Chapter 226: Tempting Zhu Zhuyun
Bai Yu scratched his head, a helpless expression on his face. He naturally saw the reluctance in Zhu Zhuyun’s eyes.
So he also understood why Zhu Zhuyun didn't want this Immortal Herb. It wasn't that she didn't want it, but that she thought too much, so she didn't dare to take it.
But for her habit, Bai Yu could only slowly change it. If he forced it, it would only make Zhu Zhuyun outwardly agree with him, but inwardly become even more fake.
“Since I’ve given it to you, you don’t have to refuse. I once said that as long as she is my woman, I will give her a welcome gift. This welcome gift, under normal circumstances, is an Immortal Herb and a cultivation technique.”
“The first one to accept my welcome gift was that girl Zhuqing. If you have any doubts, you can ask her later.”
Hearing Bai Yu’s words, Zhu Zhuyun’s eyes flickered. She leaned her head on Bai Yu’s shoulder and said in a joking tone:
“Tsk, forget it. I wouldn’t dare to claim myself as your woman. With my ruined body, being a lover to His Highness the Saint Child is already me reaching too high.”
“If I shamelessly cling to you and your main wife, who knows where she is, finds out, won’t she tear me to pieces?”
Bai Yu’s mouth twitched. He was a bit speechless. As expected of someone from a Prince Consort background, her way of speaking was truly something else.
She was trying to gain his sympathy while also probing his inner circle to see if there was a mistress, and if so, whether she was easy to get along with.
This level of palace intrigue was truly evident, wasn't it?
“What’s wrong with being a lover? A lover is still my woman, and she won’t lack anything she should have.”
“Besides, if you don’t use this Immortal Herb now, even if you want to use it later, the effect won’t be as good.”
“The earlier this item is used, the better the effect. When you get older, its enhancement effect will become extremely limited.”
“Oh my, a chance to become a Super Douluo! Are you just giving it up like that?”
Bai Yu looked at Zhu Zhuyun with a smile, his tone teasing. He didn’t believe for a second that this woman could resist the temptation of a Super Douluo!
Zhu Zhuyun indeed found it hard to refuse. She was breathing rapidly as she looked at the stone box, her eyes filled with desire.
A Super Douluo! The temptation was simply too great for her. After all, as far as she knew, since the establishment of the Zhu family, besides the ancestor who founded the Empire with the first Great Emperor of Star Luo, the Zhu family hadn't even produced a Title Douluo.
Now, the opportunity to become a Super Douluo was right before her eyes. How could she refuse?
Then Zhu Zhuyun looked up and glared at Bai Yu, her eyes full of annoyance.
She had already realized that this scoundrel was trying to tempt her, and it seemed Bai Yu had even guessed her intentions for today.
“Why are you doing this? Also, is there nothing you want to say to me?”
When Bai Yu saw Zhu Zhuyun staring at him with stubborn eyes, even a hint of confusion in them, he curled his lips and slowly said:
“Why so many whys? Just take what your man gives you and that’s it.”
“As for what I want to say to you? There’s nothing much to say, but you need to know that I am your man. If you have trouble, you can come to me. You don’t have to bear it yourself.”
“Also, you can trust your man’s character. Although I have many flaws, I can still say that if people don’t betray me, I won’t betray them.”
After Bai Yu finished speaking, Zhu Zhuyun’s face immediately flushed red. She was now certain that Bai Yu had indeed guessed her thoughts.
This feeling was truly shameful!
Immediately, she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although her little thoughts had been guessed, she wasn’t used and then discarded. He still treated her as his woman, and to be honest, it touched her deeply.
“Since you’ve seen through me, I won’t pretend anymore. However, I’m actually starting to like you a little now. You’re really amazing!”
“Speaking of which, are you really going to give me this Immortal Herb? I can disregard what you said before, but if you say you’re giving it to me now, I won’t refuse!”
Bai Yu looked at Zhu Zhuyun, who was smiling and drawing circles on his chest. He snorted lightly and patted her round buttocks twice.
“Hmph! What do you take me for? Do you think I’d go back on my word? Hurry up and eat the Immortal Herb, then focus on refining it.”
“Ah~, hehe, the Immortal Herb isn’t urgent, and it won’t run away. Has His Highness rested well? Does this servant need to serve you again?”
Zhu Zhuyun’s eyes darted about, and she twisted against Bai Yu, her tone becoming alluring again.
Bai Yu was exasperated. This little vixen didn’t know her place. Instead of honestly absorbing the Immortal Herb, she was provoking him again. How outrageous!
Immediately, Bai Yu exerted force with his arm, flipping Zhu Zhuyun over so that her back was against him.
“Mm-hmm~”
Another hour passed. Bai Yu looked at Zhu Zhuyun, who was sprawled on the bed like cotton, and secretly curled his lips, saying teasingly:
“Tsk, still showing off now? Before, I was taking it easy on you. Did you really think you were that great? Soft now, aren’t you?”
Hearing Bai Yu’s words, Zhu Zhuyun rolled her eyes but didn’t dare to speak. An honest person doesn’t beat around the bush; she was indeed soft!
Then Bai Yu summoned his Spirit and used his fifth Spirit Ability on Zhu Zhuyun.
“Recover first. Later, eat the Immortal Herb. This time, don’t play any tricks, or I’ll make sure you can’t get up all day tomorrow.”
Zhu Zhuyun shivered and quickly nodded to Bai Yu, indicating that she was now obedient and begged for mercy.
After a while, Zhu Zhuyun, who had recovered some strength, pulled the stone box next to her into her hands and ate the Cinnabar Lotus inside.
Then, she sat up uninhibitedly in front of Bai Yu and began to refine and absorb it.
Bai Yu’s eyelids twitched. He thought to himself, how did this woman become more and more mischievous after her little thoughts were exposed?
He had already told her not to play such tricks, but she didn’t listen and was still showing off! If she weren’t absorbing the Immortal Herb, he would definitely teach her a lesson and make her behave.
Then Bai Yu closed his eyes and turned his head to the other side, out of sight, out of mind.
Time slowly passed. After about half an hour, as a spirit power fluctuation appeared on Zhu Zhuyun’s body, her eyes slowly opened.
“I seem to have reached Level 50? This Immortal Herb is truly amazing, unbelievable!”
“My His Highness the Saint Child, how should I thank you?”
After refining the Immortal Herb, Zhu Zhuyun first muttered to herself in disbelief. When she came back to her senses, she immediately pounced on Bai Yu, looking at him with alluring eyes.
Bai Yu’s mouth twitched. This woman truly didn’t learn from her mistakes!
However, he also knew that this was because Zhu Zhuyun was feeling somewhat insecure, which caused this situation. After all, all she had now was her body.
Then Bai Yu patted her waist and said softly:
“Alright, stop messing around. Get up first, and I’ll find you a spirit ring. After you finish absorbing the spirit ring, I’ll let you repay me for a whole night.”
