Douluo Continent: Twin Golden and Silver Dragons Shock Bibi Dong

The reason is simple: Dai Mubai is ruined.

A crippled man, crippled in both legs and even infertile, was in a situation that absolutely did not allow him to continue participating in the brutal struggle for the throne in the Star Luo Empire. He had lost all political value.

Now that Dai Mubai is crippled, Zhu Zhuqing, as his fiancée, has naturally lost her greatest value as a bargaining chip in the marriage alliance.

In this situation, if the Star Luo Empire continues to pursue the matter to the end for the sake of the so-called "royal face," they will inevitably offend Xuan Hao, this lawless madman, and the Title Douluo behind him!

How much is face worth?

Faced with absolute power, pride is just trash that can be discarded at any time.

Who among the major powers across the entire continent doesn't know about this?

Xuan Hao is a madman who doesn't even care about the three major sects and dares to single-handedly storm the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's territory!

The emperor of the Star Luo Empire dared not gamble.

He dared not gamble. If he persisted, what if this madman suddenly lost his temper and led a Title Douluo to launch a surprise attack on the Star Luo Empire's capital?

If the opponent were just an ordinary Title Douluo, such as Sword Douluo or Bone Douluo, the Star Luo Royal Family might still rely on their own experts and thousands of troops to stand up to them.

However, Dugu Bo's existence directly turned the Star Luo Empire's tough stance into a complete joke!

Are you kidding me? That's Poison Douluo!

The Spirit Hall is so arrogant and domineering that it dares to attack even the three major sects if provoked, but it doesn't dare to push too hard when facing Dugu Bo, the "poison gas bomb".

Even if Dugu Bo entered Wuhun City alone and swaggered in, the Wuhun Hall would still treat him with the courtesy due to a Title Douluo, as an honored guest.

why?

Because other titled Douluo kill one person at a time, at most killing a hundred or so at a time.

But if Dugu Bo were to go to Xingluo City, he could activate his Martial Soul True Body on the city wall and spread poisonous mist...

That would be a far cry from a matter of losing face; it would be a catastrophe that would wipe out tens of thousands of people in the entire Star Luo Kingdom within minutes!

Why provoke a living ancestor who can slaughter a city for the sake of a crippled prince who has already lost his value?

If the Emperor of Xingluo isn't completely out of his mind, he'll know which option to choose.

Therefore, Dai Mubai could only be an unclaimed "imposter," left to fend for himself in a corner of Tiandou City.

……

Following the tree-lined path to its end, Xuan Hao skillfully bypassed the Shrek Academy's teaching area and arrived at a secluded, independent villa in the grove behind the mountain.

This is Liu Erlong's private residence.

The area is surrounded by tall trees, which completely shut out the noise from the front yard, making it a rare and peaceful place.

As soon as Xuan Hao stepped outside the courtyard gate, through the waist-high fence, he saw two figures sitting at the stone table in the courtyard.

One black and one white.

The woman dressed in a black outfit, with a hot and mature figure, was Liu Erlong; while sitting opposite her, in a silver-white long dress, with a noble and elegant temperament, was none other than Tang Yuehua, the master of Yuexuan.

Upon seeing this, Xuan Hao abruptly stopped in his tracks, completely stunned.

How did these two end up together?

Although Na'er had casually mentioned in her report to him about the past year that Tang Yuehua and Liu Erlong had become more familiar with each other and had been in contact more often because of him, their "common bond".

But in Xuanhao's mind, one was a decisive and hot-tempered female dragon; the other was an elegant and dignified noblewoman who had been trained in the highest aristocratic etiquette.

These two women, whose personalities are completely opposite, even polar opposites, can actually sit at a table and chat peacefully over tea.

Chapter 358 The Self-Cultivation of an Older Woman

……

Driven by a desire to watch the spectacle and gather intelligence, Xuan Hao did not immediately go inside.

He silently concealed the fluctuations of his blood and soul power, and like a ghost without a physical form, he nimbly vaulted over the fence and hid behind a thick ginkgo tree, eavesdropping in secret.

Beside the stone table, each of them had a steaming cup of tea in front of them.

"This morning was the highlight for their Royal Fighting Team 2, why didn't you go to the Great Soul Arena to watch the match?"

Liu Erlong picked up his teacup, took a sip, looked at Tang Yuehua across from him, and asked casually.

Tang Yuehua sighed softly, put down the delicate pastry she was holding, and a hint of undisguised resentment and disappointment appeared on her beautiful face:

"What are you going there for? To watch him show off in the ring?"

"That guy went into seclusion at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for over a year and we didn't hear from him at all. Now that he's finally come out of seclusion, he's been back for so many days, but I haven't seen him come to Yuexuan to see me."

Tang Yuehua gently stirred the tea with her slender fingers, her tone tinged with grievance, "On the day of the opening ceremony, I was sitting in the VIP section, so close to him. Everyone in the audience was looking at him, but he didn't even lift his head once, and he didn't even glance at me once from beginning to end."

"Do you think... he's been soaking in the spring for too long, and it's messed up his brain, making him forget about us?"

Upon hearing Tang Yuehua's complaint, Liu Erlong curled his lip with a strange expression.

"Don't even mention it. I was in the stands that day, and he didn't even look at me."

Liu Erlong snorted coldly, but there was a hint of sourness in his tone, "But then again, he's now a peerless fiend who's famous throughout the continent, surrounded by a circle of beautiful young girls, why would he think of old aunties like us?"

"Ugh……"

Tang Yuehua shook her head and comforted herself, "Maybe I'm overthinking it. He made such a big fuss at the opening ceremony to establish his authority. He must have been busy with important matters, so it's normal that he didn't have time to look at the VIP seats."

"If you can't even attend the opening ceremony, what about afterwards?"

Liu Erlong slammed his hand on the table, his temper clearly much more impatient than Tang Yuehua's. "The qualifiers have been going on for almost seven days! That kid only showed his face on stage in the first two matches, and for the last few days he's been acting like a king in the lounge. He's so bored he could grow mushrooms on the sofa, and I haven't seen him even move an inch to say hello!"

Liu Erlong grew angrier the more he thought about it. He turned to Tang Yuehua and suggested, "Since he's not coming to us, why don't we just go find him ourselves?"

"Don't go!"

Tang Yuehua shook her head decisively without even thinking, "If you want to go find them, go find them yourself. I'm definitely not going."

"Why?" Liu Erlong asked, puzzled.

Don't you feel embarrassed?

Tang Yuehua sighed, "You know what kind of situation he's in right now. Ning Fengzhi's daughter, Dugu Bo's granddaughter, and that Na'er who's always clinging to him... those girls, the oldest of them is only twenty!"

"What can we do there? Just stare at those little girls who are old enough to be our daughters?"

Tang Yuehua shook her head with a wry smile, "I just can't stand it. Just thinking about that scene makes me feel uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Liu Erlong deflated like a punctured balloon and slumped back in his chair helplessly.

"That's true, I'm too embarrassed to go."

Liu Erlong scratched his head in frustration. "After all, the age gap is huge, two whole generations! Even though we can be shameless and date him in private, it's really hard to imagine us facing all those pretty young girls around him..."

"It's fine to occasionally bump into them or have some contact with them. But if we were to actually sit at the same table with them, or even live under the same roof, that would be pure torture!"

Liu Erlong curled her lips, recalling Xuan Hao's despicable behavior, and added, "Besides, if that bastard Xuan Hao doesn't behave himself in front of them and deliberately tries to touch them, he'll be even more ashamed to show his face. I'd rather find a crack in the ground to crawl into!"

In the midst of the two sighing and vehemently denouncing Xuan Hao,

Sudden.

"Whoosh-"

A silver head suddenly emerged upside down from the narrow gap between the two people on the stone table!

"Why don't you just send someone a message for me?"

Xuan Hao, hanging upside down from the tree trunk above the stone table, looked at the two terrified people and said matter-of-factly, "If you had just given the word, wouldn't I have rolled over here in no time? Why are you sighing and complaining here?"

"what--!"

"I rely on!"

This sudden turn of events startled the two unsuspecting individuals!

Liu Erlong instinctively threw a punch, but fortunately she reacted quickly and stopped her fist half an inch from the tip of his nose when she saw that it was Xuan Hao's annoying face.

Tang Yuehua was so frightened that her face turned pale. She leaned back sharply, causing the stone bench beneath her to lose its balance and almost fall backward!

"careful!"

Xuan Hao reacted quickly, his legs suddenly loosened, and he flipped off the tree trunk, landing steadily on the ground.

At the same time, he stretched out his long arm and grabbed Tang Yuehua's slender waist, pulling her back into his arms.

"Hey grandma, aren't you a little too timid?"

Xuan Hao, with his arm around Tang Yuehua, couldn't help but tease her.

Tang Yuehua, still shaken, patted her ample chest and glared at him irritably: "Can you stop walking like a ghost, making no sound at all, and then suddenly popping up to scare people?!"

"How can you blame me?"

Xuan Hao feigned innocence, protesting his innocence, "I climbed over into the yard and listened from behind the tree for ages. You two were so engrossed in your conversation that you didn't even notice me approaching. Your vigilance is terrible!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua's expression instantly became somewhat unnatural, and a blush rose to her fair cheeks: "You...you heard everything?"

That bastard overheard all their private conversation about the age gap, jealousy, and awkwardness!

"Cough, I heard a little bit."

Xuan Hao awkwardly touched his nose and quickly changed the subject, explaining why he had been out of contact for the past few days:

"I haven't come to see you these past few days, it's not that I forgot about you. There's just been so much going on!"

"Think about it, I just came out of seclusion. I have to deal with the opening ceremony of the competition, right? I have to handle the mess between Tianshui Academy and Chihuo Academy, right? And there's the mess that my Tiandou Self-Improvement Association has been accumulating for more than a year, waiting for me to make a decision."

"Plus, His Highness the Crown Prince has been dragging me around these past few days to discuss all sorts of shady matters. I've been so busy I haven't had a moment to spare. I just finished up and came straight here to see you all."

"Ha, keep making things up."

Liu Erlong sat beside him, arms crossed, her face full of disdain as she exposed him.

"I think what you're saying is secondary, isn't it? You haven't been back for over a year, I don't know if things have gotten out of hand at home. But I reckon you'll have to take care of those pretty young girls one by one before you'll have the energy to come here and say a few perfunctory words, right?"

Xuan Hao was speechless for a moment.

"Big sister, they've been the absolute main force in the qualifiers lately, fighting in the ring every day!"

"What am I supposed to serve? If I really did what you say, running around in the middle of the night to torment them, making them sore and weak, how would they be able to compete the next day? Wouldn't that be embarrassing them on the stage?"

"During this period, at most I would just hold Na'er at night and sleep peacefully. Forget about practical experience, I didn't even get a penny of extra income!"
