Douluo Continent: All I Do Is Destroy Rings is Skill.

Chapter 347 War...is a dirty business

"So, who exactly is the person you intend to marry into, Your Majesty? Ning Wuque?"

"Exactly."

Nodding emphatically, Xu Tianran answered his sister's question with satisfaction, then looked down and gave Ju Zi a pleading look.

The latter understood and then got up to clean up the guest hall that Xu Tianzhen had messed up. While she was cleaning, Xu Tianzhen, who finally figured out what her brother was planning, turned her head slightly.

She looked at Meng Hongchen, who was already in a daze, and pointed at her, asking curiously, "Then why did you call Sister Meng over here? Don't tell me you're planning to have her keep me company."

"Exactly."

"Huh? Sister Meng is willing? The Master of the Red Dust Hall will agree? And you, as her older brother, will you agree as well?"

With his eyes wide open, Xu Tianzhen looked extremely shocked, appearing somewhat endearing to the group of people sitting upright.

She peeked out and scanned the three of them.

Faced with her question, Meng Hongchen, who had not yet come to her senses, did not answer. Jing Hongchen spoke first: "All the sacrifices are for the empire to be able to stand above the world. Moreover, Meng Hongchen does not oppose or disagree with this matter."

"Ah, well—I trust Ning Wuque's character. If you ask me, there aren't many people who are good enough for my sister besides him. Besides, we have a pretty good personal relationship, and I can talk to him directly about anything."

"You—you all! That's outrageous!"

Xu Tianzhen was so angry that her face turned red and her neck bulged. She said that she felt Meng Hongchen's voice sounded a little off when he asked her questions yesterday. Oh, I see!

But who is she? She's a princess! How could she possibly—how could she possibly—how could she possibly be married off to another woman, the same married man?!

Xu Tianran had anticipated his sister's reaction, but it didn't matter. If this could win him the support of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and Ning Wuque's approval, then all the sacrifices would be worthwhile.

His goal was to unify the two continents and exterminate the Star Luo Empire; he had not forgotten the vow he made to Ju Zi.

Because of what happened ten thousand years ago, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is now in a neutral state. In fact, they already have some trade relations with the Sun Moon Empire, so there is not only no conflict but also a basis for cooperation.

As the saying goes, war is a dirty business!

In business, the more people involved, the bigger the pie becomes. Forming alliances is the most efficient way to quickly end a conflict. Those who act justly will find many helpers, while those who act unjustly will find few. The more friends you have, the better.

Regardless of whether a friend is good or evil, as long as they can help him achieve his goals, they are a good friend.

"So what? Didn't you say you liked him? Besides, he already has two wives. You'll have to accept them anyway. What difference does it make to you whether he has two or three wives?"

Xu Tianran raised his head and looked down at Xu Tianzhen sitting in the seat. The oranges next to him, who had just finished cleaning up the floor, handed him a cup of tea. He reached out and took it, wiping the lid as he continued, "Besides, I didn't expect him to fall in love with you. Moreover, you've only met once. I don't expect you two to be mutually attracted. It's all about marriage, marriage first, then marriage."

"Your Majesty's words may be harsh, but they are the truth. I have no time for you to woo him and integrate into his family. War is imminent, and my ministers and generals are eager to intervene. If you still want your freedom, you'd better obey me today and not make things too ugly later!"

"You—aren't you still my brother?!"

"Of course I'm your older brother, your own brother born of the same father! It's precisely because I'm your older brother that I've tolerated your willfulness time and time again! That's why I've given you the opportunity to be free!"

Although Xu Tianran did not physically reprimand him, anyone could clearly hear the anger and warning in his words: "This is not child's play. You'd better not cause trouble today. Just sit here quietly and weakly and wait for everything to end, praying that you still have some use."

Remember this: war doesn't care if you're a princess or how powerful your martial soul is. Even a titled Douluo or a Super Douluo can fall and sacrifice themselves. You only have one task: to maximize your value and advance the progress of the Empire's Glory!

After the war ends, you'll still be your innocent princess. As long as you survive, I won't be as heartless as your other brothers.

He has wiped out the entire family of that heartless bastard.

These were blatant threats; how could a naive young girl bear them? After hearing her elder brother's words, Xu Tianzhen felt incredibly heavy-hearted, and she lowered her head, unable to think straight.

Tick-tock~ Tick-tock~

Tears streamed down her face. The events that had unfolded in just a few minutes had shattered her heart into pieces, leaving it as if it had been peeled away and broken into dust.

She found it hard to accept, so her body chose to cry as a way to quickly release her emotions.

"Your Majesty, isn't this a bit too much for Xiao Zhen—"

Looking at Xu Tianran's innocent appearance, Ju Zi felt a surge of maternal love and grabbed his arm, pleading softly.

Xu Tianran waved his hand dismissively, not wanting to say more. The way he looked at Xu Tianzhen was like a businessman looking at a product on a shelf, his shrewd eyes calculating how to get the upcoming buyer to buy.

Seeing Xu Tianran like this, Ju Zi didn't dare to say anything more. She could only silently take out a piece of silk cloth to wipe away Xu Tianzhen's tears. Finally, she heard Xu Tianran's voice in her ear: "Take her to change into a decent dress and put on some light makeup later. There's still more than half an hour before the agreed time, which should be enough."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

At the long table, Meng Hongchen, who had come to her senses because of Xu Tianran's temper, lowered her head without daring to make a sound. After seeing Xu Tianzhen's appearance, she reached out and comforted her hand.

Before him, Jing Hongchen lowered his head and pretended that nothing had happened, closing his eyes to meditate. He didn't want to make a mistake at this critical juncture, and he knew exactly what the strength of the Sun Moon Empire was now.

It's safe to say that unless a divine intervention or other unforeseen event occurs in the Douluo Three Kingdoms, they could conquer it within five years at most! This isn't a joke; it's a fact calculated thousands of times on paper. Soul tools are the most powerful thing.

Sitting next to Jing Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen tilted his head back and drank his tea in silence, treating it as a bit of fun.

War—

It was indeed an incredibly dirty business, and an extremely dirty game.

Not long after, Xu Tianzhen, having finished crying, left obediently under the guidance of Ju Zi, looking aggrieved.

She understood completely now that her brother was serious this time, and it wasn't a joke like before.

If she really dares to act willfully and capriciously at this critical juncture—it goes without saying what will happen.
