Zhu Zhuyun's Imported Wine!

"Kitty, are you sure you don't want to come with us?"

After leaving the Star Dou Forest, Qin Jiuxiao asked again as they walked through the streets of Suotuo City.

"I still need to find the answer in my heart, so I won't be going with you."

"And I have a name. My name is Zhu Zhuqing, not Kitty."

Zhu Zhuqing bared her teeth at Qin Jiuxiao and raised her cat claws.

No one had ever dared call her that before. Qin Jiuxiao was the first.

"Alright, alright. Remember to use the token I gave you. If you truly have nowhere else to go, come seek refuge at the City Lord's Manor."

"My bed is big and soft, perfect for raising little cats."

Qin Jiuxiao laughed.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and waved goodbye to them.

After Qin Jiuxiao left with his people, a sense of loss rose in her heart.

But she soon wrinkled her little nose and repeatedly encouraged herself inwardly.

"I came here to find someone. I absolutely cannot give up halfway!"

"I came here to find someone. I absolutely cannot give up halfway!"

As Zhu Zhuqing continued encouraging herself, she walked toward the other end of the street.

That direction was precisely where the Rose Hotel stood.

Meanwhile.

Qin Jiuxiao and the others returned to the Qin Family. The first thing he did was have Zhu Zhuyun settled in his own courtyard.

His father, Qin Yuntian, came over and hesitantly spoke.

"This girl's surname is Zhu. Could she be from that Zhu Family of the Star Luo Empire?"

Qin Jiuxiao did not deny it and nodded.

"Having the surname Zhu isn't much of a problem, as long as she isn't from the Zhu Family head's branch."

The daughters of the Zhu Family head's branch were married to princes of the Dai Family.

If she were merely from a collateral branch, he would not have feared abducting her.

On the contrary, that would have been an honor for the Zhu Family.

But Qin Jiuxiao directly shattered his old father's wishful thinking.

"Zhu Zhuyun is not only from the Zhu Family head's branch, she is also engaged to Dai Weisi, the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire."

"Not only that, I also lured Zhu Zhuqing, the fiancée of Dai Mubai, the third prince, to Suotuo City."

"I believe she'll come looking for me before long."

Qin Yuntian closed his eyes, clutched his chest, and staggered backward, looking as though he were having a heart attack.

He trembled as he pointed at Qin Jiuxiao, unable to say a complete sentence after stammering "you, you, you" for ages.

"You unfilial brat! Are you trying to anger your father to death so you can inherit my position as city lord?"

"One eldest prince was bad enough, but you even went after the third prince's fiancée."

"If the Star Luo Empire finds out, won't they immediately send an army of a million to wage war on Suotuo City?"

"Your father is a Soul Saint, not a Soul God. Can't you let me live a few more years..."

Qin Jiuxiao said nothing and merely revealed his Soul Rings.

Two black Soul Rings circled around him, causing Qin Yuntian to swallow back the rest of his words.

His eyes widened like bronze bells, as though he had seen a ghost.

Only after a long while did he come back to his senses.

His hands clamped tightly onto Qin Jiuxiao's shoulders like iron pincers, his eyes bloodshot.

"My son, your first ring is ten thousand years old! Your second one too?"

"You didn't paint your Soul Rings black, did you?"

Qin Jiuxiao rolled his eyes and impatiently brushed away his father's hands.

With his nostrils pointed skyward, he wore a smug expression.

"Who do you think I am?"

"A mere ten-thousand-year first ring? Isn't that easy as pie?"

Qin Yuntian froze, then burst into booming laughter that echoed through the courtyard.

"Good, good, good!"

He forcefully patted Qin Jiuxiao's shoulder and said "good" three times in a row.

"My son Jiuxiao has the bearing of a god!"

Seeing how delighted his father was, Qin Jiuxiao wore a teasing smile.

"Old man, now that I've brought them back, do you still have a problem with it?"

Qin Yuntian immediately flared his beard and glared.

"What problem could there be? Who would dare have a problem?"

"Forget the fiancées of two princes from the Star Luo Empire. Even if you wanted the Star Luo Emperor's empress, your father would find a way to tie her up and bring her here."

Qin Yuntian had never felt so refreshed.

If the matter had not been so shocking, he would have wanted to announce it throughout the entire city and have it broadcast nonstop for seven days.

My son Jiuxiao has the bearing of a god!

"Alright, alright. From now on, I won't ask about whatever you do. Whatever you want, I'll get it for you."

"Rest well with the young lady tonight. I won't disturb you two."

"Oh, right. Remember to visit the Crown Prince Palace tomorrow morning. I'll be leaving first."

Qin Yuntian walked out through the courtyard gate with his hands behind his back, humming a tune.

Watching how quickly his father changed his attitude, Qin Jiuxiao shook his head as well.

He turned and returned to his room, about to turn on the light.

A soft hand grabbed his wrist in the darkness and led him in another direction.

Qin Jiuxiao's lips curled up as he let her lead him along.

Click!

The bedside lamp turned on.

Pink light illuminated the entire room.

Zhu Zhuyun held a tray. She wore a black-and-white maid outfit, with a cat-ear hair clip atop her head and a tail gently swaying behind her.

Swaying her sexy waist, she approached him and bent deeply at the waist. Her curves were exquisite, and her voice was soft and coy.

"Master, your exclusive maid number one is at your service~"

"What would you like to eat tonight?"

Zhu Zhuyun had also seen the Soul Rings Qin Jiuxiao revealed in the room just now.

What truly shocked her was that his first Soul Ring, which had originally only been a thousand years old, had become ten thousand years old!

His Soul Rings could actually evolve!

This made Zhu Zhuyun feel even more that the man was unfathomable. She had to seize his weakness properly and firmly grasp this opportunity.

"Master, how about charcoal-grilled steak with red wine?"

"Zhuyun can feed you herself~"

"I guarantee you'll be satisfied~"

Qin Jiuxiao walked to the dining table and sat down, beckoning to her.

"Then let's try it. There'll be punishment if your service isn't good enough."

A seductive smile bloomed on Zhu Zhuyun's face. Carrying the sliced steak over, she spun around and sat in Qin Jiuxiao's lap, her soft waist boneless.

She speared a piece of steak with a fork and fed it to his lips.

"Master, open up~"

Qin Jiuxiao took a bite of the steak. He had to admit, this woman really knew what she was doing.

Zhu Zhuyun then brought over a glass of red wine and held it to Qin Jiuxiao's lips.

Every smile and frown of hers was brimming with temptation, like a sly fox.

"Master, how does this red wine taste?"

"It tastes good, but it feels like it's missing something."

Zhu Zhuyun smiled with her eyes, drained the remaining wine in the glass in one gulp, and gazed intensely at Qin Jiuxiao.

Qin Jiuxiao immediately understood. At last, he got to drink imported wine on the Douluo Continent.

After eating and drinking their fill.

A glint flashed through Zhu Zhuyun's eyes as she took the initiative to shoulder the duty of warming the bed.

"Master, it's getting late."

"You should rest. You have important matters to attend to tomorrow morning."

Qin Jiuxiao curled his lips. How sensible!

The lights went out, and a stormy night began.

The next day.

Qin Jiuxiao woke early.

Today, he had to visit that little angel in the imperial palace.

Speaking of Qian Renxue, her fortune was in no way inferior to that of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Even Tang San might not have been her match without the help of the Asura God and Sea God.

Perhaps he could obtain a seven-colored trait from her.

Wouldn't that allow him to awaken his third Soul Ring?

Behind him, Zhu Zhuyun wore a black spaghetti-strap silk nightgown. Last night's maid outfit had long since been reduced to scraps.

She held the coat Qin Jiuxiao was to wear today, warmly helping him put it on and thoughtfully straightening his collar.

"Master, would you like me to come with you?"

Qin Jiuxiao turned and embraced her.

"Your identity as someone from the Star Luo Empire would be inconvenient at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. Besides, you barely rested last night. Can you even get out of bed and walk today?"

Zhu Zhuyun blushed, supported her incomparably sore waist, and shot him a resentful glare.

"Just rest well at home. If you need anything, tell the maids."

Qin Jiuxiao kissed her before finally heading out.
