Douluo Continent: Starting from Awakening the Vermilion Bird Martial Soul

"It's worth a visit. After all, it's the largest city in the empire, and one of the top cities in the entire Douluo Continent."

"However, you and your second brother should keep a low profile and not be too flamboyant, especially keep an eye on your second brother."

Di Yang had no choice but to say this. Di Ming was a typical playboy in Silves City, spending his days indulging in pleasure and doing nothing productive. Although he hadn't done anything too outrageous, it was all under his nose. With Di Yang, Di Yuan, and Shen Ning watching over him, he wouldn't dare to cause any trouble.

But if he gets to Tiandou City, no one will know what he does there, since no one will care about him then.

Therefore, he hoped that his fourth brother could keep an eye on Di Ming.

"Big brother, are you sure I can keep an eye on second brother?" Di Hong shook his head. No matter how powerful he was, he was still a younger brother in front of Di Ming. How could he possibly control him?

"Just let go of his control. If he does anything out of line, just break his legs. Don't feel guilty."

"Father, Mother and I all agree to this."

"My father also said that if he causes trouble and does things like bullying men and women, he should just say one thing: beat him to death as long as he doesn't die."

"Okay." With his elder brother's words, Di Hong felt relieved and no longer had any psychological burden. However, he did not think that his second brother would do anything outrageous. In his opinion, Di Ming was a playboy, not a scoundrel.

There is a fundamental difference between a playboy and a hooligan. You can say he is immoral, but you can't say he is impolite. Moreover, although he indulges in debauchery, he would never even go to a brothel.

From childhood to adulthood, he had never seen Di Ming do anything heinous that would be considered outrageous by both gods and men; when he went out drinking, he always paid for it.

Unlike some nobles, some nobles are the kind who would never pay for watermelons eaten in the south of the city.

the next day.

The convoy heading to Tiandou City to pay tribute was ready to depart.

Over the past six years, Di Ming has gained a lot of weight. He is chubby all over and looks rather adorable, even a little cute.

Chapter 11 Emperor Hong's Distrust

Before setting off, Di Yang, who was seeing him off, specifically reminded Di Hong of what he had said the day before, in front of Di Ming.

This displeased Emperor Ming at the time.

"Big brother, don't you trust your younger brother at all?"

"Am I that kind of person?"

She looked Di Ming up and down, then feigned a look of disdain.

"What do you think?"

"Hey." Di Ming was displeased.

"Just you wait, this time when I go to Tiandou City, I won't even drink any wine or women."

Since his elder brother didn't believe him, he was determined to prove it. To prove his words were credible, he turned to look at Di Hong beside him.

"Fourth brother, you keep an eye on me."

After saying that, he turned and got into the carriage.

Di Hong shrugged helplessly and then boarded the carriage. Inside the carriage, Di Ming sat there with a resentful expression, next to a large plate of roasted meat.

"Second Brother, are you planning to channel your anger into your appetite?" Di Hong teased.

"Go away, what do you mean by turning anger into appetite? Your second brother is just punishing himself," Di Ming said discontentedly, and then he started eating by himself, clearly still angry.

This time, the tribute items prepared by the Kingdom of Silves for the tribute mission to Tiandou City were more precious and rarer than those prepared before. For this reason, Emperor Yuan even took out a three-thousand-year-old soul bone from his treasury.

It can be said that this is not just a simple tribute from a vassal state to its suzerain state, but also an expression of support for Xueye. The internal strife within the royal family has almost reached a fever pitch, and the old emperor's indulgence of Xueyu has made him almost unscrupulous.

This royal struggle is even more intense than previous royal infighting.

Because all the vassal kingdoms were implicated this time, all four kingdoms inevitably became involved in the struggle for the throne between the two princes.

Sitting inside the carriage, watching the scenery rushing past outside, Di Hong asked, "Second Brother, do you think anything exciting will happen on this trip to Tiandou City?"

Di Ming, who was busy eating roasted meat, didn't seem to care.

"What exciting things could happen? It's nothing more than offering tribute, paying homage to the emperor, holding a banquet, and then everyone going home."

"Isn't this always been the case?"

"Will anything be different this year?"

Although he had never paid tribute before, he knew the basic procedures.

Di Hong shook his head. He had a feeling that this time would be different. This time, his father had arranged for him to accompany the tribute mission. Although there was a snowy night, Di Yuan could have refused, but he did not.

"Why do you think Father King agreed to Crown Prince Xueye's request to allow me to accompany him?"

Di Ming glanced at him.

"What else could it be? It's just that word has spread about your fight in the new city."

Di Hong was even more puzzled.

"About the Soul Fighting Spirit?"

He was puzzled. Even if it was because of the Soul Fighting incident, it shouldn't have spread to Heaven Dou City, especially since he thought he had covered it up very well.

Di Ming chuckled.

"Fourth brother, do you think you can hide it well just because you're wearing a mask and no one can tell?"

"you are too naive."

"I've been discovered?" Di Hong was somewhat surprised. He had participated in the Soul Battle in the new city, and it hadn't even been three days.

“What do you think?” Di Ming explained, “Although your battle was in the new city, those nobles found out about you immediately after the battle ended.”

Everyone knows that Ling Guang is actually the fourth prince of the royal family, Di Hong.

"Fourth brother, you must never underestimate those nobles. It is very dangerous to look down on them."

"You think you're hiding it well, but in reality, your every move is under surveillance. Besides, everyone knows you're cultivating there."

“People who are not familiar with you may not recognize you at first glance, but the nobles all know you, especially your long red hair and your signature red eyes, which cannot be hidden by a mask.”

Di Hong was astonished, then took out a mirror from the soul tool at his waist and looked at the handsome face in the mirror, as well as the pair of jewel-like red eyes and the long red hair tied up in the hair crown.

Well, it is indeed too distinctive, making it hard for people not to find out. He was indeed too naive. But thinking about it, it makes sense. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person. Although he became a nobleman after transmigrating, he ultimately did not receive much noble training.

He also didn't have much contact with nobles, especially after his martial spirit awakened.

For the past six years since his martial spirit awakened, he has been cultivating and has basically avoided interacting with nobles. He also does not participate in any banquets, tea parties or other activities that would enhance communication among nobles.

Regardless, he believed that cultivation was the most important thing, but he overlooked one problem: this was the Douluo Continent.

Seeing Di Hong's expression, Di Ming felt a hint of smugness.

"This time, Father sent you to Tiandou City to show them what a genius is."

"But don't worry, no one will think you're a super genius with innate level 20 soul power. After all, we're royalty, and we have plenty of cultivation resources."

"Anyway, you've been cultivating inside the volcano for the past few years."

"Can it work?" Di Hong was a little worried. What he was most afraid of was being discovered that his talent far exceeded that of ordinary innate geniuses with full soul power, especially if the Spirit Hall found out that he had innate level 20 soul power and was already a Soul King at the age of twelve.

"There's no problem with it, especially with Xueye here."

After saying that, Di Ming opened the carriage window and said to the soldiers outside, "Go and get me some more fruit."

"Yes." The soldier clasped his hands in a fist salute, then rode away.

A plate of grapes was brought over shortly afterward.

Di Ming was very pleased with himself as he ate the delicious grapes.

"If only there were two, no, three beautiful women right now, I could rest my head on one, another could massage me, and yet another could feed me grapes, and then all three of them could call me 'Prince' in incredibly sensual voices."

"That would be wonderful."

"That's what you call enjoying yourself."

"Unlike you, Fourth Brother, all you do every day is cultivate, it's so boring."

Di Hong's lips twitched violently.

"Second brother, in this world, strength is the foundation. How can you enjoy life without strength?"

"Look at you, you were already a Soul Master six years ago, and six years have passed, and you're still a Soul Master."

Emperor Ming did not take it seriously.

"Who cares? Anyway, this is all the talent your second brother has. If I can cultivate to the Soul Emperor level in this lifetime, I'll be lucky."

"For me, the level of soul power is not that important. I am now level 38, and with my status, it is enough for me to live a carefree life outside. Besides, even if I encounter a soul master I can't beat, don't I still have you?"

"As the younger brother, you have to become strong enough to support your second brother."

"When the time comes, I'll tell everyone I meet that my fourth brother is invincible."

What kind of logic is this? Di Hong was completely baffled. Why did he feel that his second brother might be trying to harm him? Did he also have to adopt the "cherish life and stay away from your brother" approach?

"Second brother, please don't betray me!"

Just to be on the safe side, he still had to say something in advance, lest Di Ming really trick him.

"How could that be? We're brothers. I'd never betray you, so don't worry."
