Chapter 166 Cat
"Zhuqing, are you really sure you want to go to Tiandou?"
A tall and plump girl asked Zhu Zhuqing beside her with a look of reluctance.
Her appearance is very similar to Zhu Zhuqing's. She lacks Zhu Zhuqing's coldness and adds a mature charm, making her look very soft.
There was charm in the voice, but Zhu Zhuqing could clearly hear the reluctance in the words. The cold aura faded, and Zhu Zhuqing said helplessly: "Sister, if I also join the team of Xingluo Royal Academy, if my performance is better, then you will be criticized."
Looking at his sister Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing said patiently: "Sister, don't worry, I'm not going to some small college, I'm going to Tiandou Royal Academy, there will be no problem."
"But..." Zhu Zhuyun's expression became even more impatient when he heard Tiandou, "We have been competing with Tiandou for so many years, what should you do if their people bully you in the academy?"
After Zhu Zhuqing withdrew from the competition for the queen, the relationship between Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun immediately recovered, and it even became much better than before the martial soul resonance with Dai Mubai occurred.
From Zhu Zhuyun's point of view, it was entirely because Zhu Zhuqing did not want to fight for the queen's status with her sisters. Otherwise, she could have exited the forest after her target was killed and told the guards about the incident, so that the guards could come forward to help hunt for the soul.
Instead of randomly choosing a soul beast as a soul ring like now.
Zhu Zhuqing could put the body of the soul beast into the soul guide and show it to the guards. The guards would see the wounds and judge whether Zhu Zhuqing could win alone. As long as Zhu Zhuqing exaggerates a little, he can have a chance to persuade the guards to help. (that is, the art of language)
Because of this, not only was Zhu Zhuyun not jealous of Zhu Zhuqing for awakening the power of the netherworld, but he also believed that this was the reward that Zhu Zhuqing deserved for his cleansing.
She has lost the possibility of obtaining the position of queen, what's wrong with getting some compensation?
Zhu Zhuqing, who had obtained the power of the netherworld, was not as good as Zhu Zhuyun in terms of hard strength, but in terms of comprehensiveness, Zhu Zhuqing's performance was much better than Zhu Zhuyun.
The second soul skill, Hidden Shadow Surprise Attack, allows Zhu Zhuqing to lurk into the shadows. And when attacking from the shadow, both strength and speed are enhanced. In addition, the claws of the Nether Civet Cat who awakened the power of the Netherworld have been strengthened, gaining what Zhu Zhuqing calls "corrosion" power.
The power of corrosion, the black airflow wrapped around Zhu Zhuqing's claws can adhere to the hit part with Zhu Zhuqing's attack, which can reduce the recovery speed and intensity, and can greatly make up for the lack of attack power of the Nether Civet.
Coupled with the instantaneous explosive power of the first soul skill, Nether Thrust, and the ability of the second soul skill to lurk in the shadows, Zhu Zhuqing became an agility-attack soul master with both extremely strong explosive lethality and intelligence gathering capabilities.
But this also leads to another problem, that is, Zhu Zhuyun's performance is not as eye-catching as Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuyun trained according to the Zhu family's long-standing tradition. His soul skill configuration had no highlights, and was the most typical soul skill configuration of an output-type agility attack type soul master. Because of this, everyone knows her fighting style.
But Zhu Zhuqing's fighting style is different. Her fighting style of being able to escape thousands of miles without hitting a single hit is eye-catching. Anyone who has seen Zhu Zhuqing's fighting style thinks that her fighting style will have a revolutionary impact on the Zhu family.
But this was quickly stopped by De Gaulle, the current head of the Dai family of the Xingluo royal family, and Zhu Lanchun, the current head of the Zhu family, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing's father.
The reason is very simple. Once the power of the netherworld is awakened, the Zhu family will no longer be able to produce martial soul fusion skills with the Dai family's White Tiger martial spirit. The Dai family will naturally not allow this to happen.
And the Zhu family is also for this reason. Losing the martial soul fusion skill means that the Zhu family is no longer a necessity for the Dai family. Even if the Zhu family with the power of the netherworld can theoretically rival the Dai family in combat effectiveness, the ruthless de Gaulle will definitely say something before they can form real combat effectiveness. The Zhu family killed only a few people, and then re-cultivated the new Zhu family.
Emperor Xingluo and the head of the Zhu family, who thought of this at the same time, both agreed to restrict the spread of Zhu Zhuqing's news. Only a very few people knew the true situation of Zhu Zhuqing.
Of course, de Gaulle could have killed Zhu Zhuqing. But Zhu Zhuqing is too precious as the only example of someone who has awakened the power of the netherworld today, and this kind of netherworld civet is indeed very powerful. Therefore, De Gaulle planned to use Zhu Zhuqing as a special case to see how far she could go.
Anyway, the innate soul power is only level seven, so it is impossible to make any waves.
"It's okay, sister." Zhu Zhuqing comforted Zhu Zhuyun in turn, "I'm just studying, not provoking conflicts. They won't target me."
"Besides, our two countries haven't had a war for a long time. They won't bother me about things that happened hundreds of years ago."
What Zhu Zhuqing said made sense, but Zhu Zhuyun was still worried. She said, "Then you can definitely go to Wuhun Palace Soul Master Academy. The environment there is better, and the teachers are stronger than Tiandou."
Zhu Zhuqing shook his head and just smiled faintly.
Of course, she didn't just decide to go to Tiandou Royal Academy casually. Her goal was very clear, which was to suggest that she choose Shadow Lizard's Ancient Journey for her second soul ring.
For Zhu Zhuqing, who was born in the Zhu family of Xingluo and whose martial soul resonated with the prince of the Dai family, her life could end at a glance.
Together with his fiancé, he faced off against his sister and her fiancé, two groups of people who also shared the resonance of martial souls, and started a life-and-death battle for the dominance of the Star Luo Empire.
Or she would win with her fiancé, he would become the emperor of Xingluo Empire, and she would become the queen. Then she would give birth to a child and watch her child continue this bloody and cruel struggle.
Or she would fail and be killed by her sister. She would watch her child become her sister in a bloody internal struggle.
However, a person she met by chance helped her get out of this vortex smoothly. Gu You, a person who gave her no, but made her realize that she had to change herself completely.
If Gu You hadn't pointed out her true identity and pointed out a new path for her, she, Zhu Zhuqing, would probably continue to obtain soul rings according to the family's arrangement and continue to fight a life-and-death struggle with her own sister.
After leaving the dark place of the soul beast forest, Zhu Zhuqing found that the already extremely low induction between her and the runaway fiancé had completely disappeared, and the attraction in the dark could not be felt at all.
Her father asked her why she didn't hunt soul beasts according to the family's arrangement. For some reason, in an instant, Zhu Zhuqing's mind flashed the scene of Gu You and herself talking by the campfire, and the scene of everyone working together to fight against the fallen.
For some reason, Zhu Zhuqing said, "Because a fallen person suddenly appeared in the soul beast forest, in order to gain the ability to protect myself, I had to kill a soul beast of the right age to get the soul ring."
Her father Zhu Lanchun accepted it, and it was from this day that the relationship between Zhu Zhuyun and her returned to normal.
Afterwards, Zhu Zhuqing learned the name "Master Guyou". Recalling his eloquent talk by the campfire, it was easy to judge her true identity, her knowledge of soul beasts, and the tactics he arranged when facing powerful fallen people.
In an instant, she realized that the Guyou who talked to her that day was most likely the "Master Guyou" who was very famous in the soul master world now.
Of course, Zhu Zhuqing didn't mean to tell this idea to others. After all, he was the one who pulled her out of the vortex, so what did it mean to sell him out?
In addition, Zhu Zhuqing felt that even if she told others that "Master Guyou" was a child of the same age as her, no one would believe it. Even Zhu Zhuyun, who had the best relationship with her now, would not believe it.
As the only prince of this generation who can resonate with the martial soul of a Zhu family girl and successfully complete the martial soul fusion technique, Davis's position as the crown prince cannot be shaken. Through the relationship between Zhu Zhuyun and Davis, Zhu Zhuqing learned from them that there is no one named "Gu You" of the same age as her in the Xingluo Empire.
Zhu Zhuqing, who originally thought that she would never have the chance to see Gu You again, saw a news item in the newspaper by chance called "The Dragon Snake Family surrendered to the Tiandou Royal Family, and the disciples of the family enrolled in the Tiandou Royal Academy".
Recalling that Meng Yiran's martial soul in the team was the snake staff, Zhu Zhuqing knew where to go to find Gu You.
Not to mention Zhu Zhuyun, even if her father Zhu Lanchun and Xingluo Emperor Charles de Gaulle came, she would go to Tiandou Royal Academy to study.
Unexpectedly, the reason she came up with in a hurry was accepted, which made Zhu Zhuqing overjoyed. Seeing Gu You staring at him in astonishment, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't suppress the joy in her heart, and opened her mouth and said silently: "I found you."
Looking at the black figure on the stage, Gu You was more shocked than Ning Rongrong and Bai Chenxiang.
After Zhu Zhuqing was influenced by him to choose Shadow Lizard as her second soul ring, Gu You once thought about what her future would be like. The worst case scenario is of course that she would be killed by Dai Mubai's father, the current Xingluo Emperor. The best case scenario is that she would join Xingluo Royal Academy and become his opponent on the road to winning the championship.
Even the possibility of going to a small village near Soto City to find Dai Mubai like in the original book, Gu You also thought about this possibility.
But no matter what kind of future, Gu You never thought that Zhu Zhuqing would come to Tiandou Royal Academy to study, let alone meet her at this banquet.
Looking at the face on the stage that had changed greatly but had familiar features, and recalling the letter attached by Xue Qinghe saying that the banquet was for nobles, teachers in the academy and outstanding students, Gu You finally understood.
'So the purpose of this banquet is to introduce Zhu Zhuqing to study abroad? ’
Emperor Xue Ye spoke a lot on the stage. Gu You could not remember what he said specifically. The general idea was: Zhu Zhuqing's coming to study abroad symbolizes the excellence of Tiandou Royal Academy, her willingness to choose us symbolizes the indestructible friendship between Tiandou and Xingluo, etc.
He spoke for about half an hour. Xue Qinghe and Prince Xue Xing, who were standing beside him, were laughing so hard that their muscles on their faces were almost stiff. Xue Beng had disappeared early in the morning. Emperor Xue Ye ended his speech with a sense of regret.
After stepping down, Emperor Xue Ye felt a little uncomfortable. He silently sighed that he was getting old. He said to Xue Qinghe: "Qinghe, entertaining the second lady of the Zhu family is up to you. Remember, you must make her like our Tiandou, understand?"
Xue Qinghe hurriedly bowed his head and replied: "Yes, father. I will definitely entertain her well."
Emperor Xue Ye nodded with satisfaction, looked around, and found that Xue Beng was not there. He sighed and turned away.
After Emperor Xue Ye left, Xue Qinghe raised his head to greet Zhu Zhuqing and introduce her to the nobles present, but found that Zhu Zhuqing had disappeared.
After stepping down from the stage, Zhu Zhuqing left directly and walked towards where Gu You was. The nobles in the audience saw the second lady of the Zhu family and wanted to go up and talk to her, but they were all forced back by the cold aura of Zhu Zhuqing.
"Long time no see."
Seeing Gu You and Tang San, the coldness on Zhu Zhuqing's face disappeared instantly, revealing a spring-like smile.
Tang San nodded and greeted him, and Gu You asked curiously: "Why didn't you go to Xingluo Royal Academy to study?"
Zhu Zhuqing smiled and stretched out her index finger, placed it in front of her rosy lips, and said word by word: "This is a secret."
It is undeniable that this action is very lethal. Not only were the onlookers "injured", but even Zhu Zhuqing herself was frightened by her own action. She blushed and adjusted her dress and explained: "The reason is complicated, and I am not convenient to tell you."
Gu You nodded and accepted Zhu Zhuqing's explanation. If the reason was not complicated, Zhu Zhuqing would not have left the familiar Xingluo City and traveled thousands of miles to Tiandou City, where she was unfamiliar with everyone.
Tang San glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who was a little flustered, and then looked at Gu You who nodded seriously. Gu You could not understand lip language, but Tang San could. He clearly saw Zhu Zhuqing on the stage looking at the corner where he and Gu You were, and Tang San also saw the words "I found you" clearly.
In his heart, he silently raised his guard against Zhu Zhuqing. He still remembered that Gu You had said that the competition for the throne of Xingluo Empire was very bloody and cruel. Tang San asked: "How are you in Xingluo?"
Zhu Zhuqing smiled, and there was no haze in her smile: "I am living very well now, and I really thank you."
Zhu Zhuqing stretched out her hand, "You should also be students of Tiandou Royal Academy. In the future, please give me more advice."
——————————————————
ps1: Please don't say that Zhu Zhuqing suddenly seems to be abnormal because of love brain. This problem will be explained in the future, but it will be very later.
ps2: Others have reactions but the protagonist does not react not because his body is abnormal, but because he is too normal. No normal person will have feelings for a 12-year-old, no matter how good the figure is, it's not a tiger. The protagonist is only twelve, and no one will urge him to get married.
ps3: I forgot to mention in the last chapter that the performance of Bai Chenxiang in this book is different from that in the original book because she joined the Qibao Liuli Sect with the Min family. There are two Title Douluo-level masters, plus the genius Ning Rongrong, so the arrogance that first appeared in the original book was nipped in the bud.
Suddenly I found a book friend from Malaysia in the book review. Thank you very much for your support. You can give me rewards at will. I am happy enough if you subscribe. By the way, is this called going abroad? (laugh). Please recommend and monthly votes~~~
