Lu Yuan expected Zhu Zhuyun's flattery. Unlike her younger sister, Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuyun, a little cat, had a keen eye for choosing positions. It was a matter of a person's talent, just like Zhu Zhuqing's stubbornness that was deeply ingrained in her.
Of course, Lu Yuan couldn't help but consider Zhu Zhuyun's loyalty. However, everyone has their weaknesses.
After imprinting the Unrivaled Dragon Snake couple and Meng Yiran with the Flying Thunder God marks, Lu Yuan stretched out his hand, pressed it on Zhu Zhuyun's back, forcibly extracted a small amount of low-quality spatial power, and then infused it into the three Flying Thunder God marks.
He made a promise that if there was even a slight change in the Unrivaled Dragon Snake couple, he would make them die without knowing how they died. Especially since the imprints of these three people were all placed on their foreheads, even transferring a poor-quality toothpick into them would suffice. The power of space is so unpredictable.
"Do you understand?" Lu Yuan asked, imprinting the Flying Thunder God mark on the drawer and gesturing for Zhu Zhuyun to operate it.
Zhu Zhuyun easily controlled the power of space to leave her own mark on it, then conjured a sharp blade into the drawer out of thin air. Throughout the process, everything went smoothly.
But...
"Why is your mark like this?" Lu Yuan asked as he touched the intricate heart-shaped imprint, finding it more and more familiar.
Zhu Zhuyun pursed her lips, her heart beating faster. She suddenly reached out to erase the heart-shaped imprint, turned her head away, and for some reason, remembered the scene in the bathroom earlier, which made her blush.
Seeing Zhu Zhuyun remaining silent for a long time, Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly.
"Well, if you don't want to answer, I won't ask anymore. Can I borrow your bed to sleep?"
She remained silent, not resisting. As he lay on the bed by himself, he slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
After a while, Zhu Zhuyun turned around, looked at the defenseless Lu Yuan sleeping soundly, and sighed softly. It seemed that she felt sorry for herself for not living up to expectations and also felt ashamed for not expecting too much from the other party.
Standing on tiptoe, walking gently to the bed, Zhu Zhuyun carefully covered Lu Yuan with the quilt. Then she lazily lay on the bed, rubbing Lu Yuan's arm like a kitten before falling into a dreamland.
The night was pierced by a dazzling light. Instinctively raising his hand to shield his eyes, Lu Yuan felt something strange on his other arm. It felt heavy, as if carrying a weight.
Looking at the sleeping Zhu Zhuyun, Lu Yuan sighed softly and pulled his arm out of her embrace. Unexpectedly, this simple movement suddenly awakened Zhu Zhuyun, who was in a deep sleep. She opened her eyes in confusion, as if she hadn't fully come out of her dream.
They stayed there, silent. Politely looking away and gazing at the beautiful scenery outside the window, he couldn't help but sigh:
"The night will eventually pass, and dawn will always come."
Of course, this was only the opinion of a teenager. Meng Yiran, who also witnessed this scene, and the Unrivaled Dragon Snake couple, felt a sense of sadness deep in their hearts. It was the fear of the future. Meng Yiran, who had secretly shed tears several times that night, still had swollen eyes.
Fortunately, Zhu Zhuyun understood her well. After tidying up her appearance, she kindly gave her a black ribbon to help cover the strange and unsightly marks on her forehead. Otherwise, this usually arrogant little girl might not have the courage to hold her head up and walk.
"My lord, what would you like to eat?" Zhu Zhuyun blinked mischievously and whispered into Lu Yuan's ear. It may be an illusion, but Lu Yuan always felt that after last night, Zhu Zhuyun had grown bolder.
He calmly felt his waist and then looked at the sheets silently, finally calming down his slightly uneasy mood.
After having a sumptuous breakfast at Zhu Zhuyun's place and borrowing a map of the Sun Moon Forest, Lu Yuan's figure instantly disappeared from the room. The feeling of loss quickly dissipated in Zhu Zhuyun's mind. The core pillar was now in her hands. If she continued to develop at this leisurely pace, it would be an insult to her talent.
Three months! With just three months, she had enough confidence to replace all the core members under Davis with her own trusted allies.
While Zhu Zhuyun silently contemplated the next plan, Davis, who was in the prince's mansion of the Star Luo Empire, was furious.
"What are you all doing? Surveillance, do you even know what surveillance means? Who gave you the order to take action?" The Spirit brush worth thousands of gold spirit coins struck the leader of his guard's head which the brush split in two.
With the strength of this Spirit Sect member, he could have dodged the attack, but reason told him it was best not to.
Davis's eyes were filled with malice, hardly containing his anger towards these two idiots. Only Dai Mubai had the authority to execute him. The consequence of acting on one's own was undoubtedly scaring away the snake. The key was to scare the snake away, without any gain whatsoever.
If it weren't for the fear of losing power at present, Davis would have unleashed his anger. Suppressing his frustration and pressing his temples, he waved his hand in disgust and said, "Get out!" The two Spirit Sect members glanced at each other, bowed, and left the study without uttering a word.
At that moment, Davis, consumed by his devastation, didn't notice that a bloodthirsty dagger had silently appeared behind him, waiting for the right moment to strike.
Time always flew by so quickly. In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
With a wave of his hand, Lu Yuan trapped a beast less than ten years old and continued searching the map with a gloomy expression.
Naturally, the map didn't have any markings for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. If it did, the Star Luo Empire wouldn't have left this treasure land untouched. Even if they didn't know the purpose of the Ice and Fire Herb, they definitely wouldn't give it away cheaply.
They would pull them all out! All of them!
Looking at the incredibly eerie scene, the corners of Lu Yuan's mouth curled up slightly, but he refrained from laughing out loud.
Nevertheless, this map was still somewhat useful. At the very least, it helped him eliminate many places that weren't the Eye of Ice and Fire.
Stepping forward, Lu Yuan's figure distorted and instantly appeared tens of meters away, startling several natives of the Sunset Forest like a ghost.
Yah! Excitedly poking its head out from the zipper of the shoulder bag, Wade vigorously waved its little paw, greeting these fellow beasts.
Of course, its main purpose was to show off the powerful thighs it clung to. Don't think that spirit beasts don't have vanity. Vanity isn't just inherent in humans; it's also present in beasts.
