Calm

"Ancestor Sea God, I have arranged for Huo Yuhao to stay in Shrek City and have instilled Shrek's glory and beliefs in that child."

"In the future, he will most likely work hard to get into the Shrek Academy and eventually become a fresh blood for Shrek."

"Does the Sea God Ancestor have any further instructions?"

Inside the Golden Ancient Tree, Mu En stood with his head bowed, his expression solemn. Anyone who saw him would think he was a devout believer.

Before long, the Divine Oracle of the Sea God silently appeared in his mind.

A look of understanding flashed across Mu En's face, and he responded solemnly.

"Rest assured, Ancestor. I will ensure that child builds a deep bond at Shrek."

"I will also make proper arrangements for the child from the Clear Sky Sect who was sent here in a few days."

Really,

Tang God King couldn't wait any longer.

Huo Yuhao had just arrived at Shrek when he arranged for Wang Dong to come over as well.

Building bonds...

Sensing that the Sea God had 'left,' Mu En relaxed back in the lounge chair, his eyelids drooping. Although his face was young and handsome, his demeanor still carried a sense of old age.

Shrek is no longer suitable for Yichen.

Although the Sea God didn't say it outright today, his words implied that he wanted Huo Yuhao to join Shrek Academy. He even said that handing over the position of Sea God Pavilion Master wouldn't be a problem.

In the future, they might even be tasked with helping Huo Yuhao gain the approval of the Elders.

Mu En shook his head, feeling exhausted.

Why not let Yichen build his own power base outside Shrek?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Mu En suppressed it.

Having spent over a year with the little guy, Mu En believed he had come to understand the little guy's nature.

If he hadn't initially suggested that the child inherit the Sea God Pavilion, he wouldn't have had many thoughts about it.

But if he brought it up himself, only to be excluded because of the Sea God, then he'd be furious...

"For the next few years, no one will be going fishing with this old man in the Star Dou Great Forest..."

Shrek City

Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun'er were settled by Mu En in a small courtyard.

The courtyard isn't large, but it's cozy enough.

Huo Yuhao, who had been tense like a spring for a year, suddenly relaxed.

Although he was young, he wasn't stupid. He could tell that his master and mother were both anxious and eager for him to grow up.

Although he didn't know why, he was willing to meet his master's and mother's expectations.

But...

"Mom, how is Master now?"

"Sect Master..." Huo Yun'er's expression was indescribably complicated; she didn't know how to explain it to Yuhao.

Those eyes might still be watching them, mother and child.

Yuhao is just a child. If what was said was subtle, Yuhao wouldn't understand. But if the Sea God understood, it would be dangerous.

"The Sect Master must have left the Star Dou Great Forest and gone into seclusion somewhere else. If you want to find the Sect Master, Yuhao will have to work hard at cultivation..."

"Then, Mom, do I have to go to the Shrek Academy?" Huo Yuhao raised his little head.

"Does Yuhao want to go?"

"Me? I don't know..."

"If you don't know, don't rush. Take your time and make a decision once you know."

Huo Yun'er picked up Huo Yuhao rubbed his head, "Yuhao, remember, Mommy loves you..."

Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat. These seemingly ordinary words gave Huo Yuhao an ominous feeling.

"Mother?"

Huo Yun'er opened her mouth, but didn't say anything; she just smiled lovingly.

She had a premonition that the day she would leave this world was fast approaching.

The sect leader was able to barely survive his death by relying on his strength Level 99 Limit Douluo, but I am different.

Yuhao, Mom believes in you. I believe that one day you will bring Mom back to life. And our family will live happily together...

Regardless of their stance, Tang God King's semi-mechanical divine intervention has caused various parties to have their own worries.

Shen Yichen, who was attending the banquet at the Heavenly Dragon Sect, also showed little interest.

Looking up, I saw Sister Lexuan politely entertaining Heavenly Dragon Douluo, Nan Shuishui, and other people from Dragon City.

Shen Yichen frowned, sighed, picked up the pastries on the table, and started taking small bites.

"Little brother, are you also a student at the Shrek Academy, even though you're so young?" Nan Qiuqiu asked with a grin.

Nan Qiuqiu was young, with her black hair tied in two cute buns. Her pink cheongsam gave her a festive, traditional Chinese look. Normally, Shen Yichen would tease her a couple of times, but now...

"Yes~" Shen Yichen replied perfunctorily.

"Uh." Nan Qiuqiu was a little embarrassed. In Dragon City, very few people would disrespect her like this.

"So, little brother, what level is your Soul Power now?"

"Nan Qiuqiu! What do you want to do!"

Before Shen Yichen reply, Yu Tianlong flashed forward, blocking Shen Yichen's path like a wall.

Both possess the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, Bei Bei appears refined and gentle, with the potential to be a beast in human clothing. However, Yu Tianlong's robust and domineering physique is more similar to that of a barbarian from the Body Sect.

"I didn't do anything, I was just asking!" Nan Qiuqiu quickly explained, she wasn't a child who didn't know what was important.

"Brother Tianlong, it's okay. Sister Qiuqiu just wants to be friends with me."

Even if one is in a bad mood, one should not neglect proper manners.

"I am a level 17 Battle Soul Master."

"Level 17?!" Before Nan Qiuqiu could even express her surprise, Yu Tianlong was already astonished.

He originally thought Shen Yichen was just a six-year-old child who had just awakened his Martial Soul, and that he would be lucky to reach level eleven or twelve. He never expected him to be level seventeen!

Genius!

No wonder he's Shrek genius who deserves to be treated with such respect by his father.

Seeing the burning desire in Yu Tianlong's eyes, Shen Yichen knew what he was thinking. He had been just like that before he had subdued Bei Bei.

"When we have some free time later, we can practice together and improve."

"Good!"

Seeing that the two had reached an agreement and had left her aside, Nan Qiuqiu quickly said, "Me too! Me too!"

"You?" Yu Tianlong looked at Nan Qiuqiu and shook his head. "You're too weak!"

Nan Qiuqiu and Yu Tianlong are about the same age, and she is almost the same age as Bei Bei.

However, Yu Tianlong and Bei Bei are already over level 20. Nan Qiuqiu, on the other hand, is only level 19.

"You..." Nan Qiuqiu puffed out her cheeks and clenched her little pink fists.

"Alright, alright. Let's all learn from each other and improve together..." Shen Yichen acted as a peacemaker, originally thinking that at their age, they should be like Bei Bei.

It wasn't until I left Shrek that I realized how rare Bei Bei's emotional intelligence and shrewdness were among her peers.

"Come on, have some pastries and drinks. After today, we're all friends!"

Shen Yichen felt like he was coaxing a child.

Let's appease them. Both of them have decent talent and the potential to break through to the Titled Douluo. Building a good relationship is never a bad thing.
