Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

Wang Teng stood at the door, somewhat hesitant.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at him, a half-smile playing on her lips, and asked, "You're not afraid of two-timing, but you're afraid of coming into my room?"

Wang Teng took a deep breath, touched his nose, and walked into Zhu Zhuqing's room somewhat awkwardly, closing the door behind him.

The room wasn't big, but it was very tidy and had a faint, pleasant fragrance.

What brings you here?

As Zhu Zhuqing spoke, she lit the oil lamp on the table.

The dim light flickered a few times, slowly illuminating the room and casting swaying shadows on the wall.

Wang Teng looked at her, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I plan to leave Shrek Academy."

"I came here today to tell you something."

After speaking, Wang Teng looked at Zhu Zhuqing, waiting for her reaction.

After listening, Zhu Zhuqing's expression didn't change much. She just looked at him quietly for a while before asking, "What do you want me to do?"

"Would you like to come with me?"

After taking a deep breath, Wang Teng solemnly asked this question.

Actually, Wang Teng knew this question was sudden, but he had to ask it.

Where is Rongrong?

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing did not answer directly, but instead asked a question in return.

At this moment, a complex emotion flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

"She's staying to complete the hidden weapon deal between the sect and Tang San."

Wang Teng explained.

"And you, what's your choice?"

After saying that, Wang Teng stared intently into Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

"..."

Zhu Zhuqing did not answer immediately. Her right hand tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic "tap-tap" sound.

The room was so quiet that only this sound could be heard, along with the two people's soft breathing.

For a moment, the two remained silent.

Wang Teng looked at Zhu Zhuqing, waiting.

He could sense Zhu Zhuqing's inner struggle.

After a while, Wang Teng asked again, "Are you willing to leave with me?"

"……you……"

Zhu Zhuqing finally spoke, her voice a little hoarse, "You should go by yourself."

"why?"

Wang Teng didn't expect Zhu Zhuqing to refuse.

He always thought that Zhu Zhuqing had given up on Dai Mubai and didn't have much attachment to Shrek Academy, so she should be willing to go with him.

Zhu Zhuqing turned her head away from Wang Teng, her voice as calm as if stating a fact: "If we leave with you, we will definitely be hunted down by the Star Luo Empire."

Chapter 198 An Unexpected Incident Before Leaving

"The Dai family and the Zhu family will never let us go."

"The Star Luo Empire will be our direct enemy."

"At that time, not only will I become enemies with my family, but I'm afraid I won't be able to ask them for the resources I need for cultivation as I used to."

"Besides, your strength is too weak, I see no hope at all."

"Besides, our relationship isn't at the point where I can give up everything and leave you without hesitation."

After saying this, Zhu Zhuqing turned her head away without hesitation, looking at the wall instead of Wang Teng.

Although Wang Teng knew that what Zhu Zhuqing said was true, he could rationally understand it.

However, hearing these words come out of her mouth still felt like a sharp stab to Wang Teng's heart, leaving him feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.

"call--"

"Suck--"

Wang Teng closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm himself down.

Then, he opened his eyes, stood up, and immediately turned and walked out.

Now that we have the answer, there is no point in staying any longer.

“Wang Teng…”

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly shouted.

Wang Teng immediately stopped, turned his back to Zhu Zhuqing, and waited for her to continue.

At this moment, the room fell silent again.

"……Take care of yourself."

After saying this, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief, and her shoulders relaxed slightly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng stood still, a wave of disappointment washing over him.

He didn't turn around, just nodded, and then opened the door without hesitation and walked out.

Outside the dormitory, a cool night breeze was blowing.

Wang Teng glanced back at the small house, imprinting everything around him in his mind.

The mud-brick house under the moonlight, the faint light shining from the window, and that figure who is thinking about something at this moment.

Then, Wang Teng walked out of Shrek Academy without looking back.

His footsteps rustled softly on the dirt road.

It was very dark at this time, and the road ahead was not very clear, but Wang Teng knew that the road was right under his feet.

Leaving this place, a wider world awaited him.

Immortal herbs, the Yin-Yang duality of ice and fire, and even greater power.

He has to fight for these things himself.

Soon, Wang Teng arrived at the entrance of Shrek Academy.

Night had fallen, and the moon hung in the sky, casting a soft glow.

Wang Teng originally thought that the academy gate would be deserted at this time, but he didn't expect to run into other people here.

At this moment, Xiao Wu and Tang San were standing at the door, seemingly preparing to go out shopping.

Xiao Wu, dressed in a pink dress, bounced around excitedly.

Tang San followed her with a look of doting affection.

On the other side, Oscar and Dai Mubai walked out arm in arm, chatting and laughing.

However, judging from the lewd smiles on their faces, it was obvious to anyone with a brain that they were talking about going to the red-light district for entertainment later.

Dai Mubai's eyes narrowed as he laughed, while Oscar occasionally let out a few cheeky laughs.

Why aren't you asleep this late?

Wang Teng looked at these guys who were clearly preparing for a night out and thought to himself.

It seems Soto has quite a vibrant nightlife.

"Hey, Wang Teng!"

Xiao Wu, with her sharp eyes, spotted Wang Teng and immediately waved her hand high in the air.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao San, Boss Dai, Oscar, hello everyone."

Wang Teng waved and said, "I didn't expect to run into you guys at this time."

Afterwards, the group naturally came together and prepared to leave the academy together.

Oscar patted Wang Teng on the shoulder and said with a smile, "What, you're out looking for fun too?"

Before Wang Teng could answer, suddenly—

"Wow—Boss Dai, mistress, I'm so miserable!"

The fat man's voice came from outside the school gate, it was so heart-wrenching, it was especially loud in the quiet night.

Everyone quickly looked in the direction from which the sound came.

They saw Ma Hongjun running towards them, crying and stumbling.

Its round body bounced as it ran, looking just like a rolling ball of flesh.

When the fat man got closer, everyone could see what he looked like. Ma Hongjun was in a terrible state.

His face was covered in bruises, and a red, swollen handprint on his left cheek was so clear it looked like it had been carved there.

Ma Hongjun's already chubby face was now even more swollen, and his eyes were almost squeezed into slits by the flesh.

While crying, Ma Hongjun casually flicked his snot to the side, not caring where it landed.

Looking at his body, it was even dirtier, his clothes were covered in mud and dust, and there were several bright footprints on his chest, obviously someone had stepped on him.

"Fatty, what's going on?"

Dai Mubai stopped Ma Hongjun and asked with a frown.

The others immediately gathered around, asking all sorts of questions.

"Wow—everyone, you absolutely have to help me get revenge!"

When Ma Hongjun saw everyone, he cried even harder, tears and snot streaming down his face.
