Douluo: One Man Returns, Heaven-Defying Seal Smashes Tang San to Death

Lu Yu shrugged. "I'd long heard of Senior Moon Guan's great name, and I know how important this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum right arm bone is to you..."

As he spoke, the hand hidden in Lu Yu's sleeve moved slightly, silently condensing the Summoning God Talisman.

The moment Moon Guan made a move, he would activate the Summoning God Talisman immediately!

Even if he could not defeat him, he would still be able to retreat unscathed!

Perhaps seeing Lu Yu's vigilance, Moon Guan waved a hand. "Don't misunderstand. I didn't come today to seize your soul bone. I came to make a deal with you!"

Seize his soul bone?

What a joke!

This was someone protected by His Holiness the Pope!

Lu Yu froze for a moment, unable to process it.

Why were the people from Spirit Hall he had encountered...

Somewhat different from how they had been described in the original plot?

First there had been Xie Yue, a chatterbox and crazed little-sister trapper, and now there was this refined and courteous Chrysanthemum Douluo?

"This little girl has the Ten Thousand Year Drunken Immortal Ganoderma on her. If you can obtain it, you presumably won't need any more heavenly treasures for quite some time..."

"I know you've already fused with a right arm bone, so this soul bone is useless to you."

"Trading a soul bone you can't absorb for a Title Douluo to serve as your bodyguard for ten years—surely you won't lose out on that deal?"

Listening to Moon Guan, Lu Yu's eyes gradually widened.

Had he opened this the wrong way?

Wasn't he supposed to be temperamental and eccentric?

Wasn't he supposed to kill without batting an eye?

Of course, Lu Yu did not know that before coming here, Moon Guan had already met with Bibi Dong and obtained her permission. That was why he had proposed such terms.

Narrowing his eyes, Lu Yu did not hesitate. He took out the soul bone, raised his hand, and tossed it over.

"Senior, this is the right arm bone!"

Moon Guan caught the soul bone and froze for a moment before asking in surprise, "Aren't you afraid I'll go back on my word?"

Lu Yu smiled. "If Senior Moon wanted to seize it by force, you could still obtain the soul bone. Why bother deceiving a junior like me?"

Moon Guan laughed heartily, then bent at the waist in a rather gentlemanly bow. He said softly, "Chrysanthemum Douluo Moon Guan, from this day onward, is willing to safeguard Little Brother Lu for ten years!"

If anyone else had witnessed this scene, their jaws would have dropped on the spot.

A Title Douluo was actually bowing to a twelve-year-old boy!

Lu Yu's thoughts were a mess. He only felt that something was off, yet he could not grasp what the key issue was.

But judging by Chrysanthemum Douluo's manner, he was not making fun of him.

And just as Moon Guan had said, exchanging a soul bone that was useless to him for a Title Douluo as a bodyguard for ten years was an absolutely profitable deal!

Even if Moon Guan had other motives, Lu Yu still had the Summoning God Talisman as his trump card.

Moon Guan surely could never have imagined that a mere Four-Ring Soul Sect Master like him possessed a means of escaping unscathed from a Title Douluo.

Moon Guan looked at the soul bone in his hand, unable to conceal his excitement. Smiling, he said, "Lu Yu, I'll enter seclusion in Star Luo City to absorb this soul bone. When you leave Star Luo City, I'll accompany you to the Heavenly Dou Empire."

"This little girl will wake soon. I'll take my leave first!"

With that, Moon Guan's figure flashed and vanished from where he stood, leaving only a few chrysanthemum petals drifting down.

Lu Yu looked at the petals, his eyes flickering.

Moon Guan was Bibi Dong's right-hand man. It was impossible for him to leave Bibi Dong's side for ten years without authorization.

That meant...

Bibi Dong had most likely been the one behind this matter!

Was it because of his talent?

Or because of...

That rooftop conversation on the rainy night?

After considering it over and over, Lu Yu ultimately concluded that it was related to that rooftop conversation!

Bibi Dong's extremity stemmed from her inner demon.

And because of that, she had ultimately died at Tang San's hands.

Could it be...

That his words had helped Bibi Dong dispel her inner demon?

Was she repaying him a favor?

Putting those thoughts aside, Lu Yu walked over to Zhu Zhuyun, yanked the soul tool necklace from her neck, and sent his spiritual power straight into it.

A moment later, a ganoderma emitting a faint fragrance of wine appeared in Lu Yu's hand.

The Ten Thousand Year Drunken Immortal Ganoderma!

Looking at the heavenly treasure in his hand, Lu Yu smiled. Then he tossed the soul tool necklace onto Zhu Zhuyun and strode away.

Not long afterward, Zhu Zhuyun's delicate body trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes.

Then she sprang up from the ground, her expression grave as she vigilantly scanned her surroundings.

Only after confirming that there was no danger did she finally let out a sigh of relief.

But then she discovered that Lu Yu had vanished without a trace, and her brows drew together.

Zhu Zhuyun lowered her head and examined her clothes. Finding nothing unusual, she suddenly felt a little disappointed, then her pretty face flushed.

Just then, she saw the soul tool necklace lying on the ground and froze slightly.

Picking up the necklace, she sent her spiritual power into it. Zhu Zhuyun's beautiful eyes instantly widened.

The Ten Thousand Year Drunken Immortal Ganoderma... was gone!?!

Could it be...

Lu Yu had drugged her unconscious?

Then he had snatched the Ten Thousand Year Drunken Immortal Ganoderma and walked off without a care?

For a moment, Zhu Zhuyun stood there in a daze, her expression shifting unpredictably.

The man who had made her fall in love at first sight, the youth who had seemed nearly perfect in her eyes, was actually such a person of rotten character?

A deep sense of disappointment engulfed her heart, and Zhu Zhuyun returned to Star Luo City in a daze.

After returning to the Zhu Clan, Zhu Zhuyun encountered Zhu Zhuqing but did not speak to her.

However, Zhu Zhuqing stopped her and said softly, "Father has ordered us not to have any further contact with Lu Yu!"

"His Majesty handed Lu Yu the soul bone Dai Weisi lost in the wager, right in front of experts from every faction."

"He was blatantly using a borrowed knife to kill someone. He has completely offended Lu Yu, so Lu Yu can't possibly join the Star Luo Empire."

After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing turned and left.

Although the two sisters shared deep feelings for each other, they would eventually become enemies.

Moreover, because of the Zhu Clan's rules, they did not dare openly act like affectionate sisters.

The colder they were toward each other, the better they could protect one another.

At the same time, Zhu Zhuqing had already made up her mind. Since she could not use Lu Yu to help her sister escape her misery, she could only go to the Heavenly Dou Empire and seek out that scoundrel prince!

As long as she could help that scoundrel secure the position of Crown Prince, she could help her sister break free from Dai Weisi.

After Zhu Zhuqing left, Zhu Zhuyun stood rooted in place, her gaze constantly changing.

After a long while, she suddenly broke into a smile.

It was not that she had misjudged him!

Rather, the Star Luo Emperor had plotted against him first. Lu Yu harbored resentment, which was why he had attacked her!

If Lu Yu knew what she was thinking, he would likely find it rather strange, while also giving her an extremely fair assessment...

An ultimate love-brain!

This was practically the legendary self-inflicted PUA!

Over the next half month, Lu Yu never left the hotel where the Heavenly Dou Empire Exchange Delegation was staying.

This prevented those who had designs on the soul bone in his possession from daring to act rashly.

After all, this was Star Luo City. If anyone attacked the Heavenly Dou Empire Exchange Delegation, the Star Luo Imperial Family would have to help for the sake of appearances, no matter how unwilling they were.
