Douluo: Starting from the engagement with Zhu Zhuqing.

Chapter 20 Zhu Zhuqing

"who is it?"

Dai Yao thought, who is it so late?

Since the duel, although some people have come to him and said they want to support him, according to the evaluation of his third uncle Dai Hengyu, these people are just people who follow the crowd.

Once they accept their allegiance, they might use the name of the Fourth Prince to bully and dominate the market and ruin his reputation.

So he refused without hesitation.

When we came to the courtyard, the moon was bright, the stars were sparse, and the remaining snow had not disappeared.

Opening the door, you will see a beautiful picture.

The woman in front of her raised her head slightly, revealing her delicate and pretty face.

She is shorter than Dai Yao, but her slim figure can already be seen.

Her skin was white and rosy, her nose was straight and her lips were slightly raised, but her crystal clear eyes were filled with a chilling coldness.

The bright moonlight hit her waterfall-like long hair, hazy and extremely beautiful.

"Zhu Zhuqing?" Dai Yao said in surprise.

He had made an engagement with Zhu Zhuqing not long ago, and today was the day to fulfill the engagement.

The maid next to her leaned over and said to Zhu Zhuqing: "Fourth Imperial Concubine, this is Your Highness the Fourth Highness." She looked at Dai Yao and slowly backed away: "If Your Highnesses have nothing else to do, I will leave first."

"Go and do your work." Looking at Zhu Zhuqing who had no intention of speaking, Dai Yao coughed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed, and then said to the palace maid.

He walked in front, Zhu Zhuqing behind, and there was only the sound of footsteps on the broken snow in the cold palace.

When Zhu Zhuqing was introduced into the house, he remained silent and there was an awkward atmosphere between the two of them. It's like two young people on a blind date who don't know what to talk about.

Zhu Zhuqing has a cold temper and doesn't like to talk. Dai Yao didn't know what to say.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person and had never held hands with a girl. Now he was sitting with a beautiful and fragrant woman. His hands were not trembling, so he was pretty good.

He prepared tea, but still didn't know what to say. Zhu Zhuqing didn't say anything, and the awkward atmosphere became more and more intense.

Dai Yao was extremely nervous. He felt more nervous talking to a girl than fighting Dai Mubai.

Gritting his teeth, Dai Yao stumbled and said, "Your name is Zhu Zhuqing. Can I call you Zhuqing from now on?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, staring at him with a pair of big bright eyes.

Dai Yao simply risked his life and spoke more and more smoothly: "My name is Dai Yao, I am six years old this year. My mother unfortunately passed away on the day I was born. I don't have a strong maternal clan like Dai Mubai, so I cannot give you a very generous life."

"The fifth elder said that it is the fate of every prince to be engaged to a girl from the Zhu family."

"It's just that I don't know whether you are willing or not?"

Zhu Zhuqing said nothing and looked complicated.

Looking at her expression, Dai Yao understood in his heart that just like two men and women on blind dates, it is very difficult for them to see each other in the eyes from the beginning.

He sighed secretly in his heart, turned around and said, "I'm going to order you to prepare a room for you to rest at night."

And the moment he turned around, a Ling Ran murderous intention went straight to his neck.

Alarm bells blared in his mind, and without time to think, Dai Yao quickly performed his explosive step, lowered his body, and rolled forward.

Ding--

The sure blow fell into the air.

Dai Yao looked back and saw that Zhu Zhuqing was already possessed by martial spirit. His body was like a civet cat. He lowered his body and held the blade in one hand, making an attack gesture.

He said in disbelief: "You want to kill me?"

If he hadn't reacted quickly to the blow just now, he would have been dismembered!

Immediately afterwards, raging anger arose in Dai Yao's heart, his blood surged up, the bloodshot eyes were clearly visible, his expression became extremely ferocious, and his tone was like the cold air from Jiuyou: "You... actually want to kill me!!!"

From childhood to adulthood, he grew up in the shadow of the queen and was always afraid. Now he has awakened his twin martial souls, became the fourth prince, won the duel, and entered into a marriage contract with Zhu Zhuqing.

A bright future seemed to be beckoning to him, but it was still shrouded in the shadow of the Queen.

In his imagination, he and Zhu Zhuqing will support each other and rely on each other to go through the difficult years in the future. After meeting Zhu Zhuqing, he was preparing to have a frank talk with her to eliminate the barriers in the future.

But unexpectedly, Zhu Zhuqing's first reaction was to kill him!

My heart is towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch. Sincerity fed the dog, so he gave up his anger.

In an instant, Wuhun possessed him, and with explosive steps, he captured Zhu Zhuqing with one hand.

Zhu Zhuqing has not yet obtained the soul ring, so he is no match for Dai Yao. In front of Dai Yao, his soul power cannot function normally, let alone in a narrow room.

With just a few moves, Dai Yao shattered all Zhu Zhuqing's attacks.

One hand grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's swan-like neck.

"Tell me, why do you want to kill me?" Dai Yao's tone was extremely cold.

Zhu Zhuqing was held up in the air by Dai Yao with one hand. His neck was pinched so hard that he could not speak.

"You haven't said it yet, have you?"

Zhu Zhuqing held Dai Yao's palm with both hands and said nothing, just looked at Dai Yao's eyes quietly, and crystal tears fell down her face.

Dai Yao sighed, put Zhu Zhuqing down, and said, "Go ahead. I will explain the engagement to the Council of Elders."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Yao in disbelief, not expecting that Dai Yao would let her go.

She walked to the door step by step. When she came to the door, she hesitated, with a complicated look on her face, and then turned around and returned to the house.

At this time, Dai Yao was still upset. After all, it was Zhu Zhuqing. As long as he was more cruel, he could keep her by his side. But thinking of Zhu Zhuqing's inexplicable murderous intention, he still chose to give up.

Hearing the footsteps outside the door and looking at Zhu Zhuqing who was leaving and returning, Dai Yao asked in surprise: "Why are you back again?"

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were a little dodgey and he explained:

"I'm sorry, Dai Yao. The Queen came to me yesterday and said that as long as I kill you, I will be free."

"Freedom, what freedom?"

"The Queen has promised me the right to break away from the engagement. If I don't marry any prince, I won't have to participate in the cruel competition for the throne."

Dai Yao snorted coldly, she was so naive, she actually thought she could get rid of her fate by killing him. The consequences of killing the prince must be that he will be buried with him.

But then something clicked in his mind and he realized this was an opportunity.

He calmly pulled back the clothes on his chest slightly, exposed his chest, pointed to his heart on the left side and said:

"Just stab here, stick your knife an inch in here, and you'll be free. Will you stab or not?"

Dai Yao's tone was calm and indifferent, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter. Although he looked calm, he was actually very nervous inside. After all, you are gambling with your life.

This action startled Zhu Zhuqing, and he took a few steps back with a look of horror.

"I give you two choices. You can either kill me now and pursue your own freedom, or you can fulfill your engagement. From now on, we will support each other and face the future together." Dai Yao said.
