Lin Hai's Changes, Zhu Lingyun's Feelings
After leaving the Star Luo Empire base, the two first found a secluded corner to be intimate before heading to the Heaven Dou base.
On the way, Lin Hai couldn't help but ask:
"Your family has already arrived safely in Spirit City. Is there any need to hide our relationship at this point?"
Not only Dai Weisi couldn't understand it, but Lin Hai was also confused by Zhu Zhuyun's behavior, but he still subconsciously cooperated just now.
Compared to two years ago, Zhu Zhuyun is noticeably more cheerful, and she smiled sweetly:
"Actually, there's no particular reason. I just hope to represent Star Luo Royal Academy in the competition and then leave honorably."
"The team members have prepared for this competition for so long, I should give them an explanation."
"If we go public with our relationship now, Dai Weisi will probably kick me out of the team immediately to save face."
As she spoke, she affectionately wrapped her arm around Lin Hai's and said in a coquettish tone:
"If you're unhappy, I can withdraw from the competition anytime and stay by your side."
Lin Hai enjoyed the pressure, and seeing her adorable appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
He wouldn't be so petty.
"Actually, there's another reason," Zhu Zhuyun said in a low voice. "Before you arrived, Dai Weisi received a message from the royal family."
"What news?" Lin Hai asked curiously.
Zhu Zhuyun said helplessly, "His Majesty told Dai Weisi about my whole family's disappearance, and they even know about Zhu Yu's situation."
"Emperor Dai Tianfeng is probably not as simple as we imagine."
"Your plan to support Dai Mubai to the throne may not go smoothly. If you really want to reduce casualties in the war, it's best not to provoke Dai Weisi too much right now."
Zhu Zhuyun then remained silent for a moment, before sighing softly, "Unless..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Hai lowered his head and captured her lips in his mouth.
He kissed her gently for a while until he felt her tense body gradually soften, then he loosened his grip slightly and gently stroked her reddened nose with his fingertips.
"Man proposes, God disposes." His voice was low. "Let's take it one step at a time."
Sixteen years of Douluo memories have already made Lin Hai half a Douluo person.
Now he has a woman he cares about, and friends he can't confide in but who are still pretty good friends.
It will be much harder to act solely based on one's goals and personal likes and dislikes, as it was at the beginning of the journey.
Dai Weisi is not Xue Beng; he can be decisive and ruthless, but that's a last resort.
Moreover, if that day really comes, killing Dai Weisi alone will be of no use.
As for the women around him, especially those like Zhu Zhuyun who have seen the darkness, he only wished that they could live simpler lives from now on.
Inside the Heaven Dou base, the Zhu Family family of six was finally reunited.
Lin Hai ultimately couldn't escape this touching crying scene, but he also enjoyed it.
In particular, the sisters Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun apologized to each other at times and comforted each other at other times.
As they embraced each other in excitement, the shocking scene of the two cars colliding gave Lin Hai a real treat for his eyes.
"Big sister, why do you still want to stay in the Star Luo Empire? You should live here from now on," Zhu Zhuqing said, sobbing.
Although the kitten in this life still has a cool and aloof personality, it is not as strong as it was in its previous life.
Zhu Zhuyun gently wiped away her younger sister's tears and said softly:
"Alright, alright, it's only a few days left anyway. Besides, I'm not going to be in jail over there."
As she spoke, she took out a wooden box and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing: "You're not allowed to cry anymore."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the box with a somewhat familiar pattern and opened it with trembling hands.
When she saw what was inside, she hugged her sister tightly again, bursting into tears.
She swore that she really doesn't cry easily.
It's all because of these Beltfish Jerky... they look so delicious!
Lin Hai stood to the side, shaking his head helplessly.
Women really are made of water!
Then, he gave Zhu Yongnian and Zhu Lingyun a wink, and the three of them left the tent in tacit agreement.
Upon arriving next door, Lin Hai didn't say much, but directly took out a bunch of exquisite Jade Bottle.
He handed two of the Jade Bottle to Zhu Yongnian and said:
"Uncle Zhu, these are special Elixir Pill Immortal Herb prepared for the Nether Civet Martial Soul."
"The Martial Soul Evolution Zhuyun and Zhu Qing's martial souls and the improvement of their Soul Power all depend on this item."
"There are only these two available right now. You can decide for yourselves who should take them."
Then, he pointed to the other Jade Bottle on the table:
"These are Spirit Ring Pill, marked with the year and the type of Soul Beast. I'm leaving them all for you."
"I'm going back next door now."
After saying that, he winked at Zhu Lingyun and then turned and left.
After Lin Hai left, Zhu Lingyun looked at Zhu Yongnian's conflicted expression and said softly:
"Brother, you know I don't care about strength, this Elixir Pill is still..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhu Yongnian waved his hand to interrupt her:
"Lingyun, stop talking. You and Zhu Yu can take these two Elixir Pill."
As he spoke, he slumped down and sighed, "I've noticed it these past few days; Lin Hai is clearly interested in you."
"The Zhu Family... will ultimately find it difficult to shake off the label of relying on women to maintain the family's Destiny."
He smiled wryly, his tone tinged with melancholy:
"Whether it's the Dai Family or Lin Hai, what they need has never been the Zhu Family, but rather the Zhu Family's daughter!"
"By following Lin Hai, at least you won't have to fight each other, and you can get what you want."
Zhu Lingyun's face flushed instantly, and she said coquettishly, "Big brother, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"How could I possibly steal a man from my own niece!"
Zhu Yongnian shrugged. "I didn't ask you to rob it, why don't we just do it together?"
"This is outrageous..." Zhu Lingyun's face grew even redder, but a barely perceptible hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
"Discretion?" Zhu Yongnian scoffed, seemingly oblivious to his sister's expression.
"In most people's eyes, you are Dai Tianfeng's cousin. What kind of behavior is this?"
He then pressed his advantage, saying, "Besides, if not Lin Hai, who do you plan to marry? Are you going to just find someone in Spirit City to marry?"
"You've been Empress for so many years, how can you adapt to suddenly becoming an ordinary person?"
"Lin Hai is the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, and he will surely become the emperor of the Spirit Hall Empire in the future. He is outstanding in both appearance and strength. Besides him, who else is more suitable for you?"
This series of questions left Zhu Lingyun both amused and exasperated.
Brother, there's really no need for this. I was just being a little reserved. In the end, I still have to follow your arrangements!
She was already very satisfied with Lin Hai, but because of her two nieces, she couldn't be too enthusiastic.
At the same time, she also knew that Lin Hai was coveting her.
Perhaps it's because of her looks and figure, or perhaps it's because of her status...
In short, he wants me, and he'll speak up sooner or later.
Unexpectedly, his older Lin Hai was even more anxious than Lin Hai.
Since that's the case, she had no choice but to go along with it.
"Oh dear, I can't argue with you!" Zhu Lingyun said coquettishly, "Do whatever you want!"
After saying that, afraid that his elder brother would see the joy on his face, he quickly ran back to the next room.
