Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 205 Di Lingxi

While he successfully broke down the Shrek group's defenses with the charm of his words, Wu San still had to maintain appearances.

However, to vent his resentment, Wu San deliberately limped a step slower, and only helped Song Yunzhi up after receiving the full bow.

"Senior Song, please rise. Don't be so polite. What I want to do coincides with what your institution has in mind!"

Having said that, without giving anyone else a chance to react, he forced himself to endure the nausea and pulled the old woman to the soul-guiding light screen, where he brought up an even more complicated route map.

"Seniors, please take a look. Since the emergence of evil spirit masters, they have occupied major transportation routes and key cities, and they frequently rob passing vehicles."

"The Spirit Soul Chamber of Commerce has also suffered greatly. So far, the Chamber's profits have dropped by about 30%, which is really troubling me."

"Of course, I have also joined forces with many other forces to wipe out these evil soul masters, but unfortunately the results were minimal. Even when titled Douluo took action, there were few gains."

At this point, Wu San secretly glanced at the crowd who were listening intently, and finally revealed his true intentions.

"Therefore, I sincerely hope to receive help from the Shrek seniors."

However, Song Yunzhi interrupted Wu San, who was about to use psychological manipulation on them, once again. Her expression was no longer bitter, but became extremely angry and agitated.

"Youngster, Shrek Academy has already reached this point, and you still want us to face two Limit Douluos? What are your intentions?!"

Looking around at the furious old men, Wu San, who was once again suppressed by soul power, was unusually confused. Did he say that?

Seriously, are these old geezers out of their minds?! When did he order them to fight those two patriarchs?!
In the end, Wu San had no choice but to suppress his anger and offer a helpless explanation.

"Seniors, you have misunderstood. I have no intention of asking your academy to target evil spirit masters again. I simply wish to hire your academy's geniuses to escort the caravan and ensure the profits of the merchant guild."

As soon as she finished speaking, Song Yunzhi realized that she had acted impulsively again. She then smiled awkwardly, released the soul power that was suppressing Wu San, but her tone was still unfriendly.

"Hmph! So you mean you want us Shrek people to work for you?! You money-grubbing bastards don't even deserve it!"

Wu San sneered inwardly upon hearing this. "A money-grubbing person? If you're so capable, then don't waste the master's money!"

"Senior Song, you are mistaken. Even if you seniors have extraordinary cultivation and no longer need cultivation resources, what about your disciples and teachers?"

"Their current cultivation level requires an astronomical amount of resources each year. How long can you seniors sustain this?"

"Of course I can provide your academy's disciples with cultivation resources unconditionally, but if word gets out, your academy's reputation will be completely ruined."

"Therefore, I have decided that your academy will be responsible for protecting the caravan's safety. In exchange, the Chamber of Commerce will provide sufficient resources to assist the disciples in their cultivation."

"In this way, we can not only silence all the gossip, but also show outsiders the indomitable spirit of Shrek Academy. Why not do it?"

Seeing that Wu San looked like he was doing it all for their own good, and considering that the disciples' cultivation resources were indeed a major problem that they were powerless to solve, they realized that Wu San was completely doing his job.

Moreover, what they find most unacceptable is that Shrek's reputation has been ruined.

Shrek is already on the pillar of shame, and we can't let them be further tarnished by their already fragile reputation.

Therefore, in just a few words, Song Yunzhi and others were greatly shaken and completely forgot their plan to use others to their advantage.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Wu San gave these old fogies one last dose of strong medicine.

"Even if you seniors don't think about yourselves, you should at least think about the people who are living in dire straits. If it weren't for my limited abilities, how could I allow such petty people to act so recklessly?"

These last words ignited Xuanzi's passion, and he immediately agreed, ignoring Song Yunzhi's hints.

"Alright! Xiao Wu, Shrek Academy accepts this deal! But not a single bit of cultivation resources can be missing, and they must far exceed the allotted amount! Our standard of living cannot be lowered either!"

Wu San: "???"

Has this old geezer never had a good life? I could understand the first few requests, but what's with this last one?!

"Of course, it's nothing. It's just a few resources, not as precious as the disciples of your esteemed academy."

Finally, Wu Sanqiang forced a smile and agreed to Xuanzi's request.

Song Yunzhi looked at Xuanzi speechlessly. She had originally wanted Lin Huiqun to step forward and fight for more benefits, so that it would be easier to "borrow a chicken to lay eggs" in the future.

To her surprise, Xuanzi, this good-for-nothing glutton, readily agreed. However, in order to save face for Xuanzi in front of others, she couldn't stop the deal from going through, and could only secretly regret this rare opportunity.

"In that case, I will not disturb your rest any longer. Let's discuss the details before the next Chamber of Commerce caravan departs."

Having achieved his goal, Wu San, with a calm expression, turned and left the VIP living room, heading towards his office.

Once everyone was alone, Wu San lowered his guard and slumped onto the sofa, reflecting on what had just happened.

"No wonder the Lord doesn't want to see these old bastards. They're not even worthy of being described as wanting to have their cake and eat it too. And with their intelligence, what are they going to do with this 'borrowing chickens to lay eggs' game?"

Suddenly, a voice came from the corner of the office, interrupting Wu San's mutterings.

"Brother Wu, judging from your current appearance, your plans are not going well?"

Zhang Peng emerged from the shadows, plopped down on the other sofa, and asked about the details of what had just happened.

It wasn't that he didn't want to listen in, but no matter how trashy Xuanzi was, he was still level 98. A level 97 person might not be able to completely escape Xuanzi's perception.

"No, it's going very smoothly. Once Shrek's disciples start dying in large numbers, those old guys will definitely get restless. At that point, they won't be able to avoid facing those evil soul masters."

"In that case, what should we do next?"

"Just like the original plan, let them have a taste of sweetness first, so that they will lower their guard."

"Alright, you decide. I'll go and deal with those uncontrollable evil spirit masters now."

After saying that, Zhang Peng's figure disappeared into the darkness again, leaving Xingluo City and flying towards one of the red dots on the map.

"Shrek, let's see how long you can keep this up."

. . .

On the other side, Lin Po, who had already arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest, was looking at the two stunningly beautiful girls in front of him with a helpless expression.

After listening to their explanations, Lin Po asked one of the blonde girls, who looked completely unfamiliar:

"So, in order to come with me to the human world, you chose to take human form?"

"Ok!"

"It was under your guidance, my lord sister, that you were able to achieve autonomous transformation based on your own bloodline? Even your martial spirit has changed?!"

"Ok!"

"So in the end you want me to name you?"

"Ok!"

"Don't just keep saying 'uh-huh'! Is this reasonable?! We've only met once, and you're already planning to give yourself away?!"

Ignoring the boy's irritating complaints, the blonde girl stared at Lin Po with anticipation, wanting to see what kind of name he would give her.

"Alright, alright, stop staring at me like that. How about we call her Di Lingxi?"

"Di Lingxi, Lingxi, what a beautiful name, I love it! Thank you, Lin Po!"

As if she had received the most precious gift, the blonde girl named 'Di Lingxi' smiled so brightly that all the flowers paled in comparison.

Then, under Gu Yuena's glare that seemed ready to strike, Di Lingxi pulled Lin Po into her arms, completely unaware of the murderous intent emanating from behind her.

Lin Po, who was tightly bound, was not having an easy time either. As the owner of a dragon-type martial soul, the blonde girl's innate strength caused Lin Po, who was caught off guard, great pain.

"Rui Lingxi, let go! Lin Po is rolling his eyes!"

"Ah! Lin Po! Don't die!"
