Douluo: One Man Returns, the Heaven-Defying Seal Smashes Tang San to Death — Part 50

Although Zhu Zhuyun was Dai Weisi's fiancée, Lu Yu had taken her virginity last night, making it clear that he was her first man.

If Zhu Zhuyun were allowed to honor her engagement with Dai Weisi, wouldn't that mean the old bastard's son was putting a green hat on him?

He had never been one to hesitate. Just like a duck delivered right to his mouth last night, he would swallow it in one bite.

He wondered...

How would that old bastard, the Star Luo Emperor, feel once he learned that Lu Yu had abducted both of his prospective daughters-in-law?

Half an hour later, outside the hotel.

Luxurious carriages had long been waiting outside, while the Star Luo Imperial Family's guards had sealed off the entire street.

The members of the Heavenly Dou Empire's exchange delegation boarded the carriages one after another. There was no reluctance in their hearts, only an eagerness to return home.

When they saw Lu Yu emerge from the hotel carrying a large black bundle, quite a few of them were taken aback.

"Lu Yu, what is this..." Meng Shenji looked utterly confused.

Lu Yu patted the bundle and said, "I bought some Star Luo Empire specialties when I went out yesterday. I'm bringing them back as souvenirs!"

Meng Shenji did not think much of it. Pointing at a carriage, he said, "Ride in that one."

Lu Yu carried the bundle aboard, but just then, a black-robed figure suddenly appeared beside the carriage.

Meng Shenji and the others immediately tensed up at the sight.

"Lu Yu, I'm here." Moon Guan's voice reached his ears. Lu Yu pulled aside the carriage curtain and waved to Meng Shenji and the others.

"Don't be nervous! He's a friend of mine, just catching a ride!"

Since Lu Yu had spoken, naturally no one objected.

After all, within the Heavenly Dou Empire exchange delegation, Lu Yu held the highest status aside from Xue Qinghe.

Everyone now knew that Lu Yu had already reached the Four-Ring level. A twelve-year-old Three-Ring Soul Master and a twelve-year-old Four-Ring Soul Sect Master were entirely different concepts!

If they had previously regarded Lu Yu merely as an unprecedented genius...

Then now...

Lu Yu was practically a national treasure of the Heavenly Dou Empire!

"Old Moon... uh... I'd better call you Old Guan!"

Lu Yu found the title Old Moon rather strange. He then said, "I'll have another carriage prepared for you!"

But Moon Guan waved a hand, grabbed a Soul King seated at the front of the carriage, tossed him aside, and took his place.

"No need! I'll drive!"

Lu Yu's mouth twitched. Having Spirit Hall's Chrysanthemum Douluo drive a carriage for him—this treatment...

Other than Bibi Dong, he was probably the only one in the world who received such treatment.

The convoy set off. Only after they left Star Luo City did the Star Luo Imperial Family's guards withdraw. However, the Star Luo Emperor had already gathered cavalry outside the city to escort the Heavenly Dou Empire exchange delegation out of the country.

Inside the carriage, once the convoy had left the city, Lu Yu finally untied the bundle and released the long-legged beauty inside.

With a swipe across Zhu Zhuyun's back, he dispelled the Binding Talisman and Soul Sealing Talisman.

The Binding Talisman's effect was simple: it prevented the person struck by it from moving.

Of course, with Lu Yu's current ability, the Binding Talisman only worked on ordinary people and soul masters below the Three-Ring level.

The reason Zhu Zhuyun had not broken free was that when she awoke, Lu Yu had already explained her current situation to her. That was why she had not forcibly broken the restrictions.

The Soul Sealing Talisman was an extremely powerful talisman. Lu Jin had once told Lu Yu that legend said it could seal a person's soul, turning anyone struck by it into a living corpse.

However, neither Lu Jin nor Lu Yu had ever seen anyone capable of bringing the Soul Sealing Talisman to that extent. Still, it could render a person unable to speak.

"Are you crazy? If Zhuqing and I both leave the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Imperial Family and the Zhu Clan will definitely hunt us down at any cost!"

The instant the restrictions were lifted, Zhu Zhuyun cried out in a low voice. Her tone was urgent as she said, "Quick, think of a way to get me out of here!"

"Once someone discovers the relationship between you and me, both of us will have to face the Star Luo Emperor's wrath!"

Lu Yu waved his hand. "Relax! The one driving outside is a Title Douluo!"

"Considering how hard you worked last night, I'll naturally save your sister!"

"I'm taking both you and her!"

"I'd like to see whether that old dog, the Star Luo Emperor, dares to start a war with the Heavenly Dou Empire over the two of you!"

It was not that Lu Yu thought too highly of himself. Rather, with the Star Luo Emperor's cunning, he would certainly know how to weigh the pros and cons.

Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing were, at most, two prospective imperial consorts. Setting that aside, their greatest value was the possibility that they could use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with his sons.

But they had never even tried it. That value was still unknown.

But what about Lu Yu?

The number one genius of the Heavenly Dou Empire!

A twelve-year-old Four-Ring Soul Sect Master!

Lu Yu's position within the Heavenly Dou Empire was ambiguous. He had neither joined the imperial family nor affiliated himself with any faction.

The Star Luo Emperor did not know that!

He would inevitably assume that Lu Yu was extremely important to the Heavenly Dou Empire.

With that being the case, was it worth starting a war with the Heavenly Dou Empire over two prospective imperial consorts?

As for sending high-level soul masters after him?

With Moon Guan around, even a Title Douluo would not be able to do anything to Lu Yu!

Even without Moon Guan, Lu Yu could simply flee if he could not win. Once he hid in Heaven Dou City, there would be nothing they could do to him.

But once he grew stronger, the situation would be overturned in an instant!

Although the Star Luo Emperor and Lu Yu had formed a grudge, they were not mortal enemies.

If the Star Luo Emperor sent experts to assassinate Lu Yu, then things would truly reach the point of fighting to the death!

With the Star Luo Emperor's cunning, he would never do such a thing.

At least not openly, or before he was absolutely certain of success!

Listening to Lu Yu's somewhat domineering words, Zhu Zhuyun stood there in a daze. Then she broke into a radiant, captivating smile.

Night fell, and the convoy stopped to make camp and rest.

Lu Yu walked over to the carriage, leaned close to Moon Guan, and said quietly, "Old Guan, I need to leave the convoy for a while. Please protect the people inside the carriage and don't let anyone approach it."

Moon Guan looked at the carriage with a smile in his eyes, then said, "Our agreement was for me to protect your safety. If something happens to you, this old face of mine will be utterly disgraced!"

Lu Yu smiled. "Don't worry. I've always been discreet and cautious in what I do. I won't put myself in danger."

Seeing his confidence, Moon Guan said no more and simply nodded.

Next, Lu Yu found Meng Shenji and told him that he intended to leave the convoy.

Meng Shenji was rather worried. In his view, Lu Yu possessed a soul bone and was still within Star Luo Empire territory, so it was inevitable that someone might be tempted by his wealth.

But under Lu Yu's insistence, he could only agree helplessly in the end.

Thus, Lu Yu quietly left the convoy and headed back toward Star Luo City.

Two hours later, Lu Yu stopped. Looking at the distant outline of Star Luo City, he took out a map and spread it open.

Seeing the route marked and scribbled across the map, along with a few simple drawings, Lu Yu could not help but laugh.

According to Zhu Zhuyun, she had stolen this map from Zhu Zhuqing. It was Zhu Zhuqing's escape route out of Star Luo City.

It had to be said, Zhu Zhuqing's drawing skills...

Were truly dreadful!

"Both the Star Luo Imperial Family and the Zhu Clan are focused on the Heavenly Dou Empire exchange delegation right now. This is the best chance for Zhu Zhuqing to escape the Star Luo Empire, and it also matches the original plot's timeline..."

Lu Yu's eyes flickered as he muttered to himself.

"The best opportunity is within the next three days."

"The risk of entering the city is too great. I'll wait for her here!"

Having made up his mind, Lu Yu gave it no further thought. He leaped onto a large tree, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

At the same time, in Spirit City, within the Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong sat upon the throne, dressed in luxurious robes and wearing a crown that displayed her noble status.

Below her, Ghostly stood silently, his entire body shrouded in black mist.

Just moments ago, he had recounted every event involving Lu Yu in Star Luo City in full detail.

Bibi Dong frowned slightly and said softly, "You said... the Zhu Clan's eldest legitimate daughter went to Lu Yu's room late at night and was never seen again?"

"And the female students from Skywater Academy have unclear relationships with Lu Yu?"

Ghostly's whole body trembled. He did not know whether it was an illusion, but he seemed to sense a faint emotional fluctuation in His Holiness the Pope's tone.

That emotion... seemed like dissatisfaction... yet also like... jealousy?

Ghostly shuddered and did not dare think any further.
