[Ding! Unlocked Zhu Zhuyun's first blood, Reward: Fifty thousand years of cultivation, Angel's Tear.]
Whoa!
Hearing the system prompt, Su Bai was overjoyed.
The rewards were exceptionally generous.
Setting aside the fifty thousand years of cultivation, the Angel's Tear alone was incredible.
According to the system, it granted him the ability to resurrect.
It was truly miraculous.
Having the Angel's Tear meant having a second life.
Moreover, even after using it once, it could be reused after a cooldown period.
Thus, as long as Su Bai was careful, he practically had unlimited resurrection capabilities.
It was beyond extraordinary.
Su Bai was immensely satisfied.
The next morning.
Watching Zhu Zhuyun still asleep, Su Bai felt a twinge of guilt.
It was her first time, and he had really put her through the wringer last night.
The sight of her in those black stockings had driven him wild.
As a result, Zhu Zhuyun was thoroughly exhausted.
She was still fast asleep.
However, Zhu Zhuyun, compared to Zhu Zhuqing, had her unique charm.
Her body was incredibly soft and sensitive, making her quite responsive.
Su Bai had enjoyed last night immensely.
Gazing at the beauty in his arms, Su Bai couldn't resist gently caressing her smooth legs.
Zhu Zhuyun shivered and woke up suddenly.
Seeing Su Bai's intense gaze, she felt a bit frightened.
Sensing her unease, Su Bai awkwardly said, "Zhuyun, you don't have to worry about me. It's just a natural reaction."
Sighing, Zhu Zhuyun resigned herself.
She straddled Su Bai and began to move.
Su Bai closed his eyes in pleasure, enjoying Zhu Zhuyun's initiative.
Once she made up her mind, Zhu Zhuyun committed fully.
Now that she was Su Bai's woman, she was determined to satisfy him, no matter how tired she was.
After last night, she finally understood Zhu Zhuqing's point.
Su Bai's vigor was extraordinary, explaining his need for many women.
One alone could never keep up with him.
But she had to admit, last night was highly pleasurable, even if exhausting.
An hour later.
Zhu Zhuyun finally collapsed in exhaustion.
Su Bai felt a pang of sympathy and decided not to push her further.
He got up to prepare some nourishing soup for her.
Naturally, he added plenty of medicinal herbs to it.
By noon, Zhu Zhuyun had recovered.
She found Zhu Zhuqing.
"Sister, how are you feeling?" Zhu Zhuqing asked with a knowing smile.
Zhu Zhuyun blushed, "You already know, don't you?"
After not returning all night, Zhu Zhuqing had a pretty good idea, especially seeing Zhu Zhuyun's walking posture.
Zhu Zhuqing, experienced herself, couldn't miss the signs.
She was clearly teasing.
Zhu Zhuqing laughed, "Looks like we sisters will be together from now on."
Zhu Zhuyun smiled too.
But thinking of Su Bai, she sighed, "He's just too... vigorous. Last night was intense."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing blushed, recalling her own experiences.
She nodded, "Yes, but you get used to it."
Get used to it?
Zhu Zhuyun's eyes widened.
With Su Bai's stamina, even together, they might not keep up.
But despite this, the thought of escaping her previous life brought a genuine smile to her face.
The sisters exchanged happy smiles.
Meanwhile, Su Bai went to check on Meng Yiran.
He always treated his women equally, so he went to care for her personally.
He lay on Meng Yiran's stomach, listening for the baby's movements, his hand wrapped around her waist.
"Ahh..." Meng Yiran had a constant smile on her face.
She was finally carrying Su Bai's child, the fruit of their love.
She eagerly anticipated becoming a mother.
She wondered if it would be a boy or a girl.
But she knew Su Bai preferred daughters.
She gently massaged him.
Su Bai closed his eyes, enjoying her attentions.
...
Elsewhere.
Dai Weisi had returned to the Star Luo Empire.
Ever since Su Bai had taken Zhu Zhuyun, he had been in a foul mood.
He vented his frustration throughout the journey back.
Zhu Zhuyun was his fiancée, his woman.
But she had been taken away by Su Bai right in front of him.
He felt humiliated.
But due to the difference in strength, he had to endure it.
Upon returning to Star Luo, he immediately sought an audience with his father, the emperor.
He recounted the incident involving Su Bai.
"Father, you can't let him get away with this. He's insulted the Star Luo Empire," Dai Weisi said, carefully framing his argument.
He didn't directly mention his personal grievance but framed it as an affront to the empire's honor.
Royalty must be detached.
Had he made it personal, his father would have scorned him.
But his father saw through him.
Still, he didn't call him out, simply giving Dai Weisi a calm look.
"Why?" Dai Weisi demanded, frustration clear in his tone.
Who wouldn't be enraged if their woman was taken before their eyes?
What puzzled him was his father's stance.
True, his grievance was personal, but Su Bai had indeed insulted Star Luo.
And it wasn't the first time.
He knew Zhu Zhuqing was with Su Bai.
Though Dai Mubai had fled, he had kept tabs on him.
Thus, he knew Zhu Zhuqing's whereabouts.
Seeing Dai Mubai's cowardice, he had withdrawn his men.
Such a coward didn't deserve to be his rival.
But now, karma had come for him.
He finally understood Dai Mubai's frustration.
The emperor of Star Luo was silent for a moment.
Then he spoke, "Do you know about the Dragon Temple?"
"Dragon Temple?" Dai Weisi was puzzled.
Sighing, the emperor looked at his son.
How could he entrust the throne to such a fool?
"The Dragon Temple, a power established by soul beasts. It's said that only those with over eighty thousand years of cultivation can join."
Hearing this, Dai Weisi was stunned.
If that were true, the Dragon Temple was invincible.
But what did that have to do with him?
Suddenly, it clicked.
"Father, are you saying that soul beast is from the Dragon Temple?"
The emperor nodded, "And he is their lord."
Gasp!
Dai Weisi took a deep breath.
No wonder Su Bai was so strong.
He was the lord of the Dragon Temple.
Moreover, he had countless soul beasts with over eighty thousand years of cultivation behind him.
He had no choice but to give up on Zhu Zhuyun.
Even the entire Star Luo Empire couldn't contend with the Dragon Temple.
He had no choice but to swallow his pride.
