Douluo Continent: Ning Rongrong? Even a dog wouldn't chase her.

But the next second, he was riddled with holes!

The penetrating power of this bone needle is terrifying!

It wasn't over yet. The remaining three, seeing that they couldn't block the bone needles, began to dodge using their speed advantage. Although they couldn't dodge them all, they only suffered minor injuries.

Just as they were about to escape again, their eyes suddenly widened, and they collapsed to the ground, dead.

"Don't think you can get away with it just because you dodged it once. I still have a third soul skill to play," Gu Yi said with a light laugh.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Gu Yi hurriedly turned around and helped Zhu Zhuqing up, only to find that she had already fainted.

"Looks like you're really exhausted." Gu Yi sighed, squatted down, and hugged Zhu Zhuqing tightly.

He then used spatial teleportation several times in succession, his figure constantly moving closer to his carriage.

Soon, Gu Yi carried Zhu Zhuqing back to the carriage.

"Uncle Mo, I'm back. Let's speed things up."

"Hmm? You're back? Great! Let's set off now."

The coachman was initially startled, but then remembered that Gu Yi was a Soul Master, so he was no longer surprised and immediately started driving the carriage.

Inside the car, Gu Yi gently placed Zhu Zhuqing aside. She was simply exhausted, and he could only give her a quick treatment of the wound on her right leg.

What needs to be done now is to get to Shrek Academy as soon as possible. Oscar's recovery sausage can greatly help Zhu Zhuqing. As for now, he can only reluctantly help Zhu Zhuqing treat her leg injury.

Hmm~ So long! So white!

That's right! Only this kind of gauze is clean. Let's bandage her up first.

During this time, Gu Yi was very careful with his movements, afraid of provoking Zhu Zhuqing or causing any misunderstanding.

He knew Zhu Zhuqing's personality very well. If he took advantage of the situation to make a move now, it would definitely disgust her. He could only melt this ice queen's heart step by step until she revealed the tenderness in her heart.

In her previous life, Gu Yi felt very sorry for Zhu Zhuqing. In order to find Dai Mubai, she chased him all the way from the Star Luo Empire to the Heaven Dou Empire. During that time, she was ambushed by her own sister countless times!

Every step was fraught with danger; if she chose the wrong path, death would be her only fate!

As a result, on her first day at Shrek Academy, she saw Dai Mubai happily surrounded by women on either side of him.

When Gu Yi saw this, he was furious. Was Dai Mubai even human?

Cowardly! Incompetent! Lustful!

Even when he recognized Zhu Zhuqing, the girl who had traveled a long way just to see him, he made no comment!

"Since you don't know how to cherish it, then I'll do it," Gu Yi thought to himself.

Compared to Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing was much better, although she was a bit aloof, but

She is actually cold on the outside but warm on the inside, extremely devoted to relationships, and unlike Ning Rongrong, she is not arrogant and willful.

As for appearance and figure, this is quite obvious. Gu Yi prefers watermelon to lychee.

Of course, these are just Gu Yi's thoughts. At present, he still prioritizes increasing favorability.

But all of this has to wait until Zhu Zhu wakes up. For now, let's focus on what we're doing.

Thinking of this, Gu Yi quickened his pace in bandaging and soon finished treating the wound.

"Alright, now let's just wait for you to slowly wake up," Gu Yi muttered to himself.

He then sat down on the other side of the carriage and began to recover the soul power he had just consumed.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for gaining 5% favorability from Zhu Zhuqing. As a reward, the age limit of all your soul rings will be increased by 100 years."

Suddenly, a system notification appeared in Gu Yi's mind.

He was taken aback at first, then glanced helplessly at Zhu Zhuqing, feeling a wave of fear wash over him.

Good heavens! Luckily, he had no evil intentions; this girl was just pretending to faint!

If I had done something like that just now, I probably would have lost another 80% of my favorability rating.

"Adding 100 years to the Soul Ring's duration is such a great reward for just 5%? What would happen if it were 50% or 100%?"

Gu Yi exclaimed inwardly, his anticipation for the rewards growing ever stronger.

For the next while, the carriage was quiet, and things returned to normal.

As the carriage sped along, the group soon arrived at the village where Shrek Academy was located.

Just like in the novel, this place lacks the grandeur and prosperity of Tiandou City, but it possesses a greater sense of tranquility and peace.

Gu Yi's carriage stopped in front of a rather luxurious hotel. He looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was fast asleep beside him, carefully picked her up again, and used his soul skill to leave the carriage.

He carried Zhu Zhuqing to the hotel reception desk.

"Hello, welcome to Rose Hotel. Are you looking to book a room?"

The receptionist glanced at Gu Yi's attire and greeted him warmly.

Rose Inn? That name sounds familiar; Gu Yi feels like he's heard it somewhere before.

But he didn't think much of it and smiled as he said to the front desk, "Please book me two rooms, preferably adjacent ones, as she needs to rest."

Upon hearing this, the receptionist immediately gave her a knowing look.

"I'm sorry, our hotel is very busy today, and we only have one double room left. What do you think..."

"..."

Gu Yi was speechless. He really wasn't that kind of person!

"I can tell at a glance whether your business is good or not. I'm not kidding. Please book two rooms for me."

"I'll pay for the room with this gold card."

As he spoke, Gu Yi used his soul skill again, and the gold card in his pocket appeared out of thin air on the counter.

"Gold...Gold card! Okay! I'll check you in right now!"

Upon seeing the gold card in Gu Yi's hand, the receptionist immediately became nervous.

This is a rare and important client! If she makes a mistake and displeases this gentleman, then her fate will be...

She dared not think any further, and after quickly completing the check-in procedures, she led Gu Yi to the room.

The room was beautifully decorated, with a heart-shaped bed covered in roses.

Gu Yi gently placed Zhu Zhuqing on the bed and thoughtfully covered her with a blanket. Finally, he brought a basin of hot water from the room and carefully wiped her cheeks.

After doing all this, Gu Yicai left satisfied.

But less than three minutes after Gu Yi left, Zhu Zhuqing on the bed slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the basin of water beside her and the huge room, and was deeply moved.

If she hadn't met Gu Yi, she would be dead by now!

Fearing that Gu Yi might also be a lecherous rogue, Zhu Zhuqing pretended to be asleep. In reality, she was slowly recovering her soul power, and she would attack Gu Yi immediately if he dared to make a move.

But he didn't.

Not only did he not care, but he also took great care of her, a complete stranger he had just met. In an instant, a warm current surged through Zhu Zhuqing's wounded heart.

She looked at the treated wound on her right leg and whispered:

"Thank you."

Chapter 4 Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining 15% favorability from Zhu Zhuqing. The host is rewarded with the Ten Thousand Year Left Arm Soul Bone."

"Ding! The soul bone was taken from the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Dark Prison Flame Demon Dragon. Soul Bone Skill: Black Dragon Prison Flame Burst [Releases an energy shock from the left arm, accompanied by demonic flames, ignoring any defensive soul skills.]"

"Ding! The soul bone has successfully fused on its own."

Hearing the notification in his mind, Gu Yi was a little confused. Why did it go up again?

He didn't seem to do anything special just now, he just helped her get a room and wiped her face, and that's another 10% increase?

"Heh! Is this the difference? In just one day, I've gained so much favor with Zhu Zhuqing."

"Ning Rongrong? Even a dog wouldn't lick her!"

In just one day, Gu Yi instantly understood the difference between them.

Original owner... you deserve to die!

The easier it was for other goddesses to gain favor, the darker Ning Rongrong's image became in Gu Yi's mind.

But Gu Yi was too lazy to think about it too much. At this moment, he was more curious about the effects of the soul bone skill.

"Looking at the skill description, it ignores any defensive soul skills. That alone makes it very powerful!"

"Perfect timing. Shrek Academy's admissions should begin in two days. Let's use Zhao Wuji to test this soul bone skill then."

Because of Zhu Zhuqing's problem, Gu Yi arrived a few days earlier than expected, but it was all for the sake of improving his favorability, so it was not a big deal.

But now there is still a problem facing Gu Yi, and that is Ning Rongrong.

According to the original story, this little witch from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will definitely enroll at Shrek Academy later.

Gu Yi felt a headache coming on at the thought of facing this unruly little devil.

"Forget it, we'll see when the time comes. Anyway, I'm not going to give up on Shrek Academy."

"Try to avoid any contact with her then."

After figuring all this out, Gu Yi got up to wash up and then fell into a peaceful sleep.

Having spent the past month resting in a carriage, Gu Yi was finally getting a big bed and naturally wanted to enjoy it to the fullest.

……

The next morning, Gu Yi got up very early, and after washing up, he left the hotel.

Because of the long-term pursuit, Zhu Zhuqing's body is still very weak. Gu Yi wants to go to Shrek Academy. As long as he can find Oscar, all these problems can be solved.

As luck would have it, Gu Yi had just arrived at the entrance of Shrek Academy when he heard a vendor's cry.

"Sausages for sale! Sausages for sale! Take a look!"

"Oscar brand sausages are delicious, sweet, and affordable!"

Gu Yi looked over at the sound and saw a white-haired, white-bearded 'uncle' wearing goggles and with a somewhat thin build selling sausages.
