NOVEL NEXT Chapter 38: Good Person Card
Listening to Dai Mubai's emotional issues, Tang San shrugged, indicating that he couldn't help and suggested Dai Mubai seek advice from someone more knowledgeable.
He had just sorted out his own feelings and had no idea what Dai Mubai was going through!
Everyone knew Dai Mubai was a playboy, but it seemed no one, especially the males in Shrek, took it seriously.
"Sigh~"
Dai Mubai sighed, and after a moment, he slammed his palm on the table.
With a "bang," the already fragile table's HP decreased by another point and shattered.
Tang San's eye twitched; that was his table!
Seeing Dai Mubai's angry expression, Tang San opened his mouth but swallowed his words.
"If Zhu Zhuqing doesn't appreciate me, then I'll act as if I don't have this fiancée!"
"Hmph, there are plenty of women in this world who will scream and cheer for me."
"A real man doesn't worry about finding a wife!"
After saying this loudly, Dai Mubai felt refreshed, and the gloominess lifted a bit.
It was truly Zhu Zhuqing's attitude that deeply hurt him, making him so angry.
"Xiao San, if the dean asks where I went, tell him right in front of Zhu Zhuqing that I went off to enjoy myself with Fatty!"
"Isn't that a bit too much?"
"What's wrong with it?"
"See you later!"
After saying this, Dai Mubai jumped out of the window and dashed off.
Tang San watched Dai Mubai's departing figure and murmured, "Luckily, Xiao Wu isn't like Zhu Zhuqing..."
The scene shifted to the gates of Heaven Dou City.
A tall and a small figure appeared, making the gate guards a bit dazed.
"Great, Zhongli, we're finally back!"
Paimon spread her arms as if to embrace the entire city of Heaven Dou.
During this journey, she had increasingly missed the food of Heaven Dou City.
"I wonder if Xue... Qinghe, yes, Qinghe, has missed us!"
"And the owner of the Seven Treasures Hotel."
"Ning Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect..."
"Aunt Wang who sells buns..."
Zhongli crossed his arms and slightly turned his head to look at the still chattering Paimon.
Paimon's memory seemed to be entirely occupied with people and food!
She forgot other things quickly but remembered the people she met and the food she liked.
"Zhongli, since we're finally back, let's have a big meal at the Seven Treasures Hotel!"
Paimon, with stars in her eyes, tentatively suggested to Zhongli.
She rubbed her hands together, her face full of anticipation, not hiding it at all.
"If you like, then let's go."
"Great!"
"Let's go, let's go, Seven Treasures Hotel!"
After receiving Zhongli's answer, Paimon was as excited as a child and flew towards the Seven Treasures Hotel.
Seeing this, Zhongli shook his head and silently followed behind Paimon.
The little one hadn't had any good food during this time and was somewhat pitiful.
"Zhongli, hurry up, hurry up, don't follow like an eighty-year-old man..."
At this point, Paimon paused, as if she had thought of something, and quickly swallowed the rest of her words.
Eighty-year-old man?
Was that a compliment on Zhongli's youth?
He was at least over six thousand years old!
As for Zhongli's actual age, no one but himself knew for sure.
It was said that he had witnessed the battle between the First Throne and the Second Throne...
"Hey, Zhongli, Paimon, how are you?"
Suddenly, a somewhat cool voice interrupted, bringing Paimon back to her senses.
She instinctively turned towards the source of the voice and found a girl with long, straight black hair.
This was a young girl, and judging by the childishness on her face, she was probably quite young. However, her height and figure were rather confusing.
"Huh, aren't you, aren't you that..."
"That Zhu Zhuqing?"
"Yes, it's Zhu Zhuqing! Paimon never forgets a face!"
Paimon put her hands on her hips and said proudly.
"Yes, I am Zhu Zhuqing."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded at Paimon, then turned her gaze towards Zhongli.
"Last time, only you stood up for us. You're a good person!"
Zhu Zhuqing had just averted her gaze when Paimon's words made her look back again.
"The way they acted was wrong. If I had the strength, I would have definitely taught them a lesson!"
After saying this, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Zhongli again.
"Oh, I see. Zhu Zhuqing, Zhongli and I were just about to go to the Seven Treasures Hotel for a meal. Do you need something?"
Zhu Zhuqing stayed silent, giving Paimon a slightly resentful glance. This little one, why did she meddle so much?
"No, I don't have anything."
"If there's nothing, would you like to join us for dinner?"
Paimon invited out of politeness, instinctively as she had when inviting Qian Renxue to eat. It was a courtesy.
Of course, if the other party wanted to join, Paimon wouldn't mind either. It would make the meal more lively.
After all, she wasn't paying, Zhongli was!
Upon hearing this, the resentment in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes disappeared. Why hadn't she noticed how cute Paimon was before?
"I don't mind. I'm just not sure if I'll be intruding."
"No, not at all, right, Zhongli?"
With the work of the "God's Mouth" done, the scene shifted to Zhongli.
"If the young lady doesn't mind and has the time, then you are welcome to join."
"Why would I mind..."
"I have plenty of time!"
Paimon: "???"
For some reason, Paimon felt that things weren't so simple!
This Zhu Zhuqing, the way she looked at Zhongli was almost like she was smitten. It was really confusing!
Zhu Zhuqing, after her cultivation, had walked out of Blue Tyrant Academy to take a break.
That environment wasn't very suitable for her, filled with falseness and pretense.
Ever since her last meeting with Zhongli, the dreams that had been "troubling" her had mysteriously disappeared, leaving Zhu Zhuqing puzzled.
She wanted to see Zhongli again to see if the dreams would return and, if possible, to become friends with him as in the dreams.
Yes, just friends, purely friends.
In the dreams, Zhongli was very pure with her.
"How strange, first Qian Renxue, and now Zhu Zhuqing. What could be the reason?"
Given Zhongli's experience, he could naturally see the peculiarity in Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing.
Especially when Qian Renxue first met him, and also when Zhu Zhuqing first met him.
This was his second meeting with Zhu Zhuqing, yet the way she looked at him was as if she were looking at an "old friend."
How could Zhongli not be puzzled?
Although he was curious, Zhongli did not ask.
