Vina, the Emperor's Schemes
"Father, I'm scared."
A little girl with rosy lips and white teeth, as delicate as a porcelain doll, clutched the robes of the Heavenly Soul Empire's emperor, timidly gazing at the majestic, steep, and endless mountains.
The little girl was extremely beautiful, with delicate and lovely features, and skin so tender it looked like you could squeeze water out of it.
Her long, black hair cascaded down her back, and her beautiful, large eyes were filled with mist, making her look like someone who was easy to bully.
This girl was none other than Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul Empire. She looked to be around seven years old, and her pale yellow princess dress was slightly oversized, covering her cute little legs.
Emperor Brady of the Heavenly Soul Empire looked at his daughter, a hint of doting affection in his eyes.
He doted on Vina, not only because Vina was his daughter, but also because of Vina exceptional talent.
With the Snow Lotus Brain Twin Martial Souls, plus Innate Full Soul Power, one is guaranteed to be Titled Douluo at the very least. With a little extra effort and some resources, becoming Super Douluo is not impossible.
In the Heavenly Soul Empire, there are only a handful of experts at the level of Super Douluo, each holding a high position and wielding great power.
For someone like Vina, who belongs to the royal family, becoming Super Douluo would be a killer move.
This would give the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family more say, allowing them to stand taller when facing non-royal Super Douluo guest elders.
A few degrees harder.
Therefore, Brady originally intended to properly train Vina and make Vina a powerful Soul Master.
Their treatment was completely different from that of princesses whose talents were usually used for political marriages.
As for Vina, let alone a marriage alliance, even if she falls in love with a young man in the Vina, that young man will have to obediently become the emperor's son-in-law and even change his surname.
However, after the Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire reached a cooperation agreement, the Body Sect learned that Vina's Second Martial Soul was the Brain, and they greatly admired her.
After all, the Brain is definitely a top-tier Martial Soul among Body Martial Soul. Once it undergoes Second Awakening, it will at least be at the Silver Grade.
Such talent is extremely rare even within the Body Sect. As long as he doesn't die young, becoming Titled Douluo is a certainty.
Therefore, the higher-ups of the Body Sect had the idea of having Vina join the Body Sect for cultivation, which could also be seen as a way to deepen their ties with their partner, the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Brady subtly suggested that Vina was still too young and would easily cry if separated from her parents, and that they should wait until Vina was older before making a decision on whether to join the Body Sect.
Brady's tactful refusal immediately made the higher-ups of the Body Sect somewhat uncomfortable.
Their Body Sect is teeming with powerful figures and experts. A Body Martial Soul with the potential of Silver Grade is neither too many nor too few. And they'll wait until they grow up to decide whether to join the Body Sect? Bah! Who cares?!
If you don't join when you're a kid, it'll be a completely different story when you join as an adult!
Do they really think their Body Sect is stupid? Only by nurturing children from a young age can they cultivate disciples who are loyal to the Sect. If they try to train them when they are older, they are just doing the work for someone else.
As a result, the two sides had a minor disagreement over this matter.
However, both parties remained rational and knew that their relationship was mutually beneficial, so they didn't break up over this minor disagreement.
Brady, as the emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire, had a well-thought-out plan in mind: to raise Vina until she reached adulthood.
After reaching adulthood, he can join the Body Sect and use its resources to help Vina Martial Soul Second Awakening her Second Martial Soul spirit, the Brain, and thus gain a huge advantage.
Therefore, Brady did not intend for Vina to join the Body Sect so quickly.
Joining the Body Sect too early carries a significant risk of Vina becoming a true member of the Body Sect.
If a princess of the royal family, who is a sure-fire Titled Douluo and has the potential to become Super Douluo, were to truly be loyal to the Body Sect, the loss to the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family would be enormous.
Although Vina is loyal to the Body Sect, it doesn't mean she can't contribute to the Heavenly Soul Empire, but it does add another layer to her role.
Just as Brady was having his fun.
Brady was somewhat uneasy about what the Body Sect had done in Heaven Dou City not long ago.
In particular, the Body Sect even dispatched a powerful expert with Mental Attribute to erase the memories of those involved, which clearly indicates that they are hiding something major from him, the emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
This feeling was quite terrible, ultimately because the Body Sect was too powerful and the Heavenly Soul Empire was too weak.
As the emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire, Brady had no control over the actions of the Body Sect, and dared not even anger the Body Sect.
Therefore, to avoid future anxieties, Brady decided to send his daughter, Princess Vina, to the Body Sect to serve as a bridge for friendly relations between the two sides.
At the very least, whenever the True Body Sect Master does anything in Heaven Dou City, he should inform the Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Otherwise, if the emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire knew nothing, wouldn't he be in a very passive and humiliating position? It wouldn't be good for the cooperation between the two sides either.
With this in mind, Brady, along with his daughter Vina and the royal retainers of the Heavenly Soul Empire, arrived at the entrance of the Body Sect.
A Titled Douluo expert looked at the gates of the Body Sect and announced loudly, "Emperor Brady of the Heavenly Soul Empire has come to visit!"
Upon learning of the Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire's visit, Jinpeng, the Grand Elder of the Body Sect, appeared with the Body Sect's powerful members.
Jinpeng bowed slightly and said, "I was unaware that Your Majesty had traveled from afar; I have failed to greet you properly."
Brady frowned when he saw that it was Jinpeng who came to greet him.
No matter what, he was still the emperor of a nation. Why wouldn't the Body Sect Master Du Busi? Instead, it was the second-in-command, Jinpeng, who came to receive him?
What does this mean? He's not worthy?
Or is it that Du Busi is in such a bad state that it's unable to show itself?
Brady recalled a previous intelligence report that said the Body Sect and Shrek Academy had fought a fierce battle over a peerless genius, resulting in heavy losses on both sides.
Even the long-lost Dragon God Douluo Mu En reappeared. Mu En and Poison Undying clashed, creating a cataclysmic battle. Poison Undying was at a disadvantage, severely injured, and forced to retreat.
Brady's eyes darted around as he began to ponder. He thought to himself, "Du Busi, the injury is probably more serious than I imagined. He can't even do this superficial work anymore."
If the Du Busi, but her injuries are truly severe, then there's no need for Vina to join the Body Sect so early.
With a heavy heart, Brady entered the main hall of the Body Sect under the guidance of Jinpeng.
A moment later, inside the hall.
After they were seated, tea and snacks were served, and they chatted for a while.
Brady probed, "Elder Jinpeng, why haven't we seen your sect leader today?"
Jinpeng didn't think too much about it, because everyone in the Body Sect was extremely happy because of Chen An.
Jinpeng smiled helplessly, "The sect leader is in a good mood right now. Every time we go to him, he sends us away, telling us to figure it out ourselves."
