Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 300: As long as the money is right, even the God King dares to cut down enemies.

That day, Ning Zhirou and her daughter Ning Tian talked a lot. No one knows a daughter better than her mother, and Ning Zhirou knew best what her daughter was thinking.

It's simply that I feel my first love's idealized image has been shattered.

The person I liked the most suddenly became the ruler of all soul beasts. Even the strongest soul beasts like the Ice Emperor and the Demon King had to respectfully follow behind him. The gap between them suddenly widened to the point where they couldn't even see each other's backs.

The actual age difference is secondary; the more important question is, is the Lin Yun she sees truly Lin Yun himself?

While Lin Yun and Ning Zhirou were talking, Ning Tian did not interrupt, silently watching this familiar yet unfamiliar young man who seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist.

Did I ever truly know him?

Ning Tian was confused, which Ning Zhirou could tell at a glance. But to be honest, matters of the heart cannot be resolved with just a few words from others. However, both Ning Tian and Ning Zhirou understood one thing.

The gifts of fate always come with a hidden price; once they've chosen this path, there's no turning back.

Ning Zhirou believed that her daughter would not be confused for long.

……

the other side.

Lin Yun felt incredibly satisfied after showing off and running away. No wonder that scoundrel was so keen on training dogs, even to the point of being tireless in it. It's just that this kind of subtle showing off is so addictive!

The other soul beasts, on the other hand, were somewhat puzzled.

As the group strolled through the spatial passage, the outspoken (and somewhat stubborn) Hyotei was the first to ask, "Your Majesty, isn't this too simple? Humans are all treacherous and cunning; are you really just going to leave like this? Shouldn't you leave some people to keep an eye on them?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tian and Snow Emperor also turned their gazes over. Although they did not speak, it is likely that their thoughts were similar to Ice Emperor's.

On the contrary, the Demon King followed at the very back, looking calm and collected, extremely composed.

"You've been with me for years, how come you still haven't learned how to judge people?" Lin Yun smiled helplessly, pulled Hyotei into his arms and stroked her pigtails.

"I'm a soul beast! Why should I bother understanding humans?" Ice Empress didn't struggle against Lin Yun's actions, instead confidently placing her hands on her hips and saying, "Besides, with you here, Venerable One, it doesn't really matter whether I'm affected or not!"

Lin Yun patted his forehead.

How do you manage to say you're brainless without batting an eye?! Is that something to be proud of?!

However, Lin Yun didn't mind taking a little time to explain to them, so they wouldn't have to live in constant fear: "Before explaining this, Demon King, are you confident in the tree seed you planted in Ning Zhirou's spiritual sea?"

"Of course!" At this, the Demon King was no longer sleepy. "Unless the Evil Emperor personally intervenes, absolutely no one in the entire Douluo Continent can remove the seed I planted in her spiritual sea!"

The Demon Eye Tree is one of the few spiritual attribute spirit beasts among plant spirit beasts. Their spiritual power is not particularly outstanding in terms of attack, but they are unparalleled in terms of illusion and control.

As the fifth-ranked of the ten most ferocious beasts, the Demon King can confidently say that unless the Evil Eye Tyrant personally intervenes, no one can undo his methods.

Even if there were any, the moment they touched the tree seed, the Demon King would notice and detonate it, instantly killing Ning Zhirou.

In other words, only the Evil Eye Tyrant could remove the tree seed from Ning Zhirou's spiritual sea while preserving her life.

Otherwise, as long as the tree seed is still rooted in her spiritual sea, if she has any thoughts of betraying Lin Yun or the soul beast clan, whether she speaks them aloud, writes them down, or tells others through spiritual communication, the tree seed will detonate immediately.

Could the Evil Eye Tyrant help Ning Zhirou solve the problem of tree seeds?

Of course not.

Even if the Evil Emperor and the Holy Spirit Cult cooperate, that is on the premise of not affecting its Demon Forest. The Evil Emperor can deal with the tree seeds, but the tree seeds are not dead. When the Evil Emperor takes action, the King of Ten Thousand Demons will transform into himself and talk to him, telling him that the tree seeds he planted were to restrain Ning Zhirou and prevent her from betraying the soul beasts.

As fellow rulers of the Soul Beast race, the Evil Emperor would certainly give them face. For the sake of the Soul Beast race, he might even slap Ning Zhirou to death, or strengthen the Tree Seed of the Ten Thousand Demon King. Just as Shrek Academy and the Body Sect would unite against the beast tide of the Star Dou Great Forest, even though Di Tian and the Evil Emperor had once fought a great battle over the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, from the perspective of the Soul Beasts, this ruler of the Demon Forest would still stand against humanity.

Let's go back to the original question.

"So you understand now?" Lin Yun said with a smile.

"Humans are indeed cunning and treacherous. This is a unique wisdom and talent that humans possess because they know how to use their brains. Although they are not like us soul beasts where the strong prey on the weak, those with quick minds can undoubtedly live a more comfortable life in the human world. Everyone wants to climb up and racks their brains to squeeze their thoughts to the limit."

"If we soul beasts want to survive, and to live better, we must constantly become stronger, so strong that no other soul beast dares to treat us as food, while we can treat all other soul beasts as food."

"Humans are different. Besides becoming stronger, humans also need to communicate. To thrive in the treacherous human world, they can only become more insidious and cunning, more hypocritical and sanctimonious than others. Unless one possesses overwhelming power and can completely ignore these things, it is unavoidable."

"In the end, these are just means to survive, and necessary conditions for living better."

Lin Yun's words completely baffled Hyotei, leaving his large eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment, much like a contemporary college student.

On the contrary, Di Tian, ​​Xue Di, and Wan Yao Wang had thoughtful expressions.

Different words should be spoken by different people. For example, in the original work, Di Tian told Huo Yuhao that there are too many useless formalities among humans. When Huo Yuhao responded that these are unique customs among humans, Di Tian said dismissively that he did not care about them.

But if Lin Yun were to say these things, Di Tian would think about the meaning of Lin Yun's words and whether they would be of any help to their counterattack against humanity and the divine realm.

There will definitely be help...

At least the Demon King immediately understood: "Our Venerable One has satisfied the desires of the sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and promised her benefits that she could not refuse. Everything she wanted has been taken care of by our Venerable One, so naturally she won't bother to betray us, because no one but us can give her the same thing."

In short: as long as you pay enough, even the God King will dare to cut you down!

Those who say life is more important than money are simply not spending enough!

The money here represents not only currency, but also resources and interests. As long as the price is high enough, no one's life is beyond buy!

For example, if someone could resolve the Destruction God King's desire to expand the God Realm and also address the infertility caused by the conflict between the Destruction and Life God positions, the two of them would definitely go all out to deal with Tang San.

This is profit!

"Smart." Lin Yun snapped his fingers. "Of course, more importantly, we demonstrated enough strength to annihilate them, so that once they took the goods, they would only work for us."

"Otherwise, there would be plenty of people who want something for nothing!"

However... some people and some soul beasts have limited brain capacity. Even though Lin Yun and the Demon King had explained it very clearly, Ice Empress still had a vague understanding. She could only understand the reasons behind this matter through Lin Yun's explanation, but if she were to use this matter to understand and speculate on human thoughts, she definitely couldn't do it.

To put it bluntly, she simply copied the answers to her homework, but when the same homework was done with a different formula, she couldn't understand it or do it.

Looking at the silly little girl in his arms, Lin Yun twitched the corner of his mouth and finally gave up on the idea of ​​"cultivating" Hyotei into a talent. As the saying goes, you can't make a rotten tree out of a mud wall.

While Hyotei isn't exactly a complete failure, there's really no need to make things difficult for her in this regard. It would be better for Xiao Bing'er to be a happy princess and a professional fighter.

With Lin Yun and the Demon King's explanation, Di Tian and Xue Di understood Lin Yun's plan and stopped worrying about whether the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School would rebel.
