Douluo Dalu II: The Soul Wishing Tree, Wang Dong is addicted

A few days later.

The Imperial Palace, Xu Tianran’s study.

Xu Tianran sat in a wheelchair, looking at the quiet palace outside the window, feeling melancholy.

"Has the orange not arrived yet?"

Xu Tianran frowned slightly and spoke with some displeasure.

"Your Highness, Miss Orange has not arrived yet." A servant responded in a low voice.

After hearing this, Xu Tianran became more depressed.

For some reason, he always felt something was wrong these days, feeling uncomfortable and uneasy all over.

Generally speaking, as a Titled Douluo, he is immune to all diseases and this kind of thing will never happen.

The biggest possibility is heart disease.

He guessed that it might be because he hadn't seen oranges for a long time.

Generally speaking, Orange would visit him every three days.

But since that Bai Zhou appeared, Orange hasn't visited him for a long time.

Normally, he would not summon Orange.

But he was really upset these days and couldn't wait to see Orange, so he sent a message to Orange through WeChat.

Orange also gave a reply of "on the way".

However, half a quarter of an hour had passed and Orange had not arrived yet, which made him feel depressed, but he was too embarrassed to send a message to urge Orange, lest Orange think he was anxious.

At this moment, the voice of the attendant came from outside: "Your Highness, Miss Orange wants to see you."

"Hurry, let her in."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran's mood suddenly improved and he quickly spoke.

Soon, an orange figure walked in quickly, then knelt on one knee and saluted, saying: "Orange greets His Highness."

"Get up quickly. Didn't I tell you that things don't have to be like this between you and me?" Xu Tianran waved his hand gently, and a gentle force overflowed, trying to lift up the orange.

But this gentle force was suppressed by the orange.

Juzi lowered his head and said with a look of self-blame: "I was unable to pay you a visit in time these days because of my mission at the academy. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

She naturally knew why Xu Tianran summoned her.

On weekdays she comes here once or twice a week.

But this time, because of Bai Zhou, she didn't come to see Xu Tianran, and even Xu Tianran noticed something...

Others may not know, but she knows Xu Tianran's character best.

Ever since he lost his lower body, he became particularly gloomy and his personality was erratic. It was unknown how many of his subordinates were killed on the spot by Xu Tianran because of a word or a look, including some of Xu Tianran's close confidants.

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Even though she was Xu Tianran's close confidant, she dared not be careless in the slightest and could not let Xu Tianran catch her.

At the same time, she was also secretly reflecting...

She has to abstain from sex from now on and not mess around with Bai Zhou anymore, lest she loses her mind and offends Xu Tianran... If she implicates Bai Zhou then, she will definitely regret it for the rest of her life.

"Haha, Orange, you are being too formal. You are my confidant, not my slave. You have your own things to do, so just do them yourself. There is no need to report to me all the time. Hurry up and get up."

Seeing that Juzi was so sensible, Xu Tianran was in a good mood. He quickly controlled the wheelchair to come to Juzi and helped Juzi up. Then he said, "I came to you this time just to discuss something with you. It's just that it's not safe to use a micro card, so I want to discuss it with you in person."

Xu Tianran naturally couldn't say that he called her over because he missed Juzi too much. After all, he also wanted to save face, so he naturally had to find an excuse.

"Oh, Your Highness, are you in any trouble?" Orange was stunned for a moment, then asked with concern.

With Orange's intelligence, she naturally knew that this might just be an excuse, but she would never expose it directly, otherwise she would be slapping him in the face.

Naturally, Orange would never do such a suicidal thing.

"Haha, it's not an important matter. It's just that the crazy people in the Holy Spirit Church want a few cities for their development recently... Which cities do you think are better to give to them?"

Xu Tianran looked up at Juzi and asked calmly.

It's not that he had nothing to say, but this matter was indeed a big trouble. He had wanted to discuss it with Orange for a long time, but Orange had never come.

"What! Didn't they ask for three cities last time? Now they want 10 cities at once! This is too much. We can't give it to them!"

Upon hearing this, Orange was immediately shocked and subconsciously rejected it.

When Xu Tianran heard that Juzi actually rejected his decision, a sense of anger inexplicably emerged in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.

If anyone else had said that, he would be a corpse now.

But since it's Orange, he will still choose to forgive.

Xu Tianran glanced at Juzi and said calmly, "My father's health is getting worse and worse. He probably won't have much time left. The competition for the throne has entered a critical moment. I need the Holy Spirit Church to do something for me, so I have already promised them."

"I came to you this time just to ask you which cities you think would cause the least loss to us if we handed them over."

Xu Tianran spoke in a deep voice, and with just a few words, he decided the life and death of the people in ten cities.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I was the one who spoke out of turn..." Only then did Juzi react and quickly lowered his head.

But her heart was filled with endless sadness and deep disappointment.

This is Xu Tianran. For the sake of his own foundation, he can do whatever it takes, even sacrificing the lives of people in several cities in exchange for the support of the Holy Spirit Church...

Last time, she failed to prevent the fall of three cities. This time, it was a full ten cities...

As long as these cities are handed over to the Holy Spirit Church, the residents therein will become the cauldron and fuel for the evil soul masters' cultivation.

He once secretly investigated the three cities governed by the Holy Spirit Church. On the surface, they seemed nothing special, but in fact, they had already become a hell on earth.

"Juzi, I know you're soft-hearted, but no one who can sit in our position has clean hands. If you want to achieve great things, there must be sacrifices."

"As long as I sit on the throne, I will definitely lead the Sun-Moon Empire to become the strongest on the continent! The sacrifices of those people are all worth it."

Xu Tianran patted Juzi's shoulder gently, his purple eyes flashing with endless ambition.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I've let you down..." Orange suppressed the grief in her heart, lowered her head, and spoke softly.

Although she already knew Xu Tianran's true face, she couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart when she heard Xu Tianran say such cruel words.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Xu Tianran waved his hand gently, then smiled and looked at Juzi and said, "I know you've been busy lately, but it should be okay for you to have a meal with me~"

"Of course, it is Orange's honor to have dinner with Your Highness." Orange knew that she could not refuse this time, so she forced a smile and reluctantly agreed.

Compared to having dinner with Bai Zhou, Xu Tianran would naturally not touch her during the meal. Instead, he liked to talk about his ambitions and plans.

But in Orange's heart, there was some inexplicable resistance and rejection to this.

On the contrary, having a meal with Bai Zhou allows her to relax more and enjoy the pleasure of food.
