Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 256 Shame, Zhu Zhuyun's Tears

The cool moonlight shone on the grove.

Zhu Zhuyun arrived as scheduled.

She was dressed in formal attire, wearing a black night suit over her clothes, and was extremely cautious.

"You are late."

Suddenly a voice came from beside her. Zhu Zhuyun looked up in surprise and saw Lin Xiao leaning against a tree in front of her, arms crossed, waiting for her with a bored expression.

"The teacher in charge came to comfort me in the evening, but I can't get away for the time being."

Zhu Zhuyun offered an explanation, but Lin Xiao did not react.

She pursed her lips and silently took off her night clothes, revealing that she was still wearing a black leather jacket, but with a black belt around her thigh and a silver pendant around her neck.

The black leather jacket accentuated her figure, and some subtle details further aroused desires. It must be said that Zhu Zhuyun, the eldest prince's consort, is quite shrewd.

Zhu Zhuyun has figured it out.

Judging by Lin Xiao's looks, she's not at a disadvantage.

Moreover, given his talent and abilities, he is bound to become one of the top figures on the mainland in the future, so being with him would always provide a sense of security.

All she's been seeking all these years is someone to rely on.

Watching her series of actions, including her flirtatious poses, Lin Xiao was completely baffled and said:
"What kind of operation is that?"

Zhu Zhuyun's eyes held a hint of resentment. "Didn't you ask me to come to the grove tonight? What else could a boy your age be thinking about besides that kind of thing?"

"Alright." Lin Xiao understood.

He was exasperated and quickly stopped Zhu Zhuyun.

"I have no interest in your body."

"I called you here tonight for another reason."

“Davis is vindictive. As his close associate, you keep an eye on him for me. I don’t care if he retaliates against me; I’m not afraid of retaliation.”

“But if he causes trouble for the people around me, and you don’t report it to me in time, then I will settle accounts with him first, and then with you.”

Zhu Zhuyun's body stiffened.

Deep down, she felt no relief at having preserved her innocence.

Instead, a surge of overwhelming anger rushed in, and a wave of shame engulfed her.

Zhu Zhuyun remained silent for a long while before gritting her teeth and saying, word by word:
"I was about to take my clothes off, and you're telling me you're playing a trick on me?"

"Lin Xiao, you bastard!"

Lin Xiao asked curiously:

"When did I say I wanted to have an affair with you?"

"I only asked you to come to the grove. You'd better reflect on why you went to all this trouble."

Zhu Zhuyun said bitterly:

"You bastard!"

That bastard Lin Xiao!

No one knows what kind of internal struggle she went through before she finally planned a completely new script for herself: to collude with Lin Xiao, help the eunuch Davis ascend the throne, and then, while holding Davis hostage, use the resources of the Star Luo Empire to comprehensively enhance Lin Xiao.

Then, with the help of Lin Xiao, he purged the court and the public.

With a few decades of effort, I might even get to experience being an empress!
She imagined Lin Xiao's handsome face countless times, wondering what his tall and straight figure looked like, her heart pounding with tension and excitement.

In short.

When she finally made up her mind, she was told that she had been deluding herself!
Zhu Zhuyun was so angry she was about to faint!
"I'll fight you!"

A dark shadow flashed, and a sharp, cold light rushed towards them.

Lin Xiao dodged to the side, offering a faint reminder.

"I really didn't have any dirt on you."

"But today, Your Highness, the Crown Princess, you don't want anyone to know the secret of the grove in the south, do you? If you want peace and quiet, then keep an eye on that stray dog, Davis."

"Also, if you want me to keep quiet, you'll have to do me a favor next."

“I will contact you then, and I will erase the mark after it is done.”

After saying that, Lin Xiao's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Zhu Zhuyun plopped down on the ground, looking up at the moon. The frosty moonlight shone on her pretty face, which bore a striking resemblance to Zhu Zhuqing.

Tears of shame streamed down her face.

Davis had a splitting headache.

No, it's not just my headache; my whole body feels like it's being burned, a burning pain!
"Bitch!"

He roared and suddenly opened his eyes.

In his dream, the green-haired mature woman, the silver-haired girl, and the jade begonia floating in the sky became his lifelong nightmare.

"Your Highness! You're awake?"

A surprised voice came from the side.

The team leader of the Star Luo Royal Academy team looked at Davis and said cautiously:
"Your Highness, we've examined you thoroughly. Your injuries are quite serious, but thankfully they're not life-threatening and won't leave you disabled, it's just that..."

The teacher in charge stammered:
"You...you may be left with large scars."

"Snapped!"

Davis smashed the bedside table with a single blow, and said angrily:
"I swear I will not be a human being unless I take revenge for this!"

These lowly people of the Heavenly Dou Empire have some nerve!

Knowing full well his identity as the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire, he still made himself look so humiliated on the competition field!

The thought that the news would disappoint his father, the Emperor, made Davis's heart bleed!

Just wait! When the imperial cavalry crushes the decaying Tiandou City and he leads hundreds of thousands of soldiers to press on the border, let's hope that this so-called Burning Maple Team can still be so arrogant!

However, that will have to wait until he becomes emperor.

As for now...

He still couldn't stand it!

"Investigate for me, what are the identities of the members of the Burning Maple team?"

The team leader whispered:
"Your Highness, this is Wuhun City..."

Davis waved his hand impatiently and said:
"I'm not that stupid! We'll discuss this further once we get back to Xingluo!"

……

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Lin Xiao was preparing to return to his dormitory.

But then they saw a figure standing in front of the Ranfeng team's dormitory building for a long time.

"Zhu Zhuqing?"

Lin Xiao was somewhat curious.

How come the younger sister appeared right after I just met the older sister?
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly turned around and, upon seeing Lin Xiao, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Lin Xiao! I've been looking for you for so long!"

Her voice suddenly dropped.

"But... I don't know what I should do with you."

"Perhaps it's to thank you for your help before."

"I am now a Soul Master."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly. "Oh, it's nothing."

Zhu Zhuqing was a hidden pawn he casually planted, but after Xiao Wu became more useful, the opponent's usefulness was greatly reduced.

Lin Xiao considered his initial investments as a form of charity.

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly didn't know what to say, and stammered:
"Now, besides cultivating, I don't know what else I should do every day."

"And I might... die when I'm 25."

"There are some things I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to say if I don't say them now."

She pursed her lips, her expression complex, and said:
"Although I don't know where your kindness comes from, Lin Xiao, you are indeed almost the only light in my lonely life."

Lin Xiao listened quietly.

I feel this child... has indeed committed a sin.

But I'm just not very bright.

Even Dai Mubai knows how to run away, why are you still foolishly going to your death?

Tsk, time to eat some Six Walnuts!
