Douluo Continent: We agreed on a simulation, but they've come to life?

"Your Highness, why are you in such a hurry? Father is not dead yet, why are you already crying at his funeral?" A young man dressed in equally luxurious clothes and with slightly dark skin said jokingly beside Xu Tianran.

"Or is it that elder brother simply can't stand to see Father Emperor doing well?"

"You're talking nonsense! Fourth Prince, Father needs to rest and recuperate. I won't argue with you or disturb his peace, but..."

"My filial piety is witnessed by heaven and earth!!"

Xu Tianran snorted coldly and continued to kneel on the ground.

I wish I could kill that imperial physician right now.

He even suspected that the imperial physician was one of the fourth prince's men, just to see him make a fool of himself.

"Hehe, big brother wants the throne, and so do I. Let's see who has the best skills..." The richly dressed young man knelt beside Xu Tianran with a grin and said in a low voice.

"However, my Sun Moon Empire is a dignified dynasty that has lasted for ten thousand years. Would it be beneath the dignity of a great nation to pass the throne to a cripple?"

"..."

Xu Tianran clenched his fists secretly, but remained expressionless.

He couldn't help but have a fleeting thought about the olive branch that the Holy Spirit Church had extended to him a few days ago. After all, his father, that old bastard, had miraculously survived and hadn't been trampled to death by that guy named Lu Cheng. It was a pity that he had been so diligently "concerned" about him day and night.

Since he doesn't want to die, how can his son continue to watch his father suffer like this? Why not... lend him a hand!

Moreover, the Holy Spirit Cult doesn't require many positions, only the position of Grand Preceptor.

This was like asking a tiger for its skin, but he had no choice.

The power behind the fourth prince is too great, with the Sun Moon Military Headquarters and the Sun Moon Royal Family backing him up, and behind him...

As long as the old man dies, the throne will inevitably be his.

After all, he is the legitimate one.

Even if someone is disabled, it is perfectly legitimate and orthodox.

Kong Deming would certainly spare no effort to help him secure the throne. He knew the empire's pillar of stability all too well. He only wanted the empire to be "stable," so he would never side with the fourth prince and would only ensure that the throne was passed on peacefully.

May the grand plan of the Sun and Moon Empire for ten thousand years proceed smoothly.

That being the case...

He looked up, gave a wink to someone not far away, and only breathed a sigh of relief when a dark figure disappeared from sight.

Tonight... will be the night he can ascend the throne!

……

Ontology.

Lu Cheng, with the fair-skinned and voluptuous beauty in his arms, slowly woke up. He raised his head and met Wei Ling'er's gentle gaze; clearly, she had been awake for a while as well.

I glanced under the bed; it was a complete mess.

Props race.

Last night I almost lost track of what the world was like.

"Awake? Do you want to wash up?" Wei Ling'er glanced at her with alluring green eyes... and smiled.

"Never mind..." Lu Cheng shook his head.

He hadn't seen Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao last night, and he figured if he didn't get up soon, Lexuan would come and drag him away herself.

"Lu Cheng!!"

A delicate shout rang out from outside the courtyard.

The footsteps approached from afar, clearly belonging to someone with a short temper.

it's over...

Lu Cheng raised his hand to cover his face.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a beautiful woman dressed in white, tall and slender, with a ponytail and a touch of heroism, stood in front of the bed with her beautiful phoenix eyes.

He wasn't particularly surprised by this scene, though there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"What are you trying to hide? What haven't I seen?"

She smiled and raised her snow-white chin: "Not bad, you've grown a bit more in the year and a half you've been in the Sun Moon Empire..."

Lu Cheng: "..."

"Senior Sister Wei, that's not fair of you... You're hogging the food!! I didn't even know Xiao Cheng was back yesterday." Ma Xiaotao glanced at Wei Ling'er with her narrow, beautiful eyes and said indignantly.

"If I told you, you'd definitely try to take it from me." Wei Ling'er's beautiful eyes gently gazed at Lu Cheng's chest, seemingly savoring the afterglow. "I'm older than you, can't you just give way to me?"

"From the moment I saw Lu Cheng, I fell hopelessly in love with him. You don't understand that feeling..."

No, I understand.

Ma Xiaotao snorted and glanced at Lu Cheng.

She and Sister Lexuan had also experienced the same thing in another life, and it was even more unforgettable and heartbreaking. This is why she and Sister Lexuan care so much about Lu Cheng in this life.

He doesn't care if he has affairs.

I'm afraid he might accidentally provoke someone he shouldn't and die.

"Alright, how long are you going to stay in bed? Sister Lexuan is waiting for you."

Ma Xiaotao crossed her arms over her chest, looked down at Lu Cheng with her beautiful eyes, and pouted.

"If you want a romantic getaway, I'm just as good as you. Or is it that I'm not sexy or hot enough?"

“Enough, enough…” Lu Cheng said speechlessly.

After dressing with the help of a beautiful woman, he took the lead and left the place.

"Hey, wait for me..." Ma Xiaotao hummed softly.

……

the other side.

Council chamber.

In a secluded courtyard filled with peach blossoms, Zhang Lexuan rested her chin on her hand, flipping through documents while rubbing her forehead.

From another angle, she looks like a fairy descended from heaven to the mortal world, possessing a fresh and elegant beauty.

Since she joined the Body Sect, Poison Undying has entrusted her with many sect affairs. These were previously handled by Vina, but now... there is a more suitable candidate.

After all, Zhang Lexuan is undoubtedly the number one in Lu Cheng's harem.

The position of the eldest son remains unchallenged.

Although she is considered a third-generation disciple, her cultivation level is truly terrifying. She is a level 95 Super Douluo, which is comparable to the Sixth Elder. Moreover, if we really talk about strength, Zhang Lexuan has twin martial souls.

Even the Sixth Elder might not be able to defeat him.

In terms of strength, appearance, and tactics, he is first-rate, not to mention he has Ma Xiaotao, a "lackey" who is bound to him by his own camp.

Chapter 204 The Land of Women, a Haven of Gentle Comfort

"Since we left, the Sun and Moon Empire has fallen into an eerie silence. They haven't publicized the matter or launched a fierce attack to take revenge on us."

"There wasn't even a public protest..."

"It's like nothing happened, or are they ashamed to mention it? After all, you've humiliated the old emperor, so it's not honorable to bring it up."

Upon seeing Lu Cheng arrive, Zhang Lexuan, who was as beautiful as a fairy, shed a trace of fatigue and spoke softly.

This guy has a big heart. He just offended the Sun Moon Empire to death, and when he came back, he spent the night in a beauty's bed, playing with beauties all night, leaving her here to keep an eye on the Sun Moon Empire's intelligence.

"Isn't it because Le Xuan helps me handle government affairs? I'm happy to be a hands-off manager." Lu Cheng smiled and sat on another stone bench in the courtyard, speaking leisurely.

Zhang Lexuan rolled her light blue eyes, looking down on the guy's irresponsibility, but she was secretly pleased. After all, even now, in her heart, Lu Cheng was still that tall and upright true hero, standing between heaven and earth.

Compared to his skillful maneuvering, their own actions seemed like child's play.

Since he has no worries, then I have no worries either.

“But there’s something else…” Zhang Lexuan said softly, “The next All-Continent Soul Master Academy Tournament is in about a year, and the location just happens to be in the Sun Moon Empire. Should we go and participate?”

"of course."

Lu Cheng smiled and said, "Weren't you wondering why the Sun Moon Empire didn't declare war on the original continent? This is the reason. Before the war, they will do everything they can to weaken the power of the original continent, and the tournament is a good excuse."

"You mean? They're going to use this as an excuse to detain the participating teams?!" Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes narrowed sharply, her expression one of astonishment.

"How is that possible!" Ma Xiaotao, who was standing aside watching the show, also parted her red lips slightly, expressing her disbelief.

"Why not? The current harmony and stability among the various forces is just an illusion, and it will shatter at the slightest touch. Just as Elder Jing said, the level of soul tools within the Sun Moon Empire has already reached the point where it can sweep across the three kingdoms."

"Although we inflicted heavy losses on Mingdetang this time, taking away their research materials, blueprints, and rare metals, knowledge resides in people's minds, and their researchers still exist..."

Lu Cheng's expression was calm, yet somewhat sentimental.

"When thousands of parts are assembled into a sufficiently large machine, once it starts running, it becomes a ruthless war machine that a rabble from the original continent cannot withstand."

"A rabble? What about Shrek Academy?" Ma Xiaotao asked, somewhat skeptical.

"The leader of a rabble." Lu Cheng smiled.

Unless divine punishment descends and Tang Shenwang Zhen Teng intervenes, giving them time to resolve matters in the lower realms, they are nothing more than larger grasshoppers.

"Should we still go? They hate us to death." A hint of hesitation flashed across Ma Xiaotao's pretty face.

“I will go, of course I will go.” Lu Cheng smiled. “I have my own way of getting out of here.”

"There's no need to worry."

"Alright, now that you're back in the sect, stay put and don't wander around. There are so many women here, surely they can keep your heart," Zhang Lexuan said after a moment's thought.

"Hehe, Sister Lexuan is right, Senior Brother, isn't my figure amazing? And there's Nannan, Tang Ya, Sister Lexuan, and the oranges and Dream Red Dust you brought back from the Sun Moon Empire, that should be enough for you to choose from, right?" Ma Xiaotao chuckled and leaned closer, her pretty face pressed against Lu Cheng's, her long, narrow eyes playfully scrutinizing him.

"Gurgle..."

Lu Cheng swallowed and glanced at Ma Xiaotao, who was standing to the side, her breath sweet and her demeanor alluring.

Indeed, she was quite charming. Now at twenty-two or twenty-three years old, coupled with her already enviable figure, Ma Xiaotao was like a delicious peach, with fair skin radiating an alluring glow and captivating, watery eyes.

"Phew... There's really nothing going on right now."
