And then there's Gongsun Li.
She looks like a delicate young girl, but she can be extremely cunning when she gets going.
That tattered umbrella appeared and disappeared mysteriously, causing her endless suffering.
"I've remembered this debt!"
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in her heart.
If she weren't currently in dire straits and needed the power of the Haiyue Empire, she would have vowed to tear those two people to pieces.
Hu Liena stood to the side, carefully observing the teacher's expression.
Although she didn't have a good impression of the two men, she was more curious about the Moon Queen she had never met.
"teacher."
Hu Liena spoke softly, trying to divert Bibi Dong's attention.
"What exactly does that Moon Queen look like?"
"To build such a vast empire and command the submission of so many peerless powerhouses, she must have been an extraordinary person, right?"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong withdrew her gaze from the sky.
She straightened her wind-blown clothes, a complex expression on her face.
There was a mixture of resentment and unavoidable apprehension.
"Haiyue..."
Bibi Dong gave a soft snort, her tone tinged with a hint of sourness.
"That woman is indeed no less beautiful or shapely than me."
"Her cultivation method is special, and she exudes a cold and aloof ethereal aura, like the moon hanging in the sky."
At this point, Bibi Dong puffed out her chest, her mature and voluptuous curves fully revealed in the sea breeze.
Although she acknowledged Haizuki's beauty, she absolutely did not consider herself inferior to her.
"However, her charm is just that of plain and simple soup."
"When it comes to a woman's charm, Haiyue may not be able to compare with me."
Bibi Dong reached out and stroked her flawless cheek, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes.
"Although her beauty is captivating, she lacks a certain earthy charm."
"And I..."
Bibi Dong couldn't help but recall the scenes of her time with Qian Yu over the years.
Although she now hates that man intensely, she has to admit that the nourishment and care he gave her day and night have indeed brought about tremendous changes in her.
She used to be beautiful, but she also had a fierce aura that kept strangers at bay.
And now, she is like a perfectly ripe peach.
It's juicy and bursting with juice; you can squeeze it and it'll release its juice.
That mature charm that emanated from within was something that Haiyue, a woman who had spent years in seclusion, could never match.
"How could she possibly understand my current radiant and alluring presence, this mature charm?"
Bibi Dong sneered inwardly.
Just then, a row of black dots suddenly appeared on the distant horizon.
Immediately afterwards, a deep horn sound pierced through the waves and resounded throughout the entire harbor.
A massive fleet is coming, cutting through the waves.
A huge crescent flag hung on the flagship, fluttering in the sea breeze.
"They're here!"
Hu Liena shouted excitedly.
The massive warship slowly approached the shore, its lowered gangplank resembling the tongue of a giant beast.
A figure dressed in tight black clothes leaped lightly from the warship.
The man had an extremely fiery figure, his black leather jacket outlining a breathtaking silhouette, and his face covered by a cold black mask.
As she approached, the familiar scent caused Bibi Dong's pupils to shrink sharply.
"Zhu Zhuqing?!"
Bibi Dong's voice suddenly rose, her face filled with disbelief.
"How could it be you?!"
The newcomer removed his mask, revealing a cool and stunningly beautiful face.
It was Zhu Zhuqing, one of the Shrek Seven Devils, the Netherworld Cat.
But Zhu Zhuqing's demeanor at this moment was completely different from before.
They've lost that Shrek pride, but gained a deep sense of restraint and deference.
She walked up to Bibi Dong, bowed slightly, and performed a standard greeting.
"Your Excellency Bibidon, Miss Huliena."
"I have come on the orders of Her Majesty the Queen to welcome you both aboard the ship."
Zhu Zhuqing's voice was cold and clear, revealing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.
Bibi Dong and Hu Liena exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
"Zhu Zhuqing, aren't you on Seagod Island?"
"You should be with those Shrek little monsters, why are you on the Sea Moon Empire's fleet?"
As Bibi Dong followed Zhu Zhuqing onto the deck, she couldn't help but ask.
This is very unusual.
The Shrek Seven Devils are like brothers, how could Zhu Zhuqing abandon Tang San and the others to come here?
Zhu Zhuqing didn't stop walking, only replying calmly:
Shrek is a thing of the past.
"Right now, I am merely a servant of Her Majesty the Moon."
"Your Majesty the Moon is my master."
These words struck Bibi Dong and Hu Liena like a thunderclap.
servant?!
The Zhu Zhuqing that Yu Xiaogang described as exceptionally talented, proud, and aloof?
That Netherworld Cat that even the Star Luo Prince Dai Mubai tried his best to please but ignored?
She actually willingly became someone else's maid?
Bibi Dong stopped and looked Zhu Zhuqing up and down.
She could tell that Zhu Zhuqing was not being forced when she said those words; rather, it conveyed a sense of heartfelt submission.
This is simply unbelievable.
Hu Liena, who was standing to the side, was even more confused.
She turned deathly pale, as if she had suddenly thought of something extremely terrifying.
She tugged at Bibi Dong's sleeve, her voice trembling:
"teacher..."
Have you thought about this?
"Zhu Zhuqing is the maid of Empress Haiyue..."
"We previously speculated that there was an even more terrifying mastermind behind Queen Haiyue, someone to whom even Queen Haiyue obeyed..."
Hu Liena swallowed hard, her eyes filled with terror.
"Doesn't that mean..."
"Zhu Zhuqing is that person's... maid's maid?"
...
Wuhun City, Hall of Offerings.
The once peaceful space was suddenly rippled with unexpected events.
A lantern emitting a faint blue light was the first to pierce through the void.
Immediately afterwards, a graceful and gentle figure slowly emerged from the center of the ripples.
The newcomer was dressed in a rainbow of orange and sea blue, the hem of her skirt swaying gently with the invisible currents of water in the void.
Two long, slender legs were partially visible, bare feet treading on the void, the red rope tied around the ankles making the skin appear even more radiant and fair.
She had long, smooth hair, with delicate copper coin ornaments tied to the braids hanging down on both sides. Her eyebrows were curved, and she already had a smile on her face before she even spoke. It was a gentleness that could encompass everything like the vast ocean.
"Da Qiao greets her master."
As soon as the woman appeared, her gentle eyes locked onto Qianyu in front of her, and her originally dignified steps instantly became a little lighter.
Ignoring the presence of others in the hall, she walked straight to Qianyu, tiptoed slightly, and wrapped her arms around the man's waist.
Her exquisite face gently pressed against Qianyu's broad chest, letting out a satisfied sigh.
Qianyu lowered her eyes and looked at the clingy "koi" in her arms. Her expression became more affectionate as she reached out and ruffled the top of her soft hair.
