Douluo Dalu: Sign in to the Flame Princess-Chapter 100: The Fourth Puppet, Yun Yun

Outside Shrek Academy, in a desolate wilderness, Dai Mubai slowly crawled up from the ground. His body was swollen, a result of the beatings he received from Zhao Wuji and Li Yusong.

He had been extremely unlucky. Yesterday, before he could do anything, Zhao Ming had already thrashed him. Before he could recover, Xiao Wu had kicked him, leaving him with a bleeding head. Even the relatively weak auxiliary soul master Ning Rongrong had given him a kick.

When he tried to retaliate against Ning Rongrong, Zhao Wuji beat him again. Then, in the academy's office, he was almost beaten to death by Li Yusong's Dragon-patterned Staff. Anyone would struggle to endure such abuse, especially someone as prideful as Dai Mubai.

After being humiliated like this, his mental state was on the verge of collapse.

"Shrek Academy, I won't let a single one of you off! One day, I will return and reclaim every shred of dignity you took from me." Looking back at Shrek Academy with resentment, Dai Mubai's face was full of hatred.

The scenes of yesterday's humiliation were still fresh in his mind, fueling his hatred for the entire academy.

After speaking, he turned and limped away.

But soon, he was filled with terror.

Standing in front of him was the person he hated and feared the most.

"Zhao Ming, why are you here? What do you want?" Dai Mubai looked at Zhao Ming in a panic. He wanted to cry; Zhao Ming always seemed to appear like a shadow, lurking in the background and delivering deadly blows when least expected. This made Dai Mubai develop a deep fear of him.

Seeing Zhao Ming's calm expression, Dai Mubai became even more frightened.

"What do you think I want?" Zhao Ming smiled mockingly.

"You want to kill me?" Dai Mubai's face turned pale. He had expected that Zhao Ming wouldn't let him off so easily.

"You drugged Zhuqing, intending to do something despicable to her. Do you think I'd spare your life?"

"Zhuqing is my fiancée. What does it have to do with you?" Dai Mubai protested when Zhao Ming mentioned Zhu Zhuqing.

But before he could finish, Zhao Ming punched him, sending him flying. "It seems you still haven't understood what I told you last time. Weaklings aren't worthy of having good things."

Zhao Ming stepped on Dai Mubai's chest. "Do you really think someone like you deserves a woman like Zhuqing? She's mine now. Do you understand?"

Under Zhao Ming's humiliation, Dai Mubai dared not move. He could feel the murderous intent emanating from Zhao Ming.

What a waste of space. Zhao Ming sneered in disdain.

If this were any ordinary man, even Tang San would have fought back at this point.

But Dai Mubai...

Then again, if he weren't such a person, he wouldn't have abandoned Zhu Zhuqing and fled to Heaven Dou Empire to avoid danger.

In any case, this worked out well for Zhao Ming. It made implementing his plan that much easier.

Zhao Ming intended to use Dai Mubai to kill Davis and take the throne of the Star Luo Empire. With Dai Mubai as his puppet emperor, he could then control the entire empire.

Having Dai Mubai personally kill his brother and father would be quite entertaining. Of course, once Zhao Ming fully controlled the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai's usefulness would come to an end.

After Dai Mubai killed Davis, Zhao Ming would also rescue Zhu Zhuqing's sister, Zhu Zhuyun. That way, the sisters could reconcile, and Zhu Zhuqing would finally be at peace. After all, a girl like Zhuqing, who had lived in a world full of schemes and conflicts due to her family, deeply longed for kinship.

When the two sisters reconciled, Zhuqing would undoubtedly be happy.

Now that Zhuqing was essentially his, Zhao Ming never minded putting in extra effort to make her smile.

After all, he was a caring guy, and this was just what caring guys did.

"Host, are you serious right now? This is classic scumbag behavior, yet you're trying to justify it. The system strongly disapproves. But fine, you're doing well, so here's a fitting mission."

"Ding! New mission unlocked: Check-in at the Star Luo Empire's Palace."

"Mission Reward: Fourth Puppet, Yun Yun."

Yun Yun? Zhao Ming's eyes lit up with excitement.

He hadn't expected a check-in mission to appear at this time, and it involved Yun Yun from Battle Through the Heavens. Was the system trying to make him take away all of Xiao Yan's girls? If Xiao Yan found out, wouldn't he just cry himself to sleep?

In the world of Battle Through the Heavens, Zhao Ming had always been fond of two women: Queen Medusa and Yun Yun. He hadn't expected the system to deliver both to him. This was beyond amazing.

He had heard that Yun Yun was gentle and refined, and even in the original story, Xiao Yan hadn't touched her.

"System, you sure you aren't reading my mind? Haha, you keep sending me exactly what I want." Zhao Ming chuckled.

"Of course. The puppets the system selects are all highly skilled. I guarantee they will suit your needs perfectly."

"System, you're absolutely right. It's not about looks; it's all about strength. You really get me."

Regaining his composure, Zhao Ming looked down at Dai Mubai once again.

Seeing Dai Mubai's frightened expression, Zhao Ming already had a plan.

Originally, Zhao Ming had considered killing Dai Mubai, but with this new check-in task, killing him outright wouldn't be as satisfying.

Why not turn him into a mad dog that bites back at everyone?

"Dai Mubai, for a prince of the Star Luo Empire to fall so low, you're really something. You had a chance at the throne, didn't you?" Zhao Ming said with a smile, pressing his foot down harder.

"What do you know? Davis and his faction are too powerful. If I had stayed in the empire, I'd be dead by now. If it weren't for him, I'd still be a prince with untold wealth, not someone you could humiliate." Dai Mubai gritted his teeth in hatred.

"Oh, so the one you're competing against is named Davis? And he wants you dead?"

"What are you planning? Are you going to report me to Davis so he can kill me?" Dai Mubai looked at Zhao Ming warily.

"If I wanted you dead, why would I go through all that trouble? I'm here to help you."

"Help me? Haha, you expect me to believe that nonsense?" Dai Mubai sneered. In his eyes, everything that had happened to him was Zhao Ming's fault.

Now Zhao Ming said he wanted to help? That was ridiculous.

"I'm not just going to help you; I'm going to help you seize the throne."

"The throne?" Dai Mubai's face changed dramatically. He couldn't believe Zhao Ming was talking about this.

The throne—it was something that haunted his every dream.

"You want to help me? Don't you have some ulterior motive?" Dai Mubai said coldly.

Ulterior motive? Well, obviously.

What Zhao Ming wanted was control over the Star Luo Empire.
