Chapter 1304: You Win

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Dai Yun’er had never been afraid of her father. “The rules are only set for the peasants. What’s wrong with a man having many wives? I don’t 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 who’re not as outstanding should be restricted in their rights to obtain a partner. This is natural selection, the survival of the fittest!”
“Nonsense!” After Dai Tianling almost went on a rampage after hearing his daughter’s words. “You! you… ”
“Father, how many women do you have?” Dai Yun’er’s words were like a knife that stabbed into her father’s heart. The emperor that was ready to blow up just moments ago was immediately silenced.
“So you were the one who taught me all this! You’re the most outstanding person in our Star Luo Empire, that’s why you can have many partners. Everybody thinks that this is normal. Similarly, Tang Wulin is also an outstanding person. Why can’t he have more partners?”
Dai Tianling was left speechless by this pettifog and his daughter’s heresies. Dai Yun’er had said nothing wrong in theory. However, he had no idea why it sounded so awkward to him.
“You’re an imperial princess! How can you share your husband with someone else?” Dai Tianling said as he bristled with anger.
Dai Yun’er retorted. “Didn’t 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 you’re loved by people. Do you mean to say that it was all for show?”
“You…”
“Little sister, stop it. Look how angry you’ve made father feel.” Dai Yueyan hastily stepped forward in an attempt to quell the flames.
“Get lost!” Dai Tianling angrily scolded his son.
Dai Yueyan felt wronged. ‘I know you can’t bring yourself to scold your daughter, but your son is innocent as well!’
“Dai Yun’er, 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 won’t say that our empire is a big bully. But now, I’ll 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 heart’s content. I want everyone in the empire to see it. I’ll 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…”
“Or what?” Dai Yun’er looked at her father with a pitiful expression.
Dai Tianling coldly said, “Unless that Tang Wulin can really win the Battle of the Five Gods.” He flapped his sleeves and left.
“Shh, be quiet you little ancestor. You’re the only one who’s daring enough to say something like this.” Dai Yueyan did not know whether he should cry or laugh.
Dai Yun’er said, “Father doesn’t know anything. If Tang Wulin wants me, I don’t care even if I’m a second wife or a concubine. Even if father disagrees, what makes him think that I won’t just elope?”
“Uhh…” Dai Yueyan looked at Dai Yun’er with a speechless expression. “You’re really an extroverted girl! If father hears this, he’ll certainly be sad.”
Dai Yun’er said, “It’s not that I won’t be back. When the rice has turned into porridge, I’ll return with father’s grandson. With the love he has for me, he would have to accept me even if he doesn’t want it.”
“Dai Yun’er!” 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.
“What?” Dai Yun’er started to smile.
“You win!” Dai Yueyan looked at her with a defeated expression.
Dai Yun’er said triumphantly. “I’ve suddenly come round in that instant. I must fight for my own happiness. Tang Wulin, don’t you even think about escaping my clutches. Even if I have to resort to drugs, I’ll make porridge out of your rice. I refuse to believe that you won’t want me when that time comes.”
“Bang!” Dai Yueyan slammed his head onto the wall.
…
“This 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 Sect’s 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 wouldn’t want to miss it.”
“The 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.”
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 students’ textbooks. It was a compulsory subject for every Star Luo citizen.
The pride of Star Luo citizens was Tang Sect’s resurging master, the Spirit Ice Douluo Dai Yuhao. He was from the Star Luo Empire’s royal family and was also Spirit Pagoda’s 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 Empire’s 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.
“What a brilliant move!” After he watched the Imperial TV Station’s 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 Wulin’s identity as the Tang Sect’s 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 Empire’s royal family before this. He had requested that Tang Wulin’s 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 Empire’s 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 Empire’s 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.
