At 10:30 the next morning, Anna packed her things and brought Zhu Zhuqing with her to Zhu Zhuyun's room, greeting the two with a cheerful smile.
"Good morning, Brother Weis, Sister Zhuyun!"
"Good morning, Nana."
"Huh? Sister Zhuyun, why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?" Anna noticed that Zhu Zhuyun was curled up under the blanket, her face pale. She clearly didn't seem to be in good shape.
"Well…" Zhu Zhuyun's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She then cast a sidelong glance at Dai Weisi beside her and rolled her eyes. "Why don't you ask your Brother Weis?"
"Brother Weis, you didn't bully Sister Zhuyun last night, did you?"
"Huh?"
Dai Weisi was momentarily stunned, glancing at the beauty in bed. Seriously? Now you're pretending like nothing happened? Wait till tonight—I'll deal with you then.
"Injustice! Last night, it was your Sister Zhuyun who took the initiative. In fact, she was the one on top—"
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"
Before Dai Weisi could finish, Zhu Zhuyun shot up from the bed and clamped a hand over his mouth.
After last night's intense battle, Zhu Zhuyun would probably have to stay in bed for a few days. But even so, she felt a surge of happiness in her heart—because she had finally become Dai Weisi's wife.
No matter how many women Dai Weisi might have in the future, she would always be his first—the one he loved first, his white moonlight. No one could shake her place in his heart.
Knowing that Zhu Zhuyun was shy, Dai Weisi didn't press the issue. Instead, he looked at Anna's packed bag and asked curiously, "Nana, are you heading out?"
"Well, since all of us have reached a bottleneck in our soul power, I figured it's a good time to get our soul rings. So I packed up early."
After a short pause, Anna glanced at Zhu Zhuyun and frowned. "But seeing Sister Zhuyun like this… I guess we'll have to wait a few days."
"It's alright. It's just a few days anyway. Besides, even without the new soul rings, it won't affect your cultivation progress. Oh, by the way—I have another gift for you."
With that, Dai Weisi took out three Grade-Nine Green Spirit Pills and handed one to each of them.
"Brother Weis, what's this?" Zhu Zhuqing accepted the green pill, her wide, watery eyes full of curiosity.
"This is the Grade-Nine Green Spirit Pill, refined by Senior Yang Wudi using immortal herbs. It's just like the herbs you took yesterday—it strengthens the foundation, enhances soul power, and improves physique. Take it quickly! After you do, your soul power will grow even faster."
Finally, Dai Weisi gave Zhu Zhuyun a mischievous smile and teased, "Zhuyun, the Green Spirit Pill can improve your physique and relieve your pain. Once you've taken it, we can resume our 'battle' tonight!"
Zhu Zhuyun blushed bright red and pouted. "Stop it! Who said I'd do that with you again?!"
"Oh? My dear wife, you don't want to? That's fine—I'll just go find someone else then!"
"You dare!"
Though Zhu Zhuyun protested with her words, her actions betrayed her. She obediently accepted the pill and swallowed it in one gulp, then quietly began refining the medicinal energy. Zhu Zhuqing and Anna followed her lead and took the pills as well.
While the three girls were consuming the Grade-Nine Green Spirit Pills, in the imperial palace, Dai Pojun officially appointed Dai Weisi as the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire. He was now recognized as the legitimate heir to the imperial throne. Moreover, the emperor publicly announced that the royal family would abolish the old system of selecting the heir by competition.
This explosive news sent shockwaves through the court. Civil and military officials alike were bewildered, unable to fathom what Dai Pojun intended.
However, Dai Pojun did not offer any further explanation. After making the announcements, he dismissed court and set off in secret. Along with Zhu Yaqin and a team of death warriors, he joined Dai Tianxing and the others on a journey to the Star Dou Forest to acquire soul rings.
Ten days later, they returned. Dai Weisi went to the palace to meet with Dai Pojun and the others.
Dai Weisi congratulated them warmly, "Grandfather, Grandmother, congratulations on obtaining your ninth soul rings and officially becoming Titled Douluo!"
Dai Tianxing chuckled and said, "Hehe, I was lucky this time. I encountered a Thunderweight Ant Emperor with over 80,000 years of cultivation. After absorbing its soul ring, I not only got a great ninth ring, but also gained a powerful ninth soul skill. I've named it Goldensteel Ant Emperor Slash!"
After absorbing that 80,000-year-old ninth soul ring, Dai Tianxing's soul power rose by another level, making him a Rank 91 Titled Douluo.
"Thunderweight Ant Emperor…" Dai Weisi murmured, thinking that the ant his grandfather encountered was likely one of those infamous three brothers.
At that moment, Zhu Lingyun also smiled and said, "Grandmother had good luck too. She came across a Gale Saber-Toothed Tiger with 80,000 years of cultivation. Not only did she absorb its soul ring, but she also obtained an 80,000-year-old torso soul bone."
When she mentioned the soul bone, Zhu Lingyun's face lit up with joy. After all, this was a soul bone—an 80,000-year-old one at that—and it was a torso bone, second only to a skull bone in rarity. No wonder she couldn't stop smiling.
After absorbing both the soul ring and the soul bone, Zhu Lingyun's cultivation reached the peak of Rank 91, making her a true Titled Douluo. If she kept cultivating for a few more years, she could probably reach Rank 92.
Now that she had become a Titled Douluo, Zhu Lingyun also looked noticeably younger. Her once-white hair had turned into lustrous black strands. Though she was over sixty, she now looked like she was only in her forties.
"Hehe, congratulations, Grandmother! With that 80,000-year soul bone, I bet your strength may even surpass Grandfather's," Dai Weisi said with a smile. At last, the Star Luo Empire now had two true Titled Douluo.
"Haha! Becoming Titled Douluo wouldn't have been possible without you, my dear grandson!" Dai Tianxing laughed heartily before adding, "I heard from that rascal Tianyu that you and those two girls, Zhuyun and Zhuqing, have mastered a three-person martial soul fusion technique?"
"That's right. I've named it Star Luo Holy Tiger. Compared to the old Nether White Tiger, its attack power and speed are far superior—and it can fly. With our current strength, we can even hold our own against a Contra."
Dai Weisi explained. In recent days, he had tried practicing the Nether White Tiger separately with either Zhu Zhuyun or Zhu Zhuqing, only to find that they could no longer summon it—only the three-in-one fusion technique worked now.
"Excellent! Excellent! Who would've thought that our Star Luo Empire would give birth to a three-person martial soul fusion technique? Weis, you truly are a blessing to the empire!"
After hearing about the terrifying power of the Star Luo Holy Tiger, Dai Tianxing nodded in satisfaction. By his estimation, once the trio reached the Soul Emperor or Soul Sage level, they might even be able to challenge a Titled Douluo.
"By the way, I heard that Zhuyun has already broken through to Rank 50, and Zhuqing has reached Rank 30. Why haven't they gone to acquire their soul rings yet?"
"Uh… about that…" Dai Weisi looked embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.
Seeing his awkward expression, his mother Zhu Yaqin couldn't help but laugh, "Dad, didn't you say before that you were looking forward to having a great-grandchild…"
"Oh~"
Dai Tianxing gave a knowing, amused smile. As someone experienced in such matters, he immediately understood the implication behind Zhu Yaqin's words and laughed heartily. "Hahaha, good! Weis, do your best! Grandpa is looking forward to the day I can hold my great-grandchild!"
