Obeying the request of his elders, the silent Zhu Zhuqing led the equally silent Wu Ling to wander on the street.
At this time, Zhu Zhuqing's heart was filled with the last words of that letter. "I can't defeat him, and I'm tired of sending you flowers. When you grow up... you should marry someone else."
The children on the Douluo Continent are very precocious, which means that the child's rebellious period will also be earlier, and Zhu Zhuqing happens to be in this time period.
The dissatisfaction and anger towards Dai Mubai, coupled with the despair for the future, all these negative emotions, under the influence of the rebellious stage, gave her the idea. "He betrayed him first, so it's okay for me to rely on other men. And since this man is so powerful, then I should be able to survive."
Of course, although Zhu Zhuqing had this idea in mind, Wu Ling had just met someone for less than ten minutes after all, and she didn't know what his attitude was towards her, so she still couldn't speak out based on her character.
Zhu Zhuqing observed Wu Ling's behavior from time to time through the corner of his eye. Seeing Wu Ling looking aimlessly, the balance in his heart kept swinging. "Wait a little longer, there is still time."
And Wu Ling, who was looking around in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, had actually been observing her while Zhu Zhuqing wasn't paying attention.
He still has some fond feelings for the future Shrek Seven Devils member in front of him. After all, except for Oscar, she has less black spots than other Shrek members.
Of course, these are all secondary. The most important thing for Wu Ling is "Loli cat girl, I seem to take one home and raise one... but it's not a white-haired one."
I remember that Zhu Zhuqing is the youngest among Shrek Seven Devils, so now, he should be about eight or nine years old. Coupled with his fiancé's escape, mental confusion and psychological immaturity, now is the best time to cheat... ahem, the best time to cultivate feelings.
I have to think of a way to get her here."
"We have to think of a way to push her through." Just when Zhu Zhuqing and Wu Ling were wandering around, they hurried back to the Zhu Family's Soul Saint summoned several other Soul Saint elders and the Soul Douluo clan leader, and had a heated discussion on how to give Zhu Zhuqing to Wu Ling.
Time went back to ten minutes ago. The returning elder Soul Saint summoned all the senior officials of the Zhu Family. Then he told the story of how he had just met Wu Ling and that Wu Ling had saved Zhu Zhuqing and expressed interest in Zhu Zhuqing. This directly shocked everyone present!
"Oh, I knew Zhu Zhuqing was a good kid. She has such good looks at such a young age. It's not in vain that I taught her a lesson a few years ago." said a woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties.
"Hey, Sister Mei, I remember you proposed reducing Zhu Zhuqing's resources this morning, didn't you?" Then another woman said with a smile.
"I've long since noticed how extraordinary she is, and I want her to experience it. As the saying goes, only by enduring hardship can you become a human being."
Before the other woman could continue speaking, a male elder who was also in his forties said, "Mei Yun, Lan Qing Okay, let's get down to business first."
After finishing speaking, his eyes looked around and finally stopped on the patriarch. After the patriarch nodded slightly, he continued, "According to the past rules, after the third prince escaped, Zhu Zhuqing's resources should indeed be reduced. After all, most of the final results have been determined, so there is no need to continue to waste resources.
If First Prince can give Second Prince... then Zhu Zhuqing will only die, and our more than ten years of cultivation and efforts can be said to have been wasted.
But now we have another choice--Spirit Hall.
In other words, Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.
Since Holy Son is interested in her, then as her family, it shouldn't be nothing to recover some capital in a symbolic way."
Speaking of this, everyone nodded at the same time. This was the first thing they thought of after hearing the elder's description.
Then an elder looked at the patriarch and said, "Chief, you said this price..."
Before he could finish speaking, the female elder who spoke first corrected her, "Why is the price so unpleasant? If you are a maid or something like that, it will be wages. If Holy Son wants to warm the bed or... hehe, then it will be compensation and dowry."
"Ah, yes, yes, you look at how confused I am."
"Ahem."
Following the clan leader's slight cough, everyone fell silent for an instant, and then the clan leader said slowly, "No matter what, Zhu Zhuqing is also an elite junior that our clan has vigorously cultivated. The compensation must be a lot, but if you want something better, you still need Dai Family's help."
As soon as the clan leader finished speaking, several elders expressed their objections. They said that cooperation with the Dai Family would definitely reduce some resources. However, the clan leader simply mentioned two things and suppressed these elders.
The first thing she asked was a question, "Do you think the elite of a family is more valuable, or the fiancée of a prince?"
Then the second thing is a reminder, "Let's not talk about the engagement with the Dai Family. There is at least one Titled Douluo next to Holy Son. Are you sure you want to do business with him based on your family?"
That's right, let's not mention whether a unilateral breach of contract will arouse the anger of the royal family. Let's talk about Wu Ling's status and strength. If they Zhu Family hadn't backed Star Luo Imperial Family's Dai Family, Wu Ling would have directly snatched Zhu Zhuqing away. They wouldn't have dared to say anything, let alone ask for a price.
After all, for a family like theirs, whose strongest member is Soul Douluo, Spirit Hall can quietly destroy them by just sending two Titled Douluo.
"There is still an hour and a half left. Order the people below to quickly remove and reinstall the things that were taken down in the morning, and then seize the time to prepare for the banquet. Although it is a bit urgent, because the preparations yesterday were very complete, they should be ready before Holy Son arrives.
Then I will go to the emperor to talk about this matter now. By the way, with the importance the emperor attaches to Holy Son, he may condescend to come over to attend the banquet. Then who will make a mistake in front of the emperor and Holy Son, hum."
"Understood!"
As orders were issued one after another, the entire Zhu Family started to move up and down, and some Spirit Master were asked to help, but the most common situation at present is this.
"Brother Hei, why did you take down these two lanterns?"
"Isn't this what the elder said to take down?"
"The elder said he was going to hang it up again."
"Huh?"
"Brother Hei, why did you hang up those two lanterns?"
"Didn't the elder say that he should be hung up again?"
"But the elder said that we should use the pair of golden lanterns."
"What should we do?"
"Tear it down."
"... Gan."
At the same time, the Zhu Family patriarch has found Star Luo Emperor and told the whole story. As for Star Luo Emperor, he is not very interested in Holy Son's compensation. What he is interested in is what kind of interest Wu Ling is in Zhu Zhuqing.
If you are that interested, in the future, when Wu Ling becomes Pope, then the son of Pope will be considered half a Star Luo Empire person. If they continue to marry, after several generations, it is possible for the Spirit Hall to become the state religion!
When the time comes, with the Spirit Hall's cutting-edge power combined with the Star Luo Empire's massive crowd tactics, defeating Heaven Dou to dominate the mainland will no longer be a dream!
As for the Spirit Hall's founding or rebellion, he never thought about it. After all, Spirit Hall's essence is just a force. This force has not established a nation for hundreds and thousands of years. How could it suddenly found a nation recently?
The excited Star Luo Emperor immediately waved his hand. "Let's go, I'm going to the banquet too. By the way, I'll talk to Holy Son about the transaction."
