Dai Mubai still nodded, but this time he didn't make Yang Tian guess, instead he said, "You and Zhuqing, I don't object. After all, I don't have true feelings for her; it's just a structure built on a marriage contract.
But he still has a marriage contract with me, and you should have guessed my identity."
"So?"
"I saw hope, the hope of fighting against fate. Zhuqing has already grasped this hope, or rather, you have already delivered it into her hands.
The Star Luo imperial family adheres to the law of the jungle, valuing strength and combat, and they are very concerned about their reputation. When they learn that you and Zhu Zhuqing are together, they will send people to target you.
And I, before I defeat my elder brother, cannot even control my own marriage.
So, Yang Tian, no matter for what reason, I hope you can help me this once, help me, and help yourself. Once I defeat my elder brother, I will dissolve my marriage contract with Zhu Zhuqing. At that time, you can be together legitimately.
Even Zhuqing will receive her family's blessing." Dai Mubai clenched his fists, his face bitter. Born into such a family, all he could do was use every method to survive. Only by living could there be hope.
Yang Tian's expression was calm, then he took out a somewhat old paper voucher.
Dai Mubai's eyes narrowed, then he opened the voucher, and then he froze. After a long while, white light pulsed in his palm, and the paper voucher turned to ashes.
"I didn't expect you to have such great power. Yang Tian, I'm becoming more and more curious about you.
This is good too. Everything started because of me, and it should also end with me.
I bless you both."
Dai Mubai got up and left. What he had just destroyed was the marriage contract held by the Star Luo imperial family.
Watching Dai Mubai's departing back, Yang Tian's lips curved into a slight smile. Just as Dai Mubai pushed open the door to leave the training room, Yang Tian suddenly spoke: "Don't forget, tomorrow night, Shrek Seven Devils."
Dai Mubai's hand, which was pushing the door, trembled slightly. He turned his head to look at Yang Tian, then nodded heavily, murmuring, "Thank you."
After Dai Mubai left, Yang Tian stretched, then let the cleaner tidy up the lounge area before heading upstairs.
Passing by Zhu Zhuqing's room, Yang Tian raised his hand to knock, but before he could, he realized that the door wasn't closed at all.
That easily overlooked gap indicated that the door's latch hadn't sprung back. Without hesitation, Yang Tian pushed the door open and entered.
Inside, Zhu Zhuqing had already changed into a set of pajamas and was sitting on the sofa with her knees hugged. Seeing Yang Tian push the door open and enter, Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed, then she pretended to be idle, fiddling with the hem of her pajamas.
Closing the door behind him, Yang Tian could clearly see Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body tremble.
He walked over and pulled Zhu Zhuqing's soft, delicate body into his arms. Zhu Zhuqing was like a docile kitten, neither cooperating nor resisting.
"I went to Star Luo and met your father and the Star Luo Emperor."
Yang Tian said directly. Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Yang Tian with disbelief in her beautiful eyes. Yang Tian smiled and took out another marriage contract: "The one from Star Luo was personally destroyed by Dai Mubai. This one is the one your father kept. It's yours."
Zhu Zhuqing nervously opened the marriage contract, and after repeated verification, tears could no longer be held back and rolled down her clear eyes.
Star power surged, and Zhu Zhuqing unhesitatingly destroyed the marriage contract, then threw herself into Yang Tian's embrace, sobbing muffledly.
After a while, Yang Tian felt his chest was thoroughly soaked, and then he began to comfort her: "Zhuqing, the marriage contract is destroyed, and your engagement is dissolved. You should be happy, why are you still crying?"
Zhu Zhuqing ignored him, hugging Yang Tian tightly. Yang Tian, helpless, had to use his trump card, saying, "Zhuqing, you couldn't possibly be, reluctant to let go of this engagement, could you?"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing looked up, tears shimmering in her beautiful eyes. She stared at Yang Tian unblinkingly, then suddenly leaned forward and offered a passionate kiss.
This kiss was like liquefied natural gas meeting an open flame, instantly igniting Yang Tian's primal instincts.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for increasing achievement level * 1.
Reward: One legendary theft voucher."
This night was destined to be a sleepless one.
Yang Tian gently caressed Zhu Zhuqing's exhausted, pretty face, slowly carried her to the bathroom to wash away the sweat, and changed to clean bedsheets before they embraced and slept.
At this time, the sky outside was already tinged with the white of dawn.
No one disturbed them throughout the day. Yang Tian didn't emerge from the room until evening, dressed in training clothes. Below, Tang San and the others had already gathered.
Yang Tian came and sat on the sofa, noticing everyone looking at him with strange expressions.
Yang Tian was puzzled until Ning Rongrong spoke: "You, you've been in... Zhuqing's room this whole time?"
Yang Tian was startled, then nodded, stating matter-of-factly: "Zhuqing is my girlfriend, you wouldn't still not know that, would you?"
"Ooh~"
Everyone let out a chorus of wolf-howls. Zhu Zhuqing hadn't left her room until now, which implied the obvious. However, none of them noticed that Ning Rongrong had unconsciously retreated to a corner, her expression somewhat complex.
Xiao Wu, next to Ning Rongrong, showed no particular emotion, as if she had already anticipated all of this. Yet, looking at Yang Tian, Xiao Wu still felt a faint heartache…
