Eternal Tree! Zhu Zhuqing's Seductive Charm!

Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath, her steps heavy as she slowly walked to the bedside and sat down beside Tang Yu.

The two were so close that they could feel the warmth radiating from each other.

Tang Yu turned his head, his gaze sweeping over her proud curves without the slightest restraint.

"Strip."

His tone was indifferent, as if he were speaking of a trivial matter.

This single word, however, struck Zhu Zhuqing's heart like a heavy hammer.

Her fair, slender hands trembled slightly as she slowly raised them, placing her fingers on the collar button of her black leather outfit.

Her movements froze there, unable to go any further.

A sense of humiliation like nothing she had ever felt before instantly swept through her entire body.

Even when she was being hunted by assassins sent by Zhu Zhuyun in the Star Luo Empire, even when facing the threat of death, she had never felt as powerless as she did now.

Her heart hammered violently in her chest, the surrounding air seemed to thicken, and immense pressure constantly bore down on her shoulders.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced them back.

In the end, Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth, hardened her heart, and used her fingers to flick open the first button.

She kept comforting herself in her mind.

Just pretend it's a dog bite; it's not like I'll lose a piece of flesh.

As the buttons were undone one by one, the tight black leather outfit slowly slipped off.

Tang Yu didn't waste any words, reaching out to pull her directly into his arms.

The sudden movement caused Zhu Zhuqing to struggle instinctively.

But her meager strength, striking Tang Yu's solid chest, was like a kitten scratching an itch.

Tang Yu remained completely unmoved, his large palm sliding straight down along her waistline.

"You've been training so hard these past few days; how is it that you have no strength left at a time like this?"

Tang Yu spoke with a hint of mockery.

Hearing this taunt, a flush of red instantly appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's previously pale cheeks.

"Is there anything you can do besides using such tyrannical means to force others?"

She bit her lower lip, her voice filled with shame, anger, and resentment.

Tang Yu chuckled, his hand not pausing for a second.

"Tyranny?"

"In this world, strength is the only truth. If you were stronger than me, you could force me to do anything right now."

"It's just a pity that you are too weak."

As he spoke, his gaze followed the girl's slender waist down to her long, straight, beautiful legs.

Those legs, tightly wrapped in black silk stockings, were pressed slightly together due to her nervousness, outlining an extreme curve that would make any man's blood boil.

Tang Yu reached out and gently stroked the black silk, the delicate texture coming through the fabric.

"Not bad."

"These legs are the most satisfying of all the spoils of war gifted by the Star Luo Empire."

Such a direct and explicit evaluation made Zhu Zhuqing close her eyes in shame.

She tried to pull her leg back, but it was pinned down by the man's other hand.

"Don't move."

Tang Yu leaned close to her ear, his warm breath hitting her neck.

"That piece of trash Dai Mubai—the things he could see but never touch now belong only to me."

"You should be grateful; by following me, at least you don't have to run for your life like a stray dog."

These words struck directly at Zhu Zhuqing's sore spot.

The last shred of fantasy she held for Dai Mubai was shattered into pieces at this very moment.

Yes, that coward who abandoned her to run away—what could he possibly compare to the man before her?

As the conversation between them, filled with a mix of resistance and ambiguity, continued, the tension in Zhu Zhuqing's body gradually dissipated.

Those intimate actions were destroying her psychological defenses step by step.

The night deepened, and the temperature in the room continued to rise.

Extreme beauty and aesthetics bloomed on the bed as the two finally crossed that line.

Two hours later.

Everything returned to calm.

Tang Yu rose from the bed and casually draped a robe over his shoulders.

He stood before the window, his mind still savoring the entire process that had just transpired.

Although Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing were sisters and shared a seventy to eighty percent resemblance in appearance, the flavor of the experience was vastly different.

Zhu Zhuyun usually appeared noble and cold, yet during her first night of service, she had proven incredibly tactful, even taking the initiative to lower her status to cater to him.

Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, had been like a startled kitten just moments ago.

Though she was inexperienced and resistant, that breathtakingly beautiful face and those incredibly alluring black-stockinged legs brought a completely different sense of conquest.

Just then, a crisp, mechanical notification sounded abruptly in Tang Yu's mind.

"Ding! Host detected completing significant progress; system rewards have been issued."

"Reward obtained: All soul ring ages increased by another ten thousand years!"

"Reward obtained: One hundred-thousand-year soul ring, named 'Eternal Tree'!"

Upon hearing these two prompts, a flash of brilliance ignited in Tang Yu's eyes.

Immediately following, a vast surge of energy flooded into his limbs and bones.

Without needing any deliberate guidance, the soul power within his body began to climb at a terrifying speed.

Detailed information regarding that hundred-thousand-year soul ring surfaced in his mind.

Eternal Tree came with two heaven-defying soul skills.

The first soul skill was named Forest of Eternal Treasures.

This was a purely rule-based skill; once activated, it could shape an absolute domain.

Within this domain, the enemy's vitality, soul power, and even all forms of energy would be forcibly absorbed and converted directly into Tang Yu's strength.

As long as the opponent's strength was below the god level, they would be absolutely unable to resist in the slightest while inside this domain.

The second soul skill was named Life Reincarnation.

This was an even more overbearing control skill.

It could directly manipulate the enemy's life span.

With just a single thought from Tang Yu, the enemy's body, soul power, and soul could be manipulated at will.

One moment they could be turned into a frail, elderly person, and the next, regressed into a powerless infant.

It was equally applicable to any enemy below the god level; even a Titled Douluo standing at the pinnacle of the continent would be left to be slaughtered before this soul skill.

After reading these skill descriptions, a wave of excitement surged in Tang Yu's heart.

These two soul skills existed simply to crush everything.

With a flick of his will, nine soul rings instantly manifested beneath his feet.

Under the enhancement of the system rewards, his original soul ring configuration had transformed into eight deep black soul rings and one hundred-thousand-year red soul ring shining with a blinding, blood-colored light.

Eight black and one red!

Such a shocking soul ring configuration would likely scare the wits out of those soul masters outside who prided themselves on being geniuses.

Feeling the immense power within his body capable of destroying the world, Tang Yu wore a look of joyful satisfaction.

"Not bad."

"I must continue to find more women like this!"

On the bed, Zhu Zhuqing pulled the thin quilt over herself, half-concealing her body.

She secretly raised her eyes to look at the tall, slender back standing by the window.

The man wore his outer robe loosely, and the powerful aura of a superior radiating from him made her heart race uncontrollably.

At this moment, although her body felt somewhat sore, that sense of humiliation had faded significantly.

Replacing it was a calm sense of resignation.
