In Star Luo City were the sisters Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, both of whom might be potential members of the Chat Group!

Besides them, the Star Luo Empire also had the Single Attribute Clans!

Link had no intention of bringing the Single Attribute Clans under his command, but Bai Chenxiang of the Speed Clan might also be a potential Chat Group member. He had to go meet her.

There were quite a few suspected potential members in the world of Douluo 1, and Link planned to find time to visit them all.

After the Star Luo Empire, his next stop would be Spirit City.

Bibi Dong and Hu Liena, that pair of love-addled master and disciple, were most likely potential members too, but neither of them would be easy to meet.

For another thing, Bibi Dong was a Titled Douluo and might even have begun her Divine Test. Link was very worried that his Entering the Dream might touch the Rakshasa God's divine consciousness.

As for Hu Liena, her Martial Soul was the Demon Fox, and she specialized in mental power.

Link had to treat her with caution too.

So, even though Spirit City was closer than the Star Luo Empire, Link chose to visit the Star Luo Empire first.

With a little more strength, he would feel more confident facing Hu Liena and Bibi Dong.

Of course, if Bibi Dong could join the group, Link would get to enjoy a fine drama of a mother and daughter loving and fighting each other.

"I really am a little wicked!"

Thinking of Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue in the same group, with Qian Renxue possibly knowing Bibi Dong's identity while Bibi Dong knew nothing, Link felt a little excited.

Traveling at full speed, Link reached Star Luo City in just a few days.

As the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City was as prosperous as Heaven Dou City.

Link had thought meeting the sisters Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing would be difficult. To his surprise, it was extremely easy.

By this point, Dai Mubai had already fled the Star Luo Empire.

Zhu Zhuqing's situation here was grim.

"Born of the same root, why burn each other so fiercely?"

Happening upon the Zhu sisters in a confrontation outside a restaurant, Link sighed with feeling.

In the original story, when Zhu Zhuqing fled the Star Luo Empire, Zhu Zhuyun led a group in pursuit to kill her, yet Zhu Zhuqing ultimately escaped.

There were plenty of questions surrounding that.

Some said Zhu Zhuyun had let an entire ocean of mercy through.

But judging by Zhu Zhuqing's reaction, that probably was not the case.

The ones who wanted to cripple Zhu Zhuqing were Dai Weisi, the Star Luo Empire's eldest prince, and Zhu Zhuyun, but not everyone in the Star Luo Empire could possibly have been on Dai Weisi's side.

Did Zhu Zhuqing's parents really pay no attention to this daughter of theirs?

The Star Luo Emperor wanted competition, but if Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had no hope of rising at all, Dai Weisi would lose his whetstone.

So whose efforts had allowed Zhu Zhuqing to escape the Star Luo Empire, and whether Zhu Zhuyun had let an ocean of mercy through, were truly hard to say.

But Link could not be bothered with all those twists and turns.

He only needed to bring the sisters into the Chat Group.

And the Chat Group could let their strength advance by leaps and bounds, perhaps even allowing them to overpower the Dai Clan's White Tiger Martial Soul.

That night, Link created a dream and pulled both Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing into it.

A drama of sisters slaughtering each other!

The two had already fought until their Soul Power was exhausted, their bodies covered in wounds.

Yet even so, the Star Luo Emperor still demanded that they fight to the death.

Meanwhile, the battle between Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai had also reached a life-or-death juncture, with both about to suffer grievous injuries.

"Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing, what are you waiting for?"

The Star Luo Emperor in the dream did not want to see one of his own sons kill the other, so to end this trial, one of the Zhu sisters had to be eliminated.

Better someone else's daughter died than his own son!

The sisters lay collapsed in the arena, utterly drained of strength, their bodies bearing countless wounds, their blood staining the entire arena red.

"Do you resent it?"

"Can you accept it?"

"Do you want to change an ending in which you can only be pawns?"

"Do you want to break free of fate's shackles?"

With a tremendous crash from the sky, Link made his dazzling entrance.

Like a devil's whispers, his words led the dying Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing to make the wise choice.

[Zhu Zhuyun has joined the Chat Group!] [Zhu Zhuqing has joined the Chat Group!]

Two lines of golden text swept across the chat interface. Group members +2!

The dream dispersed!

Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing jolted awake in their respective rooms, gasping for breath, their bodies already drenched in sweat.

In the dream, they had been about to die.

That feeling had been incomparably real.

But none of that mattered!

What mattered was that they really could see the Chat Group, the miraculous Chat Group!

The sisters chose to perform their Sign-In almost simultaneously.

Then they changed their group names.

Cloud That Refuses to Be a Chess Piece: "What is this place?"

I Want to Be Myself: "Sister, I'm leaving!"

Because of Link's intervention, Zhu Zhuqing's departure from the Star Luo Empire came earlier.

But this time, she was not going to find Dai Mubai and demand answers. She wanted to grow stronger, to be herself, and not become anyone's subordinate.

Weak and Helpless Blue Silver Grass: "Welcome to the Chat Group, both of you. A reminder: you'd better take your Sign-In Rewards as soon as possible, so their medicinal potency doesn't go to waste!"

Weak and Helpless Blue Silver Grass: "One more reminder: your Immortal Herbs are a mandarin-duck pair. It's best to take them together at the same time!"

The sisters Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing had actually received Immortal Herbs as their first Sign-In Rewards: eight-petal immortal orchid and aromatic silk beauty!

According to the original story's description, these were a mandarin-duck pair of Immortal Herbs. Taking them simultaneously could produce a special resonance.

However, aromatic silk beauty was an Immortal Herb that could evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, while eight-petal immortal orchid could accelerate cultivation.

In the original story, Oscar had absorbed the eight-petal immortal orchid, and he had a Food-type Martial Soul.

Yet Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing both had the Hell Spirit Cat Martial Soul.

In the original story, Zhu Zhuqing had absorbed narcissus jade muscle bone.

Now, the Chat Group System had actually given the sisters different Immortal Herbs as Sign-In Rewards. Logically, the Chat Group System should not give useless rewards.

Could Tang San's allocation of the Immortal Herbs actually not have been optimal?

Unfortunately, Link knew nothing about Immortal Herbs.

Still, seeing the sisters receive Immortal Herbs from their Sign-In reminded Link of the singular velvet sky chrysanthemum.

In the original story, Dai Mubai had absorbed that Immortal Herb.

Its effect was to strengthen the body, allowing one to attain an indestructible vajra body.

Link was now cultivating the Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill. If he absorbed the singular velvet sky chrysanthemum, might it produce an unexpected, miraculous effect?

At that thought, Link grew a little impatient to visit the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest.

"No rush, no rush. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!"

"The Immortal Herbs are sitting right there anyway!"

"Wait, didn't I already spoil the wonders of Dugu Bo's Medicine Garden to Dugu Yan? What if Dugu Bo ruins the singular velvet sky chrysanthemum?"

At that thought, Link promptly called out to Dugu Yan.

Weak and Helpless Blue Silver Grass: "Yanzi Who Restores the Family's Glory, tell your grandfather not to mess around in the Medicine Garden. I just remembered that there's something terribly fearsome in the Medicine Garden too!"

For the sake of the singular velvet sky chrysanthemum, Link could only play the villain this once.
