Meng Shu Had Drifted Through Half His Life, Regretting Only That He Had Never Met a Wise Lord. Today... (Please Vote, Recommend, and Follow)

When Lin Feng's voice rang out, Dragon Duke Meng Shu dropped to his knees without the slightest hesitation.

"I, Meng Shu, have drifted through half my life, regretting only that I never met a wise lord. If you do not disdain me today, my lord, I am willing to serve you like a horse or dog!"

"So am I."

Lin Feng: "..."

Watching the Dragon Duke and Snake Dowager kneel one after the other as if they intended to acknowledge him as their master, Lin Feng's mind briefly froze. He had no idea what was going on.

This was not really Lin Feng's fault. In his previous life, he had been born on the relatively peaceful Blue Star. After transmigrating to the Douluo world, the timeline he found himself in was after Dou San.

After Dou San, regardless of what happened in the shadows, relative peace was still maintained on the surface. Scenes of people killing each other at the slightest disagreement were rare.

But this was Dou Yi, an era when soul masters were still growing wildly and the two great empires remained weak!

In the Dou Yi timeline, especially at this point when Spirit Hall had not yet forcefully entered the stage, the entire soul master world openly operated by the law of the jungle. Soul Sages like Zhao Wuji and Flender had long since stained their hands with countless lives. Even Shrek Academy's training had its students experience what it felt like to kill.

The Dragon Duke and Snake Dowager also thought first of recruiting talented people whenever they encountered them. If recruitment failed, they would develop killing intent toward those geniuses. It could be said that the entire Dou Yi era was a completely lawless world ruled by the strong.

And in a lawless world, if you accidentally offended a powerful person, the outcome was easy to imagine.

Even if the offense had only been verbal, in an era with almost no legal restraints—or rather, an era where laws could not restrain powerful soul masters—you either died or became a dog and begged for forgiveness. There was no third option.

Had this been the Dou Er era, things would not have come to this. Every empire by then had Titled Douluo, and aside from Shrek possessing sufficient strength, no one could completely disregard the law.

But unfortunately, this was Dou Yi. Even existences like the Dragon Duke and Snake Dowager, who could barely contend with the combat strength of a Titled Douluo, could only surrender quickly when facing someone they could not defeat. There was no powerful nation behind them to protect them, and they themselves did not think much of the Imperial Family.

There was no helping it. The two great empires of the Dou Yi era simply had no Titled Douluo.

The weakness of the nations meant the laws were meaningless. If they were killed today, then they were simply killed. The matter would end there, and people might even sing Lin Feng's praises, because in Dou Yi, Titled Douluo were justice.

As someone born after Dou San, Lin Feng understood the law of the jungle. But since he had few rivals in this era and had never truly been anyone's prey, he found it difficult to understand why the Dragon Duke and Snake Dowager had knelt so quickly.

However, Lin Feng's confusion looked entirely different in the eyes of the Dragon Duke and Snake Dowager.

They did not know that Lin Feng was not from this era. Gritting their teeth, they directly pulled Meng Yiran forward.

"My lord, this is my granddaughter, Meng Yiran. I beg you to allow her to serve you, as proof of our loyalty!"

Dragon Duke Meng Shu spoke with tears in his eyes. He loved this granddaughter most dearly, but when faced with absolute power and the question of whether his family would survive, he could not spare even his granddaughter.

They did not dare resist. They would never dare resist in this lifetime!

The martial souls of him and the Snake Dowager could at most fight Titled Douluo around rank ninety-one or ninety-two, and even then, they could not win.

But Tang Hao from before, as well as the Titan Giant Ape that had just fled—was either one not stronger than an ordinary rank ninety-five Titled Douluo? Yet both had run faster than rabbits. Those who knew would think Lin Feng was fighting the Clear Sky Douluo and the King of the Forest; those who did not would think he was kicking two stray dogs by the roadside.

Lin Feng had suppressed them from start to finish. Even the Clear Sky Hammer could not harm his body. If they truly fought him, the two of them would not even be able to flee. They would just be two corpses by the roadside.

"This servant, Meng Yiran, is willing to be Master's horse or dog and obey all of Master's commands." Seeing her grandfather offer her up, Meng Yiran was not surprised. Born into a great family, she naturally understood how to protect herself and preserve her family when facing an unbeatable force.

"There is no need for this. What happened before was no great matter." Lin Feng waved his hand, signaling for them to rise.

Sensing no sarcasm or hidden mockery in Lin Feng's voice, the three finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, they did not relax too much. After all, they faced a man who could slap them to death without taking a scratch. After a brief moment of thought, the Dragon Duke stepped forward.

"My lord, if you do not disdain her, please allow Yiran to become your slave concubine." Although Lin Feng said he did not care, Meng Shu did not dare believe that Lin Feng truly did not care. This was a principle he had upheld from childhood into old age.

Lin Feng looked at Meng Yiran. Seeing that she had a fairly good appearance and figure, he nodded. "Fine."

Lin Feng did not refuse Meng Shu's proposal for one simple reason: he would not let the lower half control the upper half, but that did not mean he did not have a lower half.

No matter what, Lin Feng lived in a world that could not be called absolutely safe. Unless one held a completely fixed script in hand, who could guarantee that they would not suddenly die in some accident?

If one spent every day doing nothing but cultivating, finally became strong, then was suddenly killed by someone stronger or died in an accident, looking back on that life would be far too miserable.

Therefore, delicious food, beautiful women, and all beautiful things were what Lin Feng pursued. Since the ending was not fixed, the best scenery he could enjoy along the way was one of his pursuits.

Whether studying or cultivating, it was all for a better life, not to continue studying and cultivating forever.

As for devoting oneself solely to cultivation while ignoring everything else, Lin Feng could only sneer. That nonsense might fool idiots, but it would not fool him. As a soul with the mind of an adult, Lin Feng had always possessed his own judgment.

It was like how some idiots in his previous life loved imagining and praising wealthy people for being so refined, free from vulgar interests, as if they had evolved into some saintly species.

In reality, as long as someone was human, they liked the same things: beautiful women, delicious food, better houses. That was all.

Some people might have already enjoyed beauties to their heart's content in private, then wiped the oil from their mouths and came out to brag to starving men, claiming those things were nothing special and uninteresting, that reading and cultivating one's character were better.

After enjoying themselves, they still tried to fool poor fools who had never even touched a goddess's high heels, and a bunch of idiots actually believed them.

Those people never stopped to consider it. Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Emperor Taizu of Song—which one of them had castrated himself, avoided women entirely, and focused only on achieving great things?

Even Liu Bang, who single-handedly founded the four-hundred-year Han dynasty, merely did not let beauty interfere with his affairs. After pacifying the realm, he still had three wives and four concubines, three wives and four concubines. He still had three palaces, six courts, and seventy-two consorts, three palaces, six courts, and seventy-two consorts.

If Liu Bang had been any younger, he would not have had only so few children.

Lin Feng did not think he was more impressive than Liu Bang. Thus, as for the realm of Great Love Immortal Venerable, who viewed beautiful women as white bones, Lin Feng told it to get lost. Cultivate when it was time to cultivate, enjoy life when it was time to enjoy life. If he truly suffered through cultivation to reach a certain realm, only to be casually slapped to death by someone stronger, then Lin Feng would rather never have transmigrated at all.

PS: Writing it this way will probably bring out comments like "the protagonist is controlled by his lower half" or "he becomes Meng Yiran's dog." But there is no helping it. As I said, the protagonist does not think he is more impressive than Liu Bang. He simply does not let his lower half delay important matters, and he will not refuse when a beautiful woman willingly offers herself to him, because in my view, that is what a normal person would do.
