Star Luo Grand Duke, Father and Daughter Do Not Meet

"Evil Soul Master?"

Hearing Zhou Chen's mutterings to himself, Zhu Zhuqing Zhou Chen, who had been perched on his shoulder like a lazy kitten, immediately sat up straight and asked with concern, "Husband, is there anything I can do?"

"No need, let's just wait and see."

Zhou Chen slightly bent his hand and gently put his arm around Zhu Zhuqing's waist, and laughed, "They're just a bunch of self-righteous clowns. Your wise and powerful husband has already laid a net that can't be pulled out of the sky. No matter how much they jump around, they can't escape my grasp."

"Pah, so narcissistic."

Zhu Zhuqing took a sip and gave Zhou Chen a disdainful look. This guy is good in every way, except he's too narcissistic.

"I'm just stating the facts, okay? How is that narcissistic?"

Zhou Chen protested indignantly, then leaned forward and tackled Zhu Zhuqing onto the sofa.

"How dare you slander your husband! Today, your husband will punish you according to family rules!"

As he spoke, Zhou Chen quickly lowered his head and gave Zhu Zhuqing a light peck on her delicate face.

"Mmm..."

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Zhu Zhuqing blushed instantly, her heart pounding like a deer's. She struggled frantically, trying to escape Zhou Chen's clutches.

"You audacious monster, how dare you resist?"

Zhou Chen shouted and grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's two jade-like hands, suppressing her struggles.

Feeling Zhou Chen's strong masculine aura, Zhu Zhuqing felt her body burning up and couldn't muster any strength.

However, Zhu Zhuqing was a Title Douluo after all. Once she recovered, she immediately grabbed Zhou Chen's hands, flipped him over, and pinned him down.

At this moment, Zhou Chen was pressed face down on the sofa, his hands were clasped behind his waist, and he was completely subdued by Zhu Zhuqing.

"My wife, spare me! Spare me! I dare not do it again!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou Chen quickly begged for mercy. As the saying goes, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. Begging his wife for mercy was better than being beaten by her.

"Hmph, where did your courage go?"

Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes widened, her pretty face flushed, and she said angrily, "If you dare to do this again, I won't let you off easily!"

"Yes, I'll definitely try a different strategy next time."

"You dare!"

Seeing that Zhou Chen's wicked intentions remained unchanged, Zhu Zhuqing scolded him and was about to give this big bad Zhou Chen a good beating.

However, at that very moment, outside the auction hall, the announcer's high-pitched voice suddenly rang out:

"Grand Duke Zhu Qingyun of the Star Luo Empire has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing froze, exclaiming in surprise, "Dad?"

"Is your dad here?"

Taking advantage of Zhu Zhuqing's dazed state, Zhou Chen quickly broke free from her grasp and asked in surprise.

"Um."

Zhu Zhuqing stood up somewhat dejectedly and went to the crystal glass curtain wall facing the outside of the auction hall, where she stood silently.

Zhou Chen also quickly got up from the sofa, walked to Zhu Zhuqing's side, and looked out through the crystal curtain wall.

Outside the auction hall, more than a dozen dignitaries from the Star Luo Empire escorted a tall, thin middle-aged man as he slowly walked into the auction hall.

"Is he your dad?"

Zhou Chen pointed to the middle-aged man and asked.

"Um."

Zhu Zhuqing simply hummed in response, revealing that she felt no joy at meeting her family and instead appeared quite unhappy.

This surprised Zhou Chen. Shouldn't a wanderer who is away from home cry tears of joy when he sees his father?

What exactly caused Zhu Zhuqing's relationship with her father to be so bad?

Is this just another old-fashioned family feud, a conflict between legitimate and illegitimate children?

Thinking of Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing's sister-in-law, who had once hunted down Zhu Zhuqing, Zhou Chen felt that this guess was probably true.

I've been so busy these past few months that I've completely forgotten about Zhu Zhuyun, who's been imprisoned. I should go back to Notting City in a few days and visit her in the palace.

Raising an eyebrow, Zhou Chen sized up Zhu Qingyun again and discovered that this cheap Father-in-law was at least Soul Douluo of level 80 or above.

As expected of a powerful family in the Star Luo Empire that has lasted for thousands of years, they certainly have the strength.

Looking at Zhu Qingyun, Zhou Chen suddenly asked with some doubt, "Zhu Zhuqing, for such an important event as the auction of the Longevity Pill, shouldn't the Star Luo Empire send a member of the royal family? Why did they send your father?"

"Do they dare?"

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Zhou Chen as if he were an idiot and said indifferently, "The Star Luo Royal Family and the Dai Family have a deep-seated hatred for you, Young Master Zhou. How could they dare to send a member of the royal family? Dai Mubai died a very tragic death."

"Well..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen suddenly caught his breath, then asked incredulously, "You knew all along?"

"I'm silly, but not stupid."

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head slightly and gave a self-deprecating smile, "You're really ruthless. You actually killed Dai Mubai on our first meeting. The person I fell in love with is such a ruthless person."

"Zhu Zhuqing, I'm so sorry..."

Just as Zhou Chen was about to apologize, Zhu Zhuqing reached out her delicate hand and covered his mouth.

"Don't apologize. You are my husband. No matter what you do, as long as you don't destroy the world, I will support you."

Zhu Zhuqing looked intently at Zhou Chen, her beautiful eyes filled with unwavering love.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen felt a stinging sensation in his eyes. He reached out and pulled Zhu Zhuqing into a tight embrace, feeling her soft, boneless body, and a warmth filled his heart.

With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?

"Thank you, Zhu Zhuqing."

At the same time.

Outside the auction hall, important figures continued to flock in.

"Duke Marshal Ge Long of the Heaven Dou Empire, has arrived!"

"City Lord Chen Tianjie has arrived in Vast Sea City, Heaven Dou Empire!"

"The Star Luo Empire..."

One by one, dignitaries from the two great empires arrived, and the onlookers gradually grew numb, until...

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, Star Douluo, His Yu Xingchen Star has arrived!"

These words immediately caused a stir in the audience.

The Upper Three Sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, have finally arrived!

Moreover, if they heard correctly, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family actually sent a Title Douluo this time?

This is a true top-tier expert! Among all these distinguished guests, only Sword Douluo Chen Xin is at the Title Douluo level!

At this moment, in a VIP room of the auction house, Hu Liena and the other members of the Spirit Hall looked at each other with surprise and uncertainty.

"My lord, isn't there only one Thunder Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen, among the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex? Have you ever heard of this Star Douluo, Yu Xingchen?"

Hu Liena looked at the Golden Crocodile Douluo beside her in surprise and asked.

Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo frowned his snow-white eyebrows, pondered for a long time, and then slowly said, "Yu Xingchen is the Great Elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family. I met him once sixty years ago, when he was already a Soul Douluo. But his talent was quite ordinary, and he should have stopped at the Soul Douluo level."

"So many years have passed, I thought he was dead, but I never expected that he would break through the obstacles and reach the Title Douluo realm!"
