Phoenix Bone News? Qian Renxue Deals with Xue Beng
The letter was from Zhu Zhuyun!
An image of the stubborn Grand Prince Consort appeared in Lin Xiao's mind. He had originally coerced her into finding him a Phoenix Bone within the Star Luo Empire's borders, but they hadn't been in contact since the Soul Master Competition.
He had only tried it on a whim.
His main goal was to plant a hidden agent in the Star Luo Empire, and he hadn't expected it to actually yield results.
The letter said,
In the mountains west of Otto Province in the Star Luo Empire, there was a place called the Ashen Mountain Range. The geographical environment was unique, and it was said that Heavenly Fire Burning Mountains occurred frequently, making it extremely dangerous. Perhaps there was something Lin Xiao needed there.
Additionally, after the Soul Master Competition, Dai Mubai had disappeared without a trace. Dai Weisi had returned to the country, and although he had lost the competition, with only Dai Mubai as his competitor, his status had risen steadily.
Currently, there were constant skirmishes along the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire. The First Prince's faction hoped to escalate the situation into a large-scale war, seemingly to avenge the humiliation Lin Xiao had inflicted on him that day.
"Raising personal grudges to a national level?"
"Or do they think Heaven Dou is weak and a fight wouldn't matter?"
Lin Xiao didn't know Dai Weisi's considerations, but he didn't care either. It was just that Emperor Xue Ye had been frowning with worry lately, and had privately met with Dugu Bo several times.
If the Star Luo Empire maintained its previous arrogance, it might suffer a great loss.
A wisp of Fire Phoenix rose from his fingertips, and the letter burned to ash.
"I can't fully trust Zhu Zhuyun either. Perhaps this is a Hongmen Banquet targeting me?"
...
Shrek Academy.
Ever since Lin Xiao fought Zhao Wuji and destroyed the Shrek Academy buildings, Flender, a dignified Soul Saint expert, had been ill for a period of time.
His entire state of mind was depressed, and he almost never recovered.
On the other hand, Yu Xiaogang was severely injured and had been cared for by Liu Erlong. But who would have thought that despite Liu Erlong's diligent care and tender affection, Yu Xiaogang kept calling out "Dong'er" in his coma? Liu Erlong's emotions were complicated, and she left gracefully when Yu Xiaogang's injuries improved.
Her heart was in turmoil, and she wanted to be alone.
Yu Tianheng returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. As a dignified Soul King expert, he was a rare fighting force. His family found him a marriage, which Yu Tianheng sternly refused, but he stammered and couldn't come up with a suitable reason.
After the marriage, he neglected his new bride.
Dai Mubai had run away and didn't return to the Star Luo Empire. Instead, he had hidden in some unknown corner and was now missing.
Zhu Zhuqing was in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Her life was very simple, still following a three-point routine. After completing the tasks assigned by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she trained diligently and her relationship with Ning Rongrong was getting better and better.
Oscar...
Lin Xiao's mind stirred. Oscar's talent was beyond doubt, and he was a rare talent. Instead of wasting his Food System Soul Master talent, it would be better for the Heaven Dou Empire to recruit him.
As of now.
Lin Xiao and the Heaven Dou Empire were still in a honeymoon period. Emperor Xue Ye had given him the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone without hesitation. The Dugu Family and the Ye Family, including the Shui Family in Heaven Water City, were all within the Heaven Dou Empire's borders.
The Heaven Dou Empire was clearly the biggest buffer.
As for how to recruit Oscar, Lin Xiao would tell Emperor Xue Ye not to rush into recruiting him. He should carefully select a pure noble young lady with good looks and family background and have her fall in love with him.
Aside from the "Love Continent" factor, this was also Lin Xiao's judgment based on Oscar's character design in the original work. The three male students at Shrek Academy, excluding Tang San, all seemed to be sexually frustrated.
The Empire would provide Money, titles, and women; it was time for him to serve the Empire!
...
After Xue Beng returned from the Dugu Manor, he reviewed and reflected on his performance. He felt that although the proposal would definitely arouse the Crown Prince's jealousy, his subsequent actions perfectly fit the image of a dissolute prince blinded by lust. He thought the Crown Prince would only scoff at him and wouldn't take him seriously.
However, there was still a hint of melancholy in his heart. The scene that appeared in his mind was when he saw Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling up close that day. He had played with so many women and considered himself an old hand in the field.
But now it seemed.
He had only been eating coarse food, while Lin Xiao, without a sound, had been feasting on delicacies. It was truly enviable.
"Suddenly, I'm not interested in these common women anymore."
"If I can become the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire in the future, I might not be unable to get close to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling."
"At the very least, they must be beauties of the same caliber. Only then would my life not be wasted."
Xue Beng didn't think being lustful was shameful.
In a high-pressure living environment, if he didn't have something to look forward to, what was the meaning of his life?
Of course.
If Lin Xiao remained powerful and was still alive and beneficial to him in the future, he would also go against his conscience, ask for forgiveness, and pretend that his previous lustful behavior was only for self-preservation.
There was no movement from the Crown Prince Residence.
Xue Beng felt that his disguise must have worked. After all, the Crown Prince had never looked at him directly, so why would he suddenly try to kill him over such a small matter?
Walking on the streets of Heaven Dou City,
Xue Beng continued to play the role of a dissolute prince. When he saw a young woman dressed purely at the street corner ahead, his eyes lit up, and he walked over swaggeringly with a defiant stride.
Without a word, he grabbed the young woman and walked into the alley.
Unexpectedly, the resistance he had imagined didn't come. It seemed the young woman had an extremely weak personality. After being threatened a few times, she glanced nervously at the surrounding crowd and followed him into the alley.
At the same time, Pufferfish Douluo, who had been following Xue Beng, saw this but his expression didn't change much. He followed with an indifferent look.
Just as Xue Beng made his move, someone silently struck the back of his neck with a hand chop, and he immediately fainted.
Pufferfish Douluo looked at the unconscious Xue Beng and said calmly to the young woman dressed innocently, "Your mission is complete. To avoid further complications, you can return directly to Spirit City to report. Don't use this appearance again in the future."
The young woman's expression changed instantly. There was no longer any trace of innocence or weakness.
She immediately knelt down happily. "Thank you, sir!"
After being an external agent for Spirit Hall for so many years, her dream was still to work a simple, easy, and well-paying desk job in Spirit City. Now, that dream had come true.
Meanwhile, Pufferfish Douluo looked at the unconscious Xue Beng, his gaze slowly shifting downwards. A fierce look flashed across his face. He slightly raised his hand, and a subtle surge of Soul Power crushed the eggs.
If Xue Beng behaved himself from now on and maintained his identity as a eunuch, he might still be able to live out his days in peace.
He wasn't Playing the Pig to Eat the Tiger and didn't want to live?
Now, he had been given the chance to live.
In his unconscious state, Xue Beng's face suddenly turned deathly pale, seemingly in extreme pain
