The next day.
"Pop—"
Zhuge Lan and Zhu Zhuqing were both radiant after a night of cultivation.
Interestingly, because it was their first time cultivating together, the effects were excellent.
Zhuge Lan not only leveled up again, but was pushed all the way to level 40.
Li Jing's longsword, which hadn't activated its spirit fusion skill, also completed its fusion with Zhu Zhuqing's Hell Spirit Cat.
The shared effects of yin and yang blending were once again elevated.
Further distance, higher efficiency, and more shared abilities.
But most importantly—Zhuge Lan could genuinely sense Zhu Zhuqing.
Even with his eyes closed.
As long as he wanted to, he could know Zhu Zhuqing's location and distance.
And then, "Zhuge Lan: Hello? Can you hear me?"
Zhu Zhuqing, who was putting away the plum blossom bedsheets, paused.
She looked at Zhuge Lan with confusion.
After a few seconds.
A message appeared in Zhuge Lan's mind.
"Zhu Zhuqing: ?"
It was just a question mark.
This broadened his thinking.
He silently transmitted all of the first level insights of the Spiral Nine Shadows through their soul link.
Zhu Zhuqing's pupils suddenly lost focus, looking like she was broken.
It startled Zhuge Lan! He quickly stopped the transmission, and Holy Light fell from his hand.
"Ah~~~"
Almost got Zhuge Lan standing up again.
But it's good that he can be called, which means his brain is fine.
Waited a moment.
Zhu Zhuqing's dazed eyes cleared, and she didn't bother with the sheets as she flew over and threw herself at him.
"Smack—"
A real, full-on tackle, with no protection whatsoever!
Could Zhuge Lan endure this?
He healed himself with a dose of healing, the overflowing vitality making him shiver with pleasure. Then, full of energy, he brought Zhu Zhuqing with him and fell directly onto the bed.
They bounced up from the waterbed and fell again.
This time, Zhuge Lan didn't care about dual cultivation; he just enjoyed it!
As the sun set.
Zhu Zhuqing's beauty was simply irresistible.
Zhuge Lan, relying on the Holy Light's blessing for endurance, almost broke Zhu Zhuqing the entire day.
— His body could recover, but his energy couldn't.
Finally, he raised the white flag, requesting to continue the battle another day.
Only then did Zhuge Lan calm down.
"I was trying to restrain myself, but you came and lit the fire," Zhuge Lan blamed.
Zhu Zhuqing lay wearily in Zhuge Lan's arms, nuzzling him like a little cat.
They embraced in silence.
Each enjoyed the tranquility of the moment, the Yin and Yang energy flowing within them, their souls' compatibility improving further.
"Zhu Zhuqing: Lan, can you transmit your insights to me again?"
Zhuge Lan opened his eyes and looked down at Zhu Zhuqing.
She was feigning sleep with her eyes closed.
She was already so tired she didn't want to speak, yet she was still thinking about cultivation?
That's just like you!
"Zhuge Lan: Are you really okay? You looked broken earlier."
「Zhuge Lan: Image」
Looking at that image of his own face, with unfocused, crossed eyes, looking utterly broken and abused.
Zhu Zhuqing felt a strange sense of shame.
—Strange, why am I feeling this way?
「Zhu Zhuqing: It's fine, it's just absorption and transformation. You can send it to me in batches.」
So that's how it is. Alright then.
However,
「Zhuge Lan: I can't just give it to you for free, you know.」
「Zhu Zhuqing: Hands or chest?」
Zhuge Lan: "!!!"
He opened his eyes again, looking at Zhu Zhuqing's cold face.
No way!
How could she say something so… suggestive with such a straight face?
"Zhu Zhuqing: Then, can we add the feet too?"
Zhuge Lan ↓ (ω)
Who could refuse that?!
'System, take control of the transmission?'
[Consuming 1 emotion point/second, soul transmission commencing.]
A little while later.
The first level of cultivation insights had been completely injected into Zhu Zhuqing's mind.
But it was different from the system's direct transmission.
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't apply it directly; she needed to digest and train to use it skillfully.
However, she'd have at most half a month.
If she had to train hard on her own, it would probably take years.
This greatly excited Zhu Zhuqing!
At this rate of getting stronger, she could return to seek revenge in at most five years and slap her sister's face hard!
Then…
Return to Zhuge Lan's side and continue to grow stronger!
What?
The Star Luo Empire?
The Zhu family's glory?
She wasn't interested.
Zhuge Lan was a descendant of the gods, and in all likelihood, she would become a god in the future.
At the very least, she should aim to be a Title Douluo, right? As for anything higher, she didn't dare to dream.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhuge Lan asked, "You seem so lost in thought."
Zhu Zhuqing snapped back to reality, smiling and shaking her head.
Watching the morning sun rise on the horizon, she got up and headed towards the shower room.
Zhuge Lan looked at the open door, how could she not understand? Her body was covered in marks from the battle, so she would use Zhu Zhuqing's bath ball to give herself a good scrub.
"Zhuqing, I'm coming in!"
Shrek Academy.
Zhuge Lan didn't use a teleport this time; he and Zhu Zhuqing walked to the school gate.
They saw Yu Tianheng and his group confronting Dai Mubai and the others.
To Zhuge Lan's surprise, Meng Yiran was also with the Shrek team.
"Get that brat out here!" Dugu Yan raged. "If you dare to do something, at least own up to it! Or are you not a man?"
"Heh!" Ma Hongjun sneered. "You lost, you lost. Why are you even here? Can't handle losing, huh?"
"Who would want to come to this dump of a school?" Yu Feng scoffed. "If it wasn't for Teacher Qin, do you think we'd be in this backwater place?"
The two sides argued, practically nose-to-nose.
Didn't Zhuge Lan want to stir things up?
He kicked a pebble, which flew past Tang San and straight towards Yu Tianheng's face.
"Crack——"
Lightning shattered the stones, simultaneously igniting the flames of battle.
"You dare to ambush us?"
"Charge together!"
"Third Soul Skill!"
"Second Soul Skill!"
The light of the martial spirits and soul skills blazed, and both sides clashed together.
However, the Royal Sky Dou Team was composed entirely of Soul Masters.
Shrek Academy only had Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Oscar with a third soul ring – and Oscar was a support-type.
Meng Yiran was already level 30, but she hadn't added a third soul ring because she wanted to increase the age of her soul rings.
Zhuge Lan had planned to act secretly, helping whichever side was at a disadvantage.
Unexpectedly, Tang San sneakily pulled out a hidden arrow, aiming it at Ye Lingling's shoulder.
He really understood how troublesome the Nine Hearts Begonia was, after yesterday.
The hidden arrow was coated with a paralyzing poison; he wanted to put her to sleep for a while.
But... Swish!
Zhuge Lan moved like a phantom, catching up to the hidden arrow and grabbing it between his fingertips before it could hit Ye Lingling's shoulder.
——And under the cover of his position, a shift of form and shadow, moved the Hidden Arrow to Ye Lingling's brow.
The situation had changed.
Ye Lingling felt the coldness on her brow, and her martial soul dissipated.
She almost died just now?!
The Royal Sky Dou Team, who had lost their healing, all turned to look.
Seeing Zhuge Lan, their eyes turned red!
Abandoning their respective opponents, they lunged at Zhuge Lan.
Ye Lingling came back to her senses.
She grabbed Zhuge Lan, protecting him behind her.
"Everyone, wait a moment, he just saved me!"
"Get out of the way!" Dugu Yan said furiously, "I will make this little brat pay today!"
Oh?
Zhuge Lan played with his Hidden Arrow, walking out from behind Ye Lingling.
He summoned his Thorn Armor, and three purple spirit rings lit up.
"I'm just standing here, come on and hit me~"
He was being so cocky.
Dugu Yan was about to strike in anger.
Yu Tianheng, who had already suffered a loss, quickly pulled his girlfriend back.
If Dugu Yan were to take to the air, it would really be a fight to the death.
Yu Feng and the others were also hesitant to act, afraid of causing unintended consequences.
The atmosphere immediately became awkward.
They charged over with killing intent, and now they were just... standing around?
The smirk on Zhuge Lan's face stung the six members of the Royal Sky Dou Team deeply.
"Oh, you don't dare to attack?"
[Emotion Points +11111] [Emotion Points +44444]
No!
"How can there be such a disgusting person?!"
"His martial soul is disgusting to the extreme, and the person is also incredibly cheap!"
Zhuge Lan even added a few words of mockery.
Ye Lingling stepped in front of Zhuge Lan again.
She looked at Zhuge Lan with a pleading gaze – Please, don't provoke them anymore, okay?
Hmm.
The cold and aloof girl suddenly became so soft and cute; it was still quite a potent attack.
Forget it.
Anyway, they were already angry, and he was continuously farming emotional points.
Zhuge Lan revealed his Hidden Arrow, looking towards Tang San in the crowd.
He grinned and said,
"So, Little San."
"Can you explain what's going on here?"
