Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 32 Xu Tianran

Xu Tianzhen immediately turned around, took Xu Tianran's hand and said coquettishly: "Brother, I was wrong. I won't do it again next time. Please don't tell father, okay?"

“There’s going to be a next time!?”

Xu Tianran said with a half-smile.

"No, no, for the last time, the last time."

Xu Tianzhen said embarrassedly.

Xu Tianran shook his head. His sister had always been eccentric and rebellious since she was a child. He didn't know how many times she had said it this last time. He had heard it more than ten times, and he didn't know how many times she had said it in front of their father.

Xu Tianzhen is the youngest sister of Xu Tianran's lineage. She is loved by everyone, both their father and their uncle, the current emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire, dote on her. Even her eldest brother Xu Tianran obeys her in everything and covers for her when she makes mistakes.

Perhaps the only one who is more favored than her is the son of the current Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, that is, the Crown Prince Xu He of the Sun-Moon Empire.

Prince Xu He is two years older than Xu Tianzhen. He has only seven older sisters and no older brothers, so he is already the prince at the age of eight. As soon as he comes of age, he will ascend the throne and become the new emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Moreover, Prince Xu He awakened the Sun Spirit, one of the three great spirits of the Sun-Moon Empire royal family, at the age of six. He was born with full spirit power, and both his status and talent were top-notch. In addition, he was the son of the current emperor in his old age, and was very much loved. Even Xu Tianzhen, the youngest princess of the Xu royal family, could not compare to him.

It can be said that Prince Xu He was born with a golden key and stood at the pinnacle of Douluo Continent as soon as he was born.

After all, the Sun-Moon Empire was able to confront the three original Douluo Kingdoms with the strength of one country, and its national strength was so strong that it stood at the top of the Douluo Continent.

And the future Sun and Moon Emperor will of course stand at the pinnacle of Douluo Continent.

"Your Highness the Fire Phoenix and Your Highness the Ice Phoenix, please forgive me for making fun of you. My sister has been spoiled since she was a child."

Xu Tianran looked at Fire Phoenix Douluo and Luan Yu apologetically. He behaved very gently, like a modest gentleman, and didn't look like the eldest son of a powerful prince at all.

Although Huo Feng Douluo did not want to have much contact with the Crown Prince for the sake of avoiding suspicion, the other party's gentle temperament and humble personality still made Huo Feng Douluo feel good about him. Compared with other royal children who were somewhat arrogant, Xu Tianran was the one she liked the most.

Besides, it was just a friendship between children and it couldn't affect her. Her position as the leader of the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructors was not so easily shaken.

"Your Highness is joking. Your Highness is straightforward and innocent, which makes people feel good about her. It is an honor for these two little guys to be friends with your Highness."

Although Fire Phoenix Douluo is from the military, she has been exposed to politics for many years. If she didn't understand it, she wouldn't be the leader of the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Corps. After all, there are more than one qualified ninth-level soul instructors.

It's not good to get too close to Xu Tianran, but Xu Tianzhen is different. She is just a princess and only six years old. Besides, making friends with the children of the high-ranking officials of the Sun-Moon Empire is the obligation and task of the royal children of the Sun-Moon Empire.

After all, the future always belongs to the young. "Xu Tianzhen!" An Awakener walked out of the Awakening Hall, holding a form, looked at the form in his hand and called out a name.

"It's my turn!" Xu Tianzhen's eyes widened and he jumped up with joy.

Xu Tianran was also shocked. The most important thing about coming to the Awakening Hall this time was Xu Tianzhen's awakening of his martial soul. Meeting Fire Phoenix Douluo was just a coincidence, and the operation of getting closer to him was just instinct.

"Your Majesty the Fire Phoenix, Your Majesty the Ice Phoenix, we will go ahead."

Xu Tianran held Xu Tianzhen's hand, nodded to Fire Phoenix Douluo and Luan Yu, and finally even waved to Meteor and Firefly with a smile on his face.

As expected of him being the eldest son of a powerful prince, his approachable and modest character was so appealing that even Liuxing and Liuying couldn't help but feel a certain fondness for him.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness the Princess, please do as you please."

After Fire Phoenix Douluo and Luan Yu watched Xu Tianran, Xu Tianzhen, and the Awakening Master enter the Awakening Hall, Luan Yu sighed, "This Crown Prince is truly remarkable!"

Fire Phoenix Douluo also nodded and said, "Among the royal family members, there are very few who are as approachable and courteous as him. What a pity."

Luan Yu frowned and said, "What a pity, sister, you should not get involved in this. The same goes for you two little guys. Stay away from Xu Tianran. However, you can make friends with Xu Tianzhen. Knowing a royal family member will also be beneficial for your two little guys' future life in the Sun Moon Empire."

As a younger sister, Luanyu understands Fire Phoenix Douluo just as Fire Phoenix Douluo understands her. As a soldier, Fire Phoenix Douluo actually has opinions about the current policies of the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, but she hides it very well, and only Luanyu, as her younger sister, can see it.

Not only Fire Phoenix Douluo, but also the five national protectors, in addition to being absolutely loyal to the royal family, are the other four soul mentor groups besides the strongest Royal Soul Mentor Group, the Imperial Dragon Soul Mentor Group, the Fear Claw Soul Mentor Group, the Evil King Soul Mentor Group, and the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group. They are all dissatisfied with the current emperor's policy of neglecting military industry and emphasizing civilian industry.

As the leaders of the Soul Guide Corps, how could they not want their subordinates to be equipped with more advanced and powerful soul guides and make great achievements on the battlefield? But now, because His Majesty the Emperor has suppressed the pro-war faction, their four major soul guide corps have not updated their soul guide equipment for several years.

Although Fire Phoenix Douluo is not a pro-war faction, she still hopes to strengthen the armaments. Only by being strong can one be infallible. However, His Majesty the Emperor is determined to fulfill the treaty made after the Holy War. In order to show that the Sun-Moon Empire has no intention of aggression, he took the initiative to cut military spending and placed the focus of soul guide research on the research and development of civilian soul guides.

Although Fire Phoenix Douluo holds a high position and great power, she dares not speak out when faced with matters that touch the bottom line of the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire. It would be troublesome if she were labeled as a war advocate, so she usually hides her emotions and suppresses her dissatisfaction.

Fire Phoenix Douluo took a deep look at his sister and said in a deep voice, "Just take care of yourself. I know what's going on."

Huo Feng Douluo was of course well aware of his sister's thoughts, but she also had her own persistence. The group of girls who followed her were all as capable as men. As the leader of the group, she certainly had to consider her subordinates.

Fire Phoenix Douluo did not tell Luanyu that Xu Tianran's father, the powerful prince who was on the surface on good terms with the current emperor, had contacted her privately. Although he was not a pro-war faction, he was one of the pro-war faction's behind-the-scenes supporters.

In Fire Phoenix Douluo's opinion, the powerful prince may not necessarily want to start a war against the original three Douluo Kingdoms, but he is definitely dissatisfied with the overall policy of the current Sun-Moon Empire.
