Chapter 56 The Injured Zhu Zhuqing
While waiting for the registration for Shrek Academy, Luo Ling had been observing.

Luo Ling looked through the entire Soto City.

Crows condensed by darkness roamed around the city, acting as Luo Ling's spies.

Unlike the original body of the Crow Shadow Puppet, these crows condensed from thin dark power are almost non-aggressive.

They could only execute simple monitoring commands to ensure that Tang San's whereabouts could be discovered as soon as possible.

Sitting in the room of the Rose Hotel, four days have passed, and there is still no trace of Tang San.

However, Luo Ling was not in a hurry. After all, according to the timeline of the original novel, Tang San arrived in Soto City shortly before registration.

While tasting the fine wine sent by the hotel, Luo Ling suddenly felt something and looked out the window.

In a corner of the city, a crow was staring at a girl.

The girl limped along the dark road, with a trace of blood on her leg, which was bandaged with messy black cloth.

Luo Ling pondered for a few seconds, and the girl in front of him gave him a strange sense of déjà vu.

I clearly haven't seen it, but it seems like I have seen it.

Especially that body with a baby face and big breasts.

Suddenly, a name appeared in Luo Ling's mind.

Zhu Zhuqing.

One of the Shrek Seven Devils, he escaped from the Xingluo Empire and finally evaded his sister's pursuit before coming to Soto City.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Luo Ling's face.

The crows were circling in the sky, the girl's appearance reflected in their bright red eyes.

The crow waited until the girl entered an inn before landing on the roof.

……

the next day.

Zhu Zhuqing checked out of the hotel and planned to go out for something to eat.

The injuries on her body have not yet fully recovered, and she spent a lot of money to find a healing soul master for treatment.

I didn't have much money with me when I ran away from home.

She didn't have much money left now. After paying the registration fee for Shrek Academy, she only had money left for food.

With a faint sigh, Zhu Zhuqing walked into a restaurant.

As soon as I walked in the door, I bumped into someone head-on.

When her body collided with a body with a strong masculine scent, Zhu Zhuqing instinctively stepped back.

The wound on his leg flared up at this moment, and he was unable to exert any strength and was about to fall down.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing felt someone embraced her.

Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes wide. From childhood to adulthood, when had she ever been hugged like this by a man other than her father?
She suddenly wanted to struggle hard.

"Sorry, ma'am, you are not hurt, are you?" a gentle voice came at this time.

Zhu Zhuqing, who was about to struggle to stand up, paused.

She looked up and saw the person in front of her.

With silver hair and red eyes, his appearance was perfect. She had to admit that he was the most handsome man she had ever seen.

After staring at the man in front of her for a long time, Zhu Zhuqing finally reacted. With a rosy face, she broke free from the man's arms and stood up.

"No...I'm fine!" Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath and returned to her indifferent look.

"Is it really okay? I see you seem injured?" Luo Ling asked, pretending to be worried.

He had been waiting for Zhu Zhuqing here for a long time.

He was now very sure that the girl in front of him was Zhu Zhuqing. She looked so much like what he had imagined.

With long black hair and a hot body, wouldn't it be a shame to leave her to that coward Dai Mubai?
"It's just a minor injury, it's nothing serious." Zhu Zhuqing replied, still looking indifferent.

Luo Ling nodded and didn't argue any further.

Excessive enthusiasm is a sign of ill intention, especially since the two of them just met?

Smiling at Zhu Zhuqing, Luo Ling said nothing more and pushed the door open to leave the restaurant.

Zhu Zhuqing also pretended to be expressionless and sat down in the restaurant. But at this moment, her heart was trembling slightly.

It was the first time she had physical contact with a man who was not her father, and she didn't feel any rejection.

Instead, I feel like I want to get closer.

She didn't know what was wrong with her until the waiter brought the food.

He started eating absentmindedly.

……

In the next few days, Luo Ling met Zhu Zhuqing twice, intentionally or unintentionally.

He even helped Zhu Zhuqing when she was teased because of her figure.

Although the opponent is only a one-ring soul master, Zhu Zhuqing will not be in danger even if he does not take action.

"Are you here to join Shrek Academy as well?" In a restaurant, after sending away the one-ring soul master who had lustful intentions, Luo Ling and Zhu Zhuqing came to the restaurant.

"You too?" Zhu Zhuqing was a little surprised.

Luo Ling doesn't look like he is 12 years old, and Shrek Academy only accepts students under 12 years old.

"I just came to take a look." Luo Ling smiled.

"This Shrek Academy claims that you can become a noble after graduation. I feel like it's a scam."

"They also said that one of the graduating students is an elder of the Spirit Hall, but to become an elder of the Spirit Hall one must be a Titled Douluo."

"How long has Shrek Academy been established? I've never heard of such a young elder."

Luo Ling explained word by word, and Zhu Zhuqing listened quietly with a frown on her face.

She came here just because she heard that Dai Mubai was here, but she had never investigated the real situation of Shrek Academy.

If it is true as Luo Ling said, it seems possible that this is a scam academy.

"If you're going to Shrek, you'd better be careful." Luo Ling said meaningfully.

"Thank you, I will be careful." Zhu Zhuqing nodded solemnly.

After dinner, the two left the restaurant one after the other.

Watching Zhu Zhuqing walking towards the remote forest, Luo Ling frowned in pretended confusion.

"Are you going to the forest over there?" he called out to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Yeah." Zhu Zhuqing nodded. After all, she had no money on her, so she could only find an empty place to make do.

"Aren't you afraid for a girl to go to such a remote place at night?"

Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed. She couldn't just tell the truth.

"Is there any difficulty?" Luo Ling pursued the victory.

After looking at Zhu Zhuqing for a long time, Luo Ling showed an expression as if he understood, and shook his head helplessly.

"Why don't you just come with me."

"I'm worried about you being a girl so late at night."

Luo Ling said this very frankly, and Zhu Zhuqing could not see any hypocrisy in it.

"Have you always been like this to girls?" Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Luo Ling chuckled and said jokingly, "Only for pretty girls."

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to react, but she didn't feel disgusted.

The man in front of her always gave her a friendly feeling, without any malice in his heart.

If someone else had said that, she might have turned away.

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing did not respond, Luo Ling directly took Zhu Zhuqing's hand and walked towards the Rose Hotel.

Zhu Zhuqing also did not resist for some unknown reason.

It was not until she reached the door of the Rose Hotel that Zhu Zhuqing reacted.

"Does this look like a love hotel?" She hesitated.

"What? Are you afraid that I will eat you?" Luo Ling looked at Zhu Zhuqing's majestic figure aggressively.
