Bai Yu's eyelids twitched. He saw Zhu Zhuyun nestled in his arms, looking at him with watery and seductive eyes, and a sense of absurdity rose in his heart.
He didn't quite understand why Zhu Zhuyun would do this, since he had already promised to ensure her and the Zhu family's safety.
(TL: has been pretty weird these past few chapters… dude would do anything to get the girls on his bed but with zhuyun and yueer hes basically been really passive, yeah he gave decent explanations for it but honestly I don't buy them that's too logical for a guy who only thinks with his dick)
However, Bai Yu had been preoccupied with Zhu Zhuqing's deception and hadn't really paid much attention to Zhu Zhuyun.
After taking a closer look, he realized this woman is actually quite something.
She has a face that is six or seven parts similar to Zhu Zhuqing's, but a better figure and is also taller.
Most importantly, this woman is a real heartbreaker! That one seductive glance from her is simply irresistible.
However, Bai Yu remained rational. Although Zhu Zhuyun's appearance completely appealed to his tastes, it didn't feel right to just take her down like that.
Bai Yu then swallowed almost imperceptibly, but still reached out and pushed Zhu Zhuyun a little distance away, frowning as he said:
"There's no need for that. Since I promised you, I won't go back on my word. There's no need to do such a thing."
"Besides, you are Zhuqing's older sister, so I will naturally protect you."
Zhu Zhuyun's eyes flashed with surprise; she hadn't expected Bai Yu to push her away.
If she hadn't noticed some of Bai Yu's subtle reactions just now, she would have thought that Bai Yu was no longer interested in women.
However, this only strengthened her resolve, and she moved forward once more, hanging herself on Bai Yu.
And this time they were even closer, so much so that even the pair of huge, wicked breasts on her chest were squeezed and severely deformed.
"Of course I believe you, but since you have protected the Zhu family and me, we should repay you in kind."
"You, the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, probably wouldn't even look at the other things belonging to the Zhu family. So, the only thing I can use to repay you is myself."
"Besides, Zhuqing has already agreed. With just one word from you, Zhuqing's sister, the princess consort of Star Luo, will be your secret lover, available at your beck and call!"
For Zhu Zhuyun, promises were meaningless. In her years as a prince's consort, she had witnessed far too many instances of promises being treated like hot air.
In her view, any guarantee is worthless if there is no real benefit involved!
Although Zhu Zhuqing is now with Bai Yu and her sister, it seems that everything is fine.
But what if one day her sister falls out of favor? Would today's guarantee still be effective then? She didn't think so!
So she wanted to add another bargaining chip, which was to give herself to Bai Yu as well. Although she was no longer a virgin, she never thought of stepping into the spotlight.
Just as she herself said, being a secret lover who can be summoned and dismissed at will can still influence Bai Yu to some extent.
Bai Yu had no idea how much Zhu Zhuyun was thinking. If he did, he would definitely curse her inwardly, saying that this woman had been too deeply poisoned by the nobility!
But at this moment, his anger was rising in his chest. To be honest, this woman was too good at it!
Then, in a slightly hoarse voice, he asked:
"Are you serious? You won't regret it?"
Zhu Zhuyun's lips curled up slightly, making her watery eyes even more alluring.
"Your Holiness, would you like me to undress you?"
A glint of fire flashed in Bai Yu's eyes. He wrapped his arm around Zhu Zhuyun's waist, picked her up, and carried her to the bedside.
"Hmm~, Your Highness, don't rush, let me do it."
"Wow, where did you learn that? It's really... Never mind, let me do it. I don't have the habit of messing with people."
The petals and leaves once broke the flower stamens, and the drooping willow branches swayed again.
...
More than an hour later, the chirping in the room gradually stopped.
Bai Yu looked at Zhu Zhuyun, whose face was rosy and who was breathing slightly heavily, and sighed inwardly.
By now he had almost figured out why Zhu Zhuyun had done this; she was using herself to give the Zhu family an extra layer of assurance.
The way she served him just now wasn't out of affection, but rather out of a desire to please him; it was an attitude of wanting something in return.
However, Bai Yu didn't mind, since a person's living environment determines their personality.
The social circle Zhu Zhuyun has been in for a long time dictates that if she doesn't scheme more, those around her will take advantage of her.
But now that this woman is his woman, Bai Yu naturally has to make plans for her. He doesn't expect her to regain her innocence, but at least he wants her to be herself again.
Then Bai Yu reached out and took out a stone box from the storage soul tool next to him, and handed it to Zhu Zhuyun.
"What is this? A red lotus flower?"
Upon seeing Bai Yu give her something, Zhu Zhuyun reached out and took it, then leaned against Bai Yu's chest and opened the stone box.
However, after seeing what was inside, she was a little confused. What did it mean to give her a flower?
Besides, even if you send flowers, you wouldn't send lotus flowers, would you?
Bai Yu stroked Zhu Zhuyun's smooth waist and whispered:
"This thing is called Cinnabar Lotus, a rare and precious natural treasure. Eat it, but remember to eat the lotus petals first and then the lotus seeds."
A subtle glint flashed in Zhu Zhuyun's eyes. Although she didn't know what an Immortal Herb was, she knew that this thing was definitely a rare and precious treasure.
A struggle then appeared on Zhu Zhuyun's face, but it vanished immediately. She closed the stone box in front of her and chuckled softly.
"Heh, my sister's strength has increased so much, it must be thanks to this kind of thing, right? She's also consumed the so-called Immortal Herbs?"
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, looking at Zhu Zhuyun with some surprise. He thought to himself that this girl's reaction speed was really fast. She knew the approximate effect after only hearing a little introduction.
"Yes, it's very related, but not entirely. These Immortal herbs are mainly used to enhance soul power and improve aptitude; their impact on combat power at the same level isn't that significant."
"Zhuqing's strength also comes partly from the application of cultivation techniques. As for what cultivation techniques are, I will tell you after you have absorbed the immortal herbs."
Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Zhu Zhuyun suddenly realized. She thought to herself, "Why would a mere lotus flower be carried so carefully by the Holy Son of Spirit Hall?"
If it's a powerful treasure that can change one's aptitude and enhance one's soul power, then it makes sense.
Zhu Zhuyun then glanced reluctantly at the stone box, shook her head slightly at Bai Yu, and said:
"Take this cinnabar lotus back and give it to someone more suitable. Such a treasure shouldn't be given to me; it's not worth it."
To be honest, Zhu Zhuyun's heart was bleeding when she refused. Didn't she want to improve her aptitude and increase her soul power?
Of course I want to! How could I not? I'm practically going crazy thinking about it!
But after thinking it over, she decided to return it to Bai Yu. She felt that if she, his mistress, who was not someone to be seen in public, used this thing, it would easily bring trouble to her family.
She might as well be honest and take good care of Bai Yu first. If she can get pregnant with Bai Yu's child someday, then she will have the confidence to use Bai Yu's resources.
(TL: putting schemes aside shed make a great partner… so long as shes not planning on screwing you over lol… shed be the type of girl to get herself pregnant if youre rich that way youd stay with her or at least give child support)
