dai Mubai, but not this Dai Mubai. Bullying men and women, pointlessly enraged, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and being promiscuous! He was just a prince who had fled in disgrace, just to survive.
Yet, he showed absolutely no ambition or resistance! This kind of Dai Mubai would only make her deny all the years of her efforts. Dai Mubai had sunk so low.
Even if she put in more effort, what was the point? This kind of Dai Mubai, by what right did he think that she, Zhu Zhuqing, was indispensable to him?!
He had clearly abandoned her.
Zhu Zhuqing clenched her delicate fists tightly, then slowly released them, her eyes filled with deep helplessness.
Her heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness.
No matter what, this was her fate, a destiny arranged from the moment she awakened her Martial Soul.
She also wanted to live.
She also understood that her talent was limited, and she couldn't possibly handle everything on her own.
Now, she could only place her hopes on Dai Mubai changing.
As long as he could change, she would have a chance!
Zhu Zhuqing's rapid breathing gradually calmed, and she turned to walk towards the dormitory.
Whoosh!
Suddenly.
A seductive voice echoed behind Zhu Zhuqing.
"I can help you."
Zhu Zhuqing turned around sharply, lowering her center of gravity in a defensive posture, and looked at Ye Qiu, who was now close. She immediately retreated, creating distance between them.
"Ye Qiu?"
Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, her voice cold.
She didn't know when, but Ye Qiu was already standing where she had been.
He was smiling as he observed the still-twitching Fatty Bo.
"It's me."
"What's up?"
Zhu Zhuqing relaxed a little, her words concise.
She didn't know if Ye Qiu had seen what happened, but it didn't matter.
"Hmm, let me think about it,"
Ye Qiu said, pinching his chin, feigning thought.
His black eyes, which shimmered with a purple light, were seriously sizing up Zhu Zhuqing.
Her face was delicate, with exquisite features.
At such a young age, she had a hot figure, and her perfect legs were perfectly outlined by the leather pants, very pleasing to the eye.
Just one glance.
Ye Qiu could calculate her measurements.
Zhu Zhuqing stared coldly at Ye Qiu.
Her eyes were guarded, and a strange feeling arose in her heart, as if Ye Qiu had seen through her.
If Ye Qiu's gaze had not been somewhat proper, she would have attacked long ago.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's impatience, Ye Qiu didn't press his luck.
Smiling, he extended his hand, palm open in front of Zhu Zhuqing, as if inviting her to dance.
"Do you want to change your current situation? I can help you."
"What do you mean?"
Zhu Zhuqing frowned.
She was very rational, knowing that she and Ye Qiu were only strangers.
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow, tilting his head.
"Don't understand? It's exactly what it sounds like."
"What I mean is, why are you helping me?"
Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained unchanged.
"How should I put it?"
Ye Qiu rubbed his chin, raising his eyebrows as if in thought.
He muttered to himself:
"Is it because I'm handsome? Or is it mutual benefit? Or maybe she just likes to help people?"
"I think I have all three," Ye Qiu said, not holding back, and voiced his thoughts.
His words seemed to be a question and an answer at the same time.
Zhu Zhuqing found it hard to understand; Ye Qiu seemed to know a lot about himself.
"So? What do you say?"
Ye Qiu extended his hand again, inviting Zhu Zhuqing.
Between the three…
Perhaps, being attracted by her appearance was the dominant factor.
After all, if she were ugly, Ye Qiu wouldn't have approached her.
Zhu Zhuqing was silent.
She didn't doubt Ye Qiu's ability to help her.
Leaving aside Ye Qiu's astonishing ten-thousand-year fourth ring, his Soul Ancestor cultivation alone was enough to prove he was qualified.
But she also understood.
There was no such thing as a free lunch!
Ye Qiu didn't seem to be without demands either, and she had her own bottom line.
If she sold her body to gain power,
it wouldn't be much different from her current situation.
After a long time.
Zhu Zhuqing spoke again, testing the waters, "What must I offer in return?"
"As I said, it's mutually beneficial. This isn't a one-sided deal, and as for taking advantage of your beauty, I won't force you."
Ye Qiu wasn't impatient.
His face wore a smile as gentle as a spring breeze, very graceful.
He didn't expect Zhu Zhuqing to agree immediately. It was enough to cast a lure first.
His thoughts drifted away like the wind, disappearing in an instant.
Ye Qiu watched Zhu Zhuqing, who was still deep in thought.
Continuing, he said, "To facilitate our cooperation, we need to let down our guard. So, there's no need to rush. I can wait."
"Then how will you help me escape my current situation?"
Zhu Zhuqing asked, puzzled.
"The most direct method is to help you become stronger, isn't it? How about this... I'll give you a small gift first, to show my sincerity."
Ye Qiu slightly bent his hand, gesturing for Zhu Zhuqing to give him her hand.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing hesitate,
Ye Qiu wasn't hurried, still maintaining the gesture with his hand, his tone unhurried.
"You don't need to worry. I have no reason to harm you, do I?"
After much hesitation and with a hint of doubt, Zhu Zhuqing placed her delicate hand into Ye Qiu's.
Regardless of whether Ye Qiu could help her escape her current predicament,
becoming stronger was always the right choice.
With power, she would have a sense of security; her cultivation would be entirely her own! This alone was already very tempting.
Ye Qiu didn't hesitate.
He grasped Zhu Zhuqing's small hand.
It wasn't cold, but warm, soft, and incredibly delicate.
As soon as they made contact, Zhu Zhuqing felt a warm force surging into her body, flowing from her arm.
It felt as warm and comfortable as it had yesterday.
The lingering injuries from the previous day were healed within a few breaths.
Zhu Zhuqing assumed this was Ye Qiu's gift.
She wanted to pull her hand back.
However, Ye Qiu's voice entered her ears.
"Concentrate, and memorize the paths these Soul Power flows through."
Zhu Zhuqing sensed Ye Qiu's Soul Power was flowing through her body, circulating through her meridians.
A faint blush appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's cold face.
A little shy, but mostly excited.
She could feel that her Soul Power was circulating several times faster when following Ye Qiu's.
It was probably even faster than someone with Innate Full Soul Power.
She looked at Ye Qiu in surprise.
Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow.
"What? Is my speed too fast? Should I slow down?"
"No, it's just right."
Suppressing her joy, Zhu Zhuqing shook her head.
Ye Qiu was quite pleased with himself.
In this world, the ability of the Mysterious Heaven Skill was obvious to all.
After all, Tang San's Innate Full Soul Power talent was, to a large extent, thanks to the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Ye Qiu even thought that those without Innate Soul Power could cultivate Soul Power using the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
After all, Tang San could cultivate it before awakening his Martial Soul.
