Xiao Wu nodded to Fu Qin with a reassuring look in her eyes, then half-supported and half-helped Ning Rongrong turn around.
"Come back to your room with me to rest. Girls need to take good care of themselves."
The two figures quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor, leaving Fu Qin standing alone, lost in thought.
Not far away by the washbasin, Zhu Zhuqing had just splashed cold water on her cheeks, her cool skin flushed red.
She took it all in, watching Ning Rongrong being embraced by Fu Qin, and seeing the deep affection between the two, a strange sense of envy rose in her heart.
Fu Qin's gentleness, strength, and sense of responsibility had already left an imprint on her heart, but her engagement was like an invisible shackle, reminding her that she was Dai Mubai's fiancée, leaving her without even the right to express her feelings.
Her eyes were incredibly complex, filled with longing, resentment, and a hint of unspeakable bitterness.
Fu Qin keenly caught Zhu Zhuqing's gaze, but he didn't interpret it too much, and simply smiled heartily at her.
His smile was clean and open, yet it made Zhu Zhuqing's heart skip a beat. She quickly lowered her head, pretending to continue tidying her clothes, her ears turning slightly red.
Fifteen minutes later, the assembly whistle rang out precisely on the Shrek Academy playground.
As everyone arrived, Fu Qin immediately spotted Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong standing together.
The two stood side by side, whispering to each other, occasionally exchanging glances. Their understanding was unwavering, and their relationship was clearly much closer than before.
To Fu Qin's surprise, Ning Rongrong's face no longer showed the fear and vulnerability she had shown in the morning; instead, it was as charming and lively as ever.
It was as if the memories and tender moments of last night were just a dream, and she showed no sign of anything unusual to anyone else.
She even winked at Fu Qin as usual, her eyes filled with a shyness and dependence that only the two of them knew.
Fu Qin secretly praised her, thinking that this girl was indeed clever, knowing to hide her strength and memories before the situation became clear.
He glanced at everyone present without making a sound. Tang San remained as gentle and composed as ever, his eyes full of trust as he looked at him.
Dai Mubai, supporting his lower back, his face still somewhat pale, looked at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing with a hint of barely perceptible greed in his eyes.
Ma Hongjun looked around, his eyes clouded.
Oscar stood at the back, a fake smile on his lips, and deep in his eyes as he looked at Fu Qin, a flame of jealousy almost burned out.
Just then, lines of small text suddenly popped up on Fu Qin's system panel. These were Ning Rongrong's suppressed feelings, appearing on the panel.
【In my past life... towards the end of the Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect arc, that eerie black shadow suddenly appeared. It was too powerful; Zhu Qing and I were no match for it at all, and we were directly possessed...】
【We died long ago! What remained in the realm of gods were merely bodies controlled by a shadowy figure; no wonder no one noticed...】
【Oscar! Dai Mubai! You two beasts! You actually dared to consort with those priests right in front of me and Zhu Qing! In my past life, I considered you my husband and companions! But Zhu Qing hasn't regained her memories; she still harbors expectations of Dai Mubai...】
Fu Qin's eyes instantly turned to confusion.
The truth behind Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's deaths is that they were possessed by a dark shadow.
Oscar and Dai Mubai actually did such despicable things in their past lives, playing with the priests in front of the main figures. This is simply... too perverted.
Even Cao Cao, a traitor who had a penchant for married women, felt that their behavior was perverted.
...
Shrek Stadium.
The morning breeze ruffled Ning Rongrong's hair, and she subconsciously touched the sparkling ring on her ring finger.
This is an auxiliary magical artifact that Fu Qin crafted for her using scraps of a thousand-year-old soul bone.
After awakening her past life memories, the hatred and fear in her heart almost made her lose control, but the cold touch from her fingertips quickly calmed her down.
If those two beasts, Dai Mubai and Oscar, knew that she had regained her memories, they would definitely take action. She had to remain still and wait for the best opportunity.
Moreover, the Oscars are now largely deserted by the public.
His selfish act of betraying his teammates left Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai with only a superficial relationship with him. Ning Rongrong could clearly feel that the people around her looked at Oscar with disdain.
This situation rekindled hope in her heart.
If she could just add fuel to the fire and completely crush that scoundrel under her feet, she could be openly with Fu Qin without having to hide it anymore.
She turned her head to look at Xiao Wu beside her, and the two exchanged a knowing glance.
Last night, after Xiao Wu helped her back to her room, she subtly revealed Oscar's despicable behavior in his previous life, especially his humiliating past of playing with priests in front of everyone.
Xiao Wu was furious upon hearing this and immediately formed an alliance with her.
"Rongrong, don't worry, we will definitely protect Zhuqing and never let her be defiled by that bastard Dai Mubai again!"
The two maintained a tacit understanding and remained silent about their respective entanglements with Fu Qin.
Xiao Wu cherishes her alliance with Ning Rongrong, and Ning Rongrong understands that unity is the most important thing at this moment, and personal feelings can be put aside for the time being.
Just then, a steady sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the playground.
Dean Flander walked in front, followed by a man with a short haircut and sharp eyes, dressed in a simple long robe. This man was his close friend, the wise wing of the Golden Iron Triangle, and Tang San's master, Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang's gaze swept across the entire room, and when it landed on Fu Qin, a satisfied smile flashed in his eyes.
He had learned that Fu Qin was not only incredibly strong, but had also saved Tang San's life in the Star Dou Great Forest. He was also meticulous, loyal, and a rare talent.
Not long after.
Flanders whispered in his ear the story of the Starry Forest.
When Tang San insisted on absorbing the 3,800-year-old Soul Devouring Spider Soul Ring, he almost exploded and died. He only survived by chance because Fu Qin replaced him with the 100-year-old Lonely Bamboo Soul Bone. At that moment, Yu Xiaogang's face darkened instantly.
His gaze toward Tang San was full of disappointment and frustration, and his tone was stern.
"You're too arrogant! Your status as the reincarnation of a God King is not a license for your recklessness. How could you possibly handle a spirit ring that exceeds your current age limit? If Fu Qin hadn't intervened, you would have been burst apart by the spirit ring already!"
Tang San lowered his head after being scolded.
While feeling grateful to Fu Qin, she looked down on Yu Xiaogang.
It was Fu Qin who saved him; what is Yu Xiaogang compared to that?
If it weren't for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind the other party, he would have quit long ago.
Today's training plan has also changed due to Yu Xiaogang's arrival.
All I can say is that Yu Xiaogang's training level was simply a pile of dissertations.
It has absolutely no nutritional value whatsoever.
However, Tang San and his companions were all seasoned veterans who had lived two lifetimes, and none of them uttered any complaints.
......
late at night.
A powerful pressure suddenly enveloped the wooden house where Flander and Zhao Wuji were.
Sensing this aura, the two men's expressions changed drastically, and they rushed outside.
A tall, dark figure slowly walked over; it was Tang Hao, who had just returned from the cave where Ah Yin was.
The smell of alcohol hadn't completely dissipated from him, but his eyes were sharp and piercing, making the air seem to freeze as he swept over the crowd.
