Chapter 237: Arrival at Star Luo City, Heading Straight for the Netherworld Spirit Cat Clan
Zhu Zhuqing only felt immense torment and confusion.
Zhu Zhuqing, being a Soul Douluo above level 80, already had extraordinary hearing. Since the soundproofing here was poor, she could clearly hear the details of Ye Wen and Shui Binger using the martial soul fusion technique.
"Really... they... sigh, how can I..." Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed as her mind became restless, unable to stop herself from imagining, from filling in the details in her mind.
She repeatedly turned the thoughts over, but could never calm down.
Meanwhile, the martial soul fusion technique was finally nearing its end.
Ye Wen channeled all of his soul power into this moment, rapidly launching an energy impact with Shui Binger.
"Ye Wen!!"
"Binger!!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Ahhh!!" Both of them screamed at the same time.
In the next second!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, Ye Wen's terrifying backlash force was completely released, absorbed and enveloped by Shui Binger's soul power, with not a trace escaping.
Ye Wen gently stroked Shui Binger's cheek, feeling a bit apologetic because he knew her soul power had already been drained and her strength had reached its limit. "Thank you, Binger."
Shui Binger's face was a little pale. "It's okay, it wasn't hard, Ye Wen."
The two of them peacefully lay together, with Shui Binger obediently snuggling into Ye Wen's embrace. After a while, Shui Binger suddenly asked, "Ye Wen."
"Mm? What's wrong, Binger?"
"Do you think, aside from me, you will have other women in your life?"
Ye Wen fell silent for a moment and thought for a while. He finally decided to ask, seriously turning the question back to her. "Binger, if, aside from you, I have other women, would you accept it?"
Shui Binger said, "You mean Zhu Zhuqing, right?"
Ye Wen felt a little uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, he still didn't hide the truth and nodded, "Mm."
In fact, Ye Wen had long had feelings for Zhu Zhuqing. From the moment they met at age 12, to all these years spent together, their daily interactions had naturally built up emotional attachment.
Ye Wen had never thought about how many women he wanted to have or how many wives he needed. He only knew that if he liked someone, he would go for it and never betray his own heart.
But because of his concerns for Shui Binger, and knowing that Zhu Zhuqing had always been bound by the unfinished marriage contract, he had been waiting for Zhu Zhuqing to resolve the matter herself.
So, it had come to this point.
"Binger, I don't want to hide anything from you. I just want to ask your opinion, if—"
"Shh!"
Shui Binger placed her finger on Ye Wen's lips, interrupting him. "I accept."
"Binger, you..." Ye Wen was a bit surprised.
Shui Binger shook her head and smiled. "Ye Wen, you think I couldn't tell? Actually, I've known for a long time, and I understand Zhu Zhuqing's feelings for you. So, I've thought about it, hesitated, struggled, and naturally, I've already made up my mind."
"So, I am willing to accept that there is another Zhu Zhuqing between us."
"I'm happy that you chose to be honest with me, to tell me in advance. To me, as long as you continue to be good to me, as long as your heart doesn't change, that's enough."
"Binger, don't worry, my heart for you will never change. We'll always be like this." Ye Wen's heart warmed, and he gently kissed Shui Binger's forehead.
In Ye Wen's heart, a certain matter had finally been settled.
As they talked, Shui Binger eventually fell asleep. Ye Wen quietly stayed by her side, gazing at the beauty in her sleep, and after a while, he too fell asleep.
However, Zhu Zhuqing did not sleep the entire night. Although she hadn't heard the conversation between Ye Wen and Shui Binger, the sounds from earlier kept her awake, and she couldn't fall asleep.
The next morning.
As the sunlight slowly shone into the room, Ye Wen and Shui Binger had already woken up. The two of them got up, washed their faces and brushed their teeth, then left the room to call for Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing had already woken up and prepared everything. When she heard someone knocking on the door, she stepped out.
But seeing Ye Wen and Shui Binger, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but remember what had happened the previous night. Her face turned slightly red, and she felt a bit awkward. To ease her discomfort, Zhu Zhuqing quickly said, "Let's go."
"Mm!"
The three of them set off, had breakfast in the hotel restaurant, and then immediately continued their journey to Star Luo City.
In the following days, everything seemed normal, but it was clear that the dynamics between the three had subtly changed.
After several days, Ye Wen, Zhu Zhuqing, and Shui Binger finally arrived at Star Luo City.
The three of them stood not far from the city gates, looking at the bustling and massive Star Luo City. They exchanged glances before slipping into the city unnoticed by the guards.
Although Ye Wen and Zhu Zhuqing might not be recognized elsewhere, in the capital of the empire, many people would surely recognize their faces.
If they were discovered so quickly, it would cause chaos, so they chose to sneak in.
"Star Luo City, I'm finally back, but I never imagined that I would return with such a purpose and identity," Zhu Zhuqing said, looking at the familiar streets in front of her, her heart flashing with childhood memories.
This was where she had grown up!
But Zhu Zhuqing didn't dwell on the memories for too long. She quickly focused and headed straight for the Netherworld Spirit Cat Clan, the Zhu family.
"Go ahead, Zhuqing. We'll watch you from the sidelines as you complete what you've long wanted to do," Ye Wen said.
At that moment, the three of them were standing before the Zhu family's gates.
"Thank you," Zhu Zhuqing nodded, her figure flashing as she entered the Zhu family.
"Ye Wen, are you really okay with letting Zhu Zhuqing face this alone? The Zhu family is one of the top noble families in Star Luo Empire, and she still has to go into the palace to face the Dai family," Shui Binger said with some concern.
Ye Wen smiled faintly. "Don't worry. Zhu Zhuqing is already a level 85 Soul Douluo. Plus, she's been with us every day, so her combat ability, battle awareness, spiritual strength, and physical strength are far beyond those of an average Soul Douluo."
"Even someone at level 93, a Title Douluo, might not be able to defeat her."
"If they want to leave behind a combat force equivalent to a 93-level Soul Master, it's not so easy, unless there's a 95-level Title Douluo in this city."
"Watch, she'll handle it on her own."
"Okay... alright."
Although Ye Wen said that, he would still keep a close watch. If anything unexpected happened, he would step in.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing had already swiftly and nimbly infiltrated the core area of the Zhu family.
