Sun Moon Imperial Palace
Huo Yuhao sat by Ju Zi's bedside. There were no maids present, because in other people's eyes, Huo Yuhao's appearance was that of a girl, specifically Ke Ke.
The maids knew that Ke Ke was the Emperor and Empress's best friend, so they did not stop her.
Huo Yuhao said softly to Ju Zi, " The Star Luo Empire, in alliance with the Heavenly Sun Empire and the Dou Ling Empire, is demanding that the Sun Moon Empire cease hostilities. The Heavenly Soul Empire is also requesting the return of the territories occupied by the Sun Moon Empire, which is also the opinion of the Heavenly Sun Douluo."
Ju Zi's complexion had clearly improved a lot, becoming rosy again. She gently leaned on Huo Yuhao's shoulder and asked him, "So, what do you think about this?"
Holding the sleeping Huo Yuhao, Huo Yunhan said, "I think a temporary ceasefire is indeed a good idea, and I support it. The Sun Moon Empire is currently being balanced by the three great empires, leaving them no chance to breathe. As the saying goes, don't pursue a desperate enemy; otherwise, we might drive them crazy. Who knows, they might even send a few Titled Douluo to the Sun Moon Empire to self-destruct?"
Ju Zi raised an eyebrow slightly. As the Empress and God of War, she analyzed the situation and said, "Our Sun Moon Empire has quite a few Titled Douluo available, more than enough to deal with the opposing empire. Letting the Holy Spirit Cult go is a perfect example of two birds fighting and a third party reaping the benefits. Haven't you always wanted to eliminate those members of the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Huo Yuhao's lips curled into a smile as he said in a steady voice, " The Holy Spirit Cult's high-level combat force, Death God Douluo Ye Xishui, has had his cultivation crippled by me, rendering him practically useless. Long Xiaoyao has been threatened by me and is currently severely injured."
He paused, then continued, "Although there is still Zhongli Wu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, they are no match for me."
"However, the Holy Spirit Cult has committed numerous evils, so of course they should be killed if possible. The Sun Moon Empire has no need for the Holy Spirit Cult; their reputation is simply insane," Huo Yuhao said in a very cold tone.
"As for Heavenly Sun Douluo wanting to reclaim their territory, let them fight it out themselves. I will handle this matter."
Ju Zi nodded and then said, "Now, you can actually make the decisions about the Sun Moon Empire directly. Just tell me. Yuhao, you are now the man in front of me, and I am the woman behind you. The entire Sun Moon Empire is mine, and it is also yours."
She gazed tenderly at the sleeping baby, her voice growing even softer. "Of course, it's also our Yunhan's."
Huo Yuhao remained calm and said, "Sometimes, achieving unification doesn't require war." He looked at Ju Zi's cheek and gently stroked it. "Didn't you hate war the most?"
"Yes..." Ju Zi's eyes dimmed, her voice lowered, and she said, "I hate war the most. War took away my family. I thought I would spend my whole life seeking revenge, but I never expected..."
Her eyes were soft and sweet. "I never imagined I'd meet you, Yuhao, and that we'd even have a new family."
Huo Yuhao pulled her closer, his voice carrying a similar sentiment. "Yes, I'm prepared to grow from hatred for the rest of my life, because my family, in some way, died because of their connection to your enemy White Tiger Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger."
A fierce glint flashed in Ju Zi's eyes. "I will kill him, to avenge you, and to avenge myself, Yuhao."
Huo Yuhao's gaze slowly shifted from gentle to cold and stern as he said, "I believe you, but perhaps, some of his family members will die first."
Ju Zi's eyes widened. " Yuhao, are you going to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to kill someone?"
Huo Yuhao was absolutely certain of his words; what he was thinking was exactly what he was going to do. "That's right, the White Tiger Duke's Wife, who once bullied my mother, is the first one who deserves to die."
"This is just a prelude. In the future, I will massacre the Duke's Mansion, leaving him not even a dog."
Ju Zi saw the look in Huo Yuhao's eyes at that moment, and it was as if she saw herself in them. Huo Yuhao, a man with the same fate as her, we were destined to meet. Two lonely and hateful souls came together.
Love blossomed between them.
Huo Yuhao's tone softened slightly as he tightened his grip on her hand, saying, "However, those things can be handled by my clone. Right now, our priority is protecting your safety, so we can postpone those matters."
"After all, those guys' lives mean nothing; you and Yunhan are the most important people right now."
Ju Zi nestled in his arms and whispered happily, "Mmm."
Of course, Ju Zi's palace had implemented countless soundproofing and anti-eavesdropping measures.
No one will know about Huo Yuhao's conversation with the other person.
Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "Actually, the trouble is far more than just the current situation of the Three Kingdoms. There is an even bigger problem: Tang Wutong."
Her staying at the Shrek Academy is ultimately a source of trouble. What if she were to harm Xue'er and Qiu'er?
Will Tang San personally step in to eliminate them?
Or should I go back now and kill her? But wouldn't that attract Tang San's attention?
Now it's a situation where one move can have far-reaching consequences. Killing Tang Wutong is something that can be done at any time, but we have to consider whether Tang San might suddenly unleash some kind of Sea God's Descent.
After all, in Tang Wutong's previous life, there was indeed a Sea God's Descent among her Soul Skill.
Isn't this just plain calling on your dad to play for you?
Making a move against Dai Hao would mean sacrificing his entire family, which, while not inherently wrong, also risked involving Dai Mubai. Of course, he could kill Dai Mubai as well, and even if his wife, the God of Speed Zhu Zhuqing, came, what could she do?
Even if you put the two of them together, they're still just chickens and dogs, mere two Second-Level God.
However, considering the relationship between Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and the Asura God Tang San, it's likely that when the entire original Shrek Seven Devils go into battle and start the Divine Realm War ahead of time, he himself will be in the stage of Godhood and establishing his Godhood.
This is clearly not conducive to the development of my subsequent plans.
So what should be done? The only option is to kill the Duchess to vent our anger first, and then we can deal with the rest when the time is right.
Huo Yuhao was still looking at his child, and couldn't help but think, "In my previous life, I went to the Divine Realm early, leaving only Ju Zi and Yunhan as orphans and widows in the mortal realm. I have failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a husband and father."
"In their previous lives, Ju Zi and Yunhan must have suffered greatly in the mortal realm, experiencing husbands abandoning wives and fathers abandoning children."
"Back then, Tang San threatened Ju Zi not to tell him about Yunhan, and forcibly demanded that the Sun Moon Empire be renamed the Heaven Dou Empire. The gods intervened in the mortal realm and took Tang Wutong away. I was blinded by greed; my wife, with whom I had consummated our marriage, was right across from me."
"Why didn't you resolve this matter properly back then? Why did you have to go to the Divine Realm so quickly? Why didn't you take Ju Zi and your son with you when you went to the Divine Realm?"
"Huh? Even if I had taken him to the Divine Realm, I probably still wouldn't have had Tang San Tang Wutong back then."
"It's better not to bring it at all."
"Life is full of disappointments, and I think I'm overthinking things. But my attitude towards Ju Zi and my son in my past life was truly..."
"Just consider yourself a love-struck idiot who neglected family ties, the very thing you initially wanted to uphold."
" Ju Zi, I'm sorry, Yunhan, Dad is so sorry to you and your son."
"In this life, I will not let you suffer again."
