Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

"If only you had done this earlier, look how well-behaved the little princess is." Feeling the delicate body on his body stop struggling, Meteor pursed his lips helplessly, secretly complaining to himself.

In his opinion, Xu Jiujiu, as a princess of Xingluo, was so blind to the current situation that she insisted on taking matters into her own hands before she would calm down. It was a real headache. In comparison, the other little princess was much less of a worry.

Xu Jiujiu's pretty face flushed red, both ashamed and angry, almost to the point of bleeding. She glared fiercely at Liuxing, then subconsciously looked at her niece Xu Yun, who was sleeping soundly.

Upon seeing Xu Yun sleeping peacefully, Xu Jiujiu gritted her teeth in anger. She thought to herself, "This is not being well-behaved at all. It's just that my niece hasn't woken up from her coma yet."

If Xu Yun were to wake up, with her lively, energetic, and fearless nature, she would definitely be a hundred times more mischievous than I am!
Princess Jiujiu finally calmed down, ceasing her futile resistance, her expression as if she had accepted her fate.

Seeing this, Meteor stopped what she was doing, steadily carried the two princesses, and flew swiftly like an arrow in the predetermined direction.

Firefly had been keeping an eye on things, and seeing that Meteor was not behaving inappropriately, she quickened her pace and arrived at Meteor's side like a light bird.

Without saying a word, she reached out and snatched Xu Jiujiu from Liuxing's shoulder, skillfully carrying her in a princess carry.

The sudden change in posture left Xu Jiujiu somewhat bewildered, her mind went blank for a moment, and she was completely stunned.

After a while, when her gaze fell on Liuying's face, she immediately felt relieved.

After all, compared to being roughly carried on a man's shoulder, being held so gently by a girl is far more dignified.

At the same time, Meng Hongchen quickly caught up. Seeing Liu Ying's actions, she winked playfully, understood, and also reached out to lift Xu Yun off Liu Xing's shoulder.

Meteor blinked innocently, his heart filled with helplessness. He swore that he had only slapped her unconsciously because she had been twisting and struggling for so long, which had annoyed him. He had absolutely no other inappropriate thoughts.

But to be honest, Princess Jiu Jiu's touch... Thinking of this, Meteor shook his head slightly, quickly shaking this strange thought out of his mind.

Before long, the meteor shower landed in a quiet valley surrounded by lush trees, tranquil and secluded.

Not long after, Chongyun and the others led the members of the Molten Knights back one after another.

Fortunately, the operation was a swift and decisive blitzkrieg. Although some members of the Molten Knights were injured, fortunately, no one was killed.

After all, the Soul Guidance Mech is the culmination of the Sun Moon Empire's top-tier Soul Guidance technology, and its sturdiness is comparable to the defense of a Soul Saint.

Moreover, the battle was extremely fast-paced, with the two sides quickly separating as soon as they made contact, so no serious accidents occurred.

Of course, their operation did not cause too many casualties to the Star Luo Empire's army; it mainly caused a period of chaos in the enemy's camp.

Most importantly, they successfully achieved their goal—capturing two princesses at once, making a fortune.

"Damn it, let me go!" With an extremely angry shout, Xu Yun, who had just woken up, proved her long-held suspicions true, becoming even more agitated than before. Although her martial soul and soul skills were firmly sealed, and she couldn't muster much strength, she was still like an angry little beast, baring her teeth and claws, trying to pounce on Meteor and bite it a couple of times.

Her uninhibited manner showed no trace of the elegance and poise expected of a princess of royal birth. Instead, she resembled a tough woman who had spent years in the military and had acquired a bold and unrestrained spirit.

In contrast, after a period of reflection, she has gradually calmed down and regained her former dignified demeanor.

At this moment, she sat quietly on a smooth stone, her expression calm and her gaze steady as she observed the surrounding situation.

Meteor easily subdued the struggling little princess with one hand, his face full of helplessness.

He winked at Liuying, his eyes seeming to say, "Come save me, this little guy is too much trouble."

He gestured for Liuying to quickly come and take over this troublesome little princess.

Liu Ying blinked her bright, lively eyes, as if she had suddenly thought of a brilliant idea, and her eyes lit up.

Immediately afterwards, without hesitation, she stretched out her right hand and gave Princess Xu Yun a light punch in the abdomen.

In an instant, the noisy scene fell silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Upon seeing this, Feng Xiaotian and the others involuntarily swallowed, a hint of fear in their eyes. They subconsciously moved their feet quietly backward, as if afraid that they would be the next ones to be "taught a lesson".

Meng Hongchen clutched her abdomen tightly with both hands, her face showing a pained expression, as if she herself were experiencing that phantom pain.

Even the usually composed Meteor couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth, a barely perceptible look of surprise flashing across his face.

Is this what they call physical subjugation? This thought popped into everyone's mind at the same time, leaving them both amused and exasperated.

Seeing this, Xu Jiujiu's red lips parted slightly, her eyes filled with astonishment as she looked at Liuying in disbelief.

Then, her gaze quickly shifted to Xu Yun, who was being held in Liu Ying's arms, and her eyes showed a look of heartache. She silently felt sorry for her niece for three seconds.

After a long while, he stared intently at the meteor, his eyes filled with doubt and inquiry, and asked, word by word, "Why did you take such a great risk to capture us? What is your purpose?"

She simply couldn't understand the deeper meaning behind Meteor's actions. With only five hundred men, he dared to attack a massive camp garrisoned by a hundred thousand soldiers and thousands of soul masters, and his goal was merely to capture her and Xu Yun. In her eyes, this was utterly incomprehensible.

In Xu Jiujiu's heart, although they were princesses and of vital importance to the Star Luo Empire, it was not so absolute. At this critical moment concerning the life and death of the empire, the princesses were not necessarily indispensable.

After all, the Star Luo Empire has a profound foundation. Even if she were captured, there are plenty of capable and prestigious individuals within its army who could shoulder the responsibility of managing the overall situation. She is not irreplaceable. (End of Chapter)
