Chapter 119: Where Are You Going Next

"Hum!"

Just as Zhu Zhuqing was sinking into self-pity, a pink mist suddenly drifted over silently...

"Bang..."

Zhu Zhuqing fell at the sound, landing directly in Qin Jian's arms.

Warm fragrance and soft jade.

"This little girl is still so energetic even when heavily injured, talking non-stop; it's better for her to go to sleep..."

A large pink rabbit landed in front of Qin Jian with a thud, and a front paw touched his forehead: "Finally home again. Now at level 31 soul power, I see it only just increased by one level, so is this little girl your third assessment?"

Qin Jian nodded, then held Zhu Zhuqing to let her lie down, and took a thin blanket out from his Soul Guidance Device to cover her.

Swish...

Only after doing this did he stand up and follow the Taitan Giant Ape and the pink rabbit toward the lake, while the Tianqing Niumang finally poked its bull head out from under the water.

"Xiao Qing, you've already broken up twice, how are you still so gentle?"

The pink rabbit transmitted the woman's voice into his mind: "With you like this, how painful must it be for those girls who were broken up with?"

Qin Jian curled his lips and said: "I'm just like this, what can I do? Aunt Da Wu, we are all Soul Beasts turned human, as pure as it gets, let's not judge each other."

"How have these days been? Are you happy?" the woman asked.

This is true family; what they care about is not how much your strength has increased, but whether you are happy or not.

Qin Jian sat down on a low rock by the lake, propped his chin with his hand, and sighed: "It's alright, the process was happy, and as for the breakups, it was much better than the first time..."

The pink rabbit leaned forward, a gossipy expression common to parents appearing on its rabbit face: "What? Is that little girl named Shui Bing'er not as likable to you as Ning Rongrong?"

"To say I treat them equally is of course impossible; after all, Rongrong was my first love and is my fiancée, Aunt Da Wu..."

Qin Jian looked at the lake and said gloomily: "For now, Bing'er and Rongrong each occupy a place in my heart; those are slightly different emotions, yet neither can be let go..."

"I really don't know what will happen in the future..."

He looked at the shimmering lake and sighed again: "I'm really becoming a scumbag..."

"Playing with one and tossing it is called being a scumbag; you can only be called... um..."

The pink rabbit scratched its head: "Polyamorous? You only date one at a time, so that can't be called polyamorous either?"

"Whatever..."

Qin Jian said silently: "I just want to live happily on the road to pursuing godhood, and then try my best not to let down those girls who have been waiting for me."

"Then what will you do next? Are you staying for a while?" the woman asked.

"Originally, I wanted to come back and stay for a month or two..."

Qin Jian shook his head helplessly and pointed toward Zhu Zhuqing: "But my third breakup target fell right beside me, so in a day or two, once she recovers, I have to leave..."

"Are you going wherever she goes?" the woman asked.

Qin Jian nodded and said: "I know where she is going, and what I have to do next... sigh... that is really hard to put into words..."

He covered his face and said: "I have to break up someone's childhood sweetheart engagement... and then snatch the person away..."

And Ning Rongrong will appear, Xiao Wu will appear; a massive Asura Field is slowly taking shape...

"I feel like the Shrek Team is going to be ruined by me..." Qin Jian muttered.

"Xiao Qing's life is truly getting more and more exciting; Auntie wants to follow along and see it, that feeling... is very interesting..."

The woman's intrigued voice made Qin Jian roll his eyes.

He felt as if he saw those middle-aged women from his past life waiting to binge-watch soap operas... As expected, the spiritual life of Soul Beasts is too lacking...

"Next time I'll be able to bring Xiao Wu back."

Qin Jian went from sitting on the low rock to lying on it.

"I'll sleep for a while... it's really so tiring..."

Under the moonlight, the youth slowly closed his eyes, and his breathing became heavy.

With the pink rabbit standing on his left, the Taitan Giant Ape crouching on his right, and the Tianqing Niumang in front, no one could compare to this guardian lineup...

Two days passed like this.

When Zhu Zhuqing was awake, Qin Jian would accompany her; when Zhu Zhuqing was asleep, he would run off to talk to Da Ming, Er Ming, and Aunt Da Wu.

By the third day, Zhu Zhuqing had fully recovered.

"Qin Jian, we can find a way to leave here now." She stood up and said to Qin Jian.

Having recovered, she returned to that cold expression, her pair of black eyes devoid of the slightest vitality, as if she couldn't see the future, which clashed somewhat with her extremely beautiful face.

Her long black hair draped over her shoulders, her skin was extremely fair, and a leather outfit completely outlined a figure far too mature for her age.

For such a girl, her appearance and temperament alone could drive people crazy.

"Hmm, we should go..." Qin Jian looked toward the lakeside again before turning back to say.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at him and said: "You seem to be a bit reluctant to leave?"

"Cough... you're overthinking it..."

Qin Jian waved his hand and said: "Let's go, I hope we won't encounter any troublesome Soul Beasts on the way."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and followed him away from here.

At this moment, Qin Jian suddenly glanced curiously behind her.

"What is it?" Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly.

"Um... don't you have a cat tail?" Qin Jian asked curiously.

He clearly remembered that Zhu Zhuqing should have had a tail...

"Cat... cat tail?"

Zhu Zhuqing said blankly: "Why would I have that?"

Qin Jian had a realization: "It seems that wasn't real; it was actually just an accessory..."

"What on earth are you talking about?" Zhu Zhuqing frowned and said.

"Ahem... nothing... let's go, let's go."

Zhu Zhuqing was slightly stunned as she looked at the bright smile appearing on his face.

In her initial impression, Qin Jian was an extremely cold and powerful youth.

But after spending these few days together, she had discovered one after another Qin Jian's thoughtfulness and gentleness, and the warm smile that often appeared on his face, all like a warm breeze, warming her cold heart.

"If Dai Mubai could also treat me like him..."

Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts stirred, but she then shook her head: "It won't happen, Dai Mubai doesn't have this kind of thing in him... he doesn't even have the courage to resist..."

"What are you thinking about?" Qin Jian suddenly asked.

Zhu Zhuqing was startled, then she looked up and asked: "Where do you plan to go next? Are you returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Qin Jian shook his head, looked at her and smiled: "I am not cultivating in the sect right now, I plan to go to an Advanced Spirit Academy for training next."

"Going to an Advanced Spirit Academy?"

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up.

According to what she had found out, Dai Mubai was currently at a place called Shrek Academy, which was also her destination.

Since that was the case...

"Do you have an academy you want to go to?" she asked with some trepidation in her heart.

Qin Jian shook his head and said: "Not yet."
