When Zhou Xingdou returned to the Star Palace, he was indeed somewhat dazed. It was more accurate to say that it had been twenty years since he last returned, rather than five.
After all, those twenty years from his previous life were still vivid in his memory, and he still found it difficult to completely forget them.
This palace alone is enough to prove how much the Zhou family doted on Zhou Xingdou.
The Star Palace was second only to the main hall, Zhou Tian Hall, in the entire Zhou family. Even the palaces of the four uncles were inferior to the Star Palace.
In terms of the richness of vital energy, the Star Palace can indeed be called the place with the richest vital energy.
Back then, Zhou Xingdou was able to dominate the Tai Shi generation not only because of the Ziwei Taihuang Scripture and the Nine Heavens Sacred Body, but also because of his cultivation environment.
The environment of Xingdou Palace is so conducive that even a pig could become a spirit if it stayed there for too long. It's just a pity that Zhou Xingdou in his previous life was extremely stupid and not even as good as a pig, otherwise he wouldn't have ended up like that.
But what attracted Zhou Xingdou even more than the magnificent Star Palace was his senior sister, Luo Hanyi, who was once the ice queen of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect and is now his person.
Luo Hanyi also felt Zhou Xingdou's burning gaze. Underneath her midnight star-patterned robe, her fair and tender skin, as white as jade, was now flushed with shyness.
That once slender yet full-figured body, as sharp as a divine sword that made people afraid to approach, now seemed somewhat awkward.
Her once sharp and imposing aura has long since dissipated, leaving only a gentle beauty that evokes tenderness.
Her delicate, aloof face, with its breathtaking beauty, was flushed with a hint of rosy hue, and her slightly lowered eyes and gentle frown exuded a sense of fragility.
With a gentle heart and delicate bones, she possesses a clear mind and graceful figure; with fragrant skin, jade-like body, and icy complexion.
Seeing Luo Hanyi's posture, Zhou Xingdou's eyes reddened slightly. He immediately pulled Luo Hanyi's soft, jade-like body tightly into his arms, then exhaled two puffs of hot breath and said:
"Senior sister, did you ever say that after meeting the parents, it would be okay...?"
Luo Hanyi's blush deepened, and she lowered her head slightly, her long black hair fluttering in the wind. Her voice was as soft as warm water and as light as a mosquito's whisper:
"Well...although...we haven't gotten married yet, but...we promised Grandpa that we would do this for the Zhou family..."
Luo Hanyi's words were fragmented and disjointed, making Zhou Xingdou so anxious he wanted to jump up and down. He interrupted her, saying:
"We promised Grandpa that we would work hard to continue the Zhou family line so that he could hold his great-grandson soon!"
After saying that, Zhou Xingdou picked Luo Hanyi up in his arms, kicked open the heavy palace gate of Xingdou Palace, and rushed in impatiently.
After all, he had waited far too long for this day!
The Star Palace, sealed for five years, is now open, welcoming its master and the vibrant colors of spring.
Then the palace gates slammed shut, all the formations were activated to their maximum, and the ancient stars surrounding the Star Palace trembled with excitement.
The starry sky above the Zhou family's residence seemed to brighten a bit, as if celebrating the young master's return.
No one knows what happened inside the Star Palace; all that is known is that no one slept that night…
...
next day
early morning
Zhou Xingdou carried Luo Hanyi out of the palace gate, breathing in the first wisp of purple mist of sunrise. His indifferent expression contained an unyielding sense of happiness.
The coldness between Luo Hanyi's brows vanished overnight, replaced by deep affection. After that night, she was indeed a true member of the Zhou family.
However, at this moment, her face was full of shyness, her jade arms wrapped around Zhou Xingdou's neck, and her cheek pressed against Zhou Xingdou's hot chest.
She should have needed to rest at this moment, but she didn't want to leave Stephen Chow and just wanted to stick to him and never be separated from him.
Zhou Xingdou didn't have any objections. After all, in his eyes, Luo Hanyi was different from other women. He didn't find it troublesome to keep holding her like this. On the contrary, he held her very tightly, as if he was afraid that Luo Hanyi would run away.
Moreover, if it weren't for Commander Xingyou connecting to the Star Palace through the formation and sending a message to Zhou Xingdou that he had something to report, Zhou Xingdou really wouldn't have been willing to leave the Star Palace.
So he had no choice but to carry Luo Hanyi to the Zhou Tian Palace and, without thinking twice, plopped down on the throne.
The five remaining servants of the Zhou family had been waiting for a long time. They were not summoned by Zhou Xingdou, but were notified by Xingyou to come and pay homage.
Fortunately, Zhou Xingdou had the power to kill Yu Shexiang and Tie Qianduan yesterday, otherwise, his behavior of holding Luo Hanyi and sitting on the throne would have inevitably drawn criticism from Wei Luosheng.
Now, no one had any further objections. The moment Zhou Xingdou sat down, whether it was Master Wei, Wei Luosheng, Chen Nong, Tianyin, or Yuchi Li, they all bowed respectfully and said:
"Wei Luosheng (Chen Nong, Tian Yin, Yu Chi Li) pays his respects to the young master!"
Only the Star Ghost Commander remained unnoticed, and his words differed from the other four:
"Commander 'You' of the Star Realm pays respects to the Star Lord!"
Although it was just a difference in address, Zhou Xingdou saw a huge gap between them.
Chen Nong, Wei Luosheng, and others were worshipping the Zhou family rather than themselves.
However, the leader of Xingyou, "You," did indeed worship Zhou Xingdou, the Xingyou Star Lord.
It can only be said that the hidden satellite spirit left to Zhou Xingdou by his parents, whom he never met, was indeed loyal to him after recognizing Zhou Xingdou as the star lord, rather than to the Zhou family.
However, he didn't particularly like this kind of imperial court assembly. Although he had a beautiful woman in his arms, he still maintained a somewhat dignified and indifferent demeanor, saying:
"Rise. There is no need for daily visits from now on. I will inform you if there is anything."
Upon hearing this, apart from Commander Xingyou whose star face was obscured, the other four all seemed relieved.
These servants of the Zhou family were used to a relaxed lifestyle, and although they did not mind visiting Zhou Xingdou every day.
But of course, it would be best not to have to face one's own capricious and unpredictable young master every day.
After all, two former colleagues had already died without even a splash in Zhou Xingdou's hands yesterday, their bodies utterly destroyed.
Even though Yu Shexiang and Tie Qianduan were at fault and courted their own demise, it did not prevent them from feeling a little fear towards this young master.
Even the most dull and powerful among them, Tianyin, was somewhat afraid of Zhou Xingdou's ruthless methods.
Zhou Xingdou naturally wouldn't explain anything, and he didn't need to have a close relationship with these servants; as long as they were obedient enough, that was enough.
As for the servants' fear of him, that was to be expected of Zhou Xingdou.
The fact that subordinates do not fear superiors only proves that you, as the person in charge, are a failure.
The so-called harmony between heaven and earth and equality among all living beings is nothing more than a utopian fantasy created by the strong to control the weak.
If anyone actually believes that, then you're really not far from death.
That's how the world is; it's like that when you overturn the illusion woven from those words of benevolence, wisdom, etiquette, and utmost hypocrisy.
You will then discover that beneath that surface there are only fists and sharp blades!
Perhaps Stephen Chow's knife isn't fast enough, and his fist isn't big enough.
But behind him were sharp blades and iron fists that were enough to instill fear in the world, which were pressed against the necks of these servants whose fists were clearly bigger than their own.
