[Douluo] Dream of Thorns

"This kind of aura is not something that those who can't get on the stage can have." Liu Erlong pointed across a table to her posture that didn't feel disobedient among a group of nobles, and raised his eyebrows. "You and Zhuqing look like twins, the kind of light and dark."

"Holy and evil." Ma Hongjun added.Ning Rongrong snickered on the sidelines.

"Oh..." Ji Tong turned her eyes to the ceiling in embarrassment, being pulled together with Zhu Zhuqing for no reason made her feel a little hot. "Frankly speaking, I don't think the Nether Civet is so holy, and I don't think I can be compared with her. People in the royal family are not comparable to ordinary people like us."

"It can only be said that the contrast between thorns and roses is too strong." The master made a rare joke, and then turned the topic back to the main topic. "So Ji Tong, what level are you now?"

"Level 68." She said, "Is it a little slow? I have been condensing those energies that are not from the right source for the past year, but there is no progress."

The master looked at her blankly for a long time, waved his hands and turned his head away. "Why do I ask a thorny rose?" He said to himself, "Those soul masters are born monsters."

Ji Tong raised his eyebrows.

"These kids have clearly made great progress, but why don't I feel anything now?" Flender answered blankly, and then showed a characteristic treacherous smile. "By the way, you are the symbols of our Shrek Academy, so you can't come here in vain this time. Just do something for the academy, how about it?"

Several people looked at each other, and Tang San replied. "You speak."

"For a young soul master to cultivate, if he has an idol that suits him, it will be of great benefit psychologically." Flender tapped his pen on the table, "I am definitely not as good as Xiaogang in actual training, but this It’s okay to be psychologically sure. If you don’t object, I hope you can show your strength in front of the students of the whole academy; let them see what the same age can achieve.”

Liu Erlong rolled his eyes, making trouble out of habit. "Boss, this may also have a counterproductive effect. What if the students are stimulated and feel that they are too bad and become decadent?"

Flender suddenly turned serious, and answered her in an unfathomable tone as if he had prepared this question long ago. "Students like that are not worthy of our cultivation." As he said this, he suddenly increased his volume, "How about Xiao Gang, what do you think?"

The master smiled slightly. "You are the dean, you decide."

The teachers who were in power at the scene asked them one by one, and Flender felt quite satisfied.At this time, he finally remembered the other party, and slightly lowered his body to look at the faces of the Shreks.Dai Mubai smiled, and said: "I have no problem, I just want to see how far everyone has cultivated. It doesn't matter if you just show your strength, this is also a good time to see how everyone's real strength is." The rest of the people They also nodded, Tang San smiled and said: "It's just that Ji Tong's age must be hidden."

As the youngest girl with the highest rank, Jitong gave Tang San a sideways glance, and he suddenly felt a chill behind him.

"Okay, Erlong, you guys go and make arrangements." Flender smiled happily, "The little ones have their own things to do now, and we can't waste their time too much. In my opinion, let's arrange it tomorrow." Yes. You can visit the school today to see how much it has changed;" After he finished explaining, he turned to the Shrek people again, "You can live in the school if you want, your dormitories are still available!"

Ji Tong and Zhu Zhuqing looked at each other.

Although the two of them knew that they should have a talk now, they also politely declined Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun and others who came to invite people to visit the school's various mimetic areas, playgrounds, and various equipment, but never went to the cafeteria together. From the beginning of the meal to the end of the meal, as usual, one collected the plates and the other the tableware, and then washed their hands together and walked out the door. The two of them didn't say a word.Or, until they went back to the previous dormitory and locked the door, Zhu Zhuqing sat on the bed and Ji Tong opened the curtains, neither of them said a word.

No matter how low the emotional intelligence is, as long as you have eyes, you will know that this state is not right.Ji Tong took a deep breath, turned around and scanned the dormitory that was exactly the same as five years ago, suppressed the desire to do something big in his heart, and threw himself on the bed facing Zhu Zhuqing. "Tell me, Zhuqing." Her voice was a little low, "We all know that it is impossible for you to remember the incident five years ago for so long. I did more egregious things in the Royal Academy, didn't I?"

Just like even a woman like Hu Jinwei in the black street surrendered to Ji Tong, the new leader, Zhu Zhuqing's ability honed during the years when the Xingluo royal family borrowed swords to kill people was not enough to resist Ji Tong, who had killed countless people. Hitomi's sense of oppression.She shrank her body back, and opened her mouth somewhat uncertainly. "I don't know... Maybe I should stay away from you, Ji Tong."

"Stay away from me?" Ji Tong raised his eyebrows and repeated the phrase. "Oh, that's right. You are the noble daughter of Xingluo, and you are inextricably linked with the actual ruler of the empire; and I'm just a bastard, right? Of course, you should stay away from me, I'm not qualified to be with you date, huh?"

Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback. "Stop joking!" She raised her head and glanced at Ji Tong quickly, "I didn't mean that, okay Ji Tong! Besides, anyone with eyes can see that your status is not low. Do you think you are the kind of person in power? Is there still little aura to have? What's more, you are only now, and you still—”

"I'm still level 68." Ji Tong answered her words calmly. "I have talent, and I will become a strong person, so I am qualified to associate with you?" Her voice was terrifyingly calm, which reminded Zhu Zhuqing unconsciously of the last vulnerability she revealed before the storm in the dormitory five years ago. "You're right, Takekiyo. But why don't you say something else?"

She stood up and smoothed the folds of her skirt.Zhu Zhuqing looked at her coldly, watching Ji Tong walking from the opposite side step by step, the rhythm of his footsteps seemed to coincide with his own heartbeat.Her steps seemed to catch her heart—although it was not in the right time, but Zhu Zhuqing really thought so; and when Ji Tong's steps stopped in front of her bed and knelt down to look directly into her eyes, Zhu Zhuqing's heart beat It did stop for a beat.She took a breath unconsciously, and looked down at Ji Tong's eyes - they were like blood-stained rubies, with an indescribable color that captivated the soul.

"I will be a strong man, and I have my own power." Ji Tong raised his head slightly, stretched out his hand to push away Zhu Zhuqing's long hair that had slid down to cover his face, and then put his hand on her face. "But I'm not your classmate, your partner, your friend—so, you should stay away from me, right?"

Zhu Zhuqing barely knew when he looked, Ji Tong's voice had an indescribable magic power.It is so soft and fragile, but it seems to contain extremely powerful power; and once this soft appearance is broken, the uncontrollable demon behind it will lead her into the abyss.She stared at Ji Tong's watery eyes for a long time, then slapped her hand away. "Yes, I should stay away from you." She seemed to come back to herself suddenly, and her voice became firm; however, this firmness was illogical, and it sounded like self-hypnosis with the less rigid facial expression. "My partner should be Dai Mubai, there is no place for you here."

Ji Tong's eyes turned cold. "You said you regarded him as your brother."

Zhu Zhuqing's answer was very firm. "I will not fall in love with any man, he will be the closest to me."

Ji Tong looked at her fixedly, and Zhu Zhuqing's eyes told Ji Tong that what she said was true—at least the first half of the sentence was true.The corner of her lips suddenly opened into a slight smile again, but her eyes were indifferent: "You are avoiding me, Zhu Zhuqing. You are afraid of me."

"I didn't hide from you." Zhu Zhuqing replied, "The royal family and the fringe people, our life trajectories are different."

Ji Tong leaned over slightly, getting closer to her. "What if I could make the rest of our lives overlap?"

Zhu Zhuqing pursed his lips.This oppressive atmosphere made her heart arrhythmia, at least her heart beat faster - of course she would not admit that it was because Ji Tong was too close; although in fact, she might lose her thinking now looking at Ji Tong's rosy eyes ability.The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and then Zhu Zhuqing suddenly stood up and broke the deadlock: "So what, at least I don't need a partner who will disturb my heart during the battle! Dai Mubai is very suitable for me now!"

She said these words in a panic, and then ran away from the door.Ji Tong was still kneeling in front of her bed with dim eyes.

"She didn't call that little white cat Mubai." In the silence of the room, Ji Tong's voice seemed a little strange. "It seems that I won't need my blood this time around..."

"Run, Zhu Zhuqing. You will come back, I will let you, come back..."

At the same time, Dai Mubai was not in a good mood.

"Xiao San, you and Xiao Wu have such a good relationship, do you know how to coax a girl?" He was walking with Tang San in the mimicry training area at this time, and vomited bitterness to him. "You don't know, after Zhuqing returned to Xingluo, she was so indifferent, tsk..."

"What's the matter with you two?" Tang San raised his hand and interrupted him.

"She knew me when she was four or five years old." Dai Mubai held a piece of foxtail in his mouth, and his playful look completely destroyed his superior aura, "Before she was 12 years old, she hated me because I would Pull her to death; we were classmates when she was 12 years old, and then I seemed to have a little interest in her before she was 15 years old. After that, I chased her for three years, and this girl looked at me more and more like her every time Big Brother. Anyway, I resigned myself to my fate and spoiled me as my younger sister."

"You don't look like someone who can fall in love with someone." Tang San shrugged.

"It's really not that deep. I might prefer to work alone in troubled times." Dai Mubai didn't have any hurt expression on his face, "Oh, of course, it's not bad to work hard with a group of brothers. Love may be the icing on the cake."

"You should not be the only single nobleman." Tang San joked. "By the way, what did you say about Zhuqing?"

"Don't we have a lot of things to do?" Dai Mubai's tone was a bit complaining this time. "Sometimes I can see her staring at the window in a daze after working until midnight, and she doesn't respond to soul power stabs. I don't know if she misses you or who, and I haven't seen any boy who is free Let me recruit her. Those guys who know how to play tricks are basically useless. They have been coaxing like that for several days, who knows why they are not happy. It is difficult to spoil a younger sister... A woman's heart is such a thing, I really don't understand your brother."

"Uh..." Tang San didn't answer immediately.Just as Dai Mubai wanted to give him an elbow to bring Tang San back to his senses, when he turned his head, he saw Zhu Zhuqing walking over with shortness of breath as if wearing thorns all over.Thinking of what he said just now, Dai Mubai felt a little embarrassed, and stretched out his hand to say hello; but before his outstretched hand was in place, Zhu Zhuqing walked over quickly without even looking at him.At that moment, Tang San seemed to feel that the temperature around him was much lower, when he turned his head to look at Dai Mubai again, he saw him withdrawing his hand halfway in embarrassment, pointing at Zhu Zhuqing who had gone a long way. "Look... a woman's heart is really hard to understand."

Then Dai Mubai spat out the dogtail grass, and repeated it very sincerely.

"real."
