Ning Rongrong was stunned, looking at Zhu Zhuqing in surprise, and asked, "Aren't you going to ask me why?"
Zhu Zhuqing smiled and said, "Since you've already decided, why should I ask again? Everyone has their own choices, don't they?"
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Ning Rongrong's heart trembled violently. She asked uncertainly, "Zhuqing, you've also come back, right?"
Zhu Zhuqing smiled and nodded gently, "That's right, it seems you've also come back!!!"
"Then why aren't you returning to Shrek with me?" Ning Rongrong asked, puzzled!
Zhu Zhuqing sneered and said, "Go back? Go back for what? To start over? To scheme against Huo Yuhao again?"
Zhu Zhuqing paused, her eyes flashing with a hint of hatred. She continued, "Rongrong, I personally saw how Dai Mubai and Tang San schemed against Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao's character was quite good, but Tang San's actions were truly infuriating. Yet I still stood by Tang San without hesitation, and in the end, I ended up returning to ten thousand years ago. This can be considered repaying Tang San's kindness to me back then. So in this life, I only want to live for myself!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong nodded lightly and mocked, "Tang San's actions were indeed excessive. To set up the Son of Fortune, splitting Wutong's soul was one thing, but he even put a lock on her!!!"
Zhu Zhuqing sneered, "Yes, Tang Wutong is his daughter, so no matter how excessive Tang San's actions are, we can't control them. But Huo Yuhao is innocent!"
Ning Rongrong said, "This matter is indeed Tang San's fault! I didn't expect Huo Yuhao to have a trick up his sleeve; he probably discovered something was wrong long ago! But this matter shouldn't be related to Dai Mubai, right?"
"Hmph, Dai Mubai isn't a good person either. They're two of a kind!!!" Zhu Zhuqing said angrily.
Although Dai Mubai was not deeply involved, he was indeed Tang San's accomplice. Moreover, Dai Mubai was Huo Yuhao's ancestor, which made Zhu Zhuqing feel incredibly disgusted!
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's face full of anger, Ning Rongrong awkwardly said, "I understand your choice, but Zhuqing, after so many years of feelings, can't you give them a chance?"
"A chance? Did I not give enough chances in my last life? In this life, I don't want to continue like this. I want to control my own life!!!" Zhu Zhuqing said indifferently, her expression incredibly firm!
Ning Rongrong looked deeply at Zhu Zhuqing and asked, "Is it for Lin Chen?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's firm expression became confused. Her red lips parted, and she said, "I... I don't know!!!"
In this life, Zhu Zhuqing was utterly devoted to Lin Chen, even abandoning her fiancé to elope with Lin Chen.
Recalling her past life's memories, Zhu Zhuqing had no idea how to face Lin Chen. Her feelings for Lin Chen were very complex. Perhaps inheriting the emotions of this life, she knew in her heart that she liked Lin Chen, but at this moment, she was not that innocent, pure girl, but the God of Speed from ten thousand years later!
Ning Rongrong sighed and said, "You can indeed let go of the past, but I can't. Little Ao is very good to me..."
Recalling every bit of her past life, Ning Rongrong wished she could return to Oscar's side right now and rekindle their relationship!
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and said, "I understand, but Rongrong, I advise you to think it over carefully. Don't you feel that this World has changed?"
Ning Rongrong said with a blank expression, "It has indeed changed, I've noticed it too. Not only did we both leave Shrek, but we also joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy! Oh... no, it's Tianwen Academy now. And the current Heaven Dou Empire has also become unrecognizable. If nothing unexpected happens, the Heaven Dou throne has already been taken by Qian Renxue!"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently and said, "The changes are not just these!!!"
As she spoke, the phantom of a Hell Civet flickered around Zhu Zhuqing's body. Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing in confusion, but she soon smelled a faint floral fragrance!
"Is this... an Immortal Herb?" Ning Rongrong asked uncertainly.
"That's right, Lin Chen gave it to me!" Zhu Zhuqing said.
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong's expression became even more bewildered. Obviously, the Immortal Herb from the previous life had been obtained by Lin Chen, and the reason why their group of people could become gods, besides relying on Tang San's help, the Immortal Herb was also a crucial factor. Otherwise, even if Tang San cheated, without such talent, they couldn't have become gods.
And now, the Immortal Herb had no connection with Shrek, and her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could not evolve into a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which meant she couldn't become a god, couldn't have endless life. And Ning Rongrong's lifespan was much shorter than Oscar's. As long as Oscar worked hard, there was still hope for him to become a Titled Douluo, but what about her? Let alone becoming a god, she couldn't even become a Spirit Douluo in this lifetime!
Upon learning the truth, Ning Rongrong collapsed. She leaned weakly on the sofa, tears shimmering in her eyes!
Compared to Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing was very calm. Even if she didn't obtain the Immortal Herb in this life, she still wanted to live for herself again. It was just Lin Chen's matter that gave her a headache; she simply didn't know how to face Lin Chen.
And Lin Chen's stance was already very clear; he clearly stood with Spirit Hall, but these things weren't that important!
Recalling every moment she spent with Lin Chen, Zhu Zhuqing also understood how terrifying Lin Chen's talent was.
Lin Chen's talent was high enough, but he also possessed unparalleled wisdom. Such an excellent Lin Chen made Zhu Zhuqing even more unsure of how to face him.
The support between a couple is mutual, but even Zhu Zhuqing, with her ten thousand years of experience, couldn't help Lin Chen in the slightest.
Although Douluo Continent ten thousand years later had powerful spirit tool technology, the Shrek group of people didn't research spirit tools much, which was also a very funny thing. Even Tang San, who loved Hidden Weapons, disdained spirit tools and only researched those schemes and conspiracies.
Secondly, Zhu Zhuqing also didn't want to face this relationship. With her past life memories, she wasn't sure if she could fall in love with Lin Chen. Perhaps the longer one lives, the more selfish one becomes!
After an unknown amount of time, Ning Rongrong finally came to her senses. She wiped the tears from her face and whispered, "I still decide to return to Shrek. I... I can't let go of Little Ao!"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded. Since Ning Rongrong had already made her choice, she didn't try to persuade her further. Zhu Zhuqing whispered, "Take care! Rongrong..."
...
Night fell, and the bright moonlight shone down on the land of Douluo Continent, cloaking it in a silver veil.
Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City, in the magnificent Prince's Mansion, a blonde man sat blankly on the bed. Gradually, his expression turned ferocious...
