In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 77: Just one big character, how could it corrupt my Dao heart?

Half an hour later, as the sun began to set, Zhu Wu led the two women to a secluded spot on the mountainside to rest. They set up a tent and roasted a few rabbits they had caught along the way.

After they finished eating, the moon had already risen, and the three of them began practicing the Longevity Technique, not waking up until dawn.

"You all go into the tents to sleep. With my physical strength, I can continue to cultivate my mental power and keep watch at the same time," Zi Ji said first, then closed her eyes.

"Then I'll trouble you. I'll get up later to take over," Zhu Wu said.

"No need," Zi Ji said calmly.

Zhu Wu ignored her, nodded to Long Ling'er, and pulled her hand to go into the tent together.

"..." Zi Ji opened her eyes, glanced at the scene with a complex expression, and then fell silent. After a short while, she closed her eyes again.

An hour later, inside the tent, Zhu Wu opened his eyes, reached out to smooth the bedding over Long Ling'er's body, and carefully turned over to get out of bed.

She tiptoed forward, lifted the curtain, and stepped out. Before her sat quietly by the campfire not far away, a soft glow illuminating her figure and highlighting her full curves. She smiled, took a few steps to the side, and sat down, turning her head to admire her exquisite face.

Not long after, a blush rose on Murasaki's face, and then she suddenly opened her eyes.

"Shameless!" He spat lightly and turned away.

"What's wrong with your wife?" Zhu Wu moved aside and reached out to put his arm around her waist.

"Have some shame! Who's your wife?" Zi Ji, still turned to the side, swung her hand backward.

Zhu Wu grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. He looked down at her with a smile and held her hand to block the other one.

"I'll get angry if you keep messing around!" Zi Ji's face turned red as she twisted and struggled while frowning and scolding him in a low voice.

Zhu Wu remained silent, staring quietly into her eyes.

"No, don't do this!" Zi Ji looked away, her voice softening.

"How is it?" Zhu Wu raised an eyebrow.

Murasaki's face flushed even redder. She turned her head and glared at him, looking angry. "Get up! If you want to keep watch, then keep watch. I'm going to rest."

"Oh, okay." Zhu Wu obediently lifted her up, and quickly brought their faces close together.

"Ugh." Zi Ji's pupils widened suddenly, her face flushed red again, like a ripe tomato. Her body instinctively twisted and struggled, and she was pushed away forcefully by the hands that had been released. However, her body was held tightly, and the back of her head was lifted up by the hands.

The campfire curled upwards, stirred by the night breeze, gradually freezing the swaying figures.

As Zhu Wu looked down, Zi Ji's gaze softened, and she closed her eyes, her hands remaining still.

The next second, her eyes suddenly opened again, and she pressed her hand down. After a moment, her eyes softened and slowly opened again.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Wu finally raised his head and leaned his soft body against his shoulder.

Unexpectedly, Zi Ji suddenly flipped over, grabbed his collar with both hands, stared intently into his eyes with her clear, bright eyes, and her rosy cheeks glowed in the firelight.

"Zhu Wu, you are the first man to dare to be so disrespectful to me, and you will be the only one in my life, and also the last. Remember this: from this day forward, I belong to you, but you also belong to me."

"I will not allow you to make any mistakes!"

"Whether you can complete that plan or not, you must live."

Zhu Wu smiled, reached out and grasped the back of her hand, his gaze firm as he said, "Don't worry, I won't die."

"Not only will you not die, but in the future, your man will become the emperor of this world, and even this universe. This is my promise to you today."

"I don't expect you to become any kind of emperor." Zi Ji's gaze softened, and she turned her face to lean on his shoulder.

"As long as you're safe and sound."

"Mm," Zhu Wu responded softly, his eyes flickering slightly in the firelight.

The moonlight shone brightly in the night sky, tinged with a warm yellow by the firelight. On the ground, two people nestled quietly together.

Nothing happened that night. Zhu Wu woke up first, glanced down, smiled, and gently shook himself.

Zi Ji immediately sobered up, looked up at Zhu Wu's face, her cheeks flushed, and she quickly sat up straight and tidied her clothes.

Before long, breakfast was ready, and Long Ling'er woke up and walked out of the tent. She smiled and sat down to the side at Zhu Wu's beckoning.

"Hmph, besides fighting and training with soul beasts, I'm going to practice imprinting some skills." Zhu Wu nodded confidently as he distributed food.

The young wife's memories allowed him to learn about many powerful soul beasts, including those with mental attributes.

Purple Spirit Wolf, Fear Demon Dragon, etc.

With his wife by his side protecting him, he would feel he would be letting himself down if he didn't make some big moves.

"Yes, we still need to thoroughly plunder some medicinal herbs." He added.

"I'll do whatever Brother Tian says," Long Ling'er said.

Zi Ji smiled but didn't say anything.

Fifteen minutes later, the trio of "plucking feathers from a passing goose" set off.

"???" Tianmeng Bingcan, who had been called out by Zhu Wu to do some work, looked at Zi Ji, who was following Zhu Wu like a little bird, and was completely dumbfounded.

What's going on here?

"Boss, teach me!" After observing and confirming that it was true, he immediately transmitted his voice to Zhu Wu.

"First of all, you can flirt, but you must never be a simp," Zhu Wu explained in a telepathic voice.

"."

Four months later, in mid-January, Zhu Wu took the two women back to the Misty District to celebrate the Lunar New Year.

"???" The Crimson King, who had just arrived at the gathering, glanced at the slightly blushing Zi Ji sitting next to Zhu Wu and looked completely bewildered.

Judging from the rankings and Zi Ji's expression.

Something's not right, something's very wrong!

"It's obvious that Zi Ji and Zhu Wu have gotten together," Bi Ji said with a smile, revealing the truth.

"Pfft!" Xiong Jun spat out a mouthful of fruit wine.

The formidable Red King didn't say much, but secretly gave a thumbs-up to show his admiration.

"Red King, now you'll come with us outside," Zhu Wu said calmly.

"Ziji has sensed that the tribulation is approaching, and she needs to stay here and adjust herself."

"Alright." The Crimson King nodded. "Anyway, I've figured out the method for cultivating the mind, and I don't have anything else to do for the time being."

Not only him, but all the ferocious beasts present figured it out.

Zhu Wu nodded and invited everyone to eat.

A few days later, he led the Crimson King out of the misty area and arrived at the other side of the Star Dou Great Forest to continue his training.

Six months later, they heard a rumble of thunder and the three of them quickly returned.

Upon returning to the Misty Zone, the tribulation had already passed, and Zi Ji was unharmed. After giving Zhu Wu the reverse scale that could increase affinity with water and dark attributes, she replaced the Crimson King and then protected Zhu Wu and Long Ling'er as they left the Misty Zone to continue their training.

Time flies, and October arrives in a flash.

Zhu Wu successfully broke through to level 40 and, with Zi Ji's help, successfully hunted down a 2-year-old Silver Moon Wolf King. Without any suspense, with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm present, any soul impact was nothing; he ultimately succeeded in absorbing it.

"Level 42, almost level 43."

Zhu Wu opened his eyes and spoke.

"There's no way around it; raising the age limit will inevitably lead to the physical body reaching saturation prematurely," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm replied.

"When you were absorbing the spirit ring just now, I took the opportunity to break the seal and supply energy, which increased the age of your first three spirit rings by nearly 1 years."

Therefore, the amount of energy absorbed by the physical body from the Silver Moon Wolf King's spirit ring decreased, with more energy remaining in the fourth spirit ring. Zhu Wu nodded, emphasizing that improving actual combat power was the key, and a slight decrease in level increase was not a problem, since he would reach level 43 in a month at most anyway.

"Did you inherit several attributes from the Silver Moon Wolf King?" Zi Ji went straight to the point.

"Besides my inherent spirit and water, I also possess five other elements: earth, wind, light, darkness, and lightning," Zhu Wu laughed. "I have quite a few skills: mental confusion, rippling water, soaring flames, resilient barrier, rapid wind whirl, light barrier, and darkness obstruction."

I've said a lot, and there are one or two of each attribute.

"Let's get used to it through real combat," Zhu Wu continued.

Unfortunately, the soul bone was lost.

He was clearly blessed with good fortune, so why was he still so unlucky? He started to question the meaning of life.

He shook his head and told the two women to continue their fight and medicine-hunting mission.

A few days later, somewhere.

"Boss, there's a human team ahead," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm urgently warned.

"I'll go and kill them!" Murasaki said without hesitation.

"Let me take a look first," Zhu Wu said, stopping him. He then closed his eyes and used his mental detection.

His mental energy rapidly expanded outwards, and he soon spotted a group of Soul Masters.

Wow, it's huge?

Zhu Wu was instantly captivated, a slight surprise creeping over him before regaining his composure. Leaving aside his eldest wife, his second wife was no less impressive; she had grown rapidly in appearance recently, seemingly on par with Zhu Zhuqing from the original novel.

Besides, his wife is incredibly beautiful.

How could a single large character corrupt my resolve?
