Reunion

Shrek City is located near the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, where a river flows.

I used to often take Shen Yichen and Zhang Lexuan fishing here.

Mu En stood in mid-air, looking down at the gently flowing river.

Boys and girls frolicked and played by the river, the aroma of grilled fish wafting through the air, faintly detectable even a hundred meters above the ground.

Mu En's eyes were somewhat unfocused. Six years had passed; it was time for that little guy, Yichen, to come back.

I wonder... if he can now stand against the gods?

The stream is about three meters wide, and the water is crystal clear. It's not a great spot for fishing, but it's a great spot for catching fish.

On the shore, a grill was propped up by a tree branch, and a small bonfire was burning underneath it.

'Yuhao, someone is watching you from above.'

Upon hearing the telepathic message from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, but his hands continued moving.

Spiritual Detection begins.

With his current Divine Power, he can cover a range of 100 meters.

"Is it Mu En?" Huo Yuhao's tense mood instantly relaxed.

After all, I came out this time with Sister Xiaoya and Brother Bei. Brother Bei is Mu En's great-grandson, so Elder Mu En must have come to protect him because he was worried about him.

"Yuhao... the fish isn't cooked yet. I can smell the aroma..."

A soft, sticky moan rang in Huo Yuhao's ears.

The girl looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with long black hair styled in a ponytail that hung down her back.

With her almond-shaped eyes, her facial features can be described as almost perfectly exquisite.

She absolutely deserves the title of a top-tier beauty.

"Wait a little longer, Xiaoya. You can't rush things."

Beside him, a boy with short, dark blue hair shone like a sapphire in the sunlight.

He was refined yet slightly lazy, his eyes sparkling as he looked at the girl with undisguised doting affection.

"You should call me Teacher Xiaoya!" Tang Ya snorted.

"Okay, okay, Teacher Xiaoya."

"Speaking of which, Yuhao, are you really not considering joining the Tang Sect?" Tang Ya looked at Huo Yuhao with great interest. Ever since she met this little guy several years ago, she had a feeling that this child was born to belong to the Tang Sect.

Unfortunately, Yuhao has not given in.

Huo Yuhao shook his head calmly, "Sister Xiaoya, I already said that. I already have a sect."

Tang Ya muttered softly, "Wasn't the Body Sect wiped out a long time ago?"

Huo Yuhao paused in his grilling of fish. "Yes, the Body Sect was wiped out long ago. But I can always gather the families of several Soul Saints Soul Douluos. But your Tang Sect, wasn't it also destroyed? The only one you can really rely on is Brother Bei."

Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya have known each other for four or five years. He has long known that Tang Ya is someone who has no ill intentions but can't keep her mouth shut.

But... so what?

Over the past five years, Huo Yuhao has long since learned how to get along with Tang Ya.

When she says something you don't like, you say something she doesn't like in return. It's a game of witty banter, isn't it?

Tang Ya's face flushed red, and she was about to say, "How could you say such a hurtful thing?"

However, past experience told her that when the two of them argued, she couldn't possibly win against Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao was like a woman with maxed-out palace intrigue and street brawling skills living in his mind; he could leave Huo Yuhao speechless with just a few words.

Seeing Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao arguing, Bei Bei remained unmoved; she'd seen it all before and was used to it. She'd comfort Tang Ya in a bit, and then it would all be over.

Thankfully, Xiaoya and Yuhao occasionally clash and are like oil and water; otherwise, Bei Bei would really worry that Xiaoya and Yuhao would fall for each other.

"Wow~"

As the group bickered, another adorable exclamation came from the woods.

Unlike Tang Ya's voice, this voice has a natural, innocent, and charming quality. Even without seeing the person, one can imagine a confused and naive young girl.

"Yichen Yichen, this smells so good!"

The sound came again, and then a golden, furry head peeked out from the dense forest.

"Huh?"

"Yichen, there's someone here."

Upon hearing the name from the girl's lips, Bei Bei's expression froze instantly. Her languid demeanor vanished in an instant, and she instinctively sat up straight, staring intently into the depths of the dense forest.

Soon, another clear male voice came from deep within the dense forest, "Of course there's someone here. If there weren't, would the fish cook itself?"

"Hehe, you're right." Di Qiu'er peeked at the group and walked out of the woods confidently. "Hello, I'm Di Qiu'er. Do you sell grilled fish?"

Huo Yuhao remained expressionless and shook his head. "Sorry, this fish isn't for sale."

"If you're not selling, how about you treat us to two?" Shen Yichen strolled lazily out of the woods, a nonchalant smile playing on his lips, and raised an eyebrow at Bei Bei. "Yo, Little Blue Hair, long time no see."

"It really is you!!"

Bei Bei's eyes instantly reddened, and tears almost fell. She stood up and rushed to Shen Yichen, punching Shen Yichen in the chest. "Where have you been all these years! I thought I'd never see you again!"

Although Bei Bei and Shen Yichen haven't seen each other for five years, their feelings for each other haven't diminished with time.

"My Mu En only told me that you left Shrek City. But you are the successor to the Pavilion Master! I thought you were dead!"

"Alright, alright, don't cry, don't cry." Shen Yichen mischievously reached out and ruffled Bei Bei's short blue hair into a bird's nest.

"Get lost!" Bei Bei laughed and cursed, as blue electricity circulated around her body, crackling loudly.

"Brother Bei, who is this...?" Huo Yuhao had never seen the usually refined and composed Bei Bei so out of control. He glanced at Sister Xiaoya beside him and noticed that she was also looking at the newcomer with a puzzled expression.

Bei Bei was taken aback. He remembered that Yichen's identity was supposed to be kept secret, right?

He was stunned. Shen Yichen, however, stepped forward familiarly to introduce himself, putting his arm around Bei Bei's shoulder, "Little Blue Hair and I are like brothers who grew up together. My name is Shen Yichen, hello everyone..."

"Yichen- ge. I'm Huo Yuhao."

"I'm Tang Ya." Tang Ya looked at Bei Bei suspiciously. "Bei Bei, why have you never told me you had such a good brother?"

Bei Bei looked embarrassed; of course, she didn't trust him at first!

My initial approach to Tang Ya was simply to complete Mu En's mission.

Now he can say that he has truly fallen in love with Tang Ya, but a few years ago, did that vixen Tang Ya even deserve to be compared to Shen Yichen?

"Because I thought he was long dead. He left without a word and came back without saying goodbye." At first, Bei Bei was trying to explain to Tang Ya, but the more she talked, the angrier she became.

Shen Yichen sighed, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to leave back then either. Do you think I wanted to leave my hometown?"

"So, someone really forced you?" Bei Bei's expression tightened. Someone even more powerful than Mu En?

Or rather... God?!
