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

"A conservative estimate... should be around 50%."

Dai Mubai said in a deep voice, "Old Tang, what are your next steps? The Silver Dragon King could make a move at any time, and it's not reliable to just send down a first-level god. The Sea God Pavilion cannot afford to suffer too many casualties, as post-war reconstruction is a troublesome matter."

Having served in the God Realm for ten thousand years, Dai Mubai's linguistic skills were top-notch. He didn't complain to Tang San about his lack of strength or how he couldn't continue investigating intelligence.

Instead, he directly pointed out the existence of the Silver Dragon King and, from the perspective of the Sea God Pavilion, persuaded Tang San to send more people. If Tang San remained unmoved, the fate of Shrek City and the Golden Tree would be beyond his consideration.

Tang San pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm... how about this, I'll give Xiao Wu the maximum authority and let her go down to the mortal realm to help you. Xiao Wu is naturally lively and not good at delicate work, so you and Rongrong should help her out more."

"Remember, if you encounter an imperial auspicious beast, do not kill it; suppress it instead."

After saying that, Tang San unilaterally hung up the call between the two.

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai in the Sea God Pavilion conference room was completely dumbfounded. An Emperor Beast? If he remembered correctly, the beast seemed to be a being that carried the power of destiny of the Douluo World and had been hiding in the Star Dou Great Forest. If Xiao Wu hadn't mentioned it by chance, Tang San probably wouldn't even know about the existence of the Emperor Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Is Tang San going to carry the God of Destruction's power and enjoy it alone?

Coming to his senses, Dai Mubai, noticing the four strange men staring at him, couldn't help but ask, "Why are you four looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

Before she could finish speaking, Zhu Zhuqing punched Dai Mubai's shoulder several times, saying irritably, "Which wild woman are you thinking about? You're so engrossed in her. Let me tell you, I don't care if you go out and find women, but don't expect to bring them back to the God Realm. You're not ashamed, but I am!"

"Zhu Zhuqing, are you crazy?"

Dai Mubai roared, "Can you stop causing trouble all the time? You keep talking about 'wild women,' what's wrong with them? Do they get in your way of eating or drinking?"

"Dai! Mu! Bai!"

Zhu Zhuqing bristled, and ten cat claws materialized, heading straight for Dai Mubai's face.

It's one thing for the gods to tease her a few times, after all... they have to maintain the image of the Shrek Seven Devils as a model couple who share weal and woe, but now... they don't even give her any face in front of their own brothers and sisters. Do they really think she, Zhu Zhuqing, is made of clay?

Before Dai Mubai could dodge, Zhu Zhuqing's cat claws left five deep, bone-revealing scratches on his right cheek.

Feeling the pain on his face, Dai Mubai's anger surged. He kicked over the chair Zhu Zhuqing was sitting on and slammed his fist, as big as a sandbag, down on her face.

"Brother Dai, please don't do this. We've been married for so long, what can't we say to each other? Why do we have to resort to violence?"

Ma Hongjun clung tightly to Dai Mubai's waist, using all his strength to pull him backward as if his life depended on it.

Ning Rongrong stepped forward at the right moment, quickly grabbing Zhu Zhuqing's arm and whispering in her best friend's ear, trying to persuade her.

What can Ning Rongrong do? She has lived for ten thousand years. She has experienced glory and desolation. Without Ning Fengzhi and the support of the Sword and Bone Douluo, even if she wanted to continue to be willful, it would be impossible.

Although she didn't like Dai Mubai, she could only earnestly persuade her best friend, Zhu Zhuqing, not to take it to heart, because... they had no choice and could not abandon their current husbands to associate with other gods.

Fairy tales are all lies, and the married life of the original Shrek Seven Devils is no exception. Not to mention Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, take Oscar for example. Ning Rongrong lost her status as a princess. Can Oscar still treat Ning Rongrong the same way as before?

Does he like the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the sweet-looking girl, or... Ning Rongrong herself?

Everyone says Oscar was willing to take a knife for Ning Rongrong. Haha, what kind of merit is that? Given Ning Rongrong's status, the number of people willing to take a knife for her could stretch from the gates of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School all the way to the Sun Moon Continent.

Life inevitably has its share of disappointments. Even if partners are not compatible, they can endure it for decades or even centuries.

But... they became gods and have lived for ten thousand years. They shouldn't have been a couple, but they lived together and had to pretend to be a model couple. Instead of developing feelings for each other over time, their anger only simmered over the years.

Dai Hao is so indiscriminate in his desires that he can even seduce a maid who does laundry. As an ancestor, Dai Mubai... wouldn't he also get involved with some female priests, hunters, third-level gods, or divine beasts in the God Realm?

Impossible to think about!

Zhu Zhuqing's actions seemed unreasonable, but in reality... she was simply venting the anger that had accumulated over ten thousand years. She didn't care that her husband was someone like Rong Nianbing; eight wives were fine, and even a few more wouldn't matter, as long as she poured her heart into them all.

The two are of similar strength and have the same godhood level. What normal woman would want to marry Dai Mubai?

Zhu Zhuqing left without any hesitation, without any fuss or unreasonable demands, and without even responding to Ning Rongrong's words. She walked straight out of the Sea God Pavilion conference room.

"Hmph, you're such a pretentious bitch! If you're unhappy... go find Tang San, why are you strutting around here with me?"

Dai Mubai snorted coldly, took out a recovery potion produced by the God of Life, poured it into his palm, applied it to the claw marks, and rubbed it vigorously a few times.

The next moment, the wounds on Dai Mubai's face began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he was completely restored in just a few breaths.

"Hey Fatty, come on, the boss's taking you to have some fun."

Dai Mubai glanced at Oscar without leaving a trace, then led Ma Hongjun out of the Poseidon Pavilion conference room.

At this point, only Oscar and Ning Rongrong remained in the huge conference room.

"Rongrong, can we... tonight?"

"waste!"

Seeing Oscar's timid and hesitant demeanor, Ning Rongrong became furious. She kicked him in the waist and stormed out of the Poseidon Pavilion conference room.

"Dad, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, Rongrong... Rongrong misses you all so much."

Ning Rongrong slumped onto the bathroom floor, tears streaming down her face.

The most glorious period of her life was not when she married Oscar, nor when she ascended to the God Realm with the Shrek Seven Devils, but... when she was cherished and protected by Sword and Bone Douluo.

From the moment the Sword Bone Douluo's soul was annihilated and Ning Fengzhi's hair turned white overnight, she realized... that immortality was also a sin! (End of Chapter)
