Chapter 41: Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong’er, a Strange Ability Capable of Distorting Thoughts
[Daddy Douluo]: But honestly, I’ve always found it unbelievable.
After sending this, he couldn’t help but click his tongue and shake his head.
[A Rogue Rabbit]: A-Qing, what’s unbelievable?
[Daddy Douluo]: Just that someone like Dai Mubai, who’s so lecherous and has such pathetic strength—the fact that Zhu Zhuqing could actually forgive him in the end and even stay with him really redefined my understanding!
He thought of that awkward romance arc in the original plot, and his desire to complain exploded.
He thought: If this were on a modern forum, Zhu Zhuqing’s behavior would definitely be flamed as a terminal case of "love brain."
[Little Witch]: Oh ho ho, I smell drama again! Preparing to eat popcorn.jpg
By the roadside, Ning Rongrong’s eyes were wide, her face glowing with the light of gossip.
She didn’t know much about the Star Luo Empire’s affairs, but this kind of emotional drama was the best!
[Daddy Douluo]: It’s an old story. They’re both from the Star Luo Empire and have been engaged since childhood—a political marriage, the kind tied to their families. Yeah, a very classic trope.
[Daddy Douluo]: Zhu Zhuqing went through all that trouble to find him at Shrek Academy just to escape her Family and prove herself to Dai Mubai.
As he typed this, Lin Qingmo felt it wasn’t worth it for Zhu Zhuqing.
Traveling all that way only to see her fiancé with his arms around other women?
What a hellish joke.
Inside the inn.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lin Qingmo’s words in shock.
Is he talking about me?
How did he know her purpose for coming to Shrek Academy? He was even so clear about her past!
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Then Zhu Zhuqing really is a devoted soul.
Inside Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong put down the files in her hand and raised an eyebrow.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: But does she not know what kind of person Dai Mubai is? If she knew he was so lecherous, she definitely wouldn’t forgive him, right?
She had a fierce and straightforward personality and couldn’t stand this kind of relationship where one settles for less.
She didn’t look in the mirror before saying these things.
[Daddy Douluo]: She knows all too well!
Lin Qingmo replied decisively.
[Daddy Douluo]: Zhu Zhuqing is perfectly aware of Dai Mubai’s philandering at Shrek! She even had several conflicts with him because of it.
He remembered those arguments in the original plot; they were always all bark and no bite.
In the end, it always concluded with an empty promise of "I’ll change"—and then Dai Mubai continued his wild ways.
Even after reaching the God Realm, Dai Mubai was still fooling around.
[Daddy Douluo]: But Zhu Zhuqing, well, she’s just not self-assertive enough.
Lin Qingmo began to analyze, feeling like an emotional blogger.
[Daddy Douluo]: She can’t break through the psychological limitations of the traditional engagement and Family expectations. Moreover, she has a bit of a "worship of the strong" mentality towards the future, stronger Dai Mubai—gradually shifting from "wanting to prove herself" to "depending on Dai Mubai."
The more he spoke, the more regretful he felt.
A Spirit Master with good talent, ending up living as someone else’s accessory.
It seems Xiao Wu was much the same, becoming God King Tang’s scabbard for the Asura Sword.
[Daddy Douluo]: Zhu Zhuqing actually ended up with him in the end. She’s practically Dai Mubai’s portable accessory, with no sense of self to speak of.
Lin Qingmo drew his conclusion bluntly.
He thought: If she awakened an independent female consciousness, the plot would have to be rewritten as a female-lead power fantasy.
Suotuo City Inn.
Inside the dim room.
Zhu Zhuqing stared at every word on the light screen, her breathing gradually quickening.
With Lin Qingmo exposing her character flaws in a single sentence, her brain hummed.
Those words were like knives, precisely dissecting the inner self she had always been avoiding.
"Will I really... forgive Dai Mubai?"
She murmured to herself, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible.
Coming to Suotuo City was originally to find Dai Mubai and prove herself, to prove she wasn’t inferior to him, or even stronger than him.
The moment she saw Dai Mubai with his arms around other women, a sense of disgust overwhelmed her.
Now Lin Qingmo says—she will eventually forgive him, depend on him, and become his accessory?
"Impossible..."
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head violently, her black hair swaying with the movement.
But deep in her heart, a voice was faintly questioning.
What if she were in a desperate situation? What if the Family pressured her? What if... there were no other options?
Amidst the entanglement of confusion and fear, her fingers trembled as she typed a line on the light screen.
[Big-Breasted Kitty]: @Daddy Douluo, A-Qing... She paused, deleted it, and rewrote.
[Big-Breasted Kitty]: A-Qing, do you think it’s possible for Zhu Zhuqing to change?
As she sent it, Zhu Zhuqing’s heart beat like a drum.
She stared intently at the light screen, waiting for the answer.
Both expectant and afraid.
At the hotel entrance,
Lin Qingmo was stunned for a moment when he saw this message from Zhu Zhuqing.
[Daddy Douluo]: Emmm, Kitty, you often say in the group that you hope Zhu Zhuqing will change. Asking this, could it be you want me to help her?
[Big-Breasted Kitty]: I... Zhu Zhuqing didn’t know; she just wanted to know how Lin Qingmo, who knew her experiences, viewed someone like her.
Would she have a chance to pursue the freedom she wanted?
[Daddy Douluo]: If she could be more confident and not be bound by the engagement and tradition, with her talent, although she might not become the ultimate powerhouse, becoming an excellent Spirit Master would definitely be no problem. She wouldn’t need to depend on anyone at all.
Lin Qingmo truly believed this.
Zhu Zhuqing’s Hell CivetSpirit has some potential; agility-system Spirit Masters are very popular.
[Daddy Douluo]: Moreover, her sister Zhu Zhuyun doesn’t actually have the intent to kill her.
This was his analysis based on the original plot—that sisterly bond was actually a bit complicated.
[Daddy Douluo]: But in the original plot, the existence of her and Dai Mubai’s Martial Soul Fusion Skill actually made her even more dependent on him.
Typing up to here, Lin Qingmo’s expression turned serious.
After all, some effects of Martial Soul Fusion Skills are quite problematic.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: What’s wrong with Martial Soul Fusion Skills?
He organized his thoughts,
[Daddy Douluo]: To be honest, Martial Soul Fusion Skills are quite strange; they have a bit of... thought-distorting power.
Lin Qingmo tried to describe it in plain language.
[Daddy Douluo]: If two people truly love each other, the Fusion skill will deepen their feelings and increase their synergy. If they don’t truly love each other, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill can even make them fall in love.
But the premise is that the two truly like each other; then this effect is just the icing on the cake.
If two people who hate each other can use a Fusion skill,
then the more it’s used, the weaker party will involuntarily "fall in love" with the dominant party.
Gradually being influenced by the other party, even changing their own emotions and will.
This setting is terrifying when you think about it—it’s equivalent to a subtle transformation on a spiritual level.
It’s not just the case of Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.
In unrivaled tang sect, an even better example is Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.
One has the Spirit Eyes and Ice Jade Empress ScorpionSpirits, yet can perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with the completely unrelated Radiant Butterfly Goddess and Clear Sky HammerSpirits.
Even after the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, their hearts would throb, and initially, in Huo Yuhao’s eyes, Wang Dong’er was a guy.
Their hearts throbbing while they were both identified as men is just perverse.
Seeing that, Lin Qingmo couldn’t help but suspect if the "pure and noble" God King Tang had a hand in it.
[Daddy Douluo]: In Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai’s "Hell White Tiger," the dominant party is Dai Mubai.
[Daddy Douluo]: So in the original plot, Zhu Zhuqing gradually forgave him and depended on him. To a large extent, she was influenced by the power of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
As Lin Qingmo sent this, his tone carried obvious regret.
A perfectly independent girl, screwed over by this kind of mechanism—who wouldn’t shake their head at that?
[Little Witch]: Hiss! That’s just too creepy!
After hearing what Lin Qingmo said, Ning Rongrong hugged her arms on the street, really getting goosebumps!
[Little Witch]: This isn’t a Fusion skill; it’s a brainwashing skill, isn’t it?
[Bingbing]: There’s actually such a good thing?
[Bingtian Xuemi]:?
