Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 107 Father, I Want to Talk to You (Bonus Chapter)

After a long silence, Zhu Zhuyun forced herself to calm down.

Swallowing hard, she asked in a dry voice, "Are you the Netherworld White Tiger?!"

Her voice had lost all its previous softness and charm.

"Isn't that right?"

Zhu Zhuyun was speechless upon hearing this.

That's true.

Whether it's the White Tiger Martial Soul combined with the Netherworld Cat in this Martial Soul Fusion Skill, or the appearance of the Netherworld White Tiger after fusion, it's exactly the same as the Netherworld White Tiger that she and Davis had tried to use before.

But the terrifying aura fluctuations were completely different.

She never doubted the true power of the Netherworld White Tiger, nor did she think it was just a bluff.

Because she herself knows this martial soul fusion skill, she can tell at a glance whether it's real or fake.

It's just that I can't believe it.

"Miss Zhu, even with the same martial soul and the same soul skill, the power can vary greatly, let alone a soul skill performed by two people working together. Don't you know the saying that a slight difference can lead to a huge discrepancy?"

At this moment, Su Cheng's calm voice rang out from the side, "The Martial Soul Fusion Skill depends on the compatibility between the users' Martial Souls. You can't imitate what happened between me and Zhu Qing."

Zhu Zhuyun remained silent for a moment.

She was a complete novice in this area, but what Su Cheng said at this moment seemed to make a lot of sense.

Zhu Zhuqing also fell silent.

She hadn't quite believed Su Cheng when he told her that the Netherworld White Tiger they used was different from that of other royal family members.

Su Cheng made the same statement at the time.

Without a doubt, both of them suffered from a lack of education.

She knew that the Nirvana Sutra could purify the quality of martial souls.

However, she did not know that the improved Nirvana Sutra could not only purify the quality of martial souls, but also deeply explore and strengthen their core information.

This is precisely why their Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul is so unique.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuyun stopped worrying about the issue of the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

Not to mention the Netherworld White Tiger that was so powerful it defied logic.

In terms of cultivation alone, the opponent's current level of strength has also filled her with despair.

The royal family set a deadline of twenty-five years for Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

Even considering Dai Mubai's age, Zhu Zhuqing still has nearly ten years to grow up.

It's not impossible for her to surpass her by one or two major realms at that time. From this perspective, she and Davis have almost no chance.

However, she did not want to die, not even if she were exiled or imprisoned.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she gazed intently at Zhu Zhuqing's calm face.

"What did you mean by telling me to give up on Davis?"

At this point, her expression shifted slightly, and she glanced at Su Cheng, who was standing behind Zhu Zhuqing.

After noticing the other woman's gaze, Su Cheng shrugged, nodded slightly to Zhu Zhuqing, and turned to leave, leaving the two sisters alone.

It seems that Zhu Zhuyun has finally realized what Zhu Zhuqing meant.

However, since it involved royal secrets, they felt it was inconvenient to discuss many things in detail with an outsider like him present.

Su Cheng naturally didn't care.

The issues of cultivation level and martial soul fusion skill have now been explained and covered up. What they will talk about next is nothing more than future plans, and perhaps they will also talk about Su Cheng's identity.

It doesn't matter whether he listens to these things or not, Zhu Zhuqing will tell him everything afterward anyway.

Since Zhu Zhuyun wanted to talk to her sister alone, let them talk freely.

I had already warned Zhu Zhuqing not to mention Zhu Hongtao's affairs. Given Zhu Zhuqing's deep thoughts and the fact that she is not a talkative person, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Actually, there's no need to send Su Cheng away; he knows everything about these things."

Zhu Zhuyun's heart trembled upon hearing this.

The amount of information revealed in this statement is astonishing.

Why would she turn down the fiancé arranged for her by the royal family and instead seek out a member of the Dai family who had been separated from his family? Do we need to think about the implications of this?

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Zhuyun tried to calm herself down.

She stared intently at the younger sister she hadn't seen for many years in front of her.

"Zhuqing, you've really changed a lot."

"There's no way around it. Born into a family like this, who can avoid growing up?" Zhu Zhuqing said calmly. "Aren't you the same, eldest sister?"

Zhu Zhuyun fell silent, her mind involuntarily flashing back to her years of arduous cultivation.

No one wants their future to be decided in advance.

But their weakness forced them to compromise with their respective fates.

The Dai and Zhu families have been linked by marriage for generations. It's such a coincidence that in each generation, the man and woman would fall in love with each other and wait for the day when they would voluntarily become husband and wife.

How is that possible!

Even with the Martial Soul Fusion Skill as a bridge, people's hearts are always fickle.

The Soul Fusion Skill will only deepen the tacit understanding between Soul Masters; there is no such thing as it subtly making the users become lovers.

Give me a reason to give up on Davis.

Zhu Zhuyun's expression was serious as she spoke in a deep voice.

She thought that the "same" that Zhu Zhuqing mentioned referred to this meaning.

Little did they know that Zhu Zhuqing was actually alluding to Zhu Hongtao's statement that "your sisters are also working hard for this."

However, she only briefly touched on this topic; her purpose in talking with Zhu Zhuyun today was not to reminisce about the past.

Zhu Zhuqing knew perfectly well that she had no right to reminisce at this moment.

Once she has a general idea of ​​what the other person is thinking, she can make her final decision based on their choice.

"You don't need to pin your hopes on the royal family." Looking at the older sister who had accompanied her as she grew up, Zhu Zhuqing's usually cold expression softened slightly as she spoke softly.

"The Dai family wants to use these methods to cultivate their heir to the throne, so why should we be dragged into it?"

"really……"

Zhu Zhuyun stared blankly at her younger sister, who was both familiar and unfamiliar to her, and felt a tightness in her heart.

"Are you really sure? Do you know the consequences of doing this? If you fail, do you know what the final result will be?"

Zhu Zhuqing, observing Zhu Zhuyun's words and expressions, roughly understood some of her inner thoughts.

Actually, the other party wanted to stand by her side, otherwise they wouldn't have hesitated so much. Her attitude was very subtle from the very beginning of their meeting.

It was only out of fear of the royal family that he avoided speaking.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Zhuqing did not immediately answer Zhu Zhuyun's question.

Instead, she sighed and asked, "Sis, what are your feelings for Davis?"

"What...does it feel like?"

Upon hearing her question, Zhu Zhuyun seemed somewhat bewildered for a moment.

There doesn't seem to be anything special about it; it's just been the same way all along.

The eldest daughter of a family with exceptional talent, the chosen marriage partner of both families, the future Crown Princess of the Star Luo Empire, and even the Empress of the Empire.

She never thought of breaking out of this framework to forge her own path.

No one ever asked her which path she wanted to take.

At most, all she hoped was to ensure Zhu Zhuqing's safety at the last moment.

"That person once told me that you should never lack the courage to break the rules."

Zhu Zhuqing stared at Zhu Zhuyun.

"I don't need your help with anything. Just wait and see how things develop. Giving yourself more leeway will also give you more options for your future. This shouldn't be difficult for you, sister."

"..."

Zhu Zhuyun looked at her for a moment and nodded slightly.

"What exactly is your relationship with Su Cheng?"

Just as Zhu Zhuqing turned to leave, Zhu Zhuyun couldn't suppress her doubts and asked the question.

"We're just comrades-in-arms," ​​Zhu Zhuqing said softly, turning her head. "Besides, do we even have the right to think about such trivial things right now?"

Zhu Zhuyun stood there stunned upon hearing this.

More than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye.

The situation in the Star Luo Empire appears calm on the surface, but in reality, undercurrents are surging within.

However, under the suppression of the powerful imperial family, these undercurrents could only remain undercurrents and could not cause much of a stir.

The capital of the Star Luo Empire.

Under the cover of night, Zhu Zhuqing, 25, stood quietly in front of the Zhu family mansion.

A long, fitted, jet-black dress covered her from head to toe, leaving only her delicate face, which possessed a unique charm beneath its cool demeanor, and her long, flowing black hair exposed.

Although she stood there alone, she exuded the aura of a leader who had long held a position of authority.

She was all alone, yet it seemed as if a thousand troops were following behind her, and the starlight of the sky fell only upon her.

If an outsider were to see her, they might even subconsciously overlook her stunning beauty, leaving only an unfathomable phantom in their mind.

Not long after, the Zhu family's gate was suddenly flung open.

Unlike before, she was greeted not just by a few servants from the mansion this time.

Even the head of the Zhu family, Duke Zhu Hongtao of the Underworld, was standing not far from the door, waiting for her to enter.

Zhu Hongtao looked at his youngest daughter, his expression momentarily dazed.

Over the years, Zhu Zhuqing has rarely returned home.

Most of the time, he either trains and experiences outside to improve his Soul Master cultivation level, or he is adept at entertaining and currying favor with the upper echelons of the empire.

Not only did its growth rate completely exceed his expectations, but it also remained silent and patient throughout.

It wasn't until the last two years that an astonishing energy erupted, completely muddying up the deep pool of the empire's upper echelons.

First, he shocked the entire capital by reaching the peak of the 69th level Soul Emperor at the age of 24. Then, under the pretext of cultivation, he forcefully postponed the marriage agreement that had been arranged with the Third Prince Dai Mubai, and postponed the battle for the heir of the royal family for five years.

Most importantly, most of the nobles actually expressed their support for Zhu Zhuqing's actions.

Over the course of more than a decade, her influence spread silently to the upper echelons of the empire.

With such prestige, even the imperial family could not ignore it and agreed to her request.

The Baihu Dai family, in the end, was merely the largest noble family.

The Star Luo Empire is not a one-man show by the emperor; he also needs to consider the influence of all parties.

In addition, the prince Dai Mubai was not up to par, and Zhu Zhuqing herself did not explicitly refuse the marriage, but only postponed it.

Even Zhu Zhuyun, one of the other two heirs, said she was willing to wait another five years.

Based on this, even the emperor had no reason to resolutely oppose it.

The eldest prince, Davis, expressed his opposition.

After all, with Dai Mubai holding them back, he and Zhu Zhuyun might still have a chance in a two-on-two situation. Otherwise, with Zhu Zhuqing's talent, who knows what heights she would reach in five years.

But it's clear that he alone couldn't turn the tide.

In the current Star Luo Empire, everyone who meets Zhu Zhuqing must give her a wide berth.

This is not only because of her strength and background, but also because of the amazing potential she has shown over the years.

She is even often compared to Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo of the Haotian Sect who was once famous.

"Father."

Zhu Zhuqing stepped into the gate of the Duke's mansion and bowed slightly to Zhu Hongtao.

"Why did you suddenly have time to come home today without telling me beforehand?"

Zhu Hongtao said with a smile, just like a loving father.

In Zhu Hongtao's mind now, Zhu Zhuqing has an extremely high probability of becoming the next Empress of the Empire.

"I have something important to discuss with you, but I'm wondering if this is a convenient time for you?"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's serious expression, Zhu Hongtao's expression also became solemn.

Given the other party's current strength and status, the fact that they still consider it an "important matter" is clearly extraordinary.

After a moment's thought, Zhu Hongtao looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said in a deep voice, "Come with me."

He then waved the servants away and led her to a study behind the main hall of the Zhu family.

After Zhu Zhuqing entered, Zhu Hongtao reached out and closed the door, then turned around and looked over.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Zhu Zhuqing didn't keep them in suspense and took out a manuscript from her bosom and handed it over.

He said softly, "Father, the reason I have made such rapid progress over the years is precisely because of this unprecedented cultivation method."
