"Hello, I'm Adrian," he introduced himself, extending a hand in greeting.

Adrian couldn't hide the delight in his eyes, having read about Zhu Zhuqing in the Douluo Dalu world and harboring a long-standing crush. He admired her strength and strong spirit, often feeling that Mubai was not the right fit for her fiery spirit. Suppressing his excitement, Adrian maintained his calm exterior, aware of Zhu Zhuqing's reserved nature.

"So, what's your spirit?" Zhu Zhuqing inquired, keeping her tone casual.
Adrian replied, "Moonshadow Wolf. And you?"
"Hell Civet," she responded, a gleam of pride in her eyes.
Their conversation flowed smoothly, the exchange revealing the strengths of their respective spirits.
