Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Star Luo Empire
The atmosphere in Wen Yu's room was exceptionally calm, exuding a reassuring warmth.

The room's owner is Wen Yu.

This beautiful woman, who appears gentle and kind on the surface but harbors a dark and calculating mind, is standing in front of a cluster of flowers that are about to wither, lost in thought about the meaning of life.

"Your appearances are so beautiful, yet your lives are so short, always fleeting like a flash in the pan, it is truly lamentable."

boom!
Just then, the door was pushed open by someone outside, shattering the peace and tranquility.

Princess Xu came in after a long while. Seeing Wen Yu pondering those meaningless theories about life again, she said helplessly, "Wen Yu, you're a girl, why do you act like those scholars who hold onto the so-called 'Yu Xiaogang Theory,' pondering the meaning of life all day long?"

"These things are completely useless to you."

In Xu Jiujiu's opinion, Wen Yu was exceptionally talented and should have focused on cultivation to surpass Senior Wang Xian'er as soon as possible, instead of getting bogged down in these empty theories.

Only those worthless people who believe in Yu Xiaogang's theories would do such a thing; it's just a way to comfort themselves.

As the Star Luo Princess, she already harbored prejudice against Yu Xiaogang, the theoretical master of Shrek Academy.

There are no useless Soul Masters, only useless Martial Souls?
Such words can only fool those who are simple-minded.

Only those who have truly experienced cultivation understand that without a top-tier martial spirit, no matter how hard one tries, it will ultimately be in vain.

"Princess Xu Jiujiu, I was merely idly contemplating the meaning of life. Are you going to take away even this simple pleasure from me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Yu suddenly stepped in front of Xu Jiujiu, gently took her hand, and put his other hand around her waist. He then whispered something in Xu Jiujiu's ear.

Even though they were both girls, every time Wen Yu got close to him, his heart would race for a long time. Could it be that he had fallen for a girl?

Impossible, absolutely impossible! Her sexual orientation is clearly heterosexual!
"Could you let go of me first? Every time I come here, you hold me like this. It's too ambiguous between us." Xu Jiujiu avoided Wen Yu's gentle gaze and said with her cheeks flushed.

"Why are you shy? We're all girls, what's there to be shy about?"

"But...but you can't get this close!"

"Tsk~ You wouldn't be..."

"asshole!"

She wanted to push Wen Yu away for a long time, but she didn't expect that Wen Yu, who was a healing-type soul master, was stronger than her, a control-type soul master.

Wen Yu not only didn't let go, but instead pulled her into a dance.

"Princess Xu Jiujiu, while I was contemplating the meaning of life, I suddenly realized that human life, like everything else in the world, is finite. If we don't do something meaningful now, we might regret it later."

"Shut up, you bastard! Stop trying to seduce me into usurping the throne! If my brother hears about such treasonous words, we'll both be dead!"

“But I think, Princess Jiu Jiu, you actually have your own ideas, don’t you? Why not do something truly meaningful in your limited lifespan, such as becoming the first empress in the Star Luo Empire?”

"Wen Yu, I really think now that if you didn't have that mouth of yours, you would be the most perfect girl!"

"But that's my weakness. But I don't think it's bad; on the contrary, I find it quite interesting."

"You son of a bitch..." Xu Jiujiu almost swore, but ultimately held back.

She ignored Wen Yu and let him pull her to dance—as long as she didn't respond, those seductive words wouldn't affect her!
Inside the palace...

At this moment, Xu Jiawei's unease grew stronger.

Why haven't the people he sent out and that level-nine soul master returned yet?
Could it be that the level nine soul master has run away? But as soon as this thought popped into his head, he dismissed it. The level nine soul master knew very well what the consequences would be if he dared to run away.

Once he reveals his "thing" to the public, even the Sun and Moon Empire will never give him a place to hide.

Ultimately, what that level-nine soul master is doing is essentially treason.

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside Xu Jiawei and whispered, "Your Majesty..."

Xu Jiawei frowned, immediately stood up and walked outside: "Come with me!"

Outside the palace, Xu Jiawei saw that only Lin Tou had returned, and asked in confusion, "Senior Lin, why are you the only one who came back?"

"Your Majesty!" Lin Tou hurriedly stepped forward, but was stopped by the Title Douluo beside him.

The other party told him to stay away from His Majesty, since it was still uncertain whether the man in front of him had been replaced.

Seeing this, Lin Tou was not angry. He simply recounted everything that had happened in the far north, as Jin Tianming had instructed.

Xu Jiawei was also extremely shocked when he heard that "the three kings of the far north joined forces at the same time." In this case, the failure of the mission was understandable.

As for why only Lin Tou returned, he guessed that the level nine soul master must have his own way of protecting himself.

He looked at the Title Douluo beside him, signaling the other to check if Lin Tou had any problems.

The titled Douluo carefully sensed the object with his soul power, and after confirming that it was correct, he nodded to Xu Jiawei.

Xu Jiawei then said to Lin Tou, "Teacher Lin, please come with me into the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

This time, the titled Douluo did not stop him, allowing Lin Tou to follow behind Xu Jiawei.

The perception just now confirmed that the person in front of him was the ninth-level Soul Master. Moreover, this Soul Master had met with Xu Jiawei alone before, so he shouldn't be foolish enough to make a move at this time.

After all, he wasn't the only titled Douluo in the palace.

But what happened the next second almost froze him in place.

Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, rushing to Xu Jiawei's side in an instant and kicking Lin Tou, who had attacked His Majesty, flying away.

The other Title Douluos who were hiding in the shadows also immediately appeared and stepped forward to hold Lin down.

Xu Jiawei clutched his wound, his face filled with pain and disbelief. He knew Lin Tou all too well. The only one who could provide protection for this level nine soul master was his Star Luo Empire. So why would Lin Tou do this?
The titled Douluo immediately used his soul power to suppress Xu Jiawei's wounds, then roared at the dumbfounded guards beside him: "What are you all standing there for! Go and invite the Immortal Physician to join us!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The guard realized what was happening and immediately turned and ran away.

Meanwhile, in Wen Yu's room, Xu Jiujiu suddenly learned that her brother had been attacked. She immediately stopped dancing and said, "Wen Yu, let's go see!" Without waiting for Wen Yu's reply, she rushed out of the room.

After Wen Yu realized what was happening, she didn't follow immediately, but instead turned to look at the cluster of flowers from before.

By now, those flowers had completely withered. "Life is so fragile."

She murmured softly, "However, I still want to thank you for the gift, Jin Tianming."

Withdrawing her gaze, Wen Yu slowly followed Xu Jiujiu's footsteps...
