Chapter 175. You Can't Betray Him.
"Hehehe, maybe he feels he shouldn't drastically change the future he's already set. Or maybe he thinks, by the time you come to him three years from now to repent and reform, and he's already reformed and earned your forgiveness, it won't be too late. You've already forgiven him once, so why not forgive him again?" The black-robed figure analyzed Dai Mubai's thoughts.
"Will I forgive him again?" Zhu Zhuqing recalled the words she had said to Dai Mubai in the rebirth video: If you betray me again, I will kill you and then commit suicide. Although these words weren't spoken by her current self, Dai Mubai had indeed betrayed her once again.
"Impossible, I won't forgive him." Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flashed with determination.
"That's not necessarily true," the black-robed figure said. "You won't betray him. No matter how bad your relationship is now, one day you'll be together. That's fate."
"Why?" Zhu Zhuqing asked, puzzled.
"Let's not even mention that Dai Mubai has betrayed you twice. Just take the first time, when he abandoned you in the Xingluo Empire and ran off on his own, living a life of debauchery. Do you consider such behavior forgivable?" the black-robed figure asked.
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head. She had seen Dai Mubai's previous life, a life of debauchery. You ran away, not hiding away to cultivate, but instead connecting with your family and spending the Xingluo Empire's money. Does that count as running away? Spending money is fine, considering it a better place to cultivate, but what are you doing? A life of debauchery, a life of pleasure, a life of women. Are you worthy of me?
Zhu Zhuqing asked herself. Even if this was just the first time Dai Mubai had committed this mistake, she would never have forgiven him.
"But you finally forgave him," the black-robed figure said.
Zhu Zhuqing fell into deep thought. Yes, why did she finally forgive Dai Mubai?
"Can you tell me why?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
"Because of your spirit," the black-robed figure said. "You and Dai Mubai have established a spirit fusion. As long as this spirit fusion persists, you will never betray Dai Mubai."
"Then why could he betray me?" Zhu Zhuqing said angrily.
"Soul fusions can take two forms. One is an equal relationship, where your spirit and his are equal, and neither can betray the other. The other is a master-servant relationship, where the servant can never betray the master. The Nether White Tiger is primarily a White Tiger spirit, supplemented by your Nether Spirit Cat spirit. Dai Mubai can betray you, but no matter how he betrays you, no matter how deep your resentment, in the end, you will choose to forgive him. Believe me!"
"He can betray me, but I will definitely forgive him in the end?" Zhu Zhuqing murmured.
"Think about it carefully. Throughout the Xingluo imperial family, every empress has been loyal. But are all White Tiger monarchs loyal?" the black-robed figure said.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly recalled that the women from her own Zhu family who had married into the Dai family were utterly devoted to the Zhu family. However, not every member of the Dai family remained loyal to the Zhu family for generations. There were even some who were even more outrageous and ridiculous than herself. A certain generation of White Tiger Emperor was so licentious that he forced his maids to wear crotchless pants to facilitate his sexual activity and even drove in front of the Empress. In the end, didn't the Empress forgive him?
Will I forgive him in the end? Will I forgive him in the end? Will I forgive him in the end?
Initially, Zhu Zhuqing didn't believe it, but after the black-robed man's explanation and her own thoughts, she came to accept it.
Was it destined that I would forgive him, just because of our spirit fusion?
With a flash of cold light, Zhu Zhuqing's cat claws appeared, and a flicker of determination crossed her eyes.
"If this is fate, then I don't want this life. You abandoned me, and I abandoned you. Now you live a life of drunkenness and debauchery, but one day you will face your fate. Then, you will taste the threat of facing your brother, sister, and the others alone."
With that, Zhu Zhuqing stabbed herself in the throat.
A wave of soul power seized her.
"Why did you stop me?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
"You're only nine. Why are you trying to commit suicide? Even if you forgive Dai Mubai, what's the big deal? Following the trajectory in Dai Mubai's memory, you can at least become a god of speed," the black-robed man said.
"God of Speed? If the price of this godhood is facing this shameless man forever, then I'd rather not have it," Zhu Zhuqing said resolutely.
"Alright, you don't even want the godhood. Okay, I admire you. You can die if you want, but you have to pay me first," the black-robed man said.
"What's the price?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
He pulled off the brim of his hat, revealing a handsome face and pale hair. His deep blue eyes turned to Zhu Zhuqing.
"You are..."
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Qian Xunji, the Pope of the Spirit Hall," Qian Xunji said.
"Qian Xunji?" Zhu Zhuqing murmured, then recalled the memories of Dai Mubai before his rebirth that Qian Xunji had shown her, and was immediately shocked.
Before Dai Mubai's rebirth, the Pope was Bibi Dong, and Qian Xunji had long been killed by Bibi Dong.
"Surprised, right, Zhu Zhuqing? That's right, the future has changed. I've lived to this day, and your choice is correct. If you're still like Dai Mubai, thinking that you can follow the memories of your past life and become a god step by step, then you're totally wrong. With me here, Shrek has no chance." Qian Xunji said with a wicked smile.
Zhu Zhuqing looked down at Dai Mubai, who was full of expectations for the future, and a glint of pity flashed in her eyes.
Dai Mubai thought that he could follow the trajectory of his past life, muddle through, and still become a god, but he didn't know that the future had become so confusing.
"Okay, let's talk about the price first. This emperor needs a maid. Be my maid." Qian Xunji said.
"You said that I can't betray him. Aren't you afraid that I will hand over the secrets of your Spirit Hall to him?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
"That's fine. Deep down, you don't want to forgive him, but the fusion of your spirits has influenced you, subtly forgiving Dai Mubai. But wouldn't it be enough if you just replaced your spirit?"
"Replacing spirits? That's impossible. How could a person's spirit be replaced?" Zhu Zhuqing said in disbelief.
Qian Xunji took out three spirit cards and unfolded them for Zhu Zhuqing to see.
hey were top-tier Agility Attack Spirit cards: Shadow Mist Maiden, Weapon Soul Devouring Dagger, and Beast Soul Shadow Wolf.
"Choose the one you prefer," Qian Xunji said.
