Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 558 Davis: It Doesn't Matter If the Child Isn't His Own
Lin Xiao transformed into a streak of crimson flames.

They sped off in one direction.

"Ok?"

Lin Xiao frowned slightly. In his mental detection, the mental energy of the wooden house distorted, and then a mental wave quickly fled into the distance.

Why bother with such tricks?

Lin Xiao completely ignored the rapidly disappearing spiritual energy and went straight to the outside of the wooden house.

This was a very ordinary residential house, but there were many arrangements around it to shield and interfere with mental energy. If Lin Xiao hadn't experienced a qualitative leap in mental energy after breaking through to the Title Douluo level, he wouldn't have been able to lock onto the wooden house so easily.

"Star Crown Douluo".

Lin Xiao called out.

inside the house.

Knowing he hadn't fooled Lin Xiao, Star Crown Douluo sighed, waved his hand, and the wooden door opened automatically. He then slowly walked out.

"Young friend Lin Xiao, we meet again."

Lin Xiao glanced at Star Crown Douluo with a half-smile, and bluntly pointed out:

Are you that afraid of me?

"They're playing tricks on me from a great distance, like feinting to the east while trying to escape, like a cicada shedding its shell."

"You old codger, you're really sneaky. Even when the ferocious beasts attacked, you didn't lift a finger. I just got a little closer and it was like I was encountering a raging flood."

Star Crown Douluo gave an awkward smile.

Unexpectedly, his little schemes were completely exposed in front of Lin Xiao.

At the same time, he couldn't help but secretly marvel at Lin Xiao's mental strength, wondering what terrifying level it had reached.

Lin Xiao could understand Star Crown Douluo. Anyone would panic when they sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching.

Moreover, concealment and keeping a low profile seem to be the tradition of the Star Crown Sect.

Star Crown Douluo bowed and thanked Lin Xiao.

"Thank you very much, young friend Lin Xiao."

"If it weren't for your help, young friend, my Star Luo Empire would have been devastated."

The Star Luo Empire's army was indeed powerful, and its numbers far exceeded those of the Soul Beasts.

However, firstly, the individual strength of the soul beasts is too great, and secondly, these soul beasts all know how to cooperate.

Thirdly, the Demon King's abilities can exert a great advantage on the battlefield. He can not only summon treants to lead the way, but also has a certain healing and recovery ability.

It is foreseeable.

Without Lin Xiao, Wusheng Pass would fall soon, and then the soul beasts would be able to advance unimpeded, plunging the Star Luo Empire into a true bloodbath.

Lin Xiao said calmly:
"It's just a matter of a few gestures."

After speaking, Lin Xiao stared intently at Star Crown Douluo, seemingly deep in thought.

Star Crown Douluo felt a chill run down his spine, and sweat beaded on his forehead.

Lin Xiao was thinking about Zhu Zhuyun. This woman wanted to seize power, and the biggest obstacle was the Xingguan Sect. This sect, which was closely related to the Xingluo Dai Clan, would never tolerate the Zhu family touching the imperial power.

This isn't a matter of personal relationship.

This involves the vital interests of the Star Crown Sect.

When the Star Luo Dai Clan was around, the Star Crown Sect could be considered the state religion of the Star Luo Empire. It was as if the emperor shared the world with them. If the Dai Clan faced a crisis in the future, the Star Crown Sect would do everything in its power to help them.

When the Dai clan declined, the Xingguan clan came to power.

But he's just a mere Super Douluo.

If Fengge wanted to, it wouldn't be able to stir up any trouble at all, so why bother to take action here?

The old man was just a bit cautious; he didn't do anything to offend anyone...

Lin Xiao left behind a sentence.

“Star Crown Douluo, you are a smart man, and you know what to do most of the time.”

After saying that, Lin Xiao did not linger.

Taking advantage of his trip to the Star Luo Empire, he also went to inspect Zhu Zhuqing's work and to give Zhu Zhuyun instructions regarding Ye Qingxian's folk beliefs.

Only Star Crown Douluo remained, his brows furrowed as he pondered the meaning behind Lin Xiao's words.

……

Xingluo City. Davis's high spirits after being named crown prince did not last long; he was soon filled with greater anger and panic.

His illness is not cured yet!
What the hell does this happen?

It must have been that beast Tang San's doing!

Seeing that he had already ascended to the position of Crown Prince, and that the Star Luo Emperor had clearly indicated that he was being groomed as his successor.

Davis's sense of urgency grew stronger.

There is no such thing as a eunuch prince in the world.

A eunuch emperor?

Recently, his supporters and subordinates have been subtly suggesting that he and the Crown Princess should have a son as soon as possible.

Only by having a child can one truly stabilize people's hearts; even the Star Luo Emperor subtly urged him to do so.

But how will Davis have children?

He even had to keep it a secret from Zhu Zhuyun!
fortunately.

Zhu Yun is a good woman. Even though she is alone in her empty room and he treats her like a stranger, she still forces a smile every day and never bothers him.

Davis felt a surge of emotion.

However, this is simply wishful thinking.

Zhu Zhuyun's smiles weren't forced; they were genuine, relaxed, and joyful. It wasn't that she never bothered him, but she was too lazy to pretend anymore and didn't even want to see him.

"Tang San, I will never forgive you!"

Davis, filled with resentment and unable to vent his anger, could only angrily slam his fist into the cutting board, smashing it to pieces.

Right now, he can't even care about the Spirit Empire and the ferocious beast tide. Instead, he is preoccupied with solving the problem of his offspring. However, the long period of disappointment has made Davis feel desperate, to the point that his heart has begun to twist.

pity.

The Star Luo Empire has a peculiar royal family. Every emperor's brother died in the successive battles for the throne, making it impossible for them to even have adopted children.

Now it seems.

It would be better to let Dai Zhen have another child.

But, would the throne still be his?
How long will it take for Dai Zhenxin's youngest son to grow up?
Davis's face contorted, his gloomy face appearing as if it were dripping wet.

A crazy idea popped into my head.

Is there any way to have the best of both worlds?

such as.

He could both become emperor and solve the problem of having offspring.

It's not impossible, actually.

"If I were to be frank with my father and allow him to have sex with Zhuyun, and then announce the pregnancy to the public, even though Zhuyun is carrying my younger brother, only heaven and earth would know, and no one else would."

"Even if he looks like his father, no outsider will suspect anything, and his martial soul will be the White Tiger martial soul when he awakens in the future."

"It doesn't matter whose child it is, as long as it carries the blood of the Dai family and is my Dai family's son."

"Even if this incurable disease is never cured in my lifetime, I can still become emperor and pass the throne to the crown prince on my deathbed..."

This approach not only solves the problem but also ensures a stable transfer of power.

Davis understood Dai Zhen; his father was a cold-blooded political machine, and upon learning the truth, he would certainly choose to do this.

This is the safest and most reliable way to protect the Dai family's reputation.

The only person I feel sorry for is Zhu Zhuyun.

A flicker of pain crossed Davis's eyes. This woman was so wonderful!
How much he wanted her!
But I'm sorry, Zhuyun, in the end, no matter how capable you are, you're just a woman, a tool for reproduction, and a political bargaining chip.

If sacrificing you could allow me to ascend the throne and ensure the stability of the Dai family's empire, would you do it?

Zhu Zhuyun's thoughts were irrelevant; all she needed to do was obediently spread her legs and then obediently give birth to the prince.

Anyway.

No matter who she bears a prince for, she will still be the future empress.

It's not like I owe her anything.

After a fierce internal struggle, Davis's gaze gradually turned dangerous, flickering with an uncertain light...
