Chapter 55: Capturing Zhu Zhuqing's Affection, Reward of the Heaven-Defying Soul Ring!_1
```
[Task Reward: Exclusive second soul ring for Nine Heavens Execution Sword.]
[Hundred-thousand-year soul ring: Blade Blossom Sea, Thousand Cherry Trees Dancing in Unison!]
A series of voices in his mind came to an end, and Luo Yuxing's eyes sparkled with excitement.
Having witnessed the power of the first soul skill, he had long since had an epiphany.
The exclusive soul ring for the Zhu Tian Sword might seem to merely be a hundred-thousand-year one, but in fact, its power was astonishing. As his soul power continued to improve, the strength of that soul skill also doubled day by day.
Luo Yu thought to himself in secret.
He didn't know what kind of heavenly transformation the soul skill would bring to the Zhu Tian Sword this time or what kind of divine power it would possess.
He was itching inside right now and couldn't wait to rush out of the hotel to find a place to test its strength.
"You, why did you suddenly stop talking?"
Zhu Zhuqing's soft and sticky nervous voice came from behind him.
It was only then that Luo Yu snapped out of his trance, cursing himself for being so absent-minded.
When would he not be able to test the soul skill? This was not an opportunity that came around all the time.
A woman's smooth and tender arms wrapped around him from behind, crossing in front of his abdomen and hugging him tightly, as if she was deeply afraid he would run off to find Zhu Zhuyun.
What made Luo Yu restless was the way the woman was holding him.
Luo Yu's throat moved slightly, "What do you mean by this?"
Zhu Zhuqing rubbed her pretty face against the man's back, her voice somewhat flustered, coquettishly said, "I... I don't know what's gotten into me, I just don't want you to sleep with her tonight."
"Don't tell me you're jealous," Luo Yu teased.
"Of course not, why would I be jealous of you?" Zhu Zhuqing huffed.
Hearing the girl's denial, the corners of Luo Yu's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile. Having already gotten the system notification, how could he not know Zhu Zhuqing's intentions?
A girl who says one thing and means another.
Now, it was probably the shame in her heart that was at play.
He tried to turn around, but the woman suddenly applied more force with her arms, preventing him from moving.
"Please don't turn around, okay?" Zhu Zhuqing, like a frightened little deer, pleaded in her speech.
Would Luo Yu be such a good boy and listen obediently?
Of course not.
Sometimes you can listen to a woman, but if you always listen, you're definitely not using your head.
Now was the time to press the advantage and take the initiative decisively.
He caught the woman's soft, tender hands, his muscular body surged with gentle strength, and with a slight shake, he instantly broke free from the embrace of her arms.
Zhu Zhuqing let out a cry of surprise, not expecting the man to attack suddenly. Covering her face, she attempted to jump out of bed and run away, not wanting to let him see how nervous she was.
But before the fiery girl could flee, a pair of large hands directly encircled her delicate and soft waist, brutally pulling her back.
Zhu Zhuqing lost her balance and plunged into the man's embrace, the robust male scent rushing to her nose—a special aroma completely different from her own body fragrance.
"Let me go," Zhu Zhuqing struck out with her little fists, pounding on the man's chest.
"I won't," Luo Yu replied with a laugh, shaking his head, his strong arms instead held her even tighter.
Zhu Zhuqing continued to flail, but she couldn't break free.
"You're such a rascal~"
She whimpered, glaring with her black watery beautiful eyes, and suddenly looked up at the man.
But the moment she did, she froze.
Being in the man's embrace, from this angle, she could see his face the moment she looked up, and even clearly feel his breath—the distance was just too close.
Zhu Zhuqing looked into the man's deep starry eyes, her hand movements to hit and struggle ceased, her beautiful eyes somewhat glazed over, as if deeply captivated.
```
Her heart quivered, secretly wondering just how handsome a man must be to possess such enchanting eyes.
Some qualities truly cannot be hidden.
Although Luo Yu used the Thousand Illusion Mask to conceal his face, both Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing could feel the man's uniqueness, and deep in their hearts, they had already conjured up a perfect image of him.
"Do you like it?" Luo Yu's lips slanted, revealing a confident and devilish charm.
"Mmm..."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded subconsciously, then immediately shook her head repeatedly, her face flushed with crimson clouds.
"You... let go of me, this isn't right."
"I don't see what's wrong with it?"
As Luo Yu spoke, as if possessed by a ghost, he pinched the woman's smooth, jade-like beautiful legs. It was no wonder she was an agile-attack class Soul Master; her legs had not an ounce of excess fat, and they felt wonderful to the touch.
"Soft Whimper!"
Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip, indignantly said, "You're a rogue, is this how you bully people?"
Luo Yu said with a smirk that wasn't quite a smile, "You're making me sound innocent. It was you who locked the bedroom door and climbed into my bed."
"Then why didn't you let me go when I wanted to leave?" Zhu Zhuqing huffed softly.
Luo Yu shook his head, his big hand up to no good, and as he spoke, he gave another pinch on her beautiful leg, "Tsk tsk, do you think this is a place where you can come and go as you please?"
"You... what on earth do you want to do?"
Zhu Zhuqing's heart was in complete chaos now, utterly dominated by the man's initiative.
It was undeniable that she had already had a favorable impression of him.
Because of what had happened, those feelings had actually grown quite deep.
Otherwise, how could she, who so cherished her reputation, have mustered the courage to storm into the bedroom?
It was just that her innate shyness made it difficult for her to express her feelings.
The man's assertiveness and dominance made her incredibly bashful, and at the same time, a different kind of feeling emerged in her heart, a sweet feeling that was rapidly growing.
"What do I want to do?" Luo Yu breathed softly into Zhu Zhuqing's silver-pearlescent ears. "Tell me, how can I not devour a little lamb who comes knocking on my door?"
Zhu Zhuqing grasped those presumptuous claws, her voice weak as a mosquito's: "We... we can't do this."
"Why not?"
The man's voice seemed laced with a kind of temptation, constantly echoing in her ears, sending Zhu Zhuqing's heart into even more turmoil, so much so that she almost lost the ability to think rationally in her nervousness.
"We've only just met not long ago, and we're not in any kind of relationship."
Luo Yu gently said in a warm voice, "With the wrong person, no length of acquaintance can make them a lover; but with the right person, even a first meeting can lead to love at first sight."
Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body trembled, images of her time with the man since their acquaintance flashed through her mind.
At first, this guy was somewhat frustrating, speaking without restrictions, giving her a very special feeling, because all the men she had met before would always be compliant with her and coddle her.
Later, when she was most desperate, it was this guy who came to her aid, and he seemed like a different person, displaying such domineering attitude, like a demon god incarnate.
After all, which woman doesn't like a true strong man?
Especially one who has lacked a sense of security since childhood.
Latterly, when Dai Mubai personally declared the annulment of their engagement, Zhu Zhuqing felt as if the shackles that had bound her body and mind were gone, and her heart gradually made room for someone else.
Luo Yu noticed the change in the woman's eyes and said softly,
"Zhu Qing, you can call me lecherous, you can call me a rogue, but I want to be honest with you, from the first time I saw you, I've had a good impression of you."
Their eyes met, and Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes became hazy.
"You..."
Luo Yu was about to speak, but the woman interrupted him with a hand.
"No more words, kiss me..."
