Stealing My Wife's Position?
After saying that, Zhang Lexuan ignored Zhou Huan and flew directly towards Sea God Island as a streak of light.
Zhou Huan scratched his head, somewhat confused, and muttered to himself, "What's going on? I didn't make her angry, could it be that... you know?"
At this moment, Snow Empress, who had not yet returned to Floating Pagoda, naturally heard Zhou Huan's mutterings and immediately glared at him irritably. "Idiot, didn't you understand the implied meaning of Zhang Lexuan's words?"
Immediately afterward, before Zhou Huan could answer, Snow Empress disappeared.
This was also the authority Zhou Huan granted Snow Empress, allowing her to freely enter and exit the Floating Pagoda.
However, after Snow Empress's reminder, Zhou Huan immediately understood why Zhang Lexuan was angry.
This was because he was worried about the danger of him going to the Lake of Life, and he hadn't consulted her at all before making the decision.
This was indeed Zhou Huan's oversight as a boyfriend, but you can't blame him for making the decision on his own, since he never thought there would be any danger in going to the Lake of Life.
Even if all else fails, there's always the summons of two god-level powerhouses... Pshaw, the Nine-Colored Ball?
Therefore, it was still safe to meet the Silver Dragon King, so I didn't tell Zhang Lexuan about it beforehand.
Zhou Huan glanced down at Shrek City. He had already collected all his Soul Tool Shell. As for the rest of the cleanup work, he didn't need to do it. So, he moved and flew towards Sea God Island.
When it comes to appeasing your girlfriend, the sooner the better.
Zhang Lexuan never seemed to be truly angry with him; she was always very gentle and considerate. This time, she might genuinely be a little upset.
Therefore, Zhou Huan thought it best to fly back quickly and explain.
However, just as he arrived at Sea God Island, Mu En's voice came. "Zhou Huan, come to the Golden Tree."
"Sigh, "Zhou Huan thought to himself, "Isn't this ruining my life's most important thing?"
However, Mu En still needs to be given face; he still wants to become a Shrek teacher, and he should show due respect to this former leader.
When Zhou Huan arrived at the Golden Tree, he saw that not only Mu En's Golden Tree there, but also Xuan Xuanzi, Elder Song, Elder Zhuang, and even Deans Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er.
Is this Sea God Pavilion Meeting? But Sister Lexuan isn't here.
As Inner Court disciple, Zhou Huan, regardless of his strength, still treated these Pavilion Elders of the Sea God Pavilion with great politeness, and thus took the lead in greeting them. "Greetings, Mu En, Xuan Zi Elder Song, Elder Zhuang, Dean Yan, Dean Xian."
The Pavilion Elder all nodded with smiles, looking at Zhou Huan as if he were a dozen or so Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone —curious, excited, but hesitant to ask anything.
Finally, Mu En spoke first, "Zhou Huan, you can be said to have saved Shrek City and the entire academy this time. On behalf of everyone, I would like to express my gratitude to you. Of course, as a reward, if you need any Soul Bone, you can choose any that the academy has."
Mu En's words naturally carried great weight.
He was the Dragon God Douluo had dominated the Douluo Continent for over two hundred years. This was the first time in his life that he had ever so solemnly thanked an Inner Court disciple who was many generations below him.
This demonstrates that Mu En treats Zhou Huan as an equal and respects Zhou Huan's abilities.
Of course, the word "reward" at the end also shows that Zhou Huan has always been Shrek's Disciple, and Mu En would not let this naturally good relationship become distant.
It just goes to show that experience matters.
In just a sentence or two, the meaning is clearly expressed without causing any offense.
Zhou Huan naturally understood immediately and replied, "Mu En, you flatter me. As a disciple of Shrek Disciple, this is what I should do."
Then, Zhou Huan looked at Xuan Zi and explained, "Actually, I owe my current cultivation level to Xuan Zi's help."
As soon as Zhou Huan finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Xuanzi, and a series of questions arose in their minds: Is Xuan Zi (Xuanzi) really that wise? Is this a grand scheme? On the surface, Mu En is nurturing Huo Yuhao, but secretly Xuan Zi (Xuanzi) is also nurturing Zhou Huan?
Therefore, both Elder Song and Elder Zhuang, the two elders of the Sea God Pavilion, and Deans Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er, cast approving glances at Xuanzi.
Only Xuanzi, the person involved, remained completely bewildered. What was all this about? Your strength is related to me? How come I didn't know? Did I help you while I was drunk?
Seeing Xuanzi's questioning face, Zhou Huan continued, "Xuan Zi, do you still remember that during the Star Luo Soul Master Competition, you obtained a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo from the Mingde Hall? Actually, it wasn't a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo, but the Snow Empress. It was Sister Lexuan who asked Xuan Zi for help, and it's also an important reason why I have this level of cultivation now."
This was the explanation Zhou Huan had prepared long ago, and everything he said was true.
While it's impossible to fully explain his current extraordinary strength, it does provide some justification for the many Pavilion Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, suggesting that his cultivation level didn't come out of thin air.
Of course, even if Zhou Huan hadn't said anything, these Pavilion Elders, who were all at least nearly a hundred years old, wouldn't have been so oblivious as to pry into the matter.
As long as Zhou Huan isn't some kind of Evil Soul Master, it's fine. But the ice abilities Zhou Huan displayed don't seem to be the type of Evil Soul Master, so it doesn't matter.
However, rather than letting the Pavilion Elder speculate, Zhou Huan felt it would be better to give a reason that everyone could accept.
And indeed, that was the case. When the Pavilion Elder heard that Zhou Huan's cultivation had been aided by the Snow Empress, they naturally understood the situation.
Xuan Zi, in particular, suddenly had a thought: daughters grow up and leave home.
Although Zhang Lexuan wasn't raised by him, she was still raised by Shrek. Yet he still thought that Zhang Lexuan had absorbed the Soul Ring and Soul Bone of that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Who told her to get her ninth Soul Ring Hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring even asking the academy for help, and yet her strength increased so quickly?
Xuanzi always thought that this was his achievement.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Lexuan gave the Soul Beast Embryo to Zhou Huan.
Wait a minute, Xuanzi suddenly realized something. If Zhou Huan took the Soul Beast Embryo, where did Zhang Lexuan get her Hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring? Did she get it all by herself? That's unlikely.
Then, Xuanzi secretly shook his head, thinking to himself, "Forget it, it's all young people's world now, why bother with all this? Anyway, nothing good ever comes of it when I lead a team. It's more practical to enjoy my retirement, eat chicken legs, and drink a little wine."
Indeed, the recent incident at Qiankun Love-Seeking Valley has cast a psychological shadow over this Taotie Douluo, who was about to rise to prominence.
At this moment, Mu En's voice rang out again. "Alright, let's keep Zhou Huan's cultivation a secret. Although Zhou Huan displayed his strength in front of everyone this time, besides the Soul Beast, the only people present were Shrek Disciple and the City Defense Army. Everyone can keep it quiet; there's no need to spread it around, and even less need to attract the attention of the Sun Moon Empire and the Evil Soul Master. Sometimes, strength hidden in the shadows is the strongest deterrent."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan immediately gave Mu En a thumbs up in his heart.
Dragon God Douluo, you understand me!
Then, Mu En suddenly asked a surprising question, "Zhou Huan, would you be willing to be the next successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master?"
Zhou Huan: "..." Do you really decide on the successor of your Sea God Pavilion Master so casually?
Isn't Huo Gua the next heir?
Why did you just give it to me?
Uh, that doesn't seem right. Huo Gua is a successor who skips a generation, meaning he's the successor after the next generation.
So, Mu En, are you just ruling out Sister Lexuan altogether?
That won't do; how can I steal my wife's place?
Moreover, he had absolutely no interest in the Sea God Pavilion Master.
Therefore, Zhou Huan immediately and sincerely said without hesitation, "Mu En, I feel that I can't take Sister Lexuan's seat, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have anything to eat when I get home."
Mu Golden Tree En: "..."
Xuanzi, Elder Song, Yan Shaozhe, and others. "..."
After a long silence, Mu En finally said, "Alright, are you willing to join the Sea God Pavilion?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan immediately agreed, "Of course I'm willing, it would be my honor."
He could refuse to Sea God Pavilion Master, but becoming Pavilion Elder in the Sea God Pavilion was not a problem. He couldn't keep refusing, especially since Zhou Huan also wanted to stay at Shrek.
When Mu En heard Zhou Huan agree, he smiled and said, "Then, from today onwards, Zhou Huan is a member of the Sea God Pavilion. Does anyone have any objections?"
Xuanzi and the others naturally had no objections, after all, Zhou Huan had just averted a Beast Tide with his own strength.
This achievement alone is enough to get him into the Sea God Pavilion.
Then, Mu En continued, "Since everyone has no objections, I hereby declare that from today onwards, Zhou Huan is officially Sea God Pavilion member."
Immediately afterward, Mu En asked the most important question he had asked Zhou Huan: "Zhou Huan, you promised Di Tian that you would go to the Lake of Life in three days. Are you really confident? This is not something to be taken lightly. Shrek would never use sacrificing Disciple as a bargaining chip to stop the Beast Tide, especially since you are now Sea God Pavilion member."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan smiled calmly and said, "Please rest assured, Mu En, I never do anything without being certain of my success."
Mu En nodded and didn't ask any more questions, because he could tell that Zhou Huan didn't want to explain further. So he said, "It's good that you're confident. Well then, let's call it a day."
After that, the group dispersed without saying much.
After all, apart from Zhou Huan, the youngest Yan Shaozhe, and Xian Lin'er were both over ninety years old, so it was impossible for them to have any gossip or discussions after the meeting.
As for Zhou Huan, he immediately ran to Zhang Lexuan's house; his girlfriend was still angry.
