Douluo: I Have an Unnamed Law

Chapter 302 Names, Snow Star Cuts Territory (Two-in-One Chapter)

"You mean, the evil soul master Limit Douluo who took Yu Xiaogang away was Senior Tang Chen?"

Inside the Pope's bedroom, Bibi Dong, with her pregnant belly, sat gracefully on a sofa of just the right firmness. After hearing Gu Han's story, her eyes were filled with surprise.

"But how could Senior Tang Chen, a Limit Douluo, have his body taken over by someone else?"

"Furthermore, does possession truly exist in this world?"

"Aren't those all fabricated from your stories, junior brother?"

Bibi Dong asked a lot of questions at once, clearly finding it extremely hard to believe that a Limit Douluo had been possessed.

Limit Douluo! He's the strongest even a god couldn't possess him! How could he be possessed by a mere non-god?

What surprised her even more was that the concept of possession actually existed.

Gu Han paused for a moment, then pretended to analyze the situation using language the other party could accept, while actually explaining: "The guy who possessed Senior Tang Chen still retains his original physical characteristics, resembling a blood-red bat. I guess he might be the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King from the City of Slaughter."

"It's impossible for the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King to possess Senior Tang Chen on its own. So it must be related to the God Realm. There's a god scheming against Senior Tang Chen, or rather, a god deliberately manipulating the changes in the situation on the continent."

"That explains it. Only a god could help the not-so-strong Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King possess a level 99 powerhouse."

Bibi Dong nodded slightly. This analysis made her feel that things were not so unbelievable. She had long been in contact with the existence of gods, and was even the successor of a god herself. Although she did not know the methods of the gods, her strength was already terrifying when her soul power was only five percent of the divine power.

It's unimaginable what it would be like if all of it were transformed into divine power.

And the methods of God are beyond her current comprehension.

Possessing the body of a being who is ninety-nine years old—looking across heaven and earth, only a god could do that.

However, upon further reflection, Bibi Dong said worriedly, "We should try our best not to let Yuehua know about this, otherwise it will be a big blow to her."

"Ah."

Gu Han nodded.

"Now things are clear. The destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan must have been caused by Yu Xiaogang joining this so-called Holy Cult that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and colluding with its experts."

"His purpose is inextricably linked to his current level of cultivation."

"I have already instructed the propaganda department to spread this matter among all the major soul master factions on the continent."

"Hmph, Yu Xiaogang has already stooped to the point of murdering his own family, does he still care about this little bit of reputation?"

"You can't say that, Senior Sister. You don't understand Yu Xiaogang. This guy is obsessed with becoming stronger, but actually he just wants to become famous on the mainland, enjoy a high status, and enjoy the feeling of standing at the top and being worshipped by others."

Gu Han smiled and continued to explain, "Besides, isn't Yu Xiaogang trying to become famous? Infamy is still fame. As his old friend, how could I not lend him a hand?"

"Whatever, it's none of my business. Our baby is due in two months. Have you thought of a name yet?"

Bibi Dong said that she was terrible at naming things and had come up with many names, but she was not satisfied with any of them. So, she habitually brought up the matter with Gu Han.

Gu Han said he needed to think about it carefully. When asked about it again, Gu Han gave an awkward smile.

"The baby hasn't been born yet, let me think about it some more."

"Never mind, there's still plenty of time. Take your time thinking about it, but make sure you think it through in the next few days so you don't forget."

Bibi Dong rolled her eyes at the other person, who was obviously busy dealing with things or cultivating all day long and had completely forgotten about naming the child.

However, she didn't complain. After all, even if the other person took it out now, she might not like it. Rather than making a hasty decision, she might as well wait. There was still time.

Gu Han coughed lightly, then fell into thought. There was no technology in this world that could tell in advance whether it was a boy or a girl, so he had to think of two names.

Boys' names are easy, but girls' names are difficult.

Therefore, the first name Gu Han thought of was a boy's name.

"No need, I've already thought of something. If it's a boy, let's name him Gu Nanfeng. 'The gentle breeze blows from the south, blowing on the heart of the thorns.' Nanfeng means summer wind, symbolizing warmth and growth, and it implies that it is as gentle as the wind, nourishing things silently."

"Gu Nanfeng".

Bibi Dong muttered something under her breath, nodded, and was quite satisfied with the name. Then she continued, "What if it's a girl?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Han pondered for a moment.

Bibi Dong didn't urge them, and waited quietly.

After a long while, Gu Han finally smiled and said, "If it's a girl, we'll name her Gu Shuangyue. Shuangyue means 'the bright moon shines, and white dew turns to frost,' which implies purity and nobility."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong laughed and teased, "Aloof and noble, are you really that afraid your daughter will be kidnapped?"

Gu Han smiled and said, "The south wind symbolizes summer, and the frosty moon symbolizes the bright moon in winter. Isn't that a perfect match?"

The south wind has nothing to do with the sun.

However, Bibi Dong didn't actually say it out loud. She just made a small complaint in her heart and didn't expose Gu Han's thoughts.

"Frostmoon, hmm, this one will do."

Bibi Dong finally decided that if it was a boy, he would be named Nanfeng, and if it was a girl, she would be named Shuangyue.

Just then, Ah Yin came out of the kitchen carrying a long plate with a braised crucian carp on it. The plate was brightly colored and glossy, and you could smell the aroma of fish even before you got close.

Two blonde little girls followed behind her, each carrying a plate of food.

It's chicken soup, and there are also small meatballs.

"Be careful."

Ah Yin glanced back at the two little guys whose eyes were shining as they looked at the food in their hands. After obtaining their spirit rings, the two little guys had grown to about 1.4 to 1.5 meters tall, so carrying a plate was not a problem for them. The two of them were always bickering and fighting, and they weren't as pretentious as one might imagine.

"Mmm, Sister Yin, please don't treat us like little kids."

"That's right, we've all grown up."

Qian Renxue and Gu Qiu'er expressed their dissatisfaction, saying that it was a huge underestimation of them to have to give instructions for something as simple as carrying a plate.

Ah Yin smiled, said nothing, and after placing the dishes on the table, she greeted Gu Han and Bibi Dong.

"Dong'er, Gu Han, dinner is ready."

"Okay, here we come."

Gu Han responded and smiled, "Dong'er, let's go eat first." "Okay."

Bibi Dong stood up gracefully, showing no signs of being affected by her pregnancy.

Upon arriving at the dining table, Ah Yin served everyone a bowl of rice before finally serving herself and sitting down.

"Thank you."

The group thanked them and accepted their rice.

Gu Han doesn't have any rules about not talking while eating. As long as you're careful and don't choke or get a fish bone stuck in your throat, you're fine.

Gu Qiu'er looked at Bibi Dong's belly and chuckled, "Hehe, soon you'll have a little brother or sister."

As she spoke, she gave Qian Renxue a provocative look, as if to say, "Envious? If you're so envious, then have your parents have one too."

Qian Renxue felt a little envious, then pouted unconvinced.

"Tch, what's the big deal? Brother Gu Han and Sister Dong'er's child is my child, Qian Renxue's child."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qiu'er swallowed the small meatball in her mouth, glared at Qian Renxue with a huff, and said irritably, "Don't think I didn't realize you were taking advantage of me."

Qian Renxue ignored the other person, scooped a spoonful of chicken soup into the bowl in front of her, and mixed it with rice. It smelled really good.

However, in her heart, Qian Renxue was also thinking of going back and throwing a tantrum to make her parents have another one, so that this hateful big yellow dog wouldn't show off in front of her every day.

However, she wasn't just talking nonsense. She could completely treat Dong'er's child as her own, as her own nephew or niece.

Of course, Da Huang won't complain, she's just a little disobedient.

Thinking this, Qian Renxue felt that the rice in her hand smelled even better than before.

"I always felt that this guy wasn't up to any good."

Gu Qiu'er narrowed her eyes slightly and muttered to herself.

But when she saw Qian Renxue picking up the meatballs faster and faster, she didn't have time to think and shouted, "Leave some for me!!" Then the two of them started a chopsticks battle.

Gu Han smiled at this, thinking that things were getting more and more lively.

Bibi Dong watched the two little ones' daily bickering with a smile. She didn't find it noisy at all; on the contrary, she thought it was quite nice, at least it wouldn't be boring.

Ah Yin ate quietly, but there was an undisguised smile in her eyes.

Inside the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

Emperor Xuexing sat on the throne at the head of the table, looking down at the assembled officials.

"My esteemed ministers, since the reign of the late emperor, the war between my Heavenly Dou Empire and Star Luo has been a mix of victories and defeats. However, Star Luo now has the Holy Church joining its ranks, bringing with it countless powerful Title Douluo."

"The messenger I sent to Spirit City to ask for help replied that the Spirit Hall is willing to help my Heaven Dou Empire resist those Title Douluos, but on the condition that my Heaven Dou Empire cede the Hagendas Kingdom and the important city of Xilu in the south of the Silvers Kingdom. I wonder what you all think?"

To be honest, Xue Xing was furious when she saw this condition, but if she didn't agree, the strength of the Tian Dou Empire alone would probably not be enough to fight against Xing Luo.

At that point, it won't just be a matter of one country or one city, but the destruction of the entire nation.

In response, Zhi Lin immediately spoke up respectfully: "Your Majesty, I believe that we can agree to the Spirit Hall's request. Firstly, the world is plagued by disasters and the people are in a state of discontent. The empire is already struggling to manage the situation. If we give a duchy to Spirit City, then disaster relief will be the Spirit Hall's responsibility. We can save a lot of resources and focus on fighting against the Star Luo Empire."

"Secondly, both the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom and Xilu City are located south of Jialing Pass. As long as we control Jialing Pass, we can constantly deter the movements of the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom."

Zhi Lin's words, seemingly for the sake of the Heaven Dou Empire, were actually more in support of the Spirit Hall.

The territory of a nation is no small matter; it represents endless wealth. Although disasters are rampant at the moment, the Spirit Hall's capabilities will allow it to be quelled quickly.

By then, Jialing Pass will be nothing more than a challenge. If the Spirit Hall wanted to, how could the Heaven Dou Empire, without any Title Douluos, possibly defend it?
Which of the Soul Master factions within the Heaven Dou territory would be willing to become an enemy of the Spirit Hall for the sake of the Heaven Dou royal family?

At this moment, Zhilin seemed to have already foreseen the impending doom of the Tiandou Kingdom.

Xue Xing looked hesitant and conflicted. Seeing this, Bai Baoshan and Meng Shenji immediately stepped forward and bowed.

"I second the proposal."

The representative of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the Heavenly Dou Court also stepped forward.

"I second the proposal."

The sect leader had specifically instructed him that if the Spirit Hall wanted to take a piece of flesh from the Heavenly Dou Sect, then he should absolutely not object.

"I second the proposal!!"

Then one minister after another stepped out of the ranks.

Among the military officers, the one whom Xuexing had painstakingly helped to rise glanced at Xuexing, and Xuexing shook her head slightly at him, so the man had no choice but to say no more.

"Since none of you ministers have any objections, let's settle this matter."

"Guards, draft the decree."

The people of Xuexing were extremely unwilling, but the situation was critical. If they agreed to the Spirit Hall's conditions, given the chaotic state of Tiandou, it would be impossible for them to withstand the attack of the Xingluo army.

Moreover, given the Spirit Hall's infiltration and expansion in the Heaven Dou Kingdom over the years, more than one principality has been outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant towards the Heaven Dou Kingdom; the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom is one of them.

The Spirit Hall has been eyeing the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom for quite some time now, but they've refused to give it up. Now that things are in such chaos, the other side can take it for themselves.

At that time, whether Tian Dou should fight the Spirit Hall for the sake of face and suffer humiliation, or go with the flow now and avoid a meaningless war, Xue Xing could weigh the options.

Although she understood the reasoning, Xuexing could not accept it.

"Alas, this is the only way to preserve our ancestral heritage."

The Heavenly Dou Empire was no longer newly established. Back then, it was teeming with experts, enjoyed popular support, and even the lowest commoners in the villages responded to its call.

But things are different now. Those commoners are becoming increasingly difficult to mobilize. When they hear about conscription or labor, they try every means to avoid it. Some even register their land under the names of local nobles to avoid it.

After the banner was hung, these people could still farm, but the tax revenue went to the local nobles instead of the empire.

The fact that nobles do not pay taxes is one of the national policies established by the Heavenly Dou Empire, and Xue Xing can't do anything about it no matter how envious she is.

He didn't have enough military power or skilled warriors to carry out sweeping reforms. Once this pie was touched, Xue Xing was completely confident that this group of Soul Master nobles would kill him and then put on a more obedient emperor.

Xue Xing had no intention of restoring the empire in his life. All he could do now was to prevent the empire from falling in his hands and to hope that in the future, the royal family would produce a wise and capable emperor who could sweep away the ills and revitalize Tian Dou.
