Wang Qiu'er froze on the spot, a blush spreading from her cheeks to her delicate earlobes, and her pace quickened considerably. She even let out a faint, shy snort, giving her a charming and adorable appearance.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Zihuang couldn't help but sigh, realizing that he was getting involved with more and more women.
Shrek City, a bustling food street in the south of the city.
Coco, who had traveled all the way from the south of the Sun Moon Empire, was sitting at a wooden table set up by an open-air vendor, enjoying the local specialties of Shrek Academy.
In order to reach Shrek City as quickly as possible, she endured wind and rain along the way, and hadn't had a hot meal for several days. With the idea of eating her fill before going to find Yu Tianhuang, she simply put aside her mental burdens for the time being.
Suddenly, Keke caught a glimpse of a familiar face out of the corner of her eye. She instinctively looked closely and her eyes widened in surprise. For a moment, she forgot to chew the food in her mouth.
"Waaaaahh ...
Choking on her words, Keke patted her flat chest, her face flushed.
Xu Zihuang reluctantly handed over the juice on the table.
As if she had found a lifeline, Keke quickly grabbed it and gulped it down. After a long while, she finally calmed down and slammed her hand on the table.
"You?! Me?!"
Keke's brain was completely overloaded, and she didn't know where to begin, looking utterly bewildered. Seeing the strange looks from the passersby, she anxiously pulled Xu Zihuang into the dark alley.
"Come with me!"
Chapter 493 Nighttime Infiltration of the Palace and Revealing Identity
The dimly lit alley seemed isolated from the wide, bustling street not far away, with only faint sounds of noise coming from the other side of the street.
Keke, who is almost five years older than Xu Zihuang, is already twenty-four years old this year, but her petite figure has a completely age-incongruous effect. She is only about 1.6 meters tall, just touching Xu Zihuang's chest.
Keke tried to organize her thoughts, but after a long pause, she still didn't know where to begin. Moreover, after three years apart, she noticed that Xu Zihuang now possessed a unique and indescribable charm compared to when he was still somewhat naive.
His deep purple eyes, exuding an air of nobility, were as profound as the vast starry sky. His ethereal气质 and flawless face constantly captivated her heart. She thought she had let go of her lingering feelings, but she found herself drawn to Xu Zihuang again without even realizing it.
Xu Zihuang smiled gently, breaking the romantic atmosphere between the two.
"Senior Keke, you came to Shrek City this time because of Ju Zi, right? Did she send you to find me?"
"Huh?" A variety of embarrassing thoughts raced through Keke's mind. She was stunned for a moment, then realized what was going on and nodded repeatedly as if she were trying to hide something.
"Yes, yes, yes! Sister Orange asked me to come here to find you."
Two alluring blushes rose on Keke's pretty face, and she was a little afraid to look Xu Zihuang in the eye.
Pah! Pah! You brat, you're ruining my mood!
Then, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly grabbed Xu Zihuang and pretended to walk towards the south gate of Shrek City, preparing to leave Shrek City with Xu Zihuang.
"Tianhuang, don't say anything now. Sister Ju and I have something urgent to discuss with you. Come with me first!"
Despite her petite stature, Ke Ke possessed extraordinary strength. An astonishing force emanated from Ke Ke's right hand, propelling Xu Zihuang forward a few steps.
Once Keke had gotten used to the force, Xu Zihuang exerted a little more force and pulled Keke back.
Keke turned around in confusion, and just as she was about to say something, she saw Xu Zihuang's calm and unwavering eyes, and she calmed down a little.
"I'm not lying to you, Sister Orange really needs to talk to you urgently. It's not convenient to discuss these things here, let's go somewhere where no one is around."
"Senior Keke, I didn't mean to doubt you. I just wanted you to calm down and talk things over slowly."
As Xu Zihuang spoke, a strange, brilliant golden light flashed. The next instant, the two of them vanished from their spot.
Since his mental strength broke through to the demigod realm, even when he wasn't in his Golden Eye Martial Soul True Body state, he could use the Void ability with ease. This ability is essentially about using mental strength to locate a position and then controlling spatial power for pinpoint teleportation.
Previously, he needed to enhance his control over spatial power through the amplification of his Martial Soul True Body to ensure the stability of long-distance spatial teleportation. But now, not only has his spiritual power reached the demigod level, but he also has a deeper understanding of spatial power, so he can skip this step.
Currently, his control over spatial power is undoubtedly the strongest among those below the god level in this world.
Before Coco could react, she found herself atop a towering mountain. The silvery moon, hanging high in the sky, seemed almost within reach, illuminating her delicate face. Looking up, she saw only a vast expanse of rolling mountains.
Her gaze instantly froze, staring at Xu Zihuang across from her with a mixture of surprise and unease. She said warily, "Tianhuang, where is this? You wouldn't be plotting something against me, would you?!"
"This is the northern border of the Star Luo Empire." Xu Zihuang shook his head helplessly.
"Senior Keke, didn't you say you wanted to find a secluded place? Let's talk here."
"The northern border of the Star Luo Empire?! The northern border of the Star Luo Empire is at least several hundred kilometers away from Shrek City." Keke looked around incredulously.
Are you sure you're not lying to me?
Knowing that explaining his abilities would only cause Keke to react with surprise again, Xu Zihuang could only sigh and rub his forehead, then simply went along with Keke's words.
"Alright, Senior Keke, I did have ulterior motives towards you, and this isn't the northern border of the Star Luo Empire. Now you can tell me."
However, the more Xu Zihuang said that, the less playful Keke became. She revealed her two cute little tiger teeth and glared at Xu Zihuang with a slight reproach. Actually, what she said just now was purely an instinctive reaction. If Yu Tianhuang really wanted to take advantage of her, she would be more than happy to accept it.
Her small chest heaved slightly as Keke tried her best to calm herself down. She said to Xu Zihuang in a deep voice, "Tianhuang, do you know what Sister Ju has been up to these past few years?"
"She must have gone to join the army," Xu Zihuang replied knowingly.
Keke nodded, her tone a mixture of melancholy and admiration.
"Over the years, Sister Orange has honed her skills in the military and distinguished herself through her abilities. Later, with Xu Tianran's support, she was appointed as the leader of the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps. She made outstanding contributions in the recent war and became the commander-in-chief of the three armies. The strategy of attacking the Mingdou Mountains head-on and launching a surprise attack on the Tianhun Empire in secret was devised by Sister Orange."
"Isn't Xu Tianran the emperor of your Sun Moon Empire? Why do you call him that?" Xu Zihuang looked at Keke thoughtfully.
Keke snorted coldly, her eyes filled with disgust.
"Xu Tianran's family are all traitors who plotted to seize power! Moreover, they colluded with evil soul masters. I heard from Sister Orange that the palace coup in the Sun Moon Empire's palace back then, and the death of Prince Zihuang, were very likely their conspiracy. Tianhuang, I remember I told you about Prince Zihuang before."
"During the more than twenty years that His Highness Prince Zihuang was in charge of the southern part of our Sun Moon Empire, the land was prosperous and the people lived in peace and contentment. The conflicts between the border and the Star Luo Empire also ceased. His Highness Prince Zihuang has always enjoyed great prestige in the southern part of our Sun Moon Empire. If His Highness Prince Zihuang were still alive, Duke Baihu of the Star Luo Empire would not have dared to allow his soldiers to harass the border of our Sun Moon Empire. In that case, Sister Ju's family would not have suffered such a fate."
As she spoke, Keke's eyes reddened. Kind-hearted, she felt deeply sorry for what Ju Zi had gone through over the years.
Xu Zihuang was also filled with emotion, and gently patted Keke's back. Once he reclaimed everything that was rightfully his, he would vindicate his father and end the conflict on the continent once and for all.
"What? Trying to take advantage of me?!"
Keke realized her lapse in composure, and rolled her eyes at Xu Zihuang in feigned anger, muttering to herself.
That jerk still manages to charm girls. If I hadn't been so decisive in rejecting him back then, hmph...
Keke calmed herself down and continued gloatingly, "I wonder if Xu Tianran is getting his comeuppance for what happened back then. He lost his manhood in an assassination attempt by his own brother. So even if Sister Ju becomes Xu Tianran's empress, that dead eunuch Xu Tianran can't do anything to her. Tianhuang, you can't look down on Sister Ju."
"Senior Keke, let's get down to business first." Seeing that Keke had gone off-topic again, Xu Zihuang couldn't help but remind her again.
"Recently, Xu Tianran has been pressuring Sister Ju to lend him her sperm to have a child, but Sister Ju only wants your sperm. Are you willing to help Sister Ju?"
Keke giggled, staring intently at Xu Zihuang, but a blush crept onto her face as she teased him. Although she was a grown woman, she had never experienced those kinds of things.
It's true that killing a thousand enemies resulted in losing eight hundred of your own. The key point is that the so-called killing of a thousand enemies was something she imagined herself.
"I understand what you and Ju Zi mean," Xu Zihuang sighed softly.
"I won't refuse Orange's request, but what are you planning to do?"
"You don't need to worry about that." Keke took out a sealed metal tube engraved with beautiful golden patterns from her storage soul tool.
"Just give me your seeds, this metal tube can preserve their activity." Realizing the ambiguity in her words, Coco blushed and denied it again, "No! Give your seeds to Sister Orange!"
Without further ado, Keke handed the sealed metal tube to Xu Zihuang.
Xu Zihuang took the metal tube, his gaze slightly narrowed. From Keke's words, he roughly understood some details of Orange's plan.
Orange deliberately distanced herself from him to avoid taking risks. Although he didn't know how Coco would hand the metal tube over to Orange, he knew it would inevitably involve some risk.
However, Ju Zi's worries were completely unnecessary. He now had enough confidence to enter and leave the Sun Moon Empire's palace at any time without being detected by even a Limit Douluo-level powerhouse.
"Senior Keke, let's go to Mingdu together."
"Ah?!" Keke's delicate body trembled slightly, and her pretty face showed a troubled expression. Ju Zi had repeatedly warned her beforehand not to involve Yu Tianhuang in this matter.
However, Yu Tianhuang's kindness and loyalty made her admire him even more, and her expression was moved.
Sister Orange, you didn't misjudge her!
Knowing what Ke Ke was thinking, Xu Zihuang released his Golden Eye Martial Soul.
Red! Red! Red! Red! Red! Bright gold! Blue gold!
Eight spirit rings, enough to terrify anyone, rose one after another from beneath his feet.
If Xu Zihuang hadn't concealed his aura, Keke would probably have collapsed to the ground, her legs giving way. Even so, the shock in Keke's eyes was beyond words.
"An eight-ring Soul Douluo?!"
Yu Tianhuang is not even nineteen years old this year. To break through to the level of an eight-ring Soul Douluo at such a young age is simply unbelievable. Moreover, the ratio of those eight soul rings is even more astonishing than the last.
The golden million-year spirit ring was only rumored in the Douluo Continent, and she didn't know much about it. But the six blood-red hundred-thousand-year spirit rings were real.
While Keke was still in a daze, Xu Zihuang had already grabbed her wrist.
The bright golden seventh spirit ring, which had been around for a million years, radiated a noble and majestic golden light. The enormous golden eye spirit light and shadow appeared behind Xu Zihuang, engulfing him and Keke.
After several flashes, a vast, brightly lit metropolis quietly appeared in their sight. The towering buildings, with their modern style and metallic feel, highlighted the city's unique characteristics.
Sun and Moon City, the capital of the Sun and Moon Empire, is also known as Mingdu.
Looking at this familiar city, Keke was immediately dumbfounded. Shrek City was located in the center of the original Douluo Continent, while Mingdu was located in the north-central part of the Sun Moon Empire. The journey from Shrek City to Mingdu was almost equivalent to crossing half of the continent.
Keke suddenly looked at Xu Zihuang beside her. Only now, looking back, did she belatedly realize that Yu Tianhuang hadn't lied. That mountainous area should be located in the northern border of the Star Luo Empire.
Xu Zihuang released Keke's delicate, fair wrist and walked towards Mingdu.
"Let's go, Senior Coco."
"Oh." Keke quickly followed, unable to suppress her doubts any longer, even though she already had some guesses.
"Tianhuang, was that your power just now?"
"Just some uses of spatial power." Xu Zihuang said calmly, using his fourth soul skill to imprint the simulated soul skill of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, and entered Mingdu with Keke without revealing their identities.
"I know Orange is worried, but if I want to leave, no one can stop me. And Senior Coco, I don't want you to be implicated because of what happened between Orange and me. With me here, at least your safety is guaranteed."
Keke pursed her lips, deeply moved by Xu Zihuang's words. She silently followed behind him until they arrived at a three-story pavilion with a courtyard on the west side of Mingdu. Green vines climbed the courtyard, seemingly neglected for a long time. The pavilion itself was dusty, but still retained traces of past life.
This is the property that Ye Guyi and Nana bought back then.
Xu Zihuang and Keke stood side by side in the living room of the attic. Xu Zihuang's expression was calm but slightly sentimental, while Keke was examining the room with great interest.
Xu Zihuang said in a deep voice, "Senior Keke, please make do with staying here for the time being. It's only one street away from the western suburbs of Mingdu, and further west is the complex Riyue Mountain Range. If anything unexpected happens, we can respond in time."
"And what about you?" Keke stopped and turned around to look at Xu Zihuang.
"I'm going to see Ju Zi." Xu Zihuang nodded slightly with a determined look in his eyes, and then comforted Ke Ke, "Leave the rest to me."
