Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

Chapter 809: Breaking Off the Engagement



Regarding the deeds of Sun Ming, Zhu Zhuqing had already heard them so many times that they were familiar. After all, his stories have spread throughout the continent, and aside from those "oblivious to the world's affairs" ascetics or Soul Masters who disdain theory, most people have high praise for Sun Ming.

After personally reading Sun Ming's various theories and travelogue, Zhu Zhuqing developed a sense of admiration and... worship for this man she had never met.

Although during his travels across the continent, there were almost no grand battles between Soul Masters, battles between Soul Masters were something she was long accustomed to.

However, Sun Ming's travelogue revealed the life forms of the ordinary people across the continent.

Delicate, yet real.

The fact that he cared about the living conditions of ordinary people and didn't help them for personal gain showed that Sun Ming was surely a strong and kind person!

She even considered at the beginning whether she should go directly to Tiandou City and planned to offer herself to him—being with such an outstanding man felt far safer than being with Dai Mubai.

But in the end, she still decided to find Dai Mubai first and see his situation—

It indeed left her disappointed.

Now, hearing Wu Youyou talk about Sun Ming's situation, Zhu Zhuqing felt that her initial thought was so naive. How could someone like Sun Ming accept her "bribe"?

That would be the greatest disrespect to him!

He is different from other men.

The second day.

Wu Youyou got up, washed up, and then took Zhu Zhuqing, who had also finished washing up, to check out of the room downstairs, heading outside Suoto City.

Only when they passed a relatively backward village not far from the city, a long queue caught their attention.

"What are so many people doing here?" Wu Youyou asked, although she returns to Holy Spirit Village once a year, she always took different routes each time, with the aim of seeing more cities and towns, hence didn't know what was going on outside Suoto City.

Zhu Zhuqing, however, had some understanding and said, "This small village is the location of Shrek Academy. I originally wanted to join it... now I'm no longer interested."

How could such a poor environment lead to a rapid increase in Soul Power?

Afterward, the two observed nearby and found that the person collecting fees first charged ten gold soul coins and then inspected people's bone age to see if they met the admission requirements.

If the bone age exceeded the limit, entry was disallowed, and the gold soul coins were not refunded.

Isn't this a rip-off?

This thought suddenly occurred to Wu Youyou's mind. Checking bone age requires ten gold soul coins?

Are they crazy for money?

Later on, a student trying to plead for money was scared away by that person's Soul Emperor-level power.

"Shrek Academy's staff are a nest of snakes and rats. The two students we met before were so lecherous, and even the person recruiting doesn't clarify things beforehand... Zhu Qing, I must say, you made a very wise choice."

Wu Youyou glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, whose face was dark, and laughed softly, "If you had joined this academy, who knows how badly you'd be exploited by those inside."

Not far away, Dai Mubai, upon seeing Zhu Zhuqing, brightened up and spoke to the recruiting staff before walking toward Wu Youyou and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Are you two here to join Shrek Academy as well?" Dai Mubai assumed he had shown a charming smile, with most of his attention on Zhu Zhuqing.

He had already recognized who she was.

His fiancée, Zhu Zhuqing.

"No, just looking around. I didn't expect there to be an academy here, but their actions are quite excessive."

Wu Youyou said, "Since they aim to recruit geniuses under twelve with at least two rings, they could have put up a bigger sign with instructions nearby in the first place, rather than waiting for people to pay and then verbally informing them."

"What good is saying it verbally?"

"Once these people leave, there will be another batch coming along... Could it be that they're out to rip people off?"

Dai Mubai was somewhat embarrassed, and Tang San and Xiao Wu, who were in line nearby, naturally heard these remarks, each having their own reaction, but ultimately said nothing.

In Tang San's mind, he leaned more towards the belief that Shrek Academy was an academy with hidden masters, after all, the one collecting the tuition was a Soul Emperor.

Xiao Wu, with twinkling eyes, actually wanted to chat with Wu Youyou and Zhu Zhuqing, but Tang San held her back, shaking his head slightly and said, "Xiao Wu, don't go over there, that Dai Mubai is also there."

At this moment, he hadn't truly joined Shrek yet, and still felt a sense of alertness towards Dai Mubai.

And Xiao Wu obediently didn't go over.

Just then, a girl wearing a glazed ball approached and asked, "Are these the students of Shrek Academy? Apart from looking a bit handsome, they're not much."

"And who are you?" Dai Mubai asked angrily.

He tolerated Wu Youyou and Zhu Zhuqing being together and bad-mouthing Shrek because they might be acquaintances; but who are you?

"You're Ning Rongrong from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, right?" Wu Youyou suddenly spoke.

"You know me?" Ning Rongrong responded cautiously, suspecting that this person was sent from within her clan.

"I know you." Wu Youyou said, "My name is Wu Youyou, a student of Ming Lun Academy. Last year, your father took you to Ming Lun Academy, hoping you would join, but you seemed unable to bear the rules of Ming Lun Academy and left on your own... I remember Sect Master Ning was so embarrassed at that time."

"Hmph! Although Ming Lun Academy is impressive, it has too many rules, you can't do this, you can't do that. Didn't I just throw money at someone? And it was a commoner student, yet they didn't appreciate it and reported to the administration."

As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, how could she be subjected to such rules and constraints?

More importantly, that Sun Ming didn't even personally teach her and treated her the same as other students... In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, even the two Titled Douluos have to yield to her!

Therefore, less than three days after enrolling in Ming Lun, Ning Rongrong applied to withdraw on her own accord and returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, where she was grounded by Ning Fengzhi for about a year before sneaking out. Мy Virtuаl Librаry Еmpirе (М|V|LЕ1МРYR) thаnks yоu fоr rеаding аt thе sоurсе.

This year, she didn't follow her father's arrangement to go to Tiandou Royal Academy. Although the environment there had improved over the years, it was far inferior to Ming Lun.

Furthermore, she happened to hear about Shrek from her father and found it interesting, so she came to take a look—besides, among the external talents in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, some seemed not to have graduated properly from Shrek Academy.

Her father said that Shrek didn't have much ability to teach students, but because there were a few Soul Emperors there, it could attract a large group of unsuspecting commoner talents.

Shrek might have high standards but low abilities, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan isn't like that. When its geniuses can't graduate properly, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan secretly extends an olive branch to them.

And after receiving the training from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, most of these students realized they had been misled by Shrek Academy, so they never mentioned Shrek afterward.

Those who could graduate from Shrek were basically geniuses among geniuses, who could cultivate themselves into talents even without Shrek's training.

And over the years, Shrek has only produced one standout genius—Qin Ming, who is currently working as a teacher at Tiandou Royal Academy.

Therefore, Ning Rongrong felt that coming to this Shrek wouldn't be a waste, at least she could preemptively connect with some geniuses.

As for how to connect with them?

She is, after all, the daughter of the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Once she reveals her identity, how much insight can those commoner soul masters have, even if they're geniuses? Won't they have to bow down in respect?

"Ming Lun rules, although numerous, are meant to regulate the desires in people's hearts, and not a single one violates humanitarianism." Wu Youyou, seeing Ning Rongrong's disdain for Ming Lun Academy, was somewhat displeased.

Zhu Zhuqing had even less fondness for such "little princesses."

Although she could be considered a "princess" herself, since she was sensible, she had never received princess treatment. After her martial soul awakened, her path became even more difficult.

This Ning Rongrong absolutely couldn't get along with her.

"It doesn't violate anything, but I just can't stand it." Ning Rongrong snorted.

Wu Youyou didn't say anything more, just pulled Zhu Zhuqing outward, saying, "Zhuqing, let's leave. At Ming Lun, you can receive better education and cultivation conditions."

"Wait!"

Dai Mubai called out to them, "Zhuqing, please don't leave, alright? You are my fiancée!"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing about to leave, Dai Mubai panicked and revealed their relationship.

At this, the people in line, as well as the old man collecting fees there, turned their eyes.

Watching a spectacle... is human nature.

"Third brother, isn't this... too exciting?" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up with the fire of the Eight Trigrams.

"Xiao Wu, this isn't right." Although he lectured so, Tang San couldn't help but perk up his ears.

"You still remember I'm your fiancée?"

Zhu Zhuqing was so furious she laughed, her cold face showing a hint of savageness, like a black cat with its fur standing on end: "You still remember I'm your fiancée, huh?"

"I..."

Dai Mubai wanted to say something, but Zhu Zhuqing interrupted him, "When you ran away from the Xingluo Empire back then, did you ever think about what would happen to me?"

"You didn't."

"Maybe back then you were still young and didn't realize it. I could forgive that—"

"But after you left, did you ever consider your own fate, did you ever think of returning to the Xingluo Empire to save me?"

Dai Mubai was left speechless.

"You didn't!"

Zhu Zhuqing almost screamed, "You were enjoying life in a small city, indulging in pleasure, and womanizing."

"Lolis, mature women, elder sisters, which one hadn't you toyed with?"

"You never considered that when the next emperor of the Xingluo Empire is selected, it would be the time of our deaths!"

"Even if not death, we would be imprisoned forever!"

"After I came to Suoto City, I've actually been secretly observing you. But besides seeing you wallow in degeneracy, I couldn't see a single shred of hope."

Dai Mubai's lips trembled, "So..."

Zhu Zhuqing said coldly, "So, I want to take control of my own destiny... The marriage contract between us was nothing more than a product of our two families. There isn't much feeling between you and me... When I saw you mingling with women, even twins, I had no more thoughts about it."
