Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 645 Not the Emperor I Like, I Directly Rejected (Bonus Chapter for 6k Chapters)

"Sister Xue'er, before we discuss when to accept the surrender of the two great empires, can you tell me how many people Tang Sect and Shrek Academy still have?" Qian Gu Huang Yu asked.

Qian Renxue said, "Judging from the current situation, apart from some experts above the Title Douluo level, more than half of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy's allied forces have been killed in battle."

"If you include those who are seriously injured, then there are even more."

Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Huang Yu nodded in satisfaction and said, "This time, Shrek Academy has not only sent students and teachers, but also many Shrek graduates who have brought their families."

"There were even mental Shrek members coming to help. It can be said that during this period, the Sun Moon Federation had almost no Shrek influence left."

"Because Shrek Academy's influence has almost disappeared, I have been suppressing their influence during this period."

"The reason why Shrek was so difficult to deal with before was because we didn't know who their people were."

"Now Shrek Academy's strength has been greatly weakened, and Shrek Academy members have also jumped out on their own."

"Even if they return alive, we can still target them."

Qian Renxue said with some annoyance, "Sister Huang Yu, but because the Star Luo Empire has too few high-end Soul Masters, the damage to the Title Douluos of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect is extremely limited."

As the saying goes, "cut the weeds and eliminate the roots," Qian Renxue naturally wanted to turn Shrek Academy into the Tang Sect to eliminate the weeds and eliminate the roots. However, she wanted to use someone else to do her dirty work, but the Star Luo Empire was really too unhelpful.

Qian Gu Huang Yu laughed nonchalantly, "It's not the old who create the new era. As long as the next generation of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect dies out, and these old guys naturally die of old age, Shrek Academy and Tang Sect will be considered extinct."

"But just to be on the safe side, I'll have those guys from the Holy Spirit Cult put some pressure on Shrek and the others."

"Since those guys are just sitting around doing nothing anyway, they might as well come out and shine a little more."

Qian Renxue said with some worry, "Sister Huangyu, although the Ghost Emperor and his group are indeed strong enough to deal with Shrek Academy, won't they accidentally hurt our people?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu smiled and said, "Then we'll trouble our Commander-in-Chief to send the Shrek Academy people away by himself."

...

Star Luo Empire, Royal Palace.

The cool moonlight shone through the soft curtains into the magnificent house.

Dai Lingxun lay alone on a large bed, habitually checking her soul communication device before going to sleep.

Seeing that her message to Qian Gu Huang Yu had once again gone unread and unanswered, Dai Lingxun felt a sense of unease.

Originally, Dai Lingxun planned to fight Shrek Academy while discussing surrender with Qian Gu Huang Yu, trying her best to give the Star Luo Empire the most dignified ending.

However, as her messages to Qian Gu Huang Yu went unanswered time and time again, she couldn't help but start to worry.

[Qian Gu Huang Yu... she wouldn't really want to destroy the entire Star Luo Empire, would she?]

"We almost ended up being husband and wife for one night, is it really necessary to be so heartless?"

Although Dai Lingxun now understands that she and Qian Gu Huang Yu are destined not to be together, it does not stop her from still having feelings for Qian Gu Huang Yu.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't say your fantasies as reality."

A cold voice suddenly rang out, causing Dai Lingxun to instinctively sit up in bed.

Suddenly, ripples appeared in the space of Dai Lingxun's bedroom, and in the next instant, a long, beautiful leg stepped out from it.

When Qian Gu Huang Yu stepped out of the space and saw Dai Lingxun, she immediately turned her head away.

At this moment, Dai Lingxun was lying on the bed, propping herself up with her left hand, her long, fair legs rubbing together slightly.

Her fair skin glowed with an alluring pink hue, seemingly foreshadowing Dai Lingxun's mixed feelings of excitement and shyness.

Dai Lingxun was originally preparing to go to sleep, but because of this, she was not wearing any clothes, and only the moonlight shone on her fair skin.

Qian Gu Huang Yu naturally saw the message sent by Dai Lingxun, but in order to avoid being caught in the crossfire by communicating directly with Dai Lingxun through the soul guide communicator.

Qian Gu Huang Yu then chose to come in person and talk to Dai Lingxun face to face.

"Can't you put your clothes on?" Qian Gu Huang Yu said with a dark face when she saw that Dai Lingxun had no reaction.

"This is my room. If I don't want to wear clothes, then why should I wear clothes?" Dai Lingxun stared straight at Qian Gu Huangyu and said matter-of-factly.

"Or... do you not like me like this?" As she spoke, Dai Lingxun raised her right hand and placed it on her full, snow-white breasts.

It seemed as if she was deliberately showing off her alluring figure to Qian Gu Huang Yu.

"Also, I really didn't lie to you back then, I really am the White Fox."

As she spoke, Dai Lingxun deliberately lifted the long, slender, and fair right leg.
Qian Gu Huang Yu nodded stiffly.

Qian Gu Huang Yu knew that Dai Lingxun was a top-tier beauty the first time she met her.

It was unexpected that this seemingly aloof and incomparable White Tiger Empress would have such a bold side in private.

Seeing Qian Gu Huang Yu's awkward expression, Dai Lingxun couldn't help but laugh. "Why are you shy? What, did that silver dragon fail to satisfy you?"

After many years, Dai Lingxun finally saw the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather again. She also put aside her arrogance as the White Tiger Empress and didn't even bother to refer to herself as "朕" (Zhen, meaning "I" or "the Emperor").

"That's enough. I'm a Limit Douluo now. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" Qian Gu Huang Yu said with a dark face.

Faced with the threat of the Ancient Phoenix Feather, Dai Lingxun said nonchalantly, "Anyway, I can't beat you. Even if you want to do xxxxxx to me now, I can't resist you."

"Whatever you like!"

"Enough! I'm not here to argue with you about this!" Qian Gu Huang Yu felt inexplicably tired. Since she became the tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, no one had dared to speak to her like this for many years.

"Do you still want to surrender, or do you want the Star Luo Empire to perish with you?"

Upon hearing Qian Gu Huang Yu mention the surrender, Dai Lingxun's expression turned serious, and she abandoned her playful nature.

However, she still showed no intention of putting on clothes or covering herself with a blanket.

Dai Lingxun said, "As you know, the Star Luo Empire can't possibly defeat your Sun Moon Federation. The war has progressed to this point, and it's only a matter of time before we suffer a complete defeat."

"So surrendering is only a matter of time. It just depends on what conditions you want and whether the Star Luo Empire can retain the greatest benefits after surrendering."

Hearing Dai Lingxun's words, Qian Gu Huang Yu's lips curled into a smile. "I didn't expect you to be so self-aware. Well then, I won't beat around the bush. You should be able to guess what I want, right?"

Dai Lingxun said, "You want to use someone else to kill and destroy the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, and at the same time, completely destroy the relationship between the two great empires and the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy."

"Even if we surrender and come under the control of the Sun and Moon Federation, the hatred accumulated during the war will make it impossible for us to unite again."

"If we can't unite, your position will be incredibly secure, and you'll have already dealt with any other voices that oppose you."

"In addition, you also want to divert domestic conflicts through a foreign war, while easing the hatred accumulated during the year-long war."

"Am I right?" Dai Lingxun looked at Qian Gu Huang Yu and asked slowly.

"Clap clap clap."

Qian Gu Huang Yu clapped her hands, a hint of a smile flashing in her wine-red pupils. "Not bad, what you said is basically correct."

"I think the reason my plan has been able to proceed so smoothly is also inseparable from your deliberate cooperation as the enemy's top leader, isn't it?"

Dai Lingxun said, "Since you guessed it, could you please not make things too difficult for me when it comes to the terms of our surrender?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "I can promise you that the Star Luo Empire's post-war situation will be better than that of the Dou Ling Empire, but that's all."

Dai Lingxun said, "If the Star Luo Empire is willing to become a vassal state of the Sun Moon Federation, may we ask you to return home?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Impossible. Now that we've made our move, we must take down the entire Star Luo Empire."

Dai Lingxun said, "Anyway, all you're after when you invaded the Star Luo Empire is the resources of the Star Luo Continent."

“We can pay you tribute regularly, and we can even become your colony. Isn’t that enough?”

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Give up these unrealistic fantasies as soon as possible. After this war ends, there will only be one country on the entire Douluo Star."

Faced with Qian Gu Huang Yu's unquestionable tone, Dai Lingxun fell silent. She had originally thought that as long as she could try her best to cater to Qian Gu Huang Yu's ideas, she wouldn't have to become a ruler of a fallen kingdom.

But I never expected that Qian Gu Huang Yu's attitude would be so resolute.

Then, Dai Lingxun sighed and leaned weakly against the headboard, as if she had lost all her strength.

"Okay, so what do you want to do? Or rather, how do you plan to deal with us?"

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "I will not hold you accountable, and likewise, I will not allow the people of the Star Luo Empire to become second-class citizens."

Dai Lingxun nodded slightly. She knew that the defeat of the Star Luo Empire was inevitable, but after the defeat, they, as leaders, would not be held accountable.

The fact that her citizens would not be treated unfairly after being forcibly incorporated into the Sun-Moon Federation was enough to satisfy her.

"But before that, there's something I need you to do," Qian Gu Huang Yu said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Dai Lingxun immediately perked up and asked with a smile, "What do you need my help with? Is it because Gu Yuena isn't around and you can't meet certain needs?"

A 'well' character appeared on Qian Gu Huang Yu's forehead as he coldly said, "If you continue to spout nonsense like this, I'll strip you naked and parade you through the streets after I destroy Xing Luo."

Having learned from the previous experience, Qian Gu Huang Yu knew that although Gu Yue Na hadn't come along, she might be watching her from Ming Du.

Qian Gu Huang Yu didn't want to dig a hole for herself here. After all, Dai Ling Xun's casual remarks here weren't illegal, but she would be the one severely punished by Gu Yue Na later.

"Yes, yes, yes, you weren't warned by your family, were you? No way, no way?" Dai Lingxun nodded repeatedly, saying with a playful expression.

In the end, Qian Gu Huang Yu had no choice but to ignore Dai Lingxun's words and said, "Move some of your elite troops and supplies to this place." As she spoke, Qian Gu Huang Yu took out a map and pointed to a location.

Dai Lingxun looked in the direction Qian Gu Huang Yu was pointing and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you gathering troops here? We're almost at the front line."

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Why don't you need to worry about that? You just need to gather the troops there."

Dai Lingxun raised an eyebrow and said, "You're not trying to trick me, are you? Although I do have feelings for you, I would never betray my country for that reason."

Qian Gu Huang Yu glanced at Dai Ling Xun unexpectedly. Because of the stereotypes from her previous life, she had always thought that everyone in the Douluo Continent, especially women, should be love-obsessed.

In Qian Gu Huang Yu's view, it was already a sign of his high moral character that he seized the Star Luo Empire without any direct reason to take advantage of Dai Ling Xun's goodwill towards him.

However, Dai Lingxun was quite knowledgeable about both the inside and outside worlds, even though she had feelings for Qian Gu Huang Yu.

However, once he realizes that he can no longer be with Qian Gu Huang Yu, he will no longer offer Qian Gu Huang Yu any substantial benefits.

It was simply a matter of each side being forced by circumstances to do what they needed.

Seeing that Qian Gu Huang Yu remained silent, Dai Lingxun said irritably, "I am, after all, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire. The entire Star Luo Empire, including its capital and seventy-two cities, is carried on my shoulders!"

"Of course, if you are willing to marry me, then as my empress, whatever you say in the entire Star Luo Empire will be law."

"If anyone dares to disagree, let her talk to my army."

"Troublesome woman," Qian Gu Huang Yu muttered, "You just need to deploy the army there. Don't worry, if I really wanted to trick you..."

"Then I could simply kidnap you now and force the Star Luo Empire to surrender. Or, with my strength, do you really think the Star Luo Empire can stop me?"

"Since you know my purpose, you should also be able to figure out why I did this, right?"

Dai Lingxun said, "You want to trick Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, right?"

“That’s right.” Qian Gu Huang Yu nodded in satisfaction. “So you don’t need to have too many concerns.”

Dai Lingxun said, "I know you're going to make a move against Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, but I'm afraid you might accidentally hurt my people."

Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Huang Yu felt a surge of admiration for Dai Lingxun. "Although some of your actions and logic are abstract, you are indeed a qualified ruler."

“Actually, you didn’t have to say the first half of the sentence,” Dai Lingxun said quietly.

She also understood that after Qian Gu Huang Yu explicitly rejected her, her bold marriage proposal had become an indelible stain on her past.

Success is pure love, failure is disgrace!

But for Qian Gu Huang Yu: If he's not the emperor I like, I'll refuse him outright!
Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "I can assure you that your army will never even see Shrek and his men."

...

"Failed again?" Dai Lingxun murmured to herself, gazing at the spot where Qian Gu Huang Yu had just stood.

Although she knew that the two of them could not end up together, she always wanted to try, just in case it worked.

After Qian Gu Huang Yu left, Dai Lingxun calmed down and carefully sensed the situation inside the palace, only to find that there had been no changes at all.

"Did she block other people's perception of this place? That's a really impressive technique," Dai Lingxun remarked.

...

Star Luo Empire, Beidou City, the front line of war.

Late at night, a military conference was underway in the Star Luo Empire's camp.

"Grand Preceptor, why have you summoned everyone so late? Is there some new strategic plan in mind?"

After a general arrived, he asked Grace a question.

The current Enci has long lost his former composure; his forehead is bandaged, and he has long lost the demeanor of a hermit.

There was nothing he could do. Even if he tried his best, he was no match for Yun Ming. In fact, if Qian Renxue hadn't prevented Yun Ming from interfering in the army's battles, Yun Ming could have easily become invincible in the Star Luo Empire's army.

Enci said, "I have just received His Majesty's order. His Majesty has ordered us to send a portion of our army to Kazama and Yagaya."

As she spoke, Enci pointed to a valley on the left side of the battle line on the map.

One of the generals said, "My lord, we are already struggling to stop them from attacking at the front lines. If we were to divide our forces further, I'm afraid..."

The other generals also remained silent, but their silence was undoubtedly the best indication of their stance.

In the Star Luo Empire, strength is paramount, so even though Enci is not a commander, or even a soldier, the highest leadership of the entire front line still rests with Enci.

Enci said, "It is precisely because we are about to be unable to withstand the Sun and Moon Federation's attack at the front that we have to take a risky move."

"According to the intelligence we have gathered so far, the Sun Moon Federation's army is composed of the combined forces of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, as well as the Sun Moon Federation's own army."

"However, due to the historical issues left over from the One Year War, the relationship between the two sides was very bad, and even the military camps were stationed separately."

"The overall situation is that the Shrek Academy and Tang Sect armies are blocking the front line, while the Sun Moon Federation army is staying in the rear."

"If I were to say that Shrek Academy and Tang Sect were on good terms despite being used as pawns by the Thousand Ancient Phoenix Feather, I doubt anyone would believe me."

"Therefore, I will personally lead a portion of my elite troops to garrison in Kazama and Valley. From Kazama and Valley, you will find the Shrek Tang Sect Allied Forces' camp bordering the Sun Moon Federation's camp."

"At that time, I will have some people dress up in Shrek and Tang Sect uniforms to create the illusion that Shrek and Tang Sect have allied with our Star Luo Empire and betrayed the Sun Moon Federation."

"If we can just let the two of them start fighting amongst themselves, then we'll have a chance to win, and it's not impossible to even win back the Tang Clan."

Upon hearing Enci's words, many generals felt enlightened and exclaimed, "Your Majesty is wise!"

However, some people still raised concerns: "Grand Preceptor, what if the people of the Sun Moon Federation realize that we are disguised as Tang Sect members?"

Grace said, “People don’t believe what they see, but rather they believe what they want to believe.”

"Qian Gu Huang Yu has made almost no attempt to conceal her desire to undermine the power of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect. All we need to do is give her this leverage, and she can directly use it against Shrek Academy and Tang Sect on charges of treason."

“They were in China before. If they wiped out all the Shrek Academy and Tang Clan members, it would have a very bad impact.”

"But we're in the Star Luo Empire now, where communication is difficult. Even if all the Shrek Academy and Tang Sect members die here, what difference will it make?"

At this point, a fierce glint flashed in Enci's eyes. He naturally harbored immense hatred for the Tang Clan, who had betrayed the Star Luo Empire.

However, he had no way to take revenge, so he didn't mind using someone else to do the dirty work.

...

Star Luo Empire, Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters.

After the blows of a year of war, the entire Holy Spirit Cult became extremely docile, and even when the two great empires and the Sun and Moon Federation were at war, they had no intention of emerging into the world.

Of course, it wasn't that the Ghost Emperor and the others didn't want to go out and collect souls, but rather that they were genuinely terrified by the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather.

During the Shrek City battle at the end of the One Year War, Qian Gu Huang Yu simply waved his hand and wiped out more than half of the Title Douluos of the Holy Spirit Cult.

This horrific loss devastated the Ghost Emperor, and even caused the entire Holy Spirit Cult to succumb to despair.

The Ghost Emperor pushed open the conference room door with a worried expression. Since the year-long war, he had never been personally summoned by the Phoenix Feather of the Ages.

Even when he was given a task before, it was Qian Gu Huang Yu who told him directly through the Blood Demon Curse.

When the Ghost Emperor cautiously pushed open the door to the conference room, he found that Harosa and the Demon Emperor were already waiting inside.

"Where is the Master?" the Ghost Emperor asked.

Harosa said calmly, "She should be on her way. She hasn't been here for so long, so naturally she needs to take some time to see the changes in the Holy Spirit Cult."

...

The Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters were established in two provinces owned by the native inhabitants of the Star Luo Continent. Initially, to maintain a low profile, the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters were built underground.

However, during the time when the Thousand-Year Phoenix Feather disappeared, the Ghost Emperor wanted to conquer the world and seek land under the sun, so he directly took a city from the Star Luo Empire's resistance army to use as the new headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult.

To express his reverence for a certain powerful evil spirit master, the Ghost Emperor named this city, which was entirely composed of evil spirit masters, Shura City.

After Qian Gu Huang Yu returned, he didn't bother with such trivial matters and tacitly accepted the change in headquarters location.

In Shura City, the city of evil soul masters, a dark purple sports car was speeding past on the streets.

The sports car has a streamlined shape and is extremely fast, even comparable to the speed of a Red-level mech.

In contrast, sports cars are very quiet; if you don't listen carefully, you can't even hear the engine roar.

Mortis was sitting in the passenger seat of the sports car, idly playing with his long, light green hair.

The one driving at this moment was the Blood Emperor Ye Lingshang.

"I never expected you guys to actually run Shura City so well," Mortis said, looking at the various shops lining the street.

Before today, who would have thought that a vicious and ruthless evil spirit master would actually sell ramen?

"Ramen! Authentic Sun and Moon Ramen!"

Looking at the figure standing at the store entrance shouting loudly, Mortis couldn't help but smile.
