Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 559 Father Emperor...please favor Zhu Yun!
Men all have their own dignity.

A woman is the embodiment of a man's dignity. A man with a strong sense of self-respect will not allow his woman to be harmed, nor will he allow other men to defile her.

But that's imperial power!
Compared to all men's supreme dreams and glory, what is dignity worth?

Davis was struggling internally.

Sometimes Zhu Zhuyun's gentle and sweet face would appear in his mind, and sometimes he would feel ashamed because of his own disability.

"Zhu Yun... Zhu Yun saved me when my life was in danger! If it weren't for Zhu Yun, I would have died from Dai Mubai and Tang San's schemes long ago."

"But now I'm thinking of using Zhuyun to exchange for the throne. I'm a real scoundrel!"

Davis was tormented by self-blame.

He remembered Zhu Zhuyun's kindness; this woman was like the spring breeze, always bringing meticulous care, and her smile always warmed people's hearts.

When he truly made up his mind to sacrifice Zhu Zhuyun, it was precisely when his inner reluctance was at its strongest.

Because he realized that he was really going to lose this woman.

but.

Davis, after all, had the blood of the Star Luo royal family flowing through his veins. Especially at this moment, when he made the decision to abandon the woman, he felt incredibly cool, like a lone wolf in the wilderness.

But the thought that Zhu Zhuyun would be in unbearable pain because of this, and that she would show a look of shock and despair when faced with the truth, filled him with a strong sense of excitement.

How can I describe this feeling?
It was as if he had become a real man, making Zhu Zhuyun cry and beg for mercy all night long.

He makes women feel pain in order to satisfy his own lack of male dignity.

Davis took a deep breath.

Without further hesitation, he walked along the road, exuding a resolute and unapproachable aura, heading towards the palace.

He wanted to meet with Dai Zhen.

Let's have an open and honest talk!

……

The main hall of the imperial palace.

Davis, who was kneeling in front of Emperor Dai Zhen of the Star Luo Dynasty, couldn't help but frown.

"What business does the Crown Prince have with me?"

Dai Zhen's tone was not pleasant.

He's been so worried about the Spirit Empire and the beast tide lately that he can't eat.

However, despite being the crown prince and holding the position of Crown Prince, Davis showed little interest in national affairs and had been spending a lot of time at his residence recently, with no one knowing what he was doing.

It's really... disappointing.

Davis remained kneeling on the ground for a long time, and when he finally raised his head, his face was covered in tears.

This scene.

This startled Dai Zhen, who asked, somewhat bewildered:
"What are you doing?"

Davis took a deep breath and, almost in tears, recounted everything that had happened.

From the moment Dai Mubai and Tang San conspired to assassinate him, he almost died at Tang San's hands. Later, Tang San poisoned him, causing him to lose his basic male functions.

I've consulted numerous renowned doctors during this period, but none of them could cure me. Now I can only accept my fate.

Emperor Dai Zhen, who was usually inscrutable, was utterly bewildered when he heard something so outrageous that he showed a look of utter confusion for the first time ever.

After Davis finished speaking.

half an hour.

The iron-blooded emperor of the Star Luo Empire finally spoke slowly:

"So, in other words, Your Highness, you are now no different from a eunuch?"

Hearing Dai Zhen say it himself.

Davis felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Then he slowly said:
"That's right, Father."

Admitting to his own worst flaw made Davis feel as if he had thrown his dignity to the ground and stepped over it himself.

Dai Zhen said in a deep voice:
"How can a eunuch become the crown prince?"

"And how then can one become an emperor?"

He glared at Davis with a captivating gaze.

Instantly, it brought Davis a tremendous sense of pressure.

Davis gritted his teeth, suppressing the pain in his heart, and said almost word by word:

"Your Majesty, I beg your help!"

Dai Zhen simply stared at Davis without saying a word.

After Davis took the first step, his speech became much smoother, but it was still full of humiliation.

"Father, please have the pleasure of having sex with Zhu Yun and let her give birth to a prince. This matter must be kept secret from outsiders; that would be the safest course of action!"

Dai Zhen's pupils contracted, clearly surprised by Davis's words, but after careful consideration, he felt that this plan was indeed the safest and most beneficial to the dignity and succession of the royal family.

As for Zhu Zhuyun's own thoughts?

Sorry.

Emperor Dai Zhen never considered these things.

So-called thunder and rain are all the emperor's grace; the emperor's commands are obeyed without question.

The emperor's will must be obeyed by both men and women.

only……

Dai Zhen gave Davis a deep look, then sighed and said:
"Weiss, are you willing to accept this?"

"No man would think of things so lightly, especially since, as far as I know, you and Zhu Zhuyun have a very good relationship."

Davis's words were almost entirely written in blood and tears.

“I love Zhuyun… but I love the Dai family’s empire even more! The Dai family’s empire must not die out in my hands. Therefore, even if it means risking great humiliation, I must be honest with you, Father Emperor.”

"I beg Father to favor Zhu Yun and let her give birth to a child of my Dai family. It would be a blessing for her. But please, Father, have pity on Zhu Yun."

"She...is still a virgin."

"Oh?" Dai Zhen was taken aback at first, then a strange light appeared in his eyes.

"A virgin? That's really rare. You're so old, haven't you ever been with a woman before?"

Davis clenched his fist, which was hidden inside his sleeve, his nails digging deep into his palm.

"I have been with many women, but I have never touched Zhu Yun, and we have never had any intimate contact. We have always treated each other with respect."

"This was Zhu Yun's idea. She was afraid that I would become unruly before I won the struggle for the throne, so she kept a close watch on me. Later on, I was powerless to stop her."

Dai Zhen seemed to be deep in thought.

"It seems."

“My daughter-in-law is quite virtuous.”

Hearing the words "daughter-in-law".

Davis looked pained again.

Dai Zhen glanced at him, then waved his hand and said:
"Okay, I understand."

"Right now I'm busy with two major matters: the Martial Soul Empire and the Beast Tide. Once I'm done with these, please have Zhu Zhuyun come to the palace when you have some free time."

What are you doing in the palace?
The answer lies in the question itself.

Davis nodded.

……

After Davis left the palace.

I felt a sense of loss and emptiness.

He was filled with mixed feelings, and ultimately, as if possessed, he walked toward the Zhu family mansion.

He suddenly felt an urgent desire to see Zhu Zhuyun, to see her smile, to see her gentle demeanor, and her slender, beautiful figure…

At least, at this moment, Zhu Zhuyun still belongs to him.

But after arriving at the Zhu family mansion...

Davis remained silent for a long time, and finally left without saying a word.

Forget it.

Don't linger too long; she's just a woman, and from now on she'll be serving the Emperor on his bed...
