Chapter 54: When Your Toes Disappear from Sight, True Beauty is Revealed!
"There are some things that really can't be said face-to-face."
"You may not care about saving face, but I do!"
Kong and Ma Hongjun thought to themselves.
Ning Rongrong was puzzled. Kong wouldn't say anything, and neither would Ma Hongjun, which only made her curiosity grow stronger.
"Thank you."
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing broke the silence, her voice soft and filled with emotion, addressing Kong. Her voice was ethereal with a touch of coolness.
Kong had repeatedly emphasized that he simply disliked Dai Mubai, but Zhu Zhuqing saw through his actions.
Why did he choose to stand up now, especially in her most perilous moment? How could it be just because he disliked Dai Mubai!
Kong's words had deeply moved Zhu Zhuqing's icy heart.
"Have you ever thought that she just wants to live too!"
At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing felt she had met a kindred spirit, she was overwhelmed with emotion!
She was just an eleven-year-old girl who had never encountered such a situation!
Dugu Yan thought: "I've never seen this either!"
Everyone present, anyone with eyes, could see Zhu Zhuqing's affectionate gaze at Kong. Even Ning Rongrong, who typically lacked emotional intelligence, noticed it.
It was clear that Zhu Zhuqing had feelings for Kong!
"Oh, oh, oh!"
"Zhuqing!"
"Hero saves beauty, pledges herself in gratitude. Your eyes are almost melting when you look at Kong!"
Ning Rongrong had no qualms about her lack of emotional intelligence. At this moment, she was saying whatever came to her mind without overthinking it.
Hadn't she once fantasized about such things too?
After saying this, Ning Rongrong's face turned slightly red, while Zhu Zhuqing's face turned completely red!
A girl's secret thoughts being exposed in public, her icy beauty facade instantly crumbled.
"Rongrong!"
"I, I just, just wanted to thank Kong."
Zhu Zhuqing said, lacking confidence.
After saying this, she lowered her head, seemingly looking at something.
"A true beauty is revealed when you lower your head and can no longer see your toes!"
"No matter how you interpret it, you fit perfectly!"
"Keep training hard!"
Kong smiled as he spoke.
Whether understood at face value or deeper, Zhu Zhuqing perfectly embodied this saying, so Kong went along with it.
Being admired by a beauty, isn't that a kind of happiness too?
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned, and so were Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan.
Kong had completely forgotten that Soul Masters' education was almost entirely focused on things related to their profession.
Comprehending deeper meanings wasn't their forte!
For them to grasp the surface meaning was already impressive.
Zhu Zhuqing's face turned crimson, she lowered her head, indeed unable to see her toes!
Kong was... he was... such a rogue!
But if it was him, she didn't mind.
True beauty! He was complimenting her!
Zhu Zhuqing felt fortunate for her strong genes!
Surveying Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan, who had lowered their heads, Zhu Zhuqing straightened her back, a hint of disdain and contempt in her eyes.
Hmph, not even worth mentioning!
"I will train hard!"
Zhu Zhuqing declared with determination.
From a young age, she understood that to control her own fate, she had to train diligently and strive to become stronger.
Kong was only a few months older than her, yet his spirit power level was far beyond her reach. She was determined to train hard and narrow the gap between them.
"Captain... your young sect master is really good at flirting!"
Yu Feng said enviously. He was already getting on in years and still single, but the young sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? According to what Yu Tianheng had said before, he was only twelve years old this year.
He was just too skilled!
The brothers Shi Mo and Shi Mo, along with Oslo, nodded, their faces full of admiration.
Yu Tianheng felt numb. He finally understood why the girl he secretly liked didn't have feelings for him.
Compared to Kong, he, Yu Tianheng, didn't even know how to talk!
Young sect master, I want to learn this too!!
Yu Tianheng shouted inwardly.
Ning Rongrong's smile froze, gradually fading, and finally, she wore a sad expression as she looked at Kong.
It's one thing to flirt with girls, but why do you have to hurt others in the process!
Is being powerful that great?
Wuwu～
Dugu Yan's smile also froze, but she had been hit a few times already and quickly adjusted her mindset, deciding to ask Zhu Zhuqing for advice if she had the chance.
Seeing this, Kong was slightly taken aback, a bit confused.
What were these guys thinking? Did they not understand the meaning behind his words?
Or did they only grasp the literal meaning?
Thinking of this, Kong felt so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a three-room apartment with his toes.
Forget it, don't stoop to their level!
"Ahem, it's getting late. Let's part ways here. See you all again if fate allows!"
After saying this, Kong didn't wait for a response and walked towards the Rose Hotel.
After a few steps, he noticed those intense gazes still on him, so he ran off, forgetting about his image...
Wait, it seems I forgot something!
Just a few steps away, Kong ran back, placed a gold soul coin on the table, and then ran towards the Rose Hotel without looking back.
Everyone: "..."
Dugu Yan: You forgot about me!
Dugu Yan quickly got up, not saying goodbye to anyone, and ran in the direction Kong had "escaped."
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were the first to react, exchanging a somewhat awkward glance.
"Yu Tianheng, we're leaving too."
Ning Rongrong said to Yu Tianheng. She wasn't familiar with the others, so she didn't greet them.
Before Yu Tianheng could respond, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had already walked far away.
After a while, Yu Feng patted Yu Tianheng's shoulder and said, "Boss, should we leave too?"
Everyone they knew had left. Why stay here? For a midnight snack?
"Let's go."
Yu Tianheng waved his hand and led the Emperor Battle Team away.
Ma Hongjun, still kneeling, was bewildered. He had wanted to ask if there was another way to deal with his evil fire!
But now everyone was gone, so Ma Hongjun stood up, his mind filled with Kong's words.
He hadn't even paid attention to Zhu Zhuqing and Kong's interaction.
At this moment, a figure appeared beside Ma Hongjun. It was none other than Flander, the headmaster of Shrek Academy.
With the academy suddenly missing four... three students, how could he not be worried about their safety?
That Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong would leave was unexpected for him. But Flander didn't mind much; if they wanted to leave, let them.
Flander decided to have the first class tomorrow. Firstly, he was mentally exhausted, and secondly, to give the students some time to decide whether to stay or leave.
Those who wanted to stay would stay, those who wanted to leave couldn't be stopped.
When Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun encountered Kong and his group, Flander had been watching from the shadows, not revealing himself.
He hadn't known about the situation between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, and it turned out to be so complicated!
These were not matters for a mere teacher to handle...
