Chapter 242: Little Princess Appear
Chapter 242: Little Princess Appear
When everyone heard the words of Tang Wulin, to say they were shocked would be an understatement. As the meaning of his words, can be interpreted in many ways but considering his personality?
He might actually mean, having Dai Yun'er ruler over the Star Luo Empire!
"What?" Questioned Dai Yun'er who was still shocked.
"Ruling the Star Luo Empire, are you interested?" Questioned Tang Wulin in a cheery tone.
"Me?"
"Yes, you."
Dai Yun'er trembles as she knew she didn't hear wrong.
"But why-"
"You asked us to help you fix the Star Luo situation, which at the moment is a lot more complicated than originally. But when looking from another angle, it makes the operation of saving this empire even easier."Said Tang Wulin causing her and the others to furrow their brow.
"What do you mean?" Questioned Wu Zhankong causing Tang Wulin to chuckle.
"The key problem is that the position of the ruler is still being debated over, right?"
"From what we know, yes." Said Mu Xi with a nod of her head.
"Well, what better way to put an end to this long debate than Dai Yun'er proclaiming herself as Queen of the Empire. While additionally using this as a way to completely draw everyone out."Said Tang Wulin causing everyone's eyes to widen.
If Dai Yun'er came out and proclaim herself as the ruler of the empire, this would throw the palace hall into an even bigger uproar. This would cause even more people who were hidden to come out, as they would be anxious about the possibility of her becoming the ruler.
Especially when they find out, the people who were supporting her and the power behind her. After all, who would be a better candidate than the person who had the support of multiple Limit Douluo, Shrek and the Tang Sect?
"This..."
"Isn't this a bit dangerous?" Questioned Yue Zhengyu.
"You are right, it will be risky. Especially since we would have to bet on the Evil Soul Master reaction and also the figurehead."Said Tang Wulin as he glances at Dai Yun'er who had her head down.
While this will draw people out of the shadows, it will also bring Dai Yun'er many unknown dangers. With some of the people disregarding everything and coming to kill her right in the open.
Whether or not she would be fully protected was up for debate, as they didn't know how many people were hidden in the shadow. Not only that but the Holy Spirit Cult might make there move, adding to the trouble.
"Will this lower the amount of death?" Questioned Dai Yun'er causing Yu Zhengyu to tremble.
"This will allow this farce to end sooner." Said Tang Wulin causing Dai Yun'er to tremble before she raises her head, eyes sparkling with determination.
"I will do it!"
"Perfect." Said Tang Wulin as a big grin sprouted on his face, causing all who saw to shiver.
"...You promise you wouldn't destroy the country."Said Zang Xin with his lips twitching.
"I'm not going to destroy it. I'm just going to overturn and conquer it."Said Tang Wulin causing everyone's lips to twitch.
'Isn't that the same thing!' Thought Zang Xin with a sigh but he didn't go against it.
As at least this plan would be straightforward and quick to the point. As in all honesty, they didn't have time to squander on Star Luo Empire.
Zang Xin and the others were worried about the Douluo Continent and the activity of the Calamity.
"Alright, let's get ready." Said Chen Xinjie with a shake of the head, as he knew this plan was crazy enough, that it might just work.

Star Luo Empire was bustling with buzzing noise as people move through the streets, going on with their business. Yet there was an uneasy, anxious mood that was reverberating through the streets.
This came from the people of the empire, as they were all still impacted by the attack of Jormungandr. With some of them not wishing to leave the safety of their house and others already escaping from the city.
But most of the people stayed in the city for various reasons, yet the most prevalent was their faith in the Emperor, Dai Tianlen. Even after the events that happened years ago with Shrek, the people still didn't lose their faith in him.
All of the people of the Star Luo Empire felt that as long as Emperor Dai Tianlen was still around, everything would be fine. As this was their emperor who was believed to come from a bloodline of gods.
With the god being Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, although the godly power in their bloodline had died out. It still didn't change the fact, that they came from such a divine bloodline and must have some fortune to help with his rule.
Yet to their confusion they haven't seen his appearance, which was a surprise them as the last time they saw him was before the attack. They all expected, the Emperor to come out and calm them down but there was no news of that.
It was only after being told that the Emperor was injured that the people found out why. As there was no way, the imperial officials and the royal family could keep such a topic like this a secret.
The people raised many questions from how he was doing to, is he getting better soon and who was the standing emperor. Yet the government simply told them to be patient, everything will be fine and didn't answer most of the questions.
While the people were all dissatisfied, they didn't make up a fuss and simply waited for the return of their Emperor.
The Emperor that hasn't shown up in months.
"We're doing this again?" Questioned one of the Imperial Officials as he stands in the royal palace, with countless other people around him.
All of the people beside him was apart of the Imperial Official fractions, who believed the crown prince wasn't fit for the rule. After all, how could a person who wasn't even in his late twenties be able to manage such a massive empire?
Even though the crown prince, Dai Yueyan was a strong soul master, he didn't have much training in managing the kingdom affair. It wasn't wrong to say, that he has spent most of the time cultivating than actually being the crown prince.
So how could they give control of the empire and its people to a person like that?
On the other side of the palace was the Royal Fractions, with Dai Yueyan and the other members of the Monster Academy.
"Shut up." Said Long Yue as he glared at the imperial official who spoked out, causing him to flinch.
"You! Do you know who you're talking to!"Shouted the Imperial official while moving behind one of the Title Douluo guards next to him.
Long Yue only sneered but he didn't generate any movements, as the situation at the moment was tense. He would give anything to be able to rush over and beat these traitorous Imperial Officials, but that would just cause a huge fight.
While he wouldn't mind such a thing, he knew it would only end up badly for everyone. Still, he felt his blood boiling as his thoughts began fluctuating on whether he should care or not.
It was then he felt a hand on his shoulder causing him to glance to the side to see, a middle-age man holding him. The meaning was clear, calm down, we can't put any more pressure on the crown prince.
Long Yue furrowed his brows before glancing at Dai Yueyan who was staring ahead, with a stoic look before sighing. Seeing Long Yue calm down, Huang Zhengyang let out a sigh as he stared in front with a complicated look.
'Something has to change.' Thought Huang Zhengyang as he knew the state of the empire and the continent was getting worse by the days.
Being one of the pillars of the Empire, he was able to get a report on the entire region and it was unsettling. As it seems the Holy Spirit Cult was still hunting down the Tang Sect and Spirit Pagoda, even after they raided the base.
Huang Zhengyang wanted to swiftly gather the empire army and the people to mount a campaign against them. As he knew that the Holy Spirit Cult attack wouldn't end with just the destruction of the Tang Sect and Spirit Pagoda.
But they would mount an attack on them too, as they hated everyone that wasn't with them.
'Yet these people rather sit here and debate who should be the ruler.' Thought Huang Zhengyang in annoyance before sighing.
'Just where did you go, Elder En Ci?'
Dai Yueyan uttered nothing as he stared at the imperial official in front of him. How much he wanted to go and beat all of them up but he knew better.
'Who? Who is it?' Thought Dai Yuayan as he tried to identify anyone suspicious or out of place as he moved his gaze.
It didn't take him or the others long to feel something wasn't right. As the past action of the Imperial Officials and the people that allied them was too much of a coincidence.
After a bit of thinking, they all concluded that someone must have help kicked off this situation. Whoever it was, that person was able to use the Imperial official's views on Dai Yueyan's lack of training to help create this split in the empire.
He was sure the Imperial officials understand this too, which was why they were all being careful to not do anything drastic. As they too didn't like the feeling of being pawns to someone else, especially in there own home.
But that still wouldn't stop them from preventing Dai Yueyan ascension to the throne.
Because of this thinking, they have been doing nothing but bickering for these past months. It wasn't wrong to say that they were all sick and tired of it.
'If nothing is done, drastic actions may be taken.' Thought Dai Yueyan as his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Well, let's get on with this." Said one of the Title Douluo on the official sides as he knew nothing was going to happen this time.
He has already been through tens of these meeting and yet nothing seems to happen. It was starting to become tiring for him causing him to feel like he should leave this empire.
"Fine, let's start this. Who shall become the substituting ruler, in place of his majesty?"Questioned the Ceremonial Lord with a sigh.
As he was waiting for the two sides to shout they will, but at that moment, a loud and clear voice came from afar.
"Wait! Who are you! This place is off limit!"
"I should be in there."
"You should be there! Who do you think-"
"Wait! You are!"
When this conversation was heard by everyone, they all went silent before they looked towards the source of the voice.
The door that was leading to the royal hall was being open, with it parting ways and allowing everyone to see.
"You!"
"She is still alive!"
"Did she escape to Douluo Continent?"
"But why is she back?"
There were all types of commotions going about as everyone saw the woman with golden hair walking past the door.
Yet the biggest commotion was the large shout that rang out.
"Sister!" Shouted Dai Yueyan who had his eyes widen, as he saw the sister that he thought was dead for months.
It wasn't just him but everyone had their gaze on the little princess. That was called the witch of Star Luo appearing in front of them.
