Douluo: Goddess Life Simulator, Qian Renxue Is Addicted

Zhou Sheng'an tried to run out of the imperial palace, but the palace guards stopped him. Without an imperial decree, he was not allowed to leave, so he had no choice but to follow the Star Luo Emperor's arrangements and move into a palace residence.

From this alone, it was clear that the Star Luo Emperor was far more forceful than the Heaven Dou Empire's Emperor Xue Ye and the rulers of other kingdoms and duchies.

When he said he wanted to keep Zhou Sheng'an, he truly meant it.

Not only could Zhou Sheng'an not leave, but his followers couldn't even get in!

Feeling helpless, Zhou Sheng'an paced around the room.

His current strength wasn't enough to escape the imperial palace, and at the banquet, he had sensed the treacherous undercurrents within the Star Luo royal family.

Empress Zhu was definitely not a woman willing to remain mediocre.

There was ambition in her eyes, and her bold teasing of him was certainly not driven by emotion.

'Will I still be able to stay safe in Star Luo City?'

Creak…

The window opened, and a figure suddenly slipped inside.

Seeing the sudden arrival of Spirit Kite Douluo, the worry on Zhou Sheng'an's face disappeared instantly.

He smiled and asked, "Lingyuan, why are you here? Sneaking into the Star Luo imperial palace is quite dangerous."

Spirit Kite Douluo didn't answer immediately. Instead, she leaned in close to Zhou Sheng'an and sniffed his neck.

Then, she lifted Zhou Sheng'an's chin, narrowed her eyes, and asked, "A woman's scent… and it's the empress's scent? Care to explain?"

She stepped forward, pressing herself against him, staring straight into his eyes.

Zhou Sheng'an's face turned red. He could feel the softness of her body, as if he were pressed against cotton… It must be incredibly comfortable to rest on.

Although they had acknowledged their feelings, the two were still completely innocent.

"Lingyuan, you…"

"What about me? I'm going to take you right here in the Star Luo imperial palace!" Spirit Kite Douluo rose on her toes, her red lips brushing against Zhou Sheng'an's ear as she whispered heatedly.

"!!!" Zhou Sheng'an's pupils shrank.

[Zhou Sheng'an experienced an unforgettable night.]

...

In the latter half of the night, Spirit Kite Douluo still hadn't left. She was now fully dressed, standing by the window.

"My dear Grand Sage Master, the Star Luo Emperor is a crude bastard. He won't let you leave easily."

"I know… The situation is complicated," Zhou Sheng'an said with a bitter smile.

Spirit Kite Douluo continued, "If worst comes to worst, I can just take you away. But your followers would be left behind. Not that it really matters—it's not like they're of any use. All they do is cause trouble."

"They mean well," Zhou Sheng'an defended them.

"Mean well? I've noticed something. Every time you visit a new place, the nobles shower them with gifts, and they accept almost everything! This time, you came to Star Luo City to meet the emperor, and they met with the nobles instead!"

Spirit Kite Douluo sneered.

Zhou Sheng'an shook his head. He had already made it clear before—he would never establish any kind of organization.

Even though he had many followers, he had always insisted on refusing to create any sect, school, or religious order!

...

"Enjoy your fleeting happiness while you can!"

Right now, Zhou Sheng'an and Spirit Kite Douluo were growing ever closer, but he would never have imagined—Spirit Kite Douluo was her person! The one she was most loyal to was her!

Bibi Dong's expression was wild with excitement, her chest rising and falling.

She had finally almost reached this moment!

The suffering she had once endured—she would make Zhou Sheng'an experience it all!

When that time came, Zhou Sheng'an would surely fall like a comet crashing to the ground!

Bibi Dong opened Zhou Sheng'an's status panel and saw that Spirit Kite Douluo's favorability had already reached ninety-three—pure, passionate love.

"What kind of face will Zhou Sheng'an make when he realizes that both he and Spirit Ktie Douluo have been tainted?"

Bibi Dong couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The very reality she feared facing the most—the original sin that had kept her from seeing Yu Xiaogang for decades—was about to be inflicted upon someone else.

This perverse sense of revenge satisfied her twisted heart!

"Fall into despair! Burn with fury! And then sink into oblivion!"

Bibi Dong clutched her stomach, laughing hysterically until tears streamed down her face. She laughed so much that, in the end, she could no longer tell whether she was laughing or crying.

...

The next morning, Zhou Sheng'an was summoned again to have breakfast with the emperor and empress.

To ministers and practically everyone else, this was a great honor.

But for Zhou Sheng'an, the Grand Sage Master, it was nothing short of humiliation.

A holy man of the mortal realm, yet he had to dine with an emperor and accommodate his whims?

Zhou Sheng'an didn't show any anger. He remained composed, chatting and laughing as he ate. Midway through the meal, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I must take my leave from Star Luo City. It is time for me to travel elsewhere and continue my lectures."

The Star Luo Emperor waved his hand and said, "There's no need for that, Sage Master Zhou."

"You should stay in Star Luo City. I will build the largest lecture hall in the world for you. That way, anyone who wishes to hear your teachings can fit inside! You won't have to travel around anymore."

Before Zhou Sheng'an could refuse, the emperor changed the subject. "Oh, by the way, I would also like to ask you to take on a few disciples. Come in."

At his words, the palace doors swung open.

Two pairs of men and women stepped inside—both men had golden hair, and the women had black hair and ample figures.

"These are my two children and their fiancées. Their names are Davis, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuyun, and Zhu Zhuqing. They are all exceptionally gifted. I hope you will take them as your students and guide their cultivation."

Zhou Sheng'an politely declined, waving his hand. "Your Majesty, I am still young and need to further my own studies. I lack the ability and time to take on disciples."

"Nonsense! If even you are unfit to take students, then who in this world is qualified? Don't refuse, Sage Master Zhou. I also intend to appoint you as the National Preceptor of the Star Luo Empire!"

The Star Luo Emperor's tone was domineering, leaving no room for rejection.

Zhou Sheng'an had no choice but to agree.

...

[Douluo Calendar, March 24, 2024—The Star Luo Emperor planned to appoint Zhou Sheng'an as the National Preceptor. During the ceremony, the palace gates were flung open, and an army of soul masters stormed in, assassinating the Star Luo Emperor. The emperor fell, and Star Luo descended into chaos!]

The entire city of Star Luo was in turmoil.

Somehow, Zhou Sheng'an's followers had managed to establish connections with the imperial guards. They stormed the palace and slaughtered the Star Luo Emperor on the spot!

Zhou Sheng'an had completely lost control of the situation. Everyone had gone mad with killing.

The grand ceremony hall was bathed in blood.

His followers were ruthlessly massacring the royal family.

Zhou Sheng'an watched with his own eyes as his supposed disciple, Davis, was cut down in a single strike.

In the midst of the chaos, someone suddenly draped an imperial robe over Zhou Sheng'an's shoulders.

Horrified, Zhou Sheng'an was about to remove it when a hand pressed down on his.

"The Star Luo Emperor is dead! Sage Master, you must create an empire of everlasting peace where all are like dragons! We are your most devoted believers!"

Zhou Sheng'an turned his head to look at the follower before him.

Their face was covered in blood, but their eyes burned with an unwavering, fanatical light.

He fell into deep thought.
