Chapter 62: Promise!

Looking at the two sisters on his left and right, he couldn't help feeling a slight sense of guilt in his heart!

He originally had no intention toward the sisters' bodies; after killing the two guards, his anger had largely dissipated, and he only slightly frightened the sisters to see if there was any benefit.

He hadn't expected the sisters to misunderstand and actually lunge forward; at that irritable moment, faced with such mortal beauty, he finally couldn't hold back!

But since things have come to this, he must take responsibility. It's only the Starry Empire, and he truly doesn't regard it highly. If the Dai family jumps too joyfully, with Yu Yuanzhen at level ninety‑eight, it would be enough to leave the Starry Empire leaderless for a night! At that moment, Yu Tianyun's expression hardened, and his gentle gaze fixed on the two exhausted women, full of compassion.

After all, in the afternoon he lost his reason and was extremely rude; after regaining clarity later, Yu Tianyun hurriedly gave each of them a top‑grade medicinal herb, especially Zhu Zhuqing, who was already severely wounded; at this moment, her body automatically refined the herb's potency while she slept.

Time slipped by silently, and before they knew it, it was the next morning.

During that time, Yu Tianyun silently continued to protect the two women.

When sunlight filled the carriage, the two women finally slowly woke up.

"Awake? Come have something to eat! This is sauce‑marinated beef made from the Snow‑Flake Divine Ox cultivated for a thousand years that I brought from my family; it's delicious!"

Yu Tianyun handed over a packet of the sauce beef, speaking in a gentle voice.

However, the two women ignored him, their eyes filled with helplessness, fear, and resentment.

Yu Tianyun felt a bit helpless, but he said nothing further and simply watched the two quietly.

Zhu Zhuyun knew that now they were the meat on the chopping board, as if resigned to fate, sighed, took the sauce beef from Yu Tianyun's hand, and said softly:

"Thank you, sir!"

Then he opened the package and said to Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhuqing, have some!"

Zhu Zhuqing replied softly, and the two women elegantly ate the food Yu Tianyun gave them.

At that moment, Yu Tianyun's calm voice came: "I know the rules of your Starry Empire Dai family and Zhu family."

The words instantly caught the sisters' attention, and they both turned to look at Yu Tianyun.

Yu Tianyun continued: "What I said before wasn't a lie; I truly don't hold the Dai family in any regard!"

Zhu Zhuyun looked at Yu Tianyun with a hint of desperation, his voice mournful as he said:

"I already told you I could give you my body, so why do you still forcibly take Zhuqing's? Both of us are the Starry Empire royal‑designated marriage partners; now our purity has been taken by you, we have no way to live. Your Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect may not fear the Starry Empire, but what does that have to do with us!"

Yu Tianyun's guilt deepened a bit more, but his voice remained firm and strong: "I can protect the two of you!"

Zhu Zhuyun's helplessness and despair on his face did not lessen at all; he asked in doubt, "Would the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect risk offending the Starry Empire just to protect us? Who exactly are you?"

Yu Tianyun's voice remained calm and confident, saying, "Yes, as for who I am, my grandfather is the sect master of the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect. Remember, I, Yu Tianyun, am your man! No one can take you away from me!"

These plain words, though childish and adolescent, somehow eased the two women's sense of helplessness a few degrees.

Watching the two women's expressions improve slightly yet still tugging at his heart, Yu Tianyun summoned his martial soul,

Black, black, black, black!!!! Only four pure black Soul Rings appeared in this not‑spacious carriage.

In an instant, the two women's eating stopped abruptly, and a packet of sauce beef slipped from Yu's hand into a broad, strong palm.

Watching the two women stare blankly without any reaction, Yu Tianyun said he had long been accustomed to this; after all, the Title Douluo he had shocked were three, no, counting the newly‑promoted Title Douluo Yu Luomian, that makes four.

Yu Tianyun sat down, pulled the two women into his arms, and said lightly:

"Now you're safe, right? With my strength and background, at present, aside from the Spirit Hall, no force on the continent can catch my eye! As long as you don't leave, I will never abandon you!"

Yu Tianyun's resonant, powerful promise helped the shocked two women slowly regain their senses, though still a bit dazed; despite feeling that Yu Tianyun shamelessly possessed the sisters, a strange warmth nonetheless rose in their hearts.

Yu Tianyun continued to woo the two, each sentence striking directly at their hearts:

"Yesterday was indeed my fault; I only intended to scare you a bit, but I didn't expect you both to lunge at me. My dragon blood is too thick, I couldn't endure, which led to this grave error. However, I will treat you well and will not let you suffer any more grievances."

"From now on you won't have to worry about being drawn into the Starry Empire royal conflicts; with me here, no one can force you! Let your sisters kill each other."

"The top‑grade medicinal herb you took last night can improve your talents and boost soul power! Zhuqing's injuries should also have recovered under the herb's effect!"

"In the future I will find for you a celestial herb even more powerful than the top‑grade one!"

On the way to Suotuo City, Yu Tianyun's words that struck the two sisters' hearts opened their hearts smoothly.

The two women's thoughts were actually very simple; they only had to oppose each other because of their status.

The two women no longer have to worry about killing each other, nor have to exhaust themselves just to survive.

All they desire is simply to live freely!

Yet under the Starry Empire's cold, ruthless royal customs, a Zhu family woman, as a marriage alliance, generally has no right to choose her future.

Simply being alive is already extremely difficult.

Yu Tianyun also understands the Starry Empire's extreme merciless rules; seeing the deep sisterly bond of the two women makes him feel even more pity for them.

Perhaps because they grew up in such an environment, the sisters are especially moved by Yu Tianyun's promise, especially after witnessing his terrifying talent, strength, and background.

Not long after, the two women stopped rejecting Yu Tianyun and opened their hearts, trying to accept him.

Compared with Davis and the head‑cowering Dai Mubai, Yu Tianyun is truly outstanding; in any aspect, those two brothers cannot be compared with him. Moreover, Yu Tianyun cares about their feelings, treating them as his partners rather than tools, ornaments, or mere outlets for gratification! They know well that the lives of past Starry Empire empresses were not happy; although they won the competition, they still couldn't escape being used as tools, because the Dai family, raised in such an environment, are cold‑blooded and never invest genuine affection.

To them, Yu Tianyun indeed seems a very good choice.
