Douluo Continent: Starting from Leading Ferocious Beasts to Transform into Demons

Chapter 72 Dai Hao's Angry

"Yuhao, are you sure you want to join them?"

Electrolux appeared in Huo Yuhao's mental sea, his tone filled with obvious worry.

"Them? Which 'them'?"

Tianmeng Bingcan woke up from her silly laughter and finally realized that she might have missed something.

"I don't know either, teacher, I really don't know!"

Huo Yuhao's eyes revealed confusion, like a lost little animal with no home.

"Then let's grow stronger first, and acquire great power as soon as possible. Only in this way can we survive between the two sides and get what we want."

Electrox sighed softly. The conversation hadn't shielded him from it, and he wasn't that fixated on the race card.

It's just a pity that Huo Yuhao lost his parents at a young age, and now he's caught in a vortex for various reasons. No matter which side he chooses, he will lose something.

"Teacher, I understand."

Huo Yuhao tried his best to cheer up, forcing a smile onto his fair face, but anyone could see the unease hidden in his eyes.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm threw a tantrum, wanting to know what had happened.

During this time, he lived in constant fear, afraid that the gods would see through him. However, as Huo Yuhao's talent was revealed and he gained the favor of the gods, he became increasingly lazy.

Huo Yuhao patted Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's head, but didn't say anything.

Electrolux stood to the side with a resolute gaze. If all else failed, he would take his disciple and retreat into the demiplane to develop his strength. Once the storm had passed, he would emerge again to unleash the undead calamity and seek revenge.

There was nothing he could do; he was originally just a fragment of divine consciousness. Although he recovered a large amount of memories by tracing back to the source using knowledge, his energy level was limited, and even a skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice.

As for the issue of lifespan, as a necromancer, he still has many methods, but they are all things he has to do out of necessity.

……

"Ancestor!"

Dai Hao, with a resolute expression and still wearing armor, immediately knelt down upon seeing Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Ancestor!"

Behind him was a large, dark mass of people, all kneeling down; they were all from the Dai and Zhu families.

"I heard the Dai family has become emperors again?"

Dai Mubai looked at Dai Hao with a half-smile. Cold sweat broke out on Dai Hao's forehead as he knelt on the ground. This was not something he had asked for; Xu Jiawei had forced it on him.

Xu Jiawei had already offered to pass the throne to him, but Dai Hao resolutely refused. He already had a suspicion at the time and did not accept the throne of the Star Luo Empire.

However, Xu Jiawei didn't care whether you refused or not. Dai Hao had already led his troops out and issued twelve orders to urgently pass the leadership to Dai Hao. Anyway, you can't go back and refuse.

In addition, Xu Jiawei had already ordered all branches to leave the Star Luo Empire. At the time, some people did not understand and protested. In the end, Xu Jiawei used the emperor's order to enforce it.

The nobles were all baffled as to why this wise and mighty emperor had gone mad. When news of the Five Gods' descent reached the Star Luo Empire, the nobles were speechless. They then mocked the Star Crown Sect and took advantage of their misfortune, only to find that they had almost no one to turn to and had become the laughingstock.

"Reporting to our ancestor, it was the Xu family that voluntarily stepped down from their royal status. I could not refuse, otherwise it would easily cause internal strife within the Star Luo Empire."

Dai Hao's tone was bitter, but a hint of passion flickered in his lowered eyes.

How could he not want to be emperor? It's just that the Dai family was simply no match for the Xu family's accumulated foundation over thousands of years, and was forced to restrict its development.

Now, thanks to the prestige of his ancestor, he was forced to abdicate the throne, and he was secretly pleased, though he couldn't show it.

"Hmph, it's just a throne. I've also learned about it. Back then, due to some events, the White Tiger lineage suffered a decline in talent. In order to protect the White Tiger lineage, they voluntarily abdicated the throne. That's the right thing to do. After all, if you don't have the strength, you should step down. This has always been a tradition of our Dai family."

Dai Mubai expressed his undisguised admiration for that descendant from thousands of years ago. After all, if they hadn't done that, by the time they came down, the Dai and Zhu families would probably only have a handful of people left, barely surviving under the protection of Shrek Academy.

"So what about you? Have you taken any action to protect the Dai family members?"

His voice suddenly turned cold and stern; Dai Mubai had come today to avenge Huo Yuhao.

With Tang San taking a liking to Huo Yuhao, it was practically a certainty that he would become a god. Dai Mubai didn't doubt this, since Xiao Qi had already reserved the position of Butterfly God. The only question was whether to choose a first-level god or a second-level god.

However, he thought highly of Huo Yuhao, admiring his tenacious character and integrity. If Huo Yuhao did choose to take the surname Dai, he wouldn't interfere with what happened next.

"Protecting the Dai family's talents?"

A look of confusion crossed Dai Hao's eyes. He rarely went home and didn't care about his own family's affairs, so how could he care about the overall affairs of the Dai family?

However, he could also hear the anger in Dai Mubai's tone, so he quickly apologized to Dai Mubai.

"I'm sorry, Ancestor. It's because Dai Hao hasn't paid enough attention to this aspect."

Looking at the panic on his father's face, Dai Huabin felt something shatter in his heart. His father didn't seem to be so perfect, nor so noble.

The Duchess's mind raced. Wasn't Dai Hao's constant fighting and protection of the Dai family members a subtle way of hinting at something to her?

Who exactly caught the ancestor's eye? Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically pointed it out in such a situation.

The Duchess kept flipping through her memories of the people who had been suppressed by the various branches of the Dai family in order to maintain the status of the Duchess's mansion.

"If you don't protect your family, how can you protect your country? From now on, you must pay more attention to your family. The men of the Dai family will not be so spineless."

Dai Mubai looked at Dai Hao meaningfully, saying that applying appropriate pressure would be enough, and the subsequent handling would depend on Huo Yuhao's ideas.

Dai Hao was furious. How could his wife manage the household like that? She had caused such a mess and even affected his standing in the eyes of the patriarch.

He didn't think he was anything special. His only advantage over others was that he held the title of duke, but the person in charge could be changed at will and wasn't fixed.

Dai Hao now desperately wants to go home and point at his wife, asking her what she has done.

The Duchess's forehead was covered in cold sweat. At home, that is, the Duke's mansion, she quickly determined the candidate who could meet the old matriarch's approval.

That's the child of that bastard we couldn't be bothered with back then. We shouldn't have let him out in the first place if his situation was out of our control.

She didn't hate Huo Yun'er at all. After all, what she disliked was that Dai Hao couldn't control his lust. Even if she married him as a concubine, she could have done so. It wasn't like she couldn't afford to support him.

She just couldn't stand the fact that Dai Hao had slept with all sorts of unknown women and then came back to her; she found it disgusting.

He was indifferent to Huo Yun'er, showing no concern. She was just a lowly servant girl. Managing the Duke's mansion and cultivating relationships was already exhausting enough. Even the White Tiger Duke wasn't coming back, so why would he care about a woman who had been played with at will? What was the point of her fighting for favor?

However, a single attitude from someone in a superior position can kill a person, not to mention the jealousy of others.

Huo Yun'er was ostracized by the entire Duke's mansion. The Duchess naturally didn't care whether she lived or died. However, Huo Yuhao was Dai Hao's son after all, so she reluctantly let him go, thinking he should die outside.

The Duchess was filled with regret, never expecting that the boomerang she had shot would ultimately hit her instead.

This is meant to give Huo Yuhao some vindication before he became a lapdog; a simple transitional chapter.
