Douluo Continent: Shrek Prince, Getting to the Root of the Matter

"Would you like to come home with me?"

Wang Dong stood at the east gate of Shrek Academy and said with some reluctance.

"Want to go home with me?"

Yu Wudao's expression was strange.

Are you implying I've lived too long? What's the difference between going to the Haotian Sect now and a lamb entering a tiger's den?

Wang Dong nodded, his expression expectant.

"Forget it, I still need to go back to Tianlongmen, and I'm afraid I don't have enough time."

Wang Dong's face darkened, and he took one last reluctant look at Yu Wudao before leaving the academy.

No sooner had her figure disappeared from sight than two figures appeared beside Yu Wudao.

One was a stunningly beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure, and the other was a tall, slender, and dashing young man dressed in white.

It was Zhang Lexuan and Mu En.

Yu Wudao first stepped forward and took Zhang Lexuan's hand, then said to Mu En:

"Grandpa, are you going now?"

Zhang Lexuan naturally grasped Yu Wudao's hand in return, completely devoid of the awkwardness and shyness she had shown in front of Mu En.

Moon watched this scene with a broad smile and said:

"Yes, you're almost level 39 now, I need to go and pinpoint the location of that soul beast beforehand."

However, Yu Wudao said with some concern:

"Grandpa, the Golden-haired Lion Mastiff is a different kind of spirit beast from the current half-baked Beast King species. You must be very careful! Don't underestimate it because of your cultivation level. Once you've located it, come back quickly! We'll figure out a solution then. Don't be reckless!"

Mu En habitually reached out and tapped Yu Wudao on the head, laughing and scolding:

"Do you think Grandpa is a child? Wait until you can recognize all the spirit beasts before you start teaching Grandpa about them! Besides, even if Grandpa went there and got killed by it right now, you couldn't absorb it, so what are you worrying about?"

With that, Moon vanished from their sight in a flash.

Back then, Yu Wudao was very unwilling after learning about the golden-haired lion mastiff.

He doesn't have twin martial souls, so the position of each soul ring is crucial and cannot be compromised in the slightest!

The golden-haired lion mastiff, a peak strength-type soul beast, is clearly one of the best choices in the entire soul beast world. He doesn't want to give up as long as there's even the slightest chance to obtain this soul ring!

He didn't believe that such a powerful super soul beast would appear and disappear for no reason, and neither did Moon!

So after obtaining his first spirit ring, he had a sudden inspiration.

Since the golden-haired lion mastiff was fighting with a horned tyrannosaurus when it appeared, perhaps using a horned tyrannosaurus could also lure it out!

So, Yu Wudao and Mu En put their heads together and decided to test the waters.

After obtaining the spirit ring, they deliberately left the corpse of the Horned Tyrannosaurus Rex at the place where Moon had discovered the Golden-haired Lion Mastiff years ago.

Then, with Mu En's assistance, Yu Wudao used the corpse of the Horned Tyrannosaurus Rex to amplify its aura instantly with his martial soul, which even covered almost the entire Mingdou Mountain Range in that instant!

After doing all this, in order to completely put its worries aside, the two left a memory device on the spot and then left directly.

However, halfway through their journey, the two suddenly flew back.

Upon returning to the original spot, they discovered that the carcass of the Horned Tyrannosaurus Rex had indeed vanished! Only a huge claw mark remained!

The image-recording soul tool perfectly captured all of this!

Moon then understood.

It turns out that all these years, the golden-haired lion mastiff has been somewhere in Mingdou, never leaving.

As for why Moon had never found it back then, he had a vague guess in his mind.

When Mu En was young, he entered a secret realm, a subsidiary plane that did not exist in the Douluo Continent. It was there that Mu En obtained the dragon core of a fully grown white dragon!

Perhaps, somewhere in the Mingdou Mountains, there exists such a plane, and the Golden Lion Mastiff lives in it!

After Mu En disappeared, Yu Wudao rubbed his head with one hand and took Zhang Lexuan's hand with the other as they left Shrek Academy.

Tianlongmen

The once bustling sect was unusually quiet today. A large number of disciples had chosen to go out on missions recently, which even led to the clearing out of the previously backlogged mission inventory. Disciples who failed to secure missions were left stranded in the sect.

Within the sect, from elders to disciples, everyone was on high alert; even the mischievous children who used to play in the streets had disappeared.

Because the sect's biggest "brat" is going home!

"How long until Wudao gets home?"

Mu Yuyan was knitting something when she asked the man lying beside her, dozing in the sun.

"Yuyan, you've asked me this seven or eight times already. The child only left yesterday morning, and will arrive by this afternoon at the latest. It's only an hour or two, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

Yu Yuanheng squinted and complained.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yuyan was furious.

"What kind of father are you? The child hasn't been home for almost two years and this is how you behave? Look at you, you deadbeat, how are you any like my wicked father?"

I've heard that Wudao is a force to be reckoned with at Shrek Academy, surpassing all the current geniuses. He became the leading figure in the entire outer academy the moment he entered! And look at you...

All he does is sunbathe and walk his birds all day; he's neglected his cultivation! Don't let him lose his elder position during the year-end assessment and bring shame upon Wudao!

Yu Yuanheng accepted the advice.

"Yes, yes, my wife is brilliant! But with Wudao here, no matter what the sect leader says, he can't take away my position as elder. Don't worry, my wife."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yuyan paused in her actions, raised her eyebrows, and glared at Yu Yuanheng, saying:

"What kind of grown-up father lives off his young son?! I've noticed your skin is getting thicker and thicker! I think you've corrupted Wudao since he was a child?!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanheng immediately straightened up, widened his eyes, and pointed to himself with his right hand, saying:

"Me? Leading the wicked astray?"

Mu Yuyan nodded seriously, and then said:

"Luckily, Wudao has always been full of energy since he was a child, so he didn't learn your lazy ways, otherwise I'm afraid..."

Seeing Mu Yuyan's confident expression, Yu Yuanheng gave up on explaining and lay down again, somewhat speechless.

However, seeing that Yu Yuanheng had lain down again, Mu Yuyan angrily said once more:

"Still lying there! Go buy the ingredients for dinner! Otherwise, when Wudao comes back, I'll take out those birds of yours and stew them for him to nourish himself!"

Yu Yuanheng sighed and got up, looking unwilling but still walking towards the outside of the courtyard.

"What a misfortune for our family...what a misfortune for our family..."

Mu Yuyan snorted coldly and lowered her head to continue her work.

"Winter has already arrived, I wonder if Wudao has been dressing properly all this time..."

……

Yu Wudao led Zhang Lexuan directly from the sky into the Tianlong Gate.

Upon recognizing the newcomer, the surrounding disciples hurriedly stood at attention and shouted in unison:

"Greetings, Young Sect Master! Welcome home, Young Sect Master!"

Yu Wudao shook his head, ignoring the tense expressions of the crowd.

He took Zhang Lexuan's hand and hurried towards his home, giving her instructions along the way:

"My parents are very easygoing people, so you don't need to be so nervous, Sister Lexuan."

"Eh... really?"

This was Zhang Lexuan's first time meeting her parents, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous. She parted her lips slightly.

"I thought your parents would be more assertive..."

"Does Sister Lexuan mean that my personality is terrible?"

"Of course not! It's just..."
