Intimidation
"So, Eldest Sister, you don't need to worry about my safety at all!"
Besides, I had my reasons for having to come back!
After proving her strength and fearlessness in the face of threats, Zhu Zhuqing finally revealed her true purpose.
"What, did you get into trouble outside?"
Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Zhu Zhuyun instinctively thought that Zhu Zhuqing might have gotten into trouble.
Zhu Zhuqing had just mentioned that she had fought with Dugu Bo. Could it be that she came back because she couldn't make it in the Heaven Dou Empire anymore?
"No, Eldest Sister I'm the kind of person who likes to cause trouble?!"
Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes.
"If you don't like causing trouble, why would you run away from home?"
Okay, tell me, what are you planning to do this time?
Zhu Zhuyun had barely accepted the information Zhu Zhuqing was conveying to her, and at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little speechless at this Eldest Sister Eldest Sister never contacted her unless there was something wrong.
"Um, Eldest Sister, if I said I didn't come to see you, would you be angry!?"
Zhu Zhuqing touched her nose. This time, her return to the Star Luo Empire really required some help from the higher-ups of the Star Luo Empire.
For example, her... father, or the White Tiger Great Emperor!
Since the incident with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, Zhu Zhuqing no longer restricts her requirements for Soul Ring based on age. However, it is still quite difficult to find Soul Beast with special Soul Skill and correspondingly high age Soul Beast.
Before I had any strength, I chose to suppress my feelings because I didn't want to be constrained. I spent my days like a wild man, searching for Soul Beast all over the forest.
Don't be fooled by how easily Zhu Zhuqing improved her strength; she put a lot of effort into finding a suitable Soul Ring.
Honestly, she no longer takes the threat from the Star Luo Empire seriously.
She was confident she could easily subdue a Titled Douluo.
But it's unnecessary!
She didn't want to be some kind of the Star Luo Empire Empress; it was too tiring!
Managing a country is too tiring, and there are also responsibilities involved. She just wants to be a free and unrestrained Soul Master.
What she wanted was for the people of the Star Luo Empire to help her find Soul Beast on the Douluo Continent that were suitable for her attributes and had powerful Soul Skill.
The strength of the Soul Beast doesn't matter, and its age is acceptable; the only requirement is that its Soul Skill must be powerful.
However, this type of Soul Beast is either rare or nearly extinct.
She could at least find the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, but other types of Soul Beast were much harder to find.
Although she had the time, she didn't want to waste it on this.
Why not use your power if you have it?
"Zhu Zhuqing, tell me honestly what you're planning to do."
Zhu Zhuyun's expression gradually became serious.
"My strength has increased too quickly, but the number of Soul Beast suitable for me is too small. It is simply unrealistic to find a suitable Soul Beast on my own. So I would like to ask my father or the Great Emperor for help to find some Soul Beast for me!"
Zhu Zhuqing waved her hand and said.
"This..."
Zhu Zhuyun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but the next second she became conflicted again.
Zhu Zhuyun bit her lip slightly and shook her head, saying, "Zhu Zhuqing, you should know that in the Star Luo Empire, our parents didn't have any feelings for us, let alone the Great Emperor."
If you want them to help you, relying on family ties is simply impossible; they won't help you unless there are substantial benefits involved.
Moreover, profit alone is not enough; their ambitions are far more terrifying than you can imagine.
Zhu Zhuyun is telling the truth.
Although Zhu Zhuqing is the Third Miss of the Duke Nether's Mansion, it would take a lot of manpower and resources for the Duke Nether or the White Tiger Great Emperor to do this.
It's simply impossible to get something for nothing.
Although her strength might be able to suppress the White Tiger Great Emperor, human greed can always affect a person's mind.
At that time, Zhu Zhuqing might not find the Soul Beast and instead get into a bunch of trouble.
"Don't worry, Eldest Sister, I believe they will consider it carefully. After all, if they don't help, I won't remember where I'm from anymore."
And you want to steal my things?
"Anyone who dares to reach out, I'll chop their hand off!"
Just as Zhu Zhuyun said, the Star Luo Empire had no feelings for her, and she didn't have much affection for the Star Luo Empire either.
The only reason she chose to return was that the Star Luo Empire was her hometown, and she still wanted to give the Star Luo Imperial Family a chance before the Star Luo Empire completely disappointed her.
"Fine, whatever you say. Let's go see Father first. We can only communicate with His Your Majesty after we've convinced him!"
Seeing that Zhu Zhuyun had made up her mind, Zhu Zhuqing could only sigh inwardly.
However, she dared not take Zhu Zhuqing to see the White Tiger Great Emperor; she planned to take Zhu Zhuqing to see the Duke Nether first.
"Father!? That's fine."
Zhu Zhuqing narrowed her eyes slightly, a black light flashing within them.
The Duke Nether's Mansion!
Since there were no other matters to attend to, Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun were able to meet Duke Nether without any problems.
In the quiet side hall, Duke Nether Zhu Wushi of the Underworld stared expressionlessly at Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun, who both had calm expressions.
"That's great! After being away from home for four years, you've finally decided to come back!"
Zhu Wushi slammed his hand on the table and roared as he watched Zhu Zhuqing.
Although there was little familial affection between them, his anger stemmed not from concern for Zhu Zhuqing Zhu Zhuqing, but from her act of leaving without permission.
You should know that he was ridiculed by the court officials quite a bit because of Zhu Zhuqing's unauthorized departure.
Everyone says that his Zhu Family produced someone as remarkable as the legendary Yu Xiaogang, but instead of focusing on his cultivation, he ran away from home.
This is an absolute disgrace.
"Don't come back if you dare go out... beep~ Come back now... beep~"
Zhu Wushi probably knows that his colleagues have been nagging him about this for years, and he's been going on and on for ten minutes straight since he opened his mouth.
With each passing minute, Zhu Zhuqing's fist clenched tighter.
"Enough!"
Ten minutes later, Zhu Zhuqing could no longer endure it.
Flames burned in his eyes, and with a roar, his aura suddenly pressed down on the Duke Nether.
Gaa!
The Duke Nether, who had been talking non-stop, suddenly fell silent, as if a duck had been choked.
His face turned bright red, and his eyes were filled with terror as he looked at Zhu Zhuqing.
You have to understand that he was a level 88 Great Soul Douluo, but in front of Zhu Zhuqing, he felt that he didn't even have the power to resist.
What exactly happened?
Call!
He let out a long sigh.
Knowing that she was responsible for the criticism her nominal father had received, she chose to tolerate the Duke Nether's overreactions.
But that doesn't mean she'll keep putting up with it forever.
With the suppression of Ultimate Attribute and the suppression of Soul Power, Zhu Wushi was no different from a piece of pork in her eyes.
Reaching out, he pulled the two chairs next to him behind himself and Zhu Zhuyun. As Zhu Zhuqing sat down, the pressure on Zhu Wushi suddenly dissipated.
"Eldest Sister, you talk to him!"
Before coming, Zhu Zhuqing told Zhu Zhuyun some basic information about her, because she didn't want to have any contact with this father she didn't have much affection for.
Without any emotional support, this so-called father was no different from a stranger in her eyes.
It was only because Zhu Zhuyun frequently sent her friendly signals that she cared about anything else in this world.
Now, she has absolutely no desire to communicate with him anymore.
Do whatever you want, I've already been lenient by letting you rant for ten minutes. If you still don't know what's good for you, I'll dismantle your phone!
