Zhu Zhuyun had always been very resistant to any intimate advances from Dai Weisi.
Even though they had a marriage contract, Zhu Zhuyun had never acknowledged him.
In fact, in Zhu Zhuyun's opinion, if it weren't for his age advantage, Dai Weisi might not even be as good as Dai Mubai.
Moreover, the most crucial point was that in the Star Luo Empire's succession struggle, men of the Dai family faced only death if they failed.
However, for the women of the Zhu family, if they gained the favor of the victor, there was still a chance to survive.
They would simply be treated as spoils of war and remain forever in the deep palace; almost every generation was like this.
Of course, a very important prerequisite for gaining the victor's approval was to remain pure and untainted.
The reason Zhu Zhuyun had never accepted Dai Weisi was to leave herself a way out.
Even if the hope of Dai Mubai making a comeback was very slim, what if?
The excuse Zhu Zhuyun used to fend off Dai Weisi's advances was that she would only truly belong to him once he genuinely became the Star Luo Emperor's heir.
Having such a beautiful and enchanting fiancée, yet being able to look but not touch, made Dai Weisi incredibly frustrated, and he could only vent his anger on other women.
Now, seeing Dai Mubai return to Star Luo City in disgrace, accompanied by a group of useless subordinates, Dai Weisi instantly confirmed that the other party posed no threat to him.
It was precisely for this reason that Dai Weisi eagerly rushed to the Zhu family mansion.
He wanted to tell Zhu Zhuyun this good news and, at the same time, take the opportunity to win her over in one fell swoop.
Dai Weisi prattled on about his advantages, and in his words, the Star Luo throne seemed to be within easy reach.
However, Dai Weisi did not notice that as he described the future, Zhu Zhuyun's eyes became obscure.
If it were before, Zhu Zhuyun would naturally be very happy to hear this news.
After all, being able to survive this cruel succession struggle and even become the Star Luo Empress was certainly a joyous occasion.
But now she had seen many hidden things in Luo Ye's diary.
She knew very well that even if she could become the Star Luo Empress in the future, she probably wouldn't be able to maintain it for long and would die with the demise of the Star Luo Empire.
Zhu Zhuyun was still in the prime of her youth, and since there were other better paths to take, she naturally refused to embark on this dead end.
Rather than staying in the Star Luo Empire, she was more willing to take a gamble and stake her life on Luo Ye.
Zhu Zhuyun's idea was certainly not an impulsive act, but a decision made after careful consideration.
Not to mention that Luo Ye was a reborn person with memories of his past life, allowing him to gain an advantage in many matters through foreknowledge.
Just a mysterious diary alone had significantly increased the probability of Luo Ye defeating Tang San and his group and overthrowing the God Realm's rule.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuyun directly interrupted Dai Weisi's self-praise and looked at him, saying,
"Our previous agreement was to engage in such intimate acts only after you completely defeated Dai Mubai in the succession struggle."
"Even if you now have a significant advantage, it doesn't mean Dai Mubai has no power to retaliate."
"According to the information I've received, several young geniuses are accompanying Dai Mubai back to Star Luo City this time."
"And besides those two Spirit Saints, there's even a Titled Douluo."
Initially, upon hearing Zhu Zhuyun reject him once again, Dai Weisi was enraged and wanted to force Zhu Zhuyun to fully accept him.
But after hearing her subsequent words, Dai Weisi no longer cared about such matters.
Dai Weisi's pupils suddenly constricted, and he looked at Zhu Zhuyun in shock, exclaiming,
"Are you telling the truth?"
"This must be fake, right? How could that good-for-nothing Dai Mubai possibly be acquainted with a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse?"
Dai Weisi was somewhat flustered.
It was important to know that in the succession struggle, it wasn't just their own strength that mattered; it was evaluated based on overall performance.
So, when Dai Mubai was forced to flee by him, it became very difficult for him to gain the approval of the Star Luo Emperor and the various court officials.
But if things were truly as Zhu Zhuyun said, that Dai Mubai had befriended a Titled Douluo and even brought him into the Star Luo Empire, then things would be completely different.
In the eyes of others, Dai Mubai would no longer be seen as a coward who chose to flee when faced with difficulties, but rather as someone who knew how to adapt, using this method to turn the tide and instantly reverse the situation.
Watching Dai Weisi feign composure but barely conceal his panic, Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but secretly chuckle, though she showed no outward sign, instead nodding and saying in a deep voice,
"At least, that's the information I've received."
"So, for you and me, the current situation actually holds very little advantage."
Upon receiving a definite answer from Zhu Zhuyun, the smile on Dai Weisi's face instantly vanished, and his mood plummeted.
"How could this be? Why? Why can that good-for-nothing Dai Mubai know a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse? What did that person see in him?"
Dai Weisi couldn't understand, pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan.
Zhu Zhuyun just wanted to quickly send Dai Weisi away, then secretly sneak to the Heaven Dou Empire, heading to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
So she thought for a moment and said in as gentle a tone as possible,
"The most important thing for you right now is to find a way to win over that Titled Douluo to our side and have him support you."
"After all, for our Star Luo Empire, having a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse is definitely something that can change many people's attitudes."
"Although I don't know what method Dai Mubai used to gain the Titled Douluo's approval, the chips you can offer are definitely better and more attractive than Dai Mubai's."
Dai Weisi felt that Zhu Zhuyun's words made a lot of sense.
He had already seen the hope of winning the succession struggle and would absolutely not allow Dai Mubai to turn the tables.
Thinking of this, Dai Weisi no longer thought solely about matters of men and women. After bidding farewell to Zhu Zhuyun, he hurriedly left.
Watching him leave, Zhu Zhuyun let out a deep sigh of relief, becoming even more certain that she could not remain in the Star Luo Empire.
"My silly sister, I know you want to defeat Gu Yuena and Qian Renxue and claim the position of empress."
"However, it would be very difficult for you to achieve this with just your own abilities, so let your elder sister help you one more time."
