Chapter 39: This Circle is too chaotic
Zhongli, Paimon, and Zhu Zhuqing headed towards the Seven Treasures Hotel. Not far away, there were two more figures, one of whom was gripping the other tightly.
"Boss Dai, calm down!"
"You need to calm down!!"
"They, they might really just be going for a meal?"
This comment only made things worse; Dai Mubai's face turned green!
Zhu Zhuqing looks like that, and any normal man wouldn't be able to resist, right?
Just a meal?
Screw that!
"Fatty, don't worry, I'm frighteningly calm right now."
Dai Mubai wasn't stupid. He knew that Zhongli was a Title Douluo, so rushing up to confront him would be seeking death.
He had watched the whole process and knew it was that damned Zhu Zhuqing who had willingly approached Zhongli!
Damn it, she acted all cold and aloof in front of him, but when facing Zhongli, her eyes sparkled with longing!
She looked like she couldn't wait to throw herself into his arms.
Especially those several glances back, full of emotion; Paimon was talking to her, but she kept looking at Zhongli!
"Good, as long as you're calm."
"Boss Dai, you can't blame His Excellency Zhongli; it's Zhu Zhuqing from your family who..."
At this point, Ma Hongjun didn't continue because he saw the murderous look in Dai Mubai's eyes.
"If you can't speak properly, sew your mouth shut!"
After snapping at Fatty, Dai Mubai said viciously, "Damn Zhu Zhuqing, fine!"
"Just fine!"
He was so angry he laughed!
He had just come from Tang San's place, found Ma Hongjun, and intended to go drinking with him.
It was said that alcohol could ease all worries, so he planned to drink a lot.
As for doing something wild, that was just a spur-of-the-moment anger talking.
"Fatty, let's go eat chicken!"
"???"
Ma Hongjun was stunned, a bit confused.
Hadn't this blonde guy just said he wouldn't go?
Now he was stimulated?
"Fine by me, nobody likes me anyway, so it doesn't matter how I hang out with you."
"You, Fatty, acting like anyone dares to manage me!"
"I could take on ten!"
"Can you really?"
Ma Hongjun wasn't looking down on Dai Mubai; after all, they had known each other for so long. He knew Dai Mubai's state every time he returned from his escapades.
And considering they were roommates in Sotou City, there were no secrets between them.
Dai Mubai: "..."
"Zhu Zhuqing, you think you can play games? I'm even better at playing games than you!"
Dai Mubai snorted coldly and let Ma Hongjun lead the way to the nightlife spots.
Because of his martial spirit, Ma Hongjun had found those places as soon as he arrived in Heaven Dou City, so he naturally knew the way.
The two of them, with their arms around each other, turned and left.
In the dark, Flender shook his head and sighed, "Chaos, this circle is really chaotic."
"Xiao Bai too, and Zhu Zhuqing too."
"As the dean, I can't even say anything to them."
"But I have to admit, that girl Zhu Zhuqing has better taste. Hahaha..."
"Forget it, this kind of thing isn't something a little Soul Sage like me can manage; I'd better pretend I wasn't here."
Almost all the students had agreed to leave the academy together, and how could Flender, knowing they were troublemakers, not secretly follow?
To his surprise, he witnessed such a bizarre scene.
If only these students could be as dedicated as he was.
It's quite strange when you think about it. The older generation, weren't exactly good people but weren't promiscuous either.
At most, they taught the students how to cause trouble and gamble.
But these guys had surpassed them, not only causing trouble but also knowing how to "spend money." This was something the older generation didn't get!
After staying in place for a while, Flender finally turned and left. He didn't need to worry about Zhu Zhuqing's safety.
Following that man, there's no safer place to be. Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai are just going to those kinds of places, and as long as they pay, there won't be any problems.
Nothing will happen.
"Go back and cultivate well, strive to break through to level 80 soon."
Flender wasn't lacking in talent, but his cultivation progress had been slow due to the mess between Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang.
You have to know that in the original timeline, he managed to break through to level 93 purely through his own efforts without having anything else!
This alone shows his talent.
Now that Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang have reconciled, he feels at ease.
There aren't many in the entire Douluo Continent, no… in the entire world who could reach Flender's level of devotion.
As long as his goddess is happy, he doesn't care.
Damn it…
The scene shifts to Zhongli and the others.
After the three of them walked into the Seven Treasures Hotel, the owner was slightly taken aback, a bit surprised.
But he didn't ask anything, instead behaving as usual.
After all, he was a Soul Saint and a direct member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, so he was excellent at reading people's expressions.
After the three of them sat down in a private room, Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, not looking at her toes, but her eyes would occasionally sneak a glance at Zhongli.
"Miss Zhu Zhuqing, your eyes tell me that you seem to have known me for a long time. Can you tell me why?"
"Of course, if it's something difficult to talk about, you don't have to."
Zhongli put down the teacup in his hand and said to Zhu Zhuqing.
It was really too strange.
"Is it that obvious?"
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned and, after coming back to her senses, thought to herself.
"I…"
Zhu Zhuqing wanted to say something, but felt a lump in her throat.
Should she tell Zhongli that she had seen him in her dreams?
That they were quite good friends in those dreams?
It wasn't about whether Zhongli would believe it; she herself found it hard to believe.
Dreams are, after all, just dreams, and there will come a day when one wakes up.
You can't completely base reality on what happens in dreams.
"I…"
Zhu Zhuqing was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.
"This is our second meeting."
"But…"
Before Zhu Zhuqing could finish speaking, Paimon flew over to her and said, "Zhongli, Miss Zhu Zhuqing clearly has something on her mind, so don't ask her."
"Miss Zhu Zhuqing, if you have anything on your mind, you can tell Paimon. Paimon will absolutely not let it slip!"
Zhu Zhuqing: "..."
The courage she had painstakingly gathered was defeated by little Paimon.
"Miss Zhu Zhuqing, it's okay if you don't want to say more. I'm not the type to dig into others' secrets."
"Oh, Zhongli!"
"I was about to find out Miss Zhu Zhuqing's secret, don't interrupt!"
As soon as Paimon said this, both Zhongli and Zhu Zhuqing twitched the corners of their eyes. If Paimon hadn't interrupted, Zhu Zhuqing might have already revealed her secret!
Now that Paimon had interrupted, it was almost impossible to muster the courage to speak again!
Regarding this, Zhongli didn't press further; after all, it wasn't something important.
After a while…
