Douluo Dragon King: Doumu's Blessing, I Am the Star Lord

Leng Yaozhu nodded.

"Garlic bird, garlic bird, letting them see won't cost them anything."

Hearing his self-destructive words, Leng Yaozhu smiled slightly, her eyes fixed on the feather bracelet on her wrist.

"Welcome to this dinner party."

Dai Tianling smiled and began to speak, rambling on and on about pleasantries before finally getting to the point.

This banquet was essentially a matchmaking event hosted specifically for the Star Luo royal family, centered around the Sea God's Fate. However, there was only one true Sea Goddess.

The various families tacitly agreed to visit each other, using the occasion to socialize and network. The young talents were all eager to curry favor with Princess Dai Yun'er and rise to become royalty in one step!

But reality soon dealt them a heavy blow.

Standing next to Dai Yun'er was a bald, burly man with an iron tower-like appearance, his hands, as big as palm fans, were placed on his hips, and his face was full of fat.

It's obvious that strangers should stay away, and you'll be responsible for the consequences.

The infamous "Crazy Dragon" is renowned for his ruthless and unrestrained attacks, and he is backed by Enci, the strongest expert in the Star Luo realm. Anyone who provokes him can only consider themselves unlucky.

Dai Tianling's gaze fell on the three powerful figures: Hu Jie, Zhang Geyang, and Leng Yaozhu.

Feeling utterly bored, Ge You reclined in his chair and casually picked up a local specialty from Xingluo on the table to savor.

He can't possibly travel all the way to the Star Luo Imperial Palace to cultivate, can he?

Looking at his carefree demeanor, Dai Tianling said, "My dear nephew, why don't you go and chat with people your own age?"

Zhang Geyang and Leng Yaozhu remained completely uninvolved, and Hu Jie didn't bring Yan Ling along, so his plan completely stalled.

He turned to Hu Jie and asked, "Brother Hu, why didn't your esteemed disciple come along?"

Hu Jie picked up his wine glass and downed the wine in one gulp, his expression one of deep regret: "That kid has been in seclusion on Douluo Continent for a while now, and he should still be traveling at sea."

Your Majesty is aware that once the Star Luo Empire's ships enter navigation mode, maritime signals are blocked, making even communication impossible! I truly cannot do it!

Zhang Geyang sat to the side, desperately suppressing the smile on his lips.

This smiling tiger's cunning is definitely no less than that of Qian Gu Dong Feng. Zhang Ge Yang has been monitoring the navigation records of ocean-going vessels in real time. Yan Ling may be hiding somewhere, or she may not have come at all.

“But my son loves Her Highness the Princess so much, his feelings are so deep!” Hu Jie’s tone changed, his voice becoming slightly choked up. “He even talks about Her Highness the Princess in his dreams.”

Before leaving, he repeatedly instructed me to make sure this matter was handled properly. His Majesty knows I have no children, only this one disciple. If this young man fails to leave an heir, my lineage will truly end!

His words were so sincere and touching that he almost shed a few tears on the spot!

The resentment in Empress Xingluo's eyes was almost overflowing.

Dai Tianling sought out Hu Jie to discuss national affairs and the marriage alliance, intending to remain a sensible and virtuous wife in the Xingluo Empire, without interfering in their affairs.

But that night, Dai Tianling kept Hu Jie in the Imperial Study for a long talk. She sat on the bluestone on the back mountain for half the night. The wind was howling, and her eyebrows were furrowed. Why was the Emperor so obsessed with a fat man?

It's not that I've figured it out, it's that dawn has broken.

Dai Tianling's smile froze, and he cursed Hu Jieming inwardly as an old fox. Hu Jieming was clearly putting him on the hot seat.

Zhang Geyang seized the opportunity and added fuel to the fire: "That's right, Your Majesty. I think this young man from the Tang Clan is truly a talented young man. He has even met the princess in his dreams. Why not grant them their marriage? Wouldn't that be a wonderful story?"

Leng Yaozhu looked at Zhang Geyang with disdain; he hadn't been to Douluo Continent for decades.

Clearing his throat, Enci tried to smooth things over: "In my opinion, it would be better to discuss this matter after both parties have met."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Hu Jie's narrowed eyes. "Old bastard, you're really cunning!"

Zhang Geyang immediately understood the meaning in Hu Jie's eyes.

Could it be that the Tang Clan needs to form a marriage alliance with the Star Luo royal family? Stop making him laugh.

The Tang Sect and the Spirit Pagoda in the Star Luo Continent are at best just traveling to the lower realms in the novel. Their base of operations is not here, so they can simply give up and leave.

Dai Tianling, who truly needs a marriage alliance, cannot simply agree; otherwise, the Tang Clan would be unjustly inferior.

Looking to the side, the Spirit Pagoda seemed to be watching a show. Qian Gu Xing Ci was even casually fiddling with the phoenix feather on Leng Yao Zhu's bracelet.

With just a few words, Hu Jie cornered Dai Tianling, leaving her in a dilemma.

Chapter 122 A Battle of Wits: The Crybaby Long Yue!

This strategic retreat, if it proves true that the marriage alliance with the Tang Clan will result in the couple having to choose between reducing the bride price and increasing the dowry.

"That's not right. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and we should respect their wishes."

Dai Tianling's mind raced, and her gaze shifted back to Qian Gu Xingci. She smiled and asked, "Nephew Qian Gu, if it were you who were arbitrarily given a marriage, you would probably be dissatisfied as well, wouldn't you?"

Leng Yaozhu's smile suddenly froze.

The emperor's cunning was brilliant—a clever way to shift the blame eastward!

This presents Qian Gu Xing Ci with two dead ends. Following this opinion will help Dai Tian Ling out of her predicament, while expressing a different viewpoint will lead her into a trap.

You said you wouldn't resist an arranged marriage!

As expected of a powerful ruler who governs a country, he managed to drag the Spirit Pagoda into the mess with just a few simple words.

Just then, Zhang Geyang suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the hall: "To be honest, Your Majesty, Xingci was betrothed to a woman of exceptional talent as soon as he was born."

The two were childhood sweethearts, and their elders had long noticed their mutual affection, so they brought up the marriage proposal again.

However, the two were somewhat dissatisfied with being betrothed at birth due to their elders' influence.

They believed that marriage should be based on mutual affection, and that a marriage contract should be a testament to their love, not a condition that develops only after the contract is signed. Therefore, the marriage certificate was rewritten.

On the surface, the engagement proceeded perfectly, but the unspoken message was that they would refuse if they were not satisfied.

The question only had two options; selecting both or not selecting any made no difference. This way, the argument wasn't ruined, and the awkward situation was resolved.

As the branch tower master and deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, with Leng Yaozhu by his side, no one dared to object even if he interrupted, which was against the rules.

When masters clash, every move can be fatal.

"Is His Majesty going to bestow a marriage upon this young man?" If Dai Tianling dared to gamble his face against the Tang Clan on the cooperation of the Spirit Pagoda, Qian Gu Xing Ci would curse himself to live a long and healthy life!

As for how many centenarians there are, don't worry about that.

Enci quickly interrupted, "It's not good for young people to always hang out with us old folks."

A cold gaze fell upon him, and the Phoenix of the Nine Heavens lowered its head in anger, carrying an aura of power that could incinerate everything.

Enci has a huge "danger" character above his head, and this sentence has touched a nerve with someone!

"Father, Mother." Just then, Dai Yun'er skipped and hopped to the Empress's side.

The Empress smiled and patted her head, asking softly, "Yun'er, you've arrived. Did you have a pleasant conversation with any young noblemen outside just now?"

Dai Yun'er put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "That crazy brother stopped everyone, I didn't see a single one!"

As she spoke, her eyes lit up, and she saw Qian Gu Xing Ci walk up to her familiarly and say, "Qian Gu Xing Ci, it's been a long time."

Qian Gu Xing Ci nodded and casually replied, "It has indeed been quite a while since I last came to the Star Luo Continent by cruise ship."

“We just met at the Ascension Platform a few days ago.” A few black lines appeared on Dai Yun’er’s forehead.

"Oh? You're here too?"

Dai Yun'er struck herself very quickly.

"Then it doesn't count as a long time."

The text is riddled with grammatical errors; the Xingluo Royal Linguistics Education Center strongly recommends a thorough investigation!

A figure walking towards us, so tall he lowers the average appearance, is as imposing as a small mountain.

The top geniuses of their generation are like magnetic poles of the same name, repelling each other. The bald, muscular man's eyes were bloodshot; he must have been crying until they were swollen.

There are always people who want to bring like poles together to decide who is the real Magneto!

The meeting of the two continents' top geniuses took place under the spotlight. Who would claim the title of the greatest genius of this era has been a hotly debated topic on the internet, even sparking a vote.

As for the Douling Continent, it doesn't deserve to be served!

"Star Luo Empire, Dragon Leaps."

"The Spirit Pagoda, a timeless farewell to the stars."

Those within the family know their own problems; every family has its own troubles. Enci was afraid that Long Yue would go crazy and start a fight right there.

In this situation, with all parties present, saving face is very important, but what about the Bible?

He wanted to carve the content word by word onto Long Yue's flat brain, creating folds to constantly purify his soul.

It's true that the Star Luo Empire values ​​martial prowess, but they can't just attack their guests relentlessly. Even if the Star Luo Empire is truly desperate, sticking to their guns and detonating soul-guided cannon shells would be far better than this!

All we need to do is let Tongyu come out for a walk, just like performing a silent play. If he has any insights into turning a mongrel into a unicorn, everyone will definitely take notes, or at least clarify which brand of pesticide it is.

Someone will definitely drive this brand's stock price to its daily limit!

After being blessed by Enci, the Mountain Dragon King temporarily shed his crybaby state and, after a long pause, finally uttered, "The dragon race will never be slaves!"

"A dragon-shaped staff? A noble dragon would never circle around a broken pillar."

"Are you a dragon who has transformed into a human?" Qian Gu Xing Ci asked.

"No."

"That noble dragon has actually become your martial soul, that's truly a cause for celebration."

We are all part of the Martial Soul, and none of us is more noble than the other. Don't laugh at your second brother, eldest brother.

Long Yue's full power would be a state of wailing and crying, which is more like the posture of the Mountain Dragon King than the possession of the Mountain Dragon King Martial Soul.

The Mountain Dragon King himself shouldn't have gone mad; it's more likely a case of rejection due to blood type incompatibility!

"I... challenge you to a duel before the Emperor!" Long Yue stretched out a finger that was almost as big as Qian Gu Xing Ci's hand.

His words shocked everyone present!

"When will the fight begin, now?"

A young man who isn’t reckless is a wasted youth; at worst, we can destroy the Star Luo Imperial Palace again!

The air crackled with tension. Their conversation was undisguised; the Seven Kings of Monster Academy desperately wanted their eldest brother to prove that the Eighth King of Monster Academy was no bastard!

Dai Yun'er was basking in her own foresight, as securing a prime seat in the spectator section of the duel was incredibly difficult. Furthermore, she didn't want to rush into an engagement at fifteen, and besides, her relationship with Long Yue was genuinely that of siblings.

Even as a princess deeply favored by the emperor, her marriage was inevitably tainted by power struggles, but she could strive to marry for love!
