Zhu Zhuyun removed her shoes and untied her smooth black hair, which cascaded down her back like ink, covering her fair and delicate skin. She discarded the cumbersome leather clothes and inner armor, revealing her white skin.

With her jade hand, she flicked a switch, casting a warm yellow light that bathed the room, creating a cozy atmosphere. The owner of this room, known for his cold personality, preferred this unique ambiance—quiet, warm, and unassuming.

Warm water sprayed from the shower, and a sense of tranquility appeared on Zhu Zhuyun's face. It was only at this moment that she felt like Zhu Zhuyun, not the "Princess Zhu Zhuyun of Star Luo Empire" as others called her. It felt empowering to be in control. Zhu Zhuyun never expected it to be so wonderful.

Her fiancé, Davis, had opened up to her without warning, revealing everything. According to normal logic, she should also tell Davis the truth about everything. But how could a white tiger defeat a sinister and cunning dragon?.

Moreover, the white tiger hadn't even seen the evil dragon lurking in the darkness. Arrogant, complacent, and excessively confident, she had focused on a wrong option, trying to find the correct answer within it. Little did she know that the person who proposed this wrong option was a mistake in itself.

If Davis could eliminate Dai Mubai and her younger sister Zhu Zhuqing together, it would also be beneficial. That way, once the plan was complete, her pawn would be the only one left. Only when something is indispensable does it become more precious.

Not to mention "I don't even know what the other party is planning!" Zhu Zhuyun sighed faintly.

Her slender fingers glided along her collarbone, slipping into the cleavage and moving downward. Zhu Zhuyun wasn't sure if she would become an abandoned child but if there were no other pawns to choose from, she wouldn't be a sacrificial lamb either.

As for the chess player's promise, her jade legs trembled slightly. Zhu Zhuyun raised her head, squinting her eyes, and thought to herself, "I'll just pretend that the other party didn't make any good promises."

After all, all she wanted was her own life. If things escalated to that point, Davis could only blame himself for not being strong enough.

After all, Davis wasn't her loyal subordinate, right?. Squinting her eyes, Zhu Zhuyun suddenly noticed a young man standing in front of her. He wore a black robe, had one eye embedded in his forehead, carried a large yellow squirrel on his shoulder, and held a shoulder bag. He looked at her with a strange expression.

"Ah!" she unconsciously let out a scream, but Zhu Zhuyun quickly suppressed it, covering herself with the bathrobe to preserve her modesty.

"I apologize for disturbing your elegant mood," the young man gracefully bowed, calmly pushed open the bathroom door, and left without seeing anything. As he exited, he intimately closed the door and added, "I wish you a happy life."

Her heart raced as if a herd of alpacas stampeded through it. If someone were to ask Zhu Zhuyun at that moment, "What is the thing you want to do most?" she would undoubtedly reply without hesitation, "Erase the memory of what just happened." As long as she wasn't embarrassed, it would be the other party who felt embarrassed.

After a while, Zhu Zhuyun emerged from the bathroom fully dressed. With her unhurried and composed demeanor, combined with her graceful and luxurious attire, this place no longer felt like a boudoir but rather the palace of the Star Luo Empire.

And not just an ordinary palace—according to Zhu Zhuyun's current aura, she still possessed the presence of a royal queen. Of course, it was all an act. Fortunately, Lu Yuan didn't see through her facade.

If he did, he might turn the other party's irritation into anger and ask, "Don't you have any self-control?" How would she respond then? It would only lead to more embarrassment. So, she decided to forget about it and act as if nothing had happened. After all, she wouldn't be the one suffering the consequences.

However, Lu Yuan didn't seem to notice. In fact, his own thinking had undergone some changes. In the past, his immediate reaction would have been to coldly drag Zhu Zhuyun out. But now, he chose a more rational and tactful approach to deal with the situation.

Understanding his intention, Zhu Zhuyun reached out and pulled a small box out from the space in front of her chest. She opened it to reveal a multitude of document bags neatly arranged inside.

"These contain all the forces formed by my subordinates," she said. "And some more important information."

While casually browsing through the contents, Lu Yuan seemed to casually inquire, "Do you have any information about Heaven Dou Prince?"

"Yes, I do." Zhu Zhuyun carefully selected a file and placed it on the table. They both silently perused its contents, and the room fell into temporary silence.

However, the silence didn't last long. Lu Yuan gently placed the document back on the table, disappointment evident on his face, despite his attempts to conceal it. It had surpassed his expectations, but not by much.

The document only detailed Prince Xue Qinghe's activities and included certain speculations. It was clear that Zhu Zhuyun's intelligence network was highly developed. Penetrating any empire was no easy task. Those who managed to infiltrate the imperial court were the cream of the crop, capable of influencing the course of a war.

Yet, they still hadn't grasped the true essence of the situation. Why had no one suspected Heaven Dou Prince's true identity? Why did so few pay attention to the avalanche of dudes?.

From the very beginning, they had misplaced their focus. However, if these people could discover Xue Qinghe's true identity as Qian Renxue, Zhu Zhuyun doubted she would be able to relay that information back.

If she could, it would only prove that a big fish had taken the bait. And by fish, she didn't mean the Spirit Hall, but rather the intelligence network she had cultivated by borrowing resources from others.

Besides Qian Renxue, there were two Title Douluo cards on the surface, and there might even be support forces from the Spirit Hall urking in the shadows. Even ordinary Titled Douluo would struggle to escape from such a lineup, let alone intelligence personnel whose cultivation was under Spirit Doulou. If anyone managed to discover their identities and survived, they would undoubtedly be used as bait. There was no doubt about it.

Sensing the disappointment on Lu Yuan's face, Zhu Zhuyun's heart tightened. This expression clearly indicated dissatisfaction. And the price of that dissatisfaction might be... She would be seen as a useless discarded child and ultimately eliminated. Her sister Zhu Zhuqing, who held an equal status to her, would undoubtedly take her place.

Moreover, Zhu Zhuyun secretly glanced at the Lu Yuan's appearance and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He was the right age, had a good appearance and figure, and possessed a cool temperament. Her sister Zhu Zhuqing had a fatal attraction to most young men.

Although she wasn't sure if Lu Yuan in front of her was moved, Zhu Zhuyun believed her sister wouldn't be foolish enough to refuse. With an 80% chance of survival, who would bet on a mere 10%?.

Many foolish choices are often driven by the harsh realities they face. If there were more options available, as long as one possessed basic wisdom, they could live without worry.

So, where was her advantage? This advantage had to be prominent enough to overshadow her younger sister Zhu Zhuqing. After all, when they first met, she witnessed the entire process of the hero saving the beauty. Even though she played a supporting role and a villain at that time, it didn't matter.

After much hesitation, Zhu Zhuyun finally bowed her head to cruel fate. She cautiously took out a thin whip from her spirit guide and handed it over, avoiding eye contact and not daring to observe the other party's expression.

Lu Yuan, with a bewildered expression, accepted the whip and instantly had a series of questions in his mind. What did Zhu Zhuyun mean by giving him this?
