In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

"This information is all Ye Xishui's side of the story and has not been verified yet. It would be too early to act on subjective assumptions. I promise you, I will not report this information to the person above yet, at least... until I have met with Wu Tong."

After saying that, Dai Mubai seemed to have all his strength drained away, rolled his eyes, and slumped into a chair.

This incident means that the Shrek Five Monsters team is no longer easy to manage.

Ning Rongrong's sword and her grandfather's bone, and Ma Hongjun's agarwood, are the pains they can never shake off.

These regrets were all created by Tang San, the Sea God.

Although Dai Mubai and Tang San didn't have any major conflicts, don't expect him to be very loyal to Tang San.

Ten thousand years have passed; he should have figured some things out by now.

……

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar secretly followed Zhu Ningyun and her group to Xingluo City.

"Sister Zhuqing, we've arrived at your hometown. Shall we go in and sit for a while?"

Ma Hongjun stood in front of the gate of the Youming Zhu family, looking at the cat girls coming and going with a lecherous expression, his mouth practically watering.

Oscar said irritably, "Fatty, you're at it again! Didn't we agree that you'd try your best to maintain your devoted lover persona in front of outsiders? You're practically making the original Shrek Seven Devils look bad!"

Looking at his chubby good brother beside him, Oscar couldn't be more disgusted. In order not to let the Fatty Evil Fire tarnish the image of the Shrek Seven Devils, Tang San specially created a devoted lover persona for him to clear his name as the Brothel Douluo.

The effect was obvious. Many young men and women who read "The Legend of the Sea God of Asura" readily accepted the whitewashing of the evil fire fat man, naively believing that the generation of brothel douluo had changed his personality so drastically just because of a "sweet" love, no longer choosing to indulge himself, and wholeheartedly remaining faithful to Bai Chenxiang.

"Xiao Ao, Fatty, stop arguing and look over there."

As a clear, cold female voice rang out, Ma Hongjun and Oscar looked in the direction Zhu Zhuqing pointed and saw... Zhu Ningyun standing in front of a hotel, talking to a girl with fiery red hair.

"See that? That girl with long, fiery red hair is called Ma Xiaotao. She's a direct descendant of Fatty and Chenxiang, and is now the Seventh Elder of the Haiwang Family, in charge of managing the family's businesses in the Star Luo Empire."

Zhu Zhuqing took out a small notebook and explained some well-known information to the two idiots.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun frowned and asked, "Zhu Qing, is Ma Xiaotao also colluding with the demon beast clan?"

"No, based on the current intelligence, Ma Xiaotao and even the Haiwang family behind her have no connection with the demon beast clan. Don't forget, Zhu Ningyun was also a member of the Haiwang family before, and the two had a good personal relationship. Visiting her old subordinate on the way should... not be a problem."

Zhu Zhuqing made a hand gesture, and Ma Hongjun and Oscar understood. The three of them quietly moved closer to where Zhu Ningyun and her group were standing. Although they didn't suspect anything, it was still necessary to symbolically eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Xiao Tao, how have things been lately? The truce at the border hasn't affected your talisman business, has it?"

"The impact isn't that significant. Where there are Soul Masters, there's competition. There's no worry about selling talismans. Hmm... Sister Ningyun, why did you suddenly come to Star Luo City? And who's that older sister behind you who looks a lot like you? Is she a relative?"

"Let me introduce you. Her name is Zhu Ningyu. She is a Limit Douluo and my long-lost younger sister, my full sister from both parents."

After exchanging pleasantries, the four of them walked into the hotel chatting and laughing, everything seemed so ordinary.

Seeing this, Oscar frowned and said hesitantly, "Zhuqing, what do we do now? Private rooms in high-end hotels are usually soundproofed. Without using divine power, it's difficult for us to eavesdrop on conversations inside the room through a wall with just our hearing."

"Soundproof room? Humph, I'll just go in and listen openly. It's not like it's the first time I've done something like this, so why all the fuss?"

Zhu Zhuqing glared at Oscar, then tossed her hair behind her and stepped into the hotel. While Zhu Ningyun and her group were ordering food, she hurriedly slipped into the No. 1 private room.

The moment they sensed Zhu Zhuqing's presence, Zhu Ningyun and Zhu Ningyu exchanged a glance, a look of helplessness immediately appearing on their faces. They were increasingly unable to understand the thought process of the gods in this world. Didn't these dignified gods have a way to pass through the walls and enter the room? Why did they have to go through the main entrance? Weren't they afraid that they wouldn't go to the number one private room? Wouldn't they be embarrassed then?

In the end... Zhu Ningyu still gave Zhu Zhuqing some face and did not change the private room at the last minute. The four of them walked into the No. 1 private room and forcibly resisted the urge to look at Zhu Zhuqing. They sat down at the table.

Ma Xiaotao seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly stood up to bow to the three of them, saying, "Your subordinate Ma Xiaotao greets Your Majesty, Second Miss, and Young Miss."

My lord? Second Miss? Youngest Miss?

Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat surprised. Before entering the private room, she really hadn't expected that Zhu Ningyun and Ma Xiaotao would actually be in a master-servant relationship. Hiss... Zhu Ningyun is clearly the steward of the Haiwang family, yet she uses the power given to her by Ning Debiao to secretly form cliques. How dare she!

"My lord, what instructions do you have for me this time? If you give the order, I am willing to give up my life and pave a stairway to the realm of gods for you with my blood and flesh."

Under Zhu Zhuqing's gaze, Ma Xiaotao knelt down in front of Zhu Ningyun, raised her hands above her head, and offered the most sublime respect to the deity in her heart.

Zhu Ningyun said calmly, "Slaughtering for the sake of enlightenment is the worst possible strategy. If there were any other options, I would not have used the 'Blood Sea Plan'."

Hearing this, Zhu Ningyu curled her lip and said sarcastically, "I said... my dear sister, what do you mean by 'you would not activate the Blood Sea Plan if there were any other options'? Hmph, it's clearly the Shrek Five Monsters who suddenly descended to the mortal realm and disrupted your plans. Stop trying to flatter yourself, aren't you tired? As long as you become the ruler of this world, there will be great scholars to debate for you."

"And... dear sister, for the sake of your 'Blood Sea Plan,' I've developed a considerable force across the four great empires over the years, even having people within the Mingde Hall. Otherwise... let's just execute the 'Blood Sea Plan' directly. The Shrek Five are only five people; as long as we don't openly commit massacres, those high and mighty gods shouldn't notice our actions. It's better to rely on ourselves than others!"
