The Zhu Family of the Xingluo Empire!
"Sister, what are you reading?"
At night, a young cat cub quietly perched on the window. Inside the room, a young cat girl was reading a book with great relish, occasionally emitting eerie laughter.
"Zhu Qing?"
"Why are you here, sister, so late at night?"
Cat girl Zhu Zhuyun closed the book and spoke cautiously. She had stolen this book from her mother, who treasured it.
Heard it had come from the Heaven Dou Empire, and Zhu Zhuyun, curious, stole the book while her mother was out to examine it.
The book's descriptions were breathtaking, and the awkward illustrations made her blush. Thirteen years old was still a little young, and she couldn't understand many of the details. For example, one illustration showed a man and a woman engaging in bizarre behavior. The woman was tied up and suspended in mid-air, while the man lay flat on the ground, her body alternately raised and lowered, and her anus was the one receiving the penis.
The cat girl pondered after reading this: How could the anus, used for excretion, be used to serve a man?
The Xingluo royal family had been intermarried with the Zhu family for generations, and Zhu women had been taught how to serve men since age ten. The cat girl, who had been learning for two and a half years, was shocked.
Even more unacceptable was that her mother secretly read pornographic novels, completely shattering her usual image as a noble mother.
One day, she unexpectedly caught her mother drooling over a book cover.
"I can't sleep. My father said the Third Prince will be home tomorrow, and I don't like him," the young cat cub Zhu Zhuqing pouted in dissatisfaction.
"The Third Prince is coming?"
Zhu Zhuyun's face froze at the words.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Zhu Zhuqing asked with concern, seeing her sister's pale face.
"No, it's okay. Come, I'll sleep with you tonight."
The Last Night...
Late at night, Zhu Zhuyun caressed her sister's innocent and lovely face. Tomorrow they would be enemies, enemies to the death.
She sincerely hoped that tomorrow Zhu Zhuqing would awaken a useless martial spirit. Being an ordinary person would be fine.
...
The next day!
"Zhuqing, put your hand on it."
Marshal Zhu, the head of the Zhu family, led Zhu Zhuqing to the hall. Zhu Zhuqing saw the Third Prince, Dai Mubai, whom she hated.
"Hmm..."
Zhu Zhuqing reached out her hands and touched the crystal ball.
Zhu Zhuyun, standing by, paled when she saw her sister awaken the Netherworld Spirit Cat. Soon, her innate eighth-level soul power talent made her look even more pale.
The talent was exactly the same as hers.
What was coming finally came.
Compared to Zhu Zhuyun's heartache, Third Prince Dai Mubai was quite excited. The higher Zhu Zhuqing's talent, the greater his chances of winning.
"Where are you going?"
Outside the hall, the eldest prince, Davis, folded his arms and followed Zhu Zhuyun out of the Zhu residence.
"Don't follow me,"
Zhu Zhuyun replied coldly.
"Alright, but I must remind you, this is fate. You can't escape it."
Being born into a royal family, Davis understood the cruelty of the world better than Zhu Zhuyun. As long as he could become emperor, what did his brother matter?
Somewhere in a secret garden, a stunning lady sat on the grass, perusing a green book.
"Today seems to be the day Zhuqing awakens her martial spirit. Hmm... never mind."
The lady, clad in a purple dress, her fiery figure towered over Zhu Zhuyun, like a fusion of an angel and a witch. Her elegant features and witch-like figure added a touch of allure.
She was the mistress of the Zhu family, named Xu Yueyin, and hailed from the Xingluo Xu Clan.
Xu Yueyin loathed the rules of both the Zhu and Dai families. While the Gu-like training method was effective, allowing siblings to fight each other was too cold-blooded. Unable to control her, she simply hid in the secret garden, staying company with Ah Man every day.
After getting rid of Davis, Zhu Zhuyun found Xu Yueyin in the secret garden.
"Mother, Zhuqing and I have the same innate soul power as level eight."
Zhu Zhuyun stood expressionlessly behind her mother. She had been fine yesterday, yet in the blink of an eye, she had become an enemy. She couldn't accept it.
"Oh, so, are you going to attack her?"
Xu Yueyin didn't turn around. She tried to appear calm, but her slightly trembling body betrayed her.
"I... don't know..."
Zhu Zhuyun shook her head. She wanted to steel herself and say yes, but the words faltered.
"Go away. I won't be returning to the Zhu family. Your affairs have nothing to do with me."
Xu Yueyin couldn't stop the two sisters from killing each other in the future. Overthinking it would only add to her worries. Wasn't the younger sister in the palace thinking the same thing?
These ridiculous family rules. Years of training methods weren't even one-tenth as good as the Spirit Hall's. Faced with the Spirit Hall's pressure, the Xingluo Empire was no different from the Tiandou Empire, barely surviving.
"Mother, I want to go to the Tiandou Empire."
After much deliberation, Zhu Zhuyun finally mustered the courage to speak her mind.
"You want to go to the Tiandou Empire?"
"Give me a reason."
Xu Yueyin was somewhat surprised by her eldest daughter's words. After all, she was seven years older than Zhu Zhuqing. No matter how you looked at her, she couldn't lose. Why would she go to the Tiandou Empire?
"Because... this."
Zhu Zhuyun pulled out a green book.
"This... this... how dare you, Zhu Zhuyun, steal my things? Is this something you can't handle?"
Xu Yueyin was completely mortified when the green book appeared. Furious, she snatched it away and shouted.
"I'm going to Blue Tyrant Academy."
Yu A Man had advertised Blue Tyrant Academy in the book. Zhu Zhuyun had just reached the age to attend the Advanced Spirit Master Academy. She hadn't slept all night. She had made up her mind: if Zhu Zhuqing awakened her useless spirit, she would marry Davis. After becoming empress, she would take care of Zhu Zhuqing for the rest of her life.
Another plan was to leave the Star Luo Empire. Without her help, Davis wouldn't have an easy time becoming crown prince. As long as Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai worked hard, they had a better chance than Davis.
"You're almost level 30, right? Mother will take you to the Star Dou Forest to find a suitable spirit ring."
Xu Yueyin neither agreed nor refused. Both mother and daughter were intelligent, and everything was self-evident.
