At sunset, as the fourth purple soul ring beneath "Zhu Zhuqing's" feet gradually settled down, her soul power completely stabilized at Level 43, including the remaining medicinal strength from the immortal herb she had yet to fully absorb.
"Did you succeed?"Zhu Zhuqing asked as she looked at her parallel self, who had already stood up.
"Mhm.""Zhu Zhuqing" nodded quietly.
Her gaze soon fell on Zhou Sidong, who was sitting nearby. His body was covered in blood, making it obvious that something had happened earlier.
"You're injured?"She asked—rare concern in her voice.
"Worried about me?"Zhou Sidong raised an eyebrow with a smile.
"No. Don't misunderstand."She shook her head.
"The soul bone absorption is complete. We can leave now, right?"She turned to the other Zhu Zhuqing.
"No. There are still two things left to do."Zhu Zhuqing smiled mysteriously.
"Two things? What are they?""Zhu Zhuqing" asked.
"Absorb soul bones—and help you obtain your fifth soul ring."
As soon as the words fell, the parallel Zhu Zhuqing froze, disbelief written all over her face.
"Are you serious? I'm only at Level 43. How could I possibly absorb a fifth soul ring early unless my soul power suddenly jumps to Level 50—which is clearly impossible."
She shook her head, having zero faith in such a fantasy.
"Catch."
Suddenly, Zhou Sidong tossed two glowing objects toward her.
She instinctively caught them. The moment she lowered her head and saw what they were, her face changed drastically.
"Soul bones?! And two of them?!"
She was stunned by Zhou Sidong's extravagance.
Soul bones were priceless treasures anywhere—and he casually pulled out two!
"Absorb them quickly," Zhou Sidong said.
Instead, she froze for a moment, then walked over and placed the soul bones back into his hands.
"I don't need your charity."
Her attitude toward Zhou Sidong was extremely cold. What happened in the Star Dou Forest had left nothing but hatred in her heart.
A girl's first kiss—stolen by a mysterious stranger—was a wound carved into her soul for life.
She was proud. And facing soul bones offered by the man she hated most, she refused without hesitation.
"Really don't want them?"Zhou Sidong asked, casually playing with the soul bones.
"No."
"Even if you don't want them, you're taking them!"
Without any regard for reason, Zhou Sidong shoved them into her arms.
"You—why are you doing this?"She was utterly confused. Why was he treating her so well?
"Because you're my wife," Zhou Sidong said calmly, smiling at her."If I don't do this for you, who will?"
"You—how can you say that… I—"
Her cheeks flushed as she glared at him.
"After what happened two years ago in the Star Dou Forest, how did you see me?"Zhou Sidong asked, staring straight at her.
"I hated you!"
"Why?"
"Because you ruined my purity and humiliated me in front of everyone!"
"And now?""Do you still hate me?"
"I do! Even more than before!"
Since birth, she had never truly hated anyone—until Zhou Sidong. He was the first and deepest.
"I see."Zhou Sidong wasn't surprised at all.
"I don't want your charity."She once again tried to return the soul bones.
But Zhou Sidong shook his head.
"You keep saying charity—yet you forgot to ask. That Water Fairy Jade Bone was originally mine."
The moment he said that, she lost her composure.
She turned sharply toward the other Zhu Zhuqing."You two set me up?!"
"We didn't set you up," Zhu Zhuqing said calmly."We did it for your own good."
"With your current physique and talent, starting from Soul Elder to reach Titled Douluo would take you until your sixties or seventies."
"The greatest advantage of immortal herbs is rebirth—total transformation."
"Do you know why Sidong treats you well?"
"Why?"She asked quietly.
"Because treating you well is treating myself well. I'm responsible for myself, and he's responsible for his future wife."
"If I hadn't done this, would you ever have accepted the immortal herb?"
Zhu Zhuqing smiled smugly.
"…"She sighed softly and looked at Zhou Sidong helplessly.
"It seems I'll never escape you in this lifetime."
"I hated you for over two years… but after understanding everything, I suddenly couldn't hate you anymore."
Zhou Sidong's interest was piqued.
"You said you hated me—now you don't? Little kitty, what are you even thinking?"
"Don't call me little kitty! I have a name!"
"Got it. ( ) Little kitty."He nodded seriously.
"…."
"After you kissed me publicly in the Star Dou Forest, Dai Mubai completely turned against me."
"In the two and a half years at Shrek Academy, we argued over a hundred times."
"I lost all patience with him."
"That was when I swore I'd find you and demand justice."
"Why did you kiss me—and not Xiao Wu or Ning Rongrong?"
Zhou Sidong rolled his eyes.
"Am I bored? One's a beast, the other hasn't finished developing."
"So… you're saying I developed well?"She glanced down at her devilish figure.
Fine. His taste was sharp.
"Now I understand. You kissed me back then so the me in the original world wouldn't end up with Dai Mubai."
"Exactly."Zhou Sidong nodded.
"I didn't want to travel worlds one day and see you walking beside him. That would hurt."
This time—he gambled right.
That kiss shattered Dai Mubai's mentality completely.
"So you got what you wanted?""We didn't end up with Dai Mubai—and came to your world instead."
"Are you satisfied?"
"I am. Very."
"Now hurry up and absorb the soul bones while there's time."
Just as she was about to speak, dark clouds rolled across the sky.
A ten-meter-long Ghost Tiger leaped overhead.
It landed beside the corpse of another Ghost Tiger, sniffed it—then its eyes turned blood-red as it glared at the three of them.
"This is bad," Zhu Zhuqing sighed."That might be the dead one's parent."
"This one just entered the ten-thousand-year level," Zhou Sidong said calmly."Perfect for a fifth soul ring—if only it hadn't shown up too early."
"ROAR!"
The Ghost Tiger split into two—its innate skill: Clone.
"Careful!"Zhu Zhuqing leaped forward, attacking one of them.
But as she struck—it vanished.
The other silently appeared behind "Zhu Zhuqing," jaws opening wide—
At that instant, Zhou Sidong stepped forward without hesitation.
In her shocked gaze, the Ghost Tiger clamped down on his arm.
"Zhou Sidong! Why would you do that?!"
Yet Zhu Zhuqing remained calm.
She noticed—No blood.No movement.
The Ghost Tiger panicked, biting harder—still nothing.
Zhou Sidong's body had long surpassed all soul masters. Combined with the Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum, his body was nearly indestructible.
She was shaken.
Her four soul rings lit up—her eyes razor-sharp.
She punched.
The Ghost Tiger was sent flying.
"Third Soul Skill—Nether Slash!"
Purple blade-hands shredded the beast mercilessly.
Zhou Sidong smiled, shaking his unharmed arm.
"Looks like the little kitty still cares."
"How did I ever fall for you?"Zhu Zhuqing sighed.
The Ghost Tiger lay dead.
"I—killed it…"A black ten-thousand-year soul ring rose.
"I'm the only one allowed to mess with that bastard!""What if he died—who would I torment then?!"
She regained her cool and walked over.
"You okay?"
"Just my clothes," Zhou Sidong grinned.
"…."
Later, she learned—
He had killed a 60,000-year Three-Eyed Demon Fox while secretly protecting them.
One of the soul bones was from it.
"…Thanks."
That night, under the moonlight, she absorbed both soul bones.
Her soul power surged to Level 50.
The next day—She obtained her fifth soul ring.
A newly ten-thousand-year Spotted Shadow Cat.
Fifth Soul Skill: Shadow Assault.
Her soul power rose to Level 53.
When asked to join the competition—
She hesitated.
But Zhu Zhuqing smiled.
"We're Soul Kings now. What's there to fear?"
She nodded.
Then Zhou Sidong stepped forward.
"I think I can handle it alone."
"No!"Both Zhu Zhuqings said in unison.
