Douluo Continent: Protector Qian Renxue, Martial Soul: Dark Demon Dragon

Chapter 40 Feigned Submission to Dugu Bo

Dugu Bo watched Lin Xiao on the black dragon's head with extreme vigilance. He had nowhere to escape and was waiting for the other party to make the first move. However, judging from the other party's appearance, he had no intention of making a move at all. He was confused and felt extremely tormented.

Lin Xiao looked calmly at Dugu Bo, a slight smile playing on his lips, and silently said in his mind, "System, accept the mission."

[Congratulations, host, on accepting the mission. The mission reward has been issued.] The system's voice continued to echo in Lin Xiao's mind.

As Lin Xiao accepted the mission, the system's rewards were instantly distributed. At the same time, the method of using the enslavement mark appeared in Lin Xiao's mind. Unfortunately, the enslavement mark could only be used on Dugu Bo and could not be used on other titled Douluo. Otherwise, he would have had a lot more room to maneuver.

"Dugu Bo, I can give you a chance to live, but you need to submit to us. What do you say? Don't even think about pretending to submit. With our abilities, we can find you anywhere, in the sky or on the ground!" Lin Xiao said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback. Surrender? Surrender would allow him to live?

He would inevitably choose to submit, even if it's just verbal submission. If given the chance, he would leave the Heaven Dou Empire with his granddaughter. As a Title Douluo, what place can't he go? If he hides, it will be impossible for the other side to find him!

"Hehe~ I am only surrendering now because of the circumstances. When I have the opportunity to take Yan Yan away from this place of trouble, they will look for me anywhere in the world. How ridiculous, how utterly ridiculous! With my abilities, I can hide completely and they will find me. It is impossible!" Dugu Bo thought to himself.

He, Dugu Bo, has always been free and unrestrained. How could he possibly submit to anyone, especially someone who wants to kill him? His current submission is nothing but a pretense!

"If... if I really choose to submit to you and serve you, will you truly let me go?!" Dugu Bo asked, to prevent the other party from having second thoughts.

"Of course, if Poison Douluo chooses to submit to us and serve us, we will naturally not treat him unfairly. Of course, if Poison Douluo is only pretending to submit, then he will die a terrible death!" Lin Xiao said with a slight smile.

Although Lin Xiao said this with a smile, Dugu Bo could feel a deep chill in his words, as if if he was only pretending to submit, he would really die a terrible death!

"Very well. I choose to submit to you, and I hope you will not go back on your word. However, it will take time for me to completely submit to you, and I hope you will not mind during this period," Dugu Bo said.

"sure."

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiao dispersed the ten black dragons surrounding Dugu Bo, but he did not remove the crimson barrier. Otherwise, if Dugu Bo seized the opportunity to escape, although he had the ability to catch him, there would be unnecessary trouble.

As the black dragon around him gradually dissipated, Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief. A barely perceptible hint of mockery flashed in his eyes as he looked at Lin Xiao. What does verbal submission mean?

Can the other party force me to do something?

"I hope you won't go back on your word!" Dugu Bo said with a smile, feeling as if he had survived a calamity. He then dissipated his Azure Serpent Emperor Martial Soul and slowly landed on the ground, watching Lin Xiao and the other person.

"Of course not." After saying that, Lin Xiao ordered the black dragon to slowly land on the ground. The two of them leaped up and landed slowly on the ground from the black dragon's head, taking light steps towards Dugu Bo's position.

"Dugu Bo, to be honest, I am not willing to let you go so easily. Just now, you almost unleashed your killing intent towards us. We should not let you go. But now, you have chosen to submit to us and you can live. If you dare to have any evil intentions, you will die a terrible death!" Qian Renxue's face was as cold as frost, and her tone was icy.

Actually, she was not really willing to let Dugu Bo go. Although Dugu Bo had expressed his willingness to submit to them, what did verbal submission mean?

Dugu Bo verbally submitted to them, but once they left, if Dugu Bo wanted to escape and completely hide, finding them would not be an easy task. Moreover, Dugu Bo knew their character well enough to know that they would never submit to anyone!

But now, her brother Lin Xiao has the means to control Dugu Bo. If the other party dares to have any evil intentions, he will explode and die. From then on, he can only truly submit to them and serve them!

Otherwise, even if her brother Lin Xiao insisted on letting Dugu Bo go, she would not agree. Keeping Dugu Bo alive was a potential danger. Who knew when he might betray them and cause them incalculable losses!

"Rest assured, both of you. Since I, Dugu Bo, have already said that I will submit to you and serve you, there is naturally no possibility of betrayal. I, Dugu Bo, still have that much credibility!" Dugu Bo said with a smile.

Qian Renxue frowned slightly. What kind of credibility did Dugu Bo have? Wasn't credibility something to be discarded? She believed that Dugu Bo was capable of feigning submission.

Lin Xiao, his expression cold, slowly walked up to Dugu Bo and said, "Dugu Bo, we cannot trust your credibility. Mere verbal submission has no value whatsoever. Therefore, Dugu Bo..."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo felt a chill run down his spine. Verbal submission wasn't enough; did the other party have some other way to force him to submit? How could there possibly be a way to restrict a Title Douluo in this world?

There might be limitations for ordinary Soul Masters, but those methods are completely ineffective when facing a Title Douluo with powerful mental strength.

"Since you don't trust Dugu Bo, how can you gain his trust?" Dugu Bo asked. There was nothing he could do about the other party's distrust; the situation was beyond his control.

"If you want to live, I have a way to control a Title Douluo. If you dare to have any evil intentions, you will explode and die. I wonder if you can accept that?" Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Huh?" Dugu Bo's eyes widened in disbelief. He didn't believe such a method existed, so he laughed, "If you truly possess it, then use it on Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo won't resist!"

Seeing Dugu Bo's generous demeanor, Lin Xiao's lips curled up slightly. He wondered what Dugu Bo's expression would be after the enslavement was successful.

"Come on, sir. No matter what method you use, Dugu Bo will not resist!" Dugu Bo put his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent.
