The Sweating Star Luo Emperor, Zhu Zhuqing's Marriage Contract Dissolved

"Guards! Seize these brazen criminals!!!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The atmosphere had reached its breaking point.

At the Star Luo Emperor's command, countless experts around them surged forward.

"It's over. It's over. We're completely doomed this time!"

"I got them involved."

Zhu Zhuqing felt that her death was imminent.

Aiven's group was surely doomed. She had dragged them into this, though they were also far too bold.

In Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, this was already a dead end.

There was not even the slightest chance of survival!

Dai Mubai was thrilled and excited, wearing a smug grin. "Hehehe, you trash actually dared to treat me like that. You're dead now! Kill them! Kill them!!"

But at that moment—

The four fierce generals beside Aiven—Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Jiang Wei—erupted with unprecedentedly terrifying auras!

In that instant,

the power and presence of Titled Douluo corresponding to each of them was unleashed to the fullest.

Terror engulfed the entire scene at that moment!

"Die!!!"

Splat~

"Ahhh...!"

The four attacked simultaneously. With just one strike, they sent over a hundred experts rushing in to surround them flying. Some were crippled, while others died.

Bang!

Miserable screams rang out before the palace gates.

"Titled Douluo!!"

"They're all Titled Douluo-level experts!!!!"

"Ahh... Ahh!!"

Countless people fell into panicked cries.

"How is this possible!!!"

The Star Luo Emperor, Dai Weisi, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuyun, and Zhu Zhuqing were all stunned.

While they were still reeling in shock,

Aiven's domineering voice echoed in everyone's ears. "Dog Emperor, did you really think I needed hostages to achieve my goal?"

"Hostages are unnecessary when dealing with your Star Luo Empire."

Aiven's incomparably arrogant words continued to echo.

The Star Luo Emperor's face was filled with fear and wariness. Only after Lu Bu and the others released their power did he finally understand who these people were. "You... You couldn't possibly be..."

Before the Star Luo Emperor could finish speaking, Lu Bu instantly charged at him!

"Your Majesty!!"

"Protect His Majesty! Protect His Majesty!!!"

The Star Luo Emperor shouted in panic as a large number of experts rushed over to shield him.

"Halberd Slash!"

Yet all of them were blasted away by Lu Bu's terrifying strike.

The Sky Piercer was pressed against the Star Luo Emperor's neck.

"Your Majesty!!!"

No one dared to make another reckless move.

The Star Luo Emperor was drenched in sweat, cold sweat pouring down his back.

Aiven finally released his martial soul as well. A dazzling golden Emperor Sword appeared in his hand.

He walked forward step by step, eventually pressing the sword against the Star Luo Emperor's chest. His voice was brimming with authority. "Star Luo Emperor, I'm taking Zhu Zhuqing with me today. As for her marriage contract, I don't want to repeat myself a second time."

"You'd better know what's good for you."

"Aiven Kingdom... You... You really are the king of Aiven Kingdom!!"

The Star Luo Emperor's face darkened as he revealed Aiven's identity in his panic.

"The king of Aiven Kingdom!!"

"A... a king?"

"Heavens!"

"H-He's actually the king of Aiven Kingdom!!" Zhu Zhuqing covered her mouth in shock.

This little boy, who was about the same age as her, was actually the legendary king of Aiven Kingdom!

The ruler of a kingdom with several Titled Douluo-level experts under his command!

"No wonder... No wonder they could act so fearlessly." Zhu Zhuqing was overjoyed.

Holy shit!!

The entire crowd erupted into an uproar.

The Star Luo Emperor tried hard to calm his panic, his expression grim. "Do you not fear that the Star Luo Empire will send troops to attack your Aiven Kingdom after what you have done today?!"

"Then send your troops and attack. Aiven Kingdom will take you on." Aiven replied indifferently.

The Star Luo Empire's national strength was considerably greater than the Heaven Dou Empire's, but the Star Luo Empire was the one they feared least, because it was too far away.

To attack Aiven Kingdom, they would first have to pass through Heaven Dou Empire territory.

Cross-border warfare was highly unrealistic. There were far too many factors to consider.

"You!!" The Star Luo Emperor had never felt so humiliated.

He was the emperor of an empire, yet he was being oppressed by the king of a mere kingdom!

But his life was currently in their hands, and they truly did not dare to rashly attack Aiven Kingdom.

The Star Luo Emperor could only compromise grudgingly. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Bring Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai's Marriage Contract. I hereby declare that their arranged marriage is annulled!!!"

"Yes!"

A short while later,

the Marriage Contract was delivered into Aiven's hands.

Looking at the Marriage Contract in Aiven's hand, Zhu Zhuqing felt as if she were dreaming. "He really... really did it."

Aiven took the Marriage Contract and walked over to Zhu Zhuqing. Smiling faintly, he said, "Zhu Zhuqing, from tonight onward, you are free. You can do whatever you want and go wherever you wish."

"Unrestrained, unshackled, free as you please."

As he spoke, Aiven set the Marriage Contract ablaze.

As she watched it burn into ashes, light flickered in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. Tears filled her eyes once more, and she had never felt so moved as she did in this moment.

From this moment onward, her future life would undergo earth-shattering changes.

She threw herself into Aiven's arms and hugged him tightly, crying with gratitude and excitement. "Sob, sob... Thank you, Aiven."

"Uh..." Aiven's body stiffened. After hesitating for several seconds, his outstretched hands slowly wrapped around Zhu Zhuqing as well.

A rare hint of gentleness appeared on Aiven's face. He patted Zhu Zhuqing's head and comforted her. "Alright, stop crying."

"Didn't you want to attend Aiven Kingdom Direct Academy? I'll take you there, and I'll take you out of Star Luo City."

"Mhm, mhm~"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded heavily. A sincere smile appeared on her usually cold face for the first time in a long while.

"Let's go."

Aiven turned and left with Zhu Zhuqing just like that.

"No! Wait! Zhuqing!!!"

"Don't go! Don't leave me, Zhuqing!!" Dai Mubai cried out in despair.

"Dai Mubai, from now on, there is nothing between us."

Zhu Zhuqing did not even look back as she followed Aiven and the others out of sight.

"Your Majesty, are we really just going to let them leave Star Luo City like this?"

How could the Star Luo Emperor not want to kill them?

But everything that had happened today was too sudden. They had not made any preparations to deal with it. "That boy has four Titled Douluo-level experts beside him. If such experts refuse to fight and focus solely on leaving, they cannot be stopped within Star Luo City."

"But I will never let today's matter rest."

The Star Luo Emperor stared coldly at Aiven's departing back.

"Um, Aiven—no, Your Majesty, are we heading straight back to Aiven Kingdom now?" After learning Aiven's identity, Zhu Zhuqing was clearly a little restrained.

"Hehe, you don't need to call me Your Majesty. Just call me by my name." Aiven smiled, then said, "We're not returning to Aiven Kingdom for now. There are still several places we need to visit."
