Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 370 Which one do you prefer?
As a member of the Zhu family and the Empress of the Star Luo Empire, Zhu Hongxiu herself possessed the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Netherworld White Tiger, along with the Star Luo Emperor Dai Tian. Therefore, she was very clear about...

To comprehend a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the foundation requires both parties to be of one mind.

Two men who master a Martial Soul Fusion Technique might be good brothers; two women who master a Martial Soul Fusion Technique might be good sisters.

But the man and woman comprehended a martial soul fusion skill...

Unless the two parties are related by blood or are relatives, there will almost certainly be some ambiguity between them.

Otherwise, how could a man and a woman who are complete strangers possibly understand each other?
Take Liu Erlong, Flander, and Yu Xiaogang, for example.

As the Empress of the Star Luo Empire, Zhu Hongxiu had access to the Star Luo Empire's intelligence network, so she was well aware of the 'love triangle' relationship between the three of them.

But it is precisely because of this that the three of them were able to create a trinity of martial soul fusion techniques.

And now...

His son, Dai Chengfeng, was ambitious. He not only wanted to learn the Netherworld White Tiger, a martial soul fusion skill passed down through generations of the empire, with Zhu Zhuqing, but also wanted to bring in Hu Liena, the future saintess of the Spirit Hall, to try a three-way fusion.

For a moment, Zhu Hongxiu's lips curled up slightly, and a gossipy glint flashed in her eyes: "Hu Liena, the future Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall? She's quite a nice girl~"

A thousand thoughts may swirle in one's mind, but in reality, they all happen in a fleeting moment.

Zhu Hongxiu's expression quickly vanished, and she regained her gentle demeanor.

But when her gaze fell on Hu Liena again, it was subtly different, showing a touch more intimacy.

“Miss Hu Liena,” Zhu Hongxiu said with a smile, “It’s better to arrive at the right time than early. We’re about to have dinner, and you probably haven’t eaten yet, have you?”

"If you don't mind, why don't you keep some and we can use them together?"

"Senior Zhu, I won't..."

Hu Liena instinctively wanted to politely decline.

After all, she hadn't had much interaction with the Empress of the Star Luo Empire before, and her sudden warm attitude made her feel a little out of place.

"You are Welcome."

However, Zhu Hongxiu interrupted her directly, and even took a step forward and very naturally took Hu Liena's arm, as if she were treating her own junior.

"It's a rare chance to meet you all. Consider this a treat from your aunt to you young and promising children. And thank you for tolerating Chengfeng's temper."

Her movements were gentle yet firm, leading Hu Liena into the room in a half-pushing, half-leading motion, while also greeting Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Chengfeng.

"Come on, Zhuqing, Chengfeng, don't just stand there, come inside."

"No, Auntie. Chengfeng is very good. He's the one who's been helping me. It's just that, Auntie, I still..."

Hu Liena was still a little uncomfortable with Zhu Hongxiu's enthusiasm and wanted to politely decline again.

However, Zhu Hongxiu's expression changed instantly, revealing a hint of sorrow and self-pity.

"What, Nana, do you hate me that much?"

"No, no, no...no!"

Hu Liena panicked when she saw Zhu Hongxiu's expression. She quickly waved her hand to explain, after all, although she was not very familiar with Zhu Hongxiu, she was still Dai Chengfeng's mother.

How could she possibly hate it?

"Since you don't dislike Auntie, then we'll listen to her!"

Finally, seeing Zhu Hongxiu's expectant expression, Hu Liena could only bite the bullet and agree: "Then... I'll have to bother you, Auntie."

"Ha~"

Seeing Hu Liena agree to her request, Zhu Hongxiu turned her head and smiled slightly at Dai Chengfeng.

"Mother..."

Looking at his mother showing off, Dai Chengfeng shook his head helplessly. "Compared to her, Hu Liena, that little fox, is indeed too naive!"

…………

Since Hu Liena had agreed, the four of them quickly headed into the room.

Unbeknownst to her, Zhu Hongxiu had fallen to the back, until she was side by side with Dai Chengfeng. She gently tugged at Dai Chengfeng's sleeve.

Dai Chengfeng was slightly taken aback at first, then understood and stopped in his tracks.

After Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing entered the room, Dai Chengfeng looked at his mother and asked, "What's wrong, Mother?"

Zhu Hongxiu stopped, the gentle smile on her face fading slightly. Her gaze fell on Dai Chengfeng's face, carrying a hint of motherly concern and a subtle, almost imperceptible, teasing.

“Chengfeng,” Zhu Hongxiu said slowly, holding Dai Chengfeng’s hand, “I watched Zhuqing grow up. Although she is a bit aloof, Mother knows that she has a very good character.”

"Moreover, his talent, family background, and appearance are all impeccable, and he is also the person who can comprehend the Netherworld White Tiger with you."

"Where is Hu Liena...?"

"This girl is indeed extraordinary; she's alluring and intelligent, possesses a resilient spirit, and the resources of the Spirit Hall are not to be underestimated..."

At this point, Zhu Hongxiu paused, her tone both direct and playful: "Come, tell your mother, which one do you... truly prefer?"

"which one?"

Dai Chengfeng was caught off guard by his mother's direct question. Even though he was usually calm and collected, he couldn't help but pause for a moment.

A rare hint of embarrassment and helplessness, typical of young people, appeared on his face.

For a moment, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of the restaurant door, and after confirming that Zhu Zhuqing was far away and Hu Liena could no longer hear him, he said awkwardly, "Mother, what are you saying?"

"I'm currently preparing to practice my Martial Soul Fusion Technique in order to improve my strength..."

Seeing her son's rare display of embarrassment, Zhu Hongxiu's smile deepened, her face conveying an expression that said, "I understand you, don't try to fool your mother."

"You! You're still not telling the truth to your mother?"

"Your mother has been through this before, how could she not understand you?"

Dai Chengfeng didn't know what to say. After all, if asked whether Hu Liena or Zhu Zhuqing was more likely to be the first wife, Dai Chengfeng could only say that neither of them was possible.

If not Qian Renxue, then it has to be Bibi Dong.

However, Dai Chengfeng couldn't reveal the identities of either of them, so he could only give a vague answer: "Mother, I have my own thoughts..."

"Never mind, never mind," Zhu Hongxiu shook her head helplessly when she saw Dai Chengfeng's ambiguity. "If you don't want to talk about it, then your mother won't force you."

"But Chengfeng, your mother must remind you!"

At this point, Zhu Hongxiu's expression turned solemn. "You need to know in your heart what Zhu Qing means to you and to Xingluo!"

"The Netherworld White Tiger is a symbol of power, and more importantly, a guarantee that you will control the foundation of the empire in the future!"

"Zhu Qing's feelings, the attitude of the Netherworld Cat Clan, whatever you want to do... you must not neglect Zhu Qing!"

"You should understand!"

The embarrassment on Dai Chengfeng's face faded, and his eyes regained their usual composure and depth. He nodded earnestly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I understand."

"I understand the importance of the Netherworld White Tiger."

"That's good……"

Seeing this, Zhu Hongxiu smiled gently again: "Then let's leave it at that. Don't keep Hu Liena and Zhu Qing waiting."
