Chapter 69: Little Kitten Girl Zhu Zhuqing Kissed Tang San, Little Fox Hu Liena Really Arrived
Feeling the gentle touch of Zhu Zhuqing's soft hand on his neck, Tang San shook his head and smiled. "Of course not, I'm not that weak. So, why don't you tell me what's on your mind? Knowing Dai Mubai's true nature, why haven't you broken off ties with him, instead letting him harass you?"
Tang San knew part of the answer but craved details the original novel omitted—Dai Mubai's family dynamics, his rivalry with Davis, and the Star Luo Emperor's power. Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip, placing her hand on Tang San's shoulder, her voice tinged with sadness.
"You saw through it, Tang San. You may not be strong, but you're clever. Without your tactics, we wouldn't have lasted against Zhao Wuji. But I can't tell you the real reason—it'd only harm you. I shouldn't betray Dai Mubai, despite his actions. It's my destiny…"
Zhu Zhuqing turned, gazing at the full moon, her body trembling as she clenched her fists.
"Your destiny? Why?" Tang San asked, feigning surprise. "Even if you're engaged, Dai Mubai's behavior gives you grounds to annul it by telling your parents. Why bother?"
"Annulling an engagement… isn't that easy," Zhu Zhuqing sighed. "It's my fate, and my family's. Freedom comes at a great cost…"
Seeing her sad profile and voluptuous figure, Tang San felt a pang of empathy. "If there's a way, even a costly one, it's worth it."
"Not worth it?" Zhu Zhuqing turned, her eyes serious. "Will you help me escape, Tang San? Even if it means facing a vast army, enemies you can't defeat?"
"Uh… well," Tang San scratched his head. "Of course I will. I'm just a Blue Silver Grass support spirit master now, but once I master my abilities, I'll make you powerful, and I'll grow stronger too…"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flickered with sadness, unsatisfied. Tang San anticipated this, unwilling to reveal his true power. He wanted to see if she'd abandon her imperial status for an ordinary boy like him. He couldn't admit his backing—Clear Sky Douluo, Sea God Douluo, Spirit Hall's High Priest, and his Saiyan body. That'd be like a rich kid showing his wealth, obscuring whether she loved him or his power.
Zhu Zhuqing gazed at the moon, then sat on the grass. Tang San dusted his clothes and joined her, sensing her disappointment. After a long silence, she whispered, "You and Xiao Wu are commoner spirit masters, right?"
"Hmm…" Tang San nodded. "My father was a blacksmith, my mother died after I was born. Xiao Wu lost her mother early too, so we became sworn siblings in junior college."
"I see…" Zhu Zhuqing stole a glance, then leaned against him, her voluptuous body resting on his shoulder.
Tang San startled, about to move, when Zhu Zhuqing's arm wrapped around his waist. "Don't move, Tang San…" she whispered.
He froze, inexperienced despite his slight age advantage. Zhu Zhuqing's mature presence overwhelmed him. "No way, what does she want?" he thought, inhaling her scent as her grip tightened.
"You attract me, Tang San. Your freedom, your spirit, your strength… they're beyond my reach," Zhu Zhuqing sighed. "If I were a commoner spirit master, I could choose my destiny, unlike now…"
Biting her lip, she closed her eyes, leaning comfortably against him. Tang San, embarrassed, could only savor her fragrance. As dawn neared, Zhu Zhuqing reluctantly let go, adjusting her hair with a complex look. "I should go, Tang San… What happened tonight, what we said, must stay secret… Especially…"
She didn't say Dai Mubai's name, her face flushing with shame, feeling like a thief. She liked Tang San but wasn't ready to abandon everything. He couldn't free her from her fate.
"Okay, I understand. No one will know," Tang San nodded calmly, guessing her thoughts.
"Thank you, Tang San…" Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lingered on him. Standing, she suddenly leaned forward, kissing his left cheek before vanishing into the night.
The kiss was fleeting. Tang San touched his cheek, savoring her lingering milky scent. "Zhu Zhuqing's first kiss, offered freely…" He stood, leaving the mountain.
Instead of returning to the academy, Tang San practiced Divine Shadow Steps and Divine Eye in the woods. Zhu Zhuqing, slipping back to her dormitory, closed the door, heart racing. Stroking her belly, she sat exhausted, reflecting on the kiss. "Engaged to Dai Mubai, yet I fell for an ordinary boy with no background… He can't free me from the Dai family. What do I do?"
She planned to keep their connection secret, unsure of the future.
By morning, Tang San returned to Shrek Academy's village, intending to explore. Spotting Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong outside a farmyard, confronting a chubby red-haired man and a plain-clothed girl, he recognized Ma Hongjun and Cuihua. Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda glowed, ready to support Xiao Wu.
"They must've come to my hut and, finding me gone, stumbled on this," Tang San thought, quickening his pace to help.
But then, his Divine Eye caught an unfamiliar aura approaching—a female spirit master, level 43, with a bewildering, dizzying power. "Hu Liena, with her fox spirit? She found me so fast…"
Dodging into a corner, Tang San observed a delicate girl with short flaxen hair, fox ears, and a captivating figure in a yellow gauze dress. She scanned the area, nearing the courtyard with Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Ma Hongjun.
"It's really Hu Liena… a stunning short-haired beauty," Tang San admired. "She's here for me. Best to stay hidden. Maybe she'll deal with Ma Hongjun for Xiao Wu…"
...
Tang San's plan to lure Bibi Dong using Yu Xiaogang was unfolding, but Zhu Zhuqing's kiss and Hu Liena's arrival added new layers. As he watched Hu Liena approach, he sensed the Shura Field intensifying. Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong were already clashing with Ma Hongjun, and Hu Liena's presence could escalate things further.
From the shadows, Tang Hao observed, his Clear Sky Hammer ready. "Xiao San's entangled with too many girls… and Spirit Hall's here. I need to know what he's hiding."
Hu Liena, pausing near the courtyard, sensed Tang San's presence but couldn't pinpoint him. Her lips curled. "Hiding, little brother? I'll find you, and when Bibi Dong arrives, you'll be ours."
Tang San, calculating his next move, prepared to manipulate the chaos. His vision of giving Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue a "warm home" while orchestrating Yu Xiaogang's demise was at a critical juncture. With Zhu Zhuqing's feelings deepening and Hu Liena closing in, the stakes were higher than ever.
