The Ice Empress, in a vibrant emerald dress, possessed a beauty that could topple empires. Her face was exquisitely cold and alluring, and despite her loli-like appearance, her aura was exceptionally powerful.
The Snow Empress, with her cinched waist and tall figure, wore a simple white dress like a snow lotus on a high mountain, exuding a gentle yet aloof aura that kept people at arm's length.
Both of them followed behind Lin Xiao, clearly with him as the leader.
Although Star Crown Douluo couldn't see through Lin Xiao, he could roughly estimate his combat power from his battle with Tang Xiao. He was truly a young hero, a peerless prodigy.
But, Why did the two women beside him give Star Crown Douluo an extremely dangerous feeling, as if a lamb had met its predator?
It was like a bone stuck in his throat, a thorn in his back.
In addition to his apprehension, he also harbored a trace of fear that he himself hadn't noticed.
"Those two ladies, they must be extraordinary, right?"
Unexpectedly, the usually cold and arrogant Ice Empress blushed.
On the other hand, the Snow Empress remained calm and composed, looking at Lin Xiao with a smile, as if she was guessing how he would answer.
Lin Xiao quickly corrected him:
"Star Crown Douluo, you've misunderstood. These two are not my wives, but my..."
After pondering for a moment, Lin Xiao gave a precise answer.
"They are my followers."
"As for the strength you're curious about, these two followers of mine are only stronger than me, not weaker."
Star Crown Douluo was silent.
He knew it.
His Star Crown Martial Soul was extremely special, especially sensitive in terms of perception.
The feeling the Snow Empress gave him reminded him of his encounter with Qian Daoliu, the Great Priest of Spirit Hall, many years ago.
At that time, Qian Daoliu was already at the Limit Douluo level.
Star Crown Douluo pondered for a long time before saying:
"Then, Lin Xiao, did you come to the Star Luo Empire only to hunt down Tang Xiao, or do you have other plans?"
Asking this question took all of Star Crown Douluo's courage.
After all, his individual combat power was weaker than Tang Xiao's. Only when he cooperated with the Star Luo Empire to form a military formation could he unleash extremely strong combat power.
And if Lin Xiao, the Ice Empress, and the Snow Empress chose to attack, he would have no chance of survival.
Fortunately, although Lin Xiao was strong, his personality was still considered mild, and he had not evolved into a Celestial Dragon. He wouldn't be the type to say, "I don't eat beef."
"Naturally, I only came to hunt down Tang Xiao."
"The Clear Sky Sect is deeply involved with the fallen. The remnants of Clear Sky, everyone has the right to kill them."
Star Crown Douluo breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
At the same time, he also knew.
With the strength shown by Lin Xiao and the two powerhouses beside him, even if they wanted to cause trouble in the Star Luo Empire, he would be helpless.
The strong are respected, and the weak are preyed upon.
Whether he was beaten or trampled, he could only accept it.
...
Because Gu Yuena, this great Buddha, was still in Heaven Dou City, Lin Xiao didn't plan to stay in Star Luo City for too long. After dealing with Tang Xiao's matter, he would leave the remaining work to Zhu Zhuyun.
This time, he brought the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress, concealing their auras and figures, to Zhu Zhuyun's residence.
Upon seeing Zhu Zhuyun, Lin Xiao informed her that Tang Xiao had been killed and about the existence of Star Crown Douluo.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhuyun was very surprised by this.
"Star Crown Douluo?"
"Does the Star Luo Empire still have its own Titled Douluo?"
She was completely unaware of Star Crown Douluo's existence.
Lin Xiao immediately understood that the seemingly ordinary old farmer-dressed Titled Douluo was actually the reclusive ancestor of the Star Crown Sect of the Star Luo Empire.
Zhu Zhuyun's beautiful eyes widened, and she asked in surprise:
"Lin Xiao, what was the strength of the Titled Douluo you encountered? You came to the Star Luo Empire to hunt down Tang Xiao without informing the Star Luo Emperor. Didn't he stop you or suspect you?"
Lin Xiao just replied calmly.
"Whether he stops me or suspects me."
"It doesn't matter."
"His strength should be about the same as Tang Xiao's, both level 95 Super Douluo, but his individual combat ability must be inferior to Tang Xiao, and also inferior to Yu Yuanzhen."
Lin Xiao didn't answer directly, but the answer was self-evident.
Could he control Star Crown Douluo?
Zhu Zhuyun breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Lin Xiao with hope.
"So, Lin Xiao, you will definitely help me, right?"
"Hard to say."
Lin Xiao replied nonchalantly.
Zhu Zhuyun is a very ambitious and thoughtful woman. If Dai Zhen or Dai Weisi were to see her true colors, they would definitely lose sleep over it.
They would never allow her to touch the core of power, and wouldn't even dare to let her sleep next to them.
But for Lin Xiao, he rather admired Zhu Zhuyun's ambition. Seeing ambition in a woman gave off a kind of heroic spirit and vitality that said, "Who says women are inferior to men?"
Most importantly, no matter how ambitious Zhu Zhuyun was, Lin Xiao could suppress her, preventing her from causing any waves and instead turning her into a capable assistant.
It didn't matter if she wanted to become the empress of the Star Luo Empire, or even annex the Heaven Dou Empire and unify the continent. Lin Xiao had nothing to fear.
For example, Lin Xiao used to worry most about Bibi Dong, but as time passed and his own strength continued to increase, Bibi Dong was no longer something to be feared.
Of course, he still needed to seize the time to cultivate. At the very least, he couldn't wait until Bibi Dong became a god while Lin Xiao wasn't even a Titled Douluo yet.
Zhu Zhuyun's face was full of disappointment.
And Lin Xiao was deliberately trying to disappoint her.
This woman was extremely clever, extremely bold, and extremely flirtatious.
If Lin Xiao dared to give her a good look, she would dare to come over and get touchy-feely the next day.
If Lin Xiao didn't show obvious displeasure, she would dare to climb into his bed on the third day.
When dealing with Zhu Zhuyun, one couldn't be gentle or show humanistic care.
This kind of subordinate could only be whipped on the ass, and would only move when whipped.
"Alright, in a couple of years, I'll mail you a Soul Douluo-level expert at least, who is quite close to you. You can look forward to it."
Zhu Zhuyun looked suspicious.
But Lin Xiao refused to say any more.
...
At the Imperial Palace banquet.
Dai Mubai was trembling, his tall figure giving off a sense of timidity. He didn't touch any of the food at the banquet.
Even his personality had changed.
Facing the noble ladies who crowded around him, Dai Mubai showed no interest, and even forbade them from getting close.
Tang San was surprised.
Dai Mubai wouldn't be afraid to this extent, would he?
But he immediately remembered that it seemed that a certain important part of Dai Mubai's body had lost its basic physiological function.
If he couldn't even use it, of course he could resist the temptation of beauty.
Dai Weisi saw Dai Mubai hiding in the corner at a glance. A cold killing intent flashed in his Evil Eyes, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He picked up his wine glass and walked straight towards where he was.
"Good brother, thanks to your 'visit' some time ago, my body was able to recover so quickly."
"I'll toast you a cup."
"I'll drink it all first."
Dai Weisi picked up his wine glass and gulped it down, the corner of his eye falling on Tang San, who was following Dai Mubai.
According to the information he had collected, this kid named Tang San seemed to be best at hidden weapons and poison, and had repeatedly used them in the Soul Arena…
So, this was the bastard?!
