Listen to that.
Was that even something a human would say?
Happy my ass!
Satisfied my ass!
Once she understood the implication, the price had actually gone up!
Was he some kind of devil?
Zhu Zhuyun's face turned pale and green with fury. She nearly ground her silver teeth to pieces.
"I'm the fiancée of the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire!"
Zhu Zhuyun repeated herself heavily.
She wanted him to understand that, in a sense, laying a hand on her was equivalent to provoking the entire Star Luo Empire.
Her life might not be worth much.
But the Star Luo Empire's dignity was worth plenty!
Smack!
The crisp, ringing slap made Zhu Zhuqing look over instinctively.
Zhu Zhuyun blankly raised a hand to touch her burning cheek. The clear sensation and pain told her that this was not a dream.
No one had ever dared to slap her like this!
Thus, after receiving that first slap, Zhu Zhuyun instinctively froze for a moment.
"Other than that sentence, do you have anything else to say?"
"The Crown Princess of the Star Luo Empire? Do you believe I can make sure you never become Crown Princess?"
A trace of impatience flashed through Lu Yuan's eyes. He abruptly rose, clamped a hand around her slender neck, and pinned Zhu Zhuyun against the tree trunk.
Because Soul Power had accelerated his physical development, twelve-year-old Lu Yuan was not much shorter than nineteen-year-old Zhu Zhuyun.
From the side, they were nearly the same height.
But when she saw the killing intent in Lu Yuan's eyes, Zhu Zhuyun, already struggling to breathe, went weak. Her aura unconsciously diminished by half.
"The reason you're still alive is mainly because you're more valuable than these people."
"But if a chess piece refuses to cooperate, then no matter how valuable it is, it's useless."
"There are many ways to destroy a chess piece."
"For example."
His low voice paused.
Riiip!
The black silk cloth across her back was torn to shreds.
Night-traveling Suits had primarily been designed for infiltration and concealment.
Therefore, their defensive capabilities were not outstanding.
Zhu Zhuyun's curvaceous body stiffened, and a trace of struggle and pleading appeared in her eyes.
She forced her mouth open, only to discover that she was too suffocated to speak.
As the oxygen deprivation worsened, her mind grew increasingly muddled.
Only then did Zhu Zhuyun truly begin to panic.
Her small hands tightly gripped Lu Yuan's large hand, seemingly trying to pry away the hand clamped around her neck. Her feet also kicked desperately at Lu Yuan.
But Zhu Zhuyun, already half-conscious, could not muster much strength. Her limp movements looked more like coquettishness than struggle.
Under Zhu Zhuqing's fearful gaze.
Lu Yuan waited quietly for a while longer. Only when he felt her struggles growing weaker and weaker did he suddenly release his hand.
Her long legs could offer Zhu Zhuyun no help.
She could only collapse blankly onto the ground, following her instincts as she gulped down air.
Lu Yuan crouched down, reached out to pinch Zhu Zhuyun's chin, and turned her little face toward him.
"My patience is limited."
"Things can happen once or twice, but not a third time. I'm sure you understand that."
"So, can you give me an answer that satisfies me?"
Her red lips moved slightly.
A weak, feeble sentence drifted into Lu Yuan's ears.
"Very good."
Though he said that, Lu Yuan's gaze remained deep and still as water.
He reached out and stroked the smooth, delicate skin of her back. A flicker of Silver Light flashed across his fingertips.
Ah!!!
Zhu Zhuyun instinctively cried out in pain.
"Shut up!"
His cold voice rang out.
Tears welled up in Zhu Zhuyun's eyes as she hurriedly covered her mouth with both hands.
Though she did not know what this devil was doing to her, it was most likely some means of restricting her.
Yet unexpectedly, Zhu Zhuyun did not feel much hatred in her heart. Instead, she found it perfectly natural.
If he had no means to keep her life in check, she would have found that suspicious instead.
The Silver Light at Lu Yuan's fingertips flickered, then vanished.
The ancient silver character "Yuan" glowed brightly on Zhu Zhuyun's back before quickly dimming.
Once it faded, it looked more like a simple tattoo.
"Not bad luck."
This character was the Flying Thunder God Mark he had developed.
He just could not yet imitate Minato and silently plant a Flying Thunder God Mark inside an opponent through an attack.
But for now, he could barely manage to embed a Flying Thunder God Mark into a human body.
Lu Yuan touched the character.
"Do you know what this is?"
"No."
Zhu Zhuyun answered honestly.
"It's best that you don't know. Just behave yourself."
After casually choking Zhu Zhuyun with that remark, Lu Yuan stood up.
"Get lost!"
A trace of inexplicable grievance flashed through Zhu Zhuyun's eyes. She lightly bit her teeth, picked up the shredded Night-traveling Suit from the ground, and flickered into the forest, vanishing from sight.
Zhu Zhuqing looked slightly tempted.
"Don't even think about chasing her. Even if you catch up, you can't beat her."
Lu Yuan mercilessly poured cold water over the girl.
A Soul Grandmaster challenging a Soul Elder.
Setting aside the difference in Soul Power Level, a Soul Elder had one more soul ring than a Soul Grandmaster!
In other words, one more thousand-year soul skill with far greater power!
Even if that Soul Elder had completely lost her composure, her margin for error was still far greater than a Soul Grandmaster's.
Only Soul Masters with exceptionally high-quality Martial Souls could possibly fight across realms.
For example: Clear Sky Hammer, Seven Kill Sword, Bone Dragon, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
The Hell Spirit Cat definitely could not.
The Hell White Tiger might be able to fight across realms.
"Can you tell me what she said to you?"
After a long silence, the girl could no longer suppress her curiosity and finally asked.
Whenever it came to her sister, Zhu Zhuqing's feelings always became complicated.
On one hand, she told herself that she had to kill her without hesitation.
On the other hand, she always remembered the happy times the two sisters had spent together as children.
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.
"You want to know?"
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Zhuqing finally forced herself to say, "I do."
"She said you can call me brother-in-law now."
"Forget it if you don't want to tell me."
The girl snorted expressionlessly.
That was obviously a lie.
Both she and her sister, Zhu Zhuyun, were tightly bound by Marriage Contracts.
Brother-in-law?
Putting aside the issue of a young man with an older woman, the Star Luo Imperial Family alone would never allow it!
Lu Yuan awkwardly waved his hand. "Just kidding, just kidding."
"What she actually said was that she had unilaterally agreed to this marriage between you and me."
A trace of annoyance flashed through the girl's bright eyes.
"You don't believe me?"
Lu Yuan clearly saw the annoyance in her eyes and asked with a smile.
"Do you think I should?"
"I think you should believe me, Zhu Zhuqing."
"You know my name?"
Zhu Zhuqing instinctively became wary.
"Yes, because your sister told me."
After staring at the composed young man for a while, a look of realization flashed through Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.
"Big liar!"
She said indignantly.
Though she did not know exactly what had happened, her intuition told her that this big liar definitely had not learned her name from her sister!
"Don't call me a big liar. I have a name."
"My name is Lu Yuan."
"Zhu Zhuqing."
Looking at the hand the young man extended, the girl hesitated slightly before reaching out and giving it a light shake. Yet she had not expected him to grip her hand tightly and refuse to let go.
This was the first time the grinning young man and the cold-faced girl met.
It was also the first time they remembered each other's names.
