Chapter 26: Lower Your Head, and You Can't See Your Toes—A Peerless Beauty of the Mortal World!
"Tang San, Tang Hao, Zhao Wuji…"
"I'm going to the Spirit Hall to report all of you right now. Let's see if you still won't die then!"
In Heaven Dou City, a girl dressed in tight-fitting black clothes had eyes filled with killing intent.
Her talent was limited, and her strength was far inferior to Tang San's.
As for poison… Tang San was a true master of poison. Trying to poison him was simply too difficult.
She had to take revenge—she had to make Tang Hao and the others pay their blood debt with blood!
Even if it meant her own death, so what?
In her previous life, she had already died for love at the age of eleven or twelve.
Since she had already died once, dying again was nothing to be afraid of.
This black-haired, straight-haired girl was none other than Zhu Zhuqing.
She had "studied" at Shrek Academy for some time, yet never found a chance to make her move.
Not long ago, she accidentally learned that Tang Hao and Zhao Wuji were actually wanted criminals of the Spirit Hall!
With her talent and strength, revenge was nearly impossible.
But the Spirit Hall was different.
The Spirit Hall had experts as numerous as crossing carp—there was no doubt they could deal with Tang Hao and Tang San.
Zhu Zhuqing deliberately picked a chance to quarrel with Dai Mubai, then quietly left.
She didn't report Tang Hao and Zhao Wuji to the Spirit Sub-Hall in Suo Tuo City—those branch halls were no match for Tang Hao at all.
It had to be the Main Branch.
Zhu Zhuqing's departure was seen by the Shrek group as nothing more than a fit of anger. No one cared.
Not even Dai Mubai paid her any attention.
If Zhu Zhuqing didn't want to die, she would definitely come back to him!
Unfortunately, Dai Mubai didn't know that Zhu Zhuqing was already bent on death—she just wanted to drag the entire Shrek Academy and Tang Hao down with her before dying!
Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to see something and froze slightly.
"Li… Li-ge?"
As for Ning Rongrong, behind Wang Li, Zhu Zhuqing completely ignored her!
In this life, her Brother Li had never appeared in the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
She had thought he would never appear again.
Who could have imagined that he had simply "changed identities"?
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Zhuqing rushed up to Wang Li and—under the stunned gazes of Wang Li and Ning Rongrong—hugged him tightly.
"???"
"Zhu Zhuqing??"
Ning Rongrong "knew" Zhu Zhuqing. Her face was filled with shock, completely unable to understand what was happening.
Wait a second!
Damn it, Wang Li!!
"When I hugged you, you dodged and weaved like crazy—no matter what, I couldn't even touch you once!"
"But when Zhu Zhuqing hugs you, you don't dodge at all?!"
"Why aren't you using your footwork to kite her?!"
"What exactly are you doing?!"
Ning Rongrong clutched her head with both hands, completely losing her mind!
So angry—really, so angry!
"Brother Li… I finally… found you."
Ning Rongrong: "???"
Wang Li: "!!!"
With just that single sentence, Wang Li froze for a moment, then glanced at Ning Rongrong—and suddenly understood everything.
This girl had also "reincarnated," hadn't she?
Judging by the way she addressed him, her memories likely came from the second simulation.
That second simulation—such a perfect start—yet it was ruined by countless "Brother Li"s.
He hadn't even reached rank seventy before he died.
Zhu Zhuqing's cool yet fervent way of calling him "Brother" was simply too lethal.
Being completely taken in by it was… understandable.
At just eleven or twelve years old, her figure already crushed ninety-nine percent of women.
Lower your head and you couldn't see your toes—a peerless beauty of the mortal world!
"Zhu Zhuqing knows Wang Li?"
Ning Rongrong's mind plunged into chaos. She didn't believe Zhu Zhuqing had also reincarnated.
After all, reincarnation was far too outrageous—even though she herself was living proof.
Besides, in her previous life, Zhu Zhuqing and Wang Li weren't even that close, were they?
'Could it be that in this life, Wang Li became part of the Zhu family?'
Ning Rongrong stroked her chin, deep in thought.
"No, wait—how long are you two planning to hug for?!"
Ning Rongrong clenched her fists and shouted at Wang Li and Zhu Zhuqing.
Hearing this—
Both Wang Li and Zhu Zhuqing snapped back to their senses and looked at Ning Rongrong.
In Zhu Zhuqing's cold eyes, a trace of killing intent flickered.
She recognized Ning Rongrong!
What puzzled her was that, in this life, Ning Rongrong hadn't gone to Shrek Academy. Instead, she was walking together with her Brother Li.
What was going on here?
"Brother Li, who is she?"
"So rude."
Zhu Zhuqing didn't let go of Wang Li, her expression unchanged as she spoke.
"Me? Rude?!"
Ning Rongrong nearly exploded. She was such a gentle person—rude?
Damn it, Zhu Zhuqing! Shouldn't you be staying obediently at Shrek Academy instead of coming here to steal my ex-boyfriend?!
"Brother Li, who is she?"
"In broad daylight, doing something like this!"
Wang Li: "..."
The guards in the shadows: "..."
Miss Ning, do you really have the qualifications to criticize others?
Hearing that—
Zhu Zhuqing's face went pale. Only then did she remember—
In this life, she and Wang Li were complete strangers.
Thinking of this, the arms holding Wang Li began to tremble slightly.
Wang Li felt Zhu Zhuqing's whole body shaking. Just as he was about to push her away, his heart softened.
'Soft-hearted?'
As if realizing something, Wang Li's expression changed.
In the second simulation, wasn't it precisely because he couldn't harden his heart that everything turned out that way?
Good grief—was history about to repeat itself?!
But she really was… far too pitiful!
'I'm not the Soul Emperor from the simulation anymore.'
'Right now, I'm Soul Douluo.'
'A heavily injured Tang Hao, if he doesn't use Ring Explosion, might not even be my match.'
'And if he uses high-intensity Ring Explosion, he risks his own life…'
'If it really comes down to it… I'll just let my Death Arena handle it!'
'I'm a noble stat monster, after all!'
With that thought, Wang Li gently patted Zhu Zhuqing's back, as if comforting her.
Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes widened slightly. Her red lips parted, as if she wanted to say something—yet hesitated.
Brother Li didn't hate her?
That was… wonderful.
Even after reincarnation, even after changing identities, he was still this gentle.
After a moment, Zhu Zhuqing released Wang Li. Standing in front of him, she lowered her head, a faint blush flashing across her cool face.
"Miss Ning, I have a few things I want to ask her. Please don't follow us for now."
"Huh?"
Ning Rongrong's expression stiffened, a sense of loss rising in her heart.
She was the one who came first!
"O-okay… but don't go too far."
Ignoring Ning Rongrong's words, Wang Li walked toward a nearby alley.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't spare Ning Rongrong a single glance as she followed Wang Li into the narrow alley.
"Damn it!"
"What exactly is going on between Zhu Zhuqing and Wang Li?!"
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth, her mood extremely foul.
Inside the alley, Wang Li was certain of one thing—no one was eavesdropping within a twenty-meter radius.
"Talk."
"Who are you, and what happened?"
Wang Li looked at Zhu Zhuqing and asked calmly.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't hesitate at all, recounting everything from start to finish.
She had come to Heaven Dou City to report Tang Hao and Zhao Wuji.
She never expected to run into Wang Li by accident.
"Brother Li, everything I said is true. You… please, you must believe me."
Zhu Zhuqing met Wang Li's gaze, her eyes filled with sincerity.
Wang Li knew that everything Zhu Zhuqing said was true.
What he hadn't expected was that, in the simulation, Zhu Zhuqing's ending had been dying for love.
At that time, she was only eleven or twelve years old.
Zhu Zhuqing—the one most afraid of death—had chosen suicide to end her life…
