"Eradicate him?"
"That's right. In recent years, the Star Luo Empire has been growing ever stronger. Dai Tianxing, Zhu Lingyun, and Dai Pojun have all become Titled Douluo.
In terms of overall strength, the Star Luo Empire is now second only to the Spirit Hall. Even Elder Chrysanthemum once suffered a loss at their hands.
Dai Weisi possesses extraordinary talent and is highly likely to become the fourth Titled Douluo of Star Luo. On top of that, he is the Crown Prince. If we don't eliminate him now, he could become the greatest threat to Spirit Hall's quest to unify the continent."
"Hmm…"
Xue Qinghe pondered for a moment, then sighed as he gazed out the window at Dai Weisi. "There's no helping it. It's a pity—you'll never be someone I can use. That's the price of being the Star Luo Crown Prince."
After a pause, Xue Qinghe's eyes turned cold. "Inform that woman: tell her the Crown Prince of Star Luo has appeared near Heaven Dou City. What to do next—let her decide."
"As you command."
The elder gave a slight bow before taking his leave.
Meanwhile, out on the street, Dai Weisi still had Xue Beng by the throat. If the brat didn't kneel and apologize to Chen Mo and Chen Xue, he had no qualms about killing him on the spot.
Besides, he didn't believe anyone in the Heaven Dou Empire—so long as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan remained neutral—could stop him.
"Alright, young friend, give this old man some face and let him go."
The voice came before the man did. A powerful aura descended upon Dai Weisi, and a dark green figure appeared behind Xue Beng in an instant.
"So it's Senior Dugu!"
Dai Weisi was momentarily stunned, then remembered: Dugu Bo had been entrusted by Prince Xue Xing to protect Xue Beng from the shadows.
The moment Xue Beng saw Dugu Bo arrive, he seized the lifeline. "Lord Dugu, save me! Please, subdue this criminal!"
"Silence!!"
Dugu Bo roared. The moment his fury erupted, Xue Beng went quiet, shrinking like a scolded rabbit.
"This young man is my savior. You blind little fool dared to harass his friends? You'd better kneel and apologize to these young ladies right now. If you don't, I won't help you again. You'll be on your own!"
At those words, Xue Beng instantly caved. The thought of that familiar face—Xue Qinghe—flashed through his mind, and he began to tremble violently.
"I'm sorry! It's all my fault! I shouldn't have been driven by lust or tried to take the two ladies away—sorry, sorry, sorry!"
While apologizing, Xue Beng slapped himself repeatedly. In no time, his cheeks were swollen.
"Young friend, how about this?" Dugu Bo asked. "This brat may be a spoiled fool, but he's still a royal prince. Killing him would only cause trouble for you."
That was true. Killing Xue Beng now would only benefit Qian Renxue, who was impersonating Xue Qinghe. Better to keep him alive—let him and Xue Qinghe tear each other apart.
That way, Dai Weisi could stir up conflict and divide the Heaven Dou Empire, paving the way for Star Luo to eventually absorb them.
With that in mind, Dai Weisi released his grip on Xue Beng's neck and scolded coldly, "Fourth Prince, take this as a lesson. As royalty, you should be serving your nation—not bullying the innocent. What kind of example is that?!"
"Yes, yes! You're absolutely right!" Xue Beng nodded frantically like a pecking chicken.
"You heard the young master. Now get lost!"
"Yes, yes, I'll be going right away!"
With that, Xue Beng scrambled away, rolling and crawling like his life depended on it. He swore this was the closest he'd ever come to death—and worst of all, he didn't even dare to hold a grudge. He couldn't afford to offend either of those two.
Once Xue Beng was gone, Dai Weisi suddenly smiled. "Congratulations, Senior Dugu. It seems your cultivation has progressed rapidly these days."
Thanks to his Evil Eyes of Ice and Fire, Dai Weisi had already detected Dugu Bo's strength: Rank 93, at the peak of Titled Douluo. Clearly, he'd consumed many rare herbs from the Eye of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Hahaha!" Dugu Bo laughed heartily. "All thanks to the spirit bone you gave me, my poison arts have reached their peak! And you've improved rapidly as well!"
Dugu Bo had also sensed Dai Weisi's current strength and couldn't help but marvel. How long has it been? And he's already a Soul Emperor!
"Senior Dugu, to be honest, I came this time to request some herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"Ah, that's nothing!" Dugu Bo waved his hand casually. "Young friend, if you need anything, feel free to take whatever herbs you like. If not for you, I'd never have rid my body of poison—let alone reached my current level."
Dugu Bo now dared to claim that with his poison techniques, even a Super Douluo might not be his match.
Hearing that, Dai Weisi was overjoyed. Though the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was Dugu Bo's domain, he had to ask before picking any immortal herbs.
He wasn't like a certain two-faced mutt who helps himself to other people's things without permission.
"In that case, thank you, Senior!" Dai Weisi said with gratitude. He then led Chen Mo and Chen Xue to find Zhu Zhuyun. After instructing her to ensure the two women's safety, he followed Dugu Bo to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
He intended to transplant the seeds of the Blue Silver Emperor and various immortal herbs into the well.
"To think His Highness the Crown Prince is actually Lord Poison Douluo's savior…"
Inside one of the guest rooms at Yuexuan Pavilion, Tang Yuehua had witnessed everything that had just occurred on the street below.
Watching Dai Weisi's departing figure, her heart filled with curiosity. A teasing smile touched her lips as she murmured, "What an interesting man. Your Highness… just how many secrets are you hiding? This humble woman is becoming more and more intrigued…"
After changing into fresh clothes, Tang Yuehua called out to the maid outside her door. "Qianqian, prepare a carriage for me. I'm heading to Shrek Academy."
"Yes, Madam Yuehua!"
The maid named Qianqian nodded and hurried off to make arrangements. Just as Tang Yuehua was preparing to leave, a loud crash suddenly sounded behind her.
The tightly closed window burst open, and a tall, burly man in black appeared in the room.
The man stood nearly two meters tall, his body packed with bulging muscles. Yet, despite his impressive build, he wore tattered, ragged clothing—he looked more like a beggar than a warrior.
As he entered, the room's elegant, fragrant atmosphere was instantly overpowered by the heavy stench of alcohol, causing Tang Yuehua's brows to furrow.
"You are…"
"When the full moon wanes, an old friend returns in a dream. Yuehua, it's been a long time."
"You're… Hao-ge!"
Tang Yuehua instantly cried out the man's name. It was none other than Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo—though now, he was clearly gravely wounded.
Despite his disheveled appearance, Tang Yuehua showed no trace of disgust. Like a little girl reunited with her beloved big brother, she rushed into his arms, her slender hands gently pounding his chest as she sobbed softly.
"Hao-ge, I finally found you! Do you know… all these years, I've been searching for any sign of you. I just knew it—someone like the great Clear Sky Douluo couldn't have died so easily."
"Yuehua, you're still as beautiful as ever." Tang Hao's eyes softened as he gently stroked her hair.
"And you've become even more disheveled than before."
Tang Yuehua wiped her tears and sighed, "Hao-ge, come back. I've missed you all these years."
