Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

The night was bright with lights inside the villa.

Ravishing beauties rarely seen by the common folk in daylight sat nearly forty strong within the villa, each one a peerless vision of loveliness.

Ice queens, dignified empresses, ladies in royal garb, playful lolitas, tsundere maidens... almost every desirable type of woman was encompassed.

At that moment, they were expressing intense "contempt" towards two individuals.

"Xiaowu!"

"Bi Bidong!!"

"You two are utterly shameless."

"To approach our husband using such means."

"Exactly, it's outrageous, even dressing up as mother and daughter."

"Xiaowu, you called out 'mom' so affectionately, aren't you embarrassed at all?"

Xiaowu was awkwardly fidgeting with the hem of her skirt, while Bi Bidong sat there with her long, slender legs crossed, her expression one of cool arrogance.

"What are you all shouting about?"

"Are you despising us for being shameless or are you jealous of our tactics?"

"Or possibly..." Bi Bidong trailed off with a prolonged tone, "you are worried that I might actually succeed with Brother Yu."

"Pah!"

"Who would be worried."

The Charm Emperor reacted most vehemently, annoyed at her own blunder for previously trying to lead Luo Yu in too roughly, resulting in her rapid elimination.

A bit embarrassing, to say the least.

Now, seeing how well Bi Bidong's tactics were working, didn't it make her look incompetent?

Zhu Zhuyun, Huo Wu, Zi Ji, and others were concerned that they might indeed be outmaneuvered by Bi Bidong, given the significant allure of the mother-daughter duo.

It seemed they really couldn't find fault with the acting Bi Bidong and Xiaowu had displayed earlier.

As for Gu Yuena and the Life God King, they were quite composed, sitting quietly to one side without speaking, not joining the fray against Bi Bidong.

Nevertheless, they couldn't help but admire the cleverness of the idea Bi Bidong had come up with.

As things were, it had indeed made a favorable impression on Luo Yu.

"Humph! Don't get too pleased with yourselves just yet," the Charm Emperor sneered, "I think the current Brother Yu is not so easily approached. And you only have one month's time to seize the moment, or all your efforts will be in vain."

Bi Bidong shook her head.

"No, not one month."

She held up two slender fingers. "It's two months to be exact. Xiaowu and I are collaborating."

"Hiss—"

The Charm Emperor and the other ladies took a sharp breath.

As expected from the Female Pope, they were speechless at her exploitation of legal loopholes.

And no rule had been made that prevented the others from doing the same, so aside from the Charm Emperor, it seemed nobody else really had an argument against it.

So, am I the only fool?

The Charm Emperor didn't want to talk anymore.

"If you two succeed, who will become the Harem Master?" Zhu Zhuyun, the busty lady, spoke up at this juncture.

Bi Bidong gave her a glance.

"You little girl, you're quite clever, trying to probe the mother-daughter bond between Xiaowu and me with just one question, or should I say, the sisterly love?"

"Whichever of us Brother Yu agrees to be with first will be the Harem Master," Bi Bidong said. "Right, Xiaowu?"

"Hmm," Xiaowu nodded, her hair swaying.

"Next, we'll invite Brother Yu over for dinner and strengthen our ties with him. We need to opt for a subtle approach, absolutely cannot be too hasty," Bi Bidong smiled. "To capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach. We need to hurry and learn a couple of good dishes."

"Mhm, mhm," Xiaowu continued nodding. "I'll listen to mom."

Bi Bidong smiled contentedly and nodded.

"Very good, this professional attitude will help us ultimately succeed."

Next to her, the voluptuous lady with rosy cheeks shook her head and sighed.

"A good daughter, just for a man, now accepts a bandit as her mother, not even recognizing her own anymore."

...

Bi Bidong thought she could soon get in touch with Luo Yu and invite him over for a meal, but after trying for a month, she failed to get an invitation.

The calls were always taken by a servant, who said Luo Yu was in closed-door cultivation.

She was utterly frustrated.

Without so much as a peep from him, all her skills were useless.

At this moment, Bi Bidong and Xiaowu seemed to empathize with the pain of the Charm Emperor.

In the exclusive bedroom of Luo Yu within the Luo Family Mansion, the young man lay tranquilly on the bed, his eyes closed, his breath steady, deep in slumber.

Within the Cyan Stone Lotus Space in his Dantian, explosive sounds continued to resonate.

Golden Great Suns in the high sky kept separating golden threads, which merged into Luo Yu's body surface, eventually becoming nourishment.

"Boom, boom—"

For one month, Luo Yu forwent sleep and food, spending almost all his time within the Cyan Stone Lotus Space, circulating the "Secret Technique of Myriad Transformations," and cultivating an understanding of the various paths inherent in the golden source high above.

His understanding in the Sword Dao, Way of the Spear, the Dao of the blade, the Kingly Way, the Overbearing Way... all such paths were constantly improving and deepening.

Though outwardly there seemed to be no significant improvement in his vitality and bones, internally a transformation and sublimation had taken place.

The reason Luo Yu's "Secret Technique of Myriad Transformations" was the sole technique even the great sage Laozi couldn't stop praising was that it wasn't about simply taking what belonged to others for oneself, but about distilling the essence, discarding the dross, and turning all things into nutrients to eventually nurture one's ultimate Great Path.

What the ultimate destination of this path would be, no one knew, not the Three Purities, these mighty beings, nor Luo Yu himself.

Because the path he was now taking was alarmingly extravagant.

Throughout history, no one had ever lived so lavishly; consider that those hundred golden Great Suns suspended in the space above comprised the Great Paths that countless renowned gods had labored their entire lives to fathom, but now all were laid out before Luo Yu for his thorough study and reference.

If Luo Yu sought a shortcut, he wouldn't even need to do anything else.
