The room was brightly lit by candles.
Tang Yu sat on a wide rosewood chair, toying with a white jade wine cup, having waited for quite some time.
Zhu Zhuyun raised her head, her gaze falling upon that figure, and she was instantly lost in a trance.
Rumors from the outside world claimed that the Marquis of Wuyang was a decisive killer, a hideous and terrifying fiend.
Yet, the young man before her was handsome to the extreme; his sword-like brows slanted into his temples, and his contours were so perfect that not a single flaw could be found.
In particular, that calm and unhurried temperament exuded a fatal attraction.
At the same time, Tang Yu was also looking her up and down.
She was truly worthy of being the pride of the Star Luo Zhu Family.
Her face was cold, glamorous, and stunning, with exquisite, three-dimensional features.
Her figure was even more explosive; even the loose cloak could not hide those proud, bursting curves.
Beneath the hem of the cloak, a pair of round, slender, and beautiful legs were tightly wrapped in seductive black silk, outlining a breathtaking sense of flesh and beauty.
She wore a pair of delicate high heels, which lifted the arches of her jade feet into a beautiful shape.
"Come here."
Tang Yu set down the wine cup, his tone calm.
"Sit down."
Zhu Zhuyun's delicate body trembled slightly as she stepped forward with her long legs to his side and sat down stiffly.
"Take it off yourself."
Hearing these three words, Zhu Zhuyun bit her red lips until she tasted a hint of blood.
She closed her eyes, reached out with trembling hands, and untied the ribbons of her cloak.
Her garments slipped off one by one.
Under the dim candlelight, the room was filled with spring.
As the night deepened, the bed curtains swayed gently.
The two even engaged in intermittent conversation between the pillows and mats.
"You are calmer than I imagined," Tang Yu asked casually.
Zhu Zhuyun leaned against his broad chest, her breathing still unsteady.
"If I were to resist, the family would be reduced to ashes, would it not?"
Tang Yu chuckled softly, his fingers twirling a strand of her hair.
"Following me is far better than following that spineless Star Luo prince."
Several hours later.
The sky was beginning to brighten.
Tang Yu rose from the bed and draped a long robe over his shoulders.
In his mind, the system's notification sound arrived right on cue.
[Rewards are being distributed...]
[Reward 1: The age of all the host's spirit rings has been increased by ten thousand years!]
[Reward 2: Obtained a million-year ultimate god-level spirit bone--Nirvana Nether Bone (Left Arm Bone)!]
As the system's voice faded, Tang Yu felt a vast, unprecedented energy surging within his body.
Subsequently, his physical body and his martial spirit received a frantic feedback simultaneously.
Tang Yu moved his mind, and light burst forth from beneath his feet.
Two distinct phantoms of Blue Silver Grass intertwined behind him.
Immediately after, his spirit rings rose slowly.
The original multi-colored spirit ring configuration underwent a qualitative transformation under the boost of the ten-thousand-year age increase.
Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black!
A uniform set of ten-thousand-year pure black spirit rings!
If the outside world were to see this visual impact, it would surely drive several Titled Douluo insane.
Tang Yu took a deep breath, suppressing the agitation in his heart, and immediately inspected the other reward.
A bone radiating an aura of endless darkness floated in his sea of consciousness.
This was the Nirvana Nether Bone.
Information flooded into his mind.
This bone was a supreme treasure left behind after the fall of an ancient primordial beast, the Nether Nirvana Spirit Cat.
It contained the pure laws of darkness and the overbearing power of void severance.
As a million-year god-level spirit bone, it comes with four heaven-defying spirit skills.
The first is the Nether Void-Rending Claw.
By unleashing this skill, one can launch attacks directly through rifts in the void, ignoring spatial distance to take an enemy's head from ten thousand miles away; it is impossible to guard against.
The second is the Nirvana Nether Shadow.
By channeling the laws of darkness, one can transform into thousands of nether shadow clones.
Each clone possesses a portion of the original body's combat power, making it impossible to distinguish the real from the fake. It is a divine skill for both self-preservation and area-of-effect attacks.
The third is the Nirvana Heaven-Imprisoning Cage.
This is the ultimate mystery of this spirit bone.
Once activated, it can invoke the nether laws of heaven and earth to forcibly condense an absolute barrier cage.
Any enemy trapped within the barrier will have their life force drained at a terrifying speed until they are reduced to dry bones.
Finally, there is a domain skill.
Such overbearing attributes.
Tang Yu did not hesitate and immediately activated the spirit bone.
The dark-colored bone turned into a stream of light, surging straight into his left arm.
The fusion process was devoid of any pain, offering only endless comfort.
The moment the spirit bone was successfully equipped, Tang Yu clearly felt that his physical strength and spirit power reserves had forcibly increased several times over!
If he were to encounter an ordinary Titled Douluo now, he could blast them into a mist of blood with a single punch.
With his strength greatly increased, Tang Yu stood before the window, gazing in the direction of the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
Well-versed in the original plot, he was very clear about the current timeline.
Zhu Zhuyun had already been taken.
But that pure and icy Zhu Zhuqing was still at Shrek Academy at this moment.
Dai Mubai, that piece of trash who abandoned his fiancée to indulge in his own pleasures, was simply unworthy of her.
Moreover, Zhu Zhuqing was also an excellent target for triggering rewards.
He could not let her be ruined by Dai Mubai.
His mind was made up.
The next morning, Tang Yu issued his military orders.
The Blue Silver Army broke camp, departed from Star Luo City, and began their return march.
The vast, imposing army advanced along the main road.
In the center of the formation was a luxurious and spacious carriage.
Zhu Zhuyun sat quietly inside the carriage, draped in an expensive velvet blanket.
The madness of last night left her body feeling soft and weak even now.
Through the gap in the carriage window blown open by the wind, she looked at the man riding at the very front of the convoy.
Tang Yu sat tall on his steed, his posture upright, his back exuding an endless sense of arrogance and power.
Zhu Zhuyun's expression was dazed for a moment.
Strange.
He was clearly the enemy of Star Luo, the villain who had forcibly taken and possessed her.
She should have hated him to the bone.
But why... looking at his back now, did she not feel even a shred of that desire for revenge?
On the contrary, having witnessed his breathtaking power and the storm-like yet somewhat restrained tenderness of last night.
In her heart, a sense of peace she had never known before began to sprout.
In Suotuo City, within Shrek Academy.
Zhu Zhuqing sat alone on a stone bench under the shade of a tree, clutching a priority letter sealed with the top-secret wax of the Star Luo royal family.
She wore a tight-fitting black leather outfit that outlined her proud figure, which far exceeded that of her peers, to the fullest.
Most eye-catching of all were her long, beautiful legs crossed together.
Her round, firm legs, wrapped in black leggings and knee-high boots, exuded a heart-stopping sensuality and fatal temptation.
The letter was written by the hand of the Star Luo Emperor himself, the handwriting on the paper even revealing a hint of panic and despair.
Zhu Zhuqing's fair fingers unfolded the letter bit by bit, and the moment her gaze swept over the opening lines, her entire body froze in place.
The letter stated clearly that the Star Luo Empire's front lines had collapsed, losing ten major cities in a row.
To preserve the last of their fortunes, the royal family had already surrendered to the Heaven Dou Empire.
And as one of the prices for peace, the royal family and the high-ranking members of the Zhu family had made a joint decision.
They would offer her and her sister, Zhu Zhuyun, as bargaining chips to that Marquis of Wuyang, Tang Yu, who covered the sky with one hand and was like a god of slaughter.
These few short lines struck her like a bolt of lightning from a clear sky.
