"Then I'll thank you in advance, Brother Dai," Ning Rongrong said with a sweet smile before bidding farewell to the three of them.
"I'll take leave and return to the clan now. I'll ask Father to prepare the gold soul coins, and I'll come find you in Star Luo City."
"Alright, I'll be waiting."
With that, Ning Rongrong left, and the room was once again occupied by only Dai Weisi and the two sisters. As soon as she was gone, Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but remark sourly, "So, how did the lips of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's young lady feel?"
"You know, they actually felt pretty nice," Dai Weisi replied without a hint of shame. "Rongrong's lips were warm and soft, and there was even a faint taste of orange. Probably because she just had some orange juice."
"In short, her lips were absolutely unforgettable—so soft, so tempting—I kind of want to kiss her again, hehe…"
As Dai Weisi spoke, he couldn't suppress the smug grin spreading across his face. Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing's expressions were growing darker by the second.
"Dai Weisi, you… mmph!"
Just as Zhu Zhuyun was about to explode, Dai Weisi made the first move—he kissed her full on the lips, stopping her words cold.
His assertiveness struck right at her weakness, leaving her unable to resist. All she could do was passively enjoy the moment.
After a long while, their lips finally parted. Blushing furiously, Zhu Zhuyun playfully scolded, "Ugh, Dai Weisi, what are you doing~ You can't just go around kissing people like that!"
Dai Weisi didn't answer. Instead, he repeated the trick—only this time, the recipient of the kiss was Zhu Zhuqing. As a man, it was only fair to share the love.
If the elder wife got kissed, the younger one couldn't be left out.
"Mm—mmph!"
The sudden kiss caught Zhu Zhuqing completely off guard. After a symbolic struggle, she too melted into the kiss.
Her cheeks turned bright red, her heart racing like a deer in the woods, utterly overwhelmed with happiness.
"Alright, Brother Dai Weisi, stop kissing me already. I can't even breathe," Zhu Zhuqing said breathlessly after finally wriggling free from his grasp.
Dai Weisi gave a devilish smile and said in the tone of a shameless playboy, "I just wanted to let you both know—no matter how many women I get involved with in the future, you'll always be my wives. I'll never leave you."
"Oh? So we're not enough for you, and now you want a whole harem, huh?"
"Heh, only if you're okay with it. After all, I'm the crown prince now. Naturally, the size of my harem should rival Han Xin's army!"
"Han Xin's army?" Zhu Zhuyun blinked in confusion. "What's that supposed to mean? And who's Han Xin?"
"More the better, obviously!"
"You! You scoundrel!"
"Oh? You think that was scoundrel behavior? Then let me show you what real scoundrels do!"
"Eeeek!"
Zhu Zhuyun yelped as Dai Weisi swept her up in his arms. Zhu Zhuqing, recognizing what was about to happen, quickly left the room. What followed was a little too intense for her taste.
After the passion had subsided, Zhu Zhuyun fell asleep with a contented smile on her face. In her heart, she whispered: Dai Weisi, as long as you stay by my side, I don't care how many women you have…
As if sensing her thoughts, Dai Weisi leaned over and gently kissed her forehead.
It was a quiet night—and everything that needed to be said had already been said.
Early the next morning, Tang Yuehua arrived at the inn and found Dai Weisi. Her teaching duties were complete, and she was ready to head for the Clear Sky Sect.
When Li Hu and Lin Qiuyang learned that Dai Weisi intended to form an alliance with the Clear Sky Sect, they grew visibly excited. If Star Luo Empire truly allied with such a powerful force, they might even stand a chance against Spirit Hall, despite its many experts.
Once Tang Yuehua arrived, Dai Weisi rented several high-end carriages, and together they left Heaven Dou City en route to the Clear Sky Sect.
But not long after they departed, a black-robed man quietly emerged from a shadowy corner and slipped away—heading straight to Spirit Hall's temple in Heaven Dou City.
"Archbishop, our people have sent word. The Star Luo Prince Dai Weisi has left Heaven Dou City, destination unknown!"
"Excellent! I've finally been given my chance!"
A sinister, twisted smile crept across Salas's aged face. He immediately ordered, "Have our men disguise themselves as Heaven Dou soul masters. I want them to intercept Dai Weisi. Kill him at all costs. And make sure it looks like the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire was behind it. Understood?"
Salas chuckled darkly. Ever since Qian Renxue reported Dai Weisi's presence in Heaven Dou City to Bibi Dong, she had made an immediate decision—Dai Weisi must be eliminated. To that end, she had dispatched both Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to assist Salas in this secret mission.
Salas was already aware of the friction between Dai Weisi and the fourth prince, Xue Beng. That gave him the perfect opportunity to execute a two-pronged strategy.
First, assassinate Dai Weisi. Then, pin the blame on Xue Beng.
This would surely infuriate the Star Luo Empire, possibly even provoke them into declaring war on the Heaven Dou Empire. And if the two great empires went to war, Spirit Hall could sit back and reap the rewards.
Perfect.
"But Archbishop, Tang Yuehua, the mistress of Moon Pavilion, is traveling with Dai Weisi…"
"Tang Yuehua?"
Salas frowned. He hadn't expected her to be traveling with Dai Weisi. Of course, Spirit Hall's intelligence network was vast—he already knew who she was. He sneered.
"Hmph. We used to turn a blind eye to her because we didn't want to push the Clear Sky Sect too far. But now? The sect is no longer a threat. Our real enemy is the Star Luo Empire. Even if it means angering the Clear Sky Sect, we must erase Dai Weisi from existence!"
"Go now. Be clean. Leave no witnesses—Tang Yuehua included!"
"Yes, Archbishop!"
The black-clad assassin vanished into the shadows. Once again, the hall was silent, save for Salas himself.
He turned slowly and used soul power to transmit a message. "I've heard Dai Weisi is accompanied by two powerful Soul Douluos. My men may not be able to handle them. I hope…"
"You don't need to say it," came a chilling voice. "Old Ghost and I will take care of it."
Yue Guan grinned coldly. "That little brat somehow managed to absorb my soul power. I haven't even fully recovered yet. This grudge—I'll make sure the Star Luo Empire pays in full."
After being drained by Anna, Yue Guan had only recovered about sixty to seventy percent of his strength. Full recovery would take several more months. His hatred for Dai Weisi and the Star Luo Empire ran deep.
Relieved, Salas bowed gratefully. "In that case, I'll leave it to the two Elders!"
While Spirit Hall made their move, Dai Weisi and Tang Yuehua had already boarded their luxurious Blackscale carriage and left Heaven Dou City.
The entire journey, Tang Yuehua sat beside Dai Weisi as they discussed how best to persuade Tang Xiao to support their cause.
Also inside the carriage were two purple-clad female soul masters, both nearly thirty years old, standing behind Tang Yuehua.
The two women were both Soul Emperors with avian martial spirits, capable of flight. Their duty was to protect Tang Yuehua—and to help her cross the hanging iron chains over the Clear Sky Mountains.
After all, with a soul power of only level nine and no real physical training, Tang Yuehua would never make it across the cold, swaying bridges alone.
