Douluo Continent: Transmigrating to the Star Palace of Yuhao

Chapter 213 You are not Dai Huabin

This was probably the first time that the eyes of these two men, nominally father and son but actually enemies, had met.

Huo Yuhao coldly stared back at the man who had never taken any responsibility for his mother or himself, showing no emotion whatsoever, only calm and indifference. He was not yet powerful enough to openly and legitimately reclaim everything for his birth mother, Huo Yun'er, and naturally had no interest in deliberately going to her door to cause a scene.

Previously, they had dug quite a few pits for the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, directly or indirectly, enough to give Dai Hao and the Duchess a lot of trouble.

He only needs to develop slowly, like a venomous snake lying in wait, and wait for the final opportunity.

Huo Yuhao didn't waste too much time on Dai Hao; he quickly went to help Ling Luochen thaw the other members of the Douling team.

For him, these things were far more important than Dai Hao.

Dai Hao frowned and remained silent for a long time.

Xu Jiawei smiled meaningfully, "It seems that the trouble your two good sons caused hasn't been properly cleaned up yet. The person involved is still holding a grudge. In my opinion, you should take some time to visit Shrek Academy and offer some apologies. It would be a real pity to end this friendship that has lasted for thousands of years."

"Your Majesty is right. I will make time to go there when I have some free time."

"How about after the competition? I'm planning to go there anyway, you can come with me."

Dai Hao paused for a moment, then looked at Xu Jiawei, "Is His Majesty also going to Shrek Academy?"

"The Sun Moon Empire is ambitious, and we Star Luo must make plans early. If they are ready to launch an invasion, we will inevitably be the first to be hit. Of all the forces, the only one who can support us at that time is Shrek Academy."

How could Dai Hao not know what Xu Jiawei had said? As the marshal of the Northwest Army Group, he was naturally well aware of it.

"Your Majesty's words are true, and I am aware of them. The Sun and Moon Empire is indeed a great threat to our empire..."

'

Xu Jiawei suddenly reached out and patted Dai Hao's shoulder a few times, saying, "At noon, you can have lunch with me in the palace."

Upon hearing this, Dai Hao quickly stepped back a few paces, knelt on one knee, and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you."

Xu Jiawei helped Dai Hao up and said, "Our relationship as ruler and subject doesn't need to be so formal. Just treat it as a family dinner. The Shrek Academy competition is over now, so come with me. There's also the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy competition this afternoon."

With that, Xu Jiawei got up and left the imperial city, and Dai Hao respectfully followed him...

The White Tiger Duke's Mansion, inner palace and inner quarters.

Since Dai Hao asked the three of them to come together last time, Dai Huabin has been living in the main room with the Duchess and one of her maids.

Having had no opportunity to escalate the conflict between him and Dai Yueheng, Dai Huabin had been relatively well-behaved these days. After Dai Hongming's death, he had been helping another uncle manage the clan property. Today was no exception; Dai Huabin had specifically brought the accounts that needed his help to compile to the main house.

He sat in the chair, carefully reviewing the documents on the desk.

"Knock knock. Young master, it's time for lunch. Madam is waiting for you."

Upon hearing this, Dai Huabin put down the accounts in his hand and said, "I'll change my clothes and then go."

"Yes, young master."

The maid relayed the Duchess's message and immediately turned to report. But as she turned back, a flash of silver light appeared, a rift opened in the void, and a large hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her throat!

The incident happened so suddenly that the maid had no idea what was going on. The large hand was incredibly strong; how could an ordinary person like her break free? She tried to pry the large hand open with both hands, and even tried to shout out with all her might, but Dai Yueheng didn't give her a chance at all.

"Stop struggling, why not just die obediently?" Dai Yueheng's voice, transmitted through his soul power, reached the maid's ears. Dai Yueheng's tall and imposing figure slowly emerged from the rift, and that incredibly familiar face appeared before the maid's eyes...

A sudden realization exploded in her mind, and fear and despair instantly appeared on her face. With her last bit of strength, she struggled twice, her slender legs kicking weakly at Dai Yueheng, like an ant trying to shake a tree...

Dai Yueheng grinned wickedly as he pulled the maid close to him as if she were a chick.

He gently sniffed the maid's scent, a look of delighted anticipation on his face. "What a pity, I don't have time right now. Otherwise, I would definitely savor your taste."

As he spoke, he flicked out a sharp blade with his left index finger, slicing a gash into the maid's body as smoothly as a hot knife cutting through butter. But inexplicably, no blood flowed from the wound.

Upon closer inspection, one can see that the maid's cut skin is rapidly aging and drying out, and from where the sharp blade was submerged in the maid's body, faint traces of blood are seen flowing back into Dai Yueheng's body.

Yes, this is the manifestation of Dai Yueheng devouring life through the Evil Tiger Arm.

In just a few minutes, the maid's eyes had completely dimmed, and she had become a dried-up corpse.

Dai Yueheng shook his head with immense satisfaction. If he weren't afraid of attracting those titled Douluo, he probably would have already let out a long roar.

After devouring the entire maid, Dai Yueheng tossed her to the ground as if she were a rag doll.

The dried-up corpse gently collided with the bricks and stones, instantly turning into ashes.

Dai Yueheng stretched out his hands, simultaneously ejecting ten sharp blades. He strode forward to the wooden door and, without the slightest hesitation, shoved it open!

"Bang!"

Dai Huabin tilted his head and looked at Dai Yueheng, who had suddenly rushed in. He was somewhat surprised, but not astonished.

"I never imagined you'd end up like this. But it's alright. It's all the same anyway."

Seeing Dai Huabin so calm, Dai Yueheng was completely bewildered.

"What do you mean, Dai Huabin! Don't you know you'll die by my hand today?"

Although he desperately wanted to devour Dai Huabin and run away, the current situation made Dai Yueheng uneasy. It was as if some venomous snake was watching him from behind his younger brother.

"It doesn't mean anything. You and I are just pawns. The fate of pawns is ultimately the same. Although your current outcome is quite different from what I expected, overall, it has achieved my initial goal. The mission is complete. Whether you die at your hands or at someone else's, it's all the same."

Upon hearing Dai Huabin's words, Dai Yueheng's previously boiling blood instantly cooled down. How could he not guess at this point?

He pointed at Dai Huabin, utterly terrified, and exclaimed, "You're not Dai Huabin! Who are you?"
