Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

The second prince of the Sun and Moon royal family chuckled, picked up a golden brocade handkerchief, wiped the small knife used for cutting meat, wiped it haphazardly on his mouth a few times, and then casually threw it on the ground.

Immediately, a maid knelt down and moved over, picking up the handkerchief while Xu Tianni stepped on her back.

Xu Tianni shifted her plump body, sinking into the wide seat like a fluid stream, adjusting herself into a more comfortable position.

His fat cheeks jiggled, and his sausage-like thick lips opened and closed again:

"Uncle Guoli has always said that if I become the crown prince, the imperial family and the empire will surely be in such and such a way."

Xu Guoli suddenly looked up, his heart and mind trembling, but his eyes burst forth with unimaginable ambition and brilliance.

"Your Highness, you mean..."

"In a few days, there will be an opportunity."

"Are you confident?" Xu Guoli seemed to have thought of something and became hesitant again.

Xu Tianni grinned, his dark skin making his teeth appear even whiter, with a few strands of bloody flesh still remaining between them.

He was naturally impatient and always preferred his meat cooked to a perfect doneness. And this time, with Xu Guoli's help, he estimated the chances of success to be at least 90%.

That for him was

"Absolutely foolproof."

Inside the closed side hall of the palace, the two men spoke in hushed tones.

a long time.

“Very well, then so be it, Your Highness Tianni. I can guarantee that no matter what happens, as long as no one runs away, the Guardian Hand will not receive a single word of news.”

Xu Guoli hesitated for a long time before finally making up his mind.

"But Your Highness must keep your promise. Once you act, we will both be in grave danger. There's no time to lose; I have many things to explain. I'll take my leave now."

He cupped his hands in greeting to Xu Tianni, then glanced intentionally or unintentionally at the numb-faced girl at Xu Tianni's feet before hurriedly pushing open the door and leaving.

In the instant he turned around, a barely perceptible ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

The briefly opened palace doors closed again, and in the suddenly quiet side hall, Xu Tianni tapped on the screen behind him.

"Brother Ni, are you crazy? You dare to mess with Master Kong's grandson?"

Chapter 63 Ghost Nana (4000)

A deep voice rang out from behind the screen, and a figure strode out. He wore a prince's robe similar in style to Xu Guoli's, but more luxurious, with a majestic seven-clawed dragon embroidered on the chest, its undulations rising and falling slightly with each step, exuding extraordinary power.

"Don't worry, Uncle Guoti, these precious geniuses are my future treasures. I'm too busy cherishing them to risk offending Master Kong. As long as this matter is accomplished, I have my own ways to shut Uncle Guoli up."

Xu Tianni narrowed his eyes and slowly changed his posture as he spoke.

"You just understand."

Xu Guoti nodded. This top-ranking prince, who directly controlled the imperial clan, paced a few steps, still uneasy, and asked:

"Are you sure you don't need to find a Title Douluo? I'm in the Douling Empire..."

“No.” Xu Tianni interrupted decisively. “This matter must be handled by someone we absolutely trust. Father will definitely investigate the traces of the Soul Master at the scene. If an eighth-level Soul Master is involved, even if they fail, Xu Tianran’s side won’t be able to find any clues, and we will still have room to maneuver.”

Taking a deep breath, Xu Guoti said nothing more, but turned his gaze to the maid at Xu Tianni's feet.

Xu Tianni rolled her eyes and reluctantly lifted her feet.

A faint, smoky light flashed by, and he looked at the maid who had collapsed limply, clicking his tongue in regret:

"What a pity, this floor mat is the one I've been most happy with in recent months."

……

The profound impact of Kong Tianxu's actions in just a few days continues. Xiao Hongchen has remained silent since leaving the laboratory, but his cultivation has become increasingly diligent. The royal family is also making intensive preparations for Princess Tianzhen's birthday banquet.

When Zhao Gou saw Kong Tianxu again, he was as if he had seen a ghost, and he no longer had the arrogant spirit he once had.

Kong Tianxu didn't mind; he was actually happy to have more peace and quiet. However, Xu Tianzhen had become quite attached to him. As the days went by, the three of them gradually became inseparable.

The high-level Soul Masters who came to teach the class changed again and again. Some were known to him, and some were not mentioned in the original work. Including Jing Hongchen, who finally appeared today, there were almost twenty level nine Soul Masters in the classroom.

The Sun Moon Sect alone, whose martial spirit foundation is not particularly strong, has more than twenty titled Douluo. The Star Luo Sect, which was originally the most powerful among the Three Kingdoms, probably has even more than that. Kong Tianxu wondered to himself, "Will I have to fight against dozens of people in the future?"

The setting sun cast long shadows along the academy's main road, its rays like blood. Lost in thought, he didn't notice that Xu Tianzhen, who was walking ahead of him, had stopped.

"Hey!" She waved her hand in front of his eyes.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Kong Tianxu then realized that the three of them had reached the fork in the road between the male and female dormitories.

"You big bad guy, pretending not to see me again." Xu Tianzhen crossed her arms angrily. "Remember to come to my birthday party tomorrow night! Grandpa Kong can't make it, but you and Sister Cain can't be absent!"

"Alright, alright, I'll be there on time. Make sure to prepare plenty of good food for the banquet." Kong Tianxu couldn't help but chuckle.

"Of course, I've had all your favorite dishes prepared." Xu Tianzhen nodded hurriedly, then realized she'd let something slip and added, her cheeks slightly flushed, "Don't, don't misunderstand! I just have a good memory, I didn't specifically remember your tastes!"

She glanced around twice, then hurriedly grabbed Cain's arm: "It's settled then! Let's go back now!" Before she finished speaking, she pulled Cain away quickly.

Kong Tianxu watched her hurriedly fleeing figure and Cain's teasing gaze, shook his head and chuckled, waved goodbye and turned to walk towards the dormitory.

Along the way, many students turned their heads when they saw him. After the last clash with Ji Juechen, the title of the number one genius in the history of the Sun Moon Empire had officially changed hands.

With his formidable strength, unparalleled talent, a background comparable to that of a direct descendant of royalty, and an exceptionally handsome appearance, he became almost a star in the academy.

If the small building he lived in hadn't actually been a special area pre-selected by Jing Hongchen, making it difficult for outsiders to approach, he would probably be in even more trouble now.

"Hmm? You really don't take compliments easily." As he approached the dormitory, Kong Tianxu suddenly stopped and frowned as he looked ahead.

"I didn't expect your senses to be so sharp." A soft voice sounded, and a woman walked out from around the corner of the corridor.

She wasn't exceptionally beautiful, but she was tall, even slightly taller than Cain, with a well-proportioned figure that exuded a wild yet harmonious charm. Her long, dark red hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, contrasting with her wheat-colored skin and the decorative black choker around her neck, giving her a unique and dashing style.

"This...senior?" Kong Tianxu glanced at her yellow school uniform, his muscles tensing as his eyes glistened. "I remember this building has access control, right? How did you get here? Is there something you need?"

“My martial spirit is a ghost, so it’s hard for regular access control to stop me. I came to find you…” She hesitated for a moment, then said with a wry smile, “Can we talk in your room?”

"Aside from this short knife I carry with me, I have no other weapons. Please rest assured, I have no ill intentions."

She drew a short knife that was much wider and thicker than normal size, and raised it with both hands to signal to Kong Tianxu.

"No need, we can say it here."

Kong Tianxu did not give in, but the soul power that was about to be unleashed had subsided.

After the brief confirmation, he knew that the girl in front of him was indeed not malicious, and with her newly arrived Soul Sect cultivation and the only level four soul tool she possessed, she could not possibly pose any threat to him.

Moreover, he already had a general idea of ​​who the other party was and why they had come today.

She took a deep breath. "My name is Nana."

Sure enough, Kong Tianxu thought to himself.

Nana took a few steps back, then suddenly knelt down, her eyes visibly reddening. "Young Master Kong, I beg you to help me. Nana is willing to serve you like a slave for the rest of her life."

Kong Tianxu turned away, refusing to accept her grand gesture.

"If you're talking about the Holy Spirit Cult, then forget it. I can't help you right now."

Judging from the Holy Spirit Cult stronghold that Huo Yuhao destroyed in the original novel, helping them doesn't seem like a big deal. But don't forget, Huo Yuhao has Long Xiaoyao's protection; he doesn't need to offend that madwoman Ye Xishui for Nana's sake.

When he mentioned the words "Holy Spirit Church," Nana suddenly raised her head, and a glimmer of hope appeared in her already tearful eyes, only to be quickly shattered by his rejection.

"You also know about the Holy Spirit Cult? Even with your family's power, you can't stand up to it?"

"I know I have nothing to give you,"

She stood up, two lines of tears streaming down her cheeks.

The dagger clattered to the ground. Nana, her eyes blurry with tears, looked at him and said:

"This body is the only one that is still relatively clean; I have never been touched by another man. If you are willing to help me, I am willing to give you everything."

“I mean, I can’t help you ‘right now’.” Kong Tianxu lowered his eyelids.

He twirled his fingers and continued:

"The Holy Spirit Cult is not as simple as you think. I will deal with them in due time, and I will not ask you for anything in return. But not now. Be patient, and you will see that day."

"Also, remember to keep it a secret."

Kong Tianxu patted her shoulder, but Nana suddenly grabbed his waist, her breathing becoming rapid. Her body trembled slightly due to the intense emotional turmoil.

"Thank you... thank you. I was on the verge of despair. If you hadn't helped me, I would have ended my own life sooner or later. Thank you for letting me know that in this corrupt country, there are still things worth believing in."

Kong Tianxu's expression, which had been completely calm, became somewhat stiff due to the unexpected hug. He took a deep breath, and cold air emanated from his fingertips.

"Ah~"

Nana shivered and trembled violently, releasing her grip on Kong Tianxu.

She paused for a moment, gradually recovering from her out-of-control emotions, before realizing that her posture was somewhat indecent.

With a slight blush, Nana hurriedly tidied herself up, gave Kong Tianxu a deep look, and said:

"Whether you lied to me or not, I want to thank you for giving me hope. If I have the chance next time, I would like to tell you about my story."

She took a few steps toward the stairwell, then turned back, her eyes regaining some of their liveliness, a sly smile playing on her lips:

"Furthermore, if you wish, what I say still stands; just let me know."

After saying that, she hurried downstairs as if fleeing.

"The Holy Spirit Cult..."

Kong Tianxu composed himself, exhaled a breath of stale air, and pushed open the door, preparing to cultivate.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a dark red dagger lying silently on the spot.

He bent down to pick it up, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

She even forgot to take her soul tool; it seems she's not as adept as she appears.

Nana walked briskly until she reached the bottom of the building, at which point the burning blush on her face began to fade. She patted her cheeks, feeling incredibly embarrassed.

"Isn't it said that the young masters of these noble families are all arrogant and dissolute, starting to do 'that' before they're even ten years old? How come he..."

How embarrassing! She tossed her ponytail, and the burning sensation from their earlier close contact seemed to resurface, causing her to unconsciously squeeze her legs together and quicken her pace on the night path.

Amidst the pounding of her heart, she didn't notice that ever since she came downstairs, a pair of eyes had been staring intently at her.

Watching her hurried departure, the owner of those eyes suddenly parted his lips from his ears, leaned back, and revealed a huge, silent smile to the sky.
