Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

"What did you say?!"

Davis's first reaction to this request was that he thought he had misheard.

When he came to his senses, he suddenly looked up at Qian Renxue above him, his eyes filled with shock and anger.

How could the powerful emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire lack women? Yet he still had designs on Zhu Zhuyun.

This is clearly an insult to him!

Despite Davis's angry glare, Qian Renxue remained calm and composed.

After a moment, Davis suppressed his anger and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess is, after all, the future Empress of our Star Luo Empire, and certainly cannot be transferred. But I can let her sister enter the palace."

As he said this, an unprecedented sense of humiliation welled up in his heart; he never imagined that he would fall to such a state.

Seeing that Davis intended to hand Zhu Zhuqing over, Zhu Zhuyun felt a pang of anguish.

As direct descendants of the Zhu family, their fates were never in their own hands.

Although Dai Mubai has lost his right to inherit the throne, the Xingluo royal family will obviously not give up on Zhu Zhuqing as a pawn.

However, if Zhu Zhuqing could become the Empress of the Heaven Dou Empire, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, at least she wouldn't have to face the threat from the Star Luo Royal Family anymore.

"Davis, what do you mean by that?"

At this moment, Qian Renxue's eyes turned colder and she said in an unquestionable tone, "From the day Zhu Zhuqing joined the Royal Fighting Team, she has had no connection whatsoever with your Star Luo Empire."

Both Davis and Zhu Zhuyun were stunned by these words.

This caught them completely off guard. They had thought that "Xue Qinghe" would agree to the proposal, but they never expected such a shameless response.

Davis quickly realized what was happening.

Since Xue Qinghe ascended the throne, there has been no news of him being obsessed with women, and he has not even appointed an empress.

Although Zhu Zhuyun's looks and figure are top-notch, given Xue Qinghe's status and position, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find a stunningly beautiful woman, perhaps even one whose looks surpass Zhu Zhuyun's.

This shows that the guy's main goal was to humiliate him.

You must know that he is not only a man, but also the crown prince of the Star Luo Empire, and the only heir to the throne of the Star Luo Empire.

Several years ago, Dai Mubai's martial soul mutated, and he completely lost his eligibility to compete.

If Davis were to offer Zhu Zhuyun, the future empress, to Xue Qinghe, not only would the Xingluo royal family lose face, but its strength would also be greatly reduced.

After all, Davis cannot unleash the Netherworld White Tiger alone.

From this perspective, Davis and Zhu Zhuyun's relationship is more like a business relationship; if Davis loses Zhu Zhuyun, he will lose an arm.

Even if he becomes emperor in the future, it will be difficult to change the current disadvantageous situation of the Star Luo Empire.

Because the Spirit Empire had a large number of Soul Masters participating in the war, the Star Luo Empire's army was simply unable to resist, suffering heavy casualties and becoming the weakest of the three great empires.

Perhaps Xue Qinghe intends to use this to weaken the Star Luo Empire's strength.

In this way, even if the two great empires form an alliance and join forces to destroy the Spirit Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire can take the opportunity to unify the continent.

"This guy's scheming is incredibly deep."

Thinking of this, Davis became even more wary and secretly resolved not to let them have their way.

Otherwise, his future ascension to the throne would be meaningless.

Having made up his mind, Davis stood tall and said with a firm expression, "Your Majesty, this is the only condition I absolutely cannot agree to. Please choose another condition."

"Change the terms? I'm only interested in your Crown Princess. Unless you agree to these terms, there's no point in discussing an alliance."

Qian Renxue glanced sideways at Davis, showing no sign of backing down. "As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits."

Once the Star Luo Empire and the Martial Soul Empire are locked in a life-or-death struggle, she can seize the opportunity to unify the continent, thus saving herself a lot of trouble.

Upon hearing this, Davis's face darkened. This guy was definitely trying to force him to suffer such a great humiliation.

Unfortunately, the situation of the Star Luo Empire is becoming increasingly dire. If it cannot obtain the help of the Heaven Dou Empire, it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed by the Martial Soul Empire.

If I had to choose between the two, it would definitely be easier to accept giving up Zhu Zhuyun.

After all, if the Star Luo Empire is destroyed, he, as the crown prince, will certainly not escape death, but if he abandons Zhu Zhuyun, there is at least a sliver of a chance to turn the tide.

"This matter is of great importance, Your Majesty. Please allow me to consider it."

Davis said with a wry smile.

Qian Renxue didn't press her too hard; she was curious to see what Davis would choose.

No matter what choice they make, the Star Luo Empire will be nothing more than fish on a chopping board.

After watching the show, Lin Mu was about to leave the palace when he ran into Davis and Zhu Zhuyun, who were rushing to catch up with him.

"Your Excellency Lin Mu, please wait!"

Davis rushed over in a hurry and blocked Lin Mu's way.

Seeing this, Lin Mu immediately stopped and glanced at the two people in front of him, saying calmly, "What do you want with me?"

Faced with this question, Davis smiled somewhat obsequiously and gave Zhu Zhuyun a look.

At Davis's prompting, Zhu Zhuyun stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Your Excellency Lin Mu, has Zhu Zhuqing joined the Wuji Sect?"

"Yes."

Lin Mu first readily admitted it, then changed the subject, his voice carrying a hint of threat and rejection, saying, "Let me warn you beforehand, I will not help your Star Luo Empire."

After his thoughts were exposed, Davis's smile froze instantly.

Since Xue Qinghe's path was not feasible, he could only turn to Lin Mu, since Lin Mu was the key to the Heaven Dou Empire's ability to defy the Martial Soul Empire.

If he can win over Lin Mu, then the Star Luo Empire can not only be preserved, but also regain its lost territory.

It's impossible to recruit a peerless expert like Lin Mu into your ranks, but we can find another way to establish a cooperative relationship with him.

"Your Majesty Lin Mu, this is not a suitable place to talk. Would you please find another place?"

As he spoke, Davis quickly glanced around, seemingly worried that others might overhear what he was about to say.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu pondered for only a moment before turning and walking towards the Wuji Sect, with Davis and Zhu Zhuyun following closely behind.

After some time, Lin Mu led the two to the council hall of the Wuji Sect.

Looking at Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo sitting to his right, Davis swallowed hard, his resolve growing stronger.

"Your Majesty Lin Mu, as long as you are willing to help the Star Luo Empire overcome this difficulty, I am willing to share the world with you after I come to power."

As long as Lin Mu can be won over, there will be no need to worry about the attack from the Spirit Empire, and we can even launch a counterattack.

However, Lin Mu had no interest in any of this and said calmly, "If that's what you're trying to say, you'd better give up on that idea as soon as possible."

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Davis's expression grew even more unpleasant.

What does this guy care about?
A moment later, Davis gritted his teeth and said, "If you're willing to help me, you can choose any woman from the Zhu family, including Zhu Zhuyun!" (End of Chapter)
