She thought that no matter how powerful Ye Qiu was, he could only give Zhu Zhuqing a soul ring of a little over ten thousand years.
Unexpectedly, it was thirty thousand years!
You must know, the limit a Soul Emperor can absorb is only twenty thousand years!
"Are you kidding me?"
"Does Ye Qiu have any reason to lie to you?" Zhu Zhuqing glanced at her.
"Then, sister, what's your current cultivation level?"
"Level 44 Soul Master!"
Zhu Zhuqing said calmly, adding food to Ye Qiu's plate.
This was all thanks to Ye Qiu's help.
Zhu Zhuyun was stunned for a moment. After a
long while, she gave a bitter smile.
"It seems you really did find a good man, sister."
"Ah ha...so-so."
Ye Qiu chuckled dryly, only saying it wasn't good, just a bit of that damned sense of responsibility
. Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes at Ye Qiu, not refuting him.
A slight smile also played on her lips.
She was naturally happy that Ye Qiu felt indebted to her.
At least it proved that she still held weight in his heart, that he would often think of her, and even limited compensation was enough to satisfy her.
Looking at the young couple before her, their expressions differed.
Ye Qiu's face was filled with guilt and love, while his sister's was full of satisfaction and joy.
Even without knowing the specifics of what had happened between them, Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but laugh at their contrasting expressions.
She teased, "Little Qiu, you're really interesting."
Zhu Zhuqing immediately became wary, giving her a cold look.
Zhu Zhuyun didn't care.
Looking at the food before her, her appetite surged.
Zhu Zhuyun hadn't believed Zhu Zhuqing's offer of compensation.
She had only made that condition to get rid of her.
Unexpectedly,
she had now truly given her a great gift.
Even without the Snow Lotus, reaching the Soul Sect realm later was a bit delayed,
but the fourth ring after 30,000 years could definitely make up for the time she had spent.
...
After a harmonious lunch,
they agreed to start hunting souls early the next morning.
Ye Qiu then left the room.
He was currently taking a nap in room number two.
As Zhu Zhuqing was about to leave with him, Zhu Zhuyun stopped her.
The two women were talking in room number three.
"What do you want?" Zhu Zhuqing asked, as coldly as ever.
"My dear sister, there's no need for you to be so hostile towards your older sister now, is there?"
Zhu Zhuyun waved her hand helplessly.
"I have some good news for you!"
"Good news? What good news?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at her curiously.
"It's related to your engagement." Zhu Zhuyun said with a smile, "The news that Dai Mubai, that good-for-nothing, has been deposed has already reached Xingluo. The throne is settled, and you no longer need to bear that so-called engagement!"
"Really?!" Zhu Zhuqing's expression brightened. "What did they say at home?"
"That good-for-nothing is already beyond saving, what else can they say?"
"He was lucky to escape with his life!"
"The current Davis is different. Once you face him, it's a certain death!"
Zhu Zhuyun said slowly, but when she mentioned Davis, a struggle and solemnity flashed in her eyes.
"Is there a problem with Davis?" Zhu Zhuqing asked, puzzled.
"Hmm," Zhu Zhuyun's eyes dimmed, and she pondered for a moment.
She said in a deep voice, "After you left for Soto City where Dai Mubai was, and I hadn't agreed to cultivate the Netherworld White Tiger with him,"
"he has already accepted the olive branch offered by those Fallen Ones!"
"Now he's become very strong! At least a Soul King!"
"A Soul King?! How could it be so fast?" Zhu Zhuqing was also shocked. Such a rapid improvement was truly bizarre!
He should have been at a similar level to her sister!
"How would I know?" Zhu Zhuyun rolled her eyes at her.
Davis had already started to get anxious when Zhu Zhuqing returned with the second purple ring.
And Zhu Zhuyun, who was about to relent and cooperate with him, completely broke off relations with Davis after Zhu Zhuqing's assassination attempt.
Zhu Zhuqing's heart, which had just settled, jumped again.

"Then, sister, what about him...?"
"If there's really no other way, I'll just have to give in to him." Zhu Zhuyun's face was full of bitterness, but seeing the concern on Zhu Zhuqing's face, she smiled with relief.
"However, if we can become strong enough, there will naturally be a chance to get rid of him. Zhuqing, you must become stronger to help your sister escape this fate!"
"Hmph! I won't need you to tell me, I'll become stronger too!" Zhu Zhuqing snorted coldly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable looking at her smiling face.
But her half-joking words were also heard by Zhu Zhuqing.
"That's good!"
Zhu Zhuyun nodded with a smile.
In fact, she hoped that after Zhu Zhuqing became stronger, she could not only change the fate of the two sisters.
The two sisters were just a microcosm of the lives of the legitimate women of the Zhu family for generations.
The same helplessness, no choice, and mutual destruction!
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Zhu Zhuqing got up, wanting to tell Ye Qiu about this.
"Zhuqing!"
As she reached the door, Zhu Zhuyun suddenly called out to her.
"What are you doing?!"
Zhu Zhuqing had just turned around when the big and little cats hugged each other.
It was absolutely dazzling and breathtaking.
Unfortunately, no one witnessed this scene that stirred the imagination.
Zhu Zhuyun hugged her younger sister tightly, gently nuzzling her cheek:
"Zhuqing, I'm so sorry for all these years."
"Congratulations on getting what you wanted!"
"My dear sister."
...
Click!
Zhu Zhuqing walked out the door, still somewhat dazed.
Zhu Zhuyun's apology, her reddened eyes—everything seemed so unreal!
Her own experiences over the years flickered in her mind.
She entered Ye Qiu's room in a daze.
Hearing the sound,
Ye Qiu, who was lying on the bed, immediately got up.
"Zhuqing? What's wrong?"
"Did your sister bully you again?!"
Ye Qiu frowned, looking at the somewhat dazed Zhu Zhuqing, and quickly walked over.
"No, she didn't bully me,"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Qiu, quickly rushed forward, and hugged him tightly.
"Then why?"
Ye Qiu embraced her soft body, his face full of confusion.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to hug you,"
Zhu Zhuqing nestled in Ye Qiu's arms, trying to pull him closer.
She was a little scared; was this all an act
?
Ye Qiu, though doubtful, readily complied.
He lifted Zhu Zhuqing and sat her on the bed, holding her close without saying much.
After a while,
Zhu Zhuqing's body seemed to tremble slightly, and her clothes began to dampen.
Ye Qiu could only hold her tightly, comforting her,
as if she wanted to cry out all her past grievances.
Zhu Zhuqing, who had always forced herself to be strong, finally let go, completely bidding farewell to the past.
...
A long time passed.
It was already quite late.
Zhu Zhuqing had almost recovered.
"How are you? Feeling much better?" Ye Qiu healed her swollen eyes and wiped away the tear stains on her face.
"Yes, much better." Zhu Zhuqing quietly leaned against Ye Qiu's chest, looking at his damp chest, her pretty face flushed.
"Then tell me what you two talked about."
Ye Qiu chuckled, dried his clothes, and lay down face-to-face with Zhu Zhuqing in his arms.
"Mm."
"My sister told me..."
Over the next while, Zhu Zhuqing told Ye Qiu everything about her becoming a free woman, Davis, and so on.
Zhu Zhuyun didn't send anyone to call her for dinner.
She probably knew her sister was in a bad mood.
