Douluo Continent: My Days in the Tang Sect

The Sun and Moon Palace, as the base camp that the Sun and Moon royal family has carefully managed for thousands of years, is not only magnificent in appearance, but its interior has also been quietly transformed into a ready-made super-large laboratory.

However, this laboratory is hidden in the imperial palace. Even the old eunuchs or servants who have lived in the palace for decades or even hundreds of years do not know the entrance to this laboratory.

A palace maid who was in charge of working in a certain palace was about to miss her reporting time for work due to some minor mistakes.

She walked hurriedly on the avenue in the palace with her head down.

But even if she ran, it seemed too late.

When passing a garden building, she glanced at the sky and judged the time. If she continued her usual route, she would probably not be able to report for work in time.

If you are late, you will be punished by that old eunuch!

Thinking of the old eunuch's methods, the palace maid couldn't help but tremble.

She gritted her teeth. Having worked here for nearly ten years, she was very familiar with the route to work. Her outstanding sense of direction and knowledge of roads since childhood gave her a partial route map in her mind.

"If I'm not mistaken, this garden should be right in the middle of my route. If I can go straight through it, maybe I can save the time of making a big turn and report for work in time!"

The maid gritted her teeth. She was going to be late anyway, so she might as well take a gamble!

She plucked up her courage, made sure there was no one around, lifted her skirt, stepped over the low bushes that could not hide anyone, and ran to the other side of the garden.

However, there are always surprises in the palace.

As the palace maid was running, she suddenly stepped on something, slipped and fell.

"It hurts! What the hell!"

The maid reached out to grope in anger.

When she touched the stick-like object, she pulled it out of the soil with force.

When I looked at it in the bright light of day, I saw that only two-thirds of the thigh bone was left.

The maid opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

Then she moved her gaze from the broken bones to her thigh and compared them.

"Shasha~"

There was an undisguised sound of movement.

The palace maid quickly grasped the bone in her hand, covered her mouth with the other hand, and her wide eyes were full of fear.

Her body began to tremble violently and unconsciously.

The fact that she didn't scream just now was already a sign of her heart's strong endurance.

"rustle!"

A black afterimage suddenly jumped out from somewhere.

The sunlight was blocked by a layer of clouds, causing the originally vibrant garden to lose its shining green color and gradually turn into a gray-green world.

And in this gray-green color, there is a small piece of gray-white and a broken piece of light green.

"In the palace, a large number of palace maids and eunuchs disappear every year! Are you bothering me with such a small matter?"

Xu Ziteng, who had already gotten a promotion opportunity and held several positions, felt a headache when he looked at an old eunuch in front of him.

The old eunuch came to report on the recent disappearance of palace maids and eunuchs in the palace.

Xu Ziteng didn't want to care. As he had just said, quite a few palace maids and eunuchs disappeared in the palace every year.

These palace maids and eunuchs either escaped or were killed and hidden.

If it was the former, Xu Ziteng wouldn't bother to care.

The palace maids and eunuchs of low status do not have any guardians to guard their living places, so if they run away, they run away. These escapees will have to live in hiding for the rest of their lives and will not be able to use their original identities again.

If it's the latter, then it would be a bit troublesome.

After all, the imperial palace also includes the harem.

The harem is never a peaceful place. Today, a concubine may be displeased with someone and secretly send someone to kill that person's personal maid, or tomorrow the imperial concubine may do the same thing again.

Very common.

However, Xu Tianran currently has no harem. In his current harem, there is only a side hall where several concubines favored by the former Sun and Moon Emperor live.

But that place was under the surveillance of the priests, and Xu Ziteng had no control over it.

"My head hurts!"

After sending the old eunuch away, Xu Ziteng thought about whether he should conduct a thorough investigation in the palace.

The old eunuch's words made him a little suspicious.

"Even during the reign of Emperor Yang Ri, there weren't so many palace maids and eunuchs escaping!"

These words kept echoing in Xu Ziteng's ears.

Emperor Yang Ri was a rare tyrant in the history of the Sun-Moon Empire, famous for his cruelty.

But even during the reign of the cruel emperor, not many palace maids and eunuchs escaped.

Is there something fishy about this?

After thinking for a while, Xu Ziteng decided to wait until night fell and go to the palace to patrol in person.

As the deputy leader of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Corps, he really has the qualifications, but this would be seen as a waste of talent.

Xu Ziteng checked his equipment, called two secret guards, and assigned the work to them.

Then he sat in front of the Qianhua Gate and waited for dark.

Night fell quickly, and the soul guide lights in the Sun and Moon Palace soon lit up.

Xu Ziteng opened his eyes, grasped the hilt of the long sword at his waist with his right hand, stood up, and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

"I want to see what kind of demons and monsters are causing trouble in the palace!"

The Sun and Moon Palace at night, illuminated by a large number of soul guide lights, is still as clear as day.

Xu Ziteng walked arbitrarily on the brightly lit avenue, holding the hilt of the sword in his right hand, ready to draw the sword at any time.

It seems that there has been a rumor in the palace recently that the eunuchs and palace maids who work the night shift should try to move together in groups. This has relieved Xu Ziteng's pressure a lot.

"Captain Xu, patrol!"

"Hello, Captain Xu~"

From time to time, some palace maids would bravely greet Xu Ziteng.

Xu Ziteng didn't have a cold face, after all, His Majesty was not here.

He put on a smiling face and waved as a greeting.

I secretly gave these palace maids scores in my heart.

"Hey, this one is tall!"

"Wow! This way my child won't lack nutrition in the future!"

"Wow, that one must be a good fertile one!"

Xu Ziteng walked slowly. Because he was the captain and had outstanding fighting ability, many palace maids invited him to accompany them for escort.

In addition, Xu Ziteng was very easy to talk to today, so many palace maids gathered around.

Although Xu Ziteng did not attack the palace maid, it was still okay to take a look.

In some dark corners, pairs of eyes looked at the bustling crowd.

"Captain! Report!"

Xu Ziteng was about to read the palm of a palace maid when he was suddenly stopped by a secret guard who appeared out of nowhere.

"What are you doing? Tell me what's going on!"

He was busy. Every year the imperial palace had some quota for sending old palace maids out of the palace and returning home. If he made some arrangements, it would be possible to send a few young palace maids among them.

"Captain! The brothers in Ningye Palace sent a message that they seem to have found unusual traces and suspected that thieves have invaded! The priests are on the way to notify them!"

"Ah Xida! There really is a rat! Take this captain over there quickly!"

Xu Ziteng originally thought that with the help of the priest, he would have no worries tonight, but he didn't expect that there was such a bold thief!

A group of palace maids witnessed Xu Ziteng leaving with the secret guards. They all sighed and quickened their pace to return.

And those eyes hidden in the darkness didn't even look at the group of palace maids, but were very interested in Xu Ziteng.

Xu Ziteng quickly followed the secret guard, turning left and right in the palace, and quickly arrived at Ning Ye Palace.

Ningye Palace was once the palace of a noble concubine, but with the passing of the previous Sun and Moon Emperor, the noble concubine could not hold on for long.

However, Xu Tianran did not take a concubine, so Ningye Palace lost its popularity and gradually became deserted.

When Xu Ziteng arrived at Ning Ye Palace, the palace, which was already overgrown with weeds, exuded a desolate atmosphere.

Several secret guards stood in the palace.

"Where are the people? Where are the mice? Have they run away?"

When Xu Ziteng arrived, he asked three fatal questions in a row, and at the same time, the long sword in his hand was already unsheathed.

Several secret guards shook their heads and said in fear, "I don't know, Captain. We saw the thieves coming in, so we ran over here. It hasn't been long since we arrived, and you're here!"

"You just arrived? Damn it! Such a reaction speed! Go back and do more training!"

Xu Ziteng walked into the courtyard of Ning Ye Palace cursing, the long sword in his hand emitting a dazzling light.

Behind him, a red light flashed in the eyes of several secret guards at the same time.

An invisible energy field slowly enveloped Ning Ye Palace.

Inside the Imperial Palace, the Worship Hall.

Xu Tianzhen walked out of the worship hall.

Although Kong Deming was stripped of his position, no one dared to touch what belonged to him.

So Xu Tianzhen usually takes classes in Kong Deming's laboratory.

She walked out of the intersection and onto the road, facing the moonlight. The two tokens on her waist collided gently, making a faint sound.

Even if she didn't need a token, no secret guard would dare to stop her based on her face.

The little princess most favored by two generations of emperors, and the princess who is most likely to make trouble, these two titles are not exaggerated.

However, Xu Tianzhen was walking and thinking about what he had learned today, and did not notice that three figures quietly appeared in the shadows behind him.

"The symbol of the Sun and Moon royal family? Interesting. It looks like we have encountered valuable prey."

There was a red light flickering in the eyes of the three secret guards.

The Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord is watching.

It had been badly beaten by the Sun-Moon Royal Family in the past, so it had a deep impression of them. In addition, it had recently consumed a lot of the memories of the secret guards and recognized the pattern of the Sun-Moon Royal Family's token.

"Very good! Then you are my first prey! The Sun and Moon Royal Family! You dared to invade my territory back then! Now pay with blood!"

The three secret guards approached Xu Tianzhen quietly, and soul power gradually glowed in their hands.

"How naive!"

A shout with a hint of old-fashionedness was heard.

Xu Tianzhen turned around and found Ye Yulin jogging out.

"What's wrong, Grandpa Ye?" Xu Tianzhen asked. She watched Ye Yulin rushing to the door of the worship hall.

"Oops, you forgot to take your homework today!"

"Oops! Don't remind me!"

Xu Tianzhen held his head and turned around, wailing.

Here, there are only her and Ye Yulin who is gloating over others' misfortunes. (End of this chapter)
