Douluo Dalu: Beginning with Signing in with Yan Lingji

Chapter 182: The Demon Seed, Dai Mubai, You're Finished

"Mu Bai, although a lot has happened recently, and things between you and Zhuqing are no longer possible, we're still friends, aren't we?" Zhao Ming said with a warm smile, as gentle as a spring breeze.

Dai Mubai was momentarily stunned by Zhao Ming's words, but then he inwardly cursed.

Friends? Is this how friends behave?

You stole my fiancée, and now you still have the audacity to call us friends? My face still hurts from your slap a few minutes ago, and now we're friends?

However, he didn't dare to contradict Zhao Ming. The strong were always right; whatever Zhao Ming said was the truth.

"Yes, we're still friends." Dai Mubai forced a smile, extending his hand to shake Zhao Ming's.

"Mu Bai, let's find a quiet place to sit and talk about the future," Zhao Ming suggested with a faint smile.

"Alright." Dai Mubai, despite the grim expression on his face, felt a twinge of excitement. He believed that Zhao Ming was finally going to discuss how to help him become the crown prince of the Star Luo Empire.

As long as he could become the crown prince, he wouldn't need to frequent these places anymore.

The women in such places were all common and unappealing to him.

If he could become a prince, he would have many beautiful women at his disposal. Why live like a stray dog now?

Moreover, if he secured the position of crown prince, even if Zhao Ming's background was strong, he wouldn't be able to fight against him.

At that point, Zhu Zhuqing, his fiancée, would be his once again. His father would never allow the crown princess to stay with another man. No matter how powerful Zhao Ming's background was, it couldn't compare to the Star Luo Empire. Even if it could rival the Star Luo Empire, his supporters wouldn't go against them just for a woman.

Zhu Zhuqing was truly beautiful.

Especially now that he had lost her, he realized just how beautiful she was.

Her slender waist, perfect figure, and long legs—what a stunning girl. If he could have her again, how wonderful it would be.

Zhao Ming noticed the look in Dai Mubai's eyes and smirked inwardly.

Even now, he was still plotting. Did he really think Zhao Ming was a fool?

Dai Mubai's tricks were nothing to Zhao Ming.

Soon, Dai Mubai's life would be in his hands.

In the face of absolute power, everything else was an illusion.

Zhao Ming led Zhu Zhuqing ahead while Dai Mubai followed about three meters behind. Despite his plans, Dai Mubai still felt a deep fear of Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming stopped at a teahouse and requested the most luxurious private room. After ordering tea and snacks, he instructed the staff not to enter without his call.

"Mu Bai, I called you here to settle things between you and Zhuqing," Zhao Ming said with a smile.

"I hope you will no longer pester Zhuqing, and from today on, you and she have nothing to do with each other. If you agree to this, I'll help you secure the position of crown prince," Zhao Ming said as he sipped his tea, watching Dai Mubai with a faint smile.

"Agreed." Dai Mubai agreed without hesitation. Now that Zhuqing liked Zhao Ming and Zhao Ming was so powerful, there was no point in refusing. Even if he disagreed, he wouldn't be able to get close to Zhuqing. As for having no connection with her, that was a delusion; as long as the Dai family existed, Zhu Zhuqing would always be his fiancée.

"Are you sure?" Zhao Ming asked with a smile.

"I'm sure. As long as you help me, I'll have no connection with Zhuqing," Dai Mubai said firmly.

"Very well." Zhao Ming nodded with a smile.

Since Dai Mubai had said so, Zhao Ming could now proceed with annulling the engagement with Zhu Zhuqing without any concerns.

After all, Dai Mubai had already severed ties with her. Zhuqing could reciprocate his indifference, and she would feel no guilt.

Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained calm, but there was a hint of relief in her eyes. When she looked at Dai Mubai now, there was no emotion—just as if she were looking at a stranger.

However, Dai Mubai still didn't realize Zhao Ming was setting him up. He was only excited, anticipating the surprise Zhao Ming would bring.

"If you want to secure the position of crown prince, you'll need a powerful cultivation level. Only with enough strength can you defeat Davis and take the title from him," Zhao Ming said casually.

"You can boost my cultivation?" Dai Mubai's eyes lit up with excitement as he looked at Zhao Ming. Since Zhao Ming had said this, he must have a way to help him. Given how strong Zhao Ming was at such a young age, Dai Mubai believed Zhao Ming must possess some special method.

It could be a secret technique or a treasure. Whatever it was, as long as he could obtain it, his strength would increase dramatically.

"I do have something that can significantly enhance your power. With your current level, absorbing it could directly push you to level forty. Once you absorb a soul ring, you could become a Soul Ancestor."

"Really?" Dai Mubai took a deep breath, his eyes filled with excitement as he looked at Zhao Ming.

"Of course. In fact, I estimate that after absorbing your fourth soul ring, you could gain a few more levels, potentially reaching level forty-two or forty-three as a Soul Ancestor." Zhao Ming smiled as he pulled out a small purple-red pill from his storage soul tool.

The pill was about the size of a thumb, emitting a faint crimson aura, with an intense energy fluctuation emanating from it.

This pill was called the Demon Seed, a specialty of Zi Ji's Hell Dragon lineage.

When Zhao Ming planned to control Dai Mubai, he had consulted Zi Ji for a solution. She had provided him with the perfect answer.

This Demon Seed was a unique product of the Hell Dragons. It could be the most potent poison or the best tonic.

Any being that consumed the Demon Seed could absorb its powerful energy and become stronger. However, given that it originated from the Hell Dragons, it wasn't easy to digest. The Demon Seed also contained intense demonic energy and a murderous aura. Once ingested, these energies would destroy the consumer's organs, leading to a quick death.

Moreover, this specific Demon Seed was from Zi Ji.

Given Zi Ji's power, there was no way Dai Mubai could survive after consuming it.

However, Zhao Ming had asked Zi Ji to seal the demonic energy and murderous aura within the Demon Seed. As long as the seal remained, Dai Mubai would be safe after consuming it. But the moment Zi Ji released the seal, Dai Mubai's life would be over.

Once Dai Mubai consumed the Demon Seed, Zhao Ming would have the power to end his life whenever he pleased.

Dai Mubai would no longer escape his control.
