Chapter 259: The State-Defending Divine Instrument Acknowledges Its Master! Stunning the Audience!! A Gathering of Beautiful Legs_1

The room was exceptionally quiet.

Luo Yu had finished his meal and rose from his seat.

"What's going on? It's so lively. Why is everyone gathering around me?"

Tang Yuehua, Xue Ke, and Snow Night Emperor were all bewildered.

You ask what's going on?

We'd like to ask you the same.

Snow Night Emperor thought that by now Poison Douluo must have thoroughly subdued this youngster.

But it looked more like Poison Douluo was the one being subdued, acting like a sycophant.

Snow Night Emperor felt this was quite preposterous.

Are you not a Titled Douluo? Could you lack such presence, deigning to please a youth?

Well, he can play the zither, but what's so great about that?

Quite baffled, Tang Yuehua questioned Luo Yu, "What's going on with you and Lord Poison Douluo? You seem so harmonious."

Luo Yu countered, "Shouldn't it be harmonious?"

"Um..."

Tang Yuehua had not forgotten the daunting manner in which Poison Douluo had ascended the stairs to seek justice, and now he was as tame as a lamb. She was very curious about what Luo Yu had done.

It was a bit too miraculous.

Poison Douluo stepped forward and explained with a smile, "Your Majesty, this man is my savior. Please be a bit more courteous when you speak to him."

"???"

Snow Night Emperor's gaze froze.

Aren't you here to help me teach him a lesson? How did you end up teaching me instead?

Snow Night Emperor faintly felt as if Poison Douluo had defected.

It was almost like he was telling him to be courteous to the youngster and not to be unappreciative.

The bizarre atmosphere before him and Poison Douluo's abnormal behavior

made Snow Night Emperor take Luo Yu much more seriously.

He scrutinized Luo Yu over and over.

With his vast experience, he quickly detected a unique temperament in Luo Yu.

It was a tranquil temperament, as if nothing was important enough to be taken to heart by him.

Even being the emperor couldn't stir the slightest ripple in his eyes.

Shaken, Snow Night Emperor made a judgment.

This young man was definitely extraordinary; such a gaze and temperament couldn't be found in ordinary people.

He let go of his previous displeasure and approached with a smile.

"I had heard about you long ago, and seeing you today, you truly are a man of talent."

"I hope you won't take offense at my abrupt visit."

"May I inquire about your family name and where you reside?"

Luo Yu inwardly curled his lip.

A man of talent my ass. He was, after all, in disguise.

Facing Snow Night Emperor's question, he briefly answered.

"Luo Yu."

"Luo Yu???"

Snow Night Emperor frowned, feeling that the name sounded somewhat familiar.

Wait a minute!

Wasn't the genius that spread from Martial Soul Hall also called Luo Yu?

Could it be the same person?

No, it can't be. It's not possible for someone to have such monstrous talents in both cultivation and art.

It must just be a coincidence of names.

Thanks to Poison Douluo's mediation, Snow Night Emperor put aside his stature, warming up to Luo Yu.

After chatting for a while, Snow Night Emperor earnestly requested Luo Yu to play a tune.

As for why, Snow Night Emperor refrained from mentioning it and did not disclose it to Luo Yu.

Luo Yu, having just finished eating and with nothing else to do, was graciously and amicably invited by an emperor himself.

It wasn't an excessive request, and he did not mind granting the other party this small favor.

He went to the center of the hall on the ground floor, took out the Seven-stringed Jade Phoenix Zither, and began to play.

The sound of the zither was ethereal, transcending the mundane.

Poison Douluo's eyes revealed his emotions, thinking what good fortune his granddaughter must have cultivated in her past lives to encounter such a perfect man.

He had made the right decision to annul the marriage with the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan.

Tang Yuehua was wearing flesh-toned stockings, while Xue Ke's beautiful legs were enveloped in white silk.

The two stood close together, forming a striking scene with four silky legs.

They fully displayed a playfulness that spanned years.

They had already listened to Luo Yu play many times, yet they never grew tired of it.

Tang Yuehua's beautiful eyes were mesmerized.

Xue Ke looked at Luo Yu with affectionate, undisguised emotion.

The Snow Night Emperor's mind was not on the melody; his hands clenched behind his back around a triangular object, entirely translucent, as though carved from sapphire.

He was somewhat nervous at this moment.

The Boundless Universe Shield, as a State-Defending Divine Instrument, had never had its real secrets unearthed by any of the emperors from past generations.

Could he be successful in this generation?

The Boundless Universe Shield had reacted because of this youngster before; it was uncertain if it would work this time.

Luo Yu's fingers danced, and the music reached its climax, as if the Seven-stringed Jade Phoenix Zither had come to life.

The sound of the zither shimmered with brilliant, vibrant red light.

Two spirited phoenix phantoms soared into the air, circling and twirling alongside Luo Yu's movements.

Tang Yuehua and Xue Ke had long since ceased to be surprised by such phenomena.

But Poison Douluo and the Snow Night Emperor were utterly enchanted, shocked beyond belief by Luo Yu.

With their discerning eyes, it was clear to them that this zither was no ordinary item; it was definitely on the level of a Divine Artifact.

They knew all too well that not just anyone could wield a Divine Artifact.

This zither had laid in Qinge for so long, yet only Luo Yu could make it emit such divine radiance.

"This young man is too incredible," the Snow Night Emperor exclaimed with heartfelt admiration, not stingy with praise.

Poison Douluo pursed his lips; this was just the tip of the iceberg.

If you knew the true strength of my son-in-law, wouldn't it scare you to death?

Suddenly, the room was filled with a strange disturbance.

"Whoooosh—Whooooshhhh!"

It was as if the sounds of a great sea's surging waves had arisen.

Everyone was startled and looked towards the direction of the noise, towards the Snow Night Emperor.

Behind the Snow Night Emperor, a cobalt blue brilliance lit up, impossible to conceal.

The Snow Night Emperor took out the Boundless Universe Shield that was acting up, his eyes brimming with joy.

"It's really responding!"

"It's actually really responding!!"

He called out to Luo Yu, nervous, "Don't stop, don't stop, keep playing!"

"You will be handsomely rewarded afterwards; the Tiandou Empire will be grateful to you."

Luo Yu, upon hearing this, continued to play.

His gaze also took notice of the triangle emitting a blue glow in the hands of the Snow Night Emperor.

He had a hunch.

The sound of the zither was melodious and flowing, and the Seven-stringed Jade Phoenix Zither shone with an unusual luster.

The crystal clear blue triangle seemed unwilling to be outdone, pulsing rapidly along with the music.

Bursting from the surface of the triangle, the crystal blue light rippled with water-wave patterns, which seemed to come alive; rings of blue light twinkled, their core swirling with treasure light.

Strange energy fluctuations gushed from the triangle, coloring half of the hall in oceanic blue. The soft blue undulations were stunningly beautiful.

"Hahaha," the Snow Night Emperor laughed joyously and triumphantly, raising the triangle, "I'm about to unlock the secrets of the Boundless Universe Shield; the revitalization of the empire is just around the corner!"

"Luo Yu, my young friend, do not stop, keep playing!" the Snow Night Emperor urged loudly, excited and overjoyed.

"Whoooosh—"

The sound of ocean waves continued to emanate from the gem-like triangle, the potent azure light bursting forth, its tremble rate increasing ever more rapidly.

The Snow Night Emperor grew more and more ecstatic; he was on the verge of mastering the State-Defending Divine Instrument.

When the light from the Boundless Universe Shield erupted to its peak,

The Snow Night Emperor was already beaming with delight.

"Swoosh!"

The triangle in his hand suddenly broke free, like a blue meteor, tearing through the space.

Before anyone present could react, it had already flown to Luo Yu's front.

Luo Yu couldn't respond in time as the triangle lightly touched his brow.

A drop of fragrant, crimson blood dripped onto it.

"Buzz!"

The triangle seemed excited, flickering rapidly.

An unbelievable voice of excitement erupted from the void, utterly astounded by Luo Yu's drop of blood.

"Damn, hit the jackpot!"

"How can there be such a badass physique in the human world."

"This inheritor belongs to me, the Sea God; who the hell dares to snatch it?"

The triangle gave a slight shake, eagerly burrowing into Luo Yu's forehead.

Luo Yu's aura exploded in an instant, his body radiating intense light.

In a flash, the hall seemed to contain a true sea, with waves rolling tumultuously.

Thousand-layered mighty waves swept the skies, and every marine creature bowed in submission,

As if to celebrate the birth of a new lord of the ocean.

At this moment, because the incident happened in an instant,

Not only was Luo Yu bemused.

Everyone else in the room also stared, dumbfounded and shocked.

Some ladies in stockings invited me out to dinner; I might be back late, going out to gather materials for my brothers.

I wanted to decline, but they offered too much, alas... [crying.jpg]
