Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 228 What an ungrateful emperor!

Although Dai Mubai issued a gag order to the palace maids and stewards, it did not have a very good effect.

It can't be said that it had no effect at all; at least the most honored one in the Star Palace learned about it.

Early the next morning, a Soul Douluo-level chief steward knocked on the door of Dai Mubai's second prince palace. This Soul Douluo was directly under the Star Luo Emperor, who was Dai Mubai's father. Even Dai Mubai had to show respect in front of him!

"Your Highness, Second Prince! His Majesty wishes to meet you and your friend!"

The chief steward got straight to the point, stating the purpose of his trip, and then vanished without a trace.

For this Grand Steward, there was no need to curry favor with either Dai Mubai or Davis. Seven or eight years ago, Davis forced Dai Mubai away from the Star Luo Empire. He had never been close to Davis. Now that Dai Mubai was in power, he would not flatter him either. He always remembered that he belonged to the Emperor. Once the prince ascended the throne, he should retire!

But when Dai Mubai heard that the emperor wanted to see him and Han Feng, a solemn expression appeared on his handsome face.

"Old Bai, why do you have such a long face so early in the morning?" Just then, Han Feng and Ning Rongrong walked over and saw Dai Mubai's somber expression. Han Feng asked sarcastically.

Dai Mubai, however, was not in the mood for jokes. Instead, he said to Han Feng, enunciating each word clearly, "Fengzi... Father Emperor wishes to see you!"

"Your dad wants to see me? Fine, then let's see him!" Han Feng didn't react at first, and said casually, "A clear conscience fears no accusation, your dad wouldn't..."

But halfway through his sentence, seeing Dai Mubai's still unsettled expression, Han Feng suddenly realized something!

Although the Star Luo Empire's ancestral precepts stipulated that the two princes should choose the successor to the throne through a decisive battle, there was no strict requirement to kill the other party. However, Dai Mubai's father, the current Star Luo Emperor, did indeed kill his brother on the final stage!

A man who killed his own brother, a father who could watch his two sons kill each other, an emperor of one of the strongest empires on the continent—how could he be a pushover?

Even a fool could tell that the Star Luo Emperor's summons of Han Feng and Dai Mubai was definitely not just a simple chat!

Han Feng's smile faded, but he remained unfazed, continuing, "Don't panic! Your father isn't going to eat me, is he?!"

To be honest, there's nothing in the Star Luo Empire that Han Feng can fear. If it were before, Han Feng might have been a little wary, but after acquiring the Supreme Defense Isolation Domain, even an ordinary Title Douluo wouldn't be able to kill Han Feng in one blow. As long as he has a moment to catch his breath and summons Gu Rong, the Star Luo Empire, without a Title Douluo, obviously can't do anything to him!

The Star Luo Empire's greatest trump card is ultimately its powerful Martial Soul Fusion Technique!

"I don't know why Father Emperor summoned you... but Father Emperor is a fierce man, so please control your temper!" Dai Mubai frowned but didn't say anything.

"Okay, okay!" Han Feng waved his hand, saying it without much sincerity.

"You... sigh! Come with me!" Dai Mubai wanted to say something more, but seeing Han Feng's impatient look, he knew Han Feng wouldn't listen, so he could only sigh and walk out helplessly.

Han Feng chuckled and followed Dai Mubai outside.

"Wait a minute, Han Feng, take this!" At this moment, Ning Rongrong also realized the importance of the matter and quickly stopped Han Feng, stuffing the sword seal of Sword Douluo into Han Feng's hand.

"Ah..." Han Feng opened his mouth helplessly upon seeing this, intending to refuse, but looking at Ning Rongrong's bright and hazy eyes, he had no choice but to nod and accept the sword seal.

With this sword mark, Han Feng became even more fearless!

Seeing this, Dai Mubai's eye twitched involuntarily!

He realized that he had worried for nothing—or rather, he should have been worried not about Han Feng, but about the Star Luo Empire's palace. If Han Feng really did something stupid and blew up the Star Luo Palace, then he would be devastated!

The place where the Star Luo Emperor summoned Han Feng and Dai Mubai was naturally not a formal place. Dai Mubai took Han Feng directly to the Star Luo Emperor's bedroom.

Dai Mubai walked with a steady gait, while Han Feng was much more frivolous, but not too unrestrained. He also kept his eyes straight ahead, which could be considered dignified.

Upon entering the palace, Han Feng saw a dragon bed. A middle-aged man, who exuded an air of authority and bore a resemblance to Dai Mubai, sat imposingly in front of the bed. Although he was not wearing imperial robes, Han Feng recognized him at a glance. This middle-aged man, whom he had never met before, was Dai Mubai's father and the current emperor of the Star Luo Empire!

"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty!"

Indeed, upon seeing this person, Dai Mubai knelt down on one knee and respectfully pondered.

"This humble subject greets Your Majesty!" Han Feng was much more casual, bowing slightly as a formality, but without much respect.

"Rise!" Emperor Xingluo didn't seem to mind Han Feng's attitude. He gestured for Dai Mubai to stand up.

The Star Luo Emperor first glanced at Han Feng, but didn't speak to him. Instead, he said to Dai Mubai in a low voice, "I already know about what happened last night. Can't you even wait a year?!"

"Wow!" Even Han Feng, an outsider, couldn't help but exclaim in his heart upon hearing this!

The first thing the Star Luo Emperor said wasn't about Dai Mubai and Davis's relationship, nor about Zhu Zhuyun's injuries, and he didn't even ask about him, the "culprit." It's clear he doesn't care about Dai Mubai and Davis at all!

But Dai Mubai seemed used to it all. He showed no dissatisfaction, not even a hint of surprise. Instead, he stared intently at his father, as if making a vow, and said, "Father! Your son has no interest in the throne. If Your Majesty wishes, I may not appoint a Crown Prince after a week. But my elder brother has gone too far; I can no longer tolerate it!"

When Dai Mubai finished speaking, Han Feng clearly saw the Star Luo Emperor's eyes relax!

Good heavens, this Star Luo Emperor is actually wary of his own son!?

"What an ungrateful emperor!" Han Feng thought to himself, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"You may leave now! I have a few words to say to this young friend Han!" The Star Luo Emperor did not say whether he would establish a crown prince in a week, but simply waved his hand, dismissing Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai was initially hesitant, but thinking of the sword mark on Han Feng and the token given by Bone Douluo, he was no longer worried. After bowing, he left the palace and waited outside.

"What are your orders, Your Majesty?" In just half an incense stick's time, Han Feng had already lost much of his goodwill towards this Star Luo Emperor. His words were also quite frivolous. The Supreme Defense Isolation Domain had been quietly deployed. After the divine sense was blocked, even the Star Luo Emperor, a dignified Soul Douluo, could not detect it!

"Young Friend Han and Young Sect Master Ning have traveled a great distance from Tiandou City to Xingluo City. What brings you here?" The Xingluo Emperor revealed a friendly smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes. There was no pretense at all, and his aloofness towards Han Feng and Ning Rongrong was written all over his face!

Ning Rongrong, as the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, did not stay in Tiandou City but instead came to Xingluo City. As the emperor of the Xingluo Empire, he could not help but suspect the purpose of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School ultimately chose the Heaven Dou Empire!

In fact, in the eyes of the Star Luo Emperor, it was not so much that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School chose the Heaven Dou Empire, but rather that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was slowly eroding the Heaven Dou Empire. The current emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire was old, and Xue Qinghe, the crown prince, was Ning Fengzhi's disciple. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's elite combat power far exceeded that of the Heaven Dou Empire. Now in Heaven Dou City, the status of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School even surpassed that of many royal nobles!

As an emperor with an extremely strong desire for control, the Star Luo Emperor did not want the same situation to happen in the Star Luo Empire!

The Star Luo Empire spoke so bluntly that even if Han Feng had no political acumen whatsoever, he could understand it by now!

However, these words still sounded rather unpleasant to Han Feng.

"Since Your Majesty is so frank, this humble subject will not engage in pretense with Your Majesty. Whether Your Majesty believes it or not, Rongrong and I are merely visiting friends! We have no designs on your country whatsoever!" Han Feng said, his tone turning cold but neither humble nor arrogant.

"Alright!" The Star Luo Emperor, disliking beating around the bush, slapped his thigh and asked directly, "So when are you leaving!?"

"A hundred days at most! After a hundred days, once they get tired of the scenery, they'll naturally leave!" Han Feng said directly.

Han Feng realized that he seemed to have been too naive, only seeing Davis and not thinking about the Star Luo Emperor!

It seems that if the problem in Tiandou City is not resolved in 150 days, Han Feng will have to take Ning Rongrong to the far north, whether he likes it or not!

This Emperor Xingluo is not only power-hungry and ungrateful, but also suspicious!

In this respect, Davis is practically a carbon copy of his father!

"What did Father Emperor say to you?" After Han Feng left the palace, Dai Mubai hurriedly came up to him and asked anxiously.

Han Feng glanced at Dai Mubai, rolled his eyes, and said, "Your father was truly a good emperor!"

As for Han Feng personally, he didn't have much affection for the Star Luo Emperor, but he didn't have much dislike either. The decisiveness and spirit that the Star Luo Emperor displayed were indeed worthy of his position, but that was all. He was a good emperor, but not a good father, and even as a person, he was somewhat of a failure!

Although Han Feng spoke cryptically, Dai Mubai understood perfectly. He sighed softly and said helplessly, "The imperial family is truly the most ruthless!"

Upon hearing this, Han Feng glanced at Dai Mubai and said, whether as comfort or a reminder, "Don't worry about that! If you really follow in your father's footsteps and end up like this, I'll be responsible for giving you a good beating!"

"Thank you so much!" Dai Mubai, who was still feeling a bit sad, rolled his eyes and said irritably after hearing Han Feng's words.
