Is everything just now a dream? Have I fallen into an illusion?
After Huo Yuhao had woken up, he had gradually recalled the experience of his soul leaving his body before—the God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life, the God of Lust, a fairyland on earth...
At this time, he was still in his final posture with Ma Xiaotao—
"Yuhao..." Ma Xiaotao's beautiful pupils were hazy. A strange electric current had spread from her body throughout Huo Yuhao's entire body, making him tremble all over. He had once again spurred his horse on.
Outside the quiet room, Zhongli Wu and a group of high-level members of the Holy Spirit Cult, who had heard the rising and falling sounds from afar, had looked at each other. This Holy Son of theirs, ever since he had become capable in that aspect, his skills had, so to speak, improved by a thousand li in a day. It was unknown if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Just as they were still guessing at Huo Yuhao's endurance time, the latter had swaggered out.
For no other reason than that Ma Xiaotao had accepted the inheritance of the God of Lust and was able to stimulate Huo Yuhao's desires even more in that aspect. And this fellow had, on the contrary, received the blessing of the Goddess of Life and had directly achieved a grand slam.
On the bed, Ma Xiaotao touched her soaked skirt, wanting to cry but having no tears. She had actually been unable to hold back this boy's offensive. The victory and defeat between the two had already been reversed.
Her gaze was still complex. Just now, Huo Yuhao had climbed up from her body and had only said one sentence.
"No matter what you think, I will absolutely not use my own woman."
Really, it wasn't Huo Yuhao who had framed me?
...
In Shrek City, in an elegant residence.
Bei Bei's face was bloodless as he sat by the bed. His two pupils had completely lost their luster.
In his heart, there had always been an ideal, and that was to carry forward and strengthen the Tang Sect, to recast the glory of the Tang Sect. This was not just because he was in the Tang Sect and had learned the Tang Sect's ultimate skills. At the same time, it was also for one person, and that was Tang Ya.
Tang Ya was the first girl that Bei Bei had truly fallen in love with. Although he had never been able to help Tang Ya and the Tang Sect much, in his heart, Tang Ya and the Tang Sect had always occupied all the positions within.
Back then, when his love had first sprouted, he had met Tang Ya. Although in this, there had been Mu En's instruction, from Tang Ya's side, he had learned the ultimate skills of the Tang Sect. Bei Bei would never forget that day. It was also from that moment on that his life had undergone a transformation.
Little Ya, where are you? You must still be alive, right? I will go and find you right now. If I can't find you in one day, I will search for one day. If I can't find you in a year, I will search for a year. If I can't find you in a lifetime, then I will search for a lifetime, until the day I see you again. If I can never find you, then let me finally meet you on the road of searching for you, even if it is in another world.
Sitting upright beside him was a young girl of about twenty-five or twenty-six. A head of long, black hair fell all the way to her waist. Her delicate face was fair and flawless. Her two hands, besides her thumbs, her other eight fingers were crossed, her thumbs touching. She was quietly placed on her own cross-legged calves. Her quiet and gentle temperament made one unforgettable at first sight.
The young girl slowly opened her pupils. In her pair of bright and wise black pupils was revealed a deep unwillingness.
In the inner court of Shrek, there was an unwritten rule. Everyone had to call the chief disciple 'Eldest Senior Brother' or 'Eldest Senior Sister'. There was no doubt that Zhang Lexuan, among the inner court disciples, had an unparalleled, supreme prestige, and was even more so the dream lover of who knows how many male students. But she had never dated any classmate and had put all her energy into cultivation. This year, at only twenty-six years old, Zhang Lexuan had successively participated in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament twice, and in her second participation, she had served as the captain, defeating her opponents like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
What was even more terrifying was that she had created a history in the nearly three thousand years of Shrek Academy. At the young age of twenty-six, she was already an expert at the eight-ring Soul Douluo level, crowning Shrek. Even the Ma Xiaotao of back then, in front of her, was just a little girl. And Zhang Lexuan was also the only one among the inner court disciples whom Ma Xiaotao had respected from the bottom of her heart.
Eldest Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan was in fact picked up by an academy teacher in the suburbs. She had been unintentionally run into by Mu En. At that time, Zhang Lexuan's expression had been dazed. Her entire person was as if she had lost her soul. Her family had originally been a noble of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Later, she had been persecuted by another great noble, and her entire family had been exterminated. Only she, who at that time had been lying under the bed and playing hide-and-seek with her mother, had been able to be spared. Her mother had fallen by the side of the bed. Before her death, she had even used her own body to block the bed, and had with a backhand covered her mouth.
Eldest Senior Sister, in terms of martial soul, was actually extremely talented. Not only was she a rare innate full soul power, but she also possessed a hundred-year soul ring. Her cultivation had already reached level twenty. Zhang Lexuan should have originally been the object that her family would in the future cultivate with all their might.
Although Zhang Lexuan was only eleven or twelve years old at that time, she also knew of Shrek Academy and had knelt and begged Mu En to avenge her. At that time, because Mu En had been hit by the successive departure of Bei Bei's parents, he had agreed to Eldest Senior Sister's wish for revenge and had also told her that Shrek Academy would do its best to cultivate her into a talent. But there was one condition. She had to guard Shrek Academy for life and be Bei Bei's child bride. Eldest Senior Sister at that time had, without any hesitation, sworn an oath.
It wasn't until after Bei Bei and Tang Ya had gotten together that Elder Ancestor Xuan had told him about Eldest Senior Sister's oath. At that time, Bei Bei's feeling had been that it was unbelievable. At that time, he had only been fourteen or fifteen, and Eldest Senior Sister was already twenty-seven or twenty-eight. He felt that their age was really not suitable. And, Bei Bei's feelings for Tang Ya, did everyone still not know? Bei Bei could only argue on just grounds with Elder Ancestor Xuan. It was also at that time that he had moved out of the inner court.
Later, because the academy owed the Tang Sect, Mu En had also tacitly approved of the matter between Bei Bei and Tang Ya. It wasn't until not long ago that Mu En had once again spoken of this matter with Bei Bei, asking him that if it was possible, to be a little better to Zhang Lexuan, saying that he had let her down.
And then it was Tang Ya's disappearance. The sadness and pain in Bei Bei's heart had reached an extreme. He was already so sad. How could Zhang Lexuan still show it?
To this day, there was still no news of Tang Ya. Zhang Lexuan could see that even when Bei Bei was smiling, there was always a trace of a faint sadness in his eyes. More than two months had passed. Bei Bei looked far more mature than his actual age. In these more than two months, only he himself knew how much torment his heart had endured.
And after their investigation, the state of the nanny who had been responsible for taking care of Tang Ya's death was undoubtedly from the hands of an evil soul master. What was left on the shriveled corpse was even more so a wound caused by a plant-system evil soul master. For the size of this wound, Bei Bei already had a bit of a judgment.
He didn't even dare to speak out his guess. If the academy were to learn that the Tang Sect's master had actually fallen into becoming an evil soul master, then in the future, how would he face Tang Ya and the academy?
"Sister Lexuan, I beg you, don't tell the academy..." Bei Bei's somewhat hoarse voice sounded. With Zhang Lexuan's intelligence, how could she not have connected the matter of Tang Ya's disappearance with the corpse before her?
"You've lost weight," Zhang Lexuan saw it but did not know how to comfort him. She could only use her own gentleness to soothe the pain of this little man. She just hoped that she could share some of Bei Bei's pain.
"No, I have to go and find Little Ya," Bei Bei suddenly stood up, downcast, and was about to walk outside.
"You stop!" Zhang Lexuan took hold of his hand with one hand. She was really worried about Bei Bei in this state going far away.
"Let me go. I have to go and find her..." Bei Bei, as if he had not heard, continued to walk outwards. A great strength had pulled the Zhang Lexuan who was sitting by the bed into a stagger.
Slap!
A clear and bright slap landed on Bei Bei's face. Zhang Lexuan's beautiful pupils were complex. This one slap had not just been hit on Bei Bei's face, but had even more so pained her in her heart.
"Enough!" Zhang Lexuan roared out miserably. "This appearance of yours, where is your former shrewdness? Are you still unwilling to believe it? Tang Ya, she has become an evil soul master! She is no longer the Tang Ya you knew!"
Bei Bei had finally stood still. It was just that he did not turn his head back. "I'm sorry, Sister Lexuan. I love her. Little Ya is the most important person in my life. I will only treat you as my sister. I hope you will bless us."
Hearing Bei Bei's resolute words, something in Zhang Lexuan's heart seemed to have completely shattered. A mist of water unhelpfully spread from the bottom of her eyes. She released a stream of soul power from a distance and in an instant, had completed the imprisonment of Bei Bei.
"Alright. I will go. I will go and find Tang Ya back for you."
Zhang Lexuan fiercely took a deep breath. With this deep breath, she could even smell the bloody smell in the depths of her throat. She was a paranoid girl. The oath she had sworn to Elder Mu back then, no matter what, she had to stick to it. Rather than letting Bei Bei, who was only at the Soul Ancestor realm, go and find the Tang Ya who had fallen into becoming an evil soul master, it was better for her, this Soul Douluo, to personally make a move.
Even if Bei Bei had long since broken her heart.
She had no regrets. Her voice was already choked. The emotions that had been suppressed deep in her heart had rushed out uncontrollably. Over so many years, every time she had watched Bei Bei and Tang Ya together, her heart would be particularly painful. And now, what made her heart ache even more was Tang Ya's disappearance. From this moment on, she had felt that Bei Bei had changed. It was precisely because she understood him too well that her feeling was even more profound.
So, all along, what Zhang Lexuan had chosen was silence. She had just been silently watching him. From the initial unwillingness to the later, silent giving up, she had at times, perhaps, revealed something in front of Bei Bei. However, she had never truly asked anything of him. She had just silently buried this feeling in her own heart and had also treated the promise as an isolated island of her life's emotional guard.
Seeing Zhang Lexuan rush out the door, a pain suddenly in Bei Bei's heart. This beautiful big sister, this big sister who had always been by his side, guarding him, this big sister who had always answered every plea. When he was little, how much he had been attached to her! However, later, Tang Ya had appeared...
Bei Bei could not move. With his Soul Ancestor's strength, it was impossible for him to break free from a Soul Douluo's restraint in a short period of time. He was clear about Zhang Lexuan's character—she would answer his every plea. So Zhang Lexuan would surely go and find Tang Ya for him, even if it took her this entire life.
"I'm sorry, Sister Lexuan. I..." Bei Bei's face was covered in tears. He regretted it so much. He regretted his resoluteness just now. If Zhang Lexuan were to have some mishap on this trip, even if Tang Ya could return, he would surely have to live with this guilt until the end of his life—
