Chapter 108 Xiao Wu Returns
She had just finished speaking.
Lin Ye reached out and easily pulled the mischievous rabbit into his arms.
"If you're not a mischievous rabbit, then why were you spying on me and Sister Yan before?"
"I, I... I was..." Xiao Wu stammered, her eyes darting around.
"Hmm!"
Suddenly, she let out a sound that made one's blood boil.
Lin Ye's large hand reached down below...
Ten thousand words are omitted here.
The next day, Lin Ye walked out of Xiao Wu's room feeling refreshed.
It must be said that Xiao Wu's flexibility is very well trained, and the two of them coordinated to create a variety of difficult poses.
Moreover, when it comes to "serious matters," Xiao Wu is quite obedient; she will sit if asked to sit, and she will kneel obediently if asked to kneel.
Lin Ye looked up at the sky, a smug smile on his face.
You little punk, your wife's gone.
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing walked over with cat-like steps, and it is worth mentioning that she was carrying a bundle in her hand.
"Are you... leaving?" Lin Ye knew from her expression that the woman was about to depart.
Although the two lived in the same courtyard these past few days, they rarely saw each other except for three meals a day.
Because Zhu Zhuqing diligently devoted all her free time to cultivation.
Of all the people Lin Ye knew, Zhu Zhuqing was more diligent than anyone else, including himself.
Lin Ye felt it was a pity that Zhu Zhuqing was leaving, but he didn't care too much. After all, she was just a woman.
Zhu Zhuqing was also aware of Lin Ye's feelings for her, as he had made them quite obvious.
But she knew even better that Lin Ye was only interested in her appearance; she was just an insignificant figure in this man's heart.
One more or one less of her makes no difference.
Meeting his gaze, Zhu Zhuqing said, "Staying here won't help you much; I'll just be a useless vase, which isn't what I want."
After a pause, he continued, "Before, I was bound by the rules of the royal family and my clan. In order to survive, I had no choice. Now that Dai Mubai is gone, I am free and can finally live the life I want."
Zhu Zhuqing put it rather tactfully.
To her, Lin Ye and Dai Mubai were no different.
In front of the White Tiger Soul Master, the Netherworld Spirit Cat is naturally inferior and is naturally subordinate.
But if Lin Ye is with her, wouldn't she still be an accessory?
The reason she was unwilling to choose Lin Ye was, as she herself said, that she didn't want to be a useless pretty face.
Zhu Zhuqing's words made Lin Ye look at her with new respect.
In the original novel, many people said that Zhu Zhuqing was trying to escape her fate at the beginning.
Actually, that's not the case. Zhu Zhuqing's goal wasn't to escape her fate in any way.
Her efforts were nothing more than trying to survive under the rules of the royal family and clan; she simply wanted to be the victor within those rules and was just trying to find a way to live.
With her meager strength, she had no right to choose, only the fate of being chosen.
Even so, Zhu Zhuqing at the beginning was still a flesh-and-blood person with independent thoughts.
But things changed later. After being with Dai Mubai, she gradually lost herself and became a tool who could only cooperate with Dai Mubai to perform martial soul fusion techniques.
When Lin Ye was reading the original novel, he felt that the character Zhu Zhuqing in the later part of the story was actually dead.
Thinking about all this, Lin Ye suddenly felt enlightened.
If I keep her by my side, wouldn't that be a way of ruining her?
Oh well, I don't lack women, why should I mess with them?
Lin Ye is still very open-minded.
However, he felt that Zhu Zhuqing had oversimplified things.
"Zhu Zhuqing, have you thought about what your situation will be like when you go back?"
Yes, Dai Mubai is dead, but there are other princes in the royal family.
Putting aside the royal family, wouldn't your family use you for a marriage alliance with other families?
Is this the life you want?
Zhu Zhuqing remained silent upon hearing this.
Among the nobility, it was common practice for women to be used in marriage alliances; it was an established custom.
She had considered this problem, but she still held onto a sliver of hope.
But then Lin Ye said, "Zhu Zhuqing, don't you want to live according to your own wishes? I can help you."
I, and the background behind me, can be your solid support. With our support, you are fully capable of pursuing the lifestyle you desire.
Even your family and royalty wouldn't dare do anything to you.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression shifted slightly. If that was the case, then the rules of the royal family indeed could not restrain her.
Let's take a look at Lin Ye's lineup.
Ice Emperor's strength is comparable to that of a Super Douluo at level 97 to 98.
Xue Di is comparable to a level 99 peerless Douluo, making her the ceiling of combat power in the Douluo Continent.
Lin Ye's own talent is also abnormally strong.
Then there's Dugu Bo, who usually doesn't stand out much. He cultivates poisonous techniques and is capable of delivering a devastating blow to any force.
He can't kill a Title Douluo, but he can kill so many that only a Title Douluo remains on the opposing side.
Given this kind of plastic surgery, what can the Star Luo royal family do to resist? The so-called million-strong army?
Zhu Zhuqing was tempted, but she remained clear-headed and asked, "What do you want?"
She knew that there's no such thing as a free lunch, and Lin Ye must have something in mind; no one helps someone for no reason.
Lin Ye said, "This matter is simple in some ways, but quite difficult in others. I need you to go back and mobilize people to help me search for the 10-year-old soul bone."
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned. If she hadn't misheard, Lin Ye had said 10-year soul bone, not 10-year soul bone.
"You heard me right, it's a 10-year-old soul bone."
After confirming that she hadn't misheard, Zhu Zhuqing was puzzled as to why Lin Ye wanted to find a 10-year-old soul bone.
But given her personality, she wouldn't ask so many "why" questions.
He nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll do my best to help you find one."
Lin Ye nodded in satisfaction, then took out an item from his storage soul tool and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing. "Put more effort into this matter. I won't let you help me for nothing. Here's a nice gift for you."
Zhu Zhuqing took it subconsciously and looked at it closely.
It was a medicinal herb.
A large chrysanthemum, its color a magnificent purple. Strangely, each petal of the chrysanthemum looks fuzzy and exceptionally cute. The entire chrysanthemum is a single, unified flower, yet it emits no fragrance. The central stamen rises more than half a foot above the petals, and the tip of the stamen shimmers with a faint golden light.
Before Zhu Zhuqing could ask any questions, Lin Ye explained, "This thing is called Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. It is a neutral celestial herb. Eating it will circulate your qi in your limbs and open your blood vessels. It can even help you practice Vajra... cough cough, anyway, eating it will be good for you."
Lin Ye stopped abruptly, saying that the indestructible body of Vajra didn't seem quite right for a girl.
However, that's just an exaggeration. The main effect of Qirong Tongtianju (奇茸通天菊) is to enhance physical strength. But that doesn't mean that eating it will turn you into a strongman.
