Douluo: Did you move Danta here?

Chapter 440 Davis's Attack
Ning Bei looked at Davis, who stood resolutely in front of his woman, and nodded inwardly. From this, she could see that he was stronger than Dai Mubai.

"With no hope of restoring his clan, is that why he's holed up in this mansion, drinking all day long?"

A struggle flashed in Davis's eyes. He clenched and unclenched his fists repeatedly. After a while, his shoulders slumped down as if he had deflated.

"Otherwise, what can I do now?"

The air of dejection emanating from him made Gu Yue, who was standing by the window, frown. She couldn't understand why Ning Bei had come all the way to find this good-for-nothing.

"Your brother hasn't given up yet. Now, together with Tang San, he has taken control of the entire Kingdom of Kerviel, do you know that?"

"what?"

"This is impossible!"

Upon hearing the news about Dai Mubai, Davis's eyes were filled with disbelief, while Zhu Zhuyun's face turned fierce as she exclaimed that it was impossible. In her eyes, Dai Mubai was a cowardly good-for-nothing who feared death, and she had witnessed her sister's ordeal firsthand.

Ning Bei understood this, of course, and shook her head with a smile, saying:

"Whether you believe it or not, he has already done it. The next step is to win over Duke Lingmao and take over the entire Kingdom of Nili. At that time, including Lingmao City, Xingluo will have nearly 20% of its territory under his control."

Upon hearing that her father was also involved, Zhu Zhuyun's expression changed drastically. In her mind, Ning Bei must be on the side of the Heavenly Dou Empire. Now that she had foreseen Dai Mubai's actions, she came to find the two of them. She must have something to do with it, and their answer would be crucial to the lives of the entire Zhu family.

"What do you want? We have no intention of helping Dai Mubai. We are already satisfied with maintaining our current status under the rule of Tiandou."

Upon hearing his woman's words, Davis clearly understood the gravity of the situation and quickly chimed in.

"Yes, yes, we have no intention of restoring the kingdom. Dai Mubai's actions were spontaneous and have nothing to do with the Zhu family."

“I know you haven’t helped Dai Mubai, but their envoy will probably arrive in Lingmao City soon. You can guess Dai Mubai’s intentions.”

Upon hearing this, Davis and Zhu Zhuyun's expressions changed simultaneously. They knew that among the various lords of the former Star Luo Empire, only the Star Luo Zhu family had not reduced their military strength. Because of this, they had been the subject of considerable suspicion. If it was discovered that Dai Mubai's envoy had come, even if the Zhu family did not intend to do so, Xue Qinghe would not let them off the hook.

After a moment of change in expression, Davis regained his composure. If Ning Bei wanted to eliminate any future troubles, she wouldn't have bothered with the two of them so much. They still vividly remembered Dai Tianxing's experience during the Soul Master Competition. Now that Ning Bei hadn't made a direct move, she must have some ulterior motive.

"Just state your intentions directly, and if possible, we will comply."

Facing Ning Bei, Davis truly couldn't muster the will to resist. He remembered those three blood-red soul rings. It could be said that Ning Bei was someone he would have to look up to for the rest of his life. Even if Dai Mubai expanded his power, it would still be in vain in Davis's eyes. Even though Dai Mubai had impressed him now, it hadn't changed his mind.

After all, there isn't a single Title Douluo in the Star Luo Territory right now, and Ning Bei is invincible here.

A hint of admiration appeared in Ningbei's eyes. Even in his current predicament, Davis still possessed the wisdom and skill of a crown prince, clearly discerning her intentions.

"You can support Dai Mubai in completing the unification of the southwest region of Xingluo."

"What?"

Davis and Zhu Zhuyun stared wide-eyed at Ning Bei, thinking they had misheard something.

“You heard me right. I said you can help Dai Mubai complete the next operation, but when the time is right, I need you to replace him.”

Upon hearing this, a look of understanding appeared in the eyes of the two, and their expressions became very complicated. In the end, the Xingluo Dai family could not avoid the situation of brothers killing each other.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll betray you after I replace Dai Mubai?" After a moment of contemplation, Davis asked Ning Bei with a puzzled look. But what he got in return was Ning Bei's smile that didn't reach her eyes. This smile made him feel a chill run down his spine. At the same time, he cursed himself for being stupid. If the other party was so powerful that she dared to ask him to do this, then she must have a backup plan. It was unnecessary for him to ask such a question.

Looking at Davis, who had figured things out, Ningbei smiled with satisfaction and said:

"Forget about restoring Xingluo. After it's done, I'll have the Emperor of Tiandou bestow upon you the title of Duke of White Tiger, which will also be considered a revival of the Dai family."

"Is this true? Can you really make His Majesty Xue Tiandou listen to you?"

Upon hearing that the Dai family truly had a chance to restore their power, Davis's heterochromatic pupils suddenly flashed with a golden light, and he looked at Ning Bei with expectant eyes.

"You have a choice? If not, why not give it a try? Otherwise, the best outcome for you is to die in this mansion in despair."

Ning Bei did not give Davis any guarantees. If the other party knew what was good for him, he would not mind restoring his noble status. After all, a small Dai family could not cause any trouble. On the contrary, the submission of the Dai family would make the traditional nobles of Xingluo completely put aside their ulterior motives. At the same time, Davis could be planted as a spy in the Tang-Dai Alliance. Why not?

"Alright, from now on I will obey your orders. I hope you will give the Dai family a chance. We don't expect to restore Xingluo, we just hope to benefit our descendants."

"I will give you some help. After that, it depends on your own abilities. Don't tell me you can't beat Dai Mubai. If that happens, I'll have no choice but to wipe the Dai and Zhu families off the continent."

Having accepted Davis's allegiance, Ningbei still decided to give him a little push, lest the other think that he could rest easy once he pledged allegiance to him.

Upon hearing this, Davis and Zhu Zhuyun both trembled slightly, then quickly nodded in agreement.

"Understood. If I can't defeat Dai Mubai, I won't have the face to mention restoring the Dai family."

Nodding, Ning Bei led the Silver Dragon King directly outside.

"Your helpers will arrive soon; you can decide how to proceed."

"Yes."

After Ning Bei and the other left, the two of them breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Zhu Zhuyun's eyes were filled with lingering worry, but Davis's eyes were no longer as lifeless as before.

"Weiss, do you think the other party is trustworthy?"

Does it matter whether it's credible or not? We don't have a choice, do we?

Davis gave his woman a self-deprecating smile. This was his only chance to revive the Dai family. He had to fight for it and not let Dai Mubai push the Dai and Zhu families to their doom.

"Well, that makes sense. Let's fight Dai Mubai again then, since that's how it should be anyway."

Having accepted her fate, Zhu Zhuyun quickly regained her capable demeanor, and she was grateful to Ning Bei for helping Davis regain his fighting spirit.

"Okay, let's give it one more shot together."

Upon leaving the mansion, Ning Bei summoned Xiao Die directly from the Pill Tower, and her appearance surprised the Great Mother Dragon beside her.

"Phantom Dream Butterfly? You actually managed to cultivate this kind of soul beast to this level?"
