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

The ball ended on such a sour note.

No one was optimistic about the marriage between Dai Yun'er and Tang Wulin.

According to intelligence, Tang Wulin's parents are both first-ring Soul Masters, the kind who could be easily killed by a small storm. Tang Wulin would not take that risk by bringing his parents to the Star Luo Continent.

Is it possible that the Xingluo royal family will marry off Dai Yun'er?

Even with the backing of his junior brothers Lingfeng Douluo and Tiancan Douluo, Tang Wulin's interpersonal relationships are not as simple as they seem. Surely the Star Luo Empire wouldn't marry Dai Yun'er off to the Douluo Continent?

With such a golden son-in-law as Long Yue right in front of them, why would the Star Luo royal family need to look far away?

Humans are creatures who love to watch a spectacle, and Soul Masters are no exception. Sure enough, the young lady of the Xu family of Star Crown specially set up a betting shop on the black market in Star Luo City, where people could place bets on who would win the Cat Girl's heart...

The scene shifts to the Starry Palace, specifically the Starry Sky Palace.

Dai Tianling looked at her pouting daughter, her face extremely unpleasant. "I'll ask you one last time, are you going to marry Long Yue or not?"

"You can marry him if you want, I'm not getting married."

Dai Yun'er was clearly getting impatient, and she lay down on the ground and threw a tantrum, trying to fight against her fate in this way.

Seeing this, Dai Tianling's anger dissipated by more than half. Dai Yun'er was still too young. If she waited another ten years or so, until she was nearly thirty, she probably wouldn't resist the marriage proposal anymore.

But... there are no buts. With a great battle imminent, Enci, the chief retainer of the Star Luo Empire and the God Domain Douluo, is preparing to leave Star Luo City to seek an opportunity to break through to the Limit Douluo level.

The heavy responsibility of guarding Xingluo City will fall on Long Yue's shoulders. No matter how much the Xingluo royal family takes care of Long Yue, it will all be in vain. As the saying goes, people's hearts are unpredictable. Marrying Dai Yun'er into the family will at least provide some protection and firmly bind Long Yue to the Xingluo royal family.

He had said these words to Dai Yun'er no less than a hundred times, but Dai Yun'er didn't take them seriously. She stubbornly believed that her brother-sister relationship with Long Yue was already so good that they shared the same dress, and there was no need for them to become husband and wife.

Silly girl, can a husband and wife who share a bed be the same as a brother and sister in name only? Look how much Long Yue dotes on you now, treating you like his own sister, but what about later? When you're both grown up, Long Yue gets married and has children, and you, Dai Yun'er, are married, will this relationship still be able to continue as before?

Unless... Dai Yun'er becomes the head of the White Tiger Dai family and the Empress of the Star Luo Empire, and uses Long Yue's seed to conceive offspring.

The problem is... Dai Yun'er can only ascend the throne if all her brothers are dead.

……

After leaving the palace, Long Yue broke away from his group and wandered aimlessly through the streets of Xingluo City.

As the top student of the Star Luo Royal Academy and the future chief retainer of the Star Luo Empire, Long Yue faces immense pressure, bearing responsibilities he shouldn't have had to shoulder at such a young age.

Ugh! This is so annoying!

It's really unpleasant to have your fate controlled by others!

Long Yue is also a person, not a robot that only follows orders. He has some feelings for Dai Yun'er and does not reject being with her. It's just that... he doesn't want to force Dai Yun'er to do things she doesn't want to do.

They're both not even twenty years old yet, and Dai Yun'er isn't even fifteen this year. Can't they get engaged in private first, live their own lives, and then get married when they're in their thirties or forties?

"Brother Longyue."

Just then, a slightly rough female voice entered Long Yue's ears.

Long Yue subconsciously turned around and looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw... a burly woman dressed in coarse cloth standing in a dark corner.

The moment Long Yue saw the woman's face clearly, his thoughts instantly returned to his childhood.

His parents died early, and he relied on his uncle for support since childhood. His uncle was in poor health and could not work all the time. Fortunately, the blacksmith's family next door was kind. Seeing that Long Yue was strong and healthy, they let him work as an assistant in the blacksmith's shop.

The blacksmith uncle only had one daughter, named Yan Miaomiao, who followed him around every day calling out "Brother Longyue, Brother Longyue".

Then an accident happened: the Green Skull organization breached his city, and his uncle, the entire Yan family, and even his familiar neighbors were buried in the ruins.

Turning around, Long Yue quickly stepped forward, grabbed the other's small hand, and asked excitedly, "Are you Miaomiao? You, you're still alive?"

"Brother Longyue, it's me. I didn't die. An auntie saved me."

Yan Miaomiao showed no joy at the reunion with an old friend. She forced back her tears and said with a forced smile, "Brother Longyue, it's so good. If Father, Mother, and Uncle Song (Longyue's uncle) were alive, they would be so proud of you."

As she spoke, Yan Miaomiao broke free from Long Yue's grasp, clenched her small fists, and at this moment, she could no longer control her emotions, and two lines of clear tears flowed down her cheeks.

"I know that with my status, I am not qualified to contact you, Crazy Dragon, but I... but I just wanted to see if the Crazy Dragon that everyone talks about is really the Brother Long Yue that I know."

The latest novel is first published here!

Ugh!

Yan Miaomiao sighed, then turned around, as if to leave the scene.

Long Yue rushed forward and pulled Yan Miaomiao into his arms. "Miaomiao, don't go!"

"But we... are from two different worlds." Yan Miaomiao whispered, "Brother Long Yue, please, let me go. I'm not the same as before. I'm a second-ring Great Soul Master, and I have excellent forging skills. I can make a living anywhere. When I have a child, I will definitely let him know... that he has an uncle who is the chief retainer in the Star Luo Empire."

Upon hearing this, Long Yue's breathing became rapid, and he clenched his teeth so hard they clattered.

Nobles and high-ranking officials were never born into nobility.

If Dai Yun'er hadn't been born into the Dai family and hadn't had an emperor as her father, how could she have been surrounded by so many people?

Similarly, Long Yue is the future chief retainer of the Star Luo Empire. Why would he use his authority to take care of his sister?

"Miaomiao, I don't care what faction you joined or what you did before... I won't ask about these things, and I don't want to ask about them. From today onwards, you will behave yourself as a noble lady. If anyone dares to touch you, they will have to step over my dead body first... Come on, brother will take you to buy clothes."

As he spoke, Long Yue pulled Yan Miaomiao toward the commercial street.

The essence of the honey trap is never the beauty herself, but the unattainable ideal that only exists in memory.

Long Yue wasn't stupid. Yan Miaomiao's sudden appearance at this critical juncture must have some kind of inexplicable strangeness, but so what?

Looking across the entire Star Luo Continent, which power can surpass the Star Luo Empire? (End of Chapter)
