She took out a few more gold soul coins and threw them in front of Tang San.

"Okay, if you think the money isn't enough, I'll give you some more."

Tang San was furious.

"You bitch!"

He blurted it out.

Ning Rongrong's face instantly darkened.

"What did you say?"

"I said, you're a slut!" Tang San gritted his teeth and growled.

Ning Rongrong was furious.

She grew up in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and was pampered by everyone. When had she ever been called a slut to her face?

"You're the slut! Your whole family are sluts!"

"you!"

"What do you mean, 'who do you think you are?' A piece of trash with a Blue Silver Grass martial soul dares to insult me?"

Tang San was so angry that he trembled all over and struggled to stand up.

Xiao Wu quickly pulled him back: "Third Brother, don't be impulsive!"

Oscar also rushed over to mediate: "Stop arguing, stop arguing, you're all classmates..."

Zhu Zhuqing stood aside the whole time, observing coldly.

Her gaze kept falling on Yang Jian, and she always felt that Yang Jian was doing it on purpose.

Although she had no evidence, her intuition told her that Yang Jian was not as simple as she appeared.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

At this moment, Yang Jian watched Tang San and Ning Rongrong arguing with great interest, a faint smile on his lips.

His gaze swept over Zhu Zhuqing and he noticed that she was secretly looking at him.

After thinking about it, Zhu Zhuqing is the only normal person among the Shrek Seven Devils. Perhaps it's worth trying to make contact with her. If we can bring her into the Spirit Hall's camp, that would be even better.

"Could you take me to my dorm?" Yang Jian asked Zhu Zhuqing calmly as he approached her.

Zhu Zhuqing was slightly taken aback.

She was just thinking about how to strike up a conversation with Yang Jian when, unexpectedly, he came to her door.

This could be an opportunity to build closer relationships and learn how to become stronger.

"Okay." Zhu Zhuqing nodded, turned around and walked out of the cafeteria.

Yang Jian followed, glanced back at Tang San and Ning Rongrong who were still arguing, and at Xiao Wu and Oscar who were still trying to break up the fight, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

……

It had gotten completely dark.

Shrek Academy's dormitory area is located on a small hillside, with rows of low bungalows that look particularly simple under the moonlight.

Yang Jian and Zhu Zhuqing walked side by side on the muddy road, neither of them speaking.

Zhu Zhuqing tried to start a conversation several times, but didn't know how to begin.

She is usually quiet and never initiates conversations with others.

Yang Jian was making a plan in his mind.

Based on my observation, Tang San should be able to break through to level 30 in the next few days.

At that time, Tang San will go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for his third spirit ring and obtain the external spirit bone Eight Spider Lances. Xiao Wu will also be taken away by the Titan Giant Ape.

Let them have a few days of comfort first.

Once we get to the Star Dou Great Forest, we'll intercept the Eight Spider Spears, control Xiao Wu, kill Er Ming, and obtain our fifth soul ring.

As Yang Jian thought of this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

He turned his head and his gaze fell on Zhu Zhuqing beside him.

Under the moonlight, Zhu Zhuqing's face appeared exceptionally cold and aloof.

Her black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, and her dark eyes were deep and serene.

Her features were exquisite, with a cool and aloof beauty.

Her temperament is outstanding.

As for looks, Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena each have their own merits, and it's impossible to say who is better.

Yang Jian withdrew his gaze and took the initiative to start a conversation.

"You're from the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire, right?"

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly stopped and turned to look at Yang Jian, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"How did you know?"

She was utterly shocked.

She never revealed her identity to anyone.

How could this boy, whom I'm meeting for the first time, know this?

Yang Jian did not answer the question, but continued speaking to himself.

"Zhu Zhuqing, the fiancée of Dai Mubai, the third prince of the Star Luo Empire."

"Because Dai Mubai was afraid of dying, he abandoned you and fled here alone."

"You're really pathetic."

Zhu Zhuqing stopped completely in her tracks.

She bit her lip, her nails dug into her palms, and her eyes were slightly red.

The things she desperately wanted to forget were casually mentioned by Yang Jian, like a knife that precisely pierced her most vulnerable spot.

She is indeed pitiful.

Her fiancé, fearing for his life, abandoned her and ran away.

She chased him here, but he spent his days philandering and wanted to get back together with her, acting as if nothing had happened.

"You really want to become stronger, you really want to escape your pathetic fate, you really want to be yourself again, right?"

"Can...you help me achieve that?"

Zhu Zhuqing raised her head and looked at him, the confusion and sadness in her eyes gradually replaced by hope.

She nodded repeatedly.

Become stronger.

She wants to become stronger.

Be strong enough to control your own destiny, so that you are no longer bullied or hunted down.

Yang Jian looked at her, his gaze calm and direct.

"Become one of my people, and I might consider helping you become stronger."

"But the prerequisite is that you have to perform well."

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned.

To become Yang Jian's person?

Her mind automatically translated the sentence into another meaning.

Then I thought of that sentence, "You performed well."

Her face flushed instantly.

Zhu Zhuqing's heart suddenly raced, and she was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that her throat felt like it was blocked by something, and she couldn't utter a single word.

Hesitant and awkward, at a loss for what to do.

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, the moonlight shining on her black hair, giving it a faint sheen.

Yang Jian didn't see her flushed cheeks, assuming she was struggling with something.

Yang Jian was not in a hurry and waited quietly for a reply.

In fact, whether Zhu Zhuqing agrees or not will ultimately have no impact on him.

He is now simply giving Zhu Zhuqing a choice.

If Zhu Zhuqing refuses and will become an enemy of the Spirit Hall in the future, then we can just kill her. One more enemy won't make a difference, and one less won't make a difference either.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing was engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

Become stronger.

The temptation is just too great.

It was so big that she could hardly resist it.

However, the price is becoming Yang Jian's woman...

For a moment, she wavered.

But when she thought about how she and Yang Jian had only known each other for less than a day and had barely exchanged more than ten sentences, she dismissed some of her ideas, at least not now.

She can't.

"I..." Zhu Zhuqing raised her head, the blush on her face had faded, and she had regained her usual cool demeanor. "Could you give me some time to think about it?"

Yang Jian had no idea what she was thinking, nor did she realize that she had interpreted her words as something else entirely. She just thought it was normal to consider it.
