Dai Yunâer had never been afraid of her father. âThe rules are only set for the peasants. Whatâs wrong with a man having many wives? I donât even consider a woman having many husbands as something wrong. Monogamy is the devolvement of society. An outstanding person should have more partners. That way, more of his genes can be passed on and lead the human society forward. Those whoâre not as outstanding should be restricted in their rights to obtain a partner. This is natural selection, the survival of the fittest!â
âNonsense!â After Dai Tianling almost went on a rampage after hearing his daughterâs words. âYou! you... â
âFather, how many women do you have?â Dai Yunâerâs words were like a knife that stabbed into her fatherâs heart. The emperor that was ready to blow up just moments ago was immediately silenced.
âSo you were the one who taught me all this! Youâre the most outstanding person in our Star Luo Empire, thatâs why you can have many partners. Everybody thinks that this is normal. Similarly, Tang Wulin is also an outstanding person. Why canât he have more partners?â
Dai Tianling was left speechless by this pettifog and his daughterâs heresies. Dai Yunâer had said nothing wrong in theory. However, he had no idea why it sounded so awkward to him.
âYouâre an imperial princess! How can you share your husband with someone else?â Dai Tianling said as he bristled with anger.
Dai Yunâer retorted. âDidnât you teach us while we were still kids that the royal family and the common people are the same in the empire? It is precisely because of this principle that youâre loved by people. Do you mean to say that it was all for show?â
âYou...â
âLittle sister, stop it. Look how angry youâve made father feel.â Dai Yueyan hastily stepped forward in an attempt to quell the flames.
âGet lost!â Dai Tianling angrily scolded his son.
Dai Yueyan felt wronged. âI know you canât bring yourself to scold your daughter, but your son is innocent as well!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDai Yunâer, let me tell you this. I wanted to lower the difficulty at first to let that Tang Wulin undergo the Battle of the Five Gods with experts under the age of fifty. I would even do that if it meant going back on my precious words. Just so that others wonât say that our empire is a big bully. But now, Iâll put together the strongest lineup for his Battle of the Five Gods. His side has requested that all five matches be carried out, even if he lost. So let me make him lose all five matches to his heartâs content. I want everyone in the empire to see it. Iâll make this bastard who dared reject my daughter, pay. As for you, if you want to be a concubine to someone else, you have to cross over my dead body first! Or...â
âOr what?â Dai Yunâer looked at her father with a pitiful expression.
Dai Tianling coldly said, âUnless that Tang Wulin can really win the Battle of the Five Gods.â He flapped his sleeves and left.
âShh, be quiet you little ancestor. Youâre the only one whoâs daring enough to say something like this.â Dai Yueyan did not know whether he should cry or laugh.
Dai Yunâer said, âFather doesnât know anything. If Tang Wulin wants me, I donât care even if Iâm a second wife or a concubine. Even if father disagrees, what makes him think that I wonât just elope?â
âUhh...â Dai Yueyan looked at Dai Yunâer with a speechless expression. âYouâre really an extroverted girl! If father hears this, heâll certainly be sad.â
Dai Yunâer said, âItâs not that I wonât be back. When the rice has turned into porridge, Iâll return with fatherâs grandson. With the love he has for me, he would have to accept me even if he doesnât want it.â
âDai Yunâer!â Dai Yueyan suddenly raised his volume. As he looked at his little sister before him, he suddenly felt that the little witch of the past had come back to life.
âWhat?â Dai Yunâer started to smile.
âYou win!â Dai Yueyan looked at her with a defeated expression.
Dai Yunâer said triumphantly. âIâve suddenly come round in that instant. I must fight for my own happiness. Tang Wulin, donât you even think about escaping my clutches. Even if I have to resort to drugs, Iâll make porridge out of your rice. I refuse to believe that you wonât want me when that time comes.â
âBang!â Dai Yueyan slammed his head onto the wall.
...
âThis is the Imperial TV Station. According to the latest news from the royal family, the current newly appointed Sect Master of the Tang Sect has come to the empire on a diplomatic visit. After a friendly discussion between both parties, the Tang Sectâs Sect Master would participate in a competition modeled after the ancient Battle of Five Gods. The Imperial TV Station will be covering this grand event which will take place over five days. Without a doubt, this will be a great battle. You wouldnât want to miss it.â
âThe first match will begin after three days. The other matches will be held on consecutive days. We will be following closely with the progress of the Battle of Five Gods.â
This short message spread across the entire Star Luo Empire like wildfire. The entire country was excited for some time.
The citizens of the Star Luo Empire were not strangers to the Tang Sect. That was the greatest sect on the current Star Luo Continent. The legends of the Tang Sect were written into the studentsâ textbooks. It was a compulsory subject for every Star Luo citizen.
The pride of Star Luo citizens was Tang Sectâs resurging master, the Spirit Ice Douluo Dai Yuhao. He was from the Star Luo Empireâs royal family and was also Spirit Pagodaâs founder. Hence, the citizens of the Star Luo Empire were born with a natural closeness to Tang Sect.
Some were unfamiliar with the name of Tang Wulin while some were familiar.
Various news regarding this newly elected Tang Sect Sect Master spread everywhere very quickly.
Tang Wulin led the Shrek Seven Monsters into the Star Luo Empireâs Young Soul Masters Competition and eventually defeated the Eight Heavenly Kings of Monster Academy. The recordings of that feat were replayed by various stations in the Star Luo Empire.
Within the span of a few days, Tang Wulin had become a person who was known by every household in the Star Luo Empire.
âWhat a brilliant move!â After he watched the Imperial TV Stationâs broadcast, Smiley Face Douluo could not help but felt impressed.
Dai Tianling seemed furious and angered the other day, but the handling of this situation was a sign of his experience in such matters.
An actual Battle of Five Gods had been portrayed as a model for the Battle of Five Gods which was aimed to present the people with a great and exciting battle. They even went so far as to say that they hoped the young soul masters and mecha masters in the empire could see their future in this match.
Without a doubt, this was a source of motivation for the entire nation. It was a propaganda of individual heroism. More importantly, the close relationship between Tang Sect and the Star Luo Empire had been materialized with this announcement.
Similar to how the Star Luo and Dou Spirit Empires had insiders within the federation, the Douluo Federation surely had their sources in Star Luo Empire. This news would certainly be sent back. It had already been difficult for the Tang Sect to move an inch in the federation before this. With this announcement, they would certainly feel a greater impact.
This entire affair was for the benefits of the Star Luo Empire. It would strengthen their cooperation with Tang Sect. This meant that Tang Sect would rely on Star Luo more and become estranged from the federation. If they could obtain all the soul technologies from Tang Sect, then the Star Luo Empire would certainly be able to improve themselves in this aspect.
At the same time, Tang Wulinâs identity as the Tang Sectâs Sect Master was also exposed to the general public.
The Battle of Five Gods had not been carried out yet, and the Star Luo Empire had already gained an absolute advantage.
Hu Jie had been communicating with the Star Luo Empireâs royal family before this. He had requested that Tang Wulinâs visit to Star Luo Empire be kept a secret before they agreed to come here. The Star Luo Empire had agreed to those terms.
However, when Hu Jie expressed his objection regarding this public announcement, the Star Luo Empireâs royal family gave a very simple explanation. His Majesty was currently in a fit of fury and the decision he made was truly unsound. However, it was already impossible to retract that statement.
The Smiley Face Douluo was speechless. Who was the Smiling Tiger here? As the emperor, Dai Tianling had surely witnessed violent storms and waves. Would he lose his cool just for some petty affairs of his children? There was no way he would believe that. However, what was done was done. The Star Luo Empire had dragged Tang Sect into this mess with this vicious method. With this powerful move, Tang Sect had been immediately suppressed on all sides.
Other matters aside, the Spirit Pagoda alone would not hold back in suppressing Tang Sect. Tang Sect had just announced that Spirit Pagoda was colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult. Spirit Pagoda could use Star Luo Empireâs announcement to create some counter-suppression on the public opinion against them.
It hurt his head just to think about all this. Fortunately, the Amorous Douluo was in charge in the federation. It would be his job to worry about this.
Hu Jie sighed inwardly. No matter what, since this had already happened, they had no choice but to deal with it. They could not do anything else.
The first thing on their agenda would be to complete the Battle of Five Gods and achieve the objectives of their current visit. Tang Sect had deep roots in the federation. It would not be easy to undermine that.
He did not report to Tang Wulin about these things. Tang Wulin was currently in secluded cultivation within his own room. He was waiting for the Battle of Five Gods which would start after three days.
