People are hypocritical, and Mu En and Long Xiaoyao were no exception. They could mercilessly kill unfamiliar Evil Soul Masters in the name of justice, sending them to meet the Sea God.
But if that Evil Soul Master was Ye Xishui…
Both Mu En and Long Xiaoyao froze instantly. Looking at Ye Xishui, who was weak and unconscious after giving birth, their expressions were conflicted and complex, and their bodies trembled.
Ye Xishui was at her most vulnerable. If they wanted to kill her, they wouldn't even need to use much strength. They could just walk over and lightly slit her throat with a knife, and this unparalleled genius of an Evil Soul Master would be no more.
But, again, could they bring themselves to do it?
After a brief moment of hesitation, the arrogant and domineering Long Xiaoyao was the first to make a decision.
Ye Xishui was his most beloved woman. What's more, their current relationship came to be because he, out of a moment of greed, wanted to see Ye Xishui one last time and thus made a grave mistake.
But no matter the outcome, no matter how happy they were now, the fact was that Ye Xishui's reputation was ruined. She was still Mu En's wife, and he was just a hidden lover. If this matter were to be exposed, Ye Xishui's name would be completely tarnished.
It was his fault, Long Xiaoyao's, for making such a big mistake out of a moment of greed. He had already made one mistake, and he didn't want to make a second.
Whether Ye Xishui was an Evil Soul Master or not, she was the woman he loved the most.
He would atone for his sin with his life.
After making his decision, Long Xiaoyao's expression became resolute. He turned to look at Mu En and saw that his expression was still conflicted, and his arm moved up and down.
Long Xiaoyao's expression changed, and he immediately stood in front of Ye Xishui, staring at Mu En and growling, "Mu En, what are you trying to do? Xishui is your wife, and you want to kill her?"
Mu En: ?
'You jerk, now you know Xishui is my wife? Why didn't you think about her being my wife when you were "using" her while she was standing?'
Mu En was so angry his nose was crooked, and he immediately started to lose his temper.
When Long Xiaoyao saw Mu En getting agitated, he thought he couldn't hold back and was about to attack Ye Xishui to nip this Evil Soul Master in the bud. So, he immediately summoned his spirit, and six soul rings, two yellow, two purple, and two black, revolved around him.
"Heh, you're a true Shrek person. When you see an Evil Soul Master, you want to kill them, even if she's your wedded wife." Long Xiaoyao's soul power surged as he sneered at Mu En. "Go on, if you want to kill Xishui, you'll have to get through me first!"
"Even if I can't beat you, if you want to kill Xishui, you'll have to step over my corpse!"
(Tang San liked the post.)
Mu En glared at Long Xiaoyao, his face red and his breathing ragged, his fists clenched tight.
Just as Long Xiaoyao thought he was about to strike, Mu En roared out four words in perfect, clear tones.
"F*** you!"
Long Xiaoyao was sprayed in the face with Mu En's spit. Mu En pointed directly at his nose and cursed him. "You dog, do you even hear the garbage you're saying? What do you mean, 'I'm a Shrek person, so I want to kill Evil Soul Masters'?"
"You even know Xishui is my wedded wife? If you knew, why didn't you stay away from my wife? Is someone else's wife so irresistible to you? That's my wife! Even if she becomes an Evil Soul Master, she's still my wife!"
"If I didn't love Xishui, I would have sent both of you to hell that morning!"
Mu En and Long Xiaoyao stared at each other. Knowing he was in the wrong, Long Xiaoyao could only sheepishly wipe the spit off his face and ask, "Then what do you propose we do? Now Xishui's spirit has mutated into an evil spirit. She's destined to become an Evil Soul Master hunted by everyone on the continent."
"No matter what you decide, I will definitely stay by Xishui's side. If someone wants to kill her because of her identity as an Evil Soul Master, then I'll kill that person!" Long Xiaoyao's face was filled with killing intent.
After cooling down, Mu En's mind returned to reason.
Long Xiaoyao could do that, but he couldn't.
Long Xiaoyao was a lone wolf. He had no family or powerful forces, and he could drop out of his academy at any time. It didn't matter if he never returned, but Mu En was different. His position was at Shrek Academy.
Shrek Academy! The number one academy on the continent!
If Mu En were just an ordinary student, dropping out would be no big deal. Shrek had so many geniuses that it didn't lack one ordinary student.
But Mu En was not an ordinary student. He was, in fact, the most outstanding genius of his generation at Shrek Academy: a Soul Sage under the age of twenty, a top talent who had absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul ring for his fourth and a hundred-thousand-year one for his seventh.
He was destined to be the leader of Shrek Academy in the next era and would surely become a pillar and a cornerstone of the academy once he matured.
In this situation, Mu En wanted to abandon Shrek and elope with Ye Xishui?
What a joke!
The last person who ate from the bowl and then cursed the bowl, wanting to betray their nurturing force for their "true love," was Bibi Dong. Her fate was to be locked in a secret room by the contemporary Spirit Hall Pope and the Douluo and turned into a puff pastry.
If Mu En dared to do the same, the people of Shrek wouldn't turn him into a puff pastry, but they would brutally dig out the hundred-thousand-year soul bone he had absorbed, and then chop him and Ye Xishui into minced meat.
Even if he wasn't turned into minced meat, he might be caught and taken back to Shrek to be tortured and brainwashed into a puppet for the academy.
And no matter what fate awaited Mu En, Ye Xishui was destined to die.
As long as he chose to elope with Ye Xishui, the high-level officials of Shrek would definitely investigate and would certainly discover the fact that Ye Xishui had become an Evil Soul Master. When dealing with Evil Soul Masters, Shrek's approach was always the same four words.
Kill them all.
This was even more true for Ye Xishui, who had seduced Mu En, the most outstanding genius of Shrek's generation and the future cornerstone.
'You temptress, you dare to bewitch our genius from Shrek? You have a path to death!'
And then Ye Xishui would be gone.
Faced with a terrifying force that had more than a dozen Titled Douluos, Ye Xishui, an Evil Soul Master who hadn't even obtained her seventh soul ring, was certain to die.
In the end, Mu En chose to return to Shrek.
Long Xiaoyao was about to flare up, but Mu En preempted him and explained the pros and cons. Long Xiaoyao also understood the power of Shrek Academy and knew that what Mu En was saying was not just a guess, but a certainty if he went through with his plan.
So Long Xiaoyao could only accept Mu En's decision. He just wanted to protect Ye Xishui; he didn't want to drag Mu En down with him and have all three of them chopped into minced meat by Shrek.
He was willing to risk his life for Ye Xishui, but Long Xiaoyao wasn't so foolish as to choose a path that even an idiot would know was a death wish.
Finally, the two of them made their decision.
Long Xiaoyao would wander the world with Ye Xishui, while Mu En would return to Shrek Academy to lie in wait, waiting for the day he became the highest authority in Shrek to rekindle his relationship with Ye Xishui.
But what Mu En and Long Xiaoyao didn't expect was that Ye Xishui had actually been an Evil Soul Master from the very beginning. She had used a special secret technique to disguise her spirit when she approached Mu En and Long Xiaoyao, preventing any evil aura from leaking out.
It wasn't until Ye Xishui gave birth that the intense pain and weakness caused the secret technique to fail, and the evil aura was completely revealed.
However, Mu En and Long Xiaoyao mistakenly believed that the stimulation from their two spirits was what caused her spirit to mutate into an evil spirit.
This was also within Ye Xishui's expectations.
She had intentionally approached Mu En and Long Xiaoyao, using her beauty and feigned personality to make these two geniuses of the black and white Holy Dragons fall under her control.
From then on, Long Xiaoyao was completely manipulated by Ye Xishui. She drove him to kill people everywhere, helping Ye Xishui cultivate her evil spirit, the Blood Soul Demon Puppet. His hands, which had only been stained with the blood of the wicked, now had the countless innocent souls of the dead added to them.
And Mu En, who was at Shrek Academy, also covered up for Ye Xishui countless times. As the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, it was too easy for Mu En to conceal the movements of an Evil Soul Master, which led to the Evil Soul Masters becoming even more rampant. The organization of Evil Soul Masters even began to grow without limit under Mu En's indulgence.
Now, the two exceptionally talented black and white Holy Dragons and Ye Xishui had all become peak powerhouses on the continent, with cultivation at the level of a ninety-ninth-level Ultimate Douluo.
Ye Xishui was an unprecedented ninety-ninth-level Ultimate Douluo Evil Soul Master. She was also a powerful level nine soul engineer who possessed a semi-demigod soul tool entangled with countless vengeful souls—the Grim Reaper's Tower.
And half of the hundreds of thousands of souls that served as fuel for the Grim Reaper's Tower were personally sent up there by Long Xiaoyao, the Dark Holy Dragon, the Dragon King Douluo.
Mu En, the highest authority of Shrek Academy and the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, was also driven by Ye Xishui to cover up many unspeakable secrets for her.
Ye Xishui had succeeded.
Through her scheming, the black and white Holy Dragons had completely become her tools and pawns. Long Xiaoyao, the Dark Holy Dragon, would even kill thousands of ordinary people at her command.
Because of Ye Xishui's schemes, which made the black and white Holy Dragons play into her hands, their story was recorded by Teacher Qingye as—
"Phoenix Playing with Two Dragons."
The Unofficial History of the Ultimate Douluo, "Phoenix Playing with Two Dragons," is complete.
The story ends here, but the turmoil this book, "Phoenix Playing with Two Dragons," stirred up on the Douluo Continent had just begun. It was far more intense than "Dragon and Phoenix Intertwined, Dragon and Phoenix Singing" and "The Sinful Teacher."
Even the popularity of "The Grand Elder's Secret Biography" was not even one-tenth of "Phoenix Playing with Two Dragons."
On the continent… the winds were changing!
