Douluo Continent: Copying Ya Li, the Carefree King of the Sun and Moon

It's good that they're all familiar...

Chapter 140 Return to the Sun and Moon Empire

Xu Yanli took the jade box, opened it, and glanced inside.

Inside was a glistening dewdrop, slowly rolling in the box, its entire body radiating a halo of light.

He closed the box, put it into his soul tool, and continued to follow Liehuo Xingjiao into the room.

At the deepest part of the pool, there grows a golden fairy herb with leaves like chrysanthemums and petals all in gold. It blooms quietly in the very center where ice and fire meet.

Qirong Tongtianju (奇茸通天菊).

Beside it, there was an even stranger herb.

The petals are red and white, looking like they were carved from a single piece of jade. Each petal is as thin as a cicada's wing, trembling gently in the wind.

A red thread was wrapped around the flower stem, with the other end tied to a blue stone by the pool.

The red petals of love bring heartbreak.

Liehuo Xingjiao walked to the blue stone, squatted down, and gently touched the red thread. Her tone suddenly became very soft.

"This Acacia Heartbreak Red was transplanted from elsewhere by Tang San. He originally intended to leave it to his descendants, but ten thousand years have passed, and his descendants have never come here."

She looked up at Xu Yanli, her expression somewhat complicated.

"Are you taking it with you?"

Xu Yanli stared at the red and white immortal herb and remained silent for a long time.

The red petals of love bring heartbreak.

In the original novel, Huo Yuhao risked his life to pick this flower in order to save Wang Dong'er, and almost died there.

Because the extreme ice froze the blood...

But now, this immortal herb grows quietly in front of him, without any restrictions, and he can reach out and pluck it.

“Take him away,” he said.

Liehuo Xingjiao nodded, carefully untied the red thread from the bluestone, pulled it up by the roots and stem, and put it into a specially made jade box.

“This is a love-sick red acacia,” she said, closing the jade box and handing it to Xu Yanli. “It is currently unclaimed. If you wish to use it, you will need to reclaim it as your owner, requiring the blood of your heart, born from the deepest love.”

Xu Yanli took the jade box and put it into his soul tool.

"Is there anything else?" he asked.

Liehuo Xingjiao stood up, looked around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, and shook her head: "That's about enough. The rest aren't old enough yet. We can let them grow for a few more years before picking them."

She paused, then suddenly laughed: "If you'd like, take us with you. We've been here for ten thousand years, and we're already tired of it."

The eight-cornered ice grass behind him nodded, its icy blue eyes full of anticipation.

Xu Yanli looked at them, remained silent for two seconds, and then nodded slightly.

"it is good."

Liehuo Xingjiao's eyes lit up instantly, and Bajiao Xuanbingcao's lips also curled into a faint smile.

The other immortal herbs and spirit beasts went even crazier. Some spun around in place, some hugged each other, and some squatted on the ground, covering their faces and shaking violently.

a thousand years.

They waited ten thousand years, and finally got the chance to leave.

Xu Yanli stood beside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, sensing the ecstatic immortal herbs in his Sea of ​​Spirit, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Where do you plan to stay?" Xu Yanli asked.

“Your spiritual sea, we can dwell near the seed of life.”

He turned and walked out of the poisonous miasma.

The Fiery Apricot Blossom, the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, and other transformed immortal herbs and soul beasts all entered Xu Yanli's spiritual sea.

The setting sun dyed the Sunset Forest crimson. When Xu Yanli emerged from the poisonous miasma, Long Xiaoyao was waiting for him on a large rock.

Upon noticing that something was amiss with his aura, Long Xiaoyao's expression changed slightly.

"This is……"

"Take it away." Xu Yanli said succinctly.

Long Xiaoyao remained silent for two seconds, then nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Xu Yanli released his communication soul tool and sent a message to Yue Zhengling: "I've finished my business. Come back immediately."

Then he turned around and looked at the immortal herbs behind him.

"You'll have to make do for a few days in my storage soul tool. Once we get to Mingdu, I'll arrange a place for you."

Liehuo Xingjiao nodded and transformed into a streak of red light, entering the soul tool.

The eight-cornered ice grass followed closely behind, transforming into a beam of blue light.

The same thing happened to the other immortal herbs; beams of light flew into the soul guide and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xu Yanli patted the soul tool at his waist and nodded in satisfaction.

"Elder Long, let's go."

Long Xiaoyao grabbed his shoulder, and the two took off into the air, flying north.

Two days later, they caught up with the main force at a post station along the official road.

When Yue Zhengling saw that Xu Yanli had returned unharmed, she breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, you're finally back."

Xu Yanli smiled and patted his shoulder: "Let's go home."

The convoy resumed its journey and headed towards Mingdu.

Three days later, Mingdu's soul-guided defense system finally came into view.

From afar, you could see a dark mass of people at the city gate.

As the convoy drew closer, Xu Yanli realized that there were not only commoners at the city gate, but also a group of officials.

At the very front was a bright yellow canopy.

The Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, and his cheap father, came in person.

Xu Yanli frowned slightly, pushed open the car door, and jumped out.

When the emperor saw him, a rare smile appeared on his face, and he strode forward to greet him.

"Good! Good! Good!" He said "good" three times in a row, and patted Xu Yanli's shoulder hard. "I knew you could do it!"

Xu Yanli bowed and said, "Your subject is fortunate to have fulfilled his mission."

The emperor laughed heartily, grabbed his hand, and led him into the city.

Behind them, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's team was surrounded by a huge crowd of people, cheers, applause, and whistles all mixed together, making people's ears ring.

Xu Yanli walked at the front, his gaze passing over the crowd and landing on an inconspicuous corner at the city gate.

Xu Tianran sat in a wheelchair, dressed in a black brocade robe, smiling quietly as he watched him.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Xu Tianran's smile deepened, and he nodded slightly at him.

Xu Yanli nodded, withdrew his gaze, and followed the emperor into the Ming capital.

Behind them, the city gate slowly closed.

The hustle and bustle of Mingdu was kept outside the city, but the streets inside the city remained lively.

The people spontaneously lined both sides of the road, waving flags and shouting at the top of their lungs, "Long live the carefree king! Long live the Sun and Moon Empire!"

Xu Yanli walked down the street, listening to the cheers, but his heart was as calm as a stagnant pool.

He was thinking about how to distribute those immortal herbs and spirit beasts.

As he was pondering this, the emperor's voice suddenly came from the side.

"Yan Li".

Xu Yanli came to his senses: "Father?"

The emperor looked at him, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

"You've caused quite a stir in Xingluo City this time."

Xu Yanli remained silent for a moment before speaking calmly, "Your subject only did what he was supposed to do."

The emperor stared at him for a long time, then suddenly sighed.

"Never mind, it's good that you're back."

He waved his hand, signaling the eunuch to push the canopy forward, leaving Xu Yanli alone on the spot.

Xu Yanli stood on the street, watching the emperor's figure gradually disappear into the distance, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

Things that need to be done.

Yes, everything he did was what he should have done.

As for what others think or how they feel, that's their business.

He turned around and walked towards the direction of the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion.

The cheers behind him were still deafening, but his steps were much lighter than when he came.

Chapter 141 The Emperor-Killing Plan

In the study of the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion, Xu Yanli was busy packing up the things he had brought back from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

He carefully arranged the jade boxes neatly, labeled each one, and then locked them all in the secret room.

Fiery apricot blossoms, eight-pointed ice grass, beautiful tulips, and rare chrysanthemums reaching the heavens, along with the longing dew and the heartbreaking red of lovesickness...
