Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 441 I'm going to have Yuhao lock you in the basement

At the same time, Wang Dong'er, led by Ning Rongrong, arrived at the prison where Xiao Wu was being held.

Looking at the beautiful figure who had just smiled and said goodbye to her not long ago, but now looked extremely lost and dejected, Wang Dong'er's expression was complicated for a moment. However, before she could speak, Dai Mubai's surprised voice came from the next cell.

"Rongrong!? You're not dead!?"

He gripped the fence in disbelief, straining to stick his head out, his face filled with unprecedented excitement.

"Was it the mistress who rescued you?! Has he already resolved everything in the lower realm? What about Zhu Qing? Didn't she come back with you? What's going on outside?"

After asking himself a series of questions, he noticed Wang Dong'er standing next to Ning Rongrong. After a brief moment of surprise, his face lit up with delight once again.

"You're Xiao Qi? I didn't expect you to be back in the God Realm too! Quick, let me out! I'm your Uncle Dai!"

However, Wang Dong'er acted as if she hadn't heard his call, not even glancing at him. Even Ning Rongrong, who was standing next to him, only gave him a cold glance.

The two's indifferent reactions made Dai Mubai's expression stiffen, and a bad premonition immediately welled up in his heart.

Just as he was about to press for more information, Xiao Wu, who had been silent for a long time in the next cell, finally reacted.

"Dong'er, you've come."

She tried to force a smile at the girl in front of her, but the numbness and sorrow in her heart made even such a simple action difficult for her.

"Um."

Wang Dong'er responded softly, looking at the other person's expression but not knowing what to say.

After a long while, she slowly asked the question.

"How are you?"

"I'm fine."

Xiao Wu couldn't help but lower her eyes: "I'm sorry, if only I had discovered it sooner..."

Wang Dong'er shook her head: "You don't need to apologize for his mistakes."

"What protects you will also limit you. A towering tree can shelter you from the wind and rain, but it can also keep you from seeing the light of day. At least when it comes to you, it can be said to have done its best."

She paused for a moment, then pressed on, "I want to know, what are your plans next?"

"I...I don't know"

Xiao Wu lowered her head dejectedly: "I don't intend to stop you, nor do I have the ability, but I can't accept him leaving me, so..."

"And what about me?"

Although the second half of the sentence was not spoken, Wang Dong'er clearly understood what she meant and couldn't help but interrupt, her voice choked with emotion, asking word by word.

"So, you're planning to abandon me again, is that it?"

Crystalline tears slid down her cheeks, but the girl didn't bother to wipe them away. She just stared at her mother and asked her a question.

"My eldest and second uncles are already dead, and now even you are planning to leave me. Must I be left without a single relative in this world?"

"."

Xiao Wu trembled all over, as if a thousand words were stuck in her throat, and she could not utter a single one.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry"

Gradually, perhaps unable to withstand Wang Dong'er's sharp gaze, she buried her head in her arms, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, emitting painful whimpers.

"I... I just... I just don't know what to do. I really don't know."

"Since you don't know what to do, you might as well listen to me."

Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Wang Dong'er seemed like a different person, looking down indifferently at Xiao Wu, who was curled up in a ball, and said as if making a declaration.

"Your daughter is neither generous nor magnanimous. Although you know nothing about what Tang San and my two uncles did to me, I do not intend to let you off so easily."

"Since I have lost my memories of my childhood and the love my parents gave me, I will take it all back from you."

As if revealing her childlike, wicked, and greedy nature, she met Xiao Wu's astonished gaze, her voice arrogant and unquestionable.

"I want you to give me all the love you will give me for the rest of your life. I want you to stay by my side forever, watch me get married and have children, and live a happy life with me."

"This is everything I pursue, the meaning of my existence, and the bottom line that I cannot compromise on. Therefore, I do not intend to give you the right to refuse."

"If you don't agree, I will ask Yuhao to lock you in the basement, put shackles on your limbs and even around your neck, and use every means at my disposal until you agree, until you can no longer live without me."

"Achoo—!"

For no apparent reason, Huo Yuhao, who was far away under the Tree of Life, suddenly sneezed.

This sudden commotion naturally startled the God of Destruction who was standing nearby.

"What happened? Something's wrong?"

"Maybe."

Huo Yuhao rubbed his itchy nose, looking somewhat bewildered, and muttered something in a subtle tone.

"I have a feeling that something terrible has happened somewhere I don't know about."

The perspective shifts back to the prison corridor. After stating her thoughts in one breath, Wang Dong'er paused for a moment and made a final addition.

"After all, this is what you owe me."

"."

Xiao Wu fell silent. Her already not-so-bright mind seemed to be overloaded at this moment, and she fell into a deep state of confusion.

Oh no, her worst fears have come true.

Spending too much time with Huo Yuhao, that ruthless killer, her innocent and kind daughter seems to have truly turned evil.

In a daze, she couldn't help but imagine the scene described by Wang Dong'er, and her mind became a mess.

What kind of nonsense is this?

The biological daughter encouraged her son-in-law to lock her in the basement and do whatever he wanted day and night.

If she hadn't heard it from Wang Dong'er, she probably would never have imagined that such an explosive plot development could occur in this world.

What's even more frightening is that this scenario seems poised to happen to me.

If she doesn't agree, it might really be a problem.

The shyness in her heart briefly overshadowed the sadness. Looking at Wang Dong'er's expression, which didn't seem to be joking, her throat bobbed involuntarily, and she was caught in a dilemma.

However, Wang Dong'er didn't seem to intend to give her much time to think, and asked directly.

"So, what's your answer, Mother?"

"."

Seemingly stimulated by that gentle address, Xiao Wu's delicate body trembled again, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

For a fleeting moment, she even had the thought of escaping, but now that she was in prison, she had nowhere to run.

From the silence, she lowered her head, letting the dim light from the corridor penetrate the gaps in the fence and fall on the strands of hair at her temples. She looked broken and Wang Dong'er couldn't discern the emotions contained in her eyes.

Joy or sorrow? Indifference?

Or is it wavering?

Just

As a mother, how could she refuse her child's request at this time?

He murmured something to himself, almost as if to comfort himself. His body, which had been stiff to the extreme, gradually softened, as if he had given up thinking and lost all his strength.

Then, like a respectable woman forced to submit to the tyrant's power, she gently bit her red lips and nodded.

"As you said, I had no choice, did I?"

Douluo Continent.

In a desolate wilderness, a figure covered in blood lay dying on the ground, eyes closed, barely breathing.

The crimson covering his body was none other than the blood seeping from his numerous bloody wounds. Moreover, much of the flesh around those wounds had already charred, emitting a pungent, burnt aroma.

Soon, drawn by the combined scents of blood and meat, a tiger-like spirit beast, over ten meters tall and seemingly with a cultivation level exceeding one hundred thousand years, wobbled over to the man's side.

Unexpectedly, the soul beast did not rush to pounce on the man after spotting him. Instead, it stood still and observed the surrounding environment with great vigilance.

But as time passed, it, unaware of anything amiss, began to show a bloodthirsty glint in its eyes, already looking ready to pounce.

Finally, after vaguely hearing other soul beasts rushing towards this side, it could no longer suppress its greed and pounced straight at the man.

However, just as it opened its mouth to bite the man's body, an unprecedented pain suddenly struck from its mouth.

Immediately afterwards, white fragments flew out from it.

A look of astonishment flashed in the soul beast's eyes as it looked at the scene before it.

His invincible fangs were actually shattered by a human body!?

Before it could react, a streak of blood burst from the man's back, easily slicing through its throat and disappearing into its heart.

Then, in an instant, it devoured all of its vigorous vitality.

Only when it was on its deathbed did the tiger-like spirit beast see clearly what had attacked it.

It was a blood-red spider spear.

"call."

As if aided by the power of life, the man who had been lying on the ground finally regained some mobility. He opened his eyes and struggled to his feet.

Without even glancing at the blood-red spirit ring rising from the spirit beast's body, he immediately checked his physical condition and couldn't help but frown.

"No, simply replenishing my life force will only heal the injuries inflicted on my body by Ji Dong and Lie Yan. At this rate, I will still die from the annihilation of my soul. I must find Tang San as soon as possible and use the reborn wisp of his soul to feign death and escape."

As he planned his next move, he couldn't help but sigh at how farsighted he had been back then.

If he hadn't tampered with the Eight Spider Lances the other party obtained, his current near-exhausted consciousness wouldn't have been able to conduct a thorough search like he did when he searched for Huo Yuhao.

In that case, he would really have no choice but to wait for death.

Fortunately, luck was on his side in the end!

There's an old saying that goes, "Those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune." Once the problem of his soul is resolved, it will be time for him to strike back!

After a quick sensing, he seemed to have pinpointed the other party's location and looked in the direction of Tiandou City.

"Is that... the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?"
