Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 298 Retreat
An ordinary yet exciting morning meeting came to an end, and naturally, some were happy while others were sad.

Without a doubt, the happiest people were the new disciples of the Holy Sect who joined the Sun and Moon Dynasty along with Wu Yun.

Having long since settled into the normal lives of Soul Masters, they have always been thinking about what they can do for the Holy Son to repay his kindness.

However, the Holy Son is powerful and intelligent, and he has several Super Douluo under his command, not to mention Limit Douluo.

Therefore, there is no need to use the meager power of these otherworldly soul masters.

Now that Wuyun Douluo has finally secured this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they must do their utmost to do it well and eliminate all obstacles in the process.

In contrast, the other ministers looked worried and gathered in twos and threes to discuss how to deal with the difficulties ahead.

Unfortunately, the presence of three titled Douluo from the state religion and the Empress's overt full support made it impossible for them to come up with a solution.

This situation not only made the ministers, who had been obsessed with power for many years, feel powerless once again, but also made them realize the importance of strength.

Therefore, those who were eager to improve their family's strength immediately set their sights on the group of Douluo Soul Masters who had traveled to Mingdu.

Various forms of enticement and seduction emerged one after another, greatly relieving the pressure on the Moon Soul Guards and the Otherworldly Soul Masters.

And all that was happening in Mingdu in private was exactly what Empress Yuehun had thought.

Rather than passively obeying orders and then disobeying them, it's better to let these officials, who crave power and wealth, take matters into their own hands.

It's unlikely that any blind official would do anything they shouldn't.

Meanwhile, in the Emperor's Mansion, which has once again changed its name but not its location, its master is entrusting the young girls with important matters before their seclusion.

"I will be in seclusion for a long time to come, so there are some things that need to be arranged in advance."

Looking around at Meng Hongchen and the others, who were sitting upright and looking serious, Lin Po couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

This time, thankfully, he didn't cause any trouble when he came back.

No matter how much he pampers them, he can't stand it if it happens too often.

"First of all, it's about cultivation. You must not slack off while I'm away. Sister Lexuan will supervise you."

"In addition, you have now completed the condensation of the Soul Crystal. From now on, you can continue to cultivate around the Soul Crystal system. As long as you follow the method I gave you honestly, you will not have any detours before becoming a Title Douluo."

"Of course, I will also help you solve the problem of not being able to reach a higher level because of your young age."

With that, Lin Po waved his hand, and five small and exquisite storage soul tools flew towards Meng Hongchen and the others.

"The soul tools contain high-age soul bones that match your martial souls and attributes. They were all carefully selected by me as a gift for you."

Reaching out to catch the soul tool that floated towards them, Meng Hongchen, Xiao Xiao, and Di Lingxi were fine; having a close relationship with Lin Po, they accepted it without any hesitation.

But Ling Luochen and Ning Tian couldn't sit still.

At this moment, the two women, who had enjoyed all the benefits but had not made any contribution, were holding their storage soul tools with trepidation, not daring to make the slightest move.

Finally, Ning Tian mustered his courage and cautiously asked:
"My lord... if I'm not mistaken, there should be three top-grade soul bones here, each over 50,000 years old. Isn't it a bit too hasty to just give them to me and Sister Luo Chen like this?"

However, before Lin Po could explain, Meng Hongchen took the initiative and snatched it away.

Under the horrified gazes of the two women, he quickly stuffed the soul tool containing the soul bone into their pockets.

"Since it was given to you by Brother Lin Po, just accept it and stop talking nonsense! You can always repay him properly in the future!"

"Besides, what we gave you two were only ten-thousand-year-old soul bones, while the three of us have one-hundred-thousand-year-old soul bones."

"It's several levels below!"

Ling Luochen and Ning Tian: "."

The boss is so generous! The boss's wife is so magnanimous! They just give away top-grade ten-thousand-year-old soul bones like that, and they're not happy if they don't accept them!
"Thank you, Lord."

As the heir of a powerful family, Ning Tian quickly changed his mindset after hearing Meng Hongchen's words of comfort.

After thanking him, he secretly rubbed the storage soul tool in his pocket, seemingly lost in thought.

Ling Luochen also bowed his head in thanks, then sat back down, his expression changing repeatedly.

It's obvious that he's thinking of something strange.

'Wow, Ruoruo-jie has infected even that fake ice block Ling Luochen?! Xiaomeng and Xiaoxiao are much better off; they haven't shown any abnormalities so far.'

Thinking of this, Lin Po shifted his gaze to Meng Hongchen and the other two women, and immediately received two sweet smiles in return.

As for why there are two paths?

The blonde girl's smile, revealing a set of big white teeth and two small fangs, was anything but sweet. "Hey, Lingxi, you're a grown woman now. Don't smile so boldly; I can see your gums."

Upon hearing this, Di Lingxi immediately became unhappy and pounced on Lin Po, hanging herself on him.

"Lin Po! I haven't even gone home since I started following you! And now you're actually looking down on me! That's too much!"

"Damn it, be reasonable! When have I ever complained about you?! Besides, isn't your reason for not going home because you don't want to?! How many times has Na'er tried to take you into the spirit world, and you either throw a tantrum or roll around on the ground!"

Overwhelmed by anger, the girl's mind went blank, and she blurted out:
"Ha! Let's be reasonable! I'm here to date you, not to reason with you!"

"Huh? What? Say that again, you little brat?"

Upon noticing the unusual words, Lin Po immediately stopped resisting and stared in surprise at the girl, whose face was now flushed.

"What are you saying! If I didn't like you, I'd be so bored as to transform into human form and follow you to the human world!"

Why didn't you say so before?

"I want to too! But have you ever given me a chance? Ever since we settled down in Mingdu, you've either been running around outside or going back to the Spirit Realm for seclusion!"

"In the few times we've met, you've focused more of your attention on Sister Na'er! What am I supposed to say about that!"

"Ah this."

Upon hearing this, Lin Po was speechless.

That makes sense, and he certainly wasn't in the right.

Looking at Di Lingxi, whose beautiful eyes were red and whose face was full of grievance, Lin Po couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm sorry, I didn't consider your feelings."

Before she finished speaking, the girl's grievances vanished, replaced by a face full of resentment.

"Hmph! I know you're busy, so I don't blame you! If anyone's to blame, it's Sister Na'er! If she had taken me with her last time she went out, I would have already taken you!"

Meng Hongchen and Xiaoxiao: "Pfft~"

Ling Luochen and Ning Tian: "?"

Lin Po: “.”

"Di Lingxi! Shut up! Sit still! I haven't finished making arrangements yet!"

After a chaotic scene, the blonde girl sat on the sofa, rubbing the large bump on her head and grinning foolishly.

It is clear that he was infected with the same virus as Ling Luochen.

"Ahem! Let's skip the past and continue."

"Oh well, Sister Lexuan knows, she'll take care of it."

After being annoyed by Di Lingxi, Lin Po instantly lost the desire to continue and had no choice but to skip to the last item.

"Let's get straight to the last point, which is also the most crucial one!"

“Your three-word battle armor is almost finished. I know you’re eager to test your skills.”

"But! Never follow your sister Vina's example! Battle armor is for you to enhance your own strength, not for you to fight in close combat!"

"I am proud that a princess of the empire is personally leading the battle against the Spirit Realm, but I am not relying on my three-word battle armor to engage in close combat with a Title Douluo!"

"I don't know who gave her this idea! If I find out, I'll definitely teach her a lesson!"

Three girls: Wow, I didn't have this idea before, but now I do!
Seeing this, Lin Po continued to ramble on for a long time, fearing that something might happen to them.

It wasn't until late in the day, when Zhang Lexuan, who had heard about the matter, returned to the Emperor's residence from the palace, that he stopped talking, shaking his head and chuckling.

Fine, let them do whatever they want.

With Sister Lexuan and Grandpa Kong protecting us, nothing bad will happen.

Not everyone is like Xuanzi, unable to protect the younger generation.

The following day, Emperor Yuehun announced his formal seclusion to attempt to reach the ultimate realm.

On the same day, Empress Yuehun announced to the world that three months later, her army would besiege the Douluo Continent.
