Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Chapter 7 A Childhood Sweetheart Falls From the Sky? The Gluttonous Zhu Lu
"What wife?" Dai Yuntian scratched his head, somewhat confused.

However, those words instantly woke him up.

As a descendant of the White Tiger Duke's mansion, if there really is such a good thing as "a wife falling from the sky," then the object of his affections is almost only one possibility.

That is the Zhu family, the Netherworld Cat family that has been intermarrying with the Dai family for generations.

As far as he knew, there seemed to be only one legitimate daughter of the Zhu family in this generation, a girl named Zhu Lu.

Is it...

"Hehe... Don't just stand there, come with me."

Dai Huabin, acting mysteriously, pulled Dai Yuntian along and ran towards the Duke's mansion hall.

As they approached the entrance to the hall, before even entering, they could already hear their mother, Zhu Yun'er, chatting happily with another person.

From a distance, Dai Yuntian saw his mother talking to a middle-aged man with an extraordinary air about him.

This person is none other than the contemporary Duke of the Underworld—Zhu Feng.

The most eye-catching figure was the petite woman standing next to the Duke of the Underworld.

She was a girl wearing an exquisite black Lolita dress, with short hair that reached her ears, and cat-ear-shaped decorations in her hair, which added a touch of playfulness and liveliness to her.

She seemed a little shy, with her head slightly lowered and her hands nervously folded in front of her, looking timid and quite adorable.

At this moment, Zhu Yun'er also noticed her two sons peeking in from the doorway and quickly waved them over, saying, "Yun'er, Hua Bin, what are you still doing standing at the door? Come in and greet Duke Youming."

Before Dai Yuntian could respond, he felt Dai Huabin give him a light push on the back, and heard his second brother's low voice in his ear: "Third brother, no need to thank me!"

"I suddenly remembered that my older brother needs to see me, so I'll have to go now!"

Before he could finish speaking, Dai Huabin had already vanished in a flash, leaving Dai Yuntian standing alone at the door, looking somewhat embarrassed.

After calming himself down, Dai Yuntian walked into the hall and bowed slightly to the two of them: "Greetings, Mother; greetings, Duke."

Zhu Yun'er sighed helplessly, "Sigh, Hua Bin is always so impulsive."

Duke Zhu Feng of the Underworld laughed heartily, "No problem at all! Sister Yun, our two families have been friends for generations, there's no need for such formalities, besides..."

He changed the subject, his tone slightly joking, and his gaze swept meaningfully over Dai Yuntian and the girl beside him: "I only have one precious daughter, Lulu. If that brat Hua Bin also joins in the fun, I really don't know what to do."

However, these were just polite words on the surface.

Zhu Feng's main purpose in coming here was to finalize the engagement between his daughter Zhu Lu and Dai Yuntian.

After all, the strange phenomena and commotion that occurred at the White Tiger Duke's mansion yesterday had already spread throughout the entire Star Luo City.

From the Star Luo Emperor to the various powerful families, everyone was speculating about what kind of earth-shattering opportunity the White Tiger Duke's Mansion had obtained.

However, due to the strict information blockade imposed by the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, people are unaware of the specific details and are mostly still in a wait-and-see state.

Thanks to his close relationship with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion through generations of marriage alliances, Zhu Feng was able to find out the exact information immediately.

"The gods have descended!"

"A single word from a deity suppressed Xuan Lao, a level 98 Super Douluo!"

May the gods bless you!

"Innate level 20 soul power!"

When he learned of these shocking news stories, Zhu Feng was so stunned that he couldn't speak.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to bring his daughter Zhu Lu to visit early this morning, hoping to take advantage of the situation and get the engagement first.

At this moment, he looked at the young man in front of him with black hair and red eyes, whose temperament was completely different from before, and he became more and more satisfied.

And isn't Zhu Yun'er on the other side the same?
She looked at the well-behaved and lovely Zhu Lu and liked her more and more. The girl's appearance and temperament were a perfect match for her own Yun'er.

Afterwards, Zhu Yun'er and Zhu Feng exchanged a knowing glance. As elders, there were some things they needed to say.

"Yun'er, we still have things to discuss. Why don't you take Lulu and go out to play for a while?"

“Okay,” Dai Yuntian agreed.

Zhu Feng laughed and said, "Lulu, don't just stand there, come on, come out and play with Brother Yuntian."

Zhu Lu, whose name was called, trembled slightly. She timidly looked up and glanced at the handsome young man with black hair and red eyes opposite her. Her heart beat even faster.

Is this my future husband...? He's so handsome!
Encouragingly, Zhu Lu took a step forward and walked up to Dai Yuntian, her voice barely audible: "Brother Yuntian..."

Looking at the shy girl, Dai Yuntian found it somewhat amusing and said, "Shall we go?"

"Um……"

Zhu Lu responded softly and followed Dai Yuntian with small steps. The two walked out of the hall, one in front of the other.

Dai Yuntian led Zhu Lu on a slow walk in the Duke's garden, trying to find something to talk about to break the silence.

Zhu Lu mostly kept her head down, responding softly with "hmm" and "ah".

She would only occasionally steal a quick glance at Dai Yuntian's profile before immediately lowering her eyes like a startled fawn.

Just as Dai Yuntian was pondering where to take her next.

A soft but clear gurgling sound suddenly came from the direction of the girl beside him.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in such a quiet place.

Zhu Lu's body froze instantly. Her head, which was already lowered due to shyness, was buried even deeper, almost disappearing into her neck. Even her small earlobes turned bright red.

She clutched the hem of her clothes tightly, her heart filled with unbearable shame.

God!

She actually... she actually let out a growl of hunger in front of the man she was meeting for the first time, the man who might become her husband!
This was incredibly rude and unseemly! Zhu Lu felt she had completely disgraced the Netherworld Cat Clan…

Dai Yuntian glanced at the sky; it was already close to noon.

He immediately understood; Zhu Lu must have come with her father early in the morning and probably hadn't eaten breakfast.

Looking at the girl in front of him, who was so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear into the ground, Dai Yuntian did not feel impolite at all. On the contrary, he found her embarrassed appearance to be very real and cute.

After all, food is the primary driving force for human progress!

Dai Yuntian gently took her slightly cold hand and said in a gentle tone, "It's already this late without me realizing it. It seems I was negligent. Come on, I'll take you to eat. Master Tie Niu's beef noodles at your residence are absolutely amazing."

The warm touch from her palm made Zhu Lu look up in surprise.

Dai Yuntian didn't laugh at her. Instead, he considerately made up an excuse for her and even offered to take her out to eat... Is this... her fiancé?

He's so...so gentle!

Zhu Lu forgot to struggle and forgot to be shy. Her mind went completely blank, as if it were starting to smoke.

She just stood there, letting Dai Yuntian lead her by the hand and walk towards the kitchen.

But deep down, she felt warm inside.

When Chef Tie Niu in the kitchen heard that the Third Young Master wanted to eat his signature Tie Niu beef noodles, he couldn't stop smiling and quickly called his helpers to get to work.

Soon, two large bowls of steaming hot and fragrant "Iron Bull Beef Noodles" were served.

The noodles are chewy, the broth is rich and flavorful, and it's topped with thick, tender chunks of beef, making it incredibly appetizing.

"Eat quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

Dai Yuntian pushed a bowl of noodles in front of Zhu Lu and handed her chopsticks.

Zhu Lu whispered "thank you," then picked up her chopsticks and ate slowly and politely at first because she was shy.

But perhaps she was really hungry, or perhaps Master Tie Niu's cooking was just too good, because after a few bites she unconsciously sped up her pace.

The bowl was quickly devoured.

Zhu Lu seemed to still want more, holding the empty bowl in her small hands, with a hint of longing and... embarrassment on her face.

"Master Tie Niu, please serve Miss Zhu Lu a few more bowls," Dai Yuntian said to Uncle Fu, suppressing a smile.

"Alright!" Master Tie Niu happily ladled out another full bowl.

Then, Dai Yuntian witnessed a scene that left him dumbfounded.

This seemingly petite and incredibly shy girl actually has an astonishing appetite!
She ate in small bites but quickly, and the second, third, and even fourth bowls of noodles disappeared at a visible speed.

Zhu Lu was completely immersed in the world of food, temporarily forgetting her shyness, until she finished her fifth bowl with great satisfaction.

After putting down her chopsticks, she belatedly realized that Dai Yuntian was looking at her with a surprised expression, and there was still more than half of the noodles left in his bowl.

"!!!"

Zhu Lu instantly realized what she had done.

She...she actually ate...ate a whole five bowls of noodles in front of Dai Yuntian without any restraint!

God!

Her carefully cultivated ladylike image is completely ruined!
Overwhelmed by intense shame, Zhu Lu's face flushed crimson, almost to the point of bleeding. She abruptly lowered her head and stammered an apology:

"I...I'm sorry! Brother Yuntian! I...I'm not usually like this, really...it's just that the noodles were too delicious...I..."

She spoke softer and softer, as if she wanted to find a hole to crawl into right away.

Looking at the girl in front of him, who was so ashamed and indignant because her appetite had been exposed, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand after making a mistake, Dai Yuntian finally couldn't help but chuckle.

This Zhu Lu is much more lively and adorable than the one who was tense and cautious just now.

"It's okay, being able to eat is a blessing."

And if you eat more, you'll have a bright future!
She heard that Dai Yuntian showed no disgust and instead smiled and comforted her.

Zhu Lu secretly opened her fingers, which were covering her face, and peeked at him.

I saw that his eyes were clear and gentle, filled with kindness and not mockery.

Zhu Lu's wildly beating heart slowly calmed down, but the blush on her cheeks lingered for a long time.

Her feelings for her fiancé had unknowingly grown stronger.

He... is really different from those arrogant noblemen in the rumors.

……

After the meal, Dai Yuntian took Zhu Lu to the garden to digest their food. The two chatted and laughed, sharing their funny stories, and had a very pleasant time.

When Zhu Yun'er and Zhu Feng finished their discussion, they came to the garden to find them.

That's exactly what I saw.

Dai Yuntian was pointing at the koi in the pond and saying something. Zhu Lu leaned forward slightly to listen, a faint smile on her lips.

Zhu Feng and Zhu Yun'er exchanged a glance, both seeing satisfaction and reassurance in each other's eyes.

This marriage seems to be a sure thing.
