The Shrouding the Heavens World, "the White Jade Capital.
Heavenly Pool.
While everyone in the Douluo Continent was discussing this, the screen of Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun went black.
The palace garden where Heavenly Pool is located is filled with an intense and pervasive spiritual energy, with warm water vapor carrying a refreshing and unique fragrance.
At this moment, the sisters Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun stood side by side, wearing black swimsuits that perfectly outlined their slender and alluring curves, exuding an exotic and blush-inducing impact.
Zhu Zhuqing's figure was already known for its "well-proportioned body and slender curves".
Against the backdrop of this black "swimsuit," her enviable figure was amplified to an extreme degree.
From her long, slender, fair neck down, the delicate lines of her collarbone are deep and captivating.
The breathtaking curves are Perfect World presented, yet the waistline suddenly tightens, outlining a slender waist that can be grasped in one hand, creating a strong visual contrast.
A pair of straight, slender, and well-defined legs are connected, exuding ultimate sexiness amidst a cool demeanor; every line is full of power and beauty.
Zhu Zhuyun, standing to the side, exudes a completely different mature charm.
Her figure was more voluptuous, exuding an alluring charm like a ripe peach.
While both are form-fitting designs, they appear more elegant and alluring on her, creating a breathtaking "S" curve.
The two sisters, one as aloof as ice and the other as passionate as fire, standing side by side, are a breathtaking sight that would leave anyone speechless.
"Elder sister..."
Zhu Zhuqing awkwardly covered her chest with her hands, her pretty face flushed, and her voice was barely audible, "This... this dress..."
Although Zhu Zhuyun was bolder than her younger sister, her ears were also flushed red at this moment. She tried to remain calm and said:
"It was given by Sister Jiang; it must be a rule from Heavenly Court..."
Since we're already here, let's make the best of it.
The two sisters exchanged a glance, both seeing nervousness, shyness, and an indescribable mix of trepidation and curiosity about the unknown in each other's eyes.
As they walked along the path paved with warm jade into the depths of the Heavenly Pool, they talked in hushed tones, trying to ease the tension and piece together their impressions of the mysterious Heavenly Emperor.
"Sister, tell me... what kind of person is His Majesty really?"
Zhu Zhuqing asked softly, "Although we've met him, he always seems... so distant, so imposing."
Zhu Zhuyun pondered for a moment, recalling their few meetings. "His authority is undeniable."
But judging from what Sister Wanwan said... His Majesty doesn't seem to be the kind of man who... can't control himself when he sees a beautiful woman.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded. "Since Sister Wanwan has said so, His Majesty dislikes deliberate flattery and detests frivolous temptations."
"It seems he values discipline and ability more than beauty."
We just need to do our job well, and... nothing should happen.
"Um."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.
As they talked, the two sisters passed through a misty fog, and suddenly the view opened up before them.
A colossal Heavenly Pool, seemingly carved from a single piece of warm jade, came into view. Its waters were crystal clear, shimmering with iridescent light, and brimming with a rich life force that seemed almost tangible.
In the center of Heavenly Pool, the back of a man came into view.
He had his back to them, his white hair cascading down his shoulders, most of his body submerged in the spiritual spring, only his smooth, well-defined back visible.
Even just his back view exuded an indescribable, majestic aura, as if he were the center of the world.
The two sisters' hearts skipped a beat, and the tension that had just subsided instantly surged to its peak, causing them to unconsciously slow their breathing.
"You are the new maids?"
A calm, emotionless voice came from the pool; it was Lin Hao.
Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing quickly curtsied, their voices trembling slightly. "This servant greets Your Majesty."
"Um."
Lin Hao gave a curt reply without turning around, "Did Jiang Wanwan teach you any manners?"
"Your Majesty, Sister Wanwan has taught me diligently," Zhu Zhuyun replied respectfully.
"Let's see how well she teaches," Lin Hao said calmly. "Let's start by rubbing her back."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The two sisters dared not delay and carefully waded into the water to approach.
The warm, ethereal pool water washed over their waists, bringing a strange sense of comfort, but it couldn't ease the tension in their hearts.
Zhu Zhuyun took a deep breath, picked up a soft, cloud-like bath towel from the jade platform by the pool, soaked it, wrung it out, and gently began to wipe Lin Hao's back.
Zhu Zhuqing, somewhat at a loss, followed her sister's example, taking another bath towel and gently wiping the other side.
The two sisters held their breath and focused intently, strictly following Jiang Wanwan's instructions, using moderate force and performing the movements with proper discipline, daring not to overstep the bounds in the slightest.
After a moment, Lin Hao nodded slightly, his voice seemingly carrying a hint of... satisfaction?
"Not bad, it seems Jiang Wanwan hasn't been slacking off."
Hearing this understated praise, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing felt a strange sense of joy and relief, as if they had accomplished an extremely important task.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. This servant will certainly serve you with all my heart," Zhu Zhuyun replied hastily.
Just then, Lin Hao slowly turned around.
The water rippled, revealing his entire face and upper body to the two sisters.
His face was so handsome it was almost otherworldly, yet it carried an air of majesty that looked down upon all living beings. His eyes were as deep as the starry sky, as if they could see through all illusions.
Water droplets slid down his sharply defined cheeks and muscular chest, adding to his indescribable charm.
However, to Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun's surprise, the moment Lin Hao saw their faces clearly, a hint of... surprise flashed in his eyes?
Although it was only a fleeting moment, their keen observation as Soul Master allowed them to clearly capture it.
The two women felt a sudden tightness in their chests. Had they done something wrong to displease His Majesty?
"Your Majesty... what's wrong?"
Zhu Zhuqing mustered her courage and asked cautiously.
Lin Hao didn't answer immediately. His gaze swept back and forth between the two sisters' faces, his brows furrowing slightly as if confirming something. Then, he asked a strange question that surprised them:
"Say your names... say them once."
Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged glances, their hearts filled with doubt, but they dared not ask further, and could only respectfully answer again:
"This servant Zhu Zhuyun."
"This servant Zhu Zhuqing."
The strange look in Lin Hao's eyes deepened. He muttered to himself, his voice so soft that only he could hear it:
" Zhu Zhuqing... Zhu Zhuyun... Douluo Continent... So, it was them?"
His gaze toward the two sisters instantly became meaningful, as if he were seeing through them some distant and "interesting" world.
