After casually explaining the situation to Zhao Wuji, Zhao Ming looked toward Zhu Zhuqing.
At that mont, Zhu Zhuqing was dressed in a black silk dress, looking exceptionally captivating.
Perhaps it was because she no longer had the burdens she once carried, and her icy deanor had softened, revealing a warr, more human side.
"Zhuqing, are you feeling okay? Do you have a fever?" Zhao Ming frowned. Zhu Zhuqing's face was bright red, looking shy and flustered. What was going on?
"Clothes..." Zhu Zhuqing's face turned even redder when Zhao Ming called her na, so flushed that it seed water could be wrung out of her cheeks. She turned her head away, avoiding Zhao Ming's gaze.
"Clothes?"
Zhao Ming felt a bit confused.
He looked down at himself and imdiately felt embarrassed.
"Sorry about that, Zhuqing. I'll go put on so clothes right away." Zhao Ming offered an awkward smile, left that remark, and quickly flew away with his wings.
Since his room was already destroyed, he could only head to Ma Hongjun's room.
After taking a shower,
He looked at himself in the mirror, observing his handso face and the masculine physique. Perhaps due to the influence of the Immortal Bloodline, there seed to be an inexplicable aura about him now. He wasn't sure what it was, but one thing was certain—he had beco even more attractive.
"I really am handso." Zhao Ming smirked mischievously at his reflection.
"Host, you're too narcissistic. I've never seen anyone so shaless."
"But with the Immortal Bloodline now enhancing you, you truly possess a Pure Yang Body. Handso or not, you now have an irresistible charm that attracts won." The system chuckled.
"Oh? What do you an?" Zhao Ming was intrigued.
"The ancient Undying Phoenix was the supre soul beast in ancient tis, an invincible presence. In the world of soul beasts, it was admired by nearly all female soul beasts, not only for its strength but also for its commanding aura."
"As the host possesses the ancient Undying Phoenix martial spirit, you naturally emit a similar aura, which greatly attracts won's attention. Think about it, when you pursued Xiao Wu, it took over a year for her to truly fall for you. But now, you've only been at Shrek Academy for a few days, and you've already won the hearts of Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong. This is clearly due to the aura of the ancient Undying Phoenix."
"And now that the host has absorbed the Immortal Bloodline, even though the concentration is low, it still enhances your charm to won. In certain dinsions, this state is referred to as a Pure Yang Body. n embody yang, while won embody yin. With your Pure Yang Body, you naturally attract their attention." The system explained.
"Oh? The ancient Undying Phoenix is that powerful?" Zhao Ming's eyes widened.
"Of course."
"Phew." Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Zhao Ming dressed and walked out.
Outside, as Zhao Ming had awakened, all the teachers and students gathered around.
"Zhao Ming, it's so great that you're alright!" Ning Rongrong exclaid joyfully as she ran to Zhao Ming and hugged him tightly. Although Xiao Wu and the others had assured her that Zhao Ming was fine, she had still been worried the entire ti he was absorbing the Undying Blood. After all, it was the first ti she had seen him in such a state.
"Hey, what are you saying? Did you really hope sothing happened to ?" Zhao Ming teased, gently flicking her nose.
"I was worried about you!" Ning Rongrong pouted.
"Ahem." At that mont, Zhao Wuji cleared his throat. He couldn't help but marvel at Zhao Ming's luck with won. There were only three female students in the academy, and within just a few days, Zhao Ming had chard them all.
If he was already this popular now, what about the future?
Still, he didn't mind Zhao Ming's behavior, as it was just normal romance. In the world of soul masters, having multiple partners was common.
Although both Zhao Ming and Dai Mubai were flirts, they were fundantally different.
Zhao Ming's relationships were genuine and long-term; he intended to marry them all. He just happened to have a few more potential wives.
Dai Mubai, on the other hand, indulged in aningless flings with won of the night, purely for pleasure and with no responsibility. The nature of their actions was entirely different.
Zhao Wuji's voice brought Ning Rongrong back to reality. Realizing they were in public, she blushed. However, her lively and cheerful nature allowed her to recover quickly, and she continued to hold Zhao Ming's hand confidently.
She pulled him over to Xiao Wu's side and took Xiao Wu's hand as well.
He felt a bit guilty for neglecting Xiao Wu lately, so he made sure not to forget her now.
"Young people really are full of energy. We old folks can't keep up," Shao Xin said with a smile as he looked at Zhao Ming.
"Alright, alright. I see you're trying to show off. We weren't like you when we were young, holding hands with two beauties at once." Li Yusong remarked, though he couldn't help but smile.
The teachers at Shrek Academy were quite a colorful group, and Zhao Ming found them very much to his liking.
Of course, there was one pair of eyes in the crowd that looked rather out of place.
It was Oscar, who was staring at Zhao Ming with a look of despair.
He had never imagined that Ning Rongrong would end up with Zhao Ming.
These past few days, he had been racking his brain, trying to figure out how to win Ning Rongrong's heart. But now, it was clear that there was no need. Seeing how close Ning Rongrong was with Zhao Ming, he knew he had no chance.
The gap between them was too great. He hadn't even co up with a plan, yet Zhao Ming had already won her over. It was utterly discouraging.
Moreover, Zhao Ming wasn't just with one girl;
No, Zhu Zhuqing also seed to have feelings for him.
It was impossible not to feel envious.
However, after a brief mont of jealousy, Oscar felt a sense of relief. Initially, he had been wracking his brain, trying to compete with Zhao Ming. But now, he didn't have to worry about it at all. In a way, it was a form of liberation.
With this thought, Oscar let out a long breath.
When he looked at Zhao Ming again, the jealousy in his eyes was gone.
He saw Ning Rongrong, her face radiant with happiness as she stood by Zhao Ming's side. Seeing her smile so brightly, her face full of joy, Oscar couldn't help but smile too.
He suddenly recalled a line from a book he had once read:
"Loving soone isn't about possessing them; it's about wanting their happiness. If you love her, you should let her be happy."
He hadn't understood the aning of those words before. But now, he did. He finally understood what true love was.
Seeing her so happy in Zhao Ming's embrace, wasn't that also a kind of happiness?
This must be what the book referred to as "great love."
With this realization, he let go of the last shred of attachnt he had for Ning Rongrong.
