The journey was dull and tedious, but fortunately, Gu Yue Na solved that problem perfectly. They traveled by day and did the things they loved at night, living their days in bliss.

On the tenth day, the car finally ran out of fuel, but they were not far from Star Luo Imperial City.

Yang Tian put away the car that had carried them through day and night, then headed toward Star Luo Imperial City with Gu Yue Na.

A pair of heavenly lovers entering Star Luo Imperial City naturally drew plenty of attention. Yang Tian was helpless about it. Even though they had concealed their appearances, their temperament could not be completely hidden.

On the streets, Gu Yue Na was no longer curious about everything as she had been during her first visit to the city. The only thing she was curious about now was Yang Tian.

Those who lived within the imperial city were either rich or noble. People dressed in lavish clothing and carrying fluctuations of Soul Power were everywhere.

Gu Yue Na hooked her arm through Yang Tian's, a motion that had become incomparably familiar. "Are we going straight to break off the engagement?"

Yang Tian nodded at her words. "Before that, we need someone to lead the way. Once we settle Zhuqing's marriage, we can rest properly for a couple of days."

Yang Tian had no intention of using gentle means to deal with Zhu Zhuqing's marriage, but regardless of the method, they first had to meet Zhu Zhuqing's father, Duke Zhu.

This did not trouble Yang Tian at all. Because walking toward them was the eldest daughter of the Zhu Family, Zhu Zhuyun!

Her legs were long, and her figure was astonishingly voluptuous. At the most beautiful age of a woman's life, she drew the eyes of passersby around her at every moment. Compared with Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuyun had less cold aloofness and more bewitching charm and seduction.

As for why Yang Tian could recognize Zhu Zhuyun's identity, that exceptionally rare figure was one reason. The other was that Yang Tian sensed the familiar aura of the Hell Spirit Cat from her.

Zhu Zhuyun stopped before Yang Tian and Gu Yue Na. Her gentle gaze lingered on them for a long while, admiration flickering in her eyes before she spoke. "It has been a long time since Star Luo City welcomed such an extraordinary golden couple as the two of you. My name is Zhu Zhuyun, eldest daughter of the Zhu Family and the current Crown Princess.

"May I offer the two of you some assistance?"

Zhu Zhuyun's words were carefully chosen. She concisely explained her identity while expressing goodwill toward them. At the same time, should Yang Tian and Gu Yue Na not introduce themselves as well?

Naturally, Gu Yue Na would not speak at such a moment. Yang Tian returned Zhu Zhuyun's smile. "My name is Yang Tian, and this is my girlfriend, Gu Yue Na. First, I thank Young Miss Zhu for your kindness. Second, I truly do need your help."

Zhu Zhuyun's initiative saved Yang Tian the trouble of seeking her out.

Zhu Zhuyun's beautiful eyes brightened at once. Yang Tian and Gu Yue Na possessed extraordinary temperaments, so they certainly came from remarkable backgrounds. Perhaps they were geniuses from some reclusive sect. If she could win them over, her position as Crown Princess would become even more secure.

"It is Zhu Yun's honor to be of help to Young Master Yang. What assistance do you require? How about we discuss it at the Zhu residence? It would also allow me to fulfill my duties as a host."

Yang Tian nodded. "Actually, this is very easy for Young Miss Zhu. We came to Star Luo Imperial City to meet Duke Zhu."

Zhu Zhuyun was slightly stunned. What a coincidence. They happened to want to see her father, and she had approached them on her own initiative.

Even so, she led Yang Tian and Gu Yue Na into Duke Zhu's residence. Along the way, Yang Tian and Zhu Zhuyun casually chatted about insignificant matters. Only after entering the Zhu residence did Zhu Zhuyun ask, "What does Young Master Yang wish to discuss with my father? May Zhu Yun know beforehand?"

Yang Tian said, "There is nothing to hide. I came for a marriage alliance. As for the specific details, I would still ask Young Miss Zhu to introduce me to Duke Zhu. Rest assured, this matter will only benefit Young Miss Zhu."

Zhu Zhuyun glanced at Gu Yue Na in confusion. Seeing Gu Yue Na's calm expression, she was somewhat puzzled. Then she wondered whether he was arranging a marriage alliance for someone else. With such a beautiful girlfriend, Yang Tian could not possibly be interested in a woman from the Zhu Family, could he? Although the women of the Zhu Family all had excellent figures due to their bloodline, it was impossible to find another beauty in the entire Zhu Family on Gu Yue Na's level.

She never imagined that Yang Tian's purpose was Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuyun left to find her father. Gu Yue Na looked at Yang Tian with some resentment. "A man brings his girlfriend to break off the engagement of another girlfriend. How absurd! Suddenly, I want to tie you up and bring you back to Star Dou Great Forest, keeping you all to myself."

Yang Tian smiled bitterly. Over time, affection had grown between them. After ten nights of revelry, the increasingly deep feelings in Gu Yue Na's eyes could not be faked. It was only natural that she would be jealous now.

Yang Tian hurriedly pulled Gu Yue Na into his arms and lightly kissed her flawless forehead. He whispered, "Isn't it because my Na'er is so understanding? You have the bearing of the eldest sister. Zhuqing is very pitiful. Don't compete with her, all right?"

Gu Yue Na rolled her eyes and pushed away Yang Tian's wandering hand before saying, "I'm not competing with her. She can't handle you by herself anyway. Aside from me, no matter how many other women there are, they still won't be able to satisfy your needs.

"I'm only letting them have a tiny bit. I don't care."

Yang Tian's face darkened. What kind of logic was that? Letting them have a tiny bit? So what she cared about was his essence?

But Gu Yue Na did have a point. Without her, one woman simply could not satisfy Yang Tian's vigorous needs.

Half an hour later, Zhu Zhuyun appeared again. Yang Tian and Gu Yue Na were still seated in their chairs. Duke Zhu was a rather slight middle-aged man. He looked weak and delicate, with an effeminate appearance.

Seeing that Yang Tian and Gu Yue Na had not stood to greet him, Zhu Zhuyun's willow brows furrowed slightly. Still, she introduced him to them. "Yang Tian, Gu Yue Na, this is my father, the current Duke."

The implication was clear: this was a Duke. By all rights, they should stand and offer their respects.

Zhu Zhuyun was no longer of any value, so Yang Tian ignored her words and addressed Duke Zhu directly. "The Duke may not know me, but that does not matter. I came today for a marriage alliance. The intended partner is Zhu Zhuqing!

"You heard correctly. Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai's fiancée. Oh—she will not be for much longer."

Duke Zhu's already displeased expression darkened further at Yang Tian's rudeness. He immediately snorted coldly. "Who are you, to be so insolent? You dare covet my daughter, the future consort of a Star Luo prince?"

Yang Tian ignored Duke Zhu's anger and calmly said, "I am Yang Tian. You may not know me, but you soon will.

"I came today to break off Zhu Zhuqing's engagement and sign a new marriage contract. This is a notification, not a negotiation."
