Zhu Zhuqing then introduced to Zhu Lu:
"Zhu Lu, she is my elder sister. Her name is—Zhu Zhuyun."
"Ah?"
Zhu Lu said with a face full of shock, "Isn't that the other Old Ancestor of our Zhu Family?"
"Both of you look exactly like the Old Ancestors of our Zhu Family and have the same names. You're actually sisters too?"
Zhu Zhuyun said somewhat helplessly, "We can't explain this to you right now. If you have the Opportunity in the future, you'll find out."
Zhu Zhuqing said calmly, "It's fine, we can just tell her."
"Zhu Lu, we are Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun, the two Old Ancestors of your Zhu Family. However, we come from another World. In that World, I am the same age as you are this year."
Zhu Lu:???
"Hmm?"
Not far away, Gu Yuena, Shui Yueer, and the others widened their eyes in surprise when they heard Zhu Zhuqing directly reveal the secret of the Group Chat.
[Gu Yuena 1: What's going on?]
[Gu Yuena 2: Did Zhu Zhuqing just tell Zhu Lu the secret of our Group Chat, saying they are people from another World?]
[Shui Yueer: Isn't there that, what do you call it, electric shock warning?]
[Snow Empress: There is, there is. Didn't the Ice Her Majesty the Empress from Douluo Dalu World 1 set the Group Chat record with a triple-strike warning?]
[Ice Her Majesty the Empress: Snow Empress, Everyone knows about that. You don't need to repeat it!]
[Bo Saixi: Then why is it that nothing happened when Zhuqing said it directly, but others get shocked if they talk?]
[Group Member Number Nine: Do you guys think Su Yan can tell others about the Group Chat?]
[Dugu Yan: Are you doubting our Her Majesty the Empress?]
[Ning Rongrong: Do you think there's a possibility that the Group Chat's restrictions have been lifted?]
[Liu Erlong:???]
[Ice Her Majesty the Empress: Really?]
[Snow Empress: Can we talk about it now?]
[Ning Rongrong: Just kidding. The Administrator can say whatever they want, but those who aren't Administrators still can't mention it to anyone outside the Group Chat.]
While Everyone in the group was talking, Zhu Lu was already so shocked she was speechless.
Old Ancestors from another World?
Another World?
After being shocked for a long while, Zhu Lu suddenly blurted out, "Is there a 'me' in that other World?"
"Huh?"
This question completely stunned Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun.
"You?"
"In the other World, I'm only as old as you are now. Your grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather hasn't even been born yet, so where would you come from!"
"Then..."
Zhu Lu suddenly looked at Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong nearby and asked the two: "Then Old AncestorXiao Wu and Old AncestorNing Rongrong from the Shrek Seven Devils, are they real too?"
"Yes!"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded.
Zhu Lu looked at Liu Erlong, Shui Yueer, and the others again.
"Are they too?"
Zhu Lu seemed to understand; if her two Old Ancestors weren't lying to her, then everything clicked.
These people were all real—a group of people from ten thousand years ago appearing ten thousand years later.
"Does your World have a Tang San?"
"Heh!"
Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Anyone could be missing, but definitely not Tang San and Yu Xiaogang. We used to beat them up every day before we came here."
While Everyone was chatting, Big Silly Cat couldn't take it anymore and shouted:
"Since we have so many new friends together today, let's go have a big feast!"
"No!"
"With so many friends here this time, we have to feast for at least three... no, five days!"
...
In the evening.
After the group finished eating, they strolled through Shrek City.
But before they finished their stroll.
Liu Erlong and Tang Yuehua had just finished buying new clothes and jewelry when they noticed Su Yan was gone.
"Wait, what?"
"He was just here?"
"Who?"
Ling Yuan looked at the two of them with confusion.
Liu Erlong said anxiously:
"Su Yan!"
"Yuehua and I have already prepared our outfits."
"Awoo!"
Big Silly Cat, eating a candied hawthorn, replied, "I think I heard them say Ma Xiaotao's evil fire backfired, so she dragged Su Yan back to resolve the issue."
"What?"
Liu Erlong said speechlessly, "Why didn't she have a backlash earlier or later? Why did it have to start just when it was almost our turn?"
Ling Yuan said with a half-smile, "Because an early backlash is useless, and a late one is too. It can only happen at this exact moment!"
Anyway.
At the largest hotel in Shrek City.
Su Yan's group had originally booked it... no, it was temporarily requisitioned by Shrek Academy.
Ma Xiaotao impatiently dragged Su Yan back alone, shouting with a feigned look of distress:
"Quick!"
"Su Yan, I'm about to lose control of my evil fire! If you don't help me resolve it, I'll... evolve into the Evil Soul MasterFire Phoenix Saintess!"
Su Yan said solemnly, "Is it really that urgent?"
"Fortunately, I have a Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower here. It can purify your evil fire all at once, and you'll be completely free from its troubles forever."
Ma Xiaotao had been secretly delighted, thinking she'd found an Opportunity to Cultivate the Spirit Fusion Skill with Su Yan, but she was stunned when she saw the Immortal Herb he suddenly produced.
Wait?
This isn't how the plot is supposed to go, right?
Ma Xiaotao froze for a moment, then suddenly realized Su Yan was looking at her with a knowing smile.
"How hateful!"
"You bad guy, full of wicked ideas! You're actually teasing me?"
"I don't care! I want to Cultivate the Spirit Fusion Skill with you today... I don't want any Immortal Herb."
"I'm very fired up right now!"
After saying that, Ma Xiaotao pushed Su Yan down, activated her own Spirit, helped Su Yan activate his, and rushed forward to begin Cultivating the Spirit Fusion Skill.
This left Su Yan completely bewildered.
"Wait... wait a second..."
"How can we just start Cultivating like this? Cultivating a Spirit Fusion Skill requires foreplay. Most importantly, 'when the water comes, the channel is formed.' Do you understand?"
"If the water hasn't arrived, how can we enter Cultivation?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Su Yan's words, Ma Xiaotao paused and replied, "No wonder the Cultivation wasn't successful, and entering it was so difficult and painful."
"Then how should we enter Cultivation?"
Su Yan taught her earnestly, "I already said, Cultivating a Spirit Fusion Skill can't be rushed. It needs to be done step by step."
"As they say, 'the boat will naturally straighten itself when it reaches the bridge,' but! A boat needs water to straighten. When the water flows, the channel is formed; only with water can the boat sail."
Ma Xiaotao learned humbly and let Su Yan reach out to familiarize himself with her Spirit, while she closed her eyes to sense it deeply.
Su Yan was very satisfied with Ma Xiaotao's humble attitude. He placed his hand on her head and said:
"What you said just now was wrong. That shouldn't have been said by you, but by me!"
"I'm very fired up right now!"
