Chapter 1 Beginning
The sun is warm, the wind is gentle, and the afterglow shines.
When the last ray of the setting sun gently brushed across the sky, the entire ancient city was dyed with a layer of golden gauze, looking particularly mysterious and solemn.
The tall city wall is strong and thick. Every crack and every trace seems to be silently telling the stories and glory of the past. The rise and fall of the times and countless past events seem to have been recorded and passed down on this city wall, flowing through everyone. In the hearts of the people of the Star Luo Empire.
Star Luo City is known as the imperial capital that will never fall. As the capital of the Star Luo Empire for thousands of years, its status in the Douluo Continent is self-evident. Even in today's rapidly changing era, Star Luo City is still the capital of the entire Douluo Continent. The largest and most prosperous city on the Luo Continent, it still occupies a very important and lofty position on the continent.
As night approaches, the lights of thousands of houses in Xingluo City light up, illuminating the entire night sky. The streets are still busy, and the flow of cars and people becomes the flowing blood of this giant city, providing it with a steady stream of vitality.
Over the past ten thousand years, Star Luo City has been expanded several times. Now, Star Luo City is more than a hundred miles in length and width. In terms of its prosperity, even Shrek City controlled by Shrek Academy, the so-called first college in the mainland, cannot compete with it. On the entire continent, probably only Mingdu, the capital of the Sun-Moon Empire, could barely surpass it.
Nowadays, the permanent population of Xingluo City has exceeded 8 million. If the floating population is included, this number may be far more than doubled.
With such a huge population, Star Luo City's daily expenditure is an extremely terrifying figure. However, in contrast, the tax revenue that Star Luo City brings to the Star Luo royal family every year is also an astronomical figure. The city's revenue is even comparable to some of the top provinces in the empire, which is enough to prove the prosperity of Star Luo City.
In the center of Star Luo City, a majestic palace complex is located here. This is where the royal palace of the Star Luo Empire is located.
Xingluo Palace, like Xingluo City, was inherited from thousands of years ago, and has reached its current scale after continuous repairs and expansions over thousands of years.
Viewed from a high altitude, the Star Luo Palace is located in the center of the entire Star Luo City. It is surrounded by important institutions and facilities of the Star Luo City. There are many royal guards scattered in it. Many early warning soul guides and warning devices are also arranged on the city walls. With the anti-air offensive soul guide, coupled with the many Protector Douluo who took turns on duty in the palace, the entire Xingluo Palace could be said to be truly tightly guarded, and not even a bird could easily fly into it.
In this imperial palace, which symbolizes the greatest power of the empire, the most noble being is naturally Xu Jiawei, the current Emperor of Star Luo.
But under Xu Jiawei, there is another member of the royal family who also stands on the front line of imperial power, and this member of the royal family is the beloved sister of the current emperor Xu Jiawei, known as Princess Jiujiu.
As the only remaining princess in the Xingluo royal family, Xu Jiujiu is extremely talented and talented, and is deeply loved and valued by Xu Jiawei. Although there is little news about this princess from the outside world, this is exactly what the Star Luo royal family wants to see. A genius princess with a slightly lower presence in the outside world is far safer than a genius princess who has been exposed to the public eye for a long time. , this can also be regarded as a protective measure for Xu Jiawei's sister.
……
As the residence of a country's princess, Xu Jiujiu's Princess Mansion occupies a large area in the royal palace where every inch of land is precious, and the layout is extremely luxurious. Most of the architectural styles are built according to Xu Jiujiu's hobbies. In the princess's palace, there are still a large number of rare and rare treasures placed randomly in the palace, but here, these rare treasures have lost their aura in the outside world and have become ordinary for a time.
She has always been elegant and noble for a long time. The education she received since she was a child has made her sensible and sociable. Her own intelligence has allowed her to show off her charm and talents on many occasions without any scruples, and she has been active in various places in the Star Luo Empire. Important occasions and slowly climb to higher positions.
Logically speaking, it is very difficult to have true feelings for someone like Xu Jiujiu, but who would have thought that Princess Xingluo, who has always been elegant and noble in the outside world, would look so coquettish in front of her lover? Soft and waxy.
On the soft imperial concubine's couch, her golden hair had stuck to her skin for a long time due to the sultry hot environment. Her always beautiful face now had an astonishing blush, even if it was just a moment of amorous feelings, it was enough. Let the hardest ice in the world melt.
After hugging the boy for a moment, Xu Jiujiu suddenly raised his head and bit the boy's lips gently. He spoke in a lazy tone and pressed his cheek against the boy's strong chest.
"Ayan, I had a discussion with the emperor brother today. He has agreed to our marriage. In a few years, we will get married, okay?"
The young man looked at the blond beauty in his arms and just nodded slightly, as if he didn't care much about it.
As if he was dissatisfied with the young man's casual attitude, Xu Jiujiu used a little force with his jade hands, and the young man's collar was pulled aside, exposing his fair chest. Xu Jiujiu opened his small mouth and bit the young man's chest. Clear and perfect tooth marks appeared on the young man's chest. The boy only paused for a moment, as if he was used to the girl's bad taste. After rubbing the girl's head in a symbolic way, he continued to play with the silky golden hair.
After a long silence, he raised his eyes and stared at the young man's increasingly delicate and handsome face for a moment. A touch of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and then he suddenly said:
"Within three days, Brother Emperor will ask Broken Star Douluo to take you to the far north to obtain the fourth soul ring. At that time, I will ask Grandma Manyi to go with you. If something unexpected happens, you will be taken care of."
Shu Yan was stunned for a moment, then said softly:
"Grandma Manyi needs to protect your safety. Broken Star Douluo is already a super Douluo, which is enough to deal with most troubles. If it doesn't work, just call on Juli Douluo."
The corners of Jiujiu's lips curled up with an imperceptible arc. She seemed to enjoy the young man's concern very much. When her heart felt at ease, she spoke softly again:
"I won't leave the palace in the near future. You don't have to worry about my safety. There are many strong people in the palace who can protect my safety. Compared with me, brother Huang actually values you more."
"I'm afraid you are the only genius in the world who possesses a super martial spirit like Ice Sky and Snow Girl. In thousands of years, you are the first human to possess the ultimate ice attribute. The emperor has already regarded you as the empire's future nurturing partner. Comparatively, even my younger sister seems to have fallen out of favor a lot.”
At the end of the words, he snorted softly for a long time, as if he was a little dissatisfied or coquettish.
Shu Yan just chuckled and shook his head, and said nothing more, but his thoughts drifted away unconsciously, as if he was stuck in memories...
Thirteen years ago, he was a hard-working black sports student on a blue planet. He ended up stinking to death because of a bet with his roommate over eating canned herrings. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the strange yet familiar world of Douluo Continent. .
Why is it said to be strange yet familiar?
Because Shu Yan was half an anime fan in his previous life, he knew the plot of Dou Yi, but he really only had a superficial understanding of the plot of the Peerless Tang Sect period he traveled through.
As a standard time-traveler, Shu Yan was naturally born as an orphan. His parents were high-risk groups in the time-travel industry and were also part-timers. If he really had one, Shu Yan would naturally be even happier. After all, he had never experienced the so-called father's love and mother's love in his previous life, but Since he didn't, it didn't matter to him. Although living in the official welfare institution of Xingluo City was not easy, it was still passable, and he was already content.
Speaking of which, his encounter with Xu Jiujiu seemed a bit cliche.
On the one hand, these welfare institutions set up by Xingluo officials raise orphans like Shu Yan until they can make a living on their own; on the other hand, they hope to find children with cultivation talents among these orphans and take them away and train them. Let it become a new force in the Star Luo Empire.
At that time, Xu Jiujiu, as a representative of the royal family, was attending the ceremony to awaken martial arts spirits for children who had reached the appropriate age, and Shu Yan was naturally among them.
Everything went smoothly at first, but when Shu Yan awakened his martial spirit, a biting cold air suddenly erupted from his body, freezing the entire hall in an instant. The originally sunny weather was actually affected and turned into dark clouds, and soon it turned into dark clouds. Snowflakes began to fall.
Nebula Douluo Manyi, who had been accompanying him to protect his safety for a long time, immediately noticed something strange. He took action and imprisoned all those who noticed the strange thing, including Shu Yan, in place. After that, the royal family secret guards and Juli Dou who were guarding nearby Luo intervened, and Shu Yan was taken directly into the palace.
As for those who witnessed the vision with their own eyes because of Shu Yan, to be honest, Shu Yan didn't know what their outcome was, but judging from what they said a long time later, they were just erased by the spiritual attribute soul master. Memory, but who can tell the specific details...
