Immediately afterward, before Shen An could answer, Zhu Zhuqing raised her eyes and stared intently at him.
"Shen An, I...I like you!"
"Now, I have severed my engagement with Dai Mubai and have become a disciple of Senior Gu Rong. My family is no longer a constraint for me, and I can freely choose my own life."
Shen An sighed inwardly. Qian Renxue, who had just left, was still on his mind, and now Zhu Zhuqing had confessed her feelings to him. This was truly a tricky situation.
Just as Shen An remained silent, Zhu Zhuqing made an even bolder move: she placed Shen An's hand on her heart.
As we all know, the heart is located in the chest area.
In an instant, Shen An's mind seemed to explode.
It's huge, fucking huge.
An indescribable softness and wonderful touch reached Shen An's heart. For a moment, Shen An even wanted to pinch it, but she still managed to resist.
That's impolite, really impolite.
Zhu Zhuqing's face was flushed with embarrassment, but she had a reason to do so.
Whether it was her longing for Shen An over the past two years, or witnessing Qian Renxue's forceful kiss of Shen An, or Ning Rongrong's affectionate and dependent behavior towards Shen An.
All of this gave Zhu Zhuqing a strong sense of crisis, forcing her to take some radical actions.
"For the past two years, my heart has been beating for you every single moment. Shen An, I love you, I don't want to leave you again, I want to be with you for the rest of my life."
Shen An also felt his heart pounding at that moment, and he was also tempted.
"Shen An, do you like me?" Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were filled with deep affection and hope.
Shen An opened his mouth, ready to speak, but the image of Qian Renxue suddenly popped into his mind.
Through their time together, he came to understand Qian Renxue's personality: strong-willed and extremely possessive.
If she finds out that Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuqing have confirmed their relationship, she'll probably be so furious that she'll lead her grandfather to wipe out the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Don't doubt it, she really can do it, and Qian Daoliu really has that kind of strength.
But if he refused, how could he face Zhu Zhuqing, and how could he face his own conscience?
Shen An opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
The light in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes dimmed at a visible speed, and tears welled up in her eyes.
In an instant, Shen An's heart was touched, and he felt a sharp pain.
“I like you, Zhuqing, I like you too,” Shen An suddenly said.
In an instant, her dim eyes regained their light, and her arms wrapped around Shen An's neck as the two embraced tightly.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything more, but buried her face in Shen An's arms and sobbed softly.
She is a very insecure person; one could even say that beneath her cool exterior lies a deep-seated inferiority complex.
From the moment she met Shen An, he gradually integrated into her world, even becoming her entire world.
If Shen An really rejected her, she really didn't know what to do next.
Tears soaked Shen An's clothes, as if Zhu Zhuqing was pouring out all her longing from the past two years.
Immediately, she whispered, "Then, what about Rongrong?"
Shen An...
He himself doesn't know what to do, and you're already showing concern.
Then Shen An fell silent. He said the same thing: sometimes, running away may be shameful, but it really works.
Seeing that Shen An no longer answered, Zhu Zhuqing punched him a few times with her small fist with a resentful look, but did not say anything more.
She planned to take it slow. Just as Shen An had become her everything, she wanted to slowly become Shen An's everything, not wanting to push him too hard.
Zhu Zhuqing felt very insecure. She was afraid that if she pushed too hard, she would lose Shen An. This was a result of her upbringing.
The two embraced quietly, their tenderness unparalleled.
After an unknown amount of time, Ning Rongrong was still absorbing the spirit ring when Shen An suddenly said to the person beside him, "I may have to leave for a while, but not for too long."
"Is it because of Qian Renxue?" Zhu Zhuqing asked warily.
Shen An was somewhat puzzled; why were women so aware of this?
He was indeed planning to go find Qian Renxue, partly as a delaying tactic, fearing that this person might destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with his grandfather at the slightest provocation.
On the other hand, it's because of the Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Plan. To be frank, Shen An doesn't currently have enough strength to resist the Spirit Hall's operation.
He could only lie in wait and search for a way to break the deadlock.
Of course, whether there were any unclear or inexplicable thoughts involved is something only Shen An himself knows.
Shen An nodded slowly: "Yes and no, there are indeed some important things to do."
Unexpectedly, although Zhu Zhuqing looked reluctant, she still let go and said, "Then go ahead. Since you say it's important, it must be very important."
Shen An smiled immediately; the stunning beauty before him was truly captivating.
Shen An then got up and prepared to say goodbye to the ancient banyan tree.
Gu Rong looked at Shen An in surprise. He was really in a hurry. He coughed twice and said, "Well, I gave the Azure Bull Python's soul bone to Rongrong. I didn't take advantage of you. Given Rongrong's feelings for you, it's not unreasonable for her to take a soul bone."
Shen An smiled, "Not at all, not at all. However, I have other important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now. I hope you and Rongrong will let me know."
The ancient banyan tree nodded in agreement.
On the other side of the Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Renxue walked alone, with Ju and Ghost Douluo following closely behind.
"Young Master, where did Elder Yan go? What about our mission? Should we still do it?"
Under Yue Guan's urging, Ghost Douluo forced himself to speak.
"Yan Chixia is dead, and that humanoid soul beast has also been sacrificed. You can go back and report now," Qian Renxue said coldly.
"This..." Yue Guan and Gui Mei hesitated.
Qian Renxue suddenly turned around and shouted, "Get out of here now!"
Without saying a word, Yue Guan immediately grabbed the ghost and ran away.
At this moment, Qian Renxue was in an extremely bad mood!
Along the way, she beat up countless spirit beasts, leaving them to silently shed tears.
It had been over an hour, and Shen An still hadn't caught up to coax her!
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue couldn't help but feel wronged. Did Shen An really not care about her at all?
All he could think about were those two vixens.
With her mind preoccupied, Qian Renxue grew angrier and angrier. Just then, she saw a ten-thousand-year-old tiger-like spirit beast by the roadside and, without saying a word, went up and slapped it twice across the face.
This scene was witnessed by Shen An, who had come from afar, and he silently swallowed.
He immediately put on a gentle smile, ready to go forward and coax her.
Qian Renxue naturally sensed the sharp sword energy, which eased her mind slightly, but she didn't look at it and continued walking forward aimlessly.
Shen An was about to step forward, but Qian Renxue acted as if she didn't see him at all.
Shen An tried to hold her hand, but Qian Renxue dodged him. Unconvinced, Shen An tried again, but she dodged him once more.
Shen An...
When a girl is angry, her hand is harder to hold than a pig during Chinese New Year.
Shen An gave Tom and Jerry a look, signaling the two little ones to go forward and coax them.
Tom and Jerry shook their heads like rattles.
Just kidding, even if both of the Heavenly Emperors combined their power, they couldn't coax an angry girl.
Shen An sighed and prepared to continue following, giving the angry girl some space to calm down.
I don't know how long we walked, but even the sky began to darken.
Qian Renxue suddenly said, "Give me your hand."
Shen An extended his hand, and the two immediately intertwined their fingers, becoming intimately close.
Qian Renxue suddenly sneered, "Can good friends hold hands? You call this good friendship?"
“Good friends can hold hands, baby,” Shen An replied earnestly.
As expected, as soon as the word "baby" was uttered, Shen An clearly felt Qian Renxue's body tremble violently.
Even her crystal-clear, jade-like earlobes blushed slightly.
She forced a stern expression, trying her best to look serious.
"Stop joking around with me. Why are you back to me again? Weren't you having a great time with those two vixens?"
Shen An... Is it possible that, to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, you are the vixen?
As she spoke, she leaned forward and sniffed Shen An's clothes, and sure enough, she smelled a faint fragrance!
Two types still exist!
Instinctively, Qian Renxue wanted to shake off Shen An's hand, but feeling the warmth in his palm, she couldn't bear to let go.
Shen Anze's heart skipped a beat, but seeing that Qian Renxue did not make a move, he thought that there was still room for maneuver.
Chapter 305 Breakthrough, Gold~Golden Legend!
"I was just worried about you, that's why I rushed over here," the scumbag Shen Ru said.
Qian Renxue sneered: "You were worried about me, and it's been an hour or two since you dared to come over. After you've coaxed me and brought me back, are you going to go back and coax those two too?"
Shen An chuckled casually and didn't say anything more. At this point, it was best to give both sides some time.
She simply led Qian Renxue on a quiet stroll through the forest.
To be honest, his feelings for Qian Renxue are quite complicated now. It's hard not to be moved by someone who is so bold in love and hate, decisive, and stunningly beautiful.
Therefore, his pursuit was not solely for the purpose of continuing to infiltrate the Spirit Hall, but also due to his genuine concern for Qian Renxue.
Thinking of this, Shen An sighed inwardly. He had thought that after the Soul Master Competition, he and Zhu Qing would officially announce their relationship, and at most, Ning Rongrong would be added to the family.
Unexpectedly, after two years of seclusion in the Starry Sky, just as he was about to return, Qian Renxue suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
'I think I've fallen for three girls, and all three girls like me too. I just don't know if they can get along.'
Shen An appeared calm and collected, but he was inwardly very troubled. Being a scumbag is no easy task.
'I only regret that I'm not that arrogant dragon, who can openly and legitimately build a harem as soon as he unleashes his domineering aura,' Shen An thought to himself.
I don't know how long we walked, but the sky had completely darkened.
"By the way, I've recently shown signs of a breakthrough. How about you protect me?" Shen An said.
He was no longer going to delay any longer; his reputation was already high enough that he could acquire his seventh spirit ring long ago.
However, because he had been in Wuhun City, there were too many eyes and ears around, so he had some concerns.
Now that Yue Guan Gui Mei has left, leaving only Qian Ren Xue, it's a good time to absorb a soul ring.
Shen An now feels a strong need for strength.
Not to mention the distant Asura divine thought, which was just a wisp of divine thought, it took five Title Douluos to scare it away. Heaven knows how much divine power was contained in that wisp of divine thought.
The most recent example is Bibi Dong's Soul Hunting Plan, the first step of which is to eliminate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Now that he has taken Xiao Wu's spirit ring, it is conceivable that the enraged Bibi Dong is very likely to launch a direct attack on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
When Qian Renxue heard that Shen An wanted to absorb a soul ring, she was also startled, as she knew Shen An's cultivation level.
Shen An is now comparable to a level 96 Title Douluo, if he were to comprehend the Martial Soul True Body.
Wow! I can't even imagine it.
It's important to know that the strength of a Martial Soul's true form is linked to the quality of the Martial Soul.
In terms of the quality of Shen An's martial soul, it is definitely no less than that of a god-level martial soul.
Shen Anzhen has truly become a Soul Saint. To put it conservatively, he should be able to chase after Chen Xin and chop him down without any problem.
Or rather, Shen An estimated that he could directly confront the veteran powerhouse of the Spirit Hall, the Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo.
