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

Feeling the pain in his lower back, Huo Yuhao's expression twisted to the extreme as he pondered what he had done wrong to end up in this predicament.

Even if he didn't invite Soraya to dinner, she... out of her curiosity, would she still come to Star Luo City to find him?

It's not anyone else's fault; it's Huo Yuhao's fault for being too outstanding.

Whether he reached out or cowered, he would still be killed. With no other option, Huo Yuhao simply lay down on the table, curled up, and cried, "Tianling, I can't answer this question. You might as well just hit me."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao began to throw a tantrum on the table, trying to quell Huo Tianling's anger in this way.

Just then, the door to the private room suddenly opened, and Xu Jiujiu, Zhu Ningyu, Xu Guihuang, Xue Jingshu, Chen Yu, and Mo Lian stood outside the door, witnessing Huo Dashenwang throwing a tantrum on the table.

The scene became very awkward.

"Sorry to bother you."

After a long while, he gave a wicked smile, hurriedly grabbed the doorknob, and closed the door once again.

……

The scene shifts to a room next to the interrogation room in the Star Luo City dungeon, where high-ranking officials from various factions are seated, staring expressionlessly at the scene behind the one-way glass.

After a long while, he slowly began to speak: "Seniors, this is the situation. From the moment we discovered Huang Jinxu's identity as a ghost until now, we still don't know whether he is actually the Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu himself. We have tried all the methods we could, and we really have no choice but to humbly ask for your advice."

Zhu Ningyu said quietly, "The dead are also a kind of life form, and the way they pass on their offspring is no different from that of humans. In that case, let's just find a brothel and let Huang Jinxu watch a chaotic brawl."

Upon hearing this, he stammered for a long time before finally saying, "Senior, will this work?"

Zhu Ningyu said irritably, "How do you know if it works or not if you haven't tried? Heh, among everyone here, men and women alike, if their cultivation were sealed, how many of them could control their desires with sheer willpower?"

"I'll go prepare right away."

After a long pause, he nodded and then dashed out of the room.

Huo Yuhao then arrived with his three female companions. Watching Xu Jiujiu's figure gradually disappear into the distance, he subconsciously scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Where is Your Highness Jiujiu going?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room frowned, showing no intention of explaining to Huo Yuhao.

Whether they are enemies or friends, judging from Huo Yuhao's usual behavior, no one can feel any goodwill towards him. He is always red-eyed and panting heavily. Who the hell would dare to talk to him?

Seeing the awkward atmosphere in the room, Mo Lian got up and kicked Huo Yuhao several times, saying in an annoyed tone, "If you don't understand anything, just shut up. Observe more, listen more, learn more, and ask less questions. Why ask so many questions? If you really have nothing to do, you can lie on the ground and roll around. It will give the seniors some fun."

Huo Yuhao: "..."

……

On the other side, Xu Jiujiu, clad in silver armor, led her personal guards into the gates of Yanyu Tower, the largest brothel in Xingluo City.

boom! boom! boom!

As three bursts of air cannon fire rang out, the singing in the hall of Yanyu Tower came to an abrupt halt. Seeing that someone was about to cause trouble, the guards raised by Yanyu Tower rushed out from all directions, angrily scanning the invading enemy in front of them.

But the moment they saw Xu Jiujiu's face clearly, their anger vanished instantly.

"The Misty Rain Pavilion... I've requisitioned it. Who agrees, who disagrees?"

As a cold female voice rang out, the noble young men still in the hall hurriedly got up, not daring to breathe, and dragged their companions out of the gate of Yanyu Tower without looking back.

That's a joke. They might be neglecting their duties, but that doesn't mean they're stupid. With Xu Jiujiu's current status, let alone temporarily requisitioning Yanyu Tower, who would dare say no to requisitioning the entire Xingluo City?

At this moment, the person in charge of Yanyu Tower stood trembling beside Xu Jiujiu, fearing that the young girl in front of him might, in a bad mood, push him out to be beheaded as a warning to others.

"Manager Liu, I need one hundred pairs of exceptionally beautiful men and women to engage in a chaotic brawl in the main hall of your Misty Rain Pavilion. We'll use every trick in the book. Can you manage that?"

Xu Jiujiu glanced coldly at the middle-aged man beside him, looking as if he would behead him at the slightest provocation.

Steward Liu hurriedly knelt down and pledged his loyalty to Xu Jiujiu. "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will do my utmost to complete the task assigned by Your Highness."

After saying that, Manager Liu hurriedly got up, subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead, and quickly summoned the other managers and staff of the Misty Rain Pavilion to discuss countermeasures.

Manager Liu didn't ask Xu Jiujiu what she was going to do, nor did he dare to. A nobody like him should just do his job; what right did he have to interfere in the affairs of his boss and superior?

After working for about an hour, the stage was finally set up. Just as the actors were in place, she immediately contacted the dungeon and asked Zhu Ningyu and the others to escort Huang Jinxu to the Misty Rain Pavilion.

Twenty minutes later, as audience member Huang Jinxu took his seat, a salute suddenly rang out, and this unprecedented performance finally began.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Two hundred people! A full two hundred people! Every pair of performers was giving it their all, putting on an extremely energetic show. For a moment, the entire hall was filled with unbearable sounds.

thump……

Just then, Huo Yuhao convulsed and collapsed to the ground, his brocade robe soaked through as if it had been washed.

"A megalomaniac!"

Zhu Ningyu couldn't help but curse inwardly. If she hadn't activated her soul power beforehand to suppress her inner desires, she probably would have followed in Huo Yuhao's footsteps.

Do you, Huo Yuhao, really think you're a god, that you can suppress your inner desires with just willpower?

Looking across the myriad realms, apart from those powerful beings who cultivate the Great Dao of Heartlessness, who else dares to say that they can calmly face the scene before them without using their cultivation?

Very few people can do that. At the very least, you, Huo Yuhao, are not one of them. You, a Tang girl, whose eyes are always bloodshot and who is panting heavily, still think you can resist the erosion of desire with willpower alone?

At first, Huang Jinxu was able to keep his composure, but as time went by, he felt his eyes becoming increasingly blurry and his body gradually reacting.

"Now!"

Zhu Ningyu suddenly shouted that, and the Illusionary Realm Super Douluo belonging to the Star Luo Empire's Hall of Worship suddenly came out and used his Ninth Soul Skill on Huang Jinxu, who was gradually losing control of his emotions.

"The one who destroyed the Tang Dynasty was the Qin Dynasty!"

With vacant eyes, Huang Jinxu slowly uttered this seemingly random sentence. (End of Chapter)
