"That tiger looks so mighty! It's way more imposing than Sister Wu's Martial Soul!"
Ning Rongrong paid no attention to Whale Rubber, the miraculous substance that increased the age of Soul Rings one could absorb. "Didn't you say you had two Martial Souls? Where's the other one?"
With a thought, Dai Tianfeng switched to the Hell Spirit Cat.
At the sight of the cute cat ears atop Dai Tianfeng's head, Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up.
Then Ning Rongrong walked right up to Dai Tianfeng without a care and rubbed his soft cat ears with her hands.
How could Dai Tianfeng put up with this?
He was a dignified seven-foot man. How could he suffer such an insult?
His cat paw in his Martial Soul state clenched, wanting to hit someone.
But when he thought of the rewards in the lottery pool, he held himself back.
A great man knew when to yield and when to stand firm. It was only his little ears being touched, no big deal.
As long as it raised her favorability, that was enough.
Even so, Dai Tianfeng instinctively retreated several steps.
"Rongrong, stop fooling around!"
Just as Ning Rongrong was about to chase after him, Ning Feng stopped her with a smile.
The two of them are getting along very well!
Even Chen Xin, who found Dai Tianfeng especially unpleasant to look at, sighed inwardly.
Never mind. Rongrong will have to marry someone eventually anyway!
As long as she's happy, that's enough!
If that brat dared bully Rongrong, he would definitely cut him down with one stroke of his sword.
If Dai Tianfeng knew what the two of them were thinking, he would have cursed aloud.
Damn you!
Which eye of yours saw us getting along well?
It's obviously that Little Demoness bullying me all on her own!
Meanwhile, in the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
"Imperial Father, do you mean to cancel my engagement to Zhu Yun and transfer it to Fourth Brother?"
Dai Weisi looked at his father in disbelief, his eyes blood-red.
As a man, he could never accept being made to wear a green hat.
Even though he and Zhu Zhuyun had actually had little contact.
"That's right. There's no room for discussion on this matter."
"Not just that girl Zhu Zhuyun. Her sister Zhu Zhuqing's engagement will also be transferred to Tianfeng."
Dai Mian nodded expressionlessly, as though it were nothing important. "Both sisters will become Tianfeng's secondary consorts."
In fact, that was indeed the case.
It was only a matter of transferring two engagements.
Since Dai Tianfeng had already been chosen as crown prince, the core resources of the Star Luo Imperial Family naturally had to be transferred to him.
The sisters Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing had long been engaged to Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai, but given their ages, they had actually had little contact with one another.
That worked out perfectly. They could simply betroth Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing to Dai Tianfeng.
That would both raise Dai Tianfeng's favorability and put the Zhu Family at ease.
It would also make the brothers Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai give up any thought of fighting for the throne once and for all.
At those words, both Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai felt a surge of humiliation.
Their former fiancées could only become Dai Tianfeng's secondary consorts.
How could they accept that?
Dai Mubai clenched his teeth, unwilling to accept it.
Dai Tianfeng was only a concubine's son. It was bad enough that Dai Mubai had been forced to apologize to him, but now even his fiancée was being taken away.
He looked toward the Nether Duke, Zhu Changtian.
The Nether Duke Zhu Changtian was the head of the Hell Spirit Cat Zhu Family, the elder brother of the current empress, and the father of the sisters Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing.
He was a level eighty-six Soul Douluo and wielded immense power at the Star Luo Empire's court.
Sometimes, even Dai Mian had to consider his proposals.
If he spoke up, there might still be a chance to turn things around.
"Uncle! Please stand up for us!"
Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and dropped to his knees, which struck the ground with a muffled thud.
He looked as though he would not get up unless Zhu Changtian helped.
Without betraying any emotion, Zhu Changtian stepped aside to avoid Dai Mubai's kneeling gesture.
He was no fool. Dai Tianfeng had twin White Tiger and Hell Spirit Cat Martial Souls, as well as Innate Full Soul Power.
A genius like that deserved to become his son-in-law.
What rotten fish and shrimp were Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai?
Even if his two daughters became Dai Tianfeng's secondary consorts, it was better than being with them.
"Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing are sisters. Uncle, are you really going to stand by and watch your two daughters share one husband and become a laughingstock?"
Seeing that Zhu Changtian remained unmoved, Dai Mubai forced the words out through clenched teeth.
In high society, sisters sharing a husband truly was no great matter.
But the problem was that the Hell Spirit Cat Zhu Family was a renowned and powerful family in the Star Luo Empire, second only to the Star Luo Imperial Family.
If legitimate daughters like Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing shared one husband, people could easily make them a subject of idle gossip.
"Uncle, if the sisters Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing marry the same man, I'm afraid it will damage the Zhu Family's thousand-year reputation!"
Hearing that, Dai Weisi, who had been utterly disheartened, also stepped forward, intending to make one last attempt.
For the first time, the brothers stood united against a common enemy.
The sight made Zhu Wan'er sigh inwardly.
She was actually the first to propose the matter.
After all, although Dai Tianfeng had awakened the Nether Civet Martial Soul, he had no actual connection to the present Zhu Family.
By now, it was already a foregone conclusion that Dai Tianfeng would one day ascend the throne and take charge of the Star Luo Empire.
If the Zhu Family wanted to maintain its current power, it had to improve its relationship with Dai Tianfeng.
A marriage alliance was one of the best and most direct methods.
But among the Zhu Family's current generation, even counting more distantly related members of the branch families, there was not a single presentable woman apart from the sisters Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing.
Originally, Zhu Wan'er had only wanted one of the sisters to marry Dai Tianfeng.
Unexpectedly, Dai Mian had said that a candidate had already been chosen for Dai Tianfeng's principal wife.
At that news, Zhu Changtian, the head of the Zhu Family, immediately grew anxious.
After all, ever since the Zhu Family and the Dai Family began forming marriage alliances, the position of Star Luo Empress had always been held firmly by a member of the Zhu Family.
Unexpectedly, something had gone wrong this time.
So Zhu Changtian directly proposed to Dai Mian that he marry both his daughters to Dai Tianfeng as secondary consorts.
And Dai Mian agreed at once without another word.
"Your Highnesses, First Prince and Third Prince, the matter of the engagements is entirely for His Majesty to decide."
Zhu Changtian gave a cold laugh.
Dai Mubai clenched his teeth and balled his hands into tight fists.
Just as he was about to say something more, Dai Mian waved a hand. "Enough. The matter is settled. You may all leave."
Dai Tianfeng naturally knew nothing of this.
Even if he had known, he would only have accepted it gladly.
Zhu Zhuqing was already one of Dai Tianfeng's conquest targets.
This time, he had done nothing at all, and the food had delivered itself to his door. All that remained was to eat it all.
And even though Zhu Zhuyun was not among his conquest targets, he had nothing to lose either way.
A pair of peerless beauties who were sisters-that was every man's dream.
Enjoying the blessings of having multiple wives to the fullest, understand?
