Chapter 260: How do you like my daughter? Asking Luo Yu to be a prince consort!_1
```
In Yue Xuan Hall.
The sound of roaring waves echoed throughout the place.
The entire room was completely covered with a sea-blue light.
Marine phantoms, carrying countless creatures, bowed and worshipped Luo Yu as if he were a supreme god, like stars surrounding the moon.
Luo Yu involuntarily closed his eyes, savoring the myriad mysteries of the Boundless Universe Shield.
Streams of information entered his mind.
Tang Yuehua's pupils dilated.
Xue Ke's cherry lips parted slightly in amazement.
Poison Douluo sighed inwardly, feeling that his son-in-law encountered fortune wherever he went, which was a bit too incredible and enviable.
The Snow Night Emperor was dumbstruck, his eyes vacant.
Just a second ago, when the State-Defending Divine Instrument was activated, he thought he was about to reach the pinnacle of his life.
Uniting Soul Land seemed within reach, and he was nearly ready to cheer in celebration.
But then, the next moment, reality was so ruthless.
How did the State-Defending Divine Instrument slip from his grasp and fly towards this young man as if a swan were returning to its nest?
Isn't this Divine Artifact mine? Why did it choose him?
As he watched the sea-blue Divine Light displayed on Luo Yu's body, the Snow Night Emperor's mentality collapsed.
He was terribly jealous, even his face turned green.
"No, this is the treasure of the Tiandou Empire, I must take it back!" the Snow Night Emperor growled fiercely, his Soul Power bursting forth as his Swan Martial Spirit possessed him.
With a domineering hand, he reached for the center of Luo Yu's forehead, trying to snatch back the Boundless Universe Shield.
Poison Douluo didn't expect the Snow Night Emperor to suddenly make a move and it was too late to stop him.
When the Snow Night Emperor's fingertips touched Luo Yu's forehead,
An annoyed voice cursing from within the Boundless Universe Shield arose.
"Scram, useless thing! What business is it of yours here?"
"You interrupt this god in finding a successor, you mere mortal cannot afford to interfere."
"Bang!"
The Boundless Universe Shield erupted with intense light, and the Power of the Great Sea surged.
The Snow Night Emperor was blasted away, slamming into the hall's wall.
The wall shook, showing cracks as dust fell in tiny droplets.
The Snow Night Emperor's Soul Light dissipated, and his Martial Spirit vanished.
More than the physical trauma, the psychological blow to the Snow Night Emperor was more severe.
This... Wasn't this his family heirloom?
Why did it react so strongly to a stranger and even seemed to be eagerly attaching itself to Luo Yu?
He was an emperor of a nation, yet this young man was nothing more than a pianist with good skills.
Why did it favor this young man so much and disdain him, the emperor?
He watched helplessly as the opportunity of his dreams aggressively clung to Luo Yu.
The Snow Night Emperor clenched his teeth tightly.
His heart was unwilling, and his spirit oppressed.
He couldn't understand where he fell short, was he truly inferior to a young boy?
Poison Douluo witnessed the entire process.
Seeing the Boundless Universe Shield automatically protect its master, he couldn't help but be amazed.
His son-in-law's fortune was extraordinary, perhaps far beyond his imagination.
He swallowed hard, thinking they were going to thrive from this.
From now on, just by stating Luo Yu was his son-in-law, wouldn't he be powerful enough to traverse across Soul Land unchallenged?
Poison Douluo made up his mind.
Pride?
What's the use of pride? How much is it really worth?
It was smarter to pamper his son-in-law—that would be the real deal, wouldn't he have everything he desired then?
Upon returning, he must urge Yanzi to serve their revered young patriarch well.
If they were to drive Luo Yu away, Poison Douluo felt like he would cry his eyes blind.
Xue Ke came over to help her father who had been thrown away, but her eyes never left Luo Yu.
Her beautiful eyes already sparkled with admiration, a classic fangirl demeanour.
Tang Yuehua felt the same, already fond of Luo Yu.
Now, witnessing such an extraordinary and vibrant moment from Luo Yu, she was even more profoundly moved.
The phenomena within the hall gradually dissipated, and the oceanic aura around Luo Yu also settled down.
Only a faint sea-blue light at the center of his forehead shone brilliantly.
Marking his distinction.
Luo Yu suddenly opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes.
Leaving aside other benefits, just his Soul Power had used this opportunity to break through to the sixty-level Soul emperor level, even climbing to near mid-stage Soul Emperor.
It needed to be known that the amount of Soul Power he required to level up was not like others—it was many times more than anyone else.
He hadn't even begun to test the functions of the Boundless Universe Shield,
When the Snow Night Emperor came over in a fury, looking at Luo Yu with anger.
"Boy, compensate me for my Boundless Universe Shield!" demanded the Snow Night Emperor.
Luo Yu hesitated, "Compensate?"
"Compensate for what?"
"Don't play dumb, the State-Defending Divine Instrument of my Tiandou Empire is with you," the Snow Night Emperor said with fiery red eyes, unable to accept that his years of research had been for someone else's benefit.
Luo Yu shook his head, "We need to be reasonable, right?"
"Was it not you who asked me to play the piano, to not stop?"
"Yes," the Snow Night Emperor nodded.
"Wasn't this item flying over to me on its own without me even attempting to grab it?"
"Yes," the Snow Night Emperor replied.
Luo Yu spread his hands, "Well then, that settles it. I didn't do anything, so what is there for me to compensate?"
"But my treasure is with you," the Snow Night Emperor argued fiercely.
```
"Sigh." Luo Yu sighed, "It's your treasure, so why don't you call it out?"
The Snow Night Emperor went crazy, "If I could call it out, would it have had the chance to end up in your hands?"
Luo Yu shook his head and pointed at his forehead.
"To be honest, I don't even want it."
"It insists on sticking to me and won't leave, I can't even drive it away, it's so annoying."
The Snow Night Emperor almost passed out from anger.
This kid is way too infuriating.
Is he even speaking human?
My treasured possession, and to you, it's trash?
Luo Yu continued, "If you can take it away, then hurry up and do it. Who knows if this thing is dangerous."
"I suspect that you coaxed me into playing the piano just now in order to use this thing to secretly harm me."
"Hiss—"
The Snow Night Emperor felt a surge of blood rushing to his brain.
Taking advantage while acting like the victim?
Playing the blame game?
"Are you sure you want me to take it away?"
Luo Yu pointed at his forehead, "It's right here, please take it away quickly."
"This is at your request, don't regret it."
The Snow Night Emperor snickered coldly and reached his hand out.
But as soon as he touched Luo Yu's forehead, a strong sea blue light burst forth.
"Damn it!"
The Snow Night Emperor was sent flying backward.
He landed on the ground with a big thump, his eyes lifeless, his aura defeated.
Luo Yu followed him in a few steps, urging, "Hurry up and take it away, I'm afraid it will blow up my forehead."
Not believing in curses, the Snow Night Emperor reached out again.
"Boom!"
Unsurprisingly, he was blasted away again.
"Bang Bang Bang!"
After a series of dull thuds, Poison Douluo and the others had already covered their eyes.
They just couldn't bear to watch anymore.
The Snow Night Emperor was too pitiful.
"Why, why is this happening?"
Luo Yu walked over and sighed, "Alright, I believe you didn't mean to harm me."
"I'll find a way to get this dangerous thing out later."
Heartbreaking and soul-stirring.
The Snow Night Emperor almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
This is so damn infuriating.
So you take my State-Defending Divine Instrument and instead of being grateful, you act like you're forgiving me?
The Snow Night Emperor felt he had never been this wronged in his life.
"Lord Poison Douluo, help me teach this kid a lesson! Now!!!" The Snow Night Emperor couldn't take it anymore.
"Keep shouting, it's useless even if you scream your throat out." Luo Yu just watched him quietly.
The Snow Night Emperor shouted several times, but Poison Douluo didn't budge an inch.
Immediately, he felt a pain in his liver.
Leaving the palace, not only was his treasure lost, but he also faced betrayal from his confidant.
Poison Douluo pulled the Snow Night Emperor aside and whispered, "Your Majesty, listen to me."
"This treasure didn't show any reaction while in your possession, but it reacted in Luo Yu's hands. What does that tell you?"
The Snow Night Emperor burned with rage, "Are you saying I'm a failure?"
"Of course not, it means Luo Yu is special, it means this treasure can only be used by him."
"Why offend someone like that when we can just make him an ally?" Poison Douluo coaxed gently.
The Snow Night Emperor said, "So you mean I should smile in the face of a loss?"
"Not only not get angry, but also make friends with him?"
Poison Douluo said, "Your Majesty, haven't you always been troubled by a mysterious poison?"
"Actually, the poison in my body was cured by Luo Yu, and because of that, my strength has increased by two levels. If you're willing to make peace, I can go and ask him to help you detoxify."
The Snow Night Emperor's eyes bulged, shocked, "Are you saying this kid can cure the poison in my body?"
He had long been troubled by a mysterious and intense poison which significantly weakened his life force, leaving him with not much longer to live, which is why he was so eager to activate the Divine Artifact, seeking a cure.
Poison Douluo said earnestly, "Your Majesty, if anyone in the world could possibly cure the poison you suffer from, it would only be him."
"You're not lying to me?" The Snow Night Emperor scrutinized Poison Douluo suspiciously, somewhat doubting that this guy and Luo Yu were in cahoots.
Poison Douluo shook his head, "There's no need to lie to you, isn't it something that can be verified with a try?"
The Snow Night Emperor suppressed the excitement in his heart.
He approached Luo Yu.
"Young friend Luo Yu, if you can cure the intense poison in my body,"
"I can not only give you the Boundless Universe Shield, our State-Defending Divine Instrument, but I can also marry my daughter Xue Ke to you as your wife."
Upon hearing the Snow Night Emperor's words, Luo Yu's eyelid twitched.
He gave Poison Douluo a strange look.
What strange move is this old fellow pulling, helping his granddaughter find a sister-in-law?

A few short-skirted, stockings-wearing young ladies not only treated me to a meal but also tried to get me to drink. Would I fall for their schemes?
Even if they can't drain my wallet, they will suck me dry of my...
Even though you praise me for being short, the young ladies would scold me for being too big!
But I still slipped away after freeloading the meal to update.
Yep, that's true love.
