Dai Tianfeng, Come Out and Watch the Fireworks

"Lu Yuan, wait! You're going to the Star Luo Imperial Palace—what about me? What am I supposed to do?" Seeing that Lu Yuan and the others seemed intent on leaving her behind, Zhu Zhuyun hurriedly asked.

"You? Stay here. You can return with Vice Sect Master and the others when the time comes," Lu Yuan said indifferently, glancing at Zhu Zhuyun.

"No, I have to stay by Zhu Qing's side at all times. I need to take care of her," Zhu Zhuyun said.

"I don't need you to take care of me. Besides, I think you just want to take the chance to get close to Xiao Yuan. Other than me, everyone going is a man. How are we supposed to bring you along? Do you want Xiao Yuan to carry you there?"

Zhu Zhuqing spoke coldly.

"That wouldn't be so bad," Zhu Zhuyun said with a coquettish smile.

"You wish," Zhu Zhuqing said icily.

"Enough, stop fooling around and stay behind. The journey to the Star Luo Imperial Palace is long, and we'll be rushing there at full speed. Bringing you along really would be inconvenient. Besides, we aren't going to Star Luo for a leisurely outing. We'll have to fight Dai Tianfeng, and we won't have much energy left to look after you."

"If something goes wrong and you die there, that'd be on me."

Lu Yuan spoke softly.

Zhu Zhuyun's lips twitched at that, and several dark lines fell over her forehead. Could this Lu Yuan even speak properly? Was he cursing her to death?

"That's settled. I'm not wasting any more words on you. We're leaving first." With that casual remark, Lu Yuan gave Zhu Zhuyun no time to react. Golden light flared around him, accompanied by resounding dragon roars. The Golden Dragon Spirit possessed him.
