Chapter 310: Dugu Feng: Brother Xue, I Have to Add Some Difficulty!
"Really, Brother Feng. If I dare deceive you, let me lose this treasure forever.
Whatever you ask, I will do."
Zhu Zhuyun tilted up her face and planted a kiss on Dugu Feng's lips.
"Not bad. Tonight, show me what you can do," Dugu Feng said evenly.
Joy bloomed on Zhu Zhuyun's face.
"Brother Feng, come with me!"
Her fair skin glowed under the black leather as she pulled Dugu Feng to his feet.
"Brother Feng, let me show you the Netherworld Civet's skills."
Zhu Zhuyun was in high spirits. She would present her perfection to Dugu Feng.
"Oh?"
Dugu Feng gestured for her to perform as she pleased.
She did not stand on ceremony. Her soul power rippled, and the black leather turned to powder.
Only pink close-fitting lingerie remained, with white silk ribbons tied in neat bows.
She moved swiftly.
Her body blurred—another Zhu Zhuyun appeared at her side.
Another blur became four, then sixteen.
Sixteen Zhu Zhuyuns in matching lingerie surrounded Dugu Feng in an instant.
Seeing this strange scene, Dugu Feng understood it at once: Zhu Zhuyun's Nether Shadow Clone.
A soul skill that created clones with some offensive power—only a tenth of the main body's strength. Against experts, they served mainly to harass.
But the next moment shocked Dugu Feng even more.
The shadow clones multiplied again. Each clone spun off nine afterimages.
A total of one hundred and forty-four figures appeared.
They ringed Dugu Feng, each with a different pose and expression.
Seductive, laughing, shy, proud, icy—every look.
Their movements were even more extravagant: dance after dance, graceful beyond compare, displaying Zhu Zhuyun's perfect figure and alluring skin.
After a moment's study, Dugu Feng grasped the essence. The first sixteen were clones that could coexist with the main body briefly.
The second wave were truly shadows—just afterimages.
Because her clones moved too fast, they created a visual effect, as if more than a hundred bodies were dancing.
Extreme speed had woven this dizzying spectacle.
As a Soul Sage, Zhu Zhuyun's strength was not to be underestimated.
She labored to display every seductive charm.
Only after a full quarter-hour did all the figures merge as one. She pounced, toppling Dugu Feng onto the bed.
"Brother Feng, let me…"
Attentively, Zhu Zhuyun began to serve.
Fresh from exertion and still in spirit possession, her body was infinitely supple.
She resolved to give her all.
Dugu Feng's prowess had left a deep impression on her.
This time, she would make him truly take notice.
Moments later, Zhu Zhuyun gasped, "Brother Feng, the noise is too much. Will we be discovered?"
Her answer was an even greater commotion.
Zhu Zhuyun's heart leapt in alarm even as she felt something very different.
Until deep into the night—
At last, all quieted.
"What level is the Star Luo Emperor?" Dugu Feng asked.
Zhu Zhuyun's mind had yet to cool. She recalled, "The Star Luo Emperor's soul power is level ninety-five. In his youth, he stood out among the princes.
Much like you, Brother Feng—he focused only on cultivation and ignored everything else.
As Crown Prince, even the then Crown Princess could not stir his interest.
Thus his cultivation soared. None of his peers could surpass him.
When the previous Emperor died, he had just broken through to Titled Douluo, and he has ruled for more than twenty years!
Before the expedition, he summoned the heads of the great clans and stated his strength outright to overawe the court!"
Level ninety-five—impressive strength.
"If you need it, I can lead the Zhu clan's soul masters to open the gate city at a critical moment and let Heaven Dou's army in.
But how to deal with a powerhouse like the Star Luo Emperor still needs thought!" Zhu Zhuyun bit her lip, ready to risk everything.
To be a traitor earned no favor. If they failed, the Zhu clan would be purged.
She had made a momentous decision.
Dugu Feng gave her a calm look. "No need. On the contrary, I intend to bestow wealth on the Zhu clan.
I can tell you this: for at least the next year, Xue Qinghe has no intention of a decisive battle. His reign is still new. The purpose of mustering a vast army is to mobilize the whole nation for reform.
At the same time, in small-scale fights, he will gradually consolidate his rule.
A year from now, when he fully controls the army and the soul master world, he will seek a decision.
When the time comes, I will give you all the information.
You will leak it to the Star Luo Emperor at the critical moment, prompting him to strike and deal Xue Qinghe's core forces a heavy blow!"
Dugu Feng spoke in a low, ghostly tone.
Now that he knew the Star Luo Emperor was level ninety-five, he was at ease. He could make use of this well.
Zhu Zhuyun was dumbfounded.
According to royal intelligence, aren't you and Xue Qinghe sworn brothers? Plastic brothers, then?
Though she did not understand Dugu Feng's goal, this favored the Zhu clan. There was no risk, and it pleased Dugu Feng.
Overjoyed, she hugged him. "Thank you, Brother Feng!"
"No need to be excited. I'm not doing this for you; your dan bead is already back in your body.
Remember—if you botch this, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Dugu Feng's voice was cold.
"Yes, Master. This slave understands!"
Zhu Zhuyun agreed with a giggle, then turned her senses inward.
Suddenly, she felt the dan bead again.
Delight flooded her face.
With his business concluded, Dugu Feng did not plan to linger.
He dressed, brushed Zhu Zhuyun's cheek with meaningful fingers, and left the room.
Soon, his figure melted into the darkness and vanished.
With his stealth, the city's defenses were like an empty land.
Dugu Feng rose into the air, merged with the night, and flew for the north bank.
On the way back to his quarters, he detoured north of Tongshui City.
Guided by the Emerald Dragon-Serpent, he surveyed several Heaven Dou encampments.
Silent as a shadow, he alerted no one.
But from afar he spotted Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo.
Both had assumed false identities within the Royal Soul Master Group.
Beyond them, the Emerald Dragon-Serpent had found others connected to them—soul masters hidden in the dark.
This group was separate from the army, concealed in a forest some distance from Tongshui City.
This was the force Qian Renxue had kept hidden all along.
They would strike at the key moment, coordinating with the main force to smash Star Luo's defenses.
Brother Xue, let me add a bit of difficulty! Only then will your abilities show, and only then will you gain deeper tempering.
Dugu Feng smiled coldly.
