Douluo Continent II: You're an evil spirit master, but also a philanthropist?

“Me too,” Dai Hao sighed. “It’s a pity he wasn’t born in Xingluo, otherwise, Xingluo would have flourished.”

Xu Jiawei said, "I even considered using Jiu Jiu to win him over."

"Your Majesty, you mustn't!" Dai Hao exclaimed, his eyes wide. "He is an absolute hardliner of the Sun Moon Empire. Even if we send Her Highness the Princess, it will surely be a wasted effort!"

Xu Jiawei sighed softly: "Yes, of course I know, but his potential really gives me a glimmer of hope. If given time, reaching level 99 Limit Douluo is inevitable, and that unattainable, even legendary godhood, may not be impossible."

Dai Hao: "..."

Xu Jiawei shook his head: "Forget it, forget it. After the competition ends and we detain him, perhaps it will be the fall of a genius..."

But to be honest, if a marriage alliance were possible, he would be willing to take any risks...

After all, the Sun Moon Empire is on a roll, and even if Xu Cheng is detained, it will probably be difficult to change the course of history; at most, it will only delay things...

……

Shrek Academy.

Poseidon Pavilion.

"What? Shrek Academy...lost?!?"

Old Song angrily retorted.

"The honor of Shrek Academy rests on their shoulders. We trusted them so much, and we lost like this? Losing is bad enough, but we were in the top sixteen! Top sixteen! In my entire life, I have never seen or heard of such a humiliating result for Shrek Academy."

"Shameful! So shameful!"

Yan Shaozhe silently lowered his head.

Everyone was silent.

After all, being eliminated in the round of 16 was something no one could have predicted.

According to their estimates, with the Flower of Life given by Xingluo Wang Xian'er, and led by the two Soul Emperors, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, even without Gongyang Mo and his team, they should have more than enough to squeeze into the top four, or even the finals...

When this result was announced at the meeting, everyone was stunned.

Moon spoke slowly.

"According to the message Wang Yan sent back, we encountered the Sun Moon Empire in the sixteenth round. During the team battle, Ma Xiaotao's evil fire was hooked by a sword of the Sun Moon Empire, but it was suppressed by Xu Cheng. Although we lost this battle, Xiaotao benefited from the misfortune and reached the peak of her strength."

"Could it be that it can completely suppress Xiao Tao's evil fire?" Old Lin asked in surprise.

"That's right, it's the Ultimate Ice. It's said that when that child released his martial soul, Cheng Gang, the guardian of the Star Luo Empire, came knocking on his door, mistaking it for a soul beast taking human form. But somehow, he was mind-controlled by it, and the entire hotel's battle teams found out about it..."

"Control Cheng Gang? Isn't Cheng Gang a Title Douluo?" Old Song exclaimed in astonishment.

"On the very day that Xiao Tao recovered her strength and returned to her peak condition, he defeated her solely with the help of a soul tool."

Moon's voice was calm, as if he knew all of this by heart.

"..."

A moment of silence fell over everyone again.

This isn't a human, it's a monster!

"This is the honor we're so proud of." Mu En looked at Yan Shaozhe beside him. "The so-called pride of the Martial Soul system—this young man has shown us with his actions that weakness is weakness, don't make excuses..."

"Such a genius is probably one in ten thousand years," Yan Shaozhe muttered to himself.

"Alas, this is a once-in-a-millennium event, which makes me increasingly aware that something terrible is about to happen," Mu En sighed to the heavens.

"Teacher, don't worry. Elder Xuan has already contacted us. Naturally, the Star Luo Emperor is not at ease with such a genius and plans to detain him when the competition ends. He intends to take advantage of the chaos and kidnap Xu Cheng to Shrek Academy." Yan Shaozhe chuckled.

No matter what kind of genius, they all seem to have a connection with Shrek Academy!

"..."

Old Master Mu shook his head slightly.

This startled everyone present.

"Elder Mu, what do you mean..." Yan Shaozhe asked nervously.

"I have no opinion."

Moon smiled.

But he sighed inwardly.

In his eyes, this young man named Xu Cheng was no fool. He was not only powerful but also incredibly shrewd. The fact that he was able to go to the Star Luo Empire to participate in the competition proved that he was absolutely certain he could leave the Star Luo capital...

Although he didn't know, he was quite curious.

What is it?

……

Inside the hotel.

While the people of the Sun and Moon Empire were resting.

An uninvited guest arrived.

"Your Highness, what brings you here?" Ma Rulong frowned slightly, but still received the princess who had come late at night.

"Xu Cheng and I have something to discuss." Xu Jiujiu looked around and then fixed his gaze on Xu Cheng.

"Looking for me?" Xu Cheng frowned. "Your Highness, there are some things you can say directly."

"No, go to the room." Xu Jiujiu's pretty face flushed slightly, but her expression remained resolute.

"Go back to the room?" Xiao Hongchen's eyes widened.

Does this mean my sister has gained another rival in love?

Xu Cheng's lips twitched.

No, I'm going, why are you blushing? People who don't know better might think we're having an affair.

……

Inside Xu Cheng's room.

Xu Jiujiu sat dignifiedly on the bed, looked at Xu Cheng solemnly and said, "Actually... I came here this time to propose marriage to you."

Xu Cheng: ? ? ?

"Could you please explain in more detail?"

After a long while, her pretty face flushed red, and even her usual princess-like, proud aura, like that of a white swan, froze for a moment.

She took a deep breath.

"We are both from royal families, though we live in different empires, but..."

Chapter 116 The So-Called Beauty Trap: The Final Round Begins.

"As an imperial princess, I cannot choose my own partner. I am bound by interests and will have to wait a few years until, at the behest of my brother, marry a stranger, have children, and then... spend the rest of my life." Xu Jiujiu pursed her red lips.

"But now, I've met you..."

"But tonight seems to be the first time we've actually talked?" Xu Cheng frowned.

What is this? A honey trap?

Even if it's a honey trap, isn't this too perfunctory?

"I only like strong people. Your strength has far exceeded my expectations. At least... I don't dislike you."

“My brother values ​​you highly. He would certainly be willing to marry me to you. As for me, I would probably only have one chance in my life to choose my own husband, one that I like.”

She spoke softly after a long while.

She sounded like she was reciting lines, yet it also sounded like she was speaking from the heart.

"If I marry you, I don't care if you have other women. I will do everything in my power to help you rise to the top and manage your harem. I won't be like other women who fight for your favor. I will be a good wife and mother. Even if I marry into the Sun Moon Empire and never come home, it's fine."

Xu Cheng: “…”

She stared at him with bright eyes, her beautiful eyes full of expectation.

He frowned. It seemed like... this was for real?

"What if I don't agree?"

Xu Cheng pondered for a moment.

"You'll regret this," Xu Jiujiu said.

The two looked at each other.

After a long while, Xu Cheng slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

A hint of understanding appeared in his eyes.

A sense of relief appeared in Xu Jiujiu's eyes.

I finally said it.

"If everything goes as usual, how will your brother treat me after the competition?" Xu Cheng smiled.

"Household annexation," Xu Jiujiu said simply.
