Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Ability Lock, Intercepting the Zhu Sisters

Chapter 43 An Unexpected Imperial Marriage!

Star City.

The streets and alleys were filled with celebratory banners and ribbons, and the sounds of gongs, drums and cheers rose and fell, as if to convey the joy of the entire city to everyone.

In front of the Star Luo Royal Academy, two huge stone tigers are placed on either side of the magnificent golden gate.

They stand majestic and solemn, as if guarding the honor and glory of this academy.

Xingluo Imperial Palace, Qianyuan Hall.

Emperor Dai Tianyang of the Star Luo Empire, dressed in a magnificent gold and red robe, sat regally on the throne.

His majestic gaze swept over the crowd below.

Apart from Dai Yao and Zhu Zhuyun, all members of the Xingluo team, including Yang Mingxin, Dong Hui, and the other participants, were present.

Beside Dai Tianyang, a eunuch held a tray with ten gold medals bearing the image of a white tiger.

That's a symbol of honor!

After awarding medals to the eight individuals, Dai Tianyang also granted them the title of viscount.

"Has the Crown Prince not returned yet?"

Dai Tianyang's gaze turned to Yin Xiong, who was standing to the side.

Yin Xiong said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, the First Prince has taken the three young ladies from the Earl's Mansion out for an outing."

"His Highness the Crown Prince possesses a soul skill that allows him to travel through space, so we don't know where they went."

Upon hearing this, Dai Tianyang's expression kept changing, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.

"Bestow the title of War King upon Dai Yao, and grant him marriage to Zhu Zhuyun!"

"Once he returns, he no longer needs to come to see me."

After speaking, Dai Tianyang looked at his three sons beside him: Davis, Dai Yunxiao, and Dai Mubai!

That calm, unwavering gaze made all three of them shrink back simultaneously.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Dai Tianyang's eyes.

Three useless people!

He was actually suppressed so severely by someone who didn't have the White Tiger Martial Soul!

Dai Tianyang's gaze swept over the many ministers below, finally settling on Duke Zhu Xiong Ying.

Silence fell over the main hall.

A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Zhu Xiong Ying's heart.

After a moment's thought, Dai Tianyang also bestowed a marriage upon Dai Mubai!

And the object of her affections was none other than Zhu Zhuqing, the third young lady of the Zhu family!

a few days later.

Star Luo Royal Academy.

Suddenly, a spatial portal appeared, and Dai Yao and the other three walked out of it one after another.

Dai Yao looked at the familiar surroundings and nodded to himself.

"Finally back."

Zhu Zhuyun stretched lazily, a smile appearing on her face.

"Yao, how do you think His Majesty will reward you for winning this tournament for the Empire?"

Dai Yao said dismissively, "At most, they'll just give us some empty titles."

The Star Luo Empire is unlike the Heaven Dou Empire.

The imperial power controlled everything in the empire, and there wasn't even a single subordinate duchy.

As the group appeared, more people noticed them.

As soon as Dai Yao and his three companions returned to their residence, they learned about their rewards from Yang Mingxin and Dong Hui.

"I never expected His Majesty to bestow a marriage upon me and Yao."

Zhu Zhuyun looked delighted and smiled broadly.

"War King! That's a good name, but that's all." Dai Yao said with a hint of boredom.

"Your Highness, there is one more thing." Yang Mingxin looked very conflicted.

Seeing this, Dai Yao chuckled:

"Mingxin, when did you become so hesitant?"

"Just say what you have to say."

Yang Mingxin pursed her lips and secretly glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who was playing with Zhu Zhuyu on the sofa.

"It's about Zhu Qing."

"Your Majesty, he has betrothed Zhu Zhuqing to Dai Mubai."

As soon as Yang Mingxin finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Zhu Zhuqing turned to look at Yang Mingxin, her expression blank.

Dai Yao frowned slightly and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Also, His Majesty said that once Your Highness returns, you won't need to come to see him anymore," Yang Mingxin said with a dart in his eyes.

Dai Yao nodded thoughtfully.

He really didn't take Dai Mubai, that good-for-nothing, seriously!

Dai Mubai is nothing; two punches from him will shut him up!

Seeing the confident smile on Dai Yao's face, Zhu Zhuqing felt relieved.

"╯^╰"

"Anyway, I don't want to marry Dai Mubai."

Dai Yao was also puzzled by this. Zhu Zhuqing hadn't even awakened her martial soul yet, so why was Dai Tianyang in such a hurry to marry her off to Dai Mubai?

"Knock knock knock!"

The sudden knocking on the door drew everyone's attention.

Zhu Zhuyun opened the door and was surprised to see Zhu Xiong Ying.

"dad?"

Dai Yao and the others also turned their gazes towards it.

"dad!"

Zhu Zhuyu and Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward to greet them.

"Uncle," Dai Yao said with a smile and a bow.

"Your Grace, Duke," Yang Mingxin and Dong Hui bowed in greeting.

"Don't be shy, we're all family now," Zhu Xiong Ying said with a smile as she entered the house.

"Please sit down, please sit down," Zhu Xiong Ying said with a smile.

"Dad, why did you suddenly come to the academy?" Zhu Zhuyun asked in confusion.
