Even an Ugly Daughter-in-Law Must Meet Her In-Laws

"Lu Yuan, what are you planning to do later?" Zhu Zhuqing asked, putting on her clothes one by one in front of Lu Yuan without any hesitation.

"Hmm? Aren't there any classes scheduled at the academy?" Lu Yuan asked, looking at Zhu Zhuqing's exquisite figure with great interest.

"No, the dean and the other teachers, along with that so-called Grandmaster, have been busy treating Tang San these past two days and haven't had any classes for several days," Zhu Zhuqing said.

"Heh!" Lu Yuan smiled faintly. It seems that Tang San is seriously injured.

But it makes sense. The injuries he sustained from Lu Yuan's attack hadn't fully healed, and he suffered several more injuries afterward. The severity of his injuries might even affect his future potential. In addition, witnessing Tang Hao die at the hands of the Sky Azure Bull Python and becoming estranged from his sister Xiao Wu, this double blow, both psychological and physical, would probably break Tang San.

Even if Tang San recovers, his personality will likely change drastically.

Thinking about it, Tang San really was quite pitiful. Lu Yuan felt a little embarrassed, but he quickly dismissed the thought.

Being soft-hearted towards one's enemies is a bad idea.

"Has Tang San woken up yet?" Lu Yuan asked again.

"He woke up twice during the journey, saying something about the Sky Azure Bull Python killing Clear Sky Douluo and Xiao Wu being a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form, but he only said a few words before fainting again," Zhu Zhuqing said.

"Hmm, is that so!" Lu Yuan stroked his chin and asked, "What about Dai Mubai? Did that guy try anything funny with you?"

Honestly, Lu Yuan really wanted to just kill Dai Mubai right now. He didn't care about anything else. It wasn't a big deal that someone was secretly eyeing him, but he was afraid that Dai Mubai would cause trouble for Zhu Zhuqing, which Lu Yuan would not allow.

Rather than leaving it as a problem, it's better to nip it in the bud now.

As for what the Star Luo Imperial Family thinks, that's none of Lu Yuan's business. It's just the death of a prince; would the Star Luo Empire really launch a full-scale attack on him?

No way, Dai Weisi might even thank him!

Moreover, with Long Xiaoyao protecting him, what is there to be afraid of?

"No, I don't know why. Dai Mubai has disappeared since returning to the academy and hasn't shown his face for several days now," Zhu Zhuqing said.

"Oh?" Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised. Did Dai Mubai have some kind of premonition and know that he was going to make a move against him?

That's impossible; I've only just started thinking about this.

It must have been the words I said when I asked Long Xiaoyao to stay by Zhu Qing's side that frightened him, since my killing intent at that time was almost completely undisguised.

Dai Mubai must have been scared, so he ran away beforehand.

This guy was lucky, I guess. I'll deal with him when I run into him again. Anyway, he's just a nobody, and his talent is just so-so.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yuan put Dai Mubai aside. Anyway, Zhu Zhuqing was with him now, so there was no danger for her.

"Zhu Qing, I think we should leave now. Come back to the Spirit Hall with me this time, and we can see our teacher together!" Lu Yuan said, looking at Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful appearance.

"Huh?" Zhu Zhuqing was startled when she heard Lu Yuan's words. Lu Yuan's teacher was the current Pope of the Spirit Hall. Would she accept her?

Zhu Zhuqing felt a little nervous.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's expression, Lu Yuan knew exactly what she was thinking.

He walked to Zhu Zhuqing's side, put his arm around her waist, and hugged her, saying, "Don't worry, your teacher is a very gentle person and easy to get along with. She will definitely like you."

"Really?" Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but raise her head, her beautiful eyes staring straight at Lu Yuan.

"Of course!" Lu Yuan pinched Zhu Zhuqing's nose and said, "Besides, an ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her in-laws. Sooner or later you will have to come with me to meet the teacher. You can't run away. After you meet the teacher, I will take you to meet my father. He raised me from childhood. Without him, I would have died long ago. He is the person I respect and love the most."

Speaking of Bibi Dong, Lu Yuan had a strange feeling towards her. He felt a bit of respect for her as a teacher, but more like a caring older sister who was gentle, intelligent, and took meticulous care of him.

It's a bit difficult to treat her like an elder, because although Bibi Dong is over forty, she still looks as youthful and radiant as a young girl, making it hard for people to regard her as an elder.

However, Ferros was someone Lu Yuan truly regarded as an elder; without him, Lu Yuan would have died long ago.

They usually call him "old man" because they have a good relationship.

Lu Yuan decided to find a time to bring Ferros to the Spirit Hall. It was not safe for him to stay in Notting City alone. After all, he was now a member of the Spirit Hall and would definitely have to deal with many forces in the future. Those people could not touch him, but they might target Ferros. It would be safer for him to be brought to the Spirit Hall.

Moreover, Ferros is getting old, and it's time for him to enjoy his retirement; this is his duty as a son.

"Oh!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded, then, as if realizing something, glanced at Lu Yuan with her beautiful eyes and said, "Who are you calling an ugly wife?"

"Am I that ugly?" Zhu Zhuqing stared at Lu Yuan with her beautiful eyes and questioned him.

"Alright, I misspoke. My Zhu Qing is the most beautiful. She's naturally beautiful, stunningly elegant, and breathtakingly gorgeous." Lu Yuan opened his mouth wide and blurted out the praise.

"You're always saying nice things to make me happy!" Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Lu Yuan reproachfully with her beautiful eyes, but her pretty face was full of smiles.

"Hehe!" Lu Yuan chuckled and hugged Zhu Zhuqing, then kissed her.

"Wait a minute!" Zhu Zhuqing stopped Lu Yuan.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yuan asked Zhu Zhuqing, puzzled.

"I haven't finished dressing yet," Zhu Zhuqing said, pointing to her outer garment, which she was only wearing halfway.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan's eyes lit up, and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips. "Come on, Zhu Qing, let me help you get dressed!"

"Ugh, you're so mean!" Zhu Zhuqing's slightly shy voice rang out.

Holding Zhu Zhuqing's hand, Lu Yuan walked with her toward the teachers' office.

He's about to leave, so I should at least say goodbye; after all, it's best to part on good terms.

Arriving at Flender's door, Zhao Wuji and the Grandmaster were both there. Lu Yuan's arrival was spotted by Zhao Wuji, whose eyes immediately lit up.

"Lu Yuan, you're back?" Zhao Wuji's voice was like a muffled thunder. His short but very strong body suddenly stood up, and his face showed a look of surprise.

Flender and the Grandmaster also turned their attention to Zhao Wuji when they heard his voice.

Seeing the concern on Zhao Wuji's face, Lu Yuan smiled. Zhao Wuji was the person he got along with best at the Shrek Academy.

Over the course of a year, the two fought every few days, and their relationship had become quite familiar.

He was also the only person Lu Yuan acknowledged at the Shrek Academy.
