Douluo: Starting from the engagement with Zhu Zhuqing.

Lake of life.

"Dai Yao, your mind still hasn't changed? I can't give you too much time."

Looking at Dai Yao opposite him, Di Tian smiled.

His black pupils were like a deep pool, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

He realized something was wrong.

First, although Dai Yao's attitude had gradually softened over the past twenty days, he had never backed down on fundamental issues.
Secondly, since Xiong Jun accepted his mission and left, he has not returned until now, a full ten days have passed. Even if Xiong Jun was delayed by something, he should have returned long ago;
Most importantly, his beast instincts were beating wildly, as if something terrifying was approaching.

According to his estimation, if the war in the Tiandou Empire proceeded normally, it would last for a year without any problem. But he couldn't wait any longer, the ominous premonition made his scalp tingle!
Hearing this, Dai Yao's hand hanging in the air paused slightly, and his eyes dropped, as if he was worried about something.

"Di Tian, ​​are you so impatient? This is a matter that will determine the fate of the two races. You know better than me what the consequences will be if you act too hastily. Can't you give me a little more time to think about it?"

Dai Yao said in a low voice.

Only twenty days had passed, and there was still a ten-day difference from the one-month time agreed upon by him and Bibi Dong. Moreover, even if the agreed deadline came, he would have to continue to delay as much as he could. One month was already a bit tight to take over the Tiandou Empire, and giving him some buffer time was a responsibility to the human race.

Hearing this, Di Tian, ​​who had been prepared, said in a deep voice:
"Ten days. I can only give you ten days at most. You must give me an answer."

After saying this, Di Tian disappeared from the spot.

The atmosphere around the wooden table gradually became solemn. Brigitte and Ziji couldn't help but look at each other, and then they all looked at Dai Yao.

In the eyes of the two girls, Dai Yao was like a sculpture, frozen in place. After a while, he suddenly laughed, and in that laugh, he did not hide his decadence. He put his hands on Biji's shoulders, stroking her charming curves, and leaned over to be intimate, which made Ziji stunned.

"Come on, Brigitte, we must celebrate tonight."

Dai Yao said in a somewhat crazy tone, as if he was caught between humans and soul beasts and wanted to escape.

"Celebrating what?"

Brigitte asked doubtfully.

"Celebrate peace, which is as precious as gold!"

Dai Yao raised the wooden cup containing the water of life and laughed loudly.

A hint of deep doubt flashed across Brigitte's eyes. On that day on the rock, Dai Yao was galloping above her with high spirits and heroic spirit, and he made a vow to resolve the hatred between the two tribes. Is he the same person as the decadent, cowardly and incompetent guy now?
But all his confusion turned into a "hmm".

"Sister Biji, you..."

Ziji glared at Biji, her beautiful eyes filled with anger and confusion.

Even though they were gifts from Emperor Tian to Dai Yao, they were the soul beasts standing at the top of the pyramid in the Xingdou Great Forest, and they also had their own dignity. The person or soul beast who could conquer them, if not the overlord of the unified continent, must be a rare hero.

But Dai Yao's cowardly behavior is not worthy of them at all!

But why does Sister Brigitte have to be so submissive?
Biji did not answer her question, but followed Dai Yao out of the Lake of Life and into the dense forest. Ziji knew what was going to happen without even thinking about it.

"An incompetent man who can only vent his hatred on women!"

Zi Ji was secretly resentful.

An hour later, the sounds in the woods gradually died down. Dai Yao, half-undressed, sat on a thick tree trunk, looking up at the bright moon rising in the sky, with a fierceness in his eyes that Zi Ji had never seen before.

"Di Tian is getting more and more anxious. He must have discovered something. Ten days, I don't know if these ten days are enough. Bibi Dong, where have you come now?"

Dai Yao’s thoughts raced.

At this moment, a pair of arms reached out and wrapped around his neck. Brigitte pressed herself tightly against Dai Yao's body, and moved in front of him with her blushing face, staring closely at this extremely decadent man. She always felt that Dai Yao was hiding something from her.

The scallion-like jade fingers brushed across Dai Yao's chest. Brigitte was gentle and charming, and said softly:
"Dai Yao, you have a secret in your heart that is as deep as the lake of life. Can you let me know?"

Dai Yao grinned, but it immediately turned cold.

"Curiosity is a good thing, but excessive curiosity is the source of destruction. When the time comes, I will tell you everything, but not now."

Brigitte was stunned. She had never seen Dai Yao so majestic before. His golden pupils seemed to be burning with gold, which made people dare not look directly at him. It was not the majesty from the gods, but the breath of some supreme existence, which made her soul tremble.

The decadent image of the past was burned to ashes at this moment. This was another side of Dai Yao that she had never seen before.

"Don't tell anyone. I will keep my promise. The future of humans and soul beasts is up to you."

Dai Yao stared at Brigitte's turquoise eyes which were so close to him and said in a cold voice.

The overly intimate contact still made Brigitte, a woman with a keen mind, notice something was wrong, no matter how hard Dai Yao tried to hide it.

If Dai Yao chose to continue to cover up and deceive Bi Ji with lies, with Bi Ji's sensitivity, she might directly tell Di Tian about his abnormality in the past few days. You know, in Dai Yao's omniscient state, he did not find that Bi Ji had passed any information to Di Tian in the past few days.

This is also the reason why Dai Yao has the confidence to confront Brigitte.

Moreover, Brigitte has always hoped that humans and soul beasts can coexist peacefully. She never wants humans and soul beasts to go to war unless it is absolutely necessary.

Biji was stunned for a long time, and her heart was filled with turmoil. Dai Yao was indeed plotting something. For a moment, she was in a state of confusion. If she told Di Tian what Dai Yao had hidden from her, there would be no chance for the relationship between humans and soul beasts to turn around. But if she didn't tell Di Tian, ​​how could she face the soul beasts?

After a while, she stared at Dai Yao and said slowly:

"You promised you would keep your promise."

Dai Yao held Biji in his arms and said solemnly:

"I have never broken my promises. My reputation is not that cheap."

Biji suddenly felt more at ease, but she still wanted to find out what Dai Yao was hiding from her. She didn't want it to be a conspiracy that would harm the soul beasts. But since Dai Yao said the time was not right, she would just wait.

Her mind was in turmoil and she didn't want to think anymore, so she just let herself sink into the madness for a while...
······
But before the tenth day, just after the third day, something strange happened.

A soul master with broken hands and feet came to the Star Dou Great Forest, holding a gray-brown scale, and met Di Tian.

Lake of Life, shore.

The four fierce beasts, led by Di Tian, ​​all stood by, listening to Tang Hao's statement. Their faces suddenly changed, anger surged, and their fists gradually clenched.

"A few days ago, the Wuhun Empire summoned 300,000 troops, including 12 Titled Douluo. Bibi Dong even came to Zhennan Pass in person. Senior, please launch the beast tide immediately. Otherwise, once Tiandou City is destroyed, the Tiandou Empire will be truly destroyed."

Tang Hao, leaning on his crutches, excitedly spoke to Di Tian and others.

"Damn it, that guy is lying to us. He is stalling for time on purpose! Beast God, find him and let us question him face to face!"

The Red King was extremely excited, and the flames on his body were burning fiercely, as if they were going to burn everything.

"Question him what? Ask him how he fooled us?"

The King of Ten Thousand Demons glanced at Emperor Tian and spoke lightly.

Di Tian was like a stone statue, motionless. His eyes were as deep as the abyss, making it impossible to see his emotions, but the dragon claws that had torn apart countless enemies were clenched tightly, and the veins on his arms were bulging, showing that he was extremely excited.

Di Tian understood a lot in an instant. After listening to Tang Hao's explanation, all the strange things that puzzled him became clear. I'm afraid that the disappearance of Xiong Jun is closely related to Dai Yao! He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and was about to speak when a loud laugh suddenly came from the forest on the edge of the Lake of Life.

The soul beasts looked in the direction of the sound and saw Dai Yao slowly walking towards them with Biji and Ziji.

"Everyone, it looks like we have guests today."

Dai Yao put his arm around Brigitte's slender waist, smiled freely, and fixed his eyes on Tang Hao.

In the state of omniscience, Dai Yao sensed Tang Hao's arrival. When Long Lin appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest, Dai Yao knew that he could no longer hide it. Even if he used teleportation to kill Tang Hao instantly, Long Lin's aura had already been sensed by Di Tian, ​​so he simply let Tang Hao enter the Star Dou Great Forest.

Tang Hao stared at Dai Yao in a daze, totally unable to believe that there was actually a human being in the forbidden area for humans. Moreover, this human being was the one who had caused his son endless pain.

Anger was already burning in his chest, and he roared:
"Boy, if I had known earlier, I would have killed you at all costs in Wuhun City!"

At the end of the Continental Spirit Master Competition, Tang Hao showed up and rescued Tang San. But when he left, he wanted to kill Dai Yao. At that time, the seven titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall were temporarily suppressed by Tang Hao. Fortunately, Jian Douluo took action to stop Tang Hao. Otherwise, Dai Yao would have to expose the Chaos Green Lotus if he wanted to survive.

"So I will kill you now, and I will also kill your son, Tang San."

Dai Yao said with a smile, not hiding his murderous intent at all.

There is an irreconcilable blood feud between him and Tang San and his son. Either you die or I die.

As soon as he finished speaking, a purple figure jumped out from beside Dai Yao and returned to Di Tian.

Zi Ji glared at Dai Yao. She realized that she had been fooled by Dai Yao for so long. Dai Yao's so-called negotiation was just to delay time. And she foolishly believed him. Not only that, she almost lost her virginity to him. But Sister Bi Ji...

Thinking of this, Zi Ji gritted her teeth, looked at Bi Ji who was still beside Dai Yao, and said through her teeth:

"Sister Biji, he has lied to us for so long, we must make him pay the price! Come back quickly!"

Hearing this, Tang Hao looked at Dai Yao in a daze. Only then did he understand that the woman next to Dai Yao was actually a ferocious beast that was hundreds of thousands of years old! But why was Dai Yao here, and her relationship with the ferocious beasts was not simple.

Many soul beasts looked at Biji, wanting to know Biji's choice. Before, everyone was deceived by Dai Yao, so they sent Biji and Ziji to please Dai Yao, but now Dai Yao has revealed his true face, and Biji should return to the soul beast family.

However, Brigitte still stood beside Dai Yao, without moving.

"Do you want to go back?"

Dai Yao let go of Brigitte's hand from her waist and asked with a smile.

Brigitte was a little confused.

Only then did she understand the meaning of what Dai Yao had said to her a few days ago. No matter what happened, Dai Yao's promise would not change.

She belongs to the soul beast clan, but she also hopes that humans and soul beasts can coexist peacefully. And Dai Yao is the key to achieving this goal.

Although she knew very well that staying with Dai Yao was an extremely risky move, because it meant that she betrayed the soul beast clan, but Di Tian's plan had already failed. Apart from launching a beast tide and fighting to the death with humans, she could only surrender to humans.

At this point, she should get closer to Dai Yao, understand and change his attitude towards soul beasts. Of course, if Dai Yao chooses to attack soul beasts, she will return to the soul beast clan without hesitation.

Brigitte took a deep breath, scanned the faces of the beasts one by one, and finally paused for a moment on Di Tian's face, whose emotions could not be seen clearly, and said slowly:

"No, no need."

Just four words made the entire lake of life calm.

"Sister Biji, why are you like this?! Don't let him bewitched you!"

Zi Ji was extremely anxious.

Biji is not only the most ferocious beast in the Xingdou Great Forest after Emperor Tian, ​​but also the benefactor of countless soul beasts. Her choice to stay with Dai Yao is a huge loss to the entire soul beast clan.

Many fierce beasts were also very puzzled. The Red King wanted to persuade him again, but was stopped by Di Tian.

After taking a deep look at Brigitte, Di Tian said in a deep voice:
"Biji, this is your choice, I have nothing to say. If it weren't for my misjudgment, you wouldn't have been sent to Dai Yao."

Brigitte bowed slightly, which was considered as revealing the matter.

Immediately, Di Tian fixed his gaze firmly on Dai Yao. The overwhelming pressure froze the entire Lake of Life. He said in a deep voice:

"Dai Yao, I have to admit that I underestimated you. This time I failed. If this human hadn't come to the Xingdou Great Forest in time, I would still be in the dark. I might not even realize it when your plan is completed, and I might still be there feeling proud of myself."

"Now that things have come to this, are you ready to launch a beast tide?"

Dai Yao's face straightened and he asked solemnly.

But Di Tian did not answer. Instead, he stared at Dai Yao with burning eyes and said:

"The disappearance of Xiong Jun should have a lot to do with you."

Dai Yao did not hide it. Di Tian was certain that Xiong Jun’s disappearance was related to him, so he simply admitted it openly.

"Yes, I killed the bear king, and its soul bone is still in my hands."

Upon hearing this, all the soul beasts looked at the dark gold terror claw bear soul bone in Dai Yao's hand and felt as if they were struck by lightning.

The sharp aura of the Bear King could not be faked. The Bear King was a powerful beast in the Xingdou Great Forest, second only to Emperor Tian in strength. Although the Bear King was not second in terms of cultivation, its powerful attack power shocked all the soul beasts.

Now, Xiong Jun died at the hands of Dai Yao without even making any noise. This was too hard to believe.

What was even more shocking was Biji and Ziji. They had been by Dai Yao's side all the time these days. Even if they were separated, it would only be for a few minutes. If it was Dai Yao who killed Xiong Jun, then it meant that Dai Yao had to kill a strong man second only to Di Tian within a few minutes.

I'm afraid even Di Tian can't do this.

After hearing Dai Yao's answer, Di Tian still felt a little dizzy even though he was already prepared.

Xiong Jun died just like that?!

"Dai Yao, I didn't expect that I still underestimated you. The death of the Bear King is a huge blow to us soul beasts. We soul beasts should be rational and surrender to you humans. However, rather than letting the soul beasts die slowly, it is better to give it a try."

"If you want peace, you have to fight!"

Emperor Tian said firmly.

Di Tian slowly rose into the air, and invisible waves slowly spread out. In the forest far away from the Lake of Life, the roars of soul beasts continued to be heard. The ocean of soul beasts, like a vast ocean, was slowly gathering!
Dai Yao sighed softly. He absolutely could not let Di Tian launch the beast tide. Without knowing whether Bibi Dong was ready, he had to delay and whispered:
"I can only use my last trump card. I hope that after I play this trump card, Bibi Dong will be ready to defend against the beast tide..."

As he spoke, the golden trident instantly fell into Dai Yao's hands. The power of the sea god broke through the shackles of the ground and hit the ice silkworm that had been imprisoned for ten thousand years.

"Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, if you don't come out now, when will you come out?!"

Dai Yao looked at the Lake of Life and shouted.

After hearing Dai Yao's words, Di Tian realized something instantly and shouted:
"not good."

A vast spiritual wave rose from the bottom of the Lake of Life straight into the sky, almost enveloping the entire Star Forest. A clear voice mixed with a little bit of stupidity, with the ecstasy of being finally saved after suffering a lot of torture, laughed loudly:

"Dai Yao, brother is here!" (End of this chapter)
