Rebirth: The Redemption Heroine in Douluo

Suburbs.

"Let me go!"

Dai Mubai's grip on her wrist was just right; a little more would hurt her, and a little less would allow her to break free easily.

Zhu Zhuqing was a sensitive attacker, and her physical fitness was much inferior to that of a strong attacker. Even though she struggled all the way, she was unable to escape his grip.

At this moment, Dai Mubai finally loosened his strength, and Zhu Zhuqing also took the opportunity to shake him off.

There was a cold vigilance in her eyes, which pierced his heart like a sharp sword. The pain and bitterness flowed through his blood to his limbs and bones, and even his hands and feet began to go numb.

She had never looked at him like this before.

*

Three years ago, in the royal backyard of the Xingluo Empire.

"Xiaoqing...I lost."

The young man knelt on the ground, with countless small scars on his body. His clenched fists slowly loosened, and the light in his eyes slowly dissipated.

The tender but hoarse voice stood out in the quiet back garden, causing the anxious and bewildered girl to start to panic.

"Mu...Mu Bai, don't be sad, we will succeed next time!"

"Will it? Really?"

The young boy suddenly raised his head, with obvious frustration in his eyes and a sneer in his mouth.

"I can't even use the power of the evil eyes, how can I defeat him? I'm such a loser, you... must regret choosing me, right?"

His emotions suddenly became agitated, like a wounded cub trying to remain calm, and he panicked and protested against the people closest to him.

Cowardly and incompetent.

"I will never regret it. You are the destined person I chose myself."

What responded to him was the girl's cool but gentle smile, and the warm touch on her head.

The boy's emotions suddenly broke down, tears rolled down his cheeks, and he sobbed uncontrollably.

The girl next to him squatted down, patted his shoulder gently, leaned her soft little face against his, and kept whispering comforting words.

"We still have a long time. Don't worry. You will master the power of the evil eye one day, just like my nether power."

At this point, the girl suddenly looked at him with some grievance.

"I also can't use the power of the underworld, will you dislike me?"

The young man shook his head violently, his chest still heaving violently after crying bitterly, but his expression was serious and determined.

The girl laughed again

"Me too. I will never, ever dislike you. Even if the final result is something we cannot accept, I am willing to accept it."

At that time, the sun was half setting, and the residual light shone on the girl's profile, causing the tiny hairs to sway slightly.

His heart began to pound, it was the boy's first heartbeat.

Suddenly, a pair of delicate, white hands appeared in front of him, and a voice asked him with a smile:

"It's getting late, why don't you leave?"

...

The memories are frozen in the girl's warm smile, and his life will always remain in that little happy time.

Dai Mubai looked at the girl who was glaring at him, his spine slightly bent, and he finally reached out and gently hugged her.

Almost greedily feeling the long-lost soft body, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and even his breathing became heavy.

"Who are you showing this to?"

A cold voice hit Dai Mubai's ears, and his body was suddenly pushed away.

He saw Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were red, her lips were pursed and pale, and her eyes were full of disgust and disappointment. A huge grief swept over him in an instant, and the words he was about to say became extremely difficult, circling in his throat.

I can't say it and I can't swallow it.

Can't afford to love, can't let go.

Dai Mubai slowly closed his eyes, looking depressed and sad.

Zhu Zhuqing's tightly furrowed brows became tighter and tighter, and the little bit of resentful expectation that had finally risen up disappeared.

He sneered at himself, turned around and left without hesitation.

Stop daydreaming, Zhu Zhuqing, what are you expecting?

Do you want him to explain to you all those years he was gone without saying goodbye? Are you still dreaming that he cares about you?

What about the suffering you endured? What about the fact that you came all the way to see him?

Don't be silly, he doesn't love you at all.

Zhu Zhuqing's tears fell down in big drops, and she staggered but never stopped.

But suddenly I heard that person's hoarse voice again.

"It is very dangerous to go into the netherworld alone, Xiaoqing. I thought... I thought that if I left, you would be free."

"Without a loser like me dragging you along, you wouldn't have to bear the consequences for me. Xiaoqing, I'd rather you never met me than to watch you risk your life for me."

"Xiaoqing...what should I do? After all these years, I still haven't been able to master the power of the Evil Eye. But you came, Xiaoqing. That day, you appeared in front of me."

"What should I do? Xiaoqing...you've become thinner and more beautiful. You even survived a near-death experience to obtain the inheritance of the Netherworld. You traveled thousands of miles to find me."

"I don't want to be a coward, Xiaoqing. But what can I do? He told me that if I continue to be with you, the power of the underworld will definitely take your life. What can I do?"

"Xiao Qing...you said at that time that you would never dislike me, does it still count?"

"Xiaoqing...I love you, are you...still willing to believe it?"

Dai Mubai's words became incoherent, his voice was choked and almost trembling, with deep despair, as if he was speaking every word to Zhu Zhuqing, or as if he was mumbling in regret.

"When I used that combo just now, I felt it all! Your feelings, your disappointment, your pain, I felt it all! The secret of the netherworld allows us to connect with each other, Xiaoqing... I'm sorry. I won't run away anymore, Xiaoqing, I can't let you go, I've never been able to let you go."

"Xiao Qing, can you give me another chance? I will never force my so-called self-righteous love on you again. Can you give me a chance to make amends?"

"Please, don't leave me."

The usually proud man bowed his head for the first time in front of his beloved and begged humbly.

A bitter smile appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's lips. She opened her mouth speechlessly, but found that she had nothing to say.

But why? But on what basis?

Just because he said it was for her own good, would she write off all the pain of his leaving her without saying goodbye, the life and death situation in the netherworld, and the exhaustion and disappointment of traveling thousands of miles?

Just because he said he loved her, would she put aside the past grudges and rekindle their relationship with him?

Stop being funny.

Zhu Zhuqing has never been someone who can't live without someone. She came to find him just because of her unwilling obsession.

Her heart gradually became firmer, and Zhu Zhuqing continued walking, leaving only a receding figure behind her.

The moonlight gradually hangs high in the dome, spreading to the boundless loneliness.

Dai Mubai stood there for a long time, looking in the direction the girl left with empty and stubborn eyes.

He let the darkness swallow him up and fall into the abyss.

The next morning.

"Where's Oscar?"

Flanders stood with his hands behind his back, his brows tightly furrowed, and there was obvious amusement in his tone.

The people standing in a row swallowed their saliva at the same time and were worried about Oscar.

Light candles and observe a moment of silence.

"Ahhhh, I'm going to be late!"

It's Oscar.

The voice came from behind, with such tragedy and fear that everyone couldn't help but look back.

Oscar was running wildly while trying to put on his clothes in a hurry. He had dark circles under his eyes and looked very embarrassed.

Well, damn, that feels familiar.

It’s a pity that he didn’t have the same good luck as last time. Flanders pinched his mustache and raised his eyebrows high.

"How do you want me to punish you? You can choose."

Unexpectedly, Oscar was very arrogant this time. He raised his little finger to his mouth and blew a fart.

"Dean, you can't punish your precious student this time~"

"Oh?"

"I'm level 30!"
