450: Chapter 450 Giving You a Ninth Soul Skill

Bibi Dong really wanted to give her a Ninth Spirit Ability.

To make her snap out of it; how dare she speak to her like that?

"Are you about to have a Breakthrough?"

Bibi Dong looked at Ye Yuaner with sudden surprise.

Her Soul Power was already at the Peak of level 97, seemingly only half a step away from level 98.

Ye Yuaner said proudly, "If Xiao Wen weren't in seclusion, I could have become a Peak Douluo during this time, but now I'll just have to wait."

"You should go into seclusion too; I will have someone guard this place."

"No need. I wouldn't be at ease leaving such matters to others."

Bibi Dong said nothing more.

She turned and left.

She couldn't manage Su Wen's personal affairs right now; she had to go handle official business.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had been destroyed, and such a major event had occurred in Heaven Dou City. It would likely spread across the continent before long, and Spirit Hall needed to make some preparations.

During the time Su Wen was in seclusion, a debate was taking place in the imperial court of the Heaven Dou Empire.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had been destroyed.

The Heaven Dou Empire had lost the support of the Titled Douluo forces.

Emperor Xue Ye had passed away.

Heaven Dou City had been nearly destroyed, and the common people were in a panic.

The nation was without a monarch.

This was the perfect time to seize the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Your Majesty, Spirit Hall is our greatest enemy. We must not send troops. Although the Heaven Dou Empire has suffered a disaster, their army remains intact. If we launch a full-scale attack, even if we succeed, we will suffer heavy losses. If Spirit Hall takes the opportunity to strike, everything we do will just be playing into their hands."

"Indeed, Your Majesty. We should strike Spirit Hall first and join forces with the Heaven Dou Empire. Once Spirit Hall disappears, the Heaven Dou Empire can be taken at any time."

"No, no, this old subject disagrees. It is impossible to take down Spirit Hall in the short term. We should attack the Heaven Dou Empire first, annex them to strengthen our Empire; only then can we contend with Spirit Hall."

"Father, I agree as well. The national strength of the Heaven Dou Empire is far inferior to ours, and now that they have suffered such a disaster, their army must be in low spirits. If we strike now, they will surely fall into chaos. I believe we won't need many troops to take them down. While we strike the Heaven Dou Empire, we can stabilize Spirit Hall; taking the Heaven Dou Empire will be effortless."

Dai Weisi threw out a crucial point: "Father, news has arrived that Third Brother was killed by people from the Heaven Dou Empire, and his body was hung from the eaves for all to see. This is simply an insult to our Royal Family. Using this as a pretext to send troops is completely justified."

The Star Luo Emperor sat on the throne, looking down at the civil and military officials below.

His expression was aloof; even upon hearing the news of Dai Mubai's death, there was little change on his face.

Back when rumors spread that Dai Mubai was a eunuch, he had already given up on this prince.

Regardless of whether the information was true, Dai Mubai had already lost his qualifications. Furthermore, he had not performed brilliantly in the tournament, and instead had made an enemy of Spirit Hall.

"Everyone, what do you think of the First Prince's words?"

Once the Star Luo Emperor spoke, everyone stopped talking. The Emperor speaking in such a manner already indicated his approval of Dai Weisi and his agreement to send troops to the Heaven Dou Empire. Opposing the Emperor at this moment would only incur his displeasure.

The officials in the court dispersed. The corners of Dai Weisi's mouth curled upward; he was more than halfway to completing his mission.

"Our Crown Prince, you've returned."

Just as Dai Weisi returned to his quarters, Zhu Zhuyun walked over with a cat-like gait, carrying a cup of water in her hand.

"Your Highness, will you drink water first, or will you drink mine first..."

Zhu Zhuyun's face flushed red, her fingers poking her own cheeks as she struck a seductive pose.

"You..."

Dai Weisi subconsciously took a step back, a blush appearing on his face: "Zhu Zhuyun, you had better behave yourself."

"Giggle, the Crown Prince really is so unromantic." Zhu Zhuyun looked resentful.

"Zhu Zhuyun, don't make me repeat myself."

"Giggle, alright, alright, I won't joke with you anymore. Don't be angry..."

Zhu Zhuyun held the tea and looked at her. Dai Weisi did not refuse again. She was not afraid of Zhu Zhuyun poisoning the water, unless the entire Zhu family wanted to die.

Zhu Zhuyun hummed and said, "Crown Prince, we've known each other for a while now, haven't we?"

Dai Weisi spoke impatiently: "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush with me."

"You're still the same..." Zhu Zhuyun looked at her with a fawning expression: "I want to join Spirit Hall and work by the Saint's side. Can you help me? I know what you want to do. I will fully cooperate with you on future matters, and even persuade my mother..."

"Heh, you've certainly thought it through now." Dai Weisi walked into the room, with Zhu Zhuyun following beside her, her voice helpless: "The real Dai Weisi was killed by you, and I see the Heaven Dou Empire is finished too. Heaven Dou City has been destroyed, and I fear the Star Luo Empire will fall into your hands before long. It is only reasonable for me to seek a way out for myself. What do you think?"

"What you said... I will tell the Saint truthfully. There is no issue with you joining Spirit Hall, but I am not sure if the Saint will accept you."

Spirit City, ten days had passed since Su Wen went into seclusion.

After several days of effort, he had successfully compressed his Soul Power, forming a spirit core within his body.

When Su Wen walked out of the room, Ye Yuaner was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea.

"Aunt Ye, I succeeded."

"Hee hee, my Xiao Wen is truly extraordinary."

Ye Yuaner came over.

She hugged him, grabbed the back of his head, and pressed it directly against her chest.

"Amazing!"

"Aunt Ye, it's a bit stifling... Where are Teacher and Yaoyao?"

Ye Yuaner loosened her grip, staring at him as if looking at a precious treasure.

"While you were in seclusion, Bibi Dong came several times, but she hasn't come today. She must still be handling matters regarding the Star Luo Empire."

"During the time you were in seclusion, the events in Heaven Dou City have spread across the continent. The Star Luo Empire's army is advancing toward the border; I think war will break out between the two Empires during this time."

Su Wen did not feel much surprise upon hearing this.

In previous years, whenever the two Empires had any conflicts, Spirit Hall would step in to mediate and prevent large-scale wars from breaking out.

This time was different. Spirit Hall would still intervene, but only when the people of the Heaven Dou Empire were at their most desperate.

Su Wen needed to find Bibi Dong and have her make adjustments to follow his intentions.

Ye Yuaner smiled and said, "Put other matters aside for now; nothing is more important than you obtaining your spirit ring."

"Aunt Ye, I know, but to be safe, we still need to persuade the Snow Empress to come with us. Aunt Ye, please help me call Shui Binger and the Snow Empress over. Bi Ji as well; have her come to persuade the Snow Empress."

Su Wen knew well the power of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. In the original story, without the secret help of Asura, Tang San would have been unable to kill him.

Bibi Dong and he were both very strong, but if this guy decided to self-destruct, the danger level would increase infinitely.

He couldn't count on Qian Daoliu; he could only ask the Snow Empress to help him out.

After Ye Yuaner left, Su Wen called out the Demon Empress.

Watching a beautiful woman appear before him.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Demon Empress, I have a task for you. I will obtain some Ice and Fire Spring Water; can you get the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to drink it? If you do well, I will give you a reward."

"Husband, I have no problem with that, but can I have this reward now?"

"Sure, come into the room with me."
