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

Chapter 93 Long Xiaoyao (Part 1)

Let's push time forward a little bit.

Mingdu, the Imperial Palace.

The Soul-Guiding Lamps illuminated the palace, making it shine brilliantly even at night.

"Senior Long, you've come to see me for the Gluttonous Douluo?"

The aged face of the Sun and Moon Emperor, seated in the main seat, showed a look of confusion. "You and Xuanzi have no relationship whatsoever, is it necessary to go to this extent?"

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyao smiled wryly and said, "I owe a favor to Mu En, the Dragon God Douluo of the Sea God Pavilion."

"He sent someone hoping I could speak on his behalf, saying that Xuanzi is his successor and cannot have such a stain on his reputation."

"Leaving aside the public, the official authorities absolutely cannot have this."

"Otherwise, it would have a very bad effect on Shrek's long-standing reputation."

"Your Majesty, I am also very troubled by this."

"Senior Long, it seems you owe quite a favor!"

The Sun and Moon Emperor was getting old after all. Before the processor could finish processing the meaning of Long Xiaoyao's words, the burly Kong Deming beside him smiled curiously.

"It wasn't small," Long Xiaoyao said bitterly. "It's all in the past."

What could he say?

Could he tell them that back then, Mu En and Ye Xishui were in love, and on their wedding night, before they even had a chance to "do the proper thing," Long Xiaoyao had already tested Ye Xishui's abilities before Mu En did?

Is it possible for such a revelation involving three Limit Douluo to be made public?

He ultimately owed Mu En, and he also owed Ye Xishui.

That's why Long Xiaoyao stayed by Ye Xishui's side.

When Mu En asked him for a favor, his words were so sincere that Long Xiaoyao was momentarily dazed, and a sense of guilt welled up in his heart. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to see the Sun and Moon Emperor.

He still had a relationship with the Emperor of the Sun and Moon, and they even had a mutually agreed-upon deal.

Otherwise, the Sun Moon Empire wouldn't have turned a blind eye to evil soul masters.

"Senior Dragon," the Sun and Moon Emperor sighed deeply, "Do you know the Healer Douluo?"

"I've heard about it." Long Xiaoyao nodded slightly. "It's said that not long ago, she had a fierce battle with Jing Hongchen of Mingde Hall."

"Senior Long, you flatter my disciple." Kong Deming shook his head. "That was hardly an intense battle. My good-for-nothing disciple was completely outmatched from beginning to end."

"Oh?"

A look of surprise crossed Long Xiaoyao's face.

"Useless, utterly useless!"

Kong Deming smiled bitterly, seemingly unwilling to say more.

"Senior Long." The Sun and Moon Emperor's voice rang out at the right time, "I can agree to your request. I will do my best to divert the rumors circulating among the common people, and also to help Taotie Douluo Xuanzi with public relations."

"However, we have one condition."

"What are the conditions?" Long Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wang Xian'er, and a girl named Xia Die who also came from the Star Luo Empire," the Sun and Moon Emperor paused, "You probably also have information about the two of them on your side."

"My condition is simple: our Sun Moon Empire will protect these two people."

"Your people must not touch them."

"Okay, I agree to this," Long Xiaoyao nodded without much thought.

Rumor has it that Wang Xian'er has broken through to level 97 and still possesses considerable combat power.

He didn't know much about the specifics.

That butterfly seems to be somewhat mysterious as well.

But more importantly, agreeing to Moon's request was a completion, and it was a way of giving an explanation.

Your guilt will also lessen.

As for why the Sun Moon Empire protected the two, Long Xiaoyao could roughly guess.

It's probably related to Xu Tianran.

The title of the number one healer on the mainland is no less prestigious than that of the Limit Douluo, not to mention that Wang Xian'er is from the same era as him and Mu En.

Wang Xian'er might be a little younger, but the difference wouldn't be that much.

Since there's no deep-seated hatred involved, I'll just consider it accumulating good karma.

If the Holy Spirit Cult and Ye Xishui were to let the doctor and his attendant go, they probably wouldn't say anything.

"Da da, da da da"

The sound of hurried footsteps caught the attention of the three people present.

An elderly man, who appeared quite well-off but was short and hunched over, strode in, holding a token with a gold border and the words "Mingdetang" written on it.

"Jing Hongchen, what are you doing here?" Kong Deming's gaze shifted slightly, landing on Jing Hongchen, who looked anxious and was running around aimlessly even though he hadn't recovered his strength yet.

His brows furrowed involuntarily, and his tone carried a hint of reproach.

"T-Teacher, what are you doing here?"

Jing Hongchen paused, her anxious expression turning to astonishment.

"Master of the Red Dust Hall, is there anything you wish to report?"

The Emperor of the Sun and Moon, seated at the head of the table, waved his hand, signaling Kong Deming not to rush.

Both Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen, who possessed the token, were able to enter and leave the palace with it in times of emergency.

This also reflects the Sun and Moon Emperor's trust in the two level-nine Soul Masters who possessed the strength to lift a cauldron.

"Your Majesty, please forgive my abrupt visit." Jing Hongchen bowed and continued, "I have urgent business to report to Your Majesty. I originally intended to come tomorrow, but I was worried that things might change if I waited too long, so I couldn't wait any longer."

Jing Hongchen's gaze shifted back and forth between her teacher and the man beside her, dressed in black with a cold, mature, and proud demeanor.

"Oh? What brings you here, Master Hongchen?" Emperor Riyue leaned back in his chair, straightening his posture, showing some interest in Hongchen's late-night intrusion.

"this----"

Jing Hongchen hesitated for a moment, glancing at Long Xiaoyao's position from time to time.

"Oh?" The Sun and Moon Emperor slapped his forehead, realizing what he meant. "I almost forgot to introduce you. This is Senior Long Xiaoyao, a powerful figure from the same era as Mu En of Shrek Sea God Pavilion, and also a Limit Douluo."

"Dragon—Dragon Xiaoyao!?" Jing Hongchen was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, they're all on our side."

"No need to hide anything, just say what you want to say." The Sun and Moon Emperor nodded seriously.

Jing Hongchen cupped his hands in greeting. He felt that he had heard the name Long Xiaoyao somewhere before. It wasn't a matter of strength, but rather that he had heard it at another time, but couldn't quite place it right now.

"Then I'll speak." Jing Hongchen coughed a few times, clearing his throat, "Today I went to the residence of the Immortal Healer Douluo, and we had a very pleasant conversation—"

The mirror reflects the mortal world, and so on and so forth.

In short, it can be summarized as, "Wang Xian'er and Xia Die want to enter the academy, possibly to seek protection and avoid interference from the Holy Spirit Cult."

After listening quietly to Jing Hongchen finish speaking, the three people above fell silent.

Good heavens, although this isn't officially joining the Sun Moon Empire, it's already showing signs of it.

But is Jing Hongchen really that shameless?

I was beaten up a few days ago and almost couldn't take care of myself, but today I'm chatting happily with someone?

Is that correct?

"Senior Long, what's your opinion on this matter?"

The Sun and Moon Emperor looked at Long Xiaoyao, and so did Kong Deming.

Jing Hongchen would never joke about something like this. To be precise, those two were going to secretly join the Sun Moon Empire, um—the Royal Academy.

"Isn't this great?" Long Xiaoyao knew what the two wanted to say. "Don't worry, you two."

"I guarantee that the Holy Spirit Cult will not take any action against Xia Die and Wang Xian'er, or even against anyone related to them."

"how?"

After Long Xiaoyao finished speaking, he waited for Kong Deming and the Sun and Moon Emperor's reply.

Emperor Sun and Moon and Kong Deming exchanged a glance.

The Sun and Moon Emperor nodded and said, "Senior Dragon, thank you for your constraints on the Holy Church. We will definitely do our best to resolve your request perfectly."

"We will do everything we can to ensure that Taotie Douluo Xuanzi will not be known as an evil soul master in the Sun Moon Empire."

"Um.

"6

The three of them gained a lot, but Jing Hongchen was completely confused.

"Beep beep~"

Long Xiaoyao took out a communication soul tool from his pocket.

The contact person is Zhong Liwu.

"Something terrible has happened, Senior Long!"

"Feng Ling is injured. The people who injured her are Xia Die and the Doctor Douluo Wang Xian'er."
