Douluo: I'll take the benefits, you bear the side effects

Chapter 54 Looking up at the stars
At the same time, Tang San almost hated the Dragon Snake Family to death.

Meng Yiran and the snake lady caused him to lose the Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Snake, which led to his embarrassment in front of Xiao Wu.

To attack him when he is having diarrhea is simply to seek death.

And Ning Chuan actually brought the snake lady to his side, which is an unforgivable crime.

By the time Tang San returned to the camp, the simple shelter had been built.

There is one room each for men and women.

It was Ma Hongjun's turn to keep watch.

Also, although Tang San's body was washed clean, Ning Chuan couldn't help but think of the scene of the other party spraying wantonly because he was with him.

So he rarely continued to practice, because his goal of intercepting the Eight Spider Lance had been achieved anyway.

He stood up and walked out of the shelter. After saying hello to Ma Hongjun, Ning Chuan left the camp under the other's meaningful gaze and walked towards the outer area, intending to get some fresh air.

The night in the Star Dou Great Forest was quiet and cool, which calmed Ningchuan's mood. This was what he had originally imagined, but the reality was not so. The roaring wind whistled past, and just the rustling sound of leaves made Ningchuan frown.

Could it be that a soul beast is attacking?

Ningchuan looked around vigilantly and saw a vague figure among the woods.

There was a woman with long hair standing among the trees.

The unrealistic scene made Ningchuan have the illusion of seeing an elf.

Under the soft moonlight, her snow-white skin shimmered, and whenever the breeze blew, her long hair fluttered. The elf-like girl bathed in the moonlight, her face filled with indescribable melancholy and sadness, like a helpless elf lost in the jungle.

"who is it?"

Noticing the footsteps, Zhu Zhuqing spoke in her normal voice. Possessing the Netherworld Spirit Cat martial spirit, she not only had eyesight far superior to that of ordinary people, but also had an equally keen hearing. She could tell that this was not the sound of a soul beast.

"it's me!"

"Who are you?" Zhu Zhuqing asked with her head tilted.

"Why do you ask twice? After all, we have known each other for a while." Ning Chuan was speechless. He didn't expect that the usually cold little cat could also have a dark side.

But perhaps, this is her truest self.

Zhu Zhuqing said "Oh" and looked away. She looked up at the night sky, and Ning Chuan also looked up. The sky was full of stars today.

"Are you out here to look at the stars?"

Ning Chuan had a rough guess in his mind. After all, he was the culprit who caused Dai Mubai to become such a horrible state, but he still asked despite knowing the answer.

But then again, the stars appear brighter in places with less light pollution, so the starry sky of the Star Forest can be said to be the most spectacular.

It’s as if the Milky Way in the sky is right within reach.

"That's not the case!" Zhu Zhuqing sighed with a hint of melancholy, "Dai Mubai and I are engaged."

She hung her head dejectedly.

Ning Chuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhu Zhuqing to confess to him so quickly.

"I came to Shrek Academy this time just to find him."

"Then Dai Mubai became a playboy, not knowing how to cultivate, and was obsessed with women all day. Are you very disappointed with him? So you were so bored that you ran out to get some fresh air?"

Ning Chuan didn't show any surprise. "That's right, I didn't expect him to become like this."

When Zhu Zhuqing said this, she lowered her head and kicked the gravel at her feet.

"You are very outstanding and will have a bright future. Even becoming a Titled Douluo is very likely to happen. In short, compared to me, Xiao Wu is more suitable for you."

"Why do you think so?" Ning Chuan frowned.

"Xiao Wu likes you, I can see it."

So that's why! Ning Chuan suddenly realized and said without hesitation: "But I don't like Xiao Wu. I don't have that kind of feelings for her. You should be able to see that."

Even now, he has not given up the idea of ​​obtaining Xiao Wu's spirit ring and spirit bone.

Ningchuan is a greedy and selfish person.

Whether it was Xiao Wu's spirit ring, spirit bone, or Zhu Zhuqing, he wanted them all.

Zhu Zhuqing smoothed her hair and changed the subject, "It's getting late, go to bed early. Tomorrow we have to go deep into the more dangerous areas of the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain spirit rings for Tang San."

As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing wanted to walk towards the camp, but Ning Chuan's next words made her stop in her tracks. "Dai Mubai, the prince of the Xingluo Empire, has been betrothed to you since childhood because the Dai family's White Tiger spirit and the Zhu family's Netherworld Spirit Cat spirit can perform a spirit fusion technique - the Netherworld White Tiger."

Zhu Zhuqing looked a little lonely, turned around and looked at Ning Chuan and said, "When did you know?"

"Just now." Ning Chuan said nonsense seriously, "The White Tiger is the inherited martial spirit of the Xingluo Empire's royal family, and the Nether Spirit Cat is the inherited martial spirit of the Zhu family of the Nether Duke's Mansion in the Xingluo Empire. I didn't think of this at first, but you just told me that you and Dai Mubai have been engaged since childhood, and brothel frequenters like Dai Mubai are not your type. It's hard not to think of your disgusting system of selecting the crown prince."

"You're as smart as ever." Zhu Zhuqing said this, lowering her head and kicking the gravel at her feet. "I think you should know why it's impossible for us to be together."

"Yeah, but so what?"

Ning Chuan never took the threat from the Xing Luo Empire seriously.

By the time they found out, he was already able to protect himself.

Now the key is the kitten's decision.

"You may not know what that means yet." Zhu Zhuqing was evasive, and the words she was about to say were drowned out by the sound of the woods.

Then there was silence.

The silence lasted only a moment, and Ning Chuan spoke:

"If it's a pursuit from the Xingluo Empire, then you don't have to."

Zhu Zhuqing seemed to know what Ning Chuan was going to say next and interrupted him, "Okay, it's getting late, go back and get some rest."

As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing continued walking towards the camp.

She walked with heavy steps, adjusting her hair that was messed up by the breeze, and paced back and forth melancholy, as if she couldn't decide whether to go back to the camp or stay.

Her appearance was completely different from her usual heroic and cold demeanor. She walked very slowly, and Ning Chuan took two steps at a time and three steps and caught up with her directly.

He said something that surprised the kitten:
"In fact, as early as the second day after joining Shrek Academy, I knew it was just a fake academy with nothing but a facade."

"Without a simulated environment, the teaching quality is also poor. The curriculum is merely for students to participate in spirit fighting competitions. They deceive the world and steal the reputation, only recruiting some gifted and talented spirit masters. If they succeed, it is all the credit of Shrek Academy. If they fail, they are just useless."
