Douluo Dalu: Tiger Roars in the Universe

Chapter 137: Killing his father to take the throne? Dugu Bo's gift

"Xue Qinghe?" When Dugu Bo heard Dai Yaochen mention Xue Qinghe, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a solemn look.

"Ever since you told me that Xue Qinghe was suspicious, I went to check with Prince Xue Xing. It's true as you said. The deaths of the second and third princes of the Tiandou royal family should be closely related to him. However, Xue Qinghe did not leave any substantial evidence, so although he is highly suspected in this matter, there is still no way to prove it."

"With the shrewdness of Emperor Xue Ye, it is impossible that he didn't know anything about this. He should also suspect Xue Qinghe of murdering his two sons." Dai Yaochen shook his head. "Even so, Emperor Xue Ye would still choose Xue Qinghe as the crown prince. I really don't know what he was thinking."

"Emperor Xue Ye probably has no other choice." Dugu Bo said, "After all, his two sons are already dead and cannot be saved. His remaining youngest son Xue Beng is also useless. He only has Xue Qinghe as his choice."

"Moreover, Xue Qinghe has many supporters in the Tiandou Empire. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Tiandou Martial Soul Temple are all on good terms with him. Even the three Soul Douluo education committee members of the Tiandou Royal Academy, which is directly managed by Prince Xuexing, are all staunch supporters of Xue Qinghe. He can be said to be the one that everyone wants."

"Perhaps Emperor Xue Ye also suspected that it was Xue Qinghe who murdered his two brothers, but perhaps because of this, he felt that Xue Qinghe had the courage to become the ruler of an empire."

"Courage..." Dai Yaochen couldn't help but sneer, "Emperor Xue Ye doesn't even think about it. Since Xue Qinghe was able to kill his two brothers in order to eliminate the competitors for the throne before, will he do the same thing to him in the future in order to ascend the throne as soon as possible?"

"You mean, Xue Qinghe dares to attack Emperor Xue Ye?" Dugu Bo had only thought that Xue Qinghe would at most wipe out the Fourth Prince Xue Beng and completely eliminate all competitors. He had never thought that Xue Qinghe would do this to Emperor Xue Ye. He was inevitably a little surprised when he suddenly heard Dai Yaochen say this. "It shouldn't be possible, can he do this?"

No? How could it not be possible?

Xue Qinghe is pretended to be Qian Renxue. There is no family relationship between him and Emperor Xue Ye. If he really wants to take action, he will definitely not show mercy.

In fact, this is what was done in the original book, but it failed in the end due to interference from all sides.

This time, Xue Qinghe does not have too much external interference. When he decides to take action against Emperor Xue Ye, he will most likely succeed.

And just as Dugu Bo said just now, Xue Qinghe has many supporters in the Tiandou Empire. Even if he really assassinated Emperor Xue Ye, as long as he did not leave any concrete evidence, his supporters would not jump out to oppose him. At that time, the Tiandou Empire would truly have changed.

Thinking of this, Dai Yaochen reminded Dugu Bo again: "Since he dared to kill his brother, he must dare to kill his father. When the time is right, he will definitely dare to attack Emperor Xue Ye."

“If one day in the future, Emperor Xue Ye suddenly dies and Xue Qinghe ascends to the throne, then Senior Dugu, you can protect Prince Xue Xing and Prince Xue Beng and come to our Xing Luo Empire to seek asylum. We will definitely not refuse.”

If that day really comes, Prince Xuexing and Prince Xuebeng will undoubtedly play a huge role. Not only Dai Yaochen, but even Dai Tianyu will definitely not refuse.

"I understand." Dugu Bo nodded to show that he understood.

"Maybe I'm overthinking. Xue Qinghe might not do that." Seeing that Dugu Bo's face was not very good, Dai Yaochen immediately comforted him, although he himself did not believe it, and then continued, "Senior, don't think too much. Have a good rest first. Tomorrow morning, you have to accompany Yanyan to go shopping again, which is not an easy thing."

The topic turned to Dugu Yan, and the gloom in Dugu Bo's heart immediately dissipated a lot: "Speaking of which, it was indeed a correct decision for me to entrust Yan Yan to you. She has lived a good life here and has made many new friends. She has also not slacked off in her soul training. In the future, she will definitely become a Titled Douluo, stronger than me. Now, no matter what happens in the future, I can rest assured."

"This time when I came to see Yanyan, I also prepared a gift for her. I originally wanted to hand it to her personally when I left, but now I think it would be better for you to give it to her." As he said this, Dugu Bo directly took out a lead box from his storage soul guide.

Dai Yaochen was about to leave, but Dugu Bo suddenly asked him to help pass on a gift to Dugu Yan. He stopped immediately and looked at the lead box in Dugu Bo's hand with some confusion.

The gift specially prepared for Dugu Yan, judging from Dugu Bo's expression, seems to be quite precious, it can't be...

Noticing Dai Yaochen's puzzled expression, Dugu Bo did not hide anything and directly revealed the contents of the lead box: "This contains a head soul bone from a 30,000-year-old red-green ice toad. I got it with great difficulty. It is absolutely very suitable for Yanyan."

"Head soul bone? Zhu Qing Ice Toad?" Although he had some guesses, Dai Yaochen couldn't help but be a little surprised when Dugu Bo said this.

If it was an ordinary soul bone, it would be fine, but the key is that this soul bone was produced by the Zhuqing Ice Toad, so it is indeed as Dugu Bo said, very suitable for Dugu Yan.

Soul beasts like the Zhuqing Ice Toad live on the outskirts of the Far North. Their entire bodies are mainly ice-attributed, but the Zhuqing Ice Toad's eyes are of fire-attributed. It is a rare soul beast that is a fusion of ice and fire.

Moreover, the main ability of Zhu Qing Ice Toad is to use its dual attributes of ice and fire to continuously blend and produce a strange and deadly poison. This is a perfect match for Dugu Yan, who has taken Fiery Apricot and Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass, which possess both extreme heat and extreme cold poisons.

Being able to find a soul bone that is so suitable for Dugu Yan, and which is 30,000 years old, is definitely not an easy task even for Dugu Bo. It seems that he has put a lot of thought into it over the past year.

As this thought flashed through his mind, Dai Yaochen immediately took the lead box from Dugu Bo's hand and promised him that he would give the soul bone to Dugu Yan after he left.

After saying all this, there was nothing else to do. Seeing that it had completely darkened, Dai Yaochen did not stay in Dugu Bo's room any longer. He put away the lead box containing a 30,000-year-old head soul bone and immediately left the inn.
