Chapter 185: He's My Boyfriend
The testing continued, but no one else as stunning as Zhu Zhuyun appeared.
The Zhu family rarely produced Soul Elders, and when they did, they were much older.
Watching the tests unfold, Zhu Zihao felt a sense of disappointment. The Zhu family had still failed to produce a truly talented disciple. Without such talent, even a powerful family like theirs would eventually decline.
If only Zhuqing were here. She should have reached level 28 by now. Zhuqing's talent was even greater than Zhuyun's. What a pity.
Though he was their father, there were times when he couldn't protect them.
As the last of the disciples completed their tests, Zhu Zihao felt a growing sense of frustration and was about to dismiss the disciples when a commotion erupted in the crowd.
"Isn't that Miss Zhuqing?"
"Who's the man beside her? Could it be Dai Mubai? Doesn't look like it."
"And that woman with them is so beautiful."
In the Zhu family's square, Zhao Ming stood quietly, holding Zhu Zhuqing's hand. The beautiful Zi Ji was also present.
The appearance of Zhao Ming, Zhu Zhuqing, and Zi Ji immediately drew the attention of the Zhu family disciples. They stared at the trio with curious and puzzled expressions.
"Zhuqing is back?" Zhu Zihao's face lit up with a smile, but it quickly faded, replaced by a frown. He noticed a stranger holding his precious daughter's hand. He knew Dai Mubai, so this man clearly wasn't him.
The Zhu family had always married into the Dai family to maintain their alliance and mutual trust, which was the foundation of their current status.
Now, his daughter had broken that tradition? How could she be so intimate with another man when she already had a fiancé?
Zhu Zihao's brow furrowed, and a faint anger rose within him. But with so many disciples present, he held back, keeping his cold gaze fixed on Zhao Ming.
As Zhu Zhuqing returned to her family, she saw her father, her sister, and the eyes of the Zhu family disciples all on her. She felt nervous and unsure of what to do.
"Don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I'm here for you," Zhao Ming whispered, squeezing her hand gently.
"Mm. With you here, I'm not afraid." Zhu Zhuqing looked at Zhao Ming, and the anxiety in her heart eased. Her eyes reflected a newfound determination.
Zhu Zhuqing slowly walked toward the testing platform, drawing all eyes to her once again.
The disciples were eager to see what cultivation level the second lady of the Zhu family had reached.
Would she be at level 28, or higher? Everyone was curious, knowing that Zhu Zhuqing's talent was even greater than Zhu Zhuyun's.
Zhu Zhuqing stepped onto the testing platform and placed her hand on the blue crystal. Instantly, a brilliant blue light illuminated the area.
"Level 30?" Zhu Zihao couldn't help but cry out in shock from the platform.
He saw clearly that his precious daughter, Zhu Zhuqing, had reached level 30.
But when she left, she had only been at level 27. It had been less than three months since then.
To advance three levels in less than three months meant she was gaining one level per month. What kind of terrifying cultivation speed was that?
At twelve years old, she was already a Soul Elder. The Star Luo Empire had never seen such a genius before. Even the Xu family didn't have such talent.
On the platform, Zhu Zhuyun stared at her younger sister in shock, her expression filled with disbelief. She hadn't expected Zhu Zhuqing's cultivation to improve so rapidly—even she was taken aback.
"Sister, you've progressed quickly. But your cultivation is still not enough." Zhu Zhuyun concealed her emotions as she walked over to Zhu Zhuqing, her voice calm.
"Sister." Zhu Zhuqing was momentarily stunned, looking at Zhu Zhuyun with a dazed expression. She remembered how, when they were younger, her sister treated her the best. They used to sleep together. Zhuyun, being seven years older, was more mature and always cared for her. But things changed when she turned six.
Since then, her sister had grown distant and cold.
Often, they wouldn't even exchange words when they met.
"Everyone, leave now," Zhu Zihao commanded from the platform, addressing the disciples below. He had many questions for Zhu Zhuqing—about her cultivation and her relationship with the man. He needed to get to the bottom of it.
"Yes, sir," the disciples responded, their eyes still glancing at Zhu Zhuqing as they left. At twelve, she had already reached level 30. Even within the entire Zhu family and possibly the whole Star Luo Empire, such a genius was rare.
Zhu Zhuqing was the true pride of the Zhu family, outshining even Zhu Zhuyun.
As they left the platform, many disciples glanced back at the two sisters with burning eyes.
The two shared similar looks, both possessing stunning figures and exceptional talent.
What would it be like if they could win the favor of such talented women? How lucky could one get?
They couldn't help but feel disheartened that, being part of the Zhu family, these beautiful women were always claimed by members of the Dai family. Why should it be that way?
Once the disciples had dispersed, only Zhao Ming and Zi Ji remained in the square.
"Who is that man?" Zhu Zhuyun asked Zhu Zhuqing, her calm demeanor showing a hint of curiosity. She had clearly noticed how close the man was to Zhuqing.
"He's Zhuqing's boyfriend. My name is Zhao Ming," Zhao Ming replied with a smile, stepping forward to hold Zhu Zhuqing's hand.
He glanced at Zhu Zhuyun, feeling a slight stir of interest.
Zhu Zhuyun's figure was even more impressive than Zhu Zhuqing's. Her entire body was wrapped in tight black leather, perfectly highlighting her curves. Her chest was full, and her hips had a perfect, exaggerated curve. What was most striking, however, was that despite her voluptuous figure, her waist remained as slender as Zhuqing's, and her legs were long and toned.
Even a 36D would pale in comparison, Zhao Ming thought to himself.
Her figure was so captivating that, despite his experience with beautiful women, Zhao Ming couldn't help but steal a few more glances. However, he was only appreciating her beauty—he had no ill intentions toward Zhu Zhuyun. After all, she was Zhuqing's sister; how could he have improper thoughts about her?
"Boyfriend?" Zhu Zhuyun looked between Zhu Zhuqing and Zhao Ming, a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"Yes, he's my boyfriend." Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip slightly as she spoke, her voice firm.
