In a detached courtyard in the west of Soto City.
Since the 'soul beast' wreaked havoc, a large portion of the residents in the wealthy area had moved away. Property prices plummeted, and Zhu Zhuqing seized the opportunity to buy another villa.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound echoed in the air.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes sharpened, her sharp claws carrying immense force, shattering a wooden stake into pieces
with a single blow. Sweat beaded on her forehead, and she breathed heavily, her chest rising and falling with each breath.
Sweat continuously dripped down, soaking her clothes, which clung tightly to her skin, revealing her fair complexion.
Lu Feng lay leisurely on a nearby recliner.
Watching a beautiful woman train was a pleasure.
Especially since, after his persuasion, Zhu Zhuqing finally believed that long-term chest binding would affect normal physical development.
However, Lu Feng's mind wasn't on Zhu Zhuqing; instead, he was lost in thought, perfecting his plan.
The beginning of one lie meant countless more lies to cover it up.
Originally, Lu Feng only wanted to conceal his abilities. His cheat ability to collect fragments was his biggest trump card, so naturally he wouldn't reveal it to anyone.
Dugu Bo couldn't, Dugu Yan couldn't, and
Zhu Zhuqing certainly couldn't either.
In the original story, Tang San's Xuan Tian Gong wasn't even taught to Xiao Wu or Tang Hao. Even after he founded the Tang Sect and achieved dual godhood, he only left behind a simplified version of the technique.
"The Mirror Beast theory is barely tenable. Besides Matthew, Su Yuntao, Qian Renxue, and that Spirit Hall bishop, no one knows what kind of spirit beast their first spirit ring came from."
"Sigh, this is really troublesome."
Lu Feng shifted his body, finding a more comfortable position.
After a thorough discussion with Zhu Zhuqing, he gained a more comprehensive understanding of the Star Luo Dai family.
The Netherworld White Tiger Fusion Technique was a strategic weapon for the Star Luo Empire. Any member of the two families capable of using the fusion technique, even if they lost in the competition for the throne, wouldn't be eliminated.
Her third sister and the second prince met with accidents shortly after they met.
"Using the Mirror Beast's explanation, I can now reveal two martial souls: the Finger Tiger Martial Soul and the White Tiger Martial Soul."
"Only Zhu Zhuqing has seen the White Tiger. This little girl is practically one of us now, so she's trustworthy."
Lu Feng looked at the sweat-drenched Zhu Zhuqing, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.
She's really working hard.
"What I said about ascending the throne was all improvised. But thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem impossible."
"My cheat ability is picking up fragments. If I had the help of a powerful force to deliver those fragments to me, wouldn't that be wonderful?"
"Compared to creating my own force, taking the Star Luo throne is indeed a good choice."
"However, the identity of Dai Si is somewhat untenable. If the Star Luo royal family wants to investigate someone, they could probably find out even what color underwear they wore as a child."
Lu Feng stroked his chin, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes thoughtful.
"Pah! Pervert!"
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing finished her training.
She glanced up and saw Lu Feng staring intently at her. A surge of embarrassment and annoyance welled up inside her, and she couldn't help but let out a soft spit.
Sweat streamed down her forehead like broken beads. She was soaked through, revealing large expanses of fair skin, her clothes clinging tightly to her body, outlining her graceful figure.
Her breasts trembled slightly, rising and falling with her breath, gleaming alluringly in the sunlight.
Zhu Zhuqing quickly left the courtyard, her face flushed crimson like a ripe apple.
Lu Feng watched Zhu Zhuqing's figure disappear completely, his purple glint fading from his eyes.
He swore to himself!
He really had just been thinking about something.
However, since Zhu Zhuqing had uttered those insults, he couldn't allow himself to be falsely accused.
Gazing at the white clouds on the horizon, Lu Feng's thoughts drifted far away.

"The Netherworld White Tiger has been exposed to the public eye, and I believe the Star Luo Royal Family will receive the news soon. However, they will most likely assume it's the combination of Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing."
"So the question is, how can I get Dai Mubai to keep this a secret?"
Lu Feng recalled his several encounters with Dai Mubai, none of which seemed friendly.
"Back in the Soul Hunting Market, Dai Mubai flirted with Ye Lingling, and I only slightly intervened. However, it was precisely this first meeting that created our enmity."
"Those two Soul Master assassins, without a doubt, were sent by him."
Lu Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, his face expressionless.
That battle was the most difficult one he had ever faced.
With only a level 20+ Soul Power, he faced a Soul Master going all out. His
poison damage wasn't enough, and he had no chance to use his hidden weapons. He couldn't win head-on, and more importantly, he couldn't escape.
"Dai Mubai should have recognized me by now, after our last few meetings. He was just incredibly patient, even disregarding his own fiancée."
To be honest, Dai Mubai was the most ruthless Soul Master Lu Feng had ever met.
He was ruthless not only to others, but even more ruthless to himself!
"If Dai Mubai were a self-destructive good-for-nothing like in the original story, that would be one thing. But he's sinister, like a venomous snake, ready to bite you at any moment."
"If I killed Dai Mubai and then switched him with someone else, it wouldn't arouse any suspicion."
"With the help of the Star Luo royal family, even if I didn't become emperor, my fragment collection speed would increase dramatically."
"Hard work collecting fragments is nowhere near as fast as just stealing them!"
A glint of light flashed in Lu Feng's eyes. He lightly tapped the armrest of his chair with his left hand, then picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.
His consciousness immersed itself in the fragment warehouse, where three black [Disguise] skill fragments lay quietly in the corner.
"Achoo!"
At Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai sneezed several times in succession.
"That's strange, is some girl thinking about me again?" Dai Mubai rubbed his nose, puzzled.
"Haha, Boss Dai, don't tell me you worked too hard last night and caught a cold." Ma Hongjun patted his belly and laughed.
"You fatso, say that again and see what happens? Want me to help you relieve your pent-up desire?" Dai Mubai sneered.
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun quickly shook his head and said with a grin, "Boss Dai, I was wrong. My little body can't withstand your favor."
"Ugh~!"
Oscar, who was listening to the conversation between the two, immediately pretended to gag.
"You two are disgusting, get away from me, don't infect me."
As he spoke, Oscar quickly ran away.
"Little Oscar, why haven't you been playing with us lately?" Ma Hongjun looked at Oscar's back and asked in confusion.
Dai Mubai crossed his arms and said nonchalantly, "He's got his eye on Ning Rongrong, huh? But the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, is she someone a support-type Soul Master like him can mess with?"
"Oh, Boss Dai, is there anything else going on here?"
Dai Mubai shook his head. "None of your business. Come on, Fatty, I've arranged to meet those twins today, but whether you can win them over depends on your own abilities."
"Hehehe, Boss Dai is awesome!" Ma Hongjun chuckled lewdly.
Dai Mubai glanced at Ma Hongjun and laughed, "They're just two clothes I'm tired of playing with, Fatty, you're my brother."
"Alright! Boss Dai, from now on you're my real brother!"
