Douluo Continent: A Review of Bibi Dong, the Worst Pope in History

Chapter 100 The Tragic Zhu Zhuqing, Assassinated Since Childhood
"Become stronger!"

"I want to be stronger!"

Zhu Zhuqing had only one thought in her mind.

That is, diligence can make up for lack of talent, and striving to become a strong person in one's own right.

She needs to be strong enough to control her own destiny.

Zhu Zhuqing had had enough of the feeling of being weak.

[Commentary on Zhu Zhuqing!]

[The most hardworking noble lady!]

Zhu Zhuqing yearns for great power.

Just then, the sky screen welcomed a new round of commentary.

Watching yourself become the target of the review.

Zhu Zhuqing felt both excited and apprehensive.

Zhu Zhuqing prayed silently that her score wouldn't be negative.

Although Zhu Zhuqing longed to receive the Heavenly Reward and thus become stronger.

However, she hoped she wouldn't have a negative score.

Zhu Zhuqing dared not have too high expectations for herself.

She was self-aware that her talent was not particularly outstanding.

In an era teeming with talent, she was far behind those geniuses.

Only through persistent efforts can she narrow the gap.

"Zhuqing, it seems your efforts have been recognized!"

Zhao Wuji laughed heartily.

Judging from the title alone, Zhu Zhuqing's evaluation is not a negative one.

Tianmu acknowledged Zhu Zhuqing's efforts.

This suggests that Zhu Zhuqing should be able to receive a reward from the heavens.

As a mentor at Shrek Academy, Zhao Wuji also acknowledged Zhu Zhuqing's efforts.

Compared to others, Zhu Zhuqing was usually quiet and reserved, spending most of her time diligently cultivating.

As a noble lady, this kind of temperament and perseverance is truly commendable.

It should be noted that other noblemen's sons and daughters are more interested in eating, drinking, and enjoying themselves.

Otherwise, it's just causing trouble and indulging in excesses.

Upon hearing Zhao Wuji's words, Zhu Zhuqing smiled sweetly.

If her efforts are rewarded, that would be wonderful.

My name is Zhu Zhuqing, and I was born into the most powerful noble family in the Star Luo Empire.

Although I was born into a life of luxury, I was not happy.

Because none of the Zhu family's children have the right to choose their own lives.

The Zhu family reached an agreement with the Xingluo royal family that every female descendant must marry into the Xingluo royal family.

This is the price the Zhu family had to pay for their prosperity!

[Sacrificing their daughter to gain the attention of the Star Luo royal family, thereby consolidating the family's unshakeable position.]

At the age of six, I successfully awakened my martial soul, the Netherworld Cat, a unique martial soul of the Zhu family bloodline, which complements the Netherworld White Tiger of the Star Luo royal family.

As soon as news of my awakening of my martial spirit spread, the emperor arranged a marriage for me with a prince named Dai Mubai.

[The Zhu family's daughter, who has awakened the Netherworld Cat, is seen by the Star Luo royal family as the wife who best suits their desired interests.]

I deeply resist the marriage arranged by the Emperor of Xingluo.

I have never met Dai Mubai, and I have absolutely no liking for him, let alone any romantic feelings for him.

I don't want my life to be controlled by others.

I objected, trying to get the family to annul the engagement. But the family didn't agree, and even my usually mild-mannered father was furious at my absurd idea.

My father told me that daughters of the Zhu family were born to serve the royal family.

Only in this way can the Zhu family forever retain its title as the most powerful noble family in Xingluo.

I am extremely disappointed!

Since my family is unwilling to annul this engagement, I will have to rely on my own efforts to achieve the life I want.

In the Douluo Continent, strength reigns supreme. As long as one is powerful enough, one can do whatever one wants.

Having set a goal in mind, I began to cultivate myself diligently.

I will never give up!

It was also at this time that I survived my first assassination attempt.

This assassination attempt almost cost me my life!

Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough, and with the help of my family, I managed to escape danger.

I have never provoked anyone. In the vast Star Luo Empire, there is only one person who wants me dead, and that is my own sister, Zhu Zhuyun.

Although I don't want to think this way, I know it's the truth.

If there were no engagement between Dai Mubai and me, Zhu Zhuyun and I could still love each other as much as before.

Zhu Zhuyun wanted to kill me because of the cruel rules of the Star Luo royal family.

[In the Star Luo royal family, every generation of princes must fight each other. As Davis's fiancée, Zhu Zhuyun naturally stands with Davis to deal with Dai Mubai, who is also a prince.]

As Dai Mubai's fiancée, I became a thorn in Zhu Zhuyun's side, a nail in her flesh. Therefore, she orchestrated the first assassination attempt, wanting to get rid of me as soon as possible.

I am heartbroken. I don't want to face my own sister in a life-or-death struggle, nor do I want to marry a stranger.

I know that only by annulling this engagement can everyone be happy.

Therefore, I became even more determined to achieve my goal.

As I've grown older, my soul power, while far surpassing that of ordinary soul masters, has fallen far short of my expectations.

During this period, I survived several more assassination attempts.

Although I managed to escape unscathed each time.

But Zhu Zhuyun's actions made me begin to feel disgusted with her.

We are born of the same root, why must we fight each other so bitterly? We are sisters, must we really be so cruel to each other?

Later, I learned that Dai Mubai, having lost a competition, had fled the Star Luo Empire like a coward.

Now, my situation is even more dangerous!

To ensure my safety, I've decided to leave the Zhu family and go to Shrek Academy to find Dai Mubai, so he can accompany me to annul the engagement.

Not long after leaving the Zhu family, new assassins appeared.

This assassin nearly drove me to the brink of despair.

I was hunted to the Star Dou Great Forest, and only managed to escape after countless brushes with death.

[Only after arriving in Soto City of the Heavenly Dou Empire did I finally escape Zhu Zhuyun's clutches.]

[Within the Heavenly Dou Empire's territory, Zhu Zhuyun no longer has the ability to assassinate me.]

On the day of Shrek Academy's new student registration, I met Dai Mubai. I had a match with him, and if I won, he would have to go with me to see the Star Luo Emperor to cancel the engagement.

I'm giving it my all to defeat Dai Mubai.

But in the end, I still lost!
Dai Mubai's soul power far surpasses mine; I am no match for him.

I stayed at Shrek Academy, pursuing the path to becoming stronger.

I believe that one day, my hard work will be rewarded.

After joining Shrek Academy, I realized that this place was far more complex than I had imagined.

[The members of the same cohort all possess extraordinary qualities, fully deserving of the nickname "little monster."]

[Among them, a young man named Tang San particularly broadened my horizons.]
