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

Chapter 114 The Crown Prince Reveals His True Colors?

Night falls.

The Ming capital city was brightly lit.

As the most prosperous city on the mainland, Mingdu is even more dazzling at night than during the day.

The soul-guided lamps floated in the air, illuminating the entire imperial city in a magnificent golden light.

Two luxurious soul-guided carriages engraved with royal crests slowly drove through the main street.

Royal guards clad in silver armor stood on either side, the air thick with a solemn and oppressive atmosphere.

Inside the carriage.

Ji Juechen held his sword, closed his eyes to rest, as if everything around him was irrelevant. Zhang Peng lifted the curtain and looked out at the carriage in front.

Two carriages, one in front of the other, carried Ji Juechen and Zhang Peng in the latter carriage.

Xia Die originally wanted to sit in the carriage that Zhang Peng and Ji Juechen were riding in, but she was pulled to the front.

"It seems the Crown Prince values ​​that girl named Orange very much," Zhang Peng murmured.

Leaving aside Xia Die, the person sitting in the carriage in front is Princess Xu Tianzhen of the Sun and Moon Royal Family.

But Ju Zi was able to ride in the same carriage with her, and having met Xu Tianran many times, besides Xue Chen, Ju Zi was the only one who traveled with him. It would be impossible not to say that she was a confidante.

"Is there anything special about a Three-Ring Soul Master?"

Or is it that the Crown Prince of Sun and Moon has a fondness for child brides?

Zhang Peng shook his head.

Nobility and such are irrelevant to him; all he needs to do is ensure the young lady's safety.

Regardless, he is no weaker now than when he was the Evil Soul Master.

Eleven undead knights at the Contra level, immune to holy and light elements, and one undead bone dragon at the near-title Douluo level.

If he cooperates properly with these undead creatures, he may be able to rival a level 97 Title Douluo.

These are all young ladies; they got them from her teacher to boost Zhang Peng's strength.

One can imagine how much effort the young lady had to put in.

Xia Die had no idea what Zhang Peng was thinking.

-

At this moment, Xia Die was sitting in the carriage in front.

She chatted idly with Ju Zi and Xu Tianzhen from time to time.

Instead of wearing her usual combat-ready clothes, Xia Die changed into a dark blue long dress.

Similar to the long dress that Aglaia specially made for her to wear to the banquet.

Of course, this long dress was rushed out of the tailor shop.

It's a way of remembering Ms. Aglaia.

"Miss Orange, are there any things we should be aware of when attending this banquet?"

Xia Die felt it was better to ask clearly to avoid being caught off guard later.

There shouldn't be any major problems, but she didn't want to make a mistake.

"All of my innocent older brothers will be attending this time."

Xu Tianzhen chuckled, looking somewhat carefree.

"Yes."

Ju Zi, exasperated, calmed Xu Tianzhen down and explained logically, "Miss Xia Die, you don't need to worry about anything. This banquet is just an ordinary banquet; these are His Majesty's exact words."

"However, there might be occasional minor incidents involving the royal family."

"so----"

Ju Zi glanced at Xu Tianzhen, unsure how to continue the conversation.

She is definitely on Xu Tianran's side.

But Xu Tianzhen is here, and she's a princess, so sometimes it's not good to be too explicit.

"I understand, I will be careful."

"Oh, right!"

Ju Zi hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "His Majesty told His Highness the Crown Prince that he would abdicate after the Soul Master Competition a year from now and pass the throne to the Crown Prince."

"? Father is going to abdicate!?" Xu Tianzhen was stunned.

"Yes, Your Highness," Orange said with a sigh of relief. "You are a princess of the Sun Moon Empire. You remember the Second Prince, don't you?"

Xu Tianzhen is a bit careless, but at eleven or twelve years old, he's not really stupid.

"Seriously, is my brother warning me?" Xu Tianzhen shrugged. "What can a princess like me do? It's Father's doing again."

"Okay, okay, Sister Orange, I understand what he means."

Xia Die listened quietly to Xu Tianzhen and Ju Zi's conversation, her expression remaining calm.

"Miss Xia Die, you—"

"Heh!" Xia Die shook her head slightly. "Isn't the soul-guiding barrier on this vehicle quite impressive?"

"I have no preference for either Sun Moon or Douluo Three Kingdoms."

"My teacher was the same."

"As for Elder Wang, the Star Crown Sect has a history of ten thousand years," Xia Die said, making a vague statement.

Orange was taken aback at first, then realized what was happening.

"We understand His Majesty the Immortal Physician's longing for his hometown."

"The Sun Moon Empire is also a part of the Douluo Continent, it has been since four thousand years ago."

"Sir, there's no need to test me like this."

Xia Die gently shook her head. "I only hope that in the future of the mainland, ordinary people can live better lives and there will be less oppression from nobles, sects, and even the royal family."

"In that case, there will be fewer evil soul masters, or rather, fewer fallen soul masters."

Xia Die was merely stating her own wishes, since Xu Tianran was revealing his intentions through oranges.

That means they want a clear stance from themselves and others.

Xu Tianzhen?

Surely no one really thinks that the princess who staged a coup and ascended to the throne was brainless?

It should be noted that the former Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Clan, He Caitou, was only a few years older than Xu Tianzhen. Now, when the Sun Moon Emperor launched a coup, Xu Tianzhen was already of a mature age.

Having gone through too many cycles of reincarnation, even though Crown Prince Xu Tianran is quite aware of his ambitions for the Douluo Continent.

Xia Die wouldn't be too surprised.

In the cycles of reincarnation she experienced, the cycles in which Krydela was overthrown also existed.

The rise and fall of dynasties, and the prosperity and decline of families.

In over thirty million reincarnations, I have seen far too many things.

Essentially, Xia Die also didn't believe that Xu Tianran could unify the Douluo Continent.

If your Sun Moon Empire were to unify, where would my Tang God King's faith come from?

In the original story, didn't Tang San also order Ju Zi to change the name of the Sun Moon Empire to the Heaven Dou Empire and then withdraw his troops?

After the matter was discussed, silence fell over the carriage.

"Miss Orange".

The sound of a butterfly broke the silence.

"Um?

Orange looked up at Xia Die, a look of confusion on her face.

Do you like the Crown Prince?

"?"

Orange suddenly stood up, her head making intimate contact with the car roof.

"Yo!"

With tears welling up in her eyes, she sat down again.

"Miss Xia Die, you can't say things like that."

"If His Highness finds out—"

Even though Ju Zi hadn't met Huo Yuhao, and Xu Tianran's disability had only lasted for half a year, not to the extent of the abnormality described in the original story, she was still somewhat afraid of Xu Tianran.

"Yes, actually, my brother values ​​Sister Orange a lot," Xu Tianzhen chimed in.

"Your Highness, that's impossible."

"Besides, I wouldn't dare to have such thoughts about Your Highness."

Although Ju Zi survived by taking two blows for Xu Tianran, she was regarded as a confidante by him.

But the difference in status is one thing.

The wife of the Crown Prince of Sun and Moon is almost certain to become the Empress of the Sun and Moon Empire.

"Nothing is impossible!" Xia Die said calmly. "When I was chatting with the Crown Prince before, he mentioned that Miss Ju Zi is the most important person to him besides his father, the Emperor."

"Even Princess Naïve might not be able to match this!"

"?" Xu Tianzhen's eyes widened. "No, really?"

"How could my brother, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, say something like that?"

"No, does that mean I'll have to call Sister Orange 'sister-in-law' from now on?"

"Your Highness, please watch your words." Orange was startled and quickly spoke up to stop her.

"Miss Xia Die————"

Orange took a few deep breaths. "I just want to stand by Your Highness's side. I dare not ask for anything else. Besides, aren't you being a bit nosy?"

"Perhaps!"

The butterfly remained noncommittal.

To be honest, she was genuinely curious.

What will become of these two in the end?

An ambitious crown prince and a empress with military capabilities.

Huo Yuhao?

Is that grilled fish a succubus?

As Xu Tianran's confidant, he could eat whatever he wanted.

Was I really captivated by a grilled fish?

Are you Huo Yuhao, a reincarnation of a five-star chef, or Liu Angxing who time-traveled?

In the original novel, Xu Tianran and Ju Zi's actions were all incredibly absurd.

Open the champagne at halftime, and kill your own Limit Douluo first.

Where are the oranges?

Hmm—you can't say she was wrong about the plan to kill Xu Tianran!

In the end, the child wasn't Xu Tianran's; it was Huo Yuhao's.

If they awaken their martial soul and find that it's not the martial soul of the Sun Moon Royal Family, there's no way to explain it!

"never mind."

Xia Die sighed inwardly, wondering what it had to do with her.

Elder Yi, your idea of ​​connecting to the will of another plane has really given me a difficult problem.

The carriage slowly drove into the palace.
