Douluo 2: This Dragon God has too much martial virtue

Chapter 540 Do I look like someone you can easily bully?
“However, I think what Dai Hao said this time is somewhat credible.” Mu Xing stared at Huo Yun’er while communicating with Ilex through mental power. “Think about it, although the White Tiger and Black Cat have been married for tens of thousands of years, and the interests between the two families are complicated and intertwined, their interests outweigh their feelings. Otherwise, the Zhu family would not have severed ties with the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion in this generation in order to protect themselves.”

“The Duke has a history of lying…” Although Electrox disliked Huo Yun’er’s behavior, he still subconsciously spoke up for the weak.

"But what you said makes sense."

Seeing his rebellious disciple raise his eyebrows in displeasure, Electrox awkwardly changed his words.

“Dai Hao has more than one concubine. Look at his youngest son, Dai Luoli. No matter how neglected he is, the Duke's mansion never skimps on food or drink. The servants in the mansion still call him Young Master. His mother also gained status because of her son; she is at least considered a mistress. So, if you're going to say that Huo Yun'er is being envied by the principal wife because she is favored…”

“Then Dai Luoli and her son will probably be suppressed even more severely.” Electrolux tacitly followed up with the next sentence, “Huo Yun’er is favored? I don’t think so.” Just look at Dai Hao’s inaction. Huo Yun’er’s little schemes, her subtle displays of affection, and her deliberately displayed “affection” were all digging her own grave. And the truly innocent one is the child who is seeking revenge for her.

“She probably never knew what love was,” Mu Xing watched Huo Yun’er’s soul fluctuate, his eyes reflecting the surging hatred and sorrow in her. “Of course, she also chose the wrong person. Let’s assume Dai Hao really loved her, but his love was too barren, so it was worthless. She loved him until one day she discovered that poison was flowing under his skin, and she had already drunk poison to quench her thirst.”

"Then what do you think constitutes... true love?" Electrox carefully chose his words, his gaze falling on the diamond-shaped pendant in the center of Mu Xing's collarbone. "Does this count?" His gaze did not leave the pendant, as if the answer was engraved on that unfathomable reverse scale.

“I don’t like saying I don’t know, but I really don’t know. If you insist on giving me an answer, then I need to look at the other person’s motives first, such as your subconscious defense of me just now.” Mu Xing naturally shifted the topic of discussion. “I only just realized that you love me too. Don’t rush to deny it, Lord Electrolux.” This time, she still didn’t address him as “teacher.”

"That wasn't love, but you can't deny that it was love."

Electrolux did instinctively want to refute, but Mu Xing's prediction acted like an invisible barrier, blocking all his hasty explanations. He couldn't deny that this was in itself a tacit admission.

Huo Yun'er's soul trembled silently in the void, watching helplessly as her once innocent child became like this. Her heart... if the soul still had a heart, it felt as if it were being pierced by a thousand ice spikes.

It's all that dragon's fault!

She never imagined that the evil dragon in the story she once told Huo Yuhao would one day suddenly snatch away her child and raise him into this heartless and ruthless person.

Huo Yun'er watched Mu Xing chatting and laughing with others as if nothing had happened, and her hatred surged like a tide.

She's the one who corrupted my Yuhao!

The obedient child who used to help her with chores in her memory is now torturing her lover with the cruelest methods.

Watching Dai Hao being humiliated, her soul ached as if it were being torn apart. Even though this man had betrayed her for life, even though he had tacitly approved of the persecution she suffered at the hands of the first wife, he had once been the only boy in the vast Duke's mansion who had given her warmth!
Why did you do this to him? What tormented her most was the gleam of pleasure in Huo Yuhao's eyes. Her child, the child she had protected with her life, was now indulging in the thrill of revenge. And all of this stemmed from the dragon's wicked teachings! No wonder the Sea God and the ancestors of the White Tiger lineage ordered the dragon's slaying!

My Yuhao should have been a kind child! If it weren't for that woman...

She wished time could turn back, back to that night when Huo Yuhao was still called Dai Yuhao, and nestled in her arms. At least back then, her child's eyes didn't hold the bloody madness they saw now.

Huo Yuhao's body suddenly stiffened, and blood-stained ice shards fell from his dark gold claws. He sensed his mother's surging hatred in the void; that sharp, venomous resentment was not directed at him, the perpetrator, but rather...

"Teacher..." The boy's hoarse voice carried a panic that even he himself didn't recognize, "I'm sorry." Apologies and sorry are not the same; the former is more formal, while the latter sounds like someone who has made a mistake and is cautiously begging for forgiveness.

The cat is a good cat, so the owner should give it some comfort and rewards.

"Hush." ​​A soft sigh dissipated in the wind. Mu Xing pulled the blood-covered boy into his arms, and could only try to comfort him a little. "You don't need to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong. Listen to me, so far, nothing has been your fault, understand?"

"Let him go! You evil dragon, release my child!"

Huo Yun'er's soul projection rushed towards Mu Xing, but was casually repelled by Electrolux just before it touched her, scattering and then regrouping.

Mu Xing tilted his head and gave Huo Yun'er a smile that Huo Yun'er found to be wicked.

Your son is fine, now he's mine.
Isn't Huo Yuhao's success today due to Mu Xing's all-out efforts in nurturing him? Of course not, it wasn't all-out effort, because young Huo also has an expensive adoptive father who covers half, or even more, of his educational expenses.

Then let me ask you, where did Huo Yuhao get his million-year soul ring and ferocious beast soul bone? Where did he get his second martial soul? Answer me! Where did all those soul beasts, even ferocious beast soul spirits, come from? Hmm? Answer me! Especially the second-ranked ferocious beast, the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, would it just become Huo Yuhao's soul spirit for no reason? Answer me~ Look in my eyes, tell me why?! If this child hadn't come with me, could he have survived in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion? Huh? Could he have survived? Huh? Yes, yes! Just wait to notify his family.

Where are the family members? Why aren't they saying anything? Oh, so they're dead!

Your child? If it weren't for so many people watching, Mu Xing would have given Huo Yun'er the middle finger and let her talk to her handsome and kind-hearted uncle!

Over thousands of years, she has raised countless offspring, but no parent of any offspring has ever suddenly jumped out to complain that she has corrupted their child like Huo Yun'er! Good heavens! Does she look like some kind of dragon that is easy to bully?

Mu Xing looked up at the sky, wondering if her father could just throw this woman down. The thought of Huo Yuhao giving Huo Yun'er a family member spot after he became a god made her extremely disgusted!
