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

But... now that things have come to this, Huo Yuhao can only suffer in silence. If he suddenly loses his temper, it's a small matter if the deal falls through, but it would be bad if he angers Qin Xue and she reveals that he sold Shrek Academy team information.

After saying goodbye to Qin Xue, Huo Yuhao wandered aimlessly through the Soul Arena, looking for the next person to sell information to.

It has to be said that Huo Yuhao, single-handedly, has lowered the prestige of information brokers. People usually go out of their way to buy information, but Huo Yuhao has become someone who goes out of their way to sell information, which is extremely humble.

The problem is, even so, King Huo is still troubled because... he can't find another buyer.

The idea was wonderful, but reality was harsh. Suppressing Lu Qingshuang in this way was rather unrealistic. Whether their strength could match the Shrek Academy team was one thing, and whether they dared to defeat the Shrek Academy team was another. Apart from the Body Sect, Tianshui Academy, and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, he couldn't think of a fourth force that would dare to fight the Shrek Academy team to the death.

What should we do?

Suddenly, Huo Yuhao saw a couple deeply in love, cuddling together in a corner of the alley ahead. At that moment, his mind relaxed instantly, and an extremely sinister idea surged into his head.

……

The next morning, Lu Qingshuang brought two of the Shrek team's little fangirls to the cafeteria for breakfast. After getting their food, they had just found an empty seat when they heard... a whispering sound coming from not far ahead.

Extra A: "Hey bro, got the news?"

Extra B: "What?"

Extra A: "It's about Lu Qingshuang's past experiences as the captain of the Shrek team. Tsk tsk tsk, I was almost scared to death when I heard it last night. I never thought that a brothel girl would actually become the captain of the Shrek team."

Extra C: "Huh? A brothel girl? Bro, are you kidding me? Spreading rumors about the Shrek team captain is no small matter. Don't go overboard."

Extra A: "This isn't a rumor; I saw it with my own eyes. You should remember Shuang'er, the top courtesan at Gaoyue Tower in Tianhai City, right? She's the Shuang'er I once spent ten thousand gold soul coins to win her favor..."

Click...

Zhou Mo, a devoted fan, couldn't stand the foul language of an unknown soul master any longer. She forcibly removed a tabletop and was about to get up and retaliate when Lu Qingshuang stopped her.

"Mo Mo, there's no need to be angry. Just as my cheap husband said, I, Lu Qingshuang, am a courtesan, Shuang'er, the top courtesan of Gaoyue Tower in Tianhai City."

As she spoke, under the shocked gazes of the Soul Masters in the cafeteria, Lu Qingshuang stood on the table, untied the ribbon at the waist of her skirt, and began to take off her clothes one by one.

"Because I am beautiful, I was taken in by some nobles to play with when I was seven years old. At nine, I was sold into Gaoyue Tower and became its top courtesan. At thirteen, I awakened the Seven-Colored Dragon Martial Soul and spent six years cultivating to become a Soul Emperor. Three months ago, with the help of the Chen family of Hailong, I joined the Sea God Pavilion and became the captain of the Shrek Academy team."

Soon, Lu Qingshuang returned to her most primitive state. Surprisingly, apart from the two little fangirls, everyone else, whether male or female, chose to turn their backs, forcibly suppressing their physical instincts and refusing to appreciate the beauty's charm.

"I have no sense of shame that a woman should have, and I don't care if others know about my past."

As she spoke, Lu Qingshuang looked at the two little fangirls at her feet and asked with a smile, "Momo, Jingjing, now that you know about my past, will you doubt my past as a brothel girl, think that my body is dirty and I'm not worthy to be with you?"

Zhou Jing: ? ? ? ? ?

Zhou Mo: ? ? ? ? ?

Why are we bringing them up again?

Zhou Mo swallowed hard, glanced at Lu Qingshuang in front of her, and said with a fearful expression, "To be honest, if we had known about your past when Shuang'er joined the Shrek team, we might have looked down on you."

"But three months have passed, and you've conquered us with your absolute strength, becoming the captain of the Shrek team. Every time His Majesty the Sea God distributes subsidies, you choose to share them equally with us, instead of taking half like the previous captain did, and distributing the remainder according to the team's contributions..."

"Although... it may not seem like a big deal, I prefer working under Sister Shuang'er to having a boss who only cares about contributions and not personal relationships."

"So... even if the whole world insults you and betrays you, I am willing to bear it with you!"

Zhou Jing: "Me too!"

Hearing this, Lu Qingshuang smiled, quickly dressed, and quietly walked out of the cafeteria with her two little admirers.

Watching Lu Qingshuang's retreating figure, Chen Yu's gaze grew increasingly profound. She truly hadn't expected that the other party would resolve Huo Yuhao's attack in such a seemingly absurd way.

Yes, a woman, a woman who dares to take off her clothes in public, doesn't care at all about what others say about her past.

It's very difficult to morally defeat a woman who lacks even the most basic sense of shame.

The previous captain of the Shrek team has been kicked out. Although Zhou Mo is only the most humble of the six team members, her words are exactly what the remaining team members feel.

In this world, who would refuse a captain who treats them like human beings and shares money with them?

As long as the Shrek Academy team doesn't care about Lu Qingshuang's past, Huo Yuhao's little scheme will surely fail.

Recalling what had just happened, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but wonder, would Tang San really choose a woman riddled with wounds as his successor?

Tang San has a kind of mental fastidiousness. Whether he wants Lu Qingshuang to be his "daughter" or his daughter, it's unlikely that he would choose Lu Qingshuang, who comes from a brothel.

Huo Yuhao may not be the sharpest mind, but he understands Tang San better than anyone else. Upon closer examination, Lu Qingshuang's identity does not align with Tang San's expectations.

Would a father who locks up his daughter, who for over 20,000 years doesn't allow his son-in-law to touch her, and whose offspring are raised through bloodline, choose Lu Qingshuang as the next Sea God?

After figuring out the key point, cold sweat instantly poured down Huo Yuhao's forehead. If Lu Qingshuang was just someone pushed out by the Sea God's successor to take the fall, then who was the real Sea God's successor? Chen Yu?

wrong!

Lu Qingshuang cultivated from a quasi-Soul Master to a Soul Emperor in just six years, a talent that can be described as unprecedented and unparalleled.

And with the Seven-Colored Dragon Martial Soul, could she, Lu Qingshuang, be the reincarnation of the Dragon God?

Huo Yuhao felt utterly overwhelmed. Even after Zhu Ningyun's death, the conspiracies surrounding him hadn't dissipated; in fact… he'd stumbled into an even larger conspiracy. (End of Chapter)
