Chapter 211 - Chapter 211: Zhu Zhuqing’s Rebirth

After leaving the Seven Treasure Hall, Tianlin found Ning Rongrong and brought her to a bamboo forest behind Seven Treasure Mountain, where a bamboo house stood. Usually, no one came here.

Inside, Tianlin released Zhu Zhuqing's corpse, which had been sealed in ice, and used his ultimate fire to melt the ultimate ice.

It was about time to resurrect this little kitty. If he waited much longer, even the Holy Spirit Pearl probably wouldn't be able to bring her back.

"Rongrong, lend me your soul power support," Tianlin said to Ning Rongrong.

"Okay!" Ning Rongrong nodded and summoned her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. "The Nine Treasures, the third is soul!"

This was Tianlin's first time resurrecting someone, so he had to be fully prepared. The Breath of Rebirth skill would rapidly consume his soul power, possibly even causing him to lose a level if things went wrong. But he had no choice; he had to save her. He thought she was pitiful, having been born into such a family.

Tianlin took out the Holy Spirit Pearl, and its pure light shone on Zhu Zhuqing. "First soul skill: Breath of Rebirth!"

The Holy Spirit Pearl, a treasure of the Nuwa clan, lived up to its name. Its life force was astonishing. Zhu Zhuqing's broken meridians were quickly repaired, and even her shattered heart was restored as good as new.

Ning Rongrong marveled from the side. When her Sword Brother's Holy Spirit Pearl emerged in the future, even her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and Nine Heart Begonia would be left in the dust.

Sensing that Zhu Zhuqing's vital signs had recovered, Tianlin retracted the Holy Spirit Pearl.

"Where is this? Hell?" Zhu Zhuqing opened her blurry eyes, her memory still stuck at the moment before her death.

"No, Zhuqing, this is my home, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School." Ning Rongrong appeared before her, smiling.

"What? Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!" Zhu Zhuqing sat up, checked her body, and even pinched herself hard. The pain snapped her awake, disbelief on her face. "I—I'm still alive?"

"You were dead, but I resurrected you. Geez, because of you, my soul power dropped, but at least I didn't lose a level," Tianlin said helplessly.

Resurrecting someone didn't just lower soul power, but the upper limit of soul power. Luckily, he'd prepared, and with Ning Rongrong's support, used this skill. Otherwise, he'd have lost a level.

Now it was fine—he only dropped from peak level 58 to mid-level 58, something he could regain in a month or two.

It helped that Zhu Zhuqing's life level wasn't high, so reviving her didn't cost much.

"Back from the dead! Are you a god?" Zhu Zhuqing was shocked. Even the legendary Nine Heart Begonia couldn't resurrect the dead.

Ning Rongrong proudly hugged Tianlin's arm. "He's not a god, he's my Sword Brother. So, Zhuqing, isn't my Sword Brother much stronger than your tiger?"

When best friends get together, they love to show off not just clothes and jewelry, but also their partners. But this time, Rongrong had hit a sore spot. Zhu Zhuqing still didn't know Dai Mubai had chosen not to return with Davis. If she found out, she'd be even sadder—her fiancé was such a coward.

Tianlin gently tugged Ning Rongrong's finger. She immediately realized her mistake and was about to say something to make up for it, but Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and said, "You're right. He's much better than Dai Mubai. I didn't see him here, which means he chose to live disgracefully, giving up freedom, dignity, and me."

Zhu Zhuqing was stronger than Tianlin thought. Having guessed the truth, she wasn't despairing, but rather relieved. From this moment, she had completely given up on Dai Mubai. From now on, the two of them had nothing to do with each other.

"Zhu Zhuqing, although I've revived you, for a long time, you'll have to stay in this courtyard. Rongrong will prepare everything you need, but unless necessary, don't go anywhere," Tianlin warned.

"Don't worry, I understand," Zhu Zhuqing replied. She knew the consequences if she appeared in public now.

If Zhu Zhuyun found out, she would never let Zhu Zhuqing go and might even cause trouble for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and set them against the Star Luo Empire.

Also, news of her resurrection would bring endless trouble to Tianlin. The power to bring back the dead would be coveted by all.

Both Spirit Hall and the two empires would do whatever it took to control Tianlin. If he refused, they'd rather kill him than let another force use him.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing so sensible, Tianlin smiled. "Don't worry, you won't have to stay here forever. At most, seven to ten years. After that, you can openly join our sect, and we'll protect you. You'll be completely free to travel the world."

"Only seven to ten years? Why?" Zhu Zhuqing asked in pleasant surprise. She'd thought she'd have to hide for thirty years, maybe for life.

"Because within seven to ten years, I'll become a Title Douluo. After that, I won't fear anyone—not even the whole Star Luo Empire," Tianlin said confidently, moving Zhu Zhuqing.

She and Dai Mubai had better potential than Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun. If Dai Mubai had been as confident and determined, maybe things wouldn't have ended like this.

"Alright, you should rest. Rongrong and I won't disturb you. In a few days, I'll bring Hongjun and the others to see you. Your death hit them hard; you should comfort them. After that, you'll be isolated from the world. Treasure this friendship."

Tianlin left with Ning Rongrong. Zhu Zhuqing returned alone to her room to meditate. Having gone from life to death and back again, her mindset had greatly improved. Her training would now be twice as effective.

From now on, aside from cultivation, she didn't have anything else to do.

A few days later, Ning Rongrong brought Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Meng Yiran to the bamboo forest. Seeing the resurrected Zhu Zhuqing, all three were moved to tears. On the day Zhu Zhuqing died, they were powerless to help and watched her kill herself. That would have become a lifelong regret and heart demon for them.

Now, finally, they could let go.

Life returned to normal. With the tournament over, everyone focused on training, aiming to become Title Douluo as soon as possible.
