Gathering at the Divine Hall
Zhu Zhuqing is like a wild little cat; she is usually quite docile, but when she gets angry, she can be quite fierce.
At this point, it's useless to speak nicely to her; only by conquering her forcefully and domineeringly can you make this little wildcat become docile again.
That's exactly what Lu Yuan did.
Lu Yuan stroked Zhu Zhuqing's soft hair, his voice gentle, "Zhu Qing, don't be angry. You can say whatever you want. As long as I can change, I will definitely change!"
Zhu Zhuqing raised her head, looked intently at Lu Yuan, and said, "If I asked you to give up Qian Renxue, would you do it?"
"No!" Lu Yuan's answer was decisive and firm. "Xiao Xue is the person I love most in this life. To me, she is more important than anything else."
Meeting Zhu Zhuqing's gaze, Lu Yuan answered firmly.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing trembled. She had heard Lu Yuan's words clearly, and a pang of sadness welled up in her heart.
Qian Renxue is the person he loves most. So, is neither Hu Liena nor anyone else in Lu Yuan's heart as good as Qian Renxue?
For some reason, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly felt like crying.
Since none of them are as important as Qian Renxue, if one day Qian Renxue asks Lu Yuan to give her up, will Lu Yuan comply?
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing felt a chill run through her heart.
For the first time, she felt disgusted by the man's frankness.
This man would never hide anything from her, no matter what it was. Originally, Zhu Zhuqing was very happy because there were almost no secrets between them. But now, Zhu Zhuqing felt disgusted that this man had said to her face that he loved another woman the most. This made Zhu Zhuqing very uncomfortable.
It feels like my heart is being clenched, it's really painful.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Zhu Zhuqing raised her question.
"No!" Lu Yuan wiped away the tears from Zhu Zhuqing's eyes and said, "The three of you, whether it's you, Senior Sister, or Xiao Xue, I will not abandon any of you. You are all mine!"
"Scumbag!" Zhu Zhuqing gently punched Lu Yuan's chest with her jade-like hand, but she breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Lu Yuan wouldn't give up on her, even if she might receive less love, Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth and accepted it.
Lu Yuan remained noncommittal regarding Zhu Zhuqing's accusations of being a scumbag.
If being called a scumbag a few times is enough to win over Xue'er, Senior Sister, and Zhu Qing, then come on, come on, come on! What do mere comments about being a scumbag mean to Lu Yuan's skin, which is thicker than a city wall?
Moreover, in the Douluo Continent, polygamy is the norm, so marrying three wives doesn't seem like a sign of a scumbag!
What is a "scumbag"?
A real scumbag is one who flirts with you and then doesn't take responsibility!
He's just a bit of a womanizer!
But now that he has three, it seems his level of infidelity is about the same.
Lu Yuan thought to himself.
"Let's forget about Qian Renxue, but you have to promise that you won't bother other girls again," Zhu Zhuqing said.
"Of course!" Lu Yuan quickly assured him, "Actually, I rarely mess with girls. Apart from Xiao Xue, I've hardly ever pursued any girls. Senior Sister and you have rather special circumstances. I promise that unless some unavoidable factors occur, the three of you will be my only girlfriends in this lifetime!"
"Uncontrollable factors, what do you mean?" Zhu Zhuqing's gaze was unfriendly.
"Ahem, so-called uncontrollable factors are things that are beyond human control, like me seeing you naked, that kind of thing, that's an uncontrollable factor!" Lu Yuan said.
"You still dare to say that?" Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face turned red, and she pinched Lu Yuan hard!
But she didn't say anything more in opposition. In fact, the relationship between her and Lu Yuan was also an irresistible factor.
Originally, Lu Yuan and she were quite polite to each other. She slept in the tent, but Lu Yuan preferred to sleep outside rather than share a tent with her. This shows that Lu Yuan is a trustworthy person.
After all, although Zhu Zhuqing wasn't narcissistic, she knew that her looks and temperament were top-notch, not to mention that she matured early and had a figure that was superior to that of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.
Lu Yuan's ability to keep his eyes straight ahead is enough to prove his strong self-control.
Lu Yuan later accepted her because he would have to see her naked body to heal her wounds. As a man, he had to take responsibility at that time. After all, Douluo Continent was still a somewhat conservative society, just like ancient China, where etiquette and laws were quite strict.
At the very least, this was the kind of education Zhu Zhuqing herself received.
However, if she doesn't receive treatment, Zhu Zhuqing will die.
After weighing the two options, Lu Yuan made this decision.
This can be considered an unavoidable factor, so Zhu Zhuqing can understand Lu Yuan's words.
But while she understood, Zhu Zhuqing didn't want to have another sister.
"Hmph, I don't care, you can't look for anyone else in the future!" Zhu Zhuqing didn't know what to say, so she simply resorted to a girl's unique skill: being unreasonable and making a fuss over nothing!
But Lu Yuan really didn't have a good way to deal with Zhu Zhuqing's trick.
"Alright, alright, I promise you, okay?" Lu Yuan was a little helpless. Zhu Zhuqing was really hard to handle. She was really docile when she was docile, but she was also a master at causing trouble.
Lu Yuan suddenly missed Hu Liena. Senior sister is so much better; she's so obedient!
Basically, Hu Liena never stops Lu Yuan from doing whatever he wants.
"Mmm!" Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Zhu Zhuqing instantly transformed from a wildcat into a docile kitten, nestled in Lu Yuan's arms, letting him play with her hair, behaving with utmost obedience.
Lu Yuan's lips twitched. Spending too much time with him had made Zhu Zhuqing start to act out. Sigh, where did my aloof Zhu Qing go?
Where did it go?
Lu Yuan sighed deeply, released Zhu Zhuqing, and pointed to his back.
Zhu Zhuqing wasn't shy at all. She came to Lu Yuan, jumped lightly onto his bed, and wrapped her arms around Lu Yuan neck.
Lu Yuan held Zhu Zhuqing's long legs in his hands, feeling the wonderful sensation. He focused his mind and stepped on the Phoenix Dance Six Illusions, moving forward quickly.
Zhu Zhuqing pressed her pretty face against Lu Yuan's back. Lu Yuan's broad back gave Zhu Zhuqing a strong sense of security, and she felt very satisfied.
While Lu Yuan was on his way, the others in the ruins were also heading towards the temple. After all, anyone with a brain knew that the final treasure of the ruins must be in the temple.
As the saying goes, "Looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death," Lu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing traveled for three whole days before finally reaching the center of the plain.
At the center, the temple stands tall, and the entire temple is covered with lush vegetation. Perhaps because it was left by the Goddess of Life, it still exudes a strong vitality, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
When Lu Yuan arrived, others had already reached the ruins.
