A Way Out-and She Could Still Become Emperor?

Zhu Zhuyun was so frightened that she could not speak.

Just as she wanted to take a step back, the aura emanating from Azure Luan Douluo before her left her frozen in place, too afraid to move. She could only stand there and await her fate.

"Xiaoyu, should we kill these people?"

Qian Renxue asked Su Yu for his opinion.

If he wanted them dead, then they would die.

"Wait. These people still have their uses." Su Yu shook his head.

Azure Luan Douluo looked at Zhu Zhuyun. "Which member of the Zhu Family are you?"

Zhu Zhuyun did not dare hide anything and hastily replied, "Junior Zhu Zhuyun!"

"What are you doing here?"

"Senior, I came to hunt down my younger sister, Zhu Zhuqing. I assume you know the rules of our Zhu Family."

Zhu Zhuyun did not say anything unnecessary. Someone with such strength must have lived for a long time, and the Zhu Family's rules were hardly a secret. He surely knew about them.

"Did you catch her?"

Zhu Zhuyun shook her head, looking somewhat embarrassed. "No!"

Just when Zhu Zhuyun thought Azure Luan Douluo was easy to talk to, his aura suddenly changed the next instant. "You failed to catch her, yet you dared try to take my people away? Your Zhu Family has quite the nerve. Do you want to be wiped out?"

The instant those words fell, Zhu Zhuyun's face went pale as she dropped to her knees. Everyone behind her knelt as well.

"Senior, spare us! It was only a moment of foolishness. There will never be a next time. Please let us go!"

Zhu Zhuyun trembled as she begged for mercy.

"Senior, please spare us!" The others all pleaded as well.

That idiot got himself killed and still made us take the blame.

Su Yu smiled helplessly.

The mission to capture Zhu Zhuqing had failed.

Although these Zhu Family members deserved what was coming to them, they really could still be useful.

Zhu Zhuyun's talent was quite good.

During the battle between Spirit Hall and Shrek Academy, if Zhu Zhuqing had not consumed an Immortal Herb, she might truly have been unable to defeat Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Weisi alongside Dai Mubai.

Since they had met, it was fate.

Naturally, he could not let Zhu Zhuyun be killed outright by Azure Luan Douluo.

Though the Zhu Family posed no threat at all to Azure Luan Douluo.

Still, they had to be put to use.

At this moment, Azure Luan Douluo said nothing more. Instead, he looked at Su Yu beside him, signaling for him to decide whether to spare them or kill them.

"Leave it to me."

Su Yu smiled faintly and immediately walked over to Zhu Zhuyun, saying,

"Raise your head!"

Zhu Zhuyun did not react to the command.

Su Yu frowned slightly. "I said, raise your head!"

At that shout, Zhu Zhuyun finally lifted her head. She was trembling all over, not daring to look directly at Su Yu.

She had not heard him the first time because she had been overwhelmed by terror.

"Your Highness, what are your orders?"

Zhu Zhuyun asked in a trembling voice.

"Am I that scary?" Su Yu asked.

"No." Zhu Zhuyun hurriedly shook her head.

"Then why don't you dare look at me?"

Zhu Zhuyun swallowed.

Suppressing the fear in her heart, she raised her head and looked at Su Yu.

The moment their gazes met.

Zhu Zhuyun became even more afraid.

If Azure Luan Douluo had not appeared, she would certainly have thought the young man before her was exceptionally handsome.

But now, with her life and death uncertain, how could she have any mind to admire him? When she learned that this young man looked remarkably like the Former Pope, Qian Xunji, it made her scalp tingle even more.

All that remained now was fear.

She was even losing the courage to face him.

She had failed to capture Zhu Zhuqing, only to lose her life over it on the way back?

She was unwilling. Deeply unwilling.

Was my life, Zhu Zhuyun's life, really worth less than Zhu Zhuqing's?

If becoming his plaything meant she could survive, she was willing. At least it would give her a chance to live.

But his looks were far too handsome; there surely was no shortage of young women around him.

That blonde woman in the distance alone surpassed her by miles.

If she could live, she was willing to do anything.

Zhu Zhuyun secretly made up her mind. She had to survive.

Su Yu extended a finger and lifted Zhu Zhuyun's chin, his voice low. "Weren't you quite bold just now? Why are you scared now?"

Zhu Zhuyun stammered an explanation. "Your Highness, I was wrong. Please spare me. I'm willing to do anything."

I was bold before because I did not know you were hiding your strength.

Now that I knew you had powerful experts protecting you, why the hell would I still act arrogant? Crushing a Spirit King's head with one palm was beyond a Spirit Emperor. Only a Soul Douluo or a Title Douluo could do that.

Zhu Zhuyun was now filled with regret.

"Listen to yourself. It's not as if I'm some heinous villain."

"I won't kill you. On the contrary, I need you to do something for me."

Su Yu's words stunned Zhu Zhuyun. It was as though she had seen the first light of dawn.

"Your Highness, what do you want me to do?"

"I can do anything. As long as you do not kill me, I'm willing to serve you for the rest of my life."

Zhu Zhuyun hurriedly declared her loyalty.

As the eldest daughter of the Zhu Family and a strong-willed woman, she had now cast aside all her dignity, asking only for Su Yu to spare her life.

"I do not need your service. I only need your loyalty. Besides, your younger sister escaped. If you die, do you think you will be content with that?"

Su Yu spoke calmly.

"Not content. I absolutely won't be content." Zhu Zhuyun hurriedly said.

"Good. As long as you have that resolve. What I want you to do is work for me. I can make you the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, let you wipe out the Dai Family, become the master of the Star Luo Empire, its sole emperor—not an empress."

The offer was tempting enough.

He needed to cultivate Zhu Zhuyun for his own use.

Qian Renxue was already in place on the Heaven Dou Empire's side.

Then he also needed his own pawn in the Star Luo Empire, so that when war began, Bibi Dong, that crazy woman, would not act recklessly.

Just thinking about it gave him a headache. Planning ahead and preparing for the worst was the best course of action.

"What?!"

"Make me emperor?" Zhu Zhuyun's eyes widened. "How is that possible?"

Zhu Zhuyun could not believe it.

She would become emperor.

She would no longer need to rely on the Dai Family.

This was not killing her at all. It was clearly giving her benefits!

After the excitement passed, Zhu Zhuyun calmed down.

If the person before her said so, then he was simply offering her a way to live.

She just did not know how she was supposed to walk that path.

"It's true. But are you willing?" Su Yu looked at Zhu Zhuyun.

"I am. If I can become emperor, I certainly will not disappoint you. Besides, I have long found those people from the Dai Family unbearable."

Zhu Zhuyun spoke firmly.

Her eyes were filled with desire.

The black-clad men behind her immediately flew into a rage. "Zhu Zhuyun, you actually want to turn things around and become the master? Have you forgotten the relationship between the Dai Family and the Zhu Family?"

"That's right. Who would have thought that an ungrateful wretch like you would want to turn things around and become the master?"

Their voices carried clearly to Zhu Zhuyun's ears.

Zhu Zhuyun knew that they were all members of the Dai Family, sent to the Zhu Family merely to keep watch over them.

"You decide what to do."

Su Yu released Zhu Zhuyun's chin.

"I understand, Your Highness."
