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

"Before heading to the Star Dou Great Forest, let's stabilize the situation in Shrek City first. If we can't reach an agreement with the Silver Dragon King, the beastmen and humans will completely break off relations and launch a large-scale attack on the human world. We can't afford any trouble in the rear."

Xiao Wu murmured to herself, then, while pondering, skipped and hopped back to Shrek City.

Seeing the Shrek Five still cleaning up the "hidden danger" underwater, Xiao Wu was furious. She put one hand on her hip, pointed at Dai Mubai's nose, and scolded, "Tiger Dai, are you guys out of your minds? Can't you just block the water outlet?"

"Little, Little Wu, it can't be stopped, it just won't stop!"

Dai Mubai was on the verge of tears. In this world, nothing is more tragic than having your boss ask you to do things beyond your capabilities, and you can't even utter a word of objection.

Looking at the city surrounded by the lake, Xiao Wu's mind went blank for a moment. She... seemed to understand the intentions of the person behind "A Yin".

The sea god is not a god of the land, so Sea God Island should be returned to the sea!

Hmph! All this effort just to force the Sea God Pavilion to compromise? No! Absolutely not!

"Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Zhu Zhuqing, you go back to the city and gather manpower. I don't need to tell you what you need to do, right? As for Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong, hmph, come back to the Sea God Pavilion conference room with me. I have something to discuss with you."

The scene shifts to the conference room of the Sea God Pavilion. After hearing Xiao Wu's plan, Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong's breathing became rapid.

Ning Rongrong stammered, "Xiao Wu, do we really need to go to the Lake of Life ourselves? If we want to bring Aunt A Yin back, we can just send a Title Douluo to negotiate. There are plenty of ways."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu pouted and said unhappily, "They've come to our doorstep to bully us, practically telling Third Brother to go back to the sea! You can tolerate this, but I can't!"

"I don't want to go, that's fine too. But right now, immediately, provide me with the position of the behind-the-scenes leader of the demon beast clan!"

Dai Mubai: "..."

Ning Rongrong: "..."

Are you crazy? If you want to go to the Lake of Life, then go. Why are you consulting them? They call it consulting, but they don't even have the right to offer any opinions. The Tang family is really hard to deal with.

After a moment of silence, Dai Mubai scratched his head and said in a feignedly naive manner, "It's not appropriate for a grown man like me to be Xiao Wu's follower. How about this, I'll stay in Shrek City to handle some internal affairs, and Rongrong will accompany Xiao Wu on a mission to the Lake of Life. I guarantee that Shrek City will be back to normal order when you return."

Ah this...

Ning Rongrong was about to retort, but the words just wouldn't come out. Damn it, Dai Mubai, that bastard, had completely blocked her way out!

Although it's said that it's better to die for a friend than for yourself, and best friends are just for selling, well... with Zhu Zhuqing's figure, it's really not appropriate for her to accompany Xiao Wu on her mission to the Lake of Life. She can't possibly steal the spotlight from her boss, can she?

"That despicable Dai Mubai!"

Ning Rongrong could only curse Dai Mubai's ancestors in her heart. If she found a chance, she would definitely make this silver tiger suffer and avenge the arrow she had shot today!

Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong pretended to be calm and said, "Then... Xiao Wu, before we go to the Star Dou Great Forest, shouldn't we draw up a plan, at least sort out our prices?"

"No need for all that trouble." Xiao Wu frowned and said irritably, "You noble ladies and gentlemen always like to do useless things. If you're going to negotiate, just negotiate. Why do you have to draw up some kind of rules? Do you even need to draw up those?"

"Let's go to the Haotian Sect first and call Da Ming and Er Ming. Since this is a negotiation, wouldn't it be a loss of face in front of the Soul Beast Clan if we didn't have two divine-level guards with us?"

Ten thousand years ago, when the Shrek Seven Devils were still earning funds for the academy at the Soto City Grand Arena, Xiao Wu looked down on the Shrek Three Musketeers. Ten thousand years later, she still looks down on them; she would be ashamed to have such people as her bodyguards!

After all, the two licking beasts were her brothers who had been with her for tens of thousands of years, so they were more trustworthy than outsiders.

And so, the man and the rabbit traveled at full speed and arrived at the gate of Haotian Sect in less than half an hour.

Two licking beasts hurriedly went out to greet them.

"Sister Xiaowu, what brings you here?"

The Titan Ape rubbed his hands together, his smile growing increasingly fawning, practically screaming "sycophant."

Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Well, I'm going to the Star Dou Great Forest to take care of some business. I'll have to deal with those ferocious beasts, so I thought I'd ask you to act as my guards."

Upon hearing this, the Titan Ape realized that this meant they were being made to be lackeys, to act as Xiao Wu's mouth mummies, and to disgust Di Tian and his gang of ferocious beasts. He was more than willing to do such a thing.

And so, the man, the rabbit, and the two beasts left the Haotian Sect, chatting and laughing.

Unbeknownst to them, the moment they left the Haotian Sect, a petite figure wielding two daggers crept up the back mountain of the Haotian Sect.

After today, the Haotian Sect will cease to exist in this world!

……

"Our family members, the deities of the Sea God lineage, have gone missing on the outskirts of the Lake of Life. We hope that you, Beast God, will grant us permission to enter the Lake of Life and search for them."

The Titan Ape emphasized the words "Beast God," his sarcasm evident in his tone.

Di Tian wasn't angry. Who hasn't fallen from grace? The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King clan was once the Dragon God's personal guard, and at its peak, the clan leader was a quasi-god king. How could he possibly argue with a rabbit, a monkey, or a bull?

Hmph! A bastard is a bastard, even if he becomes a god, he's still a bastard. All he knows is to bite back on his former master!

"The Lord is waiting for you at the Lake of Life. Come with me."

As he spoke, Di Tian turned around and walked away without looking back.

Asking him to give a friendly face to a group of traitors from the soul beast clan? Ha! How could that be possible?

The scene of Di Tian bowing to them, which they had imagined, did not happen. The Titan Giant Ape was furious and was about to teach Di Tian a lesson when Ning Rongrong stopped him.

"Senior Titan Ape, we are here to negotiate. Before the outcome of the negotiations, it's best not to cause any more trouble," Ning Rongrong said righteously.

Ning Rongrong is, after all, a second-level god with a divine position, and also Xiao Wu's best friend. So, the Titan Giant Ape naturally cannot ignore her words.

Seeing that Xiao Wu did not refute him, the Titan Ape was quite helpless and could only retreat back behind Xiao Wu in a huff.

The Titan Ape was very unhappy; a chance to openly teach Di Tian a lesson had just slipped away. (End of Chapter)
