Chapter 32 As Long As the Hoe Is Wielded Well, No Wall Corner Cannot Be Dug Down!
The former site of Holy Spirit Village, Ziwei Palace.
In the Ziwei Palace, in front of the Ziwei Hall, there was a garden planted with various bright flowers.
In the middle of the garden, there was a gravel path. Emerald green flowers and trees were planted beside the path. Under the illumination of the sun, they reflected a green light that was intense to the point of being unsettling.
At this time, a purple-clothed youth with a tall body like jade and eyes like stars was accompanying a cold and beautiful young girl in a tight black dress. They walked leisurely along the gravel path toward the front hall of the Ziwei Hall.
This pair of Golden Boy and Jade Girl was precisely Zhou Chen and Zhu Zhuqing.
After that battle in the dense forest yesterday, Zhou Chen invited the still-shaken Zhu Zhuqing to come to the Ziwei Palace as a guest.
Originally, Zhu Zhuqing was not very willing, as she still had to search for Dai Mubai. However, Zhou Chen was her savior after all, and he was very good-looking, so he should not be a bad person.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhu Zhuqing agreed.
"Zhuqing, if you are not busy, you might as well stay for 2 more days. It would allow me to fulfill the duties of a host."
Zhou Chen spoke affectionately, but his expression was serious. This inconsistency between his words and actions confused the young girl who was inexperienced in the ways of the world.
If you said he was like a licking dog, he kept a distance from you and looked like a man of integrity.
If you said he was not interested in you, he addressed you very intimately.
If Zhu Zhuqing were a transmigrator from the modern Earth, perhaps she would know that this kind of boy had a scientific name, called a Sea Dog.
The somewhat confused Zhu Zhuqing did not have time to think in detail and answered passively, "No, I will leave today to head to Shrek Academy."
"Shrek?"
Zhou Chen pretended to be very surprised and said, "Are you talking about that Monster Academy that only recruits geniuses?"
"Mm-hm, you also know of it?"
Unlike the performance artist Zhou Chen, Zhu Zhuqing was truly surprised.
Because Shrek Academy's reputation was not prominent, and it did not even have formal qualifications or a business license. If not for the fact that Dai Mubai went there, it would have been impossible for her to notice this poor and broken academy.
Seeing that he had successfully aroused Zhu Zhuqing's curiosity, Zhou Chen immediately threw out the mental draft he had prepared long ago. "Of course I know. Elder Yu Xiaogang of our Ziwei Palace is a life-and-death friend of the Dean of Shrek Academy. If you want to join Shrek, I can help recommend you."
"Really?"
The ignorant young girl Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up. Immediately, they dimmed again as she shook her head and said, "No need, that would trouble you too much. I can rely on my own hard work."
"It is no trouble."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Coincidentally, I have 2 younger siblings, Tang San and Xiao Wu. The 2 of them are also going to Shrek Academy to study. We can take you along on the way."
"Then... alright."
Zhu Zhuqing thought about it and did not find any suspicious points, so she agreed.
However, what she did not know was that Tang San and Xiao Wu were indeed going to Shrek Academy, but they had already set off several days ago.
If she wanted to go "along the way", she could only go along the way with Zhou Chen.
Mm, to be honest, Zhou Chen just wanted to pursue Zhu Zhuqing. Moreover, both for public and private reasons, he should pursue Zhu Zhuqing.
From a public perspective, Zhu Zhuqing was beautiful, had high talent, and the quality of her Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul was quite high.
With Zhou Chen's nurturing, it would be easy for Zhu Zhuqing to become a Soul King in 3 years and a Soul Sage in 5 years. In less than 10 years, she would be able to break through to Title Douluo!
At that time, she could be counted as a major aid by Zhou Chen's side. She would have a profound influence on the situation of the entire Douluo plane.
From a private perspective, the relationship between Zhou Chen and the Star Luo Imperial Family was already like water and fire, ceasing only in death. He would not let slip any opportunity to cause trouble for the Star Luo Imperial Family!
And Zhu Zhuqing was the fiancée of the Star Luo 3rd Prince, Dai Mubai. Prying her away from Dai Mubai's side was equivalent to giving the Star Luo Imperial Family a glowing green emerald crown!
Just thinking about the mood of the people of the Star Luo Imperial Family at that time made Zhou Chen feel very satisfied.
There was no helping it; he was just petty. He liked to build his own happiness upon the pain of his mortal enemies.
Who asked the people of the Star Luo Imperial Family to be so cruel and vicious, using any means necessary? Why did they insist on laying murderous hands on him, this kind and cute boy?
This was retribution!
As for Zhu Zhuqing's deep affection for Dai Mubai?
Hehe, the current Dai Mubai was precisely in the vile stage of eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling.
In the original plot, Zhu Zhuqing, who rushed 10,000 li to Shrek Academy, was unusually disappointed and dissatisfied upon seeing Dai Mubai so unfaithful and decadent. She was in a cold war with Dai Mubai for a long time before slowly reconciling.
And this period of cold war between the 2 was enough for Zhou Chen to take advantage of the void and enter.
Moreover, even if this move did not work, Zhou Chen had other methods.
For example, directly making a move to kill Dai Mubai.
In any case, Zhou Chen and the Star Luo Imperial Family were mortal enemies. Those who kill will be killed. Zhou Chen had no psychological burden at all in killing an enemy.
Of course, this was the last resort.
Zhou Chen did not believe that his skill in pursuing her would be worse than Dai Mubai, a semi-illiterate who had not even received 9 years of compulsory education.
That saying circulating among the vast number of transmigrators in the multiverse made a lot of sense:
As long as the hoe is wielded well, no wall corner cannot be dug down!
