Chapter 88: Playboys, Dai Mubai
This boy was very considerate, knowing to remind her to drink more hot water.
This small act made Zhu Zhuqing's fondness for Ye Wen grow immensely.
"Thank you." Zhu Zhuqing took the cup of water, sipping it slowly, her sensual lips taking one sip at a time.
"Actually, I've always had a question, something I've been curious about." Ye Wen suddenly spoke.
"Go ahead."
"It's about a soul master's physical condition—does it become stronger with every level increase? Do even powerful female soul masters, like those who reach the Soul Sage rank, feel pain during... that time of the month?"
Ye Wen was genuinely curious about this question. He had never asked before because he couldn't imagine how someone like Bibi Dong, a terrifying 99th-level Limit Douluo, would handle such pain if she went through it.
He couldn't picture the sight of Bibi Dong experiencing menstrual cramps.
Seeing the genuine curiosity in Ye Wen's eyes, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but find it amusing. For the first time, she showed a genuine smile, covering her mouth as she laughed softly, "Heh heh~"
Though the question was a sensitive one for girls, Zhu Zhuqing still answered, "Actually, as a soul master's cultivation and level increase, the pain gradually lessens."
"Generally, by the time a soul master reaches the Soul King rank, the pain will completely disappear, though it will still exist in some form," she added, her face turning slightly red.
"Oh, I see!" Ye Wen nodded seriously, listening intently.
Zhu Zhuqing never expected that one day she would discuss such topics with a boy, and it left her bewildered. She felt like she could be open with Ye Wen, as though she could truly talk about anything with him.
The night was getting boring, so Ye Wen casually chatted with Zhu Zhuqing for a while. Before they knew it, one or two hours had passed.
Though Zhu Zhuqing had always been a quiet person, today she ended up talking more than she had in months.
Their relationship had certainly warmed up, and the awkwardness had lessened. They could now be considered friends.
Ye Wen looked up at the night sky and noticed it was getting late. He stood up and said, "Alright, it's getting late. We should sleep soon. Tomorrow morning, we'll head to Soto City."
"Mm!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded and headed into the tent.
Ye Wen, on the other hand, went into the same tent as Xie Hu.
The three of them spent the night in their makeshift camp.
Originally, Ye Wen and Xie Hu would have arrived in Soto City before Tang San and Xiao Wu, but because of Zhu Zhuqing's situation, Tang San and Xiao Wu had arrived in Soto City first.
The timeline in Soto City had already shifted subtly, but it didn't affect the encounter between Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dai Mubai when they first arrived in Soto City.
It was still the same familiar scene. Tang San and Xiao Wu found a hotel called the Rose Hotel, where they decided to stay the night before heading to Shrek Academy the next day.
Upon entering the hotel lobby, they ran into Dai Mubai.
However, things were different this time. When Tang San and Xiao Wu arrived to book a room, Dai Mubai had already finished his fun with two women and was leaving the hotel with them in tow.
There was no fight for the last room, just a brief exchange of glances. Dai Mubai embraced the two women and left.
"Young Master Dai~ Did we serve you well today?"
The two women clung to Dai Mubai's arms, speaking in a flirtatious tone.
"Ha ha! You two little treasures, of course, I'm very satisfied." Dai Mubai smiled faintly, holding the two sexy women.
He reminisced about the earlier events and, thinking of it, his arm tightened, pulling the two women closer to his chest.
"Hey, Young Master Dai, what are you doing? You're hurting us!"
"Haha! I love how delicate you two are. Tomorrow night, after I finish my business, I'll come back for you, my two little treasures," Dai Mubai said with a mischievous grin.
"Stop it~"
"Ha ha!"
The three of them continued their playful banter as they slowly left the Rose Hotel.
The next morning, Tang San and Xiao Wu woke up early to head to Shrek Academy to sign up.
Meanwhile, Ye Wen, Xie Hu, and Zhu Zhuqing, who were camping outside, had only Zhu Zhuqing wake up early, ready to depart.
However, Ye Wen and Xie Hu were still fast asleep in their tent.
Of course, since they no longer had to go to school or work, they were in no rush to wake up. After all, waking up naturally was far more enjoyable!
Zhu Zhuqing expected that by around 8 AM, Ye Wen and Xie Hu would be awake, but she underestimated their ability to sleep in. They slept until nearly 10 AM, almost noon!
Zhu Zhuqing, waiting with nothing to do, realized that by the time they reached Soto City, it would be late in the afternoon, and it would be too late to visit Shrek Academy.
"Ugh, these two guys sure can sleep." Zhu Zhuqing sighed and, after thinking for a moment, decided to wake them up.
She moved her hips, walking silently, almost like a cat, and approached Ye Wen's tent. She called out, "It's already past 10! Shouldn't you two be waking up by now?"
When there was no response, she raised her voice and shouted again, "Hey! Get up!"
"Hmm?" Ye Wen groggily woke up, noticing that Xie Hu's head was lying on his arm, drooling on him. "Move over."
Smack!
Ye Wen slapped Xie Hu awake and shouted toward the direction of Zhu Zhuqing's voice, "Yeah, yeah, wait a second."
"Xie Hu, get up!"
"Okay, okay," Xie Hu replied.
The two quickly packed their things and stepped out of the tent. Ye Wen, yawning and fixing his messy hair, said, "Been waiting long?"
"No problem," Zhu Zhuqing shook her head.
"Good, let's get ready and head out."
"Mm."
After a night's rest, Zhu Zhuqing's period pain had decreased significantly, with only mild discomfort, which no longer affected her movements.
The three quickly packed up and headed toward Soto City.
On the way, they walked at a leisurely pace, chatting occasionally. Zhu Zhuqing, not particularly fond of talking, mostly followed quietly, only speaking a few words here and there.
By around 5 PM, they finally arrived in Soto City.
At this time, it was impossible to visit Shrek Academy. Since it was already dark, and the academy only accepted new students during the day, they decided to find a hotel in Soto City and stay the night.
At dinner time, the three of them went to a restaurant for a meal.
