Chapter 227: All Dirty Tricks
Zhu Zhuyun’s eyes widened. Bai Yu just said he would find her a spirit ring, right?
Immediately, she couldn’t help but glance around, thinking, ‘This isn’t a forest, and we’re still in bed. Where would he find a spirit ring for me?’
“Bai Yu, where is there a spirit ring? Are we going to hunt spirits in the middle of the night?”
“Even if we go out to hunt spirits, there won’t be enough time, will there? I have to go back tomorrow morning, otherwise, I’ll be exposed when the competition starts.”
Bai Yu didn’t respond to Zhu Zhuyun’s words. He turned slightly and picked up his spirit tool, rummaging through it.
“Found it, a ten-thousand-year Ghost Shadow Tiger Soul Convergence Seal. Here, take it. Infuse it with spirit power, and the spirit ring will naturally appear.”
Zhu Zhuyun’s expression was odd as she took a thick iron plate, a bit larger than her palm, and her lips moved slightly.
She wanted to ask Bai Yu what kind of spirit ring this was, and a ten-thousand-year Ghost Shadow Tiger at that. It was probably a ten-thousand-year-old rusty iron plate!
But she thought about it. Bai Yu was a mysterious fellow, with an abundance of good things on him. Maybe this thing could really be used as a spirit ring?
Then, she followed Bai Yu’s instructions and began to infuse spirit power. As the power within the Soul Convergence Seal was drawn out, a dark spirit ring appeared before Zhu Zhuyun’s eyes.
“Ah!? There really is a spirit ring!?”
Zhu Zhuyun’s mouth hung open. She felt a slight itch at the back of her head, unsure if her brain was growing or if she was so stimulated that her cerebellum was shrinking.
Seeing Zhu Zhuyun’s shocked expression, Bai Yu reached out and lightly pinched her roundness, smiling as he said,
“Don’t look anymore. That’s the spirit ring. Just absorb it normally.”
Zhu Zhuyun, caught off guard by Bai Yu’s attack, trembled all over and glared at him with eyes that seemed to drip water.
However, she didn’t bother to tease Bai Yu. Instead, she began absorbing the spirit ring. After all, as Bai Yu said, it wouldn’t be too late to repay him after absorbing the spirit ring.
The speed of absorbing the spirit ring was relatively fast. In about half an hour, Zhu Zhuyun opened her eyes.
Before Bai Yu could even ask what Spirit Ability she had gained, Zhu Zhuyun directly pounced and pressed herself onto Bai Yu.
“Heh heh, Crown Prince, do you have time now for your humble servant to properly repay you?”
Bai Yu looked at the alluring woman who had been seducing him, stopped talking, and directly switched to manual mode.
…
The next day, in the Soul Master Competition arena, Bai Yu sat in the judging panel with a slightly pale face, staring intently at the sky, lost in thought.
“Brother Bai, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why don’t you go back and rest today?”
“I heard that the Pope will be attending today’s finals. I don’t think Brother Bai will be needed here, right?”
‘Xue Qinghe’ looked at Bai Yu with a strange gaze, thinking to herself, ‘This scoundrel definitely went out carousing again last night!’
‘I wonder if he added another sister to her collection. If it weren’t for the risk of exposing my identity, I’d really like to elbow him to death!’
Hearing ‘Xue Qinghe’s’ words, Bai Yu waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.
“It’s nothing. I just didn’t rest well. I’ll recover in a bit.”
Bai Yu recalled what happened last night, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
That woman, Zhu Zhuyun, really had some tricks up her sleeve! After her body couldn’t take it anymore, she actually started playing dirty, using a bunch of outside-the-rules moves on him!
Although from her unpracticed movements, it was clear she was using those methods for the first time, it was precisely because of this that Bai Yu couldn’t stop, leaving him feeling a bit weak.
‘Xue Qinghe’ subtly rolled her eyes, thinking, ‘What a load of nonsense about not resting well. He probably didn’t rest at all, did he?’
‘But to make a brute like Bai Yu so weak, that person last night must have been quite formidable.’
A hint of curiosity arose in ‘Xue Qinghe’s’ heart. She wanted to ask Bai Yu who that person was last night; she wanted to discuss it with them.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t ask now. She would have to wait until after the competition.
While Bai Yu and the other person were talking, the eliminated Star Luo Team also attended today’s competition, but they had changed from participants to spectators.
“Zhuyun, why are you only just returning now? Did you manage to find out any news when you went to your sister’s place last night?”
“Will she help my third brother contend for that position?”
Dai Weisi looked at Zhu Zhuyun, whose eyes were moist and face was flushed like a peach blossom. He felt a dull ache in his head, and it was a bit itchy, as if something was growing there.
But none of that mattered. His only concern now was whether Zhu Zhuqing would help Dai Mubai seize the imperial throne he had long coveted.
That was why he had immediately agreed when Zhu Zhuyun said she wanted to go see Zhu Zhuqing yesterday.
Because he was a bit flustered now. His damned third brother, who knew what fortuitous encounter he had, actually possessed strength comparable to his own.
If Zhu Zhuqing were added to the mix, his chances of winning were truly not very high!
Zhu Zhuyun glanced at Dai Weisi, walked to the empty seat beside him, and sat down. Where Dai Weisi couldn’t see, Zhu Zhuyun’s eyes were filled with mockery.
After the competition ended yesterday, Zhu Zhuyun wanted to see her sister, so she told Dai Weisi she was going to Zhu Zhuqing’s place to inquire about some news.
As expected, Dai Weisi immediately agreed. In his heart, nothing was more important than the throne.
Now that the Third Prince Dai Mubai had the strength to threaten him, Zhu Zhuyun’s initiative to inquire about news was something he couldn’t be more pleased about!
Only Zhu Zhuyun herself hadn’t expected that a simple family visit would lead to so many unexpected events.
Recalling spending the night out carousing yesterday, Zhu Zhuyun’s face felt a bit warm. It was thanks to being a Prince’s Consort for so many years that her acting skills were superb, preventing any flaws from being discovered.
“You know that girl Zhuqing, she’s very stubborn! To get information from her, I could only play the emotional card, so I stayed at her place for a night.”
“But this night wasn’t wasted. I did manage to ask about everything you wanted to know.”
Listening to Zhu Zhuyun’s leisurely tone, Dai Weisi became a little anxious.
“How is it? Will that girl Zhuqing help Dai Mubai or not? Hiss, why are you laughing? Tell me quickly!”
Zhu Zhuyun shifted her body, finding a comfortable position to lean back in her chair, thinking to herself that Bai Yu, that scoundrel, had really worn her out.
Then she glanced at Dai Weisi again, and under the sunlight, she noticed that his long hair seemed to have a faint green tint.
“Pfft… cough, why are you so anxious? I’m so relaxed, can’t you tell the result? Zhuqing naturally won’t help Dai Mubai.”
Dai Weisi breathed a sigh of relief, cursing himself for being too anxious. If there wasn’t good news, how could Zhu Zhuyun be so relaxed?
After all, if he couldn’t become the Crown Prince and inherit the throne, Zhu Zhuyun wouldn’t benefit either.
However, after realizing this, Dai Weisi became even more curious. He then turned to look at Zhu Zhuyun, only to find her staring at the top of his head with a strange look in her eyes.
