After finishing the battle against Shrek Academy and thoroughly teaching Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the others a lesson on the arena, Zhu Zhuqing was in an excellent mood.
The moment she left the stage, her first thought was to find Zhou Sidong and share the joy of victory with him.
However, as she walked, her steps gradually slowed.
"Sidong went to a parallel world. He's not here."
As soon as she said this, Zhu Zhuqing's face immediately fell.
Suddenly, Zhou Sidong quietly stepped forward. Under the covert gaze of another Zhu Zhuqing, he wrapped his arms around the waist of the Zhu Zhuqing from the main world and pulled her into his embrace.
At that instant, the Zhu Zhuqing who was secretly observing began trembling all over, as if the one being hugged were herself.
But then she thought—wait a second!
Isn't that… me?
A barely noticeable smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Sidong's lips. He rested his chin on Zhu Zhuqing's fragrant shoulder, kissed her cheek, and said indulgently,"Well done, little kitten. One against seven on the arena—and you even defeated Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the rest."
Zhu Zhuqing from the main world was startled by the sudden hug. She slapped away Zhou Sidong's mischievous hands, then主动 leaned into his arms instead, wrapping both arms tightly around her lover.
"I thought you hadn't come back yet…"
This tender scene was witnessed in its entirety by the Zhu Zhuqing from the parallel world. She hugged her shoulders, trembling in place, her eyelids twitching wildly.
Watching the "other self" being so intimate with Zhou Sidong, the parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing finally accepted reality.
In this world, she and Zhou Sidong were lovers—calling them future husband and wife wouldn't be an exaggeration. They just hadn't officially married yet.
No normal man would want his wife to abandon him to seek out another man, and Zhou Sidong was no exception.
That was exactly why, for his own sake—and for Zhu Zhuqing's—he had brought the Zhu Zhuqing from the parallel world back here, cutting off such possibilities at the root.
"Zhuqing, let's go home," Zhou Sidong said.
He took Zhu Zhuqing's slender hand and then gave a meaningful look toward the Zhu Zhuqing hiding in the shadows.
The Zhu Zhuqing in the black robe gathered her courage. In this unfamiliar parallel world, although everything around her felt extremely familiar, Tian Dou City itself was not a place where she had anywhere else to go.
From the battle on the arena earlier, it was obvious that the Zhu Zhuqing of this world had completely fallen out with Shrek Academy. She had even beaten Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the others in front of tens of thousands of spectators.
This alone showed just how irreconcilable the conflict between Zhu Zhuqing and Shrek Academy had become.
"Sidong, who is this?" Zhu Zhuqing asked, noticing the black-robed figure ahead.
Before coming out, the parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing had deliberately pulled her hood low. She was extremely nervous—after all, this was another version of herself. Seeing yourself face-to-face in front of others… honestly, who but Zhu Zhuqing could end up in a situation this awkward?
Zhou Sidong smiled at the black-robed Zhu Zhuqing, then turned to the Zhu Zhuqing beside him and said,"This is a friend of mine. I was just about to take her back to introduce her to my sister. Don't worry—she's reliable."
With Zhou Sidong personally vouching for her, Zhu Zhuqing finally relaxed a little.
After all, Qian Renxue's secret absolutely could not be exposed. If it leaked, everything would be ruined.
Thus, the black-robed Zhu Zhuqing silently followed behind Zhou Sidong and Zhu Zhuqing. Watching the two of them walking ahead hand in hand, fingers tightly interlocked, she felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart.
It felt as though the "her" walking in front was embarrassing the "her" walking behind.
They entered Qian Renxue's residence through the passageway. At the same time, Qian Renxue had just returned and removed her disguise as Xue Qinghe.
Seeing her younger brother and sister-in-law return, Qian Renxue was visibly delighted. But when she noticed the black-robed figure following behind them, the smile on her face vanished, replaced by a scrutinizing gaze fixed on the cloaked Zhu Zhuqing.
The black-robed Zhu Zhuqing felt extremely uncomfortable.
Because at that moment, three pairs of eyes were locked firmly on her.
Qian Renxue.Spear Douluo.Porcupinefish Douluo.
Apart from Zhou Sidong, no one knew who this person really was. Zhu Zhuqing scratched her head and looked at Zhou Sidong in confusion.
"Sidong, you still haven't told me. Who is she?"
"Zhuqing, take a deep breath first," Zhou Sidong said hurriedly.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhu Zhuqing placed her hand on Zhou Sidong's forehead. "Talking nonsense in broad daylight."
"Brother, who is this person?" Qian Renxue's cold voice rang out.
"Zhuqing, don't be nervous. You can lift your hood now," Zhou Sidong said with a smile to the black-robed Zhu Zhuqing.
Main-world Zhu Zhuqing: "???"Qian Renxue: "???"Spear Douluo & Porcupinefish Douluo: "???"Zhou Sidong: (^ω^)Black-robed Zhu Zhuqing: (;)
The black-robed Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath. Under the bewildered gazes of Zhu Zhuqing, Qian Renxue, and the others, she slowly removed her hood.
In that instant, Zhu Zhuqing froze on the spot.
Staring at an identical version of herself, her mind completely short-circuited.
Qian Renxue spat out a mouthful of tea in shock. Looking at the two identical "sisters-in-law" before her, she was stunned for a moment—then the corners of her lips curved upward.
Excellent. It seemed the Angel Clan was finally about to flourish.
Spear Douluo & Porcupinefish Douluo: "!!!"
Realizing something was seriously wrong, the two of them quickly found excuses and slipped away.
The two Zhu Zhuqings—now both unveiled—stood facing each other. After silently staring for a long while, they both lowered their heads.
Meeting another version of yourself in front of so many people… both of their cheeks flushed red.
The main-world Zhu Zhuqing immediately shot Zhou Sidong a glare, reached out, and pinched the soft flesh at his waist. Gritting her teeth, she said,
"This was all your idea, wasn't it? You said you were going to the parallel world while I was competing. I thought you were going to fight a match. Turns out you brought another me back instead! What—one isn't enough to serve you? You want a pair?"
Faced with her sharp suspicion, Zhou Sidong gave an awkward laugh."Wronged! I really did just finish the grand finals in the parallel world. Before coming back, I simply brought the other you along. I did it for you, Zhuqing. Having another sister isn't such a bad thing, right?"
"You think I don't know you?" Zhu Zhuqing glared at him. In truth, Zhou Sidong had floated this idea before.
She just hadn't said anything at the time—she was watching his attitude.
"I thought you agreed," Zhou Sidong sighed. He knew bringing the parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing back on his own initiative was bound to cause trouble.
"When did I ever agree?" Zhu Zhuqing said, half amused and half exasperated.
The rice had already been cooked.
No matter how unwilling she felt, the parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing was already here.
Looking at the other "herself," Zhu Zhuqing felt deeply conflicted. How was she supposed to get along with her from now on?
"Well…" Zhu Zhuqing looked at the parallel-world version of herself, at a loss for words.
"Don't mind my existence. I really hate this guy," the parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing said coldly, glaring at Zhou Sidong.
"Oh?" Qian Renxue perked up immediately, sensing juicy gossip. "Is there some conflict between you and my brother?"
"Yes," the parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing said. "Two years ago, in the Star Dou Forest. He rode in on a Dark Devilgod Tiger and nearly wiped out Shrek Academy. And before leaving… he also…"
"He also what?" the main-world Zhu Zhuqing asked coldly, turning her gaze to Zhou Sidong.
Zhou Sidong sighed helplessly."Well… I took her first kiss. And… took a bit more advantage."
"That's all?" Qian Renxue sounded disappointed. She had expected much more drama. "Nothing else?"
She seemed unusually interested in this parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing.
"No," the parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, then glared at Zhou Sidong. "You molested me first. I haven't settled that score with you yet!"
"I'm his sister," Qian Renxue said immediately. "It's fine. Sister-in-law, I'll discipline him for you!"
With that, she dragged Zhou Sidong toward the rear hall.
"Hey—wait, I—"
Watching Zhou Sidong get hauled away by his sister, the parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing realized she had been misunderstood.
If she had any relationship with Zhou Sidong at all, it was only one thing—
An enemy.
An enemy who had taken advantage of her!
Recalling the scene in the Star Dou Forest, she ground her teeth, wishing she could rush over and bite him to death right now.
"You're the me from this world," she asked the main-world Zhu Zhuqing suspiciously. "How did you ever fall for him?"
To be honest, back at the Tian Dou Great Soul Arena, watching this world's version of herself acting so intimately with Zhou Sidong had made her skin crawl.
"I? How did I fall for Sidong?" Zhu Zhuqing smiled faintly. "Actually, Sidong isn't bad at all. On the contrary, he's always treated me very well."
As she spoke, five spirit rings lit up beneath her feet—two yellow, one purple, and two black.
The configuration alone left the parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing stunned.
"I have three soul bones, each over fifty thousand years old. I could absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring as my fourth ring. All of this is thanks to Sidong," the main-world Zhu Zhuqing said provocatively. "So tell me—does he treat me well or not?"
The parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing's expression stiffened.
She didn't even want to reveal her own spirit rings.
In her world, she was only a Spirit Elder. No soul bones. In spirit rings and cultivation level alike, she was completely outmatched.
They were the same person.
Yet she—who had stayed in Shrek Academy all these years—was far inferior to the version of herself who had already left it.
"Could it be that what Zhou Sidong said is true… that Shrek Academy in this world really is that unbearable?" she wondered silently.
Rear Hall
"Brilliant show, little brother. You really put on a performance for your sister," Qian Renxue said with a grin.
She had heard every word exchanged between the two Zhu Zhuqings.
"I'll burn incense if they don't start fighting," Zhou Sidong sighed. "Don't just enjoy the spectacle. If this keeps going, I guarantee those two will come to blows sooner or later."
"Let them fight," Qian Renxue said cheerfully. "If they don't fight, I'd be worried."
Zhou Sidong: "???"
"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue! Don't mind it," Qian Renxue laughed."Little brother, you brought this parallel-world sister-in-law here, so she's your responsibility. Work hard and get both their bellies big as soon as possible. That way, the Angel Clan will truly prosper!"
"You say that like it costs you nothing," Zhou Sidong said helplessly. "That Zhu Zhuqing wants to skin me alive. You know her personality. Back then, to keep her from getting involved with Dai Mubai, I had no choice but to use that method. Now she's completely broken with Dai Mubai, and my situation isn't great either. The only solution is time—let feelings grow slowly."
"I don't care. I want nephews," Qian Renxue said flatly.
"Fine," Zhou Sidong said. "Next time I go to a parallel world, I'll bring back another version of you. Then let's see how you deal with it."
The moment he said that, Qian Renxue laughed.
"Sure. Tell me next time. If it's related to me, I'll go with you. I wouldn't mind another sister at all."
Hearing this, Zhou Sidong suddenly smiled."If I remember correctly, that world only has you—no me. In this world, you're my biological sister. But in the parallel world, that 'you' isn't related to me at all… and I don't exist there."
"You… what are you plotting now?" Qian Renxue sensed danger.
"Who was it who told Mother, 'Don't let good water flow to outsiders'?" Zhou Sidong grinned. "Next time I go to that Tian Dou City, I'll disguise myself as a handsome stranger, seduce you, and then… hehehe…"
"No! You're not allowed to go!" Qian Renxue panicked instantly. "I'm your sister! She's also your sister!"
"What sister? I don't even exist in that world," Zhou Sidong retorted. "Why shouldn't I?"
"No means no!"
The two of them started wrestling on the spot. Qian Renxue was genuinely flustered now.
If Mother or Grandpa ever found out, they'd both be dead.
"Didn't you say you wanted me to strengthen the Angel Clan? You should contribute too," Zhou Sidong teased with a wicked grin.
"Get lost!" Qian Renxue punched him in the shoulder."Absolutely not! Don't you dare do something so outrageous!"
"Then stop rushing me. Relationships take time," Zhou Sidong shot back.
Ever since he got together with Zhu Zhuqing, their mother hadn't pressured him—but this sister certainly had.
And so, the parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing temporarily stayed in Qian Renxue's residence.
Though she was in another world, it was still the Douluo Continent—and her family existed here as well.
"It's already dark. Why aren't you asleep yet?" the parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing asked, looking at the main-world Zhu Zhuqing sitting beside her.
"Aren't you still awake too?" Zhu Zhuqing replied.
"Can you sleep after being dragged into another world and meeting another version of yourself?" the parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing shot back.
"Fair enough," Zhu Zhuqing nodded. "No one would expect there to be a second 'me' in the world."
After a pause, she added, "Sidong said you just finished the grand finals. Did Shrek Academy make it to the finals?"
"Mm." The parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing nodded.
"Those bastards really stepped in dog shit," Zhu Zhuqing muttered angrily.
"You seem hostile toward Shrek Academy," the parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing observed. She had noticed it long ago—on the arena, this version of herself had beaten Dai Mubai and Tang San so badly it was almost cruel.
"You have no idea how shameless they are. Let's start with Yu Xiaogang…" Zhu Zhuqing recounted everything about him.
"What?!" the parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing was stunned."The Master publicly swore on the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? He stole credit, deceived the world, and even plotted against Zhou Sidong when he was young? That's completely different from the Master in my world. But before I came here, the Master in my world had already been killed by Zhou Sidong."
"The Yu Xiaogang in another world is dead? Good riddance!" Zhu Zhuqing slammed the table. "Sidong did a great job!"
"I haven't asked yet," the parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing said. "Why did you decide to leave Shrek Academy back then?"
"Your experience was probably similar to mine. Back in Soto City, Dai Mubai never changed his old habits—he even got worse. At the time, Zhou Sidong and I were just friends, but Dai Mubai kept causing trouble for him over trivial things. As time passed, my treatment at Shrek Academy became worse and worse…"
After hearing everything, the parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing sighed."I never imagined you went through so much injustice. No wonder you treat Shrek Academy the way you do."
"People are easy to misjudge," Zhu Zhuqing said calmly. "You can't see the truth just by looking at the surface."
After recognizing Shrek Academy for what it really was, she had left without hesitation—and that was how she ended up where she was today.
"You're very strong," the parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing said softly.
She looked at the other version of herself with eyes full of envy. A desire to grow stronger quietly took root in her heart.
Same age.
Completely different achievements.
Today, Zhu Zhuqing had fought seven opponents alone.
She couldn't do that.
Spirit rings. Cultivation. Soul bones.
The gap between them was enormous—and no amount of postnatal effort could bridge it.
Today's battle had dealt her a heavy blow.
The so-called Shrek Seven Monsters prided themselves on being geniuses—but in front of this Zhu Zhuqing, she couldn't even lift her head.
"Why did Zhou Sidong bring me here from another world?" the parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing asked expressionlessly.
"Because he doesn't want you to be with anyone else," Zhu Zhuqing replied calmly.
She understood Zhou Sidong far too well.
