Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 426 Failed to Ascend to Power, Netherworld Cat Vomits Blood
Davis's eyes suddenly darkened, like a bottomless, icy pool.

He leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the gold armrests.

"You want to replace her?"

His voice was low, carrying a subtle hint of probing and amusement.

Zhu Zhuqing immediately lowered her eyes, her long, thick eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, concealing the true emotions in her eyes. Her voice softened, yet became even more alluring.

"I dare not. The position of Empress belongs to none other than you, Sister. I only wish to serve you."

Zhu Zhuqing had already figured it out.

Dai Mubai is no longer reliable. If she wants to become the Crown Princess, she has to take a gamble.

Now that Davis is on a solo expedition to the Heavenly Dou Empire, and his sister Zhu Zhuyun is not by his side, she can become his concubine in the Heavenly Dou Empire if Davis agrees.

That way, there will still be time and opportunity to find a way to get rid of my sister and take her place later.

Upon hearing this, a glint of desire flashed in Davis's eyes.

His voice was not loud, carrying a lazy, playful quality, like a cat toying with a mouse, and it echoed clearly in the hall:

"Serve me?"

After speaking, he leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on his knees, his intertwined fingers appearing powerful and in complete control.

His gaze became even more blatant, as if he were appraising a rare trophy, scrutinizing every inch of Zhu Zhuqing's body, from her slightly heaving chest to her slender waist and long, straight legs.

"How should I know, my good-for-nothing brother..."

He deliberately dragged out his words, leaving unsettling silences.

The meaning was quite obvious, and Zhu Zhuqing understood it perfectly, immediately explaining:

"He didn't touch me. Your Highness is free to verify my identity!"
"Your Highness, you may not know this, but I have always...looked down on him and never given him a kind look. Dai Mubai is a coward who only knows how to run away! After the Soul Master Competition ended, I abandoned him and went my separate ways!"

Her words subtly shifted, her voice infused with a perfectly balanced emotion of reverence and regret.

"Your Highness possesses extraordinary talent and ambition. You personally led the campaign against the Heavenly Emperor, and in one battle, you determined the fate of the world. This is the true bearing of an emperor. Who on the continent does not admire you?"

She took a soft breath, as if gathering immense courage, and met Davis's gaze once more, her eyes shining with an almost worshipful light, yet shrouded in a faint, melancholic sadness.

"It's just a pity... I was born at the wrong time. The woman you are betrothed to is my older sister. Sometimes, when the night is quiet, I always think, if only I had been born earlier."

She spoke the last few words very softly, like a feather brushing against the tip of the heart, carrying endless melancholy and a hint of allure.

Davis listened quietly, his face revealing neither joy nor anger, only the glint in the depths of his sinister eyes shifting unpredictably.

He suddenly chuckled softly, breaking the tense silence with an undeniable command:

"Come forward."

Zhu Zhuqing's heart suddenly raced. She took a step as instructed, her high heels clicking softly on the cold floor, the sound particularly clear in the excessively quiet hall.

She walked to the front of the dragon throne, stopped, and looked up at him slightly.

Davis stood up and walked down the steps from the top.

He stopped in front of her, so close that they could feel the warmth of each other's breath.

He didn't speak immediately, but instead scrutinized her again with that intensely piercing gaze, as if trying to discern every subtle expression on her face. Then he reached out and, in an extremely flirtatious manner, pinched her delicate chin, forcing her to lift it even higher.

Zhu Zhuqing obediently tilted her head back, her slender neck forming a beautiful yet fragile arc, her pupils shimmering with tears, striving to maintain that admiration and submissiveness.

She even pursed her lips slightly, making her full lips appear even more alluring.

Davis's fingers slowly slid down the line of her chin, across her fair neck, feeling the faint pulse beneath.

The movements were slow and possessive, carrying a coldness that came with assessing the value of a commodity.

Immediately, his hand boldly touched her shoulder, tracing down the graceful curve of her arm, feeling the firm and elastic skin beneath her leather jacket, finally resting on her slender yet strong waist, even giving it a light but firm squeeze.

Zhu Zhuqing's body stiffened for a moment, and a mixture of humiliation and trembling exploded from the place where Davis had touched her, spreading throughout her body.

But she forcibly suppressed all her instincts to resist, even forcing herself to relax her body and lean slightly towards him, as if intoxicated by this humiliating touch, letting out a very soft, almost sobbing nasal sound.

She could smell the strong odor of alcohol on Davis, along with the unbridled scent of a victor.

Now! He's let his guard down!
Zhu Zhuqing screamed inwardly, as if she could already see herself taking the first step towards the pinnacle of power.

Replacing her sister's position and enjoying the glory of becoming the Crown Princess seems to be within reach.

However, just when she thought she was about to succeed, and even a faint hint of smugness flashed across her eyes.

A sudden change occurred!

Davis's eyes, which had been filled with amusement and desire, instantly turned as cold as ice. All pretense of laziness and interest vanished, leaving only naked mockery and murderous intent!
"Humph!"

A cold, mocking laugh escaped his throat.

The hand gripping her waist suddenly erupted with terrifying soul power!

The immense power of a level 72 Soul Saint erupted without reservation!

"puff--!"

Zhu Zhuqing didn't have time to react at all!

She felt an irresistible, destructive force slam into her abdomen!

The excruciating pain instantly swept through every nerve!
It felt as if an invisible giant hand was gripping and crushing my internal organs!
"Uhhh-!!!"

She screamed in agony, her body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, spitting out a mouthful of bright red blood that drew a glaring line in the air!
"boom!"

Zhu Zhuqing crashed heavily onto the cold, gold-brick ground more than ten meters away, and rolled several times before finally stopping.

Her body felt like it was falling apart, and the excruciating pain was almost consuming her consciousness.

Her beautiful leather jacket was torn, covered in dust and her own vomited blood, and haphazardly wrapped around her body. She was no longer the sexy and alluring woman she once was; all that remained was a disheveled and wretched state.

She struggled to get up, but fell to the ground again due to the excruciating pain and internal injuries, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood that stained her pale lips and chin.

how so? !

She was instantly overwhelmed by boundless terror and disbelief!

She suddenly looked up at the man who was approaching step by step, as if she were looking at a demon descending from hell.
