Outside the walls of the Star Luo Imperial Palace, a large number of taxi drivers patrolled, each with a serious expression.
The Soul Master who have come to participate in the competition, along with the ever-growing number of spectators, have formed a dense sea of people on the streets. Therefore, as the host country, the Star Luo Empire naturally needs to strengthen its defenses.
" Young Master Cao, are you here to see the princess?"
"Hmm, has Xu Jiujiu been in the palace?"
"Yes, Young Master Cao, please come in."
Soon the soldiers opened the gates, and Cao Yu entered the Star Luo Imperial Palace under the cover of night.
Upon arriving in the lobby, the first people Cao Yu saw were the members of that Retirement Group.
The commotion outside didn't seem to bother them. Tonight, his brother-in-law, Xu Jiawei, was also gathered with these people.
Xu Jiawei spotted him immediately, then waved to him and said, " Little Yu, sit down and have some tea."
"Brother-in-law, uncles, and all the other uncles, good evening. Are you having tea here again?" Cao Yu didn't stand on ceremony and sat down in an empty seat. Only then did Xu Tianshui and Cheng Gang realize what was happening and greeted him.
"Good evening. Little Yu, are you here to see Jiujiu?" They guessed Cao Yu's purpose at a glance and couldn't help but tease him.
Seeing Cao Yu scratch his head sheepishly, the group of people burst into laughter like a bunch of clowns.
Back then, Little Yu was as stubborn as an ox, but now that he's tasted success, he's learned to take the bait automatically.
Liu Kongzhu even said, "It's true that even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman, Little Yu, don't you think?"
"Haha, Hollow Bamboo, stop teasing Little Yu, or he'll blame you next time he doesn't come," Xu Tianshui said, stepping in to smooth things over.
On the other side, Cheng Gang waved his hand and said loudly, "Why drink tea? Come on! We'll all drink alcohol, Little Yu, you drink too."
More than an hour later.
By this time, Cao Yu was already drunk and slumped on the table, but he kept muttering, "Come on, drink! Uh! I'm not drunk yet."
Xu Jiawei patted his shoulder, saying with a wry smile, " Little Yu, you're drunk. I'll have Jiujiu take you back to your room right now."
"I can still drink, I'm not drunk!"
But after a short while, Cao Yu felt himself being lifted up and placed on another person's shoulder, the feeling of which was soft.
The familiar scent wafted over; it was Xu Jiujiu.
"Brother, I'll take Little Yu back to her room now." Under everyone's gaze, Xu Jiujiu's face seemed slightly flushed.
Before anyone could react, Xu Jiujiu led Cao Yu away from the hall.
Xu Jiawei and Xu Tianshui couldn't help but chuckle as they watched the two figures disappear into the distance.
Before long, Xu Jiujiu led him to a lavishly decorated bedroom, which could be described as luxurious.
Cao Yu opened her eyes and looked around. She felt a strange sense of familiarity. Wasn't this her Jiujiu boudoir?
" Little Yu, how are you feeling?" Xu Jiujiu carefully examined his face and asked with concern.
"I've missed you Jiujiu."
"Yes, me too." Xu Jiujiu, she leaned against him, listening to his heartbeat, then looked up at him affectionately and said softly.
At this moment, a surge of alcohol suddenly rushed into Cao Yu's brain, gradually building up from the beginning.
Finally, it transformed into primordial energy that raged within the body, as if trying to burst free from the constraints of clothing.
Her breathing became uneven. Looking at Cao Yu like this for Xu Jiujiu, she felt both worried and expectant. She asked softly:
" Little Yu... what's wrong?"
Cao Yu stroked her cheek, smiled, and said:
"What's wrong with me? You'll only know once you experience it."
After saying that, he half-squatted on top of Xu Jiujiu, slowly bent down and walked south...
He didn't rush to take a step.
It seemed as if she was holding a GPS device, first stepping onto her Xu Jiujiu eyelids, then moving to her face, lips, chin, and a fair Swan neck.
Then continue south...
Only then did Cao Yu understand where the vital energy was headed.
Then a magnificent sword dance began, the dancers moving gracefully, like a beautiful painting.
In less than ten minutes, Xu Jiujiu shivered!
Half an hour later...
The magnificent sword dance had only just begun when all the power within Xu Jiujiu's body was already exhausted.
Like a little rag doll that has lost its soul, it lay there limply.
Her waist-length hair was soaked with sweat and clung to the skin around her face.
"Can you feel it? Jiujiu, the real show is just beginning."
Cao Yu brought the long-forgotten divine weapon back to the light of day.
The magnificent chandelier on the ceiling of the entire room had been lit all night.
Cao Yu stayed there for another morning until dawn.
There's no way we can watch today's match. Cao Yu wasn't planning on going anyway, since there are official members present, and the reserve team is just there to watch the excitement.
Moreover, he had already spoken to Wang Yan and Xuan Zi yesterday, saying that whether or not he watched it was entirely up to him.
Rather than just standing around doing nothing, it's better to stay by Jiujiu's side.
" Jiujiu, let's go have breakfast." Cao Yu looked at Xu Jiujiu with affection and stroked her hair.
"Hmm, I want to sleep a little longer." Xu Jiujiu pouted, not wanting to open her eyes yet.
"Get up, you lazybones! If you keep sleeping, the sun will be high in the sky!"
"No, I haven't slept all night." Xu Jiujiu still whined, unwilling to get up.
Cao Yu scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Alright then, I'll go get you some breakfast."
"Okay, go ahead, I'm going to sleep a little longer."
After spending Xu Jiujiu morning with him, Cao Yu reluctantly left the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
He soon headed straight for the Star Emperor Hotel. If everything went smoothly, Xiaotao and her team should win this elimination round.
Upon arriving at the hotel's top floor, Cao Yu spotted Ma Xiaotao and her group, and asked them a question.
" Xiaotao, did you win?"
"What do you think?" Ma Xiaotao's face was full of smiles. It was obvious that they had won; this first elimination round was far too easy for them.
She then moved closer to Cao Yu, took a careful sniff, and the smile on her face vanished the next second.
" Little Yu! Where did you go gallivanting around last night?"
Cao Yu forced a smile and said, "I went to the palace to find Princess Xu Jiujiu."
Suddenly, Ma Xiaotao was at a loss, and it was Tang Ya and the others who came to her rescue.
" Sister Xiaotao, I forgot to tell you, Jiujiu is also our sister," Tang Ya comforted her from the side.
On the other side, Gongyang Mo secretly leaned close to Dai Yueheng's ear and whispered:
"Seriously? Is this junior that brave?"
"Even the current Star Luo Empire Princess is his wife, that's incredible!"
On the other side, Bei Bei and the others were also secretly eavesdropping. Then Dai Yueheng nodded and said:
"I've lived in Star Luo City since I was a child, and I've known about Young Master Cao's abilities for a long time. What's so special about being engaged to a princess? I know quite a lot more than that!"
At this moment, Gongyang Mo asked curiously, "Tell me about it!"
Dai Yueheng waved his hand, and the crowd drew closer. "Come on, let me tell you..."
