Douluo: Starting from the engagement with Zhu Zhuqing.

Chapter 8 Engagement

"Spare your life! Please spare your life, Fourth Prince!"

"The Fourth Prince has a lot of people, please spare us!"

"The little one deserves to die, the little one deserves to die..."

Several eunuchs were laid on their backs and their buttocks were beaten with wooden sticks by several warriors until their skin and flesh were torn. Several eunuchs had fainted from the pain, and the rest were still begging Dai Yao for mercy and begging to let them go.

When he was bullied by them before, Dai Yao wanted to kill them, but now that these eunuchs were beaten black and blue, he felt nothing in his heart.

Behind them is the Queen, and Dai Yao's real enemy is also the Queen. Getting rid of these minions is not a loss to the Queen.

He just wanted to breathe.

Years of bullying formed a knot in his heart. After the resentment in his heart was released, he felt much more relaxed.

"Your Highness, are you satisfied now?" Eunuch Gui asked with a smile.

"Now that these people have tasted the bad consequences, let them go and drive them out of the palace." Dai Yao replied.

"Then it will be as His Highness said."

Dai Yao was not a generous person, so he drove these eunuchs out of the palace and left them to fend for themselves. Not only did they lose their royal status, they had no relatives, they were also inhumane, and their living conditions were worrying.

Moreover, people with different bodies will be discriminated against and bullied.

"Let you experience my past life." Dai Yao thought silently in his heart.

After he ate some food and his complexion improved a little, Gui Gongzheng said: "These people are also our subordinates, and it is because of our poor management that such an appalling thing happened."

"My father-in-law assists your majesty, and there are many things to do. And with so many people in the palace, it is inevitable that there will be some good and bad. Father-in-law, don't worry about it." Dai Yao comforted.

Eunuch Gui got down to business: "The four princes should know that every prince will be engaged to a woman from the Zhu family?"

"I've heard of this family rule."

The White Tiger Martial Spirit can be fused with the Nether Civet Martial Spirit, and their children can also inherit the White Tiger Martial Spirit. Therefore, every generation of Xingluo princes will take daughters from the Zhu family.

"Now there is a girl in the Zhu family, Zhu Zhuqing, who has awakened the Nether Civet Spirit. But now there are two princes who are not married. Therefore, your Majesty means that the two princes will duel, and the winner will get the right to make a marriage contract."

Dai Yao's eyes lit up.

Although it is inhumane to use a marriage contract to bind Zhu Zhuqing for his whole life, in a society like Douluo Continent, there is no such thing as inhumane.

Aristocrats have aristocratic rules.

Dai Yao does not have any noble sentiments, such as opposing the feudal monarchy and establishing a country where everyone is equal.

As a prince, he is a member of the nobility. Revolution means revolutionizing one's own life. In the eyes of nobles, it is normal for two people to enter into a marriage contract without any emotional basis.

As a noble, the marriage contract itself needs to be in line with the interests of the two families, and the opinions of the parties to the marriage contract are not important.

For Dai Yao, as the prince of the Star Luo Empire, once a marriage contract is made, the couple needs to fight together to find a chance to survive.

In the original work, Zhu Zhuqing is not only hot in figure, but also emotionally loyal. Together with Dai Mubai, they worked hard together, and with the help of Tang San, they finally got rid of the fate of Prince Xingluo.

If he missed Zhu Zhuqing, he would not know the appearance or personality of the next marriageable woman. More importantly, he would not be sure whether that woman could support each other and never leave him in difficult days.

Instead of waiting for a woman who doesn’t know her background, it’s better to fight hard and win the engagement!

It's just that this duel is a little troublesome. Dai Mubai's soul power has now reached level seventeen, and he has rich practical combat experience.

And his martial spirit had just awakened. Not only was he three years younger than him, but he had also been malnourished for a long time and was thin. If you fight him, you probably won't win. But thinking about his Bajibeng, there might be a chance of victory.

"Father, I wonder when the duel will start?"

"We'll start after you get your first soul ring." Eunuch Gui replied.

"Today was originally a good day for His Royal Highness to be knighted, but His Majesty ordered that all ceremonies be held after the result of the duel is known."

Eunuch Gui pointed to the silks and treasures on the table and said: "These things are the rewards of the title. From now on, Your Highness's treatment will be adjusted to the prince level. Your Highness can call for food at any time when he is hungry and needs to be summoned." Are there any maids to attend to your daily needs?"

"Need not."

These maids might be spies of the queen, and they might see something they shouldn't see if they come into contact day and night. I don't have the ability to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Moreover, he has a very important secret. Baji Beng, as a trump card in the duel, cannot be exposed. More importantly, his twin martial souls cannot be exposed. Once exposed, there will never be peace.

Eunuch Gui glanced around the cold palace and said, "Your Highness, if you have any needs, you can talk to our family and try to satisfy them as much as possible."

"If I have any needs, I will tell my father-in-law."

After bidding farewell to Eunuch Gui, Dai Yao and Dai Hengyu were the only ones left in the house.

Dai Hengyu said complicatedly: "I didn't expect that your talent is so high, so you can't go to the Presbyterian Church with me."

"Remember, once you embark on the road of fighting for the throne, there is no chance of turning back. Your life is in your own hands. On this road, several princes have come a long way."

"The eldest prince, Davis, is fifteen years old this year. He is the legitimate son of the queen. His current soul power has reached level 31 and he has just obtained his third soul ring."

"The second prince, Dai Yaming, is twelve years old. He is not born to the queen. He is a level 25 battle soul master and is the biggest rival of the eldest prince."

"Third Prince Dai Mubai, nine years old, a seventeenth-level soul master. And you, six years old, have not yet obtained the first soul ring."

After hearing these words, Dai Yao had a clearer understanding of his situation.

Nowadays, the first prince and the second prince are the ones who hope to compete for the throne. Although Dai Yaming is three years younger than Davis, he is more talented than Davis. As he grows older, the gap between him and Davis will only become smaller and smaller.

In the original work, Shi Davis represented the Star Luo Royal Academy, indicating that Dai Yaming failed in the competition with Davis.

Dai Mubai and him seemed to be just making up the numbers. The two are too young. The youngest Dai Yao and Davis are nine years apart. Davis has become a soul master, but he has not yet obtained the first soul ring. The difference in soul power between more than 20 levels is too big.

But the competition for the throne is so cruel, and no preferential treatment will be given just because of the age gap. The world is inherently unfair. If you are truly a genius, then you have proven that your talent is enough to smooth out the age gap.

In the history of the Star Luo Empire, the Emperors of Star Luo who succeeded in defeating the superior were the best in all aspects. When they were the emperors of the Star Luo Empire, they were able to suppress the Tiandou Empire.

In the original work, even after eating the fairy grass Qirui Tongtianju, Dai Mubai's soul power only reached level 44, which was still three levels behind Davis.

It can be seen how difficult it is to complete the bottom and overcome the top.
