"Thank you, Yao'er." Zhu Zhuqing was immediately moved, her eyes slightly red.
But Dongfang Yao chuckled, her tone tinged with apology:
"Actually, Zhuqing, I have already told my brother about your situation in the letter, and I hope he can give me some advice."
"What?!" Zhu Zhuqing was shocked. How could she trouble others with her own affairs?
Seeing that the other Shrek members were about to go downstairs, Zhu Zhuqing grabbed Dongfang Yao and led her away from the hotel.
Outside the hotel, Dongfang Yao smiled and took out an envelope: "Here are my brother's exact words. Take a look."
Zhu Zhuqing nervously took the letter, hesitated for a moment, and then carefully unfolded it.
He quickly found the passage about himself:
——
By the way, that girl named Zhu Zhuqing, we shouldn't have interfered in other people's family affairs. You have to be criticized for that!
But now that you've become good friends, if you choose to trust her, then your brother will trust her too. When a friend is in trouble, it's time to lend a helping hand.
However, we must face reality. Zhu Zhuqing is only a Great Soul Master, and our strength is not that great either. To want to defy the entire family and the royal family is simply wishful thinking.
This matter is of great importance, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not intervene.
My master dislikes killing, so the method of suppressing with force cannot be used for the time being.
So, all things considered, our current task remains the same: to strive to become stronger. Only by becoming stronger can we have sufficient confidence.
Anyway, that girl has already left Xingluo, and you have Qibao's protection by your side, so it's safe for you to stay in Shrek for the time being.
I'll make further plans after I return from the far north.
——
After reading the letter, Zhu Zhuqing didn't know what emotions to express.
But Yao'er's brother is right. Instead of overthinking, we should focus on honing our skills.
Dongfang Yao puffed out her chest, a little smug: "Do you understand now? My brother is very loyal!"
Zhu Zhuqing neither confirmed nor denied it, but agreed.
"But more than anything, it's because he spoils you, right?"
"Uh," Dongfang Yao scratched her head.
Thinking about it carefully, it really is true.
If it were anyone else, my brother would definitely have refused this troublesome matter outright.
Dongfang Jing agreed simply because Zhu Zhuqing was one of her sister Dongfang Yao's few friends.
Although Zhu Zhuqing had never been in a relationship, she could still offer some advice, so she said, "Yao'er, you can't go on like this."
"Huh? What's wrong?" Dongfang Yao asked, puzzled.
Zhu Zhuqing said seriously, "If you just enjoy his pampering and act obedient, his opinion of you will probably never change. He will always just see you as a cute little sister."
Dongfang Yao's pupils contracted slightly. "That seems to make sense!"
I used to be too obedient and clingy to him, just like a little kid.
Dongfang Jing's mentality is just like that of an adult; it would be strange if he had any other thoughts!
"What should I do?" Dongfang Yao covered her face with her hands, filled with regret. Why did she only realize this now?
Although they are all girls.
But when it comes to talking about love, she inevitably gets a little shy.
Zhu Zhuqing whispered, "How about... when you meet, you act a little rebellious? Like... for example, if you want to hug or kiss, you deliberately stick close to him, letting him feel your increasingly attractive figure, and then..."
The further we go,
Not only was Zhu Zhuqing, who offered the advice, so embarrassed that her head was practically steaming,
Dongfang Yao listened attentively to these opinions, and recalling those scenes, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear into the ground.
But Zhu Qing is right, I should be brave enough to rebel! Intensify the offensive!
The blow made my brother blush and his heart race; he was caught completely off guard!
After leaving the town, Shrek and his group continued their journey and finally arrived at the entrance to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Zhao Wuji ordered everyone to stop, and then solemnly explained the precautions to them.
While listening, Dongfang Yao kept glancing in a certain direction.
Ning Rongrong felt sorry for her when she saw her like this.
Because where they are now is the very entrance to the forest that Dongfang Jing entered back then.
Yao'er also erected a tombstone for her brother here.
'Yao'er must really want to go and pay respects to her brother.'
Thinking this to herself, Ning Rongrong raised her hand and said loudly, "Teacher Zhao! I need to go to the toilet!"
Zhao Wuji glared at her: "Where were you before?"
But not wanting her to hold it in, he said, "Dongfang Yao, you accompany Ning Rongrong to find a bush nearby to take care of things."
Before the girl could reply, Ning Rongrong had already pulled her away.
Dongfang Yao felt a warm glow in her heart: "Thank you, Rongrong."
"What are you thanking me for? I really need to use the restroom." Ning Rongrong said, squatting down in a patch of grass. "Go ahead and go."
"Um."
Following her memories, Dongfang Yao found the place where the monument was originally erected.
The tombstone is still there, but it is mostly covered by sand.
Dongfang Yao summoned the Star Sword, slashed it a few times, and erased the five large characters "Tomb of Dongfang Jing" on the monument before finally pushing it down.
We erected this monument because we thought my brother had passed away.
The person is still alive and well, so erecting a monument would be too unlucky!
After cleaning up the traces, Dongfang Yao led Ning Rongrong, who had finished relieving herself, back to the group.
The group advanced slowly in the formation they had agreed upon earlier, with Dai Mubai leading the way.
Apart from Xiao Wu, who appeared unusually excited, everyone else looked wary.
After traveling for about an hour, the soul beasts they encountered were all ten or a hundred years old.
They didn't kill these spirit beasts; they only injured or drove them away.
After clearing a space, the group sat down against the trees to rest for a while.
Dongfang Yao frowned slightly, looking at the faint pits and cracks on the ground, the marks extending deep into the forest.
Zhao Wuji, Tang San, and the others also noticed these faint traces.
Zhao Wuji guessed, "It should be caused by someone, and the person who did it is quite powerful."
Tang San nodded: "These marks were clearly made with a blunt object. They've been exposed to wind, sun, and rain to look like this. The marks extend deep into the forest. Is some powerful Soul Master chasing after something?"
Dongfang Yao gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly.
"Yao'er," Ning Rongrong said gently as she sat down next to her.
"I'm fine." Dongfang Yao breathed a sigh of relief and stopped thinking about it.
After resting for about half an hour, Tang San, Zhao Wuji, and Dongfang Yao all turned their gazes in the same direction.
Zhao Wuji shouted sternly, "Get up, everyone! Something is approaching at high speed!"
Upon hearing the sound, everyone instantly formed a battle formation and activated their martial spirits.
Dongfang Yao held her sword in one hand, stood with her hands behind her back, protecting Ning Rongrong behind her, and softly called out, "Zhu Qing."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded in understanding, and with a swift movement, leaped onto a large tree to the side.
Its sharp, vertical pupils pierced through the branches and leaves, locking onto the direction from which the sound came.
A clear, cool voice came from the treetop:
"It's a flying snake! It doesn't fly very high. It has a bright red fleshy crown on its head, a fan-shaped tail, and pale red wings. Its body length is estimated to be six to eight meters."
