"So, you mean she didn't want to kill me?"
Xiao Ze nodded, "That's right. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to leave the Star Luo Empire alive."
"Then why did she do that?" Zhu Zhuqing didn't understand.
"Perhaps she wanted you to leave the Star Luo Empire and not return.
Your sister knows very well that if you go back, she will have to compete with you, and at least one of you will die.
But as long as you don't go back, the Star Luo Emperor can't do anything to you."
Of course, these were just Xiao Ze's guesses; the specifics would depend on what Zhu Zhuyun was thinking.
Zhu Zhuqing listened to these words, pondered for a long time, and felt that this possibility was very high.
But she still wanted to confront Zhu Zhuyun in person to clarify.
"Alright, you can ask her about the specifics during the Soul Master Competition. She will definitely be there."
"Mhm."
At the same time.
Star Luo Empire.
A woman with a similar build to Zhu Zhuqing stood on a balcony, gazing at the bright moon in the sky.
Tap, tap, tap~~
"What are you thinking about?" A golden-haired, heterochromatic-eyed man came up behind her.
"Nothing." Zhu Zhuyun shook her head.
"You're thinking about your sister, aren't you?" Dai Weisi chuckled.
"Yes, I wonder how she's doing now."
"Sigh… This matter is Dai Mubai's problem, but her leaving the Star Luo Empire is a good thing."
Dai Weisi didn't want things to be this way either, but there was no other choice.
"Have you received any news about her?" Zhu Zhuyun asked.
"Yes." Dai Weisi nodded, but his expression was a bit strange.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Zhuyun keenly noticed Dai Weisi's unusual behavior and asked.
"See for yourself." Dai Weisi handed the message in his hand to Zhu Zhuyun.
Zhu Zhuyun examined it.
The message contained everything from Zhu Zhuqing entering Shrek Academy to later joining Tian Dou Royal Academy, and so on.
It even included the incident of Dai Mubai being hit by a large stick.
It was very detailed.
After reading it, Zhu Zhuyun was also a bit stunned.
Wasn't her sister going to find Dai Mubai?
Now she had gone off with another man.
And this man had three other women by his side, all of whom had extraordinary backgrounds.
What… was this?
"Dai Mubai is already considered crippled. His strength is decent, but his mind is no longer sharp, and with Zhu Linlin from your Zhu family there, he's definitely going to run into trouble."
Dai Weisi didn't care.
Their relationship wasn't good anyway.
"But that Xiao Ze is really interesting; he actually managed to abduct your sister.
And the other three women all have extraordinary backgrounds.
One is the eldest young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
One is the granddaughter of the Poison Douluo.
One is the contemporary successor of the Nine Heart Begonia Ye family."
Dai Weisi even admired Xiao Ze a bit. If he had that ability, would he still need to compete with Dai Mubai?
"Heh… I wonder what kind of charm this man has to make Zhuqing follow him." Zhu Zhuyun was very curious.
"Who knows? But it has nothing to do with us. Let's just focus on managing the Star Luo Empire.
It looks like your sister won't be coming back.
As for Dai Mubai…" Dai Weisi shrugged.
"Mhm."
Dai Weisi put his arm around Zhu Zhuyun's shoulder and left.
… …
Time passed day by day.
Today was an important day.
The simulated training ground designed by Ning Rongrong and the other three was finally completed.
The simulated training ground, built at a cost of millions, was extremely luxurious.
Although it couldn't compare to the Ye family's simulated training ground.
It should be noted that the Ye family's simulated training ground was several times the size of this backyard.
If the areas were similar, then this backyard's would be even more expensive.
Ning Rongrong named this simulated training ground the Azure Spirit Secret Realm.
It was indeed very fitting.
The Azure Spirit Secret Realm used a thousand-year-old Azure Spirit Wood as its core, combined with high-level spirit tool runes, to slowly gather the natural life force from several miles around.
And it was very gentle, not directly harming other plants.
By combining vegetation, water systems, and spirit tools, it formed a gentle and efficient life field.
Xiao Ze had tested the effect of the Azure Spirit Secret Realm, and his cultivation speed could indeed be significantly improved.
And as long as he didn't overdo it while cultivating, the plants, spirit grasses, and spirit medicines in the Azure Spirit Secret Realm would not die.
They would slowly recover later.
The Azure Spirit Secret Realm primarily consisted of three parts.
The first part was the central part, which was also the core area.
It was a thousand-year-old Azure Spirit Wood, with a thick trunk, lush branches and leaves, and natural spirit power patterns formed on its bark.
This kind of thousand-year-old Azure Spirit Wood was very difficult to find.
This was mainly because most hundred-year-old Azure Spirit Woods had already become Spirit Beasts, and those thousand-year-old Azure Spirit Woods that hadn't yet become Spirit Beasts were extremely rare.
Once they became Spirit Beasts, they could not be used as the core.
Spirit Beasts were uncontrollable.
The roots of the Azure Spirit Wood were connected to an underground spirit tool array, slowly absorbing elemental energy from heaven and earth and converting it into gentle life energy.
The underground spirit tool array primarily had three functions.
Spirit Gathering, Foundation Strengthening, and Harmonizing.
Spirit Gathering could attract the essence of plants, increasing the concentration of life force in the courtyard.
Foundation Strengthening could prevent problems caused by excessive life force, just as a full cup overflows. This ensured stability during cultivation.
As for Harmonizing, it balanced various other elements to avoid energy conflicts.
Seeing the construction of the simulated training ground, Xiao Ze was quite enlightened.
Although the Douluo Continent did not have battle-related spirit tools.
Other spirit tools were still relatively developed.
The simulated training grounds were all created using spirit tools, and the effects were exceptionally good.
Cultivation requires wealth, companions, methods, and a suitable location.
The simulated training ground counted as both the location and the wealth.
With talent, one might cultivate quickly, but if you add a simulated training ground, the effect is even better.
Indeed, Shrek Academy was trash; it had nothing.
In the original work, the reason they cultivated so quickly was due to Tang San's protagonist's halo and Immortal Herbs.
Otherwise, it would be hard to say if they could even become Titled Douluo.
Next to the Azure Spirit Wood was the second area.
The Spirit Spring Pool.
It was a circular stone-built pool, into which living water was introduced, and the bottom of the pool was paved with fragments of Living Spirit Crystals, giving the pool water a faint aura of life.
Living Spirit Crystal was a special kind of ore. Although called an ore, it was very brittle and would break if not handled carefully.
However, it contained life energy and was generally used for treating injuries or for healing-type Spirit Masters to cultivate.
It wasn't particularly precious, but the quantity in one pool was still considerable.
There were also several small fish swimming in the water.
The third area was the Hundred Herb Garden.
The Hundred Herb Garden was located at the very front of the Azure Spirit Secret Realm, and it was planted with various rare spirit grasses and spirit medicines.
With the help of the immense life energy here, although not as good as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, their growth rate was much faster than outside.
These spirit grasses and spirit medicines could not only help Xiao Ze cultivate, but also allow him to refine pills later, killing two birds with one stone.
Xiao Ze looked at the perfect Azure Spirit Secret Realm, the smile on his face impossible to suppress.
