Douluo Continent: The Butterfly, Starting from the Authority of Death

Xue Chen, whose martial soul is the Shadow Dragon Dagger, is skilled in assassination and hides in the shadows.

On the battlefield between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire, he assassinated high-ranking Star Luo officials multiple times, and even Wang Xian'er was assassinated by him twice.

At that time, Xue Chen was not yet a Title Douluo, but even so, he escaped capture after his assassination attempt failed.

Later, as the Sun Moon Empire eased its relationship with the Douluo Three Kingdoms, there was no further news of Xue Chen.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, he has already broken through to the title level.

Why are you here?

Xue Chen did not answer Wang Xian'er's rambling about old friends; he was only wary now.

Support Soul Masters are not without combat power. In this era, Soul Tools can bring support Soul Masters considerable combat power.

Oranges were also a key object of Xu Tianran's protection, so Xue Chen had to be cautious.

In particular, Wang Xian'er's soul power fluctuations far exceeded what he knew of level 95.

Wang Xian'er said in a gentle and peaceful tone, "There's no particular reason, I just wanted to come and see the largest city on the mainland."

"Heh." Xue Chen smiled insincerely. "The deputy head of the Star Luo Offering Hall, the number one healing-type Soul Master on the continent, is probably a level 97 Title Douluo. I don't believe a single word you say."

"There's no need to be so wary of me." Wang Xian'er sized up Xue Chen, then glanced at Ju Zi, who was hidden behind Xue Chen, and smiled gently.

"Would it put your minds at ease if I told you that I had already left the Star Luo Empire?"

"impossible!"

Ju Zi and Xue Chen's expressions changed drastically, their voices becoming resolute.

What a joke! A level 97 healing soul master wants to leave the Star Luo Empire.

Would Xu Jiawei agree?

Moreover, he is a healing-type Soul Master.

Knowing the other party wouldn't believe her, Wang Xian'er continued, "I am now Miss Xia Die's protector, thanks to the kindness she has shown me, and that's all."

"Xia Die, protector of the path?"

The Star Luo Empire and Shrek Academy are deliberately keeping the news under wraps, and even the Sun Moon Empire is unaware of much about what has happened in the Star Luo Empire recently.

After Wang Xian'er reminded them, Ju Zi and Xue Chen took a closer look at the girl with silver-purple hair who was being protected behind Wang Xian'er.

The girl had delicate features and looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old.

She wore a long purple dress.

Calm and serene

Judging from her demeanor, she seems like a young lady from a wealthy family.

"Nice to meet you, Your Excellency Xuechen, Miss Ju Zi. I am Xia Die. Elder Wang is the protector my teacher invited for me." Xia Die greeted them in a gentle voice.

"We are here to participate in the Sun and Moon Auction at the invitation of Alliance Leader Shangguan."

"I've got my eye on the Crimson Flame Fruit and the Snow Lotus, but because I don't have enough funds, I'm auctioning off the pills my teacher gave me in hopes of getting some Gold Soul Coins."

Xia Die spoke sincerely, but Ju Zi and Xue Chen fell silent.

Wang Xian'er did not refute what Miss Xia Die said, which meant that the other party was indeed the protector of the silver-purple-haired girl in front of her.

They forcibly demanded people from the Star Luo Empire, yet they weren't held accountable by the Star Luo authorities.

At least so far, as Wang Xian'er stands here, the intelligence department infiltrating Xingluo has not received any news of her departure.

Either Wang Xian'er did not betray the Star Luo Empire, or the Star Luo Empire dared not pursue the matter.

Either way, it's something worth pondering.

Whether it's Wang Xian'er, the number one healing soul master on the continent, or Xia Die, or their teacher behind her.

There's probably more to it than meets the eye.

I wonder just how skilled that teacher must be.

Level 97, level 98, or perhaps the legendary Limit Douluo?

This is beyond their ability to handle.

"So, you pose no threat to the Sun Moon Empire?"

Ju Zi asked, almost as if possessed, that her parents had died under the iron hooves of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion of the Star Luo Empire. She resented the Star Luo Empire, but not to the point of killing everyone she saw.

Xu Tianran was assassinated only six months ago.

Although her personality has changed drastically, it is still within Orange's acceptable range.

It hasn't reached the point in the original story where Huo Yuhao meets Ju Zi yet.

At that time, I comforted myself with the idea that I had Stockholm syndrome when I was with Xu Tianran.

At least for now, Orange is still very grateful to Xu Tianran.

Hearing what Ju Zi said, Wang Xian'er thought for a moment and said, "You may think that my leaving the Star Luo Empire is a bit like deceiving myself, but what happens to the Star Luo Empire in the future has nothing to do with me."

"I have some grudges against His Majesty Xuechen, but on the battlefield, life and death are left to fate."

There's no need to take your anger out on others.

The space fell into a long silence.

"Why!"

Finally, Xue Chen sighed and said, "Miss Orange, don't forget why we came here."

"I know."

Orange nodded, gathering her chaotic thoughts.

She looked up again, towards Wang Xian'er and Xia Die.

"We want to confirm the true effect of that pill." Orange's tone became serious. In any case, this might be the only pill that could restore Xu Tianran.

"Have you seen the effects of the elixir?" Xia Die replied.

"Yes." Orange paused for a moment after hearing this. "We want to know if there will be any side effects in the future, and also if all kinds of severed limbs can be restored, right?"

"Actually, you already know the answer, don't you!"

Xia Die spoke, but Wang Xian'er didn't reply at all.

"We want concrete information, not answers deduced from instruments," Orange sighed. "Given the past relationship between our two countries, we didn't really trust you."

"If I put myself in your shoes, I'm afraid you would feel the same way."

Seemingly fearing that Xia Die might misunderstand, Ju Zi added a sentence afterward.

Upon hearing this, Xia Die smiled slightly and said, "You can investigate the matter between me and Elder Wang. We also plan to stay in the Sun Moon Empire for a long time."

"As for the pills..." Xia Die paused, "They have no side effects. They can regenerate severed limbs, and even if there is no physical disability, taking them can repair one's hidden injuries."

"However, since you've come to inquire, you must have noticed something unusual."

"Something created from nothing cannot be exactly the same as the original."

"Normal activities are fine, but there's a feeling of sluggishness, and as for cultivation, I'm afraid even with pills reshaping the body, it still won't be possible."

"I see."

A fleeting hint of disappointment crossed Orange's voice.

"I don't know, are there any others?"

"The pills were given to me by my teacher. Although I can also refine pills, I am still far behind my teacher. It's a pity I can't do it."

"We understand."

Orange nodded, then looked up at Xue Chen.

Xue Chen nodded and gestured to Ju Zi.

With a flick of her wrist, the soul tool flashed a few times.

Two trays of medicinal herbs, arranged in rows, appeared on the empty table next to them.

In addition, there is a Gold Soul Coin card.

Xia Die glanced at the three items on the table, then quickly looked away, her tone tinged with doubt:

"Miss Orange, what's going on here...?"

"These are the spiritual herbs you two requested: a 60,000-year-old Crimson Flame Fruit and an 80,000-year-old Snow Lotus."

"This remaining Gold Soul Coin card contains 50 million Gold Soul Coins, since we can't fully estimate the value of the pills you're auctioning. Consider it a token of friendship."

"Having more friends means having more options, and that's also what our Prince means."
