Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 340 The Vicious Beauty, Strengthening the Mark

Lin Xiao, with an air of nonchalance, strolled leisurely toward Davis.

Davis felt a chill run down his spine, broke out in a cold sweat, and felt a deep fear rising in his heart. He was on the verge of a mental breakdown, and his lips were moving incessantly while his knees trembled.

In his eyes, Lin Xiao took one step, two steps...

Like the devil's steps.

In the end, he couldn't withstand the psychological pressure and collapsed to his knees with a thud.

Like a dog whose spine has been removed, it pleaded:

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

"I'll give you anything you want!"

Zhu Zhuyun, who was standing to the side, knew that this was Lin Xiao and was naturally not afraid. Although she could understand Davis's cowardly behavior, a trace of contempt still arose in her eyes.

But she immediately knelt down as well.

At this moment, Davis knelt down but she didn't. Afterwards, Davis would definitely feel embarrassed and would regard her as a thorn in his side, harboring hatred in his heart.

Human nature has always been like this.

Sometimes it can be as vast as the blue sea and sky, and sometimes as insidious as insects and wolves.

Zhu Zhuyun also begged for mercy.

But she wasn't begging for mercy for herself; she was begging for mercy for Davis.

"Please, spare Weiss!"

"I'm willing to take on anything for Weiss! Bring it on!"

Davis was startled and turned to look at Zhu Zhuyun.

Zhu Zhuyun was crying with tears streaming down her face. Her delicate body trembled with fear, but her eyes revealed a firm and resolute determination, as if she were willing to sacrifice herself for righteousness.

"Weis is the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire. If you kill him, you will be mortal enemies with the empire. As long as you don't harm Weis, I will do anything!"

Zhu Zhuyun glanced at Davis and burst into tears.

"Weis, after I die, you should marry my younger sister, Zhuqing. She's stubborn but soft-hearted, and she's completely given up on Dai Mubai. If she's not good enough for you, then marry another fiancée you love..."

Then he opened his mouth silently, and judging from his lip movements, he was saying:

"Don't worry, I would rather die than betray you!"

Davis was shocked.

He felt his very soul trembling.

He could read Zhu Zhuyun's lip movements. This silly woman was actually not afraid of death for him.
Even to the point of keeping one's chastity?
Davis was deeply moved and said with tears in his eyes:
"Zhu Yun, I will never forget you after you die!"

Zhu Zhuyun: ?

Even while acting, she couldn't help but curse Davis in her heart, saying he had no guts or sense of responsibility.

Lin Xiao understood as well.

He saw through Zhu Zhuyun's scheme. This woman was truly vicious. Even at this point, she could still seamlessly add drama to her own life, making Davis trust her even more in the future.
What a femme fatale!
Lin Xiao glanced at Zhu Zhuyun with a meaningful look in her eyes. Compared to her younger sister Zhu Zhuqing's simple nature, Zhu Zhuyun was more cunning and would stop at nothing to achieve her goals.

Compared to such a femme fatale, a silly beauty like Sister Lingling is more worthy of my attention, and I don't need to be wary of her.

Fortunately, he had never trusted Zhu Zhuyun.

Lin Xiao knew that his soul skills and flames were too distinctive. Davis hadn't noticed them yet only because he was too scared and nervous. He would definitely be exposed when he went back to review the situation.

So, Lin Xiao removed the ghost mask, revealing his true face.

"Your Highness, how have you been?"

Davis was dumbfounded!

He was filled with shame, shock, anger, and fear!
Only two thoughts remained in my mind:

Damn it! It was that beast!

That's it! Lin Xiao won't let me off the hook.

Davis remained silent, but a sliver of hope lingered in his heart, so he kept his knees on the ground, head drooping, listless.

Zhu Zhuyun angrily rebuked:

"It was you? Lin Xiao! You're incredibly audacious!"

Wow, she picks up roles really fast.

Indeed, the true Best Actor award is never won at the Oscars.

"Fine, I might as well just go along with her." Lin Xiao chuckled.
"Why did the Crown Princess change her attitude so quickly? Didn't you just say you were willing to do anything?"

As he spoke, Lin Xiao pinched Zhu Zhuyun's fair chin.

Zhu Zhuyun angrily turned her head and spat:

"Bah! I will never betray Weiss!"

"Lin Xiao, don't think you're fearless just because you're from the Heaven Dou Empire! Heaven Dou is weak, and under the wrath of the Star Luo Emperor, Heaven Dou may not be able to protect you!"

"Don't be so stubborn!"

Lin Xiao sneered, "I was in seclusion here, but the First Prince inexplicably surrounded me with his men. I'm only sparing my life because of the Star Luo Emperor."

"If you seek revenge after this, I'll fight you to the bitter end!"

After speaking, Lin Xiao spread his Crimson Phoenix Wings, soared into the sky, and disappeared into the horizon.

Davis looked up blankly, and after a long while, he muttered to himself:
"I'm alive?"

Zhu Zhuyun said bitterly:

"That Lin Xiao is truly despicable, daring to pinch my chin! Fortunately, he is still afraid of the Empire after all."

That being said.

But Zhu Zhuyun was lost in thought, still feeling a tingling sensation on her chin. Lin Xiao was just acting at the time, and his pinching was a bit rough, but she still felt a lingering attachment to it.

Davis gradually gained confidence.

"Hmph, with a family to support, he's naturally afraid of the Empire!"

Yet, a deep sense of apprehension was revealed in his eyes.

"However, if Lin Xiao doesn't die, he will become a major threat to the Star Luo Empire, and I will have no peace of mind!"

He was increasingly eager for the day he would become emperor.

……

This has caused quite a stir.

Therefore, Lin Xiao did not linger for long.

The reason he didn't kill Davis was that killing him would bring no benefit, but rather many disadvantages.

Firstly, with the death of the eldest prince, Zhu Zhuyun's pawn is practically useless. She might even be given the throne to Dai Mubai for free, and she will be locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Xingluo Emperor.

Secondly, with Davis dead, Dai Mubai has also disappeared without a trace.

The Star Luo Empire is bound to be in chaos. Under the current circumstances, this undoubtedly gives the Spirit Hall an opportunity. The reason why the Spirit Hall has been hesitant to take action is precisely because it is wary of the two great empires.
"Hmm, by the way, where is Dai Mubai now?"

"Tang San's whereabouts are also unknown..."

"Forget it, never mind. I've already broken through to the Soul Saint realm. Now all I need to do is focus on becoming stronger. No matter how turbulent the situation becomes, I can overcome it with force."

This is the meaning of the saying, "Let him be strong as he may, the gentle breeze still caresses the mountain."

……

Davis was still in shock.

Under the cover of night, they returned to Xingluo City together with Zhu Zhuyun.

He found a hotel on the way and wanted to sleep with Zhu Zhuyun, but Zhu Zhuyun gently refused.

"Weiss, have you forgotten our agreement? Before becoming the crown prince, you must not indulge in pleasure, and you must not let desires break your will!"

"Are you willing to see Lin Xiao continue to be so smug?"

Davis was greatly encouraged by these words.

At the same time, moved, he said:
"Zhu Yun, you are such a good woman!"

late at night.

After taking a bath, Zhu Zhuyun was about to lie down when she felt a burning sensation in her lower abdomen.

In an instant, another person appeared in the room.

Lin Xiao smiled shyly.

"After thinking about it, I feel that you are still in relatively high danger. Before leaving the Star Luo Empire, it would be better to reinforce your mark."

This time, it's an advanced version that can imprint the soul.
