Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

For a moment, Dong Qing was stunned.

How did this guy get crippled out of nowhere? What will Zhu Zhuqing's sister, Zhu Zhuyun, do now? What choice will she make to protect herself?

It should be noted that the Zhu family is a very ruthless family. Apart from Zhu Zhuqing, who has a kind heart, everyone else is driven by self-interest. Zhu Zhuyun would never accept a useless prince who cannot cultivate soul power.

And... could Dai Mubai be considered to have turned misfortune into blessing? Not only is his life no longer in danger, but he has also inexplicably become the sole heir to the throne.

As for Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Mubai, even if Zhu Zhuqing has left, it is absolutely impossible for them, because the Star Luo Empire's royal family would never agree to such a thing.

Even if the Zhu family is a very ruthless family, it will not lack offspring. Their direct bloodline is far more than just the sisters Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun.

Even though Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing are gone, there are other descendants of the Zhu family.

The two sisters were simply the two most outstanding among the direct descendants of the Zhu family.

Their absence is insignificant; this is why Zhu Zhuqing, the head of the Zhu family and also the Empress of the Star Luo Empire, is completely unconcerned about Zhu Zhuqing following Dong Qing.

If Zhu Zhuqing climbs high enough in the Spirit Hall, she can dissolve the engagement between Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai.

After a long while, Dongqing came to her senses and asked, "Senior Sister, why was Davis crippled? Who was it? How dare they do such a thing? Aren't they afraid of the wrath of the Star Luo Empire's royal family?"

It's important to understand that the Star Luo Empire is different from the Heaven Dou Empire; the Star Luo Empire possesses immense overall strength. It is currently the strongest empire on the Douluo Continent.

If it weren't for the Spirit Hall standing between the two empires, and the fear that the Spirit Hall might launch a sneak attack from behind, the Heaven Dou Empire would have been destroyed by the Star Luo Empire long ago.

Hu Liena swallowed the tea in her mouth, and then unexpectedly lowered her head, snuggled against Dong Qing, and used his clean clothes to wipe the water stains off her mouth.

Finally, she spoke slowly and deliberately: "Speaking of which, we have to mention the White Tiger Sect. The information I received is that the sect leader of the White Tiger Sect, who has a complicated relationship with the Star Luo Empire's royal family, personally crippled Davis."

"And this Davis, I guess he can't change his old ways. He has a lot of philandering ideas. One day he met the wife of the White Tiger Sect's leader. I don't know if they were in love or if it was consensual, but they secretly got together and planted a green plant on the White Tiger Sect leader's head."

"Some time ago, the Spirit Hall suffered divine punishment. Someone saw the White Tiger Sect Master heading to the Star Luo Imperial Palace, only to unexpectedly stumble upon his wife and Davis having a secret rendezvous." Hu Liena finished speaking and covered her mouth with a light laugh.

The incident caused quite a stir at the time. The White Tiger Sect Master first followed them, then tracked them to the hotel, and finally caught the two in the act of adultery. He then immediately killed the wife who had betrayed him.

Although the Star Luo Empire's royal family kept quiet about the matter afterward and cruelly eliminated all those who knew about it, the Spirit Hall's intelligence organization eventually learned the whole story.

"Didn't the Star Luo Empire's royal family step in to mediate? This is a prince of the Star Luo Empire, a symbol of the royal family. They can't just let him be slaughtered, can they?" Dong Qing continued to ask.

Hu Liena extended her slender white fingers and gently tapped her chin, saying, "Of course they came out. Even the Star Luo Emperor of the Star Luo Empire showed up, but the White Tiger Sect Master still crippled Davis, cutting off his possibility of cultivating soul power."

"Perhaps in his eyes, this would cause Davis more despair and pain than killing him. Of course, I still think he wouldn't dare to kill him. After all, the crime of killing a prince is too great. The White Tiger Sect Master can only do this much at most."

Hearing this, Dong Qing nodded, thinking to himself, "It seems that the divine punishment suffered by the Spirit Hall has once again shaken the course of fate. Otherwise, perhaps Davis's secret rendezvous with the White Tiger Sect's mistress would not have been discovered by the White Tiger Sect's leader."

Although fate is something that ordinary people can hardly change, it is not something that cannot be changed at all. With great perseverance, great willpower, and great fortune, fate can be changed.

This time, Davis's fate was a bit unfortunate, while Dai Mubai's fate was a bit good; he inexplicably became the sole heir to the Star Luo Empire's royal family.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai didn't care at all. She was just a woman he had only met a few times. The only thing he cared about was their marriage agreement.

However, this engagement has already been completely dissolved by the Zhu family head, now the Empress of the Star Luo Empire, so Dai Mubai would not care about a stranger.

As for not caring about the throne?

That was only because Dai Mubai had the opportunity to inherit the divine position. He was qualified to say such boastful things. Now, without immortal herbs to replenish his foundation, he is not qualified to inherit the divine position at all.

Chapter 160, Help My Sister

Meanwhile, in another private room, Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Chenxiang were chatting casually. They were both followers of Dongqing and would follow him for the rest of their lives.

With nothing to do and Dongqing not around, they could only chat idly like this.

"Zhu Qing, I heard that you were saved by His Highness the Holy Son?"

"Yes, at that time he was like a hero who descended from the sky and pulled me out of the hell of despair."

"Then... tell me, Zhuqing, how did you feel at that time?"

"How can I put it? I'm so excited, so very excited, I have this urge to..."

"The urge to offer oneself in marriage?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I only came to Wuhun City and chose to follow him because I was sure that certain lecherous tiger was completely unreliable."

Just then, the door to the private room was gently pushed open, and a mature woman with a very voluptuous figure and a bust size that was in no way inferior to Zhu Zhuqing's walked in.

Her skin was fair and looked very delicate. Her face was less innocent than Zhu Zhuqing's, but more charming.

She wore a black leather jumpsuit that tightly hugged her well-built figure, and the sound of her black high heels on the ground was very rhythmic.

She is Zhu Zhuqing's eldest sister, Zhu Zhuyun, who is seven years older than her. She is currently twenty-one years old, possesses the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul, and is a level forty-seven Agility-type Battle Soul Master.

"Oh, my lovely little sister Zhuqing, you were actually saved by His Highness the Holy Son." Zhu Zhuyun's first words upon entering were incredibly alluring.

Upon seeing Zhu Zhuyun appear, Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment. After she reacted, she snorted coldly and said, "Hmph. What are you doing here? You are not welcome here. Get out of here right now."

"Zhu Qing, please don't get angry. Getting angry is bad for your health. Zhu Qing, you are a favorite of His Highness the Holy Son. In today's younger generation, who doesn't know your name, Zhu Zhu Qing?"

"Even a titled Douluo would have to consider whether His Highness the Holy Son would be displeased if he attacked you, after all, His Highness the Holy Son's teacher was a legend who withstood divine punishment."

Zhu Zhuyun didn't care about Zhu Zhuqing's indifference at all, because she had never been good to this younger sister in the past, and even once wanted to kill her, so it was normal for her to have such a cold attitude.

Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu are now revered as legends by the vast majority of people on Douluo Continent, because they joined forces to withstand a divine punishment that seemed capable of destroying the entire Douluo Continent.

As for why divine punishment eventually disappeared, no one knows, just as no one knows why divine punishment suddenly descended.

"Whether I'm angry or not is none of your business, Zhu Zhuyun. I advise you to leave quickly. Don't be so ungrateful. If you anger His Highness the Holy Son, you might lose your life."

Zhu Zhuqing crossed her arms and stared coldly at Zhu Zhuyun. She had a feeling that Zhu Zhuyun seemed to have some ill intentions today, like cats fighting over food.

"Sigh, Zhuqing, I know you hate me, but please listen to me for a few words. I really have no other choice now." Zhu Zhuyun rubbed her eyes and forced out a few tears.

She knew that her younger sister, Zhu Zhuqing, was cold-mouthed but soft-hearted, and a kind girl.

If it weren't for the fact that the heirs of the Star Luo Empire's royal family had to compete to see who was superior and who would lose everything, Zhu Zhuyun wouldn't have wanted to hurt such a kind girl.

After all, Zhu Zhuqing was her sister, but the rules of royal succession were in place, and she couldn't be soft-hearted; she couldn't accept losing everything.

Just as she thought.

Zhu Zhuqing was kind-hearted after all. Seeing Zhu Zhuyun's appearance, she ultimately did not continue to chase her away, and said coldly, "Speak quickly if you have something to say. Make it clear first, I will not help you."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuyun's eyes lit up, and she quickly sat down between Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Chenxiang. Under Zhu Zhuqing's unwilling gaze, she gently took her hand.

"Zhu Qing, it's like this..." Zhu Zhuyun began to recount the story between Davis and the wife of the White Tiger Sect Master.

Her current situation is awkward. Even if she wanted to follow Davis, the head of the Zhu family would not agree, because the Zhu family believes in making the best use of resources and would never invest in useless things.

Moreover, even if the Zhu family head were to show mercy and allow Zhu Zhuyun to stay and accompany Davis, Dai Mubai would not be lenient and would not allow Davis to have any descendants. If she stayed, she would die sooner or later.

Each generation of the Star Luo Empire's emperor selects his princes from his direct bloodline to inherit the throne, and naturally, he would not allow any existence that threatens his imperial position.

This is also why the princes of the Star Luo Empire kill each other; they either die or are imprisoned forever, and as for their descendants, they can forget about it.

By chance, Zhu Zhuyun learned that Dong Qing had led five thousand elite cavalrymen from the Spirit Hall into the territory of the Star Luo Empire. She knew that her opportunity had come and she had to seize the chance to cling to this powerful ally.

Wherever the 5,000 elite cavalrymen of the Spirit Hall went, the large and small spirit master families were terrified. They were afraid that this elite cavalry composed of spirit masters would suddenly slaughter them, these innocent spirit master families.

However, their worries were unnecessary. Dong Qing would never do such a thing. As long as their hands were not stained with the blood of the Spirit Hall, they would not point their blades at their families.

.....

After listening to Zhu Zhuyun's account, Zhu Zhuqing said coldly, "Birds of a feather flock together. Dai Mubai is no better. I finally made it to the Heaven Dou Empire, and he was just indulging in debauchery, completely disregarding the assessment for the heir to the royal family."

“Yes, Zhuqing, Davis is that kind of person too. I can’t control him at all. Actually, I’m suffering inside too.” Zhu Zhuyun nodded repeatedly in agreement.

“According to you, Dai Mubai is quite lucky. He didn’t do anything, yet he still got the qualification to be the heir to the royal family,” Bai Chenxiang interjected.

"Who are you?" Zhu Zhuyun turned around and looked at Bai Chenxiang.

As she turned around, her voluptuous figure gave people a very direct and beautiful feeling. Moreover, because she was Davis's fiancée and could not do anything improper before the official marriage, she still had a faint fragrance of virginity on her.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Dai brothers, Mubai and Davis, enjoy spending their time traveling and indulging in romantic pursuits.

"The Min Clan, Bai Chenxiang, a follower of His Highness the Holy Son."

Bai Chenxiang deliberately puffed out her chest, but to her dismay, the difference in their strength was too great, so much so that Zhu Zhuyun didn't even care about her little gesture.

"Zhu Zhuyun, from the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire," Zhu Zhuyun politely introduced herself.

The three women then began to discuss the Davis incident, with Zhu Zhuyun mostly complaining that Davis frequented various brothels.

However, Zhu Zhuyun was just telling the truth, because Davis and Dai Mubai had the same personality and hobbies. However, Davis suffered a setback this time and his body was crippled by the White Tiger Sect Master.

Normally speaking, there's nothing wrong with the two brothers having a fondness for women, but the problem lies in Davis's inhuman behavior, which means he can't blame anyone else for doing such a thing.

As they talked, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to realize something was wrong; her older sister, Zhu Zhuyun, seemed to be thinking...

Chapter 161, Sweetness Touches the Heart

"Zhu Zhuyun, you're not going to tell me you want to follow His Highness the Holy Son, are you?" Zhu Zhuqing suddenly asked.

Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's straightforward question.

Even though Zhu Zhuyun was a deep thinker, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Then Zhu Zhuyun realized what was happening. She hugged her younger sister Zhu Zhuqing's arm tightly and said hopefully, "Good sister, good Zhuqing, please help your sister! I've never asked anyone for help in my life, please help me this time, okay?"

"Don't do this, let go. And Zhu Zhuyun, what makes you think you have the right to follow His Highness the Holy Son? And why should we accept you as a follower?"

Zhu Zhuqing tried hard to pull her arm away, but unfortunately, because she was not as strong as her older sister Zhu Zhuyun, she failed several times.

For both followers and followers to be willing, it's impossible to say that you can follow whomever you want. If that were the case, the followers would be fed up with it long ago.

Whether it's a fantasy world, a world of cultivation, or a world of magic, following the strong is a common rule. If I follow you wholeheartedly, do things for you, and risk my life for you, then you must protect me.

Simply put, this follower is someone who recruits underlings.

It is not limited to men or women, but Dong Qing does not have any male followers at the moment, or perhaps he will not have any male followers.

"I won't let go. Zhuqing, please help your sister. I'll listen to you from now on. As for what qualifications I have, I believe that with my strength, I can definitely become His Highness the Holy Son's right-hand man in the future."

Zhu Zhuyun still clung tightly to Zhu Zhuqing's arm. She took shamelessness to the extreme, not caring about her reputation at all, only seeking to achieve her ultimate goal.

"Your strength? Hmph, in a few years, Zhu Zhuyun, you might not be my match."

Zhu Zhuqing snorted coldly. With her current speed of soul power cultivation, she could surpass Zhu Zhuyun, who was seven years older than her, in just one or two years.

"Zhuqing, I'm counting on you. I'll listen to you from now on."

Although Zhu Zhuqing's voice remained cold, Zhu Zhuyun discerned another piece of good news: Zhu Zhuqing meant that she wasn't entirely opposed to her becoming Dongqing's follower.
