Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Why not Chapter 357?

"Your Majesty! Observe imperial etiquette!"

Han Feng walked up to Xue Ye, patted her on the shoulder, and said something in a light tone.

Xue Ye's pupils suddenly contracted; this was Han Feng warning him not to say another word!

Xue Ye wanted to speak, but found that he could no longer make a sound—Han Feng had activated the Supreme Defense Isolation Domain, blocking Xue Ye's voice. Unless Han Feng wanted to, Xue Ye would no longer be able to plead for Xue Beng!

Xue Ye was still under the oppressive weight of Han Feng and Gu Rong, unable to move. All she could do was plead with Han Feng with a sorrowful gaze.

Han Feng turned his head slightly away, avoiding looking at the snowy night.

Actually, another reason Han Feng stopped Xue Ye from speaking was that he was worried that if Xue Ye continued to plead, he would hesitate.

The situation is what it is; an avalanche is certain death, and nothing can change that!

"Han Feng..." At this moment, another voice rang out. Han Feng looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Dugu Bo!

With Gu Rong holding his neck, Dugu Bo naturally dared not make any rash moves. However, seeing Xue Ye's desperate appearance, Dugu Bo couldn't help but think of himself. Because of the flaw in the Azure Serpent King's martial soul, his son had also died in front of him. He deeply understood the pain of losing a son. In addition, the Heaven Dou Empire had at least offered him sacrifices, so there was a connection of incense offerings between them. With both factors combined, Dugu Bo finally spoke up and called out to Han Feng.

Han Feng looked at Dugu Bo. He didn't know what this ambiguous guy was up to. He just narrowed his eyes, revealing an unfriendly look.

If Dugu Bo were to step forward and stir up trouble at this time, Han Feng might have to teach him a lesson!

Meeting Han Feng's gaze, Dugu Bo knew exactly what Han Feng was thinking. He quickly gave an awkward smile and said tactfully, "Han Feng, it's like this, Xue Beng is, after all, Emperor Xue Ye's only prince. You can't let the Heavenly Dou royal family's lineage end, can you?"

"How about this? I have a method: let Xue Beng have intercourse with a woman, and she will surely conceive! You can let the Heavenly Dou royal family keep a seed, and then kill her after the grandson is born!"

Dugu Bo's expression stiffened. This was ultimately just a delaying tactic. He didn't stop Han Feng from killing Xue Beng, but only told Han Feng to kill him later. It wasn't really stopping Han Feng, since Dugu Bo's words were reasonable and well-founded.

There's nothing I can do. A bond of kinship is a bond of kinship, and Dugu Bo would never risk his life for a bond of kinship!

If it weren't for Xue Ye's fatherly love for Xue Beng touching the soft spot in Dugu Bo's heart and reminding him of his deceased son, Dugu Bo would definitely have stood by and watched coldly!

Who is Han Feng?!

Although Dugu Bo didn't know how many powerful figures Han Feng had backing him up, the tip of the iceberg that had just been revealed was enough to make Dugu Bo tremble with fear. Dugu Bo didn't want to offend Han Feng, this nemesis!

Upon hearing this, Xueye's eyes gleamed with hope!

If what Dugu Bo said is true, and we can wait until the grandson of the emperor is born before killing Xue Beng, although we can't say that Xue Beng will survive, he can at least live for ten months!

What if Han Feng changes his mind in ten months?

At least there is still hope!

However, Dugu Bo was surprised to find that when he finished speaking, Han Feng did not show any anger or embarrassment on his face. Instead, he showed a kind of intriguing teasing and playfulness!

Han Feng's lips curled into a smile—Dugu Bo's words were exactly what Han Feng wanted to hear!

"Why go through all that trouble?" Han Feng glanced at Dugu Bo with a playful look and said meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo frowned, sensing that Han Feng's words had a hidden meaning.

"So what if he's the heir to the throne?!" Han Feng laughed loudly, then said to the direction behind Dugu Bo, "Senior Gu! We're in trouble!"

"Hehe!" Gu Rong's laughter rang out behind Dugu Bo—to be honest, Gu Rong's laughter was really unpleasant, giving people a creepy feeling, especially Dugu Bo, who felt the change in Gu Rong's aura behind him, and his hair stood on end!

hum-

At the same time, another layer of space on the throne distorted, and a beautiful figure emerged from it.

"Xue Ke!?" The moment he saw this figure, Dugu Bo's snake eyes shrank, and he exclaimed in surprise and doubt!

Even with Dugu Bo's sharp mind, he couldn't understand for a moment why Han Feng would bring Xue Ke here!

As if to answer Dugu Bo's doubts, Han Feng looked at Xue Ke and said leisurely, "Isn't it just an imperial heir? Isn't there another one? More than enough to be an emperor!"

"What!?"

Like a drop of cold water falling into a pot of hot oil, Han Feng's words stirred up everyone. Dugu Bo even exclaimed in surprise, completely losing his usual demeanor as a Title Douluo, which showed his astonishment!

A woman becoming empress—in the Douluo Continent, this is something that people wouldn't even dare to dream of!

Xue Ke, on the other hand, remained calm. She stood indifferently beside the throne, staring straight at Xue Ye with red eyes, clearly having just cried. Her eyes held a complex mix of emotions, including envy for Xue Beng. Even though Xue Beng and Xue Xing were wicked, Xue Ye was willing to abandon her dignity and beg for mercy for them. But Xue Ye never thought of Xue Ke!

She, the princess, was not even invited to the crown prince's investiture ceremony!

If Han Feng hadn't existed, and if Xue Beng had ascended the throne, what would Xue Ke's fate have been?

Will she die an old man in the palace? Or will she be married off to a foreign land?

In any case, Xue Ke is calm now. She is only thinking about how to be a good emperor after she ascends the throne!

After witnessing Han Feng's methods, Xue Ke no longer had any doubts about whether she could become the first female emperor in history!

"What? Does Poison Douluo have a problem with this?" Han Feng heard Dugu Bo's voice, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Dugu Bo with a cold glint in his eyes.

Han Feng's aura wasn't strong. Even in his Flame-Painted Martial God Body state, he couldn't possibly be stronger than Dugu Bo. But when Dugu Bo met Han Feng's gaze, he felt a chill run down his spine, as if displeasing Han Feng was an extremely foolish thing!

Dugu Bo shook his head almost subconsciously, and chuckled awkwardly, "Of course not! I just feel that a woman as emperor might not be accepted by the world! After all, no woman has ever held power before..."

"Why not?! Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall! Isn't she a woman? Rongrong is also a woman, and she's also the future sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!" Han Feng's cold light faded, and he raised an eyebrow, saying meaningfully, "Everything requires trying. Surely Your Majesty, Poison Douluo, knows that?"

"Ah..." Dugu Bo chuckled, but didn't know what to do.

Dugu Bo could already feel the chill emanating from Gu Rong behind him!

Dugu Bo was pragmatic and shut his mouth in a huff, but that didn't mean others would accept Xue Ke as emperor.

Besides Dugu Bo, there were also quite a few ministers and nobles present!

Unlike Dugu Bo, these people have spent their entire lives in the upper echelons of officialdom, and worldly rules have long been ingrained in their hearts. In layman's terms, they are stubborn and inflexible. If Han Feng were to force the emperor to abdicate, that would be one thing, but they cannot accept Xue Ke becoming emperor!

The fact that a woman became empress has profound implications!

But they valued their lives, so they dared not speak. They only dared to communicate with their eyes, heads bowed, not daring to utter a single word!

Compared to etiquette and law, they value their own lives and property more!

Han Feng looked around and could see through the group's intentions. While he was disdainful, he also had a headache. An empire cannot be supported by Xue Ke alone. It also needs ministers to assist it. A commander without troops cannot accomplish anything. But judging from the appearance of this group, they probably wouldn't be willing to assist Xue Ke. If these confidants of Xue Ye were like this, what about the others who had ulterior motives?

Han Feng can indeed make an example of someone to deter others, but that's only a temporary solution; you can't just kill them all, can you?

"I think Princess Xueke is quite good! Much better than that good-for-nothing!" Just then, a hearty voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

Upon hearing this voice, both Han Feng and Ning Rongrong were startled!

Xue Ke and Xue Ye looked completely bewildered, having no idea who was making the noise outside the hall.
