Douluo: Suzaku bathed in fire, I am the master of fire

Chapter 77: Shy Duguyan and envious Zhu Zhuqing

"Besides, the academy he's currently attending is a fake one, without any qualifications, and is located in a small village outside of Soto City."

"That academy is called Shrek Academy. The admission standard is to reach level 20 in soul power by the age of 12, and the graduation requirement is to break through level 40 before the age of 20.

The teaching resources there are quite strong, with three Soul Saints and four Soul Emperors.

Twelve years old and twenty levels, which means that only those with innate spirit power of seven or above can meet the standard, which means they have the same talent as you. Furthermore, spirit rings must be optimally configured. Shrek Academy has been operating for twenty years, enrolling sixty-two students, of whom only fourteen graduated. The school motto is "Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre." The other students who did not graduate either died while hunting for spirit rings or fled after realizing that something was wrong.

"What's more, Shrek Academy has no resources and no simulated environment. It can be said that it relies solely on talent."

"Furthermore, the students are left alone. When they graduate, they hype it up as their achievement. If you can't graduate, it's because you didn't work hard enough."

"A person with the innate seventh-level soul power is a good seedling no matter where he is. They have harmed countless students by training them this way."

"As for saving you, it's because you're kind-hearted and unwilling to give up, which is exactly what I like. Plus, I have a little bit of strength, so I helped you."

"I brought you back because I don't want you to be led astray by Shrek Academy."

After listening to Ye Qiu's explanation, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but feel relieved. It is true that she felt bad when she saw Dai Mubai's debauchery after she found him, but she would still forgive him later. After all, they were engaged. Under the guidance of the martial soul fusion technique, her mentality would slowly turn to Dai Mubai, because the martial soul fusion technique was dominated by the white tiger, and her Nether Spirit Cat was just a bonus to merge into the Nether White Tiger.

Besides, she had no emotional basis for Dai Mubai. All she had was a marriage contract. From childhood to adulthood, they had only met when the marriage contract was made. Moreover, Dai Mubai ran away when she was nine years old. Now that she has recognized Dai Mubai's true face, she only feels disgust towards him.

"Okay, we're here." Ye Qiu said.

"Yeah." Zhu Zhuqing nodded.

Then the three of them entered Dugu Mansion.

"Choose a room for yourself and clean it up." After entering the Dugu Mansion, Dugu Yan acted like a host and asked Zhu Zhuqing to find a room to clean up.

Zhu Zhuqing said nothing, just nodded. After all, this was not her home, and it was good enough that they took her in.

Then Zhu Zhuqing found a room at random and started cleaning.

While Zhu Zhuqing was cleaning the room, Dugu Yan grabbed Ye Qiu's waist.

"Hiss, what are you doing?" Ye Qiu said in a voice transmission while enduring the pain in his waist.

"What am I doing? I was going to ask you what you are doing? Why did you bring her back? If you don't explain clearly today, don't even think about letting me let you go." Dugu Yan said with eyes wide open.

Ye Qiu was dumbfounded. Dugu Yan didn't do this when she was not back. Why did she pinch his kidney as soon as she came back? Could it be that this girl was jealous?
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu began to look at Dugu Yan.

"What...what are you doing?" Dugu Yan felt uncomfortable when Ye Qiu looked at her, and her face began to get hotter.

"Are you jealous?" Ye Qiu teased.

"Nonsense! Who is jealous? How could I be jealous of a little girl!" Dugu Yan retorted.

What a great three-part rebuttal!
Hearing Dugu Yan's words, Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes and said that he was not jealous. The smell of jealousy even reached his face and made his eyes hurt.

"Are you sure?" Ye Qiu raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

"Of course I'm sure. How could I, Dugu Yan, be jealous?" Dugu Yan retorted. Ye Qiu thought to himself, "Tsk tsk, you're just pretending. After all these years, don't I know you?"

How could Ye Qiu not know what Dugu Yan was thinking after being together for four or five years? Don't look at this girl as tough, she is actually very jealous.

"Are you going to tell me or not?" Seeing that Ye Qiu didn't answer, Dugu Yan's hands gradually increased in strength.

"Talk, talk, let go of your hand first." Ye Qiu urged as he felt the pain in his waist.

"Go ahead." Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Dugu Yan loosened her hand and gestured for Ye Qiu to explain.

"Hiss!" Ye Qiu rubbed his kidney. Who did Dugu Yan learn this from? It's so cruel.

"I brought her back because she was being hunted and abandoned by her fiancé. It was so pitiful. She and her fiancé are from Xingluo. You know the rules of Xingluo, raising Gu. You see, she is eleven years old and level twenty-seven. She has a good talent. Although she can't compare with me, she is also a genius. I think it's a pity that such a talent died like that, so I thought of bringing her back to train her." Ye Qiu explained.

"I don't think you want to cultivate her, but you have taken a fancy to her." Dugu Yan narrowed her eyes slightly.

He was of course aware of the rules of the Xingluo Empire, which were very cruel, but she was more inclined to believe that Ye Qiu fell in love with Zhu Zhuqing. After all, she was only eleven years old. What would she be like when she grew up?

"How is that possible? We just met, how could I possibly like her?" Ye Qiu spread his hands. Although he did have this thought, after all, who doesn't like a tolerant person, but it might not be too fake to say that he liked someone just after knowing each other for a short time.

"Hmph! All men are pigs!" Dugu Yan's face was full of disbelief. If a girl likes this kind of thing, she doesn't believe that Ye Qiu doesn't like it.

"If you keep doing this, I'll sue you for defamation." Ye Qiu was speechless. What was going on in Dugu Yan's head? Although he, Ye Qiu, was not a good person, he was not the kind of person who controlled others with his own strength. Feelings develop gradually. How could someone get so carried away after just knowing each other for a few days?

"Forget it." Ye Qiu shook his head. Don't try to reason with an angry woman. He is a magnanimous man.

"What do you mean!" Dugu Yan got angry when she saw Ye Qiu shaking his head. Was he looking down on her?

"It's okay." Ye Qiu pinched Dugu Yan's face. "It's not what you think. Even if you like her, it will be in the future."

Dugu Yan felt Ye Qiu's action and her pretty face turned slightly red. This was not right. Wasn't she questioning Ye Qiu? Ye Qiu actually pinched her face. She didn't even realize what Ye Qiu said next.

"Senior, I'm done." Just as Dugu Yan was blushing, Zhu Zhuqing, who had cleaned up the room, came out and happened to see Ye Qiu pinching Dugu Yan's face.

"Ah!" Dugu Yan reacted after hearing Zhu Zhuqing's voice. There were other people at home, so how could she have forgotten the occasion?

Then Dugu Yan blushed and slapped Ye Qiu's hand away.

"That's not right. This is my home. Why should I be shy?" Dugu Yan reacted after slapping Ye Qiu's hand away.

"Uh..." The scene was a little awkward for a moment. Zhu Zhuqing didn't expect it to be like this.

"Ahem." Ye Qiu coughed twice and said seriously, "You didn't see anything just now, right?"

Hearing Ye Qiu's words, Zhu Zhuqing shook her head repeatedly: "No, I didn't see anything just now."

Are you kidding? What Ye Qiu said was so obvious, how could she possibly say she saw it?

However, Zhu Zhuqing envied Ye Qiu and Dugu Yan in her heart. Why couldn't she meet such people? Her own fiancé... Forget it, let's not mention him, it's unlucky.
