Chapter 19: Zhu Zhuqing, Give Me a Child

Night falls.

Su Bai arrives as expected.

In silence, Zhu Zhuqing seems resigned. Without waiting for Su Bai to speak, she voluntarily undresses, revealing her fiery physique.

Impressed by her compliance, Su Bai nods approvingly before pressing onto her voluptuous form.

"Mm…" Zhu Zhuqing endures the relentless assault, unable to suppress a soft moan.

Throughout the night, Zhu Zhuqing is tossed and turned, her mind swirling with complexity, contradiction, and even a hint of delight.

The soul beast's energy is relentless, demanding, and seemingly inexhaustible as if possessing an endless reservoir of vitality.

Yet, inexplicably, she finds herself surprisingly fulfilled.

Her emotions are in turmoil.

Could following him not be such a bad idea?

Despite being a soul beast, he is undeniably powerful and handsome and exudes an air of dominance.

But could he also be the key to changing her fate?

Bah!

"What am I thinking?" Zhu Zhuqing quickly dismisses her bewildering thoughts.

Startled by her own musings, she recoils.

This soul beast has taken her innocence; he is her enemy.

Given the chance, she must kill him.

Indeed, that's the plan.

For now, she must endure.

Little does she know that Zhu Zhuqing is merely deceiving herself.

As the saying goes, the quickest way to a woman's heart is through her bed.

After a day and night of struggle, the barrier around Zhu Zhuqing's heart begins to weaken.

Su Bai is not in a hurry.

As the saying goes, love grows with time.

...

Morning comes.

Upon awakening, Su Bai gazes at the voluptuous figure in his arms and can't resist reaching out to caress her.

Slowly, Su Bai's gentle touch glides over every inch of her snow-white skin, savoring the sensation.

Mm-hmm~

As Zhu Zhuqing, still asleep, senses the unfamiliar touch on her body, she can't help but let out a soft moan.

To Su Bai, this moan is nothing short of seductive.

Instantly, his desire flares up, and under Zhu Zhuqing's surprised gasp, he presses down on her once again.

Afterward, holding Zhu Zhuqing in his arms, Su Bai speaks up: "Give me a child."

Zhu Zhuqing falls silent.

She wonders, why bother asking for her opinion when it's already come to this?

Does her agreement or disagreement even matter?

After all, didn't he capture her for this purpose?

Hmm!

But for some reason, Zhu Zhuqing responds anyway.

Maybe it's resignation, or perhaps just acquiescence.

And the fact that Su Bai bothered to ask for her opinion indicates he cares about it.

She feels a tinge of happiness in her heart for some inexplicable reason.

But soon, Zhu Zhuqing realizes her lapse and quickly reverts to her icy demeanor.

However, Su Bai has already seen through her facade.

He secretly chuckles.

It seems he'll be able to win over Zhu Zhuqing soon enough.

Indeed, the old adage holds true: sleeping with a woman is the fastest way to her heart.

Ten days later.

Su Bai returns to the cave.

Zhu Zhuqing skillfully undresses.

Su Bai takes one look, then says, "Put your clothes back on."

Huh?

Zhu Zhuqing is puzzled.

She doesn't understand why Su Bai would say this.

With the soul beast's energy, he couldn't possibly be satisfied so quickly.

Could it be that he's tired of her?

At the thought, Zhu Zhuqing's expression grows colder.

She has clearly misunderstood Su Bai.

Unaware of Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts, Su Bai continues, "You're pregnant. You shouldn't engage in strenuous activities."

"Pregnant?!"

At the words, Zhu Zhuqing's mouth falls open in astonishment.

She hadn't expected to conceive so soon.

But then again, it's not surprising considering how the soul beast comes to torment her every day.

Is he refraining from touching her because she's pregnant?

Zhu Zhuqing looks at Su Bai in surprise.

As night fell, Su Bai arrived as promised.

In silence, Zhu Zhuqing seemed resigned. She quickly shed her clothes without waiting for Su Bai's command, revealing her fiery physique. Su Bai nodded in approval at her compliance before pressing her down onto the bed.

"Mmm..." Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but emit soft moans as she endured Su Bai's relentless advances throughout the night.

By morning, Zhu Zhuqing was tangled in a web of conflicting emotions. Despite feeling satisfied by Su Bai's vigor, she couldn't shake off the complexities of her thoughts.

Zhu Zhuqing quickly ignored the unsettling thoughts: "What am I thinking?

However, the realization that this beast had taken her innocence lingered, fueling her determination to seek revenge whenever the opportunity arose. Yet, for now, she resigned herself to endure this indignity.

Little did she know, her resolve was nothing but self-deception.

As the saying goes, the quickest way to a woman's heart is through her bed. After a day and a night of passion, Zhu Zhuqing's once-guarded heart began to soften.

Su Bai, unperturbed, continued to shower Zhu Zhuqing with care and attention, patiently waiting for affection to blossom between them.

Meanwhile, in the Heaven Dou Empire, at the Blue Tyrant Academy...

"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!" A voluptuous woman slammed her palm onto the table, causing it to shatter. It was Liu Erlong, the headmaster of the Blue Tyrant Academy, and she was livid.

Standing before her were members of the Shrek team, who had just recounted the story of Zhu Zhuqing's abduction by Su Bai.

Liu Erlong, known for her fiery temper, erupted at the news. Beside her sat Flender, the dean of Shrek Academy, and Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang.

Upon Tang San's return to the academy, Yu Xiaogang immediately took action upon hearing their tale of woe in the Star Dou Forest. Together with Flender, they decided to seek Liu Erlong's assistance.

Zhao Wujin was also present, having recovered under Tang San's care.

Observing Liu Erlong's outburst, Flender attempted to calm her. "Erlong, please calm down. Dealing with a hundred-thousand-year soul beast won't be easy."

"What are you saying, Flender?" Liu Erlong shot him a glare, displeased. "That's your student we're talking about. Are you suggesting we just stand by and do nothing?"

Flender sighed, realizing he needed the support of his friend Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang stepped in, trying to placate Liu Erlong. "Erlong, you've misunderstood Franke. He simply meant that we need to plan carefully."

Realizing her overreaction, Liu Erlong reluctantly retook her seat.

"I don't care. We must save her. With our martial soul fusion skills, we might stand a chance against that Soul Beasts. I'll send the juniors to rescue her," Liu Erlong insisted, her determination unwavering.

Flender glanced at Yu Xiaogang, both resigned to the fact that Liu Erlong was unyielding once she had decided.

With their decision, the group set off toward the Star Dou Forest.
