Father and His Two Sons Were All Rotten

"Four Hundred Thousand Year top-grade soul bones?!"

The Star Luo Emperor cried out in shock.

At this moment, he no longer showed even the slightest anger over the death of his biological son. All that remained was boundless greed for the treasures.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei, despite being level 95 Titled Douluo, revealed expressions of envy and shock as well.

As the head of the ducal Zhu Family, Zhu Youzhi held immense power and status, yet he too stood dumbfounded.

Zhu Zhuqing blinked her black eyes. The man's image in her eyes became even more towering and majestic.

Her girlish heart was stirred at that moment. Her cheeks flushed adorably, and her gaze was filled with worship and infatuation...

Seeing this, Jin Lingfeng put away the soul bones and said with a smile,

"Your Majesty, my second martial soul possesses the ability to refine soul bones from various body parts for others."

"As long as Your Majesty no longer pursues the matter of Dai Mubai, I will help refine soul bones for three parts of Your Majesty's body, raising them to Hundred Thousand Year quality. How about it?"

In an instant, his tempting words fell into Dai Yuanhong's ears, causing his fists to clench tightly.

His gaze shifted between Jin Lingfeng and Dai Mubai as he struggled to make a difficult choice inwardly.

After a long while, Dai Yuanhong's gaze turned cold, though deep excitement and exhilaration glimmered within it.

He stared directly at Jin Lingfeng, snorted coldly, and said angrily,

"Holy Son, Mubai is the son of I, Dai Yuanhong, the Second Prince of the imperial family!"

"Now that he has died at the Holy Son's hands, I should devote everything to avenging Mubai!"

"However, the Star Luo Empire and Spirit Hall have always maintained friendly relations. It would not be appropriate for us to meet in battle."

"How about this? As long as the Holy Son is willing to refine four Hundred Thousand Year soul bones for me, this matter shall be settled."

"I will announce to the public that Mubai died in an assassination attempt. What do you say?"

Everyone knew that the Star Luo Empire and Spirit Hall had always been at odds, like fire and water.

Yet Dai Yuanhong, for the sake of several soul bones, disregarded the bond between father and son and made such a demand!

Jin Lingfeng sneered inwardly. Dai Mubai was scum, and this Star Luo Emperor was no good either.

He actually used Dai Mubai's death to demand more soul bones, and the key was that he made it sound so righteous!

"Your Majesty, that will not be a problem."

"Tomorrow, I will go to the imperial palace and personally refine the soul bones for Your Majesty."

"In less than twenty days, I believe Your Majesty will possess four Hundred Thousand Year soul bones."

"Your Soul Power will break through from level 89 to level 90, becoming a Titled Douluo, and your strength will rise greatly!"

Jin Lingfeng spoke with a smile.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei looked at Dai Yuanhong enviously. Those were a full four top-grade Hundred Thousand Year soul bones!

Zhu Youzhi was ecstatic and extremely satisfied with this future son-in-law.

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes brimmed with springtime affection. Her black eyes stared at the man who made her heart race, and she had already begun imagining the beautiful future she would have with him...

"Good. Then it is settled."

"As for Mubai's corpse, I will send someone to deal with it later."

From the moment Jin Lingfeng agreed, the Star Luo Emperor never looked at Dai Mubai in the pool of blood again.

He was only one son. So what if he was dead?

Dai Weisi could still inherit the throne. Or, after he broke through to become a Titled Douluo,

his body could regain the vigor of his youth, and he could have several more sons to raise...

However, just then,

a man and a woman hurried in from outside.

The person in front wore a robe embroidered with pythons. He was the First Prince, Dai Weisi!

Behind him followed a stunning woman dressed like Zhu Zhuqing in black, form-fitting clothes and high heels.

She was tall and voluptuous, with an exceptionally round, perky backside.

She was clearly older, and an allure unique to mature women flowed from her entire body. She was simply an unparalleled beauty, peerlessly charming!

"Father Emperor!"

"What exactly happened?!"

"Mubai... how did he die?!"

Dai Weisi crouched beside the pool of blood and checked his younger brother's pulse. His expression shifted slightly as he cried out, while inwardly he thought excitedly, Good riddance!

The Star Luo Emperor wore an expression of unbearable grief, squeezing out several tears as he shook his head and sighed.

"Weisi, Mubai was assassinated at the Zhu Family."

"The culprit was an Evil Soul Master. Even the Holy Son and Patriarch Zhu could not save Mubai."

"I... arrived too late as well."

"Mubai, my son!"

"Rest assured, Father Emperor will avenge you. At any cost, I will kill the Evil Soul Master who assassinated you!"

For a time, the Star Luo Emperor's anguished voice echoed through the hall. Jin Lingfeng and the others, who knew the truth, twitched their lips. What acting!

"Father, Zhuqing, how are you two? You were not hurt, were you?"

Zhu Zhuyun came to Zhu Youzhi's other side and supported him as she asked worriedly.

Zhu Youzhi and Zhu Zhuqing looked at each other, then both shook their heads, light hidden in their eyes.

Zhu Zhuyun's willow-like brows furrowed. She always felt that today's events were far from simple.

She looked toward Jin Lingfeng and finally examined him carefully. There was actually such a handsome, perfect man in this world...

At that moment, Jin Lingfeng looked at Zhu Zhuqing. Seeing that she was looking at him as well, he smiled and said,

"Zhu Zhuqing, come with me for a moment."

Then, he walked out of the hall toward the eastern courtyard.

Zhu Zhuqing was immensely shy, her cheeks flushed red as she displayed a young lady's reserved manner. After nodding to Zhu Youzhi, she hurried after Jin Lingfeng.

Her soft lips parted as she murmured shyly to herself,

"Could the Holy Son... be planning to confess to me?"

"Should I just agree to him...?"

By the pond, two figures walked together.

The man wore white robes and carried himself with elegant grace, like a handsome young man stepping out of a painting, a rarity in this world.

The girl was not very old, and her features still held a trace of youthful immaturity.

Yet her curvaceous, perky figure was enough to make women everywhere envy her.

She wore black, form-fitting clothes that outlined her fiery figure, accentuating every curve and making her look sexy and captivating.

Jin Lingfeng's sword-like brows furrowed slightly. He looked at the lotus flowers in the pond, considering how to explain things clearly to the girl.

Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks were scarlet, and she was deeply shy. A faint smile curved her lips.

Ever since childhood, she had grown up in a stifling environment, making her cold and withdrawn.

But after meeting Jin Lingfeng, the tightly closed door to the girl's heart had gradually opened, and she had been deeply moved.

Outside Star Luo City, the man had kept his distance from her. His gaze did not hold the greed or strange intent of other men, and Zhu Zhuqing had begun paying attention to him then.

In truth, when Jin Lingfeng agreed to the shameless demand made by the Star Luo Emperor and was willing to duel a level 59 Soul King, the girl's heart had already begun to stir.

After all, aside from her father, he was the only man since childhood who had been willing to protect her.

Today, when Jin Lingfeng came to the Zhu Family, Zhu Zhuqing had deliberately put on makeup just so the man who moved her heart could see her at her most beautiful.

She had even prepared herself to return with Jin Lingfeng to Spirit City. Wherever the man she loved went, that place would be her home...

Suddenly, the man stopped walking.

The girl looked over, only to discover two burning eyes staring at her.

She quickly lowered her head shyly and asked in a sweet voice,

"Your Highness the Holy Son, did you bring me out here because you have something to say to me?"

Looking at the shy Zhu Zhuqing, Jin Lingfeng recalled how he had similarly rejected Xiao Wu at Nuoding Academy two years ago, and he could not bear it.
