Zhu Lingyun, the Woman Whose Physical Body Had Reached Yellow-grade Great Perfection
As for Zhu Zhuyun herself, she has already set off with the team, preparing to lead Star Luo Royal Academy to the finals.
In her own words, she wanted to see things through to the end and leave with dignity.
After having a simple lunch in the city, Lin Hai headed straight for the Imperial Palace.
Using the precise route map drawn by Zhu Zhuyun, he Teleportation silently from an alley outside the palace into Empress Zhu Lingyun's bedroom.
There were no palace maids in the room, only a woman in black lying on her side on a soft couch, taking a nap.
Her stunning figure, barely concealed beneath the thin black veil, was truly exemplary.
Especially its plumpness, like a full moon on the sixteenth of August, was absolutely the most magnificent Lin Hai had ever seen in his life.
Such a stunning figure, yet unable to bear children, is simply a waste of her talent.
Looking at that incomparably black gauze dress, Lin Hai couldn't help but conjure up some inappropriate images in his mind.
I felt that if a few more candles were added to this palace and a black and white portrait was placed there, the atmosphere would be completely perfect.
He quickly banished these distracting thoughts, waved his hand to create a Space Barrier around the room, separating the inside from the outside, and then chuckled softly:
"The Empress's palace doesn't even have a single maidservant! Has the Star Luo Empire royal family's finances become so strained?"
Zhu Lingyun had just fallen asleep when she heard the sound and her delicate body trembled slightly. She hurriedly turned around and sat up.
When she recognized the person's attire, her tense expression immediately relaxed, and a charming smile appeared on her lips:
"These past few days I've made a point of sending all the palace maids away, so they won't be implicated because of my departure."
After she finished speaking, she began to carefully examine this legendary niece's husband.
After a moment, she spoke with a teasing tone:
"Zhuyun and Zhu Qing have excellent taste."
"However, could you tone down your gaze a little? Aren't you satisfied with just two beautiful sisters?"
Lin Hai then awkwardly shifted his gaze away from the ample breasts that were about to burst forth, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "The women of the Zhu Family are indeed all exceptionally gifted and have abundant resources."
At the same time, he had to admire the designer of the gauze dress, whose elasticity and coverage were both perfect.
He even considered whether he should try to get a batch before leaving, so that the women in his family could wear them too, and then place his black and white portrait on the table...
He then chuckled to himself, realizing that he didn't really feel anything about being cheated on.
"Satisfied, of course I'm satisfied! I just lamented that the old emperor of the Star Luo Empire was truly unlucky," Lin Hai replied, smoothly changing the subject.
"Hehehe~" Upon hearing this, Zhu Lingyun let out a melodious laugh that was as sweet as a silver bell, yet also carried a hint of self-deprecation.
"Not all men in the world know how to appreciate beauty as you do."
"The men of the Dai Family, especially the eldest son, are more enthusiastic about power."
"I understand." Lin Hai nodded knowingly. "Being closest to the throne also means being closest to life and death."
"Other Imperial Prince who fail to ascend the throne may be spared, but the eldest prince who fails will almost certainly die."
Zhu Lingyun nodded, her eyes full of appreciation, then waved her hand listlessly:
"Alright, let's not talk about these annoying things anymore. They're none of my business from now on."
"I don't need to pack much; I've taken all the important things with me. Shall we leave now?"
"Okay, I'll take you to the Zhu Family to meet up with the others, and then we'll leave Star Luo City directly." Lin Hai didn't want to delay any longer.
After all, Teleportation four people in a row takes a toll on Soul Power and affects speed.
Zhu Lingyun stroked the Soul Tool on her wrist, took out a letter that had been written beforehand, and gently placed it on the small table beside the bed.
She didn't glance at the cold, impersonal palace again. She gracefully extended her slender, white hand and smiled sweetly:
"Then I'll have to trouble my nephew-in-law."
Lin Hai took that soft hand in his, and the next moment, the two of them disappeared completely from the empty palace.
Inside the Zhu Family's inner courtyard, the five people gathered together.
Lin Hai's gaze swept over the four people in front of him—
The exquisitely beautiful Zhu Lingyun.
Zhu Yongnian has a resolute face with sharp features and an air of heroism.
His wife is quite beautiful and still retains her charm despite being middle-aged.
And Zhu Zhuyu, the "middle-aged sister-in-law" who bears a striking resemblance to Zhu Zhuyun, with an appearance and figure that are in no way inferior.
They are all exceptionally good-looking; their genes are truly powerful!
"Little Hai, you don't mind me calling you that, do you?" Zhu Yongnian, the head of the family, spoke first, his tone calm and steady.
"Of course I don't mind," Lin Hai replied with a smile. "I'm the junior, Uncle Zhu can call me whatever he wants."
You're going to be my future father-in-law*2, and who knows how many more labels you'll have in the future, so what could I possibly mind?!
Zhu Yongnian nodded, his resolute face revealing little emotional fluctuation:
"Okay, then I'll take this opportunity to ask for your permission."
"Little Hai, I'd like to know what your specific plans are after our family arrives in Spirit City?"
After a moment's thought, Lin Hai decided to be frank. "Uncle Zhu, we're all family, so I'll just say what I need to say."
Zhu Yongnian nodded.
"The Spirit Hall's future goal is to unify the continent and completely extinguish the flames of war. After that, it will unify the laws and strip the existing nobles of their many privileges." Lin Hai looked directly at Zhu Yongnian, his tone calm yet firm.
"If Uncle Zhu can agree with this, then after arriving in Spirit City, whether it's seeking a position in the Spirit Hall, leading troops in the future war of unification, or wanting to revive the Zhu Family's prestige and establish a sect, I can arrange it."
He paused briefly, then continued:
"If you are tired of power struggles and just want to live a peaceful life, I can guarantee your family a life of wealth and comfort."
At this point, Lin Hai's expression became serious:
"However, if the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire go to war in the future, I still hope that Uncle Zhu can consider the soldiers and civilians on both sides and persuade some old friends to surrender if necessary, so as to minimize casualties."
"Of course, this is entirely up to Uncle Zhu's wishes, and we will never force him to do anything."
With the Spirit Hall and the top combat power gathered around Lin Hai, it would not be difficult to sweep through the two great empires.
The outcome of the war still depends on the contest between top experts, and in this respect, the Spirit Hall has an overwhelming advantage.
Moreover, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and he himself had made many preparations for this.
The reason he went to such lengths, unwilling to waste even the slightest bit of help, was largely because he feared that the Asura God would interfere.
Among the Fallen Soul Master in the City of Slaughter, there are many powerful ones, and almost all of them are controlled by the Yellow Springs Dew.
If Tang Chen regains his senses and reappears, Bo Saixi's stance will be hard to predict!
Only by fighting with all his might and stabilizing the situation on the mainland as soon as possible can he focus on finding the female protagonist of the Divine Artifact in order to prepare for the future God War.
