Douluo: Xiu Xuanjun seven chapters, become the compassionate medicine king!

Chapter 7 Decay
The curtains in the room swayed gently in the breeze. Lu Chun, wearing only a layer of gauze, leaned lazily against the bed. Her skin, as white as jade, was faintly visible in the dim candlelight, depicting a hazy beauty.

With his palm facing the moon, the moonlight streaming through his fingers illuminated Lu Chun's expression at the moment. He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a smile on his lips: "It's getting more and more interesting."

Without any further thought, the fog surrounding the answer has dissipated.

The Douling Empire was a country that did not strive for progress, or rather, the Tiandou Empire itself before its split was like a staggering old man with old-fashioned ideas and an inability to adapt. If it were not for some special reasons, it would not have existed to this day.

How could those in power who govern such a corrupt country be a group of positive people? The only reason they gather together is that their interests have been infringed.

But they are already the vested interests, so who can harm their interests?

That is of course the country's biggest vested interest, the person sitting in a lofty position -

emperor!

The emperor infringed upon their interests, making them feel that their life freedom was threatened, so they had to unite to resist and even do reasonable things at the right time.

Looking out the window at the sky, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. The residents in the ancient city are enjoying their sweet dreams, unaware that an invisible vortex of clouds is forming in the sky above.

Lu Chun, who was supposed to be an outsider, took the initiative to step into the vortex. He didn't know whether he would be swallowed by the vortex or crushed to pieces.

Suddenly, some noises were heard outside the room, bringing Lu Chun's wandering thoughts back. As soon as he turned around, the door was opened with a "bang", and the honorable Grand Duke Herard climbed in.

The moment he saw him, Lu Chun's eyes went dark and his mind went offline.

The archduke, who was over fifty years old, had a shackle around his neck. A long iron chain slid on the ground, creaking as he crawled.

Helaer crawled to the bedside, looked at Lu Chun sincerely, and said lovingly: "Master, please give Helaer your orders~"

"..."

An indescribable feeling of disgust surged in his heart, and Lu Chun's expression was extremely weird. He admitted that he still underestimated the interests and hobbies of this group of decadent nobles.

I didn’t expect that the Grand Duke had such a little-known hobby!

Looking at the slowly burning candles on the table, it is no wonder that the hall outside is using soul guide lamps but only candles are used here. It turns out that this was all arranged in advance.

Looking at Helaer who was showing a humble attitude, Lu Chun was silent for a while, picked up the half-melted candle, and said to him: "Come here."

Helar obediently crawled to Lu Chun's feet, his eyes fixed on his bare white feet, his face filled with indescribable emotions.

"look into my eyes."

Full of anticipation, Helar raised his head and saw Lu Chun's dark green pupils, and his own reflection in them. In the end, only the beautiful pupils reflected in his mind remained.

Herald's eyes gradually became empty, his expression dull, and he knelt on the ground motionless, as if possessed.

However, the next moment, his expression turned ferocious, his eyes flickered, and he stared at Lu Chun and said hoarsely, "Little thief! How dare you plot against me!"

"I plotted against you? Didn't you come to me on your own?" Lu Chun said.

Lu Chun was not surprised to see Helar struggling to get out of his abyss. Even if he was a waste who was drugged, he was still a true Soul Emperor. What's more, he was having so much fun. His mental fortitude was beyond the reach of others.

Kicking his legs, Lu Chun smiled gently: "Do you really want me to step on you?"

"You really dare to think so!"

Scarlet eyeballs appeared in the cracks of his skin, and Lu Chun appeared in front of Helaer in his most realistic appearance. Under the influence of his power, brilliant flowers bloomed in the room in the blink of an eye, and the alluring fragrance of flowers filled the air. Helaer's violent struggle began to slow down until he fell to the ground and didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

Lu Chun didn't expect it to be so easy, or rather, his success was entirely due to Herard's carelessness. He believed that no one would dare to assassinate a de facto grand duke in the capital of a country.

He also dismissed the powerful soul masters who were secretly protecting him because of his own interests and hobbies. Otherwise, as a duke, there would be at least one soul saint to guarantee his safety.

It can be said that Gerard's current fate is all his own fault.

The strange vision in the room faded away, and a simple seed appeared in Lu Chun's hand. Under the catalysis of his power, the seed sprouted quickly and stretched its roots vigorously.

When it was placed on Gerard's head, it immediately tore open his flesh and took root inside. Gerard's expression was hideous and painful, and one could see that his head was visibly becoming congested, with blood vessels and nerves wriggling under the cortex.

It was not until a long time later that calm was restored and Helar slowly woke up. When he opened his eyes and saw Lu Chun, he was stunned.

Lu Chun asked: "Who are you?"

"I am my master's dog!"

Gerard shouted without hesitation, his face full of fanaticism and excitement, his lower body twisting as if there was really a tail there.

Lu Chun fell silent after hearing this. Should he say that the effect was unexpectedly good?

Glancing at the other person's disgusting look, Lu Chun said coldly, "Get three meters away, don't look at me, and tell me everything that happened in your secret meeting today."

"Yes!"

Helar rolled three meters away, fell on all fours, his eyes constantly glancing at Lu Chun's feet, and at the same time told the contents of the secret meeting without reservation.

What he said was almost the same as what Lu Chun thought. They were indeed plotting a rebellion against the current Douling Emperor, simply because the Douling Emperor had gone mad.

"That old immortal Xue Yinyi is really crazy. It's fine for him to raise evil soul masters and refine blood pills to prolong life. Everyone does that anyway, but he actually stretched his hands to us nobles. How dare he?!"

Herald blushed and cursed: "That is my territory, my property! I am the duke appointed by the late emperor himself!"

"He saw that the strong men in the army were better than the wild spirit masters, so he cooperated with the barbarians of Xingdou, paid money to hire them to attack and kidnap people, and then paid money to buy them from them. In the end, the generals in the army were held accountable and dismissed. He took all the good things. Does he know that this is treason?"

All these words were criticisms and condemnations of the Douling Emperor. There was no falsehood in them. These were Helar's thoughts from the bottom of his heart.

As mentioned before, due to some special reasons, the Douling Empire perfectly inherited the foundation of the Tiandou Empire. Although some changes were made on this basis, the county system and the feudal system were promoted in parallel, which expanded the power of the emperor, but it could not change the fact that the actual nobles had rights equal to or even greater than the imperial power.

What the Douling Emperor is doing now is tantamount to cutting the flesh of the nobles with a knife, and the intense pain makes them rise up in resistance.

However, Helaer never said anything about the evil spirit master killing people to make pills. When Lu Chun asked why, he just said lightly, "They are just a bunch of peasants. One group dies in the winter and another group is born in the previous year. They work themselves to death but can't even collect a few cents of tax. What's there to worry about?"

"It is their birth honor to be the nutrients that nourish us."

Lu Chun didn't say anything. He once again refreshed his understanding of the degree of corruption in this country.

It stinks and is rotten and oozing pus.

This country needs integration and rebirth.

So he said, "Go and do something."

　Happy Labor Day! Tickets are coming!
