Chapter 146: Winning Over Allies

"You're talking nonsense. Only a fool would believe what you say. Our husband is wise, brave, and a brilliant genius. He won't buy into your full-of-holes excuses!"

Ah Yin vigorously flattered Zhao Ling and also declared that only idiots would believe Bo Saixi's reasons, forcing someone to follow her lead.

"Xi'er, I just remembered. When I passed by Long'er's room holding her, you indeed closed and locked both the door and window. You really seem to dislike me, don't you?"

Zhao Ling's originally gentle, refined, and affable face suddenly twisted into a terrifying scowl.

Bo Saixi trembled in fear and quickly shook her head like a rattle, denying everything.

"Husband, Xi'er didn't do that, really didn't! It was Sister Yin'er who lied to you. She's always the one disliking you…"

Zhao Ling nodded slightly and turned his head to Ah Yin, "Yes, Yin'er, you also dislike me. In that case, tell me, how should I punish you both? Hehe…"

"Uh…" Ah Yin's expression immediately froze. Oh no, she realized she had just shot herself in the foot.

Right now, her husband wasn't really asking how to punish her and Sister Saixi. He had already made up his mind to punish them both together.

Sure enough, the next second, Zhao Ling wrapped his arms tightly around both Ah Yin's and Sister Saixi's waists and quickly headed toward his own room.

Ah Yin tried to struggle free from Zhao Ling's embrace, but with her strength, she couldn't break his hold.

Bo Saixi, a level 99 Ultimate Douluo, actually had the strength to break free, but she dared not do so.

Her husband's desire for revenge was very strong. If she offended him now, next time facing him alone, she might be even worse off than Long'er.

More importantly, her husband had already spent two days in Long'er's room. She couldn't believe her husband's physique was truly that insane.

Soon, the two women were carried into Zhao Ling's master bedroom. Once the door closed, embarrassing sounds started coming from inside…

Meanwhile, in Liu Erlong's room, she was lazily lying on the bed looking completely hopeless. She didn't know how she had gotten through the past two days.

She deeply regretted it now. If she had known, she wouldn't have dared offend her petty husband no matter what.

She only teased him a little, and refused to call him "husband" obediently. Did he have to treat her like this?

Wuwu, she felt so pitiful—she was probably the most miserable woman in the entire Douluo Continent.

However, her beautiful eyes landed on a Cockscomb Phoenix Herb placed beside her, instantly piquing her curiosity.

"So this is the immortal-grade herb Sister Yin'er mentioned, which can directly raise one's soul power level and improve aptitude? It looks quite strange."

But Liu Erlong didn't plan to take the herb immediately.

She had no choice—she could barely even move a finger besides blinking.

Also, she simply had no appetite now.

She decided it was more important to sleep and recuperate first, then take the Cockscomb Phoenix Herb.

She hoped to reach level 40 directly. If she did, she would make her husband accompany her to the Sunset Forest to hunt for a soul ring.

Once that was done, she could graduate from school and stay at her husband's mansion without worry, happily spending every day with her husband and Sister Yin'er. How wonderful!

Thinking this, Liu Erlong could no longer keep her eyelids up. She fell into a deep sleep, too lazy even to put the herb away.

Zhao Ling gave her the Cockscomb Phoenix Herb because her spirit beast was a Fire Dragon.

The herb was a great tonic for pure yang and could purify impurities, so it should be very helpful.

Whether Liu Erlong's spirit beast would change after taking the herb, or if she'd become even more irritable than before, was unknown.

That would be awkward if she became even more violent.

But Zhao Ling thought it over and over, concluding this herb was the best fit.

Perhaps Liu Erlong would bring a pleasant surprise after taking it.

Meanwhile, something major happened on Douluo Continent in the past few days.

The Tian Dou royal family announced to the world that they had hired the Demon Suppressing Douluo with a high price as their royal servant, and declared that the Snow Night Emperor's only son had accepted the Demon Suppressing Douluo as his foster father.

Due to the Spirit Hall's heavy publicity, the Demon Suppressing Douluo's identity was well-known to major sects and families across the continent.

He was a titled Douluo expert, the fiancé of the current Spirit Hall saintess, an honorary elder of Spirit Hall, and now a royal servant of Tian Dou's imperial family and foster father to the future crown prince.

Each of these titles alone was extraordinary, and all were held by the same person. How could this not shock everyone?

On the day the Tian Dou royal family announced it, the current sect leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect immediately sent congratulations and showed great goodwill to that royal servant.

When Qianxun Ji of Spirit Hall heard these two pieces of news, he was silent for a moment.

When he regained composure, his face was full of joy, repeating three times, "Good! Good! Good!"

As the saying goes, some rejoice while others grieve. When the news reached the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus family, Yu Yuanzhen slammed his palm on the clan meeting table, shattering it.

Many families now knew that the Demon Suppressing Douluo was Zhao Ling—the one who had turned the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus family's eldest son into a fool.

He was also the mastermind who trampled the second son and the entire clan's dignity into the dirt.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ling not only hooked up with Spirit Hall and became the saintess's fiancé, but also became a royal servant and foster father to the crown prince.

He lived quite a rich and colorful life. Meanwhile, their eldest son was a fool, and the second son locked in the clan dungeon.

How could Yu Yuanzhen not be furious enough to go mad, wanting to fight Zhao Ling to the death?

Most unbearable to him and the elders was that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, one of the top three sects and their steadfast ally, actually showed goodwill to Zhao Ling.

Yu Loumian suddenly stood up angrily from his seat and said,

"Big brother, I think you must personally go to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and make our enmity with that bastard Zhao Ling crystal clear.

If we don't pull the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect back soon, we will lose them as an ally before long.

Not only that, we should quickly befriend the Clear Sky Sect. We absolutely cannot let Clear Sky Sect side with that bastard Zhao Ling!"
