Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

"Wen Yu, do you think there's any hope for my brother?" Xu Jiujiu asked Wen Yu beside her.

She was still unwilling to give up—it would be such a pity for her brother to die so young, especially since his children were all extremely young and could not possibly support such a vast enterprise as the Star Luo Empire.

"Isn't this good?" Wen Yu glanced at Xu Jiujiu. "This way you can rule in your own right, and then slowly strip away power. The Star Luo Empire will be yours sooner or later."

"Wen Yu, can you please stop thinking about me inheriting the throne?!"

"But if you don't inherit the throne, how will I make my mark in the future?"

"Aren't you a healing-type Soul Master?"

"But I want to play politics! I want to experience the power of being a female politician, is that not allowed? Princess Xu Jiujiu!" Wen Yu suddenly stopped and looked at Xu Jiujiu gently, her eyes seeming to be pleading with her.

Faced with the plea of ​​such a beautiful girl, almost no one could refuse.

For a moment, Xu Jiujiu almost agreed, but reason prevailed over her impulse, and she said, "Wen Yu, be serious!"

"But I've already been very serious, Princess Xu Jiujiu, can't you grant this humble woman's request?"

"This isn't a request, you want me beheaded!"

"Yeah! Anyway, you only get slashed once, it's nothing serious."

Xu Jiujiu: ...

At this moment, Xu Jiujiu really wanted to use his martial spirit to smash this damned, scheming woman in front of him to death—she looked as gentle as an angel on the surface, but her heart was full of calculations, and she had no conscience at all!
“ε=(ο｀*))) Sigh, with a best friend like you, when will I, Wen Yu, ever achieve my goal!” Wen Yu sighed softly, and couldn’t help but walk out of the corridor, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, and murmured, “Oh, heavens, how cruel you are to me.”

When will Xu Jiujiu be able to become a board member?

"..." Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu was so angry that she strode over, glared at Wen Yu's flawless profile, and roared, "Wen Yu, if you want to kill me, just say so!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Yu lowered her head and met Xu Jiujiu's eyes, which were like starry gems.

After a moment of silence, she slowly spoke: "Princess Jiu Jiu, do you really not want to?"

"Fine, you'll just say 'I don't want to' anyway." Wen Yu didn't bother waiting for an answer and walked forward on her own.

Now she wanted to know even more what that short-lived Xu Jiawei wanted from her and Xu Jiujiu.

Xu Jiujiu, who remained in the same spot, had already been tempted. Whether man or woman, as long as one is human, greed and desire will escalate with status.

Xu Jiujiu had long harbored this thought, especially after seeing her elder brother join the ranks of those who "died young." The seed of "ambition" in her heart had already quietly sprouted.

She had suppressed it with reason before, but now Wen Yu had stirred it up again.

Reason told her that Wen Yu had no good intentions; but her ambition urged her to seize this opportunity.

In the end, Xu Jiujiu suppressed her inner turmoil and hurriedly followed Wen Yu's steps.

Inside the palace, security was tight at this moment.

Ever since Xu Jiawei was attacked by assassins, the level of security here has been so high that even if Xuanzi came, he would have to get beaten up before he could get in. As for why Xuanzi was used as an example, it's simply because in the current Douluo Continent, only Xuanzi is suitable to be used as such a metaphor.

Wen Yu and Xu Jiujiu walked in side by side, led by a titled Douluo.

When the two men saw Xu Jiawei, who was pale-faced and leaning against the dragon throne, panting heavily, their expressions were quite different.

Xu Jiujiu immediately ran over and asked with concern, "Brother, are you alright?" "Jiujiu!" Xu Jiawei helplessly stroked his sister's head—he knew his own health condition all too well, "I'm afraid I don't have many days left to live."

His gaze slowly fell on Wen Yu, and he asked, "Wen Yu, how is your cultivation going these days?"

"If we participate in the Soul Master Competition, we can at least lead the Star Luo team to the finals—provided nothing unexpected happens."

"What if something unexpected happens?" Xu Jiawei pressed.

"Then we'll just have to watch the game from the stands." Wen Yu said gently, but everyone who heard her said it felt off.

"..." Xu Jiawei immediately became interested and, with Xu Jiujiu's help, adjusted his sitting posture. "Do you have any concerns?"

"Your Majesty, I am merely a healing-type Soul Master."

If we encounter other 'monsters' from my family, I can't possibly be a 'healer' going to fight those warriors head-on, can I? You should first ask the Star Luo team's combat personnel if they can withstand it.

"If they get killed before I can even start treating them, what's the point of the competition?" Wen Yu said frankly.

If it's about scheming and plotting, she can play along with anyone—her greatest strength is her patience.

But when faced with overwhelming power, those schemes and tricks are completely useless.

On this continent, as long as you possess the strongest power, any conspiracy or trickery can be shattered with a single punch.

In her eyes, Jin Tianming and Mo Yan were the most terrifying beings.

Jin Tianming was so arrogant that he believed he could defeat anyone in the world, simply because he had absolute strength; while Mo Yan, that guy, seemed lazy, but he always hid his strength very well.

It must be said that Mo Yan not only inherited the original body's laziness, but also its forbearance; while Wen Yu inherited the original body's patience.

Otherwise, with his original abilities, he could have started the "Holy Sun Moon Project" long ago, without having to wait until the Soul Master Competition ended—but he just happens to be that patient.

He truly deserves to be the "father" that they, his clones, revere the most!
"is it?"

Xu Jiawei sighed softly, his tone tinged with helplessness: "In an era of great strife, this is how things are."

I also feel that war is imminent.

"Your Majesty need not worry too much, since you will be passing away soon anyway." Wen Yu said something extremely lacking in emotional intelligence, but her expression was full of "comfort".

Yes, she said that on purpose!
Everyone present:...

Xu Jiawei: "Actually, Wen Yu, you don't always have to tell the truth!"

"I still prefer to state the facts. If I tell lies, it makes me seem hypocritical." After Wen Yu finished speaking, he looked at her deeply for a long time.

At this moment, Xu Jiujiu was staring at Wen Yu.

She never expected Wen Yu to be so bold.

Perhaps they didn't realize that their elder brother didn't actually care. He treated Wen Yu differently because of her powerful background, and he was particularly "double-standard" towards her.

Look at this, this is the Emperor who once studied at Shrek Academy. He really knows how to play the double standard perfectly!
