"Become Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé?"
Xu Tian froze for a moment, clearly not expecting his very first system mission to be something like this.
Among the female protagonists of the Shrek Seven Devils, Zhu Zhuqing was renowned for her cold beauty and breathtaking figure.
Naturally, Xu Tian liked women like her. He did not bother hiding that fact from himself. His attraction was straightforward and honest.
After all, what man would dislike a girl with a perfect figure? Anyone who claimed otherwise was either pretending or simply incapable. There was no third explanation.
"Open the system panel," Xu Tian muttered inwardly after calming down. Before doing anything else, he needed to understand the system he had obtained.
Soon, a mysterious projection formed within his mind, glowing faintly like ripples of light.
[Host]: Xu Tian
[Age]: 12
[Martial Soul]: God-Slaying Sword
[Skill Points]: None
[Cultivation]: Level 31 Soul Master (Upgradeable)
[Bloodline]: None
[Harem]: None (Unlockable)
[Task]: Display your talent at the Zhu Family Assembly three days later and obtain a marriage decree from the Zhu Family Head, becoming Zhu Zhuqing's fiancé.
Zhu Zhuqing was the second young miss of the Zhu Family.
Though her beauty stunned everyone who saw her, all disciples knew she was already engaged to Dai Mubai, the Star Luo Empire's prince.
Because of this, none dared harbor improper thoughts toward her.
But Xu Tian was different.
As a transmigrator, he had no intention of caring about such restrictions.
With his current strength, becoming a Level 31 Soul Master at only twelve years old, he could already be called an unparalleled genius within the Zhu Family.
The Zhu Family held immense influence within the Star Luo Empire, yet their cultivation strength could not compare to the purely cultivation-focused clans of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Even within Spirit Hall, a twelve-year-old Soul Master would be considered extraordinary....let alone here.
Once his talent was revealed, the Zhu Family would undoubtedly do everything possible to recruit and retain him.
At that time, requesting the cancellation of Zhu Zhuqing's engagement to Dai Mubai would not be impossible.
Although Dai Mubai was a prince, he was merely a failed contender for the throne—a prince with almost no chance of becoming emperor. Compared to Xu Tian's future potential, the choice would be obvious.
He could even accompany Zhu Zhuqing to Shrek Academy afterward and openly display their relationship right in front of Dai Mubai.
"A girl as outstanding as Zhuqing deserves someone capable of protecting her," Xu Tian murmured with a faint smile as he began considering how to approach her.
Should he appear domineering?
Or remain low-key and gentle?
The Zhu Family had not produced a Title Douluo for centuries.
If he displayed sufficient talent, the family head might personally support his union with Zhu Zhuqing.
However, winning her heart was equally important. What meaning would possession have without willingness?
Moreover, Dai Mubai had already abandoned her....leaving for the Heaven Dou Empire alone without regard for her safety.
Her world was already filled with disappointment. Her elder sister opposed her, her fiancé indulged himself in decadence, and when danger approached, he fled alone rather than take her along.
Under such circumstances, how could Xu Tian possibly hurt her further?
He would pursue her openly and protect her sincerely.
With him by her side, she only needed to live happily.
Star Luo City — Zhu Family Estate.
The Zhu Family was undoubtedly one of the most prestigious clans on the Douluo Continent.
However, long involvement in imperial politics and assisting the Dai royal family had gradually weakened their dedication to cultivation.
As a result, truly powerful experts rarely emerged from their ranks.
At this moment, numerous disciples trained diligently in the central square.
Many young women of the Zhu Family possessed slender figures, fair skin, and long legs. Nearly every one of them could rival top school beauties or actresses from Earth.
Environment shaped people. Living in the Douluo Continent seemed to naturally refine one's appearance.
Xu Tian's gaze swept across the crowd, anticipation rising within him. If ordinary disciples were already this beautiful, then Zhu Zhuqing herself must be even more stunning.
And there was also Zhu Zhuyun—whose figure was rumored to surpass even Zhu Zhuqing's.
Soon, Xu Tian's attention locked onto a particular figure.
She wore a black, tight leather outfit that perfectly outlined her exquisite curves. Her figure alone caused countless girls nearby to pale in comparison.
Her face was breathtakingly beautiful. Her long, slender legs moved gracefully with every step, radiating a cold and captivating charm that drew the eyes of nearly every young man present.
Admiration filled countless gazes directed toward her.
If anyone could win the favor of such a girl, their status within the Zhu Family would soar instantly.
As for Dai Mubai, many secretly regarded him as nothing more than a coward—someone unwilling to confront Davis and instead choosing to flee.
Still, no one dared voice such thoughts openly against imperial authority.
Gradually, the surrounding disciples forced themselves to look away, suppressing their thoughts toward Zhu Zhuqing.
All except one person.
Xu Tian.
"Is that Zhu Zhuqing?"
He sighed inwardly.
No wonder she was one of the Shrek Seven Devils' heroines.
Her face was flawless, her waist slender, her legs long and elegant, and her graceful figure rose and fell with steady breathing—perfectly balanced and captivating.
She was truly worthy of being called a peerless beauty.
After observing her briefly, Xu Tian deliberately shifted his gaze away. He knew Zhu Zhuqing despised lecherous men above all else. Leaving a bad first impression would be disastrous.
"Who are you?"
