Chapter 81: Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena's Asura Field
"A letter for me?"
Zhu Zhuqing was slightly stunned, her face showing confusion.
Ever since she came to the Martial Soul Hall, her family had never proactively contacted her.
Even when she occasionally wrote to her parents to wish them a happy birthday out of filial piety, her letters seemed to disappear without a trace, lost without any news.
Could it be a letter from my sister?
During her years studying at the Martial Soul Hall Academy, Zhu Zhuqing wasn't completely oblivious to the news within her family.
She knew that her sister Zhu Zhuyun and brother-in-law Dai Weisi's influence had grown significantly within the Star Luo Royal Academy, with a rapid increase in supporters both inside and outside the court.
Three years had passed, and now their prestige in the royal family overshadowed other princes.
Unable to guess who the letter was from, Zhu Zhuqing didn't think much of it and simply took the letter from the messenger.
After the messenger left, Zhu Zhuqing opened the envelope, only to find...
Two more envelopes inside.
She flipped through the two envelopes, noticing that the names of the recipients were different.
'To my fiancée, Miss Zhu of the Zhu family, Zhu Zhuqing'
'To my dear sister, Zhu Zhuqing (I suggest you read my letter first~)'
Seeing the two very different salutations on the envelopes, Zhu Zhuqing's calm eyes suddenly stirred with waves of emotion.
The names of the senders of the two letters were on the tip of her tongue.
Dai Mubai!
Zhu Zhuyun!
Especially Dai Mubai!
The fiancé she had hardly met!
How did he know I was here?
Why would he write to me?
Su Yun noticed Zhu Zhuqing's strange reaction and leaned forward, just in time to see the two lines of text.
He also immediately recognized the identity of the sender.
The same questions that Zhu Zhuqing had were also in Su Yun's mind.
How did Dai Mubai's letter get here?
He shouldn't know that Zhu Zhuqing had joined the Martial Soul Hall by now.
However, after carefully pondering the latter half of Zhu Zhuyun's envelope, Su Yun soon realized.
Dai Mubai's letter must have passed through Zhu Zhuyun's hands.
Even the contents of the letter may have already been read by Zhu Zhuyun.
"Since the letter has been delivered, let's open it and see."
Su Yun's voice relaxed Zhu Zhuqing's tense nerves, and she took a deep breath before opening the letter from her sister, Zhu Zhuyun.
Unfolding the pink letter paper, Zhu Zhuqing immediately saw the teasing tone of her sister Zhu Zhuyun.
'Ah, my dear sister, your ex-fiancé sent a letter, and your sister accidentally read it.'
'It seems that after escaping from the family for so long, he is now trying to catch up with his elder brother.'
'Do you remember the ceremony when we were kids?'
'Now that boy needs you by his side for his cultivation.'
'Our Zhu-Dai family's ceremony can connect Martial Souls, you know that.'
'Practicing together is more effective.'
'But sometimes, for better cultivation, we need to have some close communication between us~.'
Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks turned red at this sentence, and she spat softly.
Three years ago, when she was still at home, her room was only separated by a wall from her sister Zhu Zhuyun's room.
On several nights, she could hear the continuous sounds from her sister and brother-in-law's room, keeping her awake at times.
However, after spitting, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze towards the letter from Dai Mubai turned gradually cold.
Zhu Zhuqing was not a fool.
The meaning of her sister's words was all too clear.
Could it be that her fiancé, whom she had barely met, wrote to her after so long with the purpose of using her body for cultivation?
No way!
Zhu Zhuqing then looked at the end of the letter written by her sister.
'For the future of my dear sister, I have specially sent a spy to find out the current living situation of Dai Family's Second Prince.'
'After reading it, don't be angry, my sister~'
'Love you, your sister~ (`) heart'
Without any pause, Zhu Zhuqing continued to read the letter.
Su Yun also watched alongside.
This reading surprised Su Yun.
'Dai Mubai apprentices under 'Master' Yu Xiaogang.'
'Dai Mubai and Shrek Academy's Dean's disciple Ma Hongjun went to the Rose Hotel on X year X month X day, accompanied by twins.'
"On X Year, X Month, X Day, 'Master' Yu Xiaogang accompanied Ma Hongjun to the Rose Hotel, each with a different woman, and entered separate rooms. They only returned to Shrek Academy the next morning."
"..."
Almost every detail of the events within the past three months was meticulously recorded by the spies sent by Zhu Zhuyun to the Star Luo Empire.
With each passing moment, Zhu Zhuqing's expression grew colder.
Then, she opened the letter that Dai Mubai had written to her.
As she read through it, she tore the envelope into pieces!
Just as she suspected.
The content of the letter Dai Mubai wrote to her was about going to that Shrek Academy to cultivate together.
He even vaguely mentioned the possibility of cultivating together.
Hmph!
What a load of nonsense about cultivating together.
It was just an excuse to deceive her and get her body!
Facing a man who frequently went to find that woman with his teacher and classmates, Zhu Zhuqing felt disgusted just thinking about it.
She wished she could take a pair of scissors and make that bastard and his despicable teacher understand what it meant to have no integrity!
"Alright, don't be angry. It's not worth compromising your health for someone like him." Su Yun embraced Zhu Zhuqing and comforted her.
Zhu Zhuqing nestled in Su Yun's embrace, and her complexion improved.
"Su Yun, I never expected that after leaving the clan for such a short time, he would become this kind of person."
"Not only does he fool around with those women every day, but he even does it with his teacher and classmates."
"I used to think that someone like him could help me defeat the rules of the clan."
"Now, thinking about it, it's really laughable. If it weren't for meeting you, Su Yun, I probably would have died under the clan's blade without any understanding."
Zhu Zhuqing's face turned gloomy, with even a hint of anger.
As a descendant of a prominent clan, how could she not be aware of the sordid affairs between men and women within the clan?
Intermarriage within the prominent clan, men keeping mistresses, women keeping lovers - she was used to it.
But she was not that kind of person.
She believed that men could be promiscuous, but not vulgar.
Encountering someone like Dai Mubai, who, at such a young age, casually seduced women and even involved his teacher and classmates, was truly a first for her.
In short: Disgusting!
"A person like him is not worth your anger. It's not a good look for a girl to be angry," Su Yun said, gently stroking Zhu Zhuqing's hair, and chuckled.
"Su Yun, brother..."
Zhu Zhuqing looked up, gazing at Su Yun's face, feeling the warmth emanating from him, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
Their relationship had not developed overnight but had gradually grown over the past three years.
Like simmering water with a cat.
From friends to something more, but not yet lovers.
The affection between the two had naturally blossomed.
However, their relationship had always remained at the stage of embracing.
They had not yet taken it further.
With her nimble cat-like eyes watery and turning, Zhu Zhuqing stared at Su Yun's lips, her throat involuntarily rolling.
She planned to take Su Yun's first kiss now, so as not to give Senior Sister Nana a chance.
As a woman and a cat martial soul, Zhu Zhuqing could sense that Senior Sister Huli had recently developed some feelings for Su Yun.
Although Senior Sister Nana had known Su Yun longer, Zhu Zhuqing considered herself to be Su Yun's woman.
Fiancée.
Senior Sister.
Which relationship was closer was clear at a glance.
To put it in old terms:
Eighty thousand versus sixty thousand, the advantage is mine!
However, to prevent Senior Sister Nana from trying to take advantage in the future, Zhu Zhuqing planned to make her move now... Oops, slip of the tongue.
Zhu Zhuqing tiptoed slightly, intending to leave a mark of a young girl's tenderness on Su Yun's lips, when suddenly, a light cough sounded in her ear, causing her whole body to stiffen.
"Cough... What is Zhuqing doing?" Hu Liena's seductive voice floated over.
Zhu Zhuqing's ears turned red, and she quickly struggled out of Su Yun's embrace, feeling as if she had been caught cheating during an exam. In a fluster, she stammered, "N-nothing."
Damn it!
"Sister Nana couldn't have picked a worse time to arrive.
She must have been waiting for the right moment all along.
Before Zhu Zhuqing could think further, Hu Liena, wrapped in a fragrant breeze, closed the distance with Su Yun and wrapped her arms around his, asking affectionately, "Little Su Yun, did you miss your sister?"
"Missed you to death, sister," Su Yun replied.
Hu Liena's voice, like a siren's song, echoed in Su Yun's ears.
What is a seductive voice?
This is a seductive voice.
Despite having been acquainted for many years, facing Hu Liena's Tianhu Martial Soul's innate and trained charm was still a challenge.
If not for A Yin inside Su Yun keeping guard, he might have found it difficult to control himself.
A Yin, inside Su Yun, watched the movements of both Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing.
Having experienced love herself, she could easily discern the feelings the two girls had for Su Yun.
Of course, it must be said, her little Su Yun was indeed a catch.
Handsome, well-built, talented, and gentle...
If she had a chance to start over, she might fall for him too.
"Of course, I've been thinking about you, sister."
"Besides sleeping and cultivating, I'm always thinking of you," Su Yun said, knowing exactly how to make Hu Liena happy with just a few words.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing's temper flared up.
What did Brother Su Yun mean by that?
She immediately hugged Su Yun's other arm, saying petulantly, "Brother Su Yun, are you thinking of Sister Nana even when you're in bed with me?"
Before Su Yun could respond, Hu Liena suddenly looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a meaningful smile, saying, "Sister Zhuqing, I've warned you before, you're not yet my little brother Su Yun's girlfriend."
"It's indecent to casually get into a man's bed."
Su Yun didn't dare to speak and just sniffed...
Hmm, the smell of gunpowder.
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing didn't change her expression, blinked, and smiled, "Sister Nana, I am Brother Su Yun's fiancée, what's wrong with a husband and wife sharing a bed?"
"Is that so?"
Hu Liena, with her fox-like, narrow eyes slightly squinting, chuckled lightly and said, "How come I remember our little Su Yun saying that he claimed to be your fiancé only to save you at that time?"
"Oh, right."
"There can't be a fiancée who has never even kissed her fiancé, right?"
"Just now, I saw a sneaky cat trying to steal a kiss from our little Su Yun. Zhuqing, did you see where that cat went?"
With these words, Hu Liena feigned looking around, causing Zhu Zhuqing's face to turn red again.
Her little fists clenched tightly.
She felt like punching this fox-like senior sister right in the face.
Faced with the older and more cunning Hu Liena, Zhu Zhuqing, a novice and somewhat shy, was no match for her.
She was completely outplayed by Hu Liena.
Seeing Hu Liena gaining the upper hand, Su Yun quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Alright, alright, sister, stop teasing Zhuqing."
Hu Liena, in a teasing tone, said, "Oh, our little Su Yun really knows how to care for others."
"Ah, it's true what they say about forgetting old loves for new ones."
"It seems I'm destined to be alone in this life."
Saying this, Hu Liena even pretended to be sad, wiping imaginary tears from her eyes.
Seeing Hu Liena's act, Su Yun chuckled and said, "Don't worry, sister, if no one wants you, you can come to me."
"I've always kept the position of my fourth wife open for you."
"Get lost."
Hu Liena, reminded again of Su Yun's words from three years ago, first froze, then playfully punched him.
"Thinking of marrying four wives, are you not afraid of making your little cat jealous?"
Saying this, Hu Liena's smile turned playful as she glanced at Zhu Zhuqing standing beside Su Yun.
This time, however, she did not see the expected blush on Zhu Zhuqing's face.
Instead, Zhu Zhuqing looked quite calm.
Seeing this, Hu Liena couldn't help but ask, "Zhuqing, aren't you afraid that if our little brother Su Yun finds new love, he will forget his old love?"
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head slightly, looking at Su Yun beside her, and said softly, "I'm not afraid, Sister Nana."
"No matter how many women Brother Su Yun marries in the future, I will support him."
"Even if I have to be the lesser wife, it's okay."
Saying this, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Hu Liena and smiled lightly, "If the official wife is you, Sister Nana, I would be even more willing."
"In the future, we can serve Brother Su Yun together."
Whoosh! Zhu Zhuqing's frank words caused even the experienced Hu Liena to blush.
She hadn't expected Zhu Zhuqing, whom she usually manipulated, to turn the tables on her at such a moment.
Serve together.
That meant...
Hu Liena shook her head quickly, the thought of that scenario causing her metaphorical fox tail to stand on end.
Seeing Hu Liena flustered, Zhu Zhuqing chuckled silently.
She was aware of Su Yun's capabilities and naturally understood that with Brother Su Yun's talents.
In the future, when he left the Martial Soul Hall and journeyed across the continent, he would undoubtedly have numerous admirers.
Instead of getting angry, it was better to accept this reality.
Of course, her willingness to be the lesser wife was heartfelt.
However, that would only be the case if someone could truly win her over.
But for now, Zhu Zhuqing felt that no woman could surpass her.
Among all the women she had met, only the Pontiff of the Martial Soul Hall could possibly do so.
But the Pontiff was Brother Su Yun's teacher, so how could she marry her?
Therefore, the position of Su Yun's official wife was destined to be hers.
In summary, the advantage was hers.
