Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 296 The Different Fates of Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing
The murmurs in the square were as faint as the buzzing of mosquitoes, but no one dared to raise their voices, for fear of angering the menacing figure standing in the center of the square.

The wind whipped up dust from the ground, sweeping past everyone's feet, carrying with it the lingering smell of blood and a chilling atmosphere.

Oscar lay on the ground, trembling all over, and not far from him lay Ma Hongjun's corpse.

"Fat..."

Oscar let out a sob, but quickly gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down.

He raised his head, his gaze piercing through the chaotic crowd and locking onto Yu Xiaolie. Almost without hesitation, he took a deep breath, used all his strength to prop himself up, and staggered toward Yu Xiaolie.

"Your Majesty, Dragon God! I beg you... I beg you to hear me out!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaolie turned his head slightly, his cold gaze falling on Oscar as if he were looking at an insignificant ant.

Oscar shuddered, but he gritted his teeth and continued crawling forward. He struggled to reach Yu Xiaolie's feet and slammed his forehead heavily on the ground with a thud.

"Your Majesty, Dragon God! I am a food-type Soul Master with innate full Soul Power! I beg you to let me join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and serve you like a slave, just please spare Ning Rongrong! She is innocent!"

An uproar immediately erupted around them.

"A food-type character with innate full soul power? This talent would make all sect leaders fight tooth and nail for it!"

"If this kid is properly trained, he will definitely be a strategic-level talent!"

"Is it worth it for a woman...?"

The whispers reached Oscar's ears, but he ignored them, staring intently at Yu Xiaolie, awaiting his fate.

Yu Xiaolie's eyes flickered slightly. Among the Shrek Seven Devils, he was only slightly interested in Oscar's talent. For the sect, his martial soul had strategic significance and he was qualified to be taken in as a dog.

Yu Xiaolie slowly raised his hand, and a blood-red light condensed at his fingertips, moving in the air like a venomous snake.

"Use your life to prove your loyalty." Yu Xiaolie's voice was devoid of any emotion.

Oscar was stunned. Before he could react, the streak of blood had already pierced his chest like lightning.

In an instant, he felt as if his heart was being gripped by an invisible hand, and the intense pain almost made him faint.

"Ah—!" Oscar screamed, curling up on the ground, his back instantly soaked with cold sweat.

The blood-red light coursed through his meridians, eventually merging into the depths of his blood. Oscar could clearly feel that his life no longer belonged to him.

If Yu Xiaolie had just one thought, he would explode and die.

“Produce a thousand large sausages every day.” Yu Xiaolie looked down at him, his tone indifferent: “If there’s one less, Ning Rongrong will die.”

The three elders of Blue Lightning, seeing this clearly, subtly curled the corners of their mouths. "A thousand sausages a day, and when we attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a month from now, this kid's sausages will greatly enhance the Blue Lightning disciples' stamina."

Oscar, enduring the pain, struggled to his feet and kowtowed heavily again, his face smeared with blood and mud: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"

Blood streamed down his forehead, blurring his vision, but a relieved smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

At least... Rongrong is safe.

For Yu Xiaolie, the real purpose of him was not to recruit Oscar into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

In his eyes, Oscar was nothing more than a slave who could produce "food".

……

On the other side, Zhu Zhuqing stood beside Dai Mubai, thinking that Oscar had successfully joined the Blue Lightning Sect with the Dragon God Douluo, and unconsciously stared intently at the group from Blue Tyrant Academy.

Especially Shui Bing'er and Dugu Yan, those two girls are about the same age as her, but they have already stood at the pinnacle of the younger generation on the mainland.

"If...if..." Zhu Zhuqing murmured unconsciously, and began to walk towards Yu Xiaolie.

Dai Mubai turned his head sharply, a hint of shock flashing in his evil eyes: "Zhu Qing, what are you doing? We are people of the Star Luo Empire!"

Zhu Zhuqing gave him a cold look and said fiercely, "What has the Star Luo Empire ever given me? What else besides endless oppression and threats to my life?"

Dai Mubai was speechless for a moment. He knew that Zhu Zhuqing, as the second daughter of the Zhu family, had lived in the shadow of her older sister since childhood and had never had a happy life.

This fiancée will most likely become a sacrifice in a family-arranged marriage because she can't beat Davis and Zhu Zhuyun. Dai Mubai wanted to dissuade her, but Zhu Zhuqing had already shaken off his hand and strode towards Yu Xiaolie.

Her back view was resolute and lonely, like a moth drawn to a flame, knowing she would be shattered to pieces, yet still going without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, Dragon God!" Zhu Zhuqing knelt on one knee, her voice clear and firm, "Zhu Zhuqing requests to join the Blue Lightning Sect!"

The entire room fell silent once again.

No one expected that while the Shrek Academy teachers were still at odds with Yu Xiaolie, Zhu Zhuqing would actually "betray" them in public!

However, Yu Xiaolie didn't even stop walking; he merely glanced at her indifferently.

In that one glance, Zhu Zhuqing felt a terrifying pressure bearing down on her like a mountain. Her knees slammed into the ground with a loud crack, the sound of bones breaking clearly audible. She tried to lift her head, but her neck felt like it was clamped in iron clamps, and she couldn't even move her fingertips an inch.

"You are not worthy." Yu Xiaolie's voice was soft, but it struck Zhu Zhuqing's heart like a heavy hammer.

Her face turned deathly pale instantly, and the hope in her eyes shattered into dust—she thought that as long as she lowered herself, with her status as the Crown Princess of Xingluo, she could at least get the protection of the Blue Lightning Sect, but she never expected that she wouldn't even have the right to be used.

Zhu Zhuqing, to put it nicely, is the Crown Princess of the Star Luo Empire, but in reality, her traditional values ​​are more base than anyone else's. Because Dai Mubai doesn't cultivate properly, she always speaks coldly to him.

In the original novel, Dai Mubai achieved great success in his cultivation and took on the appearance of a powerful figure. He immediately forgave Dai Mubai for his past misdeeds and even his feud with women and his record of killing a thousand people were no big deal.

When Dai Mubai defeated Davis and secured the throne of Xingluo, Zhu Zhuqing made no further moves and went into seclusion to be a virtuous wife and loving mother.

To put it bluntly, her greatest pursuit in life was to find a powerful man and then depend on him like a useless person.

A spineless good-for-nothing who dares to dream of joining the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan for safety?

"Your Majesty, Dragon God!"

At that moment, a loud voice broke the oppressive atmosphere.

Davis strode over, a perfectly respectful smile on his face, the Star Luo Royal Token at his waist gleaming with gold.

Behind him followed several guards from the Star Luo Empire, each carrying an exquisite jade box.

Dai Mubai was somewhat surprised, wondering what Davis was up to.
Davis didn't even glance at him, and walked straight to Yu Xiaolie. He bowed deeply, his waist bent like a bow, and said, "Davis of the Star Luo Empire, on behalf of my father, sends his greetings to His Majesty the Dragon God."

As he spoke, he gestured for the guards to open the jade box.

Inside the box was a translucent purple crystal with starlight flowing within, breathtakingly beautiful.

"This is the national treasure of the Star Luo Empire, the Purple Star Soul Crystal. Wearers can accelerate their soul power cultivation and amplify their spiritual power."

Davis smiled sincerely, "This is just a small gift, nothing more than a token of my respect. I only wish that Xingluo and Landian Sect will remain on good terms for generations to come."

A collective gasp of astonishment filled the air.

The Purple Star Soul Crystal is a legendary treasure, and the Star Luo Empire is actually willing to give it away as a gift!

"The Star Luo Empire is afraid that the Blue Lightning Sect will side with the Heavenly Dou!"

"Tian Dou is blind! Xing Luo would have been much wiser to win over the Seven Treasures Sect!"

"Could it be that Xingluo is preparing to attack... and doesn't want the Blue Lightning Sect to become an obstacle?"

"..."

Yu Xiaolie glanced at the crystal and nodded to Shui Qing'er. Shui Qing'er immediately stepped forward to take the box and nodded to Davis.

Davis was overjoyed and was about to say something when a soft, feminine voice suddenly interrupted:

"Your Holiness the Dragon God, the Pope requests that we come inside for a discussion."

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan appeared in the arena at some point, wearing his signature smile.

Davis tactfully bowed and withdrew, saying, "Your Majesty is very busy. I will visit you another day."
