Chapter 186 Zhu Zhuqing is incredibly charming, I'll be your woman!
Zhu Zhuqing did not sit down, but stood in front of Lu Ming, her hands tightly clasped together.
Her dark eyes were fixed on Lu Ming, her chest heaving with excitement.
"What you just said in the group chat... about being able to see everyone's fate, is that true?"
Zhu Zhuqing asked the same question as Shui Bing'er.
But her tone carried more of a desperate plea for confirmation.
She's had enough of her life.
I've had enough of that cowardly Dai Mubai, enough of the cruel family competition in the Star Luo Empire, and enough of this endless darkness.
Lu Ming looked at her and nodded: "Of course it's true."
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Zhu Zhuqing's breathing became even more rapid.
She took a step forward, staring into Lu Ming's eyes: "Then... what was my original fate? Would I die at my sister's hands?"
In her mind, this was her greatest fear.
Family rule: the winner lives, the loser dies.
Her chances of winning against Dai Mubai are almost zero.
"die?"
Lu Ming chuckled and shook his head. "No, you didn't die. Not only did you not die, you became a god."
Zhu Zhuqing's pupils suddenly contracted.
Becoming a god?
How is that possible?
If that's the case, wouldn't that be the best ending? Why did Lu Ming say before that everyone's fate was tragic?
Don't get too excited yet.
Lu Ming seemed to see through her thoughts, and his tone became somewhat playful, "She has indeed become a god, a second-level god, the God of Speed."
"But how did you become a god?"
Lu Ming stood up, walked up to Zhu Zhuqing, and looked down at her.
"You became a god as an appendage of Dai Mubai."
"In your original destiny, you forgave that coward who is now in a brothel, surrounded by women."
"For the sake of the so-called big picture, you suppressed your disgust and used the Martial Soul Fusion Technique with him, even though he had just gotten out of another woman's bed."
"Your entire life is tied to Dai Mubai, that rotten tree."
"You have no self, no dignity, you are just a tool to help him unleash the Netherworld White Tiger."
"Even in the realm of gods, you are merely his foil, watching him continue his carefree and pleasure-seeking life, while you can only guard that empty divine seat. This is what you call becoming a god."
With each word Lu Ming spoke, Zhu Zhuqing's face grew paler.
By the very end, her body had begun to tremble slightly, and her fingernails were digging into her flesh.
She might be able to accept death.
But living like this, living without dignity, as an appendage and a tool, is more painful than killing her!
Although Zhu Zhuqing is a woman of few words and has a cold appearance, she is proud at heart.
She would never allow herself to become like that!
"Forgive him... as an accessory..."
Zhu Zhuqing muttered to herself, a deep disgust flashing in her eyes.
She thought of Dai Mubai's face, his silhouette as he fled the Star Luo Empire, and his romantic escapades in Soto City.
So, I'm going to waste my whole life on such a scumbag?
"No... I don't want this fate!"
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly raised her head, her eyes slightly red, her voice carrying a hint of determination, "Lu Ming, since you know all this, you must have a way to change it, right?"
She looked at Lu Ming as if she were a drowning person grasping at a last straw.
"certainly."
Lu Ming reached out and gently stroked Zhu Zhuqing's cold and delicate cheek. "With me here, your fate will naturally no longer have anything to do with that good-for-nothing."
"You can be yourself, be the real Ghost Cat, or even… be my cat."
Upon hearing the last three words, Zhu Zhuqing's body stiffened abruptly.
She looked up at Lu Ming's deep, starry eyes.
There was no trace of Dai Mubai's evasiveness or cowardice there, only overwhelming confidence and naked possessiveness.
But strangely, she didn't resent this possessiveness.
On the contrary, she felt a sense of security she had never felt before in front of this man.
He can see through fate, he can trample on the gods, and he can give her everything she wants.
Compared to her fiancé who only knew how to run away, this man in front of her was the real strongman.
"Thank you..."
Zhu Zhuqing spoke softly, her voice barely audible.
The next second, she made a bold decision.
She tiptoed, wrapped her arms around Lu Ming's neck, and her cool red lips clumsily but firmly pressed against Lu Ming's lips.
It was an awkward kiss.
With the courage to take a desperate gamble, and with the yearning for a new destiny.
Lu Ming did not refuse the beauty's advances.
He reached out and embraced Zhu Zhuqing's incredibly slender waist, taking the initiative and deepening the kiss.
The temperature in the room rose rapidly.
The once icy Netherworld Cat melted into a pool of spring water in Lu Ming's arms.
Since we're going to sever ties with our past, let's start living a different life from tonight.
The lights went out.
...
at the same time.
Poseidon Island, thousands of miles away.
The raging waves crashed against the rocks on the shore, creating a deafening roar, as if the sea was venting its anger.
The atmosphere inside the Temple of Poseidon was oppressively suffocating.
The seven guardians of the sacred pillars gathered together, and even the island's guardian beast, the Great White Shark Little White, transformed into human form and knelt in the center of the hall.
All eyes were focused on the throne that symbolized the highest power on Poseidon Island.
There sat the high priest Poseidon.
But by this time, Poseidon had long lost the noble, elegant, and godlike aura she once possessed.
Her face was pale, her eyes were red and swollen, and she could barely hold the scepter in her hand.
"Great Master, are you... are you telling the truth just now?"
Sea Dragon Douluo knelt on the ground, his voice trembling, his face filled with disbelief, "You want to... resign from the position of Grand Elder?"
For the people of Poseidon Island, these words were like the sky falling.
Who is Poseidon?
She is the spokesperson for the Sea God, the anchor of Sea God Island, and the pillar of faith in the hearts of all Sea Soul Masters.
How could she resign?
If we don't make grand offerings, what will happen to Poseidon Island? Who will protect the glory of the sea god?
Poseidon looked down at his subordinates who had followed him for many years, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes, but more so a deathly despair.
"glory?"
Poseidon gave a bitter laugh, the sound echoing in the empty hall, sounding particularly desolate. "Where is there any glory left?"
"The sea god we've worshipped our whole lives is nothing but a despicable and shameless scoundrel."
"Our proud mission is nothing but a joke, a way to benefit others."
"Sea Dragon, Sea Spear...do you know them?"
Poseidon stood up and slammed his scepter heavily on the ground. "What Emperor Lu said just now is all true."
"My so-called High Priest has only one purpose in existence: to sacrifice myself for the next Sea God, to die!"
