The grass is like a leek and is green and flamboyant; it is not hungry when eaten. It is produced on the mountain of Zhaoyao, at the head of the Magpie Mountains above the Western Sea. The head of the South Mountain Classic is called Magpie Mountain. Its head is called Mount Zhaoyao, which lies above the West Sea and is rich in laurel and gold and jade. There is a grass that looks like a leek and is green and flamboyant, and its name is Zhuyu, which does not cause hunger when eaten.

-Shanhaijing Nanshanjing

In this oriental mystery - The Great Emperor of the Nine Directions - the Shura Emperor Consort, who goes by the name of Zhu Yu, is an orphaned daughter of the Asura clan.

Fatherless and motherless, she grew up on a lonely island in the Endless Sea. She had grown to be five or six years old when the Asuras who happened to come to this island found her.

She was clothed in grass and leaves and lived in a stone cave. She did not understand human speech or reason, and was always in the company of birds and animals.

By the side of the cave where she lived, there were large patches of the grass that she probably survived on.

The Asuras called her Zhu Yu and took her back to the land of the Asuras in the sea.

In the Asura clan, only those born with intricate and flamboyant patterns on their bodies can practise. Those who were not born with any of the lines on their bodies were considered inferior.

Zhu Yu was one of the "inferior" members of the clan, and was often ridiculed and abused by a few Xuluo children of her age.

An old Shura woman saw her and taught her to read and understand. However, it didn't last long, and only a year later, the old woman died of illness ...

After this, Zhu Yu separated from the pack.

While the Asuras basically do not interact with land races, she hid her identity and went to the land of the human race.

What follows is ...

Enters the academy - discovers she can cultivate and is incredibly gifted - meets the protagonist - is courted by the protagonist - Rejects the protagonist coldly - Accidentally gets close to the protagonist as a lonely boy and girl - Reluctantly agrees to the protagonist - Slowly falls in love with him... ...

... this way.

It's like the standard stud harem trope where the cold, lonely beauty is taken in by the protagonist!

Looking back at Zhu Yu's life, all Yue Ge can say is ...

It's true that no matter what race the bear is, the bear is always the same.

The aloof and aloof girls all have a bad past

The Jiu Fang blah blah blah is just a big pig who wants what he wants

Above.

... is an inferior Shura girl, she is a Heavenly Spirit Shura, okay?

The sky spirit shura is an asura that is naturally nurtured by the spirits of heaven and earth, fatherless and motherless, born and raised. Zhu Yu is a Heavenly Spirit Cultivator born from a piece of ten thousand year old ice at the top of a snowy peak on a lonely island. As for why the isolated island on the sea can have snowy peaks ... well the author of "The Nine Directions" said it yo, probably because he didn't learn geography well.

Of course, Yue Ge doesn't quite understand what this setting is all about in the novel, and why the born and bred can be classified into the Asura tribe ...

In any case, the Heavenly Spirit Cultivators are all rare cultivation wizards of ten thousand years, and as soon as they start the path of cultivation, they can ascend without bottlenecks until they cultivate into gods. The current lineage of Asura kings was born from the ancestor of a celestial spirit cultivator who was bred from a spiritual stone!

Yue Ge felt, right, that she could call herself this old ancestor - the Xiu Mei Monkey King.

------

The edge of the Asura land.

The more the song wandered, the more she subconsciously followed Zhu Yu's "walk".

In fact, walking - or rather, wandering - in the sea felt so strange that it took a while for Yue Ge to adjust to it without appearing lame and dignified.

... Eyes can be in a trance, hearts can be confused, but image must not be lost!

Zhu Yu in front of him suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"I say."

She turned her face sideways, her cold silver eyes staring unblinkingly at Yue Ge.

"Why are you following me?"

"..."

Yue Ge responded in a second as her mind turned and she closed her eyes and smiled bitterly, "I ... have a favor to ask."

Zhu Yu looked at her critically and finally said nothing, but led Yue Ge to the most marginal area of the clan land.

Here there was a narrow stone house, the very place where Zhu Yu had lived when he was in the clan.

"Say, what do you want to do." Zhu Yu said coldly as he took a seat on a stone bench, holding his arms.

Naturally, Yue Ge could not say "my heart pleases you", Zhu Yu was not as easy to fool as the patriarch father.

As mentioned in the novel, the original owner of this body, Xiu Yue Ge, did not bully Zhu Yu when she was young, but she also looked on coldly at the actions of other children and never took special care of her.

Now suddenly to Zhu Yu said actually I like you for a long time, so to disregard your wishes to forcefully marry or forcefully marry you ... afraid not waiting to be cut oh.

cannon fodder crime add another one: playing with the feelings of the protagonist's harem!

Then ... Yue Ge, pawn.

Yue Ge took a deep breath and said without hurry, "I want to leave the clan, but you know, the clan rules ... and my father ..."

"I want to go outside and see the human race, see how other land races live, I don't want to stay in the underwater clanlands all the time! Please take me away, and I promise that our so-called marriage contract is only in name within the Shura clan, and it's okay to never consummate it."

Zhu Yu ... Zhu Yu looked at her as if she was looking at an adolescent rebellious girl, or a rebellious girl who was yelling to leave home.

"I don't care about that." Zhu Yu said coldly. "Just do what you want."

What's more ... there's a lower year boy at the college who's been annoying lately, disturbing people all day. With a marriage contract in place, it should be able to make him stop.

The two Shura sisters agreed on this.

Yue Ge certainly wasn't naive enough to think that this would go away if the other person didn't care.

But she didn't yet have the memories of her body's original owner and didn't know much about the world, so she had to be careful and cautious - if there was anything she could do, she was obliged to do it.

Zhu Yu responded in a dispensable manner.
