Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 191 Worried
"Hehe, I never expected that the little guy from back then could actually do this much."

Because the voice was so hoarse that it was impossible to tell whether it was a sigh or a sarcasm, Zhongli Wu's back was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

Could she be planning to harm her own obedient disciple?!

"Mother! My disciple..."

However, Ye Xishui, who had seen through her adopted son's thoughts, did not give him a chance to continue speaking.

"Alright! I have no ill intentions towards him, and I don't care about his intention to attack Shrek Academy."

"I just want to see him when he returns. Is that alright?"

"No problem."

"Okay, Xiaoyao, let's go."

After saying that, Ye Xishui led Long Xiaoyao, whose expression was complicated, away from the Holy Spirit Sect's main hall.

Watching the two figures leave, Zhongli Wu slumped into the seat behind him, but his expression was now filled with determination.

"My disciple, no matter what, even for the sake of the Holy Church, you cannot be harmed in any way, nor can Mother and Uncle Long!"

After leaving the main hall, Ye Xishui remained silent, seemingly unaware of the strangeness around her, and walked on the path leading to the back mountain.

She wanted to see when Long Xiaoyao, this blockhead, would finally take the initiative.

If he were to lower his head and beg her to save Mu En's life, she wouldn't necessarily refuse.

After all, no matter how special Lin Po's situation was, it still couldn't compare to Long Xiaoyao, who had been by his side for over a hundred years.

Before long, Long Xiaoyao finally couldn't hold back his doubts and took the initiative to speak.

"Xi Shui, why are you so special to that child?"

Upon hearing this, the slender figure in front of them, whose beauty could not be concealed even by a black robe, froze on the spot, her face instantly turning ashen beneath her hood.

Is he crazy?! He's been thinking about this for all this time?!

This bastard is so old, does he really think he'd be jealous of a teenager?!

But she couldn't leave this question unanswered; she was an old woman and had no interest in dating younger men.

“He looks a lot like me.”

Unlike her previous hoarse voice, Ye Xishui unusually switched back to her original tone this time, and the familiar gentleness drew Long Xiaoyao into his past memories.

"Xi Shui, you've changed."

"."

However, this time Long Xiaoyao's soliloquy did not receive a response from Ye Xishui.

This was because she also recalled the bizarre experiences she had after the appearance of the boy named Lin Po.

Rakshasa God is the self-proclaimed name of that deity, and also the evil deity recorded in historical books who was killed by the sea god ten thousand years ago.

Having a thorough understanding of history and being a master of evil spirits, Ye Xishui naturally scoffs at the distinction between good and evil.

After learning the name of that deity, she even harbored the idea of ​​seizing the divine position and becoming a god herself.

Unfortunately, even the immense power possessed by a fragment of a divine position was beyond the reach of an ordinary Limit Douluo like her.

Ye Xishui's proudest power was shattered in an instant, plunging her into a state of helplessness and despair once again.

Unexpectedly, the god did not choose to kill Ye Xishui because of her offense. Instead, he absorbed the infinite resentment hidden in her body to restore his power.

Without resentment, although Ye Xishui still harbored hatred in her heart, she would no longer be ruled by hatred as often as before.

Later, perhaps because of their similar experiences, the two of them became 'friends' who shared the same plight.

And so, the two women, both deeply entrenched in bitterness and hatred, talked for a long time in the Rakshasa Secret Realm and devised a plan that no one knew about.

And the central point of that plan was Lin Po, who unintentionally led them together.

Once Ye Xishui was free from the memories in her mind, she realized that it was already broad daylight, and the bright sunlight was shining through the gaps in the leaves onto her half-hidden face, making her feel a long-lost warmth.

Glancing at Long Xiaoyao, who was still wallowing in self-pity behind her, Ye Xishui sighed helplessly, wondering why she had ever fallen for this guy back then.

His voice then returned to its hoarse state.

"Xiaoyao, it's time to go." After saying this, Ye Xishui withdrew her gaze and stopped paying attention to Long Xiaoyao, heading straight back to her residence in the back mountain.

Seeing this, Long Xiaoyao didn't dare to delay and quickly followed.

Although he was still puzzled as to why Ye Xishui had returned to her current emotionally stable state, he felt that the current situation was already quite good.

At least I no longer need to go against my conscience and do those heinous things.

. . .

Meanwhile, Shrek Academy, facing a formidable enemy, is frantically mobilizing all available resources.

All this is to withstand the onslaught of the Body Sect and preserve Shrek Academy's millennia-old foundation.

Of course, some elders did consider seeking peace with the Body Sect, but they all knew about the grudge between Poison Undying and Mu En, so the idea was dismissed the moment it arose.

A blood feud is not something that can be easily resolved.

Outside the Sea God Pavilion, a group of elders led by Yan Shaozhe were staring intently at Xuanzi, who was still leisurely eating a chicken leg, their tone slightly anxious.

"Elder Xuan, how is Elder Mu now?"

"Don't worry about it."

Last night, the golden tree suddenly emitted a brilliant golden light, and within this light, Elder Mu's decades-long ailment was instantly cured. He is currently in seclusion to recuperate.

"When that old bastard Poison Monster arrives, he'll be utterly defeated!"

What were said casually acted like a stabilizing force, completely calming the restless hearts of all the elders.

"Good! Now that our teacher has recovered, what trouble can the mere Body Sect cause!"

As Mu En's disciple, Yan Shaozhe was the most excited.

Firstly, it's because Shrek Academy has been able to continue its prosperity. Secondly, after Moon recovers and overcomes his current difficulties, he will definitely go to the continent to search for the high-age soul bone he lost.

With the power of the Golden Tree, he will still be the invincible Phoenix Douluo, instead of the 'Independent Golden Rooster' that is currently being mocked by the outside world.

On the other side, Song Yunzhi, the most senior person present, immediately thought of settling scores after learning that the crisis had passed, and asked Yan Shaozhe in a calm and unhurried manner.

"Shao Zhe, have any other forces on the continent responded to our plea for help?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone fell silent and turned their gaze to Yan Shaozhe, whose expression was somewhat unpleasant.

"No."

"No? What do you mean?"

"Currently, no force is providing any manpower support, except for a few related forces of the Tianlong Sect that have provided some material support."

The other forces, let alone supplies, even sent messengers who were only Soul King level cultivators.

After he finished speaking, the previously harmonious atmosphere instantly fell silent, and everyone's face turned as black as if it had been smeared with coal.

"That's so true, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter!"

"What about the Spirit Soul Merchant Guild?! They didn't offer any support either, did they?"

Song Yunzhi first gritted her teeth and cursed those inactive forces, then grasped at the last 'lifeline'.

Having one faction aligned with Shrek is better than having none at all.

Moreover, with the financial support of the Spirit Soul Merchant Guild, it wouldn't be difficult for Shrek Academy to restore its former glory.

"No, that's not it. Although the Spirit Soul Merchant Guild didn't send anyone to support us either, they secretly sent a large number of mid-to-high-level soul tools, as well as three level-eight soul tools for defense."

"According to the letter, because the Star Luo Empire has cut off contact with Shrek Academy, their situation has not been very good recently, and they are often targeted by forces in Star Luo's homeland."

Therefore, we simply couldn't send any extra personnel to provide support, so we could only send over some soul tools purchased from the Sun Moon Empire's black market.

Hearing this, Song Yunzhi and the others' expressions improved somewhat. Other forces didn't matter; the stronger the fist, the more likely they were to return.

But the Spirit Soul Merchant Guild is too important a purse string; it can't afford any mishaps.

"Very well, there are always forces that share the glory and disgrace of Shrek Academy. Everyone, disperse and prepare for battle. We must keep the enemy out of Shrek Academy!"

"Yes!"
