Douluo 2: This Dragon God has too much martial virtue

Chapter 571 It’s Over! You’ve Been Infected with Cow Cat
A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the Dark Demon God Tiger, which Ji Dong possessed with his divine sense. The first God of Evil and Good had deliberately retained part of his divine position and super artifacts, resulting in him and Lie Yan being at the bottom of the God King ranks, practically nominal. He had been annoyed by those two bastards for a long time. Those two wretches lived a carefree life in the mortal realm while treating him and his wife like laborers. What was even more hateful was that if the first God of Good and Evil encountered insurmountable dangers while traveling in the mortal realm, he and Lie Yan had to go to their rescue.

He had had enough of this stifling feeling of being both a nanny and restricted, and the other party could take back his divine status at any time. This feeling of being controlled by others was disgusting.

Therefore, he needed to take this opportunity to find new allies. "Dragon, are you interested in making a deal?" The large black cat lay obediently on the ground, looking up at Mu Xing, who was crossing the void.

"Isn't it a bit late to be at the gambling table now?" Mu Xing didn't think she absolutely needed Ji Dong as an ally. After all, the situation in the Douluo Continent was excellent, at least for her. There was no threat from the God Realm, and no one in the lower realm could endanger her life. Not to mention that the Dragon God Core was already in her possession, she had also recently seized the Silver Dragon King's treasure, the Asura Sword.

“If you think the Silver Dragon King’s Divine Core isn’t enough, then let’s borrow our future in advance.” The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger’s pupils contracted into dangerous slits. “If the proposal to expand the divine realm passes unanimously, the gods should be more likely to accept and put it into action, right? And I can also offer a little extra help, like… helping you discipline your disobedient puppy.” He glanced at Wang Dong imperceptibly, then quickly looked away, so quickly that Electrox almost thought it was an illusion.

"Why don't you just make a deal with the God of Destruction for this?" Mu Xing didn't agree immediately. She was always cautious when it came to deals. Ji Dong's bad temper didn't mean he wasn't smart. Besides, the God of Destruction was obviously more interested in expanding the God Realm, right?
"The God of Destruction can't give me what I want, but the Dragon God can." After all, the first God King of Good and Evil wasn't a good-for-nothing like Tang San. If they really fought, it would be good enough if the God of Destruction could hold his own. Ji Dong didn't expect the God of Destruction to risk his life for his and Lieyan's interests.

"what do you want?"

"The complete divine position and the supreme artifact. Both Flame and I want them." Flames seemed to dance in the big cat's eyes, and the ground beneath its paws began to crack. "Or make those two bastards lose the chance to return to the realm of gods forever."

Suppressed hatred surged in the crimson tiger eyes, distorting even the surrounding air. Electrox couldn't help but be curious about the past of this "confidant." To make Ji Dong hate him to this extent, those two from the first generation must have done a lot of despicable things.

"I see..." Mu Xing lowered his eyes and met Ji Dong's gaze in the form of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Even the Golden Dragon King admired his killing intent. "Leaving aside the first generation of Evil God King, I hate the other one even more. After all, it was she who proposed that bet."

"It really is that white bitch!" Ji Dong let out a low, cold laugh.

"Fortunately, they have already gone to the lower realm to reincarnate, otherwise I might have become a bargaining chip for them in their bet." Mu Xing knew very well the nature of the first generation of God King of Good and Evil. In their eyes, whether it was the child of the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, or themselves, they were nothing more than props in a game.

Even if Ji Dong didn't come to find her, she had the same intention. Then, Mu Xing composed herself, becoming even more indifferent. "I really hate a saying from the first God of Kindness, 'No pain, no gain.'" This saying is practically on par with Tang San's "No pain, no gain." The only difference between them and Tang San is that they interfered in the lower realm to torment mortals for their own amusement, while Tang San did it to turn the Douluo Plane and the Douluo God Realm into his private property. But essentially, they are both scoundrels who deliberately create suffering for others and then use that suffering to profit themselves.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing." To fuel Ji Dong's thirst for revenge, Mu Xing revealed another piece of information, "Back in the first year after Lieyan's fall on the Five Elements Continent, your obsession with her had already moved the First Evil God, who originally intended to end the bet..."

Upon hearing this, the big cat immediately bristled, its tail taut and straight.

“But the Goddess of Kindness insisted on continuing.” Mu Xing’s voice was gentle, but it was like adding fuel to the fire. “She said that exchanging a mere ten years of hardship for your eternal love is not cruel at all, but a reward for you.”

The Dark Demon God Tiger suddenly let out a deafening roar. This inside story, deliberately revealed by Mu Xing, completely ignited Ji Dong's suppressed anger.

Electrolux quietly pulled Wang Dong away from her still-stunned state to prevent her from being affected by the tyrant's wrath.

"Then, with this sword as proof, I will not be satisfied with merely preventing them from returning to the realm of gods." Ji Dong's voice echoed like the depths of purgatory. The body of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger gradually transformed into human form amidst the blazing flames, and a strangely shaped giant sword slowly emerged between him and Mu Xing.

The sword was four feet long and half a foot wide at its widest point, with mysterious demonic runes engraved on its thick blade. Most strangely, a golden halo flowed across the blood-red blade, and the tip of the sword emitted a golden sword beam more than a foot long, radiating intense pressure.

"The Sword of the God of Fire?" Mu Xing raised an eyebrow and continued to fan the flames. "It seems you were originally chosen as the successor by the God of Fire. After all, he even gave you the divine artifact in advance, but the God of Evil intercepted it halfway. At least Shura managed to create a situation where two gods coexisted, giving you both the divine position and the divine artifact. This God of Evil is ruthless, directly snatching you away without giving you the complete divine position and the super divine artifact."

These words were like adding fuel to the fire. The Sword of the God of Fire suddenly erupted with a blinding golden light, reflecting the boundless hatred in Ji Dong's eyes. He knew, of course, that Mu Xing was deliberately inciting his emotions, but he didn't bother to hide it. A true tyrant never suppresses his anger.

Ji Dong remained in his half-beast form, his jet-black, fallen wings slowly unfurling behind him, his tiger ears twitching sensitively. His sinister, hooked tail, composed of bone segments, swayed rhythmically, leaving dark red streaks of light in the air.

“Since we share the same goal, our cooperation should be more natural?” The Sword of the God of Fire hovered beside Ji Dong, the ancient inscriptions on its blade resonating strangely with his divine power.

“I completely agree. I just need to get what you promised; the rest is up to you.” This deal was indeed a sure win for Mu Xing.

Ji Dong thought he was borrowing his and Lie Yan's future. Since they were going to be slaves anyway, why not be a slave with real power?
However, Mu Xing is also paying the price of this contract in advance. To achieve Ji Dong's goal, he must rely on the existence of the Dragon God. Before that, this contract is like an empty promise.

Electrolux watched this scene with great interest. Mu Xing and Ji Dong were both betting with chips they hadn't yet acquired. Surprisingly, the odds of winning this high-stakes gamble were reassuring, because the cost had to be paid by Ji Dong first. For their side, it was a "use now, pay later" deal—incredibly advantageous. And who dared say that the former Flame Queen wouldn't personally intervene?
Wang Dong was still in a state of mental confusion. She hadn't absorbed much of the conversation between Mu Xing and Ji Dong. Even if she had, she would likely be puzzled as to why they suddenly started talking about the First Generation God of Good and Evil and the God of Fire. And cooperation? Tang San had already been killed, so what was there for them to cooperate on? Did they mean obtaining the Silver Dragon King's divine core?

Throughout the entire process, Mu Xing didn't spare her a single glance. In desperation, as Mu Xing was about to turn and leave, Wang Dong subconsciously reached out to stop him, but froze the moment she met Mu Xing's gaze, her fingertips unable to move forward even an inch.

"...Wasn't it agreed that I would be the one to obtain the Silver Dragon King's divine core?"

"Are you going to hit me with your head?" Mu Xing's only expectation of Wang Dong was that he wouldn't cause her any trouble. Even if Wang Dong just stayed somewhere and did nothing, it would be better than bothering her.

Ji Dong was completely unaware that the body's instincts were causing the Evil God Hook to swing merrily, and he was clearly enjoying Wang Dong's embarrassed expression.

A dark spatial rift silently unfolded beside Mu Xing. Without looking back, she stepped into the rift. In the last instant before the spatial rift closed, Wang Dong clearly heard a familiar sneer from the other side of the opposite space.

Wang Dong's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and the power of destruction coursed wildly across her body. The dark and cunning black dragon had plotted against her not long ago, and now it was showing off its presence in front of Mu Xing.

Ji Dong suddenly let out a cold laugh, "Tang Xiaoqi, what business is it of yours if the ruler is wise and the ministers are virtuous? Why are you jumping around like this?"

"Don't call me that name!" That name she loved most as a child now pierced her heart like a poisonous thorn, forcibly binding her to the person she hated most.

Her beast ears twitched with pleasure, and Ji Dong was clearly enjoying her loss of composure: "What? You dislike the nickname your father gave you? Too bad, bloodlines can't be erased just by changing a name."

Wang Dong belatedly realized the source of the unsettling hostility in Ji Dong's eyes. The friendliness she had shown to her in the God Realm was merely a compromise to Tang San's power. Although both were God Kings, there was a clear gap between Tang San, who possessed two godhoods, and Ji Dong, whose godhood was incomplete and who didn't even have a super artifact.

Now that Tang San has fallen, those long-suppressed emotions have finally found an outlet. Even though Wang Dong had long since severed ties with Tang San, he is still forced to bear this displaced anger.

“You think…” Wang Dong’s voice trembled with anger, “that things between him and me have long been…”

"Shut up! Do you think I would take my anger out on a child because of political struggles?" Ji Dong interrupted her with a cold laugh. "Isn't it because your mother cursed me and Lieyan in front of everyone that we couldn't have children? I hate you just looking at you now!" Ji Dong was filled with hatred just thinking about it, so much so that he couldn't help but assume the worst about Tang San.

When Tang San forced Lie Yan and Xiao Qi to work overtime under the pretext that "Xiao Qi was crying and wanted her father to comfort her," was he secretly mocking them for not being able to have their own child behind his hypocritical facade? Looking back now, every word seemed like a carefully designed humiliation.

“God-King, please calm your anger,” Elex advised. “The more powerful a being is, the more difficult it is to reproduce; this is a universal law. Moreover, I have heard that your wife is a Crimson Lotus of Earthly Fire, born of destiny, a unique creation in the world. If such a bloodline could be easily continued, it would be an insult to its nobility.”

Ji Dong was instantly appeased. "Dude, you have such a nice way of speaking!"

Electrolux suddenly had a good feeling that "I also have the potential to become a treacherous minister in this world"... No way! Being a treacherous minister or a powerful minister, isn't that what Di Tian is doing?
Wang Dong was completely dumbfounded. How many gods had her mother cursed for not being able to have children? Was this something she could just say? As far as she knew, since the Dragon God's Rebellion, apart from Mu Xing, she was the only other new generation of divine children left in the entire divine realm. This was practically an indiscriminate attack across the entire divine realm!
This is no longer a matter of personal grudges. Her mother launched a massive attack on the entire upper echelons of the God Realm, and even the God of Food and the Nine-Colored Goddess, two of the original Shrek Seven Devils, were caught in the crossfire.

"You should be grateful to be alive! Which political loser isn't executed along with their entire family? The God of Destruction sparing your life is already an act of mercy, and yet you still dare to covet his child?" Ji Dong slowly approached Wang Dong, each step leaving scorch marks on the ground. "On what grounds? On what grounds your hypocritical father plotted to send her to the mortal realm? Or on what grounds your good uncle Dai Mubai issued a divine decree on behalf of Tang San to hunt her down for over four thousand years? Or... on what grounds your good uncles and aunts acted like tyrants in the God of Love's territory, using tens of millions of lives to force her and Di Tian to kill each other and destroy their divine cores?"

"What a pity!" Ji shook her head and sighed dramatically. "The God of Destruction is still too soft-hearted. If it were me, I would burn even the lowest ants in the lower realms who have ever been involved with you, let alone the divine realm!"

"How dare you draw your sword against her guards?" Ji Dong suddenly approached, the blade of the Fire God's Sword lifting her chin and forcing her to look up. "What? Are you vying for favor? Ha! Only children do that! What do you take her for? An older sister? I don't remember Destruction having a second child!"

Wang Dong bit her lower lip hard, but tears still welled up uncontrollably. She blinked desperately, trying to hold back this shameful weakness, but the scalding tears continued to slide down her cheeks. She had already severed ties with Tang San, wasn't that enough?
“Don’t use emotions as a bargaining chip for spite, even if it’s to rebel against your family of origin.” Electrolux raised his hand to stop Wang Dong, who wanted to defend himself. He hadn’t forgotten the task Mu Xing had given him. “Besides, she’s not what you think. Wake up. You’re only a teenager. It’s unnecessary to worry about whether she likes you or not. You haven’t even fully developed your values ​​yet. You don’t even know the definition of love or what love is. You like her because she appeared when you were at your lowest point, but if she’s not meant to be, you can’t hold onto her. There’s a long road ahead, and you haven’t met many people yet. In this vast sea of ​​people, how can you know that this person will spend their life with you? Being troubled by love every day, wasting your youth and your career, having your emotions controlled by a dragon every day—it’s really unnecessary and not worth it. Love yourself before loving others. So let’s give her to us.”

Ji Dong listened and nodded in agreement, but when he heard the last sentence, his tiger ears suddenly perked up. Dude, you laid so much groundwork just for this sentence, didn't you?

The tears in Wang Dong's eyes hadn't dried yet when she suddenly widened her eyes. She was almost convinced, but upon hearing the last sentence, she suddenly realized, "You're in cahoots with that black dragon, aren't you?!"

Even Ji Dong couldn't escape the cat sculpture...*
