Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 209 There is no one in the world
Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and everything in Mingdu remained unchanged, appearing exceptionally peaceful.

But anyone with eyes can see the undercurrents beneath this calm surface.

All this was because news had spread from the palace that the powerful Crown Prince Xu Tianran had run into trouble.

The outside world knows very little about this matter. At most, a few forces can learn from their spies in the palace that Xu Tianran is currently suffering from a deadly poison and is searching the world for an antidote.

The facts are not much different from what has been said by the outside world.

Xu Tianran was indeed drugged, but it wasn't some kind of deadly poison. Instead, it was a special aphrodisiac that Zhongli Wu had obtained from Wu San from a great distance.

Speaking of this aphrodisiac, we must mention the talented alchemist from the Spirit Soul Merchant Guild.

It was he who provided Lin Po with the mind-control powder when he was in Xingluo City last time, ensuring Zhang Lexuan's safety.

This time, that talent once again made a great contribution to Lin Po.

Zhongli Wu was furious after learning about Xu Tianran's actions.

If it weren't for the need to avoid disrupting Lin Po's plans, he would have wanted to storm the palace directly, kill Xu Tianran, and give his disciple an explanation.

However, the time was not right. He could neither fight nor kill. Zhongli Wu would need a lot of time to transform a titled Douluo, let alone a prince.

So, Zhongliwu, who was frowning over this matter, unexpectedly caught a glimpse of an old woman soliciting customers on the street as she flew over Mingdu.

He then fell into a long period of deep thought.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into his mind, an extremely insidious one.

If he remembered correctly, that bastard Xu Tianran had long been impotent. What would happen if he gave him some aphrodisiacs at this time?
Without hesitation, Zhongli Wu set off immediately, arriving at Xingluo City at the fastest speed he had ever traveled.

After effortlessly evading the Shrek Academy members' notice, Zhongli Wu approached Wu San, who was arranging Shrek's itinerary, and made his request.

After some conversation, Wu San realized that the sect leader was avenging his master. Without hesitation, he summoned the alchemy prodigy and obtained a large bottle of special aphrodisiac from him.

According to that genius, just the amount of a single fingernail is enough to keep a dozen fat pigs working themselves to death without sleep.

Having obtained what he needed, Zhongli Wu, under the bright moonlight, rushed back to Mingdu to find Kong Deming.

There was no way around it; even for a Limit Douluo, it would be extremely difficult to drug Xu Tianran while evading all the detection soul tools within the Crown Prince's residence for an extended period.

The best approach would be to gain the support of the most powerful retainer of the Sun Moon Empire, which would give him ample time to act.

Kong Deming, who was still researching the 'Battle Armor', was startled by the sudden appearance of the black-robed man and almost took out the 'Silver Moon Divine Light Shield' to hit Zhongli Wu's face.

It was Zhongli Wu who took the initiative to admit defeat and explain his relationship with Lin Po, which finally made Kong Deming lower his guard and ask him about the purpose of his visit.

Kong Deming was initially strongly opposed to Zhong Liwu's plan.

After all, drugging a cripple with aphrodisiacs is such a vicious tactic that it goes against his life principles.

However, in the end, Zhongli Wu's words instantly shattered her psychological defenses.

"Brother Kong, you don't want your granddaughter to be targeted by that bastard in the palace again, do you? I don't believe he has no interest in the Moon Martial Soul."

Kong Deming had already devoted all his attention to Zhang Lexuan, his great-granddaughter who had been lost and found again, and he would certainly not allow her to be harmed or threatened by the outside world again.

Therefore, he decisively abandoned the beliefs he had upheld for most of his life and agreed to Zhongliwu's plan.

They even gave him special permission to move freely within the Ming Dynasty Crown Prince's residence.

And there was only one requirement: before Lin Po emerged from seclusion, Xu Tianran must be rendered incapable of causing any further trouble.

Zhongli Wu readily agreed and turned to head towards the Crown Prince's residence.

In the days that followed, Xu Tianran never appeared in public again.

He even missed the morning assembly, which he used to desperately want to attend.

There's no other reason than that the drug was too effective; so effective that if Xu Tianran couldn't release his pent-up emotions in time, he risked suffocating.

The problem is that Xu Tianran, being disabled, has long lost the ability to vent his frustrations, so how can he save his life?

After enduring the agonizing pain of burning desire several times thanks to the low temperature and sheer willpower, Xu Tianran finally learned his usual solution from a eunuch with peculiar tastes.

As for the specifics, Zhong Liwu said the scene was too shocking to bear and would cause one's worldview to collapse instantly.

Xu Tianran had considered finding the culprit, but his soul-guided detection device couldn't detect any unusual individuals, and no one in the palace could sense the aura of a Limit Douluo. He only used what his servants first tested, confirming it was safe and proper.

Nevertheless, Xu Tianran would still suddenly become aroused in various places, acting as if he were going crazy.

Therefore, in order to avoid exposing his ugly side to the world, Xu Tianran could only hide in the Crown Prince's residence, accompanied by several tall, burly, dark-skinned men, waiting for the 'pleasure' that would come from time to time.

Over time, this ambitious crown prince actually adapted to his unique life and even began to secretly look forward to it.

Not only did he neglect state affairs, but he spent his days waiting for an 'accident' to happen so that he could enjoy the thrill of something that touched people's hearts.

His only gain in those three months was probably that the sound of his exhaust changed from 'puff puff' to 'ha ha'.

. . .

In the spirit world, Lin Po, who has been in seclusion for three months, is also about to emerge. Not only has he achieved his predetermined goal, but he is also just one step away from breaking through to the Soul Douluo level.

Meanwhile, within the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, two beautiful women who should have been waiting for Lin Po to emerge from seclusion were staring at each other, neither of them speaking.

Hyotei was the first to succumb to the girl's scrutiny and give in.

"Hey Xue'er, could you please stop staring at me like that? It's kind of creepy."

"No way! I never expected that Bing'er, you lesbian with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually steal my man!"
"Didn't you promise me before that you didn't like Lin Po?! How could you change your mind so quickly!"

The girl called 'Xue'er' was none other than the Snow Emperor, who had sacrificed herself to Lin Po several months earlier.

Not long ago, Xue Di officially broke through her cultivation barrier and successfully transformed into the first spirit in the spirit world.

She had intended to share this joy with her sweetheart as soon as possible, but she was disappointed to learn from her sister that Lin Po had gone into seclusion.

But girls in love are all detectives, and Xue Di is no exception.

From just a few words from Hyotei, she keenly sensed the change in her sister's attitude towards Lin Po.

Under persistent questioning, Hyotei had no choice but to confess her relationship with Lin Po.

This is what led to the current situation.

At this moment, Hyotei, speechless after being reprimanded, muttered in a very low voice:

"But you can't help it if you suddenly like someone."

"Bing'er."

Hearing Hyotei's mutterings, Yuki-tei felt somewhat helpless.

To say she was angry wouldn't be entirely true. After all, Xue Di didn't have the concept of monogamy either. Whether there was one more or one less, as long as Lin Po was happy, she didn't care that much.

But if it's Hyotei, then the situation is quite different.

A lesbian who had loved her for hundreds of thousands of years stole her newly acquired lover while she was in seclusion.

No one could stand that.

Another crucial question remains: when Ice Emperor is with Lin Po, is he lusting after Lin Po's body, or is he lusting after her body? Snow Emperor is truly unsure.

"Sigh, it's come to this now, and I can't interfere and separate you two."

Before he could finish speaking, Hyotei raised his head and asked excitedly:

"Xue'er, you're agreeing?!"

Seeing Hyotei's pathetic state, Yuki-tei rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"What can I do if I disagree? Things have already come to this. I can't be the bad guy, can I?"

"Haha, I knew Xue'er was the best!"

Half doting and half helpless, Xue Di patted Bing Di's head. Just as she was about to continue the topic, a soaring aura suddenly erupted from the center of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, instantly interrupting all her thoughts.

Lin Po has emerged from seclusion!
