Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 281 Whimsical
Seeing Wang Dong'er's silent expression, Lin Po sighed inwardly.

A sense of guilt welled up in my heart.

It seems we've had it all too easy for too long.

How could someone have such delusional thoughts about something so cruel to an innocent young girl!

Even though Da Ming and Er Ming did something wrong first, they were still her only two relatives who accompanied her throughout her childhood.

Given this girl's sentimental nature, it would be absolutely impossible for her to give up on a relationship she's had for so many years so easily.

Of course, Wang Dong'er's current reaction was exactly what Lin Po had expected.

If Wang Dong'er agrees without hesitation, then that would just prove that Lin Po had misjudged her from the start.

Just as he was about to offer some words of comfort and explain his original plans, Wang Dong'er suddenly raised her head, her gaze becoming unusually firm.

"Brother Lin, you must have some way to save Da Ming and Er Ming's lives after absorbing their soul rings, right?"

These words stunned everyone present.

So all that time this girl spent thinking wasn't about whether or not to cooperate with Lin Po in hunting those two soul beasts!

However, this is for the best. Rather than pleading for those two soul beasts and offending Lin Po, it is a win-win solution to actively consider their future.

At least Wang Dong'er doesn't have to be caught between gratitude and family ties at such a young age, and fall into an even more painful choice.

It seems Lin Po had considered this matter long ago.

"Dong'er, do you really believe I have a way to save their lives while successfully obtaining their soul rings and soul bones?"

Before she finished speaking, Wang Dong'er nodded repeatedly, her slightly disheveled hair flying in the air.

At the same time, his tone became very confident.

"certainly!
Knowing your character, Brother Lin, you would never discuss this matter with me without any prior preparation!

"Although you are usually very strict with us, somewhat unapproachable, and don't seem very easy to talk to."

But I can sense that Brother Lin is the kind of person who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside, so I believe you must have the best solution!

Lin Po: “.”

Kong Deming\Jing Hongchen: "."

Did this girl go crazy from blacksmithing, or did she get hit on the head with a hammer?
Is Lin Xiaozi tough on the outside but soft on the inside?!

Where did Rou go?!
Forget about being gentle, I don't even have many close friends!
Aside from Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo who were present, and the girls still in seclusion in the Regent's Palace, who else did he care about?!
At most, add one more Zhongliwu.

No matter what, he was a teacher who had taught him for many years, and the bond between teacher and student was undeniable, something that others simply couldn't match.

Even Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen only won his favor from the beginning because of their respective granddaughters and great-granddaughters.

That's why, in their daily interactions, the two old men had to go along with him and appease him.

I was afraid that if I did something wrong, I would provoke him and make him flip the table and stop playing with them.

As for the others, excluding those who can be ignored, there are at least eight or ten thousand who died directly or indirectly at his hands.

This doesn't even include those on the mainland who died due to the butterfly effect.

If you add them all up, it would be comparable to the total population of a medium-sized city.

So you're saying he's gentle-hearted?
Which theory are you referring to?
Even if this jinx gave you a new life and helped you find a boyfriend, you can't just lie through your teeth!

On the other hand, Lin Po, who was receiving such praise for the first time in his life, was also very puzzled as to why Wang Dong'er would give such an outrageous evaluation.

After pondering for a few seconds without reaching a conclusion, he had no choice but to continue speaking along the lines of the previous paragraph.

"Ahem, I do have a way to obtain spirit rings while saving their lives, but the price is that they can no longer live in Douluo Continent and must obey my orders."

"So? Is it acceptable?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er was overjoyed and agreed on the spot without even asking about the specific price Lin Po mentioned.

"No problem! As long as they both live, that's all that matters. We're in such a hurry right now, we can't worry about anything else!"

However, before she could be excited for long, she suddenly recalled some memories from her childhood.

He immediately inquired.

"But... Brother Lin, can you beat my eldest and second uncles? I'm not entirely sure about their strength, but if they can communicate with the God Realm, they can't be weak, right?"

"Don't worry, their strength is at most that of priests, nothing to worry about. Moreover, in order to avoid being discovered by the God Realm when they sneak down to the mortal world, their strength on the Douluo Continent is extremely limited."

Hearing Wang Dong'er's worries, Lin Po waved his hand dismissively.

He doesn't really take those two weak priests seriously right now.

Xiao Yuan and Gu Yuena didn't even need to lift a finger.

Even these four-word battle armor soul masters from the Sun Moon Empire, plus the few Limit Douluos under their command, are enough to give them a run for their money.

At this point, Wang Dong'er, who already unconditionally and completely trusted Lin Po, naturally had no further objections.

He readily took out a sea-blue crystal and handed it to Lin Po.

"Brother Lin, here! This was given to me by my eldest and second uncles. They said that if I crush it when I'm in danger, they will arrive as quickly as possible."

"I wonder if this suits your taste?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Po reached out and took the sea-blue crystal. With just a glance, he knew its composition and purpose.

This thing looks exquisitely crafted, but it's actually just a piece of marine mineral with a small amount of Poseidon's divine power added.

Even the pitifully small amount of Poseidon's divine power was only used once to transmit messages; once it was used up, it was gone.

I really don't know what Tang San was thinking.

A father who doesn't provide any proactive protective measures for his daughter when she's out in public is truly unworthy of being a father.

With that thought, Lin Po put the sea-blue crystal into his soul tool and nodded in satisfaction.

“Very good. As long as we can get them both here, everything else will be easy to handle. The only problem is that they are hiding in the Haotian Sect and won’t come out.”

"No matter what, my eldest and second uncles still care about me. If I'm in danger, they will definitely come!"

Wang Dong'er made a solemn promise, then turned around and pleaded with a hopeful tone:

"Brother Lin, when you're dealing with my uncles, could you take me with you?"

"If I can persuade them, can we avoid a major war?"

After listening, Lin Po remained silent for a long time before finally nodding in agreement.

"Alright, I'll take you with me then."

The young girl, still in her teens, was far too inexperienced and had not considered the positions of Da Ming and Er Ming at all.

Having been suppressed by Tang San for many years, the two soul beasts had long lost their wildness from their days in the Star Dou Great Forest and had become Tang family livestock.

Therefore, Lin Po did not have high hopes for the girl's naive idea, and treated it as a backup plan.

What if it happens.

"Alright, let's put this matter aside for now and talk about it after everything is arranged. Next, let's talk about your second martial soul."

As he spoke, Lin Po took out the greatsword that exuded boundless coldness from his spatial storage and presented it to Wang Dong'er with both hands.

"This sword is named 'Frostmourne'. Its weight and sharpness are among the best in the world. Its ice attribute is close to the extreme. It also has the ability to control the undead scourge."

"When these factors are combined, few martial spirits in the world can compare with it."

"How about it? Isn't it much stronger than the Clear Sky Hammer?"

Wang Dong'er stared at the bizarrely shaped greatsword with utter disbelief, and instinctively exclaimed in surprise:

"Brother Lin, is this really for me?! Isn't it incredibly precious?!"

"Fortunately, I can't just let you get away with something I promised you."

"And I really want to see you use this sword to stab Tang San in the waist."

The girl was not at all dissatisfied with his undisguised desire.

After all, in her eyes, the sea god who could ruthlessly split his daughter's soul and arbitrarily control her life was not a father at all.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to Brother Lin! But how do I transform it into my martial soul? Do I have to stab myself? Hmm, that sounds like the kind of perverse humor Brother Lin would have!"

For a moment, Wang Dong'er's mind was filled with wild ideas.
