Chapter 253 The Place Where Little White Undergoes Tribulation
"We'll discuss this properly..." The representative of the Star Luo Empire hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"As for Shrek Academy, I have a deal. What do you think? If you agree, I will release a portion of my knowledge in exchange. Of course, if you don't agree, that's fine too. Useless hostages can be killed."
What seemed like a casual remark put immense pressure on Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei. They dared not respond to Luo Yu's words, because they had no idea which of Luo Yu's words truly reflected his intentions.
It's possible that Luo Yu's original intention was to kill, or perhaps he needed to use hostages as a bargaining chip...
"Please be frank, sir. If the deal is suitable, Shrek Academy will consider it carefully," Huo Yuhao said cautiously.
Luo Yu said, "The last exchange and learning collaboration with your esteemed school was very successful, so His Majesty has decided to continue this exchange program. However, this time the exchange and learning plan needs to be rearranged. This is the plan formulated by our Ruyue Empire. If Shrek Academy finds it acceptable, we can release some hostages as a token of our sincerity."
Not all hostages will be released unless you are willing to pay a high enough price.
…………
The subsequent talks went very smoothly, so smoothly that Luo Yu himself did not need to be present. The subsequent talks were entirely handled by Lu Jiuyu and Rachel.
These two heartless bastards went even further to secure more compensation for the Sun Moon Empire. Although they displayed the magnanimity of a great power like Luo, it must be said that they surpassed their predecessors.
"You really trust those two guys that much, Captain?" Yan Lingshu looked at Luo Yu with a complicated expression.
Luo Yu nodded and said, "The injuries inflicted by a peak Douluo are not easy to heal, even with timely treatment. The Sun Moon Empire needs someone to inherit my position, and it also needs someone to uphold the banner of the new generation for His Majesty after something happens to me. So I believe in them, and I believe in you."
"But Captain, you've done so much already. Are you sure your injuries are alright...?"
Yan Lingshu looked at Luo Yu with some heartache as his originally rosy complexion slowly turned pale. The young man who had supported the Sun Moon Empire still had injuries that had not yet fully healed.
"It's alright, you'll be fine after a few days of rest. That's just how things are lately. As for your family, I've received the latest news from His Majesty. He has temporarily abandoned the purge plan. If nothing unexpected happens, His Majesty will most likely adopt a appeasement strategy. As long as they don't go too far, His Majesty won't pursue the matter." Luo Yu stood atop Maple Leaf City, looking down into the distance.
"Captain, do you have someone you like?" Yan Lingshu asked shyly, biting her red lips.
Luo Yu laughed and said, "What, you want to repay me with your body?"
"Captain, why don't you consider me?" Yan Lingshu blushed. It was hard not to be moved by the young man in front of her.
Luo Yu extended a finger and tapped her brow: "What are you thinking about? The Sun Moon Empire is currently facing pressure from the three great empires and Shrek Academy. How can I have time to consider these sentimental matters? As long as I am your captain, I will always be your captain. The road ahead is long, why jump to conclusions so early?"
"I, I, I understand..." Yan Lingshu was not disappointed; she had known all along that this would be the outcome.
"I told you, the captain is an impeccable person. Think about it, back then the captain was already the undisputed number one among the younger generation of the Sun Moon Empire. What kind of situation hasn't he experienced?" Fang Wei said, looking at the two people standing on the city wall from afar.
"It's just a pity about Yan Lingshu. Of all the people she could like, she had to fall for the captain. The captain's ambitions have never been just about simple romantic love. Moreover, he didn't even care about the granddaughter of the hall master. He was even the current empress's junior. If we really have to talk about it, perhaps the captain won't start thinking about his own affairs until the Sun Moon Empire completely takes control of Douluo Continent?" Sheng Hongyun carefully pondered Luo Yu's words.
"Sigh, although I don't know how Yan Lingshu feels, I think the captain's feelings are actually more complicated." Jing Peng didn't say much, but his thoughts seemed to be on a different level.
Sheng Hongyun asked, "You mean...?"
"In fact, the captain has really sacrificed too much for the empire. From the previous Experiment No. 2, to leading us to win the championship in the competition, and even winning the championship in the black market competition and obtaining the Sun and Moon Divine Needle, and later capturing almost all the elites of the three empires during the competition, and even later piloting Experiment No. 2 to intercept Xuan Lao, the peak Douluo of Shrek Academy."
"Any one of these things would be astonishing if it happened to anyone in the Sun Moon Empire, but they all happened to the captain like miracles. The captain carries too many hopes, and the pressure on him does not allow him to stop. The captain's talent is not actually top-notch, but his wisdom far surpasses his strength."
"Perhaps decades from now, we all have the potential to become Title Douluo, but decades from now, the things the captain will have to take over will be even more than they are now. Mingde Hall, Gongfeng Hall, the imperial court, and the military. These places are all waiting for the captain to take over. The reason the captain brought us along is that he doesn't want anyone in the Sun Moon Empire to be able to take over everything in a short period of time if something unexpected happens one day."
Luo Yu is a legend, the beacon of hope for the Sun Moon Empire!
However, all of these things are heavy burdens on Luo Yu's shoulders. Once Luo Yu falls, the current situation will return to the way it was in the past.
Even though the current situation has laid a good foundation for them, it will still take time for this foundation to take root and flourish.
"Let's go back, or those guys will keep eavesdropping for who knows how long."
Luo Yu didn't say anything more. With his abilities, he was naturally able to hear Jing Peng and the others' conversation.
………………
The far north.
Su Yu looked at the shrunken Snow Empress and slowly asked, "Snow Empress? Or my daughter?"
"Yes, hehe." Little Snow Girl greedily huddled under Su Yu's sleeve, as if the wind and snow of the far north made her feel cold.
"You want Xiaobai to come with you because you're not sure if he can survive the tribulation that lasts for 300,000 years, right? Even if I give all the Frost Jade Marrow to Xiaobai, his tribulation will still be quite dangerous. For soul beasts, it's never a heavenly tribulation, but a divine punishment. If the day of tribulation really comes, I think there are still some ways to help Xiaobai."
Su Yu reached out and patted the still-speeding Little White, asking, "Good grandson, would you like to go play in the human world?"
"Yes, of course I want to!" Xiaobai replied excitedly.
"If you get to the human world, you'd better listen to your mother and grandmother, or your mother will send you back to the northern lands," Xue Di chimed in.
"I will be good and promise not to cause trouble for Mom and Grandma." Xiaobai nodded obediently.
Three days later, in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Gentlemen, it's been a long time." Powerful auras gathered continuously in the Star Dou Great Forest, and as familiar figures appeared, the terrifying auras subsided.
"Wait, are you the Ice Bear King of the Far North?" Brigitte frowned slightly as she looked at the enormous white bear.
"Who are you?" Little White asked Brigitte curiously.
"Ahem, excuse me for interrupting, I'm here to see Di Tian. We can catch up after I'm done with my work." Su Yu quickly approached Bi Ji.
Lake of Life.
"This place is so familiar. It seems like it was five years ago when I last came here." Looking at the familiar place in front of him, Su couldn't help but sigh.
"You seem to have learned a lot more after your trip to the far north?" Di Tian asked Su Yu slowly.
Su Yu nodded and continued, "About tens of thousands of years ago, an ice silkworm that was over a million years old left from the far north and later fell into the Star Dou Great Forest. You eventually raised it and used its cultivation as your nourishment. However, during a later upheaval, this ice silkworm escaped."
"How did you find out about this?" Di Tian asked, puzzled. He didn't know how Su Yu knew about such a secret matter.
Su Yu stroked his chin and said, "How should I put it? To explain how I found out about this, I'd have to go back six or seven years."
"Six or seven years ago, I came to the Star Dou Great Forest once. When one of my companions, who was a mental type, was absorbing a spirit ring, I suddenly fainted. Then, a year later, my companion displayed a spirit with both mental and ice attributes, and the ice spirit was the Ice Jade Scorpion. The Ice Jade Scorpion cannot appear as a human spirit unless it is a spirit beast that has been reborn. But when I obtained the spirit beast embryo last time, I discovered that the source of the propylene ability that I copied came from the Ice Emperor."
"So, I roughly guessed that the Ice Empress had already transformed into a human's spirit ring. Moreover, this time I went to the far north and learned something about that ice silkworm, which allowed me to roughly summarize this matter. However, I'm very curious about one thing: who exactly is the spirit beast overlord that the Snow Empress mentioned?"
Di Tian was taken aback, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes as he looked at Su Yu. "What else do you know?"
Su Yu chuckled, "I know that the Snow Empress knows, and I know that too. If the information about the Snow Empress is correct, it should be the Silver Dragon King, the avatar of the Dragon God after his fall, right?"
"You're right." Di Tian slowly lowered his hand.
"I have two things to do this time. The first is that the Ice Silkworm is in a human named Huo Yuhao. The second is to ask you to let Xiaobai undergo tribulation in your Star Dou Great Forest. The Star Dou Great Forest has the blessing of the Emperor Beast, making it relatively easy to undergo tribulation. So I want Xiaobai to undergo tribulation in the Star Dou Great Forest." Su Yu stated his purpose directly.
"Little White? That 300,000-year-old Ice Bear King?" Di Tian asked.
"Please be patient with him while he undergoes his tribulation, senior."
No one can be more reliable than Di Tian. If Xiao Bai had Di Tian as his protector during his tribulation, I'd like to see who would dare to cause trouble.
This was Su Yu's plan. After all, Di Tian was that person's spokesperson, and she certainly didn't want her people to suffer such a change.
"I see."
…………
"Grandma, what did you say to Di Tian?" Xiao Bai asked curiously.
Su Yu replied, "You need someone to watch over you during your tribulation, so Grandma found Di Tian to help you. You can focus on your tribulation now. Also, here's a piece of ten-thousand-year-old Frost Jade Marrow. Grandpa is giving it to you as a gift. Take it, don't be shy."
As he spoke, Su Yu tossed a large piece of Frost Jade Marrow to Xiao Bai. As soon as Xiao Bai saw the large piece of Frost Jade Marrow, its eyes lit up, and it hugged it tightly in its arms as if it had seen a treasure.
"Did you give them all to Xiaobai?" Xue Di asked in the Sea of Spirit.
"No, I kept a little. Your successor is about to undergo tribulation, and I estimate it will be useful. The new master of the far north can't have such a difficult time." Calculating the time, Titan Snow Demon King's tribulation is also coming soon, but it will be at least a little later than Xiaobai's.
"How did you know that Atai was also going to undergo tribulation?" Xue Di asked in surprise.
Su Yu thought for a moment and then said, "This is a secret. I'll tell you later."
"Little White, let's go, I'll take you to a fun place."
Shrek City.
"Do you think we should really agree to the Sun Moon Empire's proposal for exchange and learning?" Elder Xuan asked with some difficulty.
"This, this..." Yan Shaozhe was in pain, but he had to admit that they had no choice but to agree.
"Elder Xuan, if we don't agree, the Sun Moon Empire will probably immediately publish the details of our negotiations on this matter, then kill some people, letting the people of the three great empires know that it's not that they're refusing to release the people, but that Shrek Academy is abandoning the elites of the three great empires to protect its own interests. In that case, I'm afraid we'll be..." Xian Lin'er couldn't continue; she knew this was a blatant conspiracy.
Either Shrek Academy signs this humiliating treaty, or Shrek Academy sacrifices some of the elites of the three great empires for its own benefit!
If Shrek doesn't accept this humiliating treaty, the Sun Moon Empire will start killing people. Once the first group dies, it's only a matter of time before the second group dies.
When panic begins to spread, it is the beginning of a crisis of trust.
The three great empires had no choice, and so did Shrek Academy!
This was the price they paid for their decision to conquer Mingdu. If Su Yu's clone hadn't been able to take charge, Su Yu's parents would have died in Mingdu this time as well.
Su Yu didn't care about the lives or deaths of the people in the three great empires. He was neither a saint nor a saint!
In this world of mutual scheming, all Su Yu can do is to remain untainted.
I almost forgot about Xiaobai...
