Douluo V: Starting with daily check-ins, I'm trying to trick Xiao Wu into becoming my wife.

"Starry Sky Forest?"

Apart from Xiao Wu and Ao Yin, everyone present had a serious expression!

The Star Dou Great Forest is vast and boundless, inhabited year-round by countless powerful soul beasts. It is fraught with danger, and a slight misstep could lead to a fatal crisis, making it extremely dangerous.

To allay everyone's concerns, Flander said, "Don't worry, the academy will arrange for the powerful teacher Zhao Wuji to accompany you on this Soul Hunting Trial to protect your safety."

At this point, Flanders paused, then changed the subject.

"Most of you have probably already eaten Oscar's recovery sausage, right?"

"Although the incantation he uses to unleash his soul skills is crude and vulgar, and may make some people uncomfortable, it is a psychological test that every Shrek Academy student must overcome. No one is exempt; they must completely conquer it!"

Then, his sharp eyes swept over everyone before his gaze landed on Ning Rongrong.

"I've heard that some of you still can't overcome this psychological barrier."

"If anyone still harbors resentment or refuses to accept the offer before departure, they will be stripped of their training eligibility and expelled from Shrek Academy!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's face instantly darkened; it was clearly directed at her!

However, Oscar's sausage, the name "Soul Curse" sounded so unappetizing that it made her lose all desire to eat it, plus its shape... she simply couldn't bring herself to take a bite.

This wasn't because she was spoiled, but because she genuinely resisted it from the bottom of her heart and didn't want to touch it at all.

"Now, Oscar gives everyone a sausage, and everyone shares it to help those trainees who still have reservations overcome their psychological barriers!"

"This is very important! Oscar's sausages could save your lives in a pinch!"

Oscar did not hesitate at all upon receiving the dean's order.

The spirit rings lit up instantly, and the strange spirit incantation was chanted once more:

"I have a big sausage, I have a big sausage, I have a big sausage—"

And just like that, thick, round, long sausages appeared out of thin air.

Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San were already used to it, and even Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing didn't care and ate it in one bite!

But in Ning Rongrong's eyes, it was still incredibly irritating and disgusting.

Looking at the large sausage in front of her, her facial features scrunched up, her whole body stiffened and tensed, and she was instantly overcome with physical discomfort.

"I don't want to eat Oscar's giant sausage!"

Ning Rongrong instinctively stepped back, her whole body resisting.

Seeing this, Ao Yin walked directly to Ning Rongrong, snatched the large sausage from her hand, and decisively bit off half of it right in front of her.

"See, it's not as disgusting as you think. This stuff can replenish your energy; it's practically a powerful tonic, and it could even save your life!"

After saying that, he gently handed his large sausage to Ning Rongrong's palm.

"Rongrong, have this one!"

"Don't be afraid, just be brave."

Hearing this, seemingly encouraged by Ao Yin and not wanting to disappoint him, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and without thinking further, stuffed Ao Yin's large sausage into her mouth, swallowing it quickly regardless of whether it was disgusting or not.

Waaaaah~

She initially felt disgusted, but when she opened her eyes and met Ao Yin's clear gaze, she immediately suppressed it!

Just shove the whole thing in, deep down your throat, and swallow it in one gulp!

"Rongrong finished eating Brother Ao's big sausage!"

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others looked at Ning Rongrong with subtle expressions, mainly because Ning Rongrong's actions when eating the large sausage were too bold!

This shocked them, and they couldn't help but give Ao Yin a thumbs up, praising, "As expected of Brother Ao, you actually managed to convince Ning Rongrong to eat a giant sausage!"

Despite her pride, she held no grudge against Ao Yin.

Ao Yin asked with concern, "How are you feeling?"

"I ate it all in one go, didn't really taste anything, but I felt...very comfortable!"

"See, you did it! It's really not that hard. It's something you only do once, or you'll do it countless times. You'll love the feeling!"

Ning Rongrong nodded vigorously, looked up at Flander, her eyes filled with unwavering determination.

"Dean, I've overcome it! I'll never resist it again!"

"I am qualified to stay at Shrek Academy and join everyone on their journey to the Star Dou Great Forest for training!"

Flanders nodded slightly, even he looked at Ao Yin with new respect.

"Permission granted to return to the team!"

"I'm really looking forward to your experience and growth this time!"

"Everyone, return to your dorms immediately to pack your supplies. We'll depart with Zhao Wuji this afternoon!"

"Yes, Dean!"

Everyone responded in unison, their voices loud and clear.

The trip to the Star Dou Great Forest was the first real-world combat experience for these Shrek Academy students since they enrolled.

Unlike the courtyard or the Great Soul Arena, the Star Dou Great Forest is fraught with danger and full of unknowns.

Flander deliberately relaxed the rules, giving everyone ample time to prepare their equipment.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

After everyone finished packing, they gathered together and exclaimed that they were finally going out to see the real world. Everyone was looking forward to it!

But just then, a cold and aloof figure suddenly appeared.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Tang San were slightly taken aback.

It turned out to be Zhu Zhuqing, who was usually quiet, aloof, and never joined any group.

Zhu Zhuqing bypassed the crowd and walked directly to Ao Yin, who was still resting under the tree.

"Ao Yin!"

Zhu Zhuqing actually took the initiative to strike up a conversation with someone?

This sudden scene instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others, who were originally discussing the Soul Hunting Plan in hushed tones, suddenly widened their eyes in shock.

Ma Hongjun gasped in surprise on the spot, his face full of envy.

"No way! I can't believe my eyes!"

"Shrek Academy's three goddesses! Xiao Wu, Rong Rong, and now even Sister Zhu Qing is actively seeking out Brother Ao!"

"This is outrageous! How did you do that, Brother Ao?!"

"Comparison is the thief of joy! Shrek Academy only had three girls to begin with, and they were all snatched up by Brother Ao. Even when eating meat, you have to leave some soup for the brothers!!"

Dai Mubai immediately kicked the chubby boy, then pretended to be calm and scolded him.

"What's all the fuss about! Zhu Qing is aloof and reserved; maybe she really has something important to discuss with him."

He was scolding others, but inside he was secretly tense and uneasy.

Xiao Wu, who was standing to the side, was simple-minded and just stared at the two of them with curiosity, wondering why Sister Zhu Qing, who was so aloof, wanted to see Brother Ao.

Only Ning Rongrong instantly became extremely vigilant.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, Ao Yin remained calm and ignored everyone's gaze. He removed the leaves covering his face and looked up at Zhu Zhuqing, who was slender and had a cold and elegant demeanor.

"What's up?"

"Well, I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"No problem. I can help you as much as I can." Ao Yin shrugged slightly and readily agreed.

After all, Zhu Zhuqing is aloof and reserved, and rarely speaks.

As long as it's not something excessive, someone as understanding as Ao Yin is happy to help beautiful women, especially someone like Zhu Zhuqing... a top-tier beauty!

Besides, what could Zhu Zhuqing possibly have done that was excessive?

"Can you... train me?"

puff!

Zhu Zhuqing is known for her outrageous statements; she always speaks with a thunderous tone, and her short sentence shocked Ao Yin for an entire year.

"Discipline?"

Countless ambiguous images flashed through Ao Yin's mind in an instant. With Zhu Zhuqing so close, her figure curvaceous and her cold and beautiful temperament making her exceptionally captivating!

Unlike Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's stunning beauty, even the usually composed Ao Yin couldn't help but let his mind wander slightly at this moment.

He coughed lightly and spoke tentatively.

"How about... we find a quieter place to talk?"

Zhu Zhuqing was slightly taken aback, then gently shook her head.

"No need, this is fine."

"The space here is spacious and open, allowing for greater freedom of movement; it's a great training ground!"

Ao Yin gasped. Open air, in the wild?

Who knew Zhu Zhuqing had such a peculiar hobby!

Ao Yin swallowed hard, then said cautiously, "But, with Dai Mubai, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Tang San, and others all here, wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

"It's alright! Your first soul skill is a large-scale area suppression; I want you to use it to train me!"

"Huh?"

Ao Yin didn't immediately grasp what Zhu Zhuqing was trying to say.

"My Netherworld Cat Martial Soul excels at assassination, stealth, and ambush. If I can also achieve complete concealment within your Crimson Tide and merge with your flames, not only will my strength rise to a new level, but it will also enhance our cooperation, allowing me to become the woman behind you..."

Upon hearing this, Ao Yin touched his nose. So, after all that fuss, this is what Zhu Zhuqing meant by "training"?

You've misunderstood!

"Damn it, Ao Yin!"

Ao Yin was inwardly condemning the filth within himself!

But he was also helpless. Because the word "training" isn't used like that; it's too easy for people to misunderstand.

However, this cannot be blamed on Zhu Zhuqing. She is used to being aloof and cold, and she doesn't have much experience in communicating deeply with people. Her word choice is somewhat imprecise!

"So you wanted me to be your special training instructor, to hone and improve your stealth and assassination skills."

"That's right." Zhu Zhuqing nodded seriously.

"Of all the people here, only your soul skill is the most suitable for specifically targeting and training my Netherworld Assassination attribute."

She looked up at Ao Yin, a hint of expectation in her cool eyes, her tone soft and alluring.

"You can do anything you want to me as long as you're willing to help me become stronger."

A glint of light flashed in Ao Yin's eyes. "Really...anything is possible?"

Zhu Zhuqing slightly puffed out her chest, a captivating charm subtly flashing between her cool and aloof brows, and softly replied:

"Yeah. I'll do anything to become stronger."

"Please discipline me properly, please!"
