Douluo: Adventure Begins from Wuhun City

Chapter 178 Zhu Zhuqing's Decision
"boom!"

Before Zhu Zhuqing could come to her senses, the side door of the house was kicked open. Qian Renxue ran out angrily, grabbed Zhu Zhuqing by the collar and scolded her.

"Okay! I told you to get lost, but you still climbed over the wall to get in!"

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Qian Renxue, who was furious and ready to strike with her fist raised. She knew she was in the wrong and did not dodge.

She had made up her mind anyway, so you could beat her or scold her as you like, but it was impossible to let her go!
This is definitely her only chance to change her fate in this life, she must not give up!

"Tap!"

At this moment, Gu Yuena and Chen Yao also went downstairs together and appeared in the courtyard.

Chen Yao looked normal at the moment, but Gu Yuena looked a little gloomy.

Although she didn't know why the master's wife who seemed kind last night was in a bad mood, Zhu Zhuqing only had eyes for Chen Yao. When she saw Chen Yao, her heart was immediately filled with joy. Although because she was not good at laughing, the smile on her face was a little weird and twisted at the moment, but her eyes were full of excitement that could not be concealed.

She immediately broke free from Qian Renxue, who was now completely devoid of soul power, and then bowed to Chen Yao again.

"Hello, teacher, madam!"

Qian Renxue was suddenly thrown away by the extremely weak Zhu Zhuqing. She had not yet recovered from the drastic contrast. After hearing the name from her mouth, she could no longer hold back and stood in front of Zhu Zhuqing with a sinister look.

"You ignorant bastard, you actually broke into the house without permission and are still talking nonsense here!"

Qian Renxue yelled and pretended to fight. Although she was now a prisoner, she couldn't bear to see Chen Yao and Gu Yuena tied together.

However, he was stopped by Chen Yao.

"Okay, don't forget, you are just my maid now, there is no need for you to do so many things, just do your job."

Chen Yao cursed with a smile and patted Qian Renxue's butt hard.

Qian Renxue, who was already sensitive, was struck by lightning. She covered her back with her hands, her cheeks flushed, and she was full of shame. The anger in her heart dissipated a little. Although she was still a little unhappy in her heart, she also knew the current situation. She could only walk into the house with a sense of reluctance and resentment.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at this scene with some confusion in her eyes. You know, in Xingluo City, let alone her family, even ordinary dignitaries have three wives and four concubines, all of whom are beautiful ladies with extraordinary looks. And her recognized teacher is very powerful and his spirit ring is even more shocking. How could he accept such a mediocre maid? Even the master's wife is unremarkable.

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't figure it out, but she wasn't stupid enough to ask. She just changed her expression, looked pious and respectful, waiting for Chen Yao to speak.

After Chen Yao sent Qian Renxue away, he turned his attention to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Why, have you decided on the conditions for becoming my disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing slammed her forehead on the ground.

"Teacher's strength is so great that Zhu Qing cannot even imagine it, but I am afraid that Teacher is Zhu Qing's only chance to change his fate in this life. Zhu Qing is unwilling to give up and begs Teacher for guidance, otherwise Zhu Qing will kneel down forever!"

There was a resoluteness in Zhu Zhuqing's voice, which was clearly proving her determination.

"Oh, so you are planning to get something for nothing, and you are still blackmailing me?"

Chen Yao's eyes flickered and his face was amused.

"Zhu Qing doesn't dare!"

When Zhu Zhuqing asked this question, her crawling body trembled suddenly. She spoke quickly, not daring to look up.

Chen Yao did not say anything else, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

It has to be said that he was indeed somewhat attracted to Zhu Zhuqing. He had rejected her cruelly yesterday, and now that she was offered to him again today, he began to waver.

Moreover, he was not good at teaching. Ning Rongrong, who was pushed over by Ning Fengzhi before, was manipulated according to the Shrek method in his memory. He had little contact with auxiliary soul masters, so he could only copy them.

But it seemed that he could really teach Zhu Zhuqing, the Netherworld Spirit Cat. After all, although he was confused when he was young, he had at least received a few years of formal education.

After he first became Guimei's disciple, Guimei was very concerned about him. It should not be difficult to teach Zhu Zhuqing according to Guimei's training method.

However, although he was shaken, Chen Yao did not want to agree immediately. A kind of evil taste arose in his heart. He bent down and squatted in front of Zhu Zhuqing. He stretched out his fingers, lifted Zhu Zhuqing's chin, and faced her delicate little face with a joking expression.

"It's not impossible for me to take you in as my apprentice, but the old lady is in good health, and she still has the energy of a young person. Do you understand?"

As he spoke, Chen Yao's gaze moved downwards and stopped on the numerous fruits that were beyond their size. There was an undisguised burning passion in his eyes. Although it was just a tease, looking at the magnificence that almost occupied his entire eyeball, Chen Yao couldn't help swallowing for a moment, his fingers trembling slightly, and he couldn't help but want to step forward to weigh it twice.

Feeling Chen Yao's naked gaze, no matter how slow she was, Zhu Zhuqing understood what Chen Yao meant.

For a moment, she felt as if she had swallowed a fly. She felt extremely sick and almost vomited, and her face was gloomy and ugly.

She couldn't understand why Chen Yao, who had the face of a kind old man, could be so vile and shameless. He was simply a beast in human form!
She felt goosebumps all over her body and subconsciously wanted to get up and leave. However, when she thought of her dark and hopeless future, she suppressed her anger and gritted her teeth.

"Teacher, please don't tease Zhuqing. Zhuqing is wholeheartedly wanting to become your disciple and learn from you. If Zhuqing can really change the predetermined outcome, Zhuqing will definitely do his best to meet your needs!"

Zhu Zhuqing wanted to avoid Chen Yao's excessive intentions.

But Chen Yao refused to give in.

"Really? But power or wealth is dispensable to me, and you can't afford the spirit rings and spirit bones that can satisfy my heart, so what can you satisfy me in the end?"

As he spoke, Chen Yao walked around behind Zhu Zhuqing, slowly bent down, pressed his chest against Zhu Zhuqing's back, sniffed the faint orchid fragrance on her body, with an lewd look on his face, and put one hand on her fragrant shoulder, stroking it slowly.

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly felt a chill, her body trembled, and her heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

She wanted to resist and shake off Chen Yao's evil hand, but when she was about to exert her strength, she hesitated and could only bite her lip and said in a trembling voice. "Please respect yourself, old teacher. Zhu Qing already has a fiancé."

"You have a fiancé, that's a plus, I'm even more excited. If I were to ask you, your conditions are much more exaggerated than those of some married men, it's simply not in line with your age!"

Chen Yao did not hold back either, and his tone became even more playful.

This made Zhu Zhuqing not know what to say at the moment. Her hands were clenched tightly under her sleeves and her body was shaking.

Just when she could no longer bear Chen Yao's unbearable words and felt humiliated and wanted to resist, Chen Yao suddenly let her go, slowly stood up, walked in front of her, and said with a joking face.

"I have decided to accept you as my apprentice. If you are not afraid of being flirted with by me during your instruction, please come find me in the afternoon. Now, I am going to have breakfast."

Having said that, Chen Yao waved his hand at Zhu Zhuqing, then walked into the house with Gu Yuena.

At the back, Zhu Zhuqing knelt on the spot with a dazed look on her face. The anticipation that had kept her awake all night long and tossed and turned had finally paid off, but she couldn't feel happy in her heart. Just as Chen Yao had said last night, he was going to drag her into another abyss.

She wanted to escape her original fate and didn't want to be manipulated by her family, but if she took Chen Yao as her master, she would be at his mercy. Then what was the point of doing all this?
For a moment, various emotions such as struggle, entanglement, and pain flashed through Zhu Zhuqing's heart, causing her cold face to appear slightly distorted.

Chen Yao was unaware of Zhu Zhuqing's struggle and didn't care.

Success or failure, it's no loss to him, it's not like he's begging others to become his disciple.

He peacefully enjoyed his breakfast, which was comparable to that of princes and nobles. The process of chewing slowly and savoring the delicious food was also a pleasant experience for him.

On the side, Gu Yuena looked at Chen Yao, wanting to say something but hesitating, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Do you really want to take her as your apprentice?"

She could see that Chen Yao had a strong liking for Zhu Zhuqing. Otherwise, how could such a heartless person accept her as his disciple without any benefit?
Although Gu Yuena had been in contact with humans for some time and did not have many opinions or comments about humans' wives and concubines, when it came to her turn, she felt a sense of jealousy in her heart. She was also told that Chen Yao had just painted a happy picture for her yesterday, but today it made her feel as if the picture was torn apart, and she felt quite hurt.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue, who was standing by, secretly looked up, wanting to know Chen Yao's reaction.

Chen Yao, however, took his time. He swallowed the food in his mouth, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and then explained.

"You also heard yesterday that I know her family, and I have a slight acquaintance with one of her elders. I don't want to be too firm in rejecting her, but I don't have the time to take her in, so I was verbally offensive. And judging from her personality, I think she has enough self-respect and will probably not come again. If I really have any feelings for her, I can just take her in first and then work slowly. Why make it so embarrassing now?

But if she really came to me, I couldn't refuse her. But even if I really accepted her as my apprentice, I would spend all my spare time on you, so how could I have any thoughts about her?"

Although Gu Yuena was extremely obedient to him now, her overwhelming strength was real. Chen Yao did not want to see any more problems with Gu Yuena's mentality, so he made up a reasonable reason.

After hearing Chen Yao's explanation, Qian Renxue was still skeptical, but Gu Yuena breathed a sigh of relief. With a smile on her face and affection in her eyes, she looked like she believed it without a doubt. She nodded heavily at Chen Yao and responded.

"So that's it!"

At this moment, Chen Yao also secretly glanced at Gu Yuena with the corner of his eyes. Seeing her expression, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If Bibi Dong had thought that Gu Yuena was so easy to fool, his soul power would not have been sealed for four years. If it had been unsealed earlier, he would probably be more than a Titled Douluo now, right?

Regretfully, Chen Yao had no mood to enjoy the food on the table. He didn't need food to replenish his energy now. Three meals a day were just a habit and a way to satisfy his appetite.

He slowly stood up and left the table, intending to go for a walk on the street, but was stopped by Gu Yuena.

Looking at her obscure eyes and slightly flushed cheeks, Chen Yao immediately understood what this meant. He sighed lightly in his heart and poured his soul power into the Supreme Bone. Then he let it pull him along and walked up to the attic under Qian Renxue's envious and jealous gaze.

After several hours of fierce fighting, they made up for the duel that was interrupted by Zhu Zhuqing in the morning.

Chen Yao was pulled by Qian Renxue to practice again.

After less than an hour of practice, Chen Yao gently put Qian Renxue, whose eyes were rolled up and whose body was trembling slightly, on the bed.

Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, Chen Yao wiped the sweat from his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, then walked to the hall and was about to go out for a walk.

But at this moment, there was a knock on the door, which made Chen Yao slightly stunned.

When I opened the door, I saw Zhu Zhuqing, who had a broad mind, standing outside with a nervous look on her face.

Chen Yao was a little surprised. He had said it so bluntly in the morning, but Zhu Zhuqing actually dared to come to his house. Was she really willing to disregard everything to win the fight?
When Zhu Zhuqing saw Chen Yao opening the door, she was startled and bowed.

"Teacher, I know that your words this morning were a test to shake me, but I will not give up. I want to learn from you!"

Zhu Zhuqing's voice was sonorous and firm.

After she went back, she was hesitant, not knowing whether she should take the risk of sacrificing herself to become his disciple again. But not long after, she suddenly woke up. If Chen Yao really wanted to hit on her, he only needed to pretend to be a righteous man and accept her as his disciple first, and then act quietly. Why did he need to tell her explicitly? This would only make her more alert.

This clearly means that he wants her to give up!
Zhu Zhuqing thought she had seen through Chen Yao's purpose, and instead of flinching, she became even more determined to become his disciple!

After hearing this, Chen Yao had an inexplicable look on his face, and there was something strange in his eyes as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing.

He didn't expect that Zhu Zhuqing would think that his words were just a test!
It was true that he wanted Zhu Zhuqing to give up, but he would not let go of something that came to his doorstep.

"Well, since you have misunderstood me so deeply, I will prove myself with my actions!"

Chen Yao looked melancholy and sighed in his heart. Then his expression changed and turned into an ambiguous smile.

"In that case, I will accept you as my disciple. Come in!"
