Zhu Zhuqing, although shy in front of Luo Yu,
was absolutely resolute once she set her mind on something.
Her movements were awkward, but she tried very hard.
Consciously cooperating.
...
The next morning, soft sunlight poured into the hotel room.
The pink rose petals on the carpet seemed even fresher and more delicate.
"Creak!"
The bedroom door opened, and Luo Yu stepped out, just stretching contentedly when he was almost startled.
Zhu Zhuyun kneeled elegantly on the sofa, her enchanting face sagging with boundless sorrow in her beautiful eyes, and her pursed red lips appeared as if they could hang an oil bottle.
Luo Yu approached, noticed the red blood vessels in her eyes, and the dark circles under them, and hesitated, "You haven't slept all night, have you?"
Mentioning this made Zhu Zhuyun feel wronged, and she almost burst into tears.
"How could I sleep with you two doing bad things in there??"
"Doing bad things? Who's been doing bad things?" Luo Yu looked around, baffled.
"Don't look, it's you, just you!"
The woman accused with tears, like a neglected wife in a long-unloved boudoir.
"What did I do?" Luo Yu spread his hands.
Zhu Zhuyun rolled her eyes and huffed, "Master, I heard the noise! Are you still pretending?~"
"The kind of exaggerated screams are nothing compared to the barely suppressed moans that torment people even more."
Luo Yu touched his nose, "You must be misunderstanding something."
Zhu Zhuyun felt like giving the man in front of her a hammer blow.
Misunderstood?
Could she possibly misunderstand?
The noises were just like the ones she had made in the bathroom before.
"Master, you don't love me anymore."
Zhu Zhuyun's voice was hoarse, as if she was accusing a faithless lover.
Luo Yu recalled for a moment, "Did I ever say I loved you?"
Zhu Zhuyun's face turned green instantly, and she felt like she could never love again.
Indeed, all men are pigs—new love makes them forget old love.
Isn't a sister more charming than a younger sister?
Why does this guy keep focusing on Zhu Zhuqing! Look at me more.
"Alright, don't look so downcast. Here, take this."
Luo Yu threw something from his hand, shining with silver light, which landed accurately in Zhu Zhuyun's arms.
Hmph, stinking man, don't think a trivial little gift can heal a wounded woman's heart.
Zhu Zhuyun thought with pride, but when she saw what was in her arms, her heart skipped a beat and her eyes glazed over.
Incredulously, she picked it up and examined it over and over, her breathing quickened, her beautiful eyes widened, she stared hard at Luo Yu, disbelieving, "This, you're giving this to me?"
"Mm." Luo Yu yawned, still sleepy, he was indeed tired from last night.
Having received confirmation from the man, Zhu Zhuyun was even more shocked inside.
In her hand was a soul bone, crystal clear, with wisps of breeze winding around it, containing special energy, obviously extraordinary.
This... this is a soul bone.
This guy, just giving it away like that?
Zhu Zhuyun's shock lingered, even with her illustrious background, she had never seen such gifts, and here this man casually pulled out a soul bone to give away?
What kind of wealth did he have?
Even the number one power of Douluo, the Martial Soul Hall, wouldn't dare to be so generous.
The already towering image of Luo Yu in Zhu Zhuyun's mind was magnified endlessly.
Looking at the soul bone in her hand, Zhu Zhuyun grew fonder of it and, torn, she said, "Are you really sure, you want to give it to me? Do you know what it does?"
Luo Yu waved his hand dismissively, "It's just a soul bone, no big deal. Giving it to you, just take it."
Zhu Zhuyun swallowed hard, finding it difficult to reject the temptation in her hands, "This gift of yours is too extravagant, Yun'er doesn't deserve such an honor."
Luo Yu became more serious.
"You're very smart, but I hope you can use it in the right way in the future."
"Follow my woman well, and I won't let her suffer."
"If you have any other ideas, well..."
"Yun'er understands!"
Zhu Zhuyun nodded obediently, it was the first time in her life she had seen such a divine being, so willing to give away a soul bone, which was absolutely terrifying.
She examined the soul bone in her hands closely; it was clearly not an ordinary item, the kind you couldn't buy even if you had the money.
She asked as she swallowed, "Have you already fitted the soul bone to yourself?"
"No."
"Then why don't you keep it for yourself?"
Luo Yu raised his hand, "To others, this soul bone might be a rarity, but to me, it's still lacking. I have better goals and choices."
"Hiss!"
You're not impressed by a soul bone of this appearance, this quality!
Are you aiming for the heavens?
Zhu Zhuyun felt like a million alpacas had trampled through her heart in an instant.
As for the grudge she'd been nursing all night in the living room, it had evaporated the moment Luo Yu produced the soul bone.
"Thank you, benefactor, for your generous gift." Zhu Zhuyun hugged the soul bone like a treasure.
"Enough, I don't like pleasantries," Luo Yu raised his hand, "You and Zhu Qing each take one; the soul bones I selected suit both of your situations; just absorb them directly."
Too considerate!
Loved it, loved it, Zhu Zhuyun's eyes were about to flash with heart shapes.
Her unremarkable life had transformed as if entering a new world after meeting this man.
Martial Soul evolved, received soul bone.
Something she wouldn't even dare to dream about in the past was actually happening.
Zhu Zhuyun suppressed the excitement in her heart, batting her long, curled eyelashes, "Master, you're so good to me, I don't know how to repay you!"
Luo Yu raised an eyebrow, "Not angry now?"
"Angry, what's there to be angry about?" Zhu Zhuyun moved closer and kissed Luo Yu's cheek, "If you need it, my sister and I can serve you together, I don't mind."
A vein popped on Luo Yu's forehead, he hadn't expected a soul bone to have such an effect.
Women's mood swings are too rapid.
A moment ago in the bedroom, Zhu Qing had been rejoicing over the gift for a long time, giving out hugs and kisses repeatedly.
An eighty or ninety thousand-year-old soul bone was something he couldn't use himself, even if he didn't give it away.
Both women now had a deep relationship with him; he didn't mind giving it to them.
With the Immaculate Divine Body he built with the Tribulation-Crossing Golden Lotus, it would be a waste and a downgrade to absorb these lower-year soul bones; he already had his true goal in sight.
Luo Yu could hardly stand Zhu Zhuyun's intense gaze and patted his lower back, instructing, "You sisters go upstairs to absorb the soul bones; I'll take a walk outside."
"Waiting for your return," Zhu Zhuyun threw him an extremely flirty and pleasing look.
...
At the Rose Hotel, the damaged areas in the hallway had been repaired overnight by Dai Mubai. Although there were slight imperfections, the issues weren't significant.
At Luo Yu's request, Dai Mubai had even compensated the hotel with a settlement, appeased the other guests, and then slinked back to Shrek disappointed.
Just stepping outside the hotel and taking a few breaths of fresh air, Luo Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.
A man and a woman were running his way from the far end of the street.
The man was of average appearance, wrapped in a flashy belt, yet his clothes were very plain.
The woman, however, was stunningly beautiful, her features pure and innocent, dressed in a pink coat.
What caught Luo Yu's attention were those long, slender legs tightly clad in pink stockings, round and straight, incredibly pleasing to the eyes.
[Ding! Female deity target detected.]
The System's voice, almost synchronizing with Luo Yu's gaze focusing on those pink legs, rang out...
