Ye Xishui's Madness

[It turned out that Xishui's husband was a powerful Evil Soul Master.]

[After rescuing Xishui, he used his own formidable evil power to guide her martial soul into a mutation, causing her to fall and become what is known as an Evil Soul Master.]

[From that point on, Xishui had no way back. For the rest of her life, she could only continue living as an Evil Soul Master.]

[It was precisely because of this that Xishui came to hate Mu En, me, and the Evil Soul Master who became her husband.]

[Because Xishui believed that the three of us had destroyed her life.]

"So tragic?!" Within Shrek Academy's inner courtyard, girls like Ling Luochen were the most prone to empathy.

They were also more likely to fiercely embellish the grudges and entanglements in their imaginations.

In truth, it wasn't just these young girls;

The vast majority of people on the continent felt regret for Ye Xishui's tragic circumstances, their attitudes shifting completely.

After all, from the perspective of Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao's monologue, Ye Xishui appeared purely as a pitiful victim.

Earlier, during Dragon God Douluo Mu En's monologue, they hadn't felt this way.

While sympathizing with Mu En, they had also scorned Ye Xishui.

"I never expected Senior Xishui to have suffered such a tragic fate." Cai Mei'er couldn't help but sigh.

Such a tumultuous destiny changed the younger generation's view of Ye Xishui considerably.

After all, back then they had no way of knowing the inner truth, only seeing the surface.

But sympathy was sympathy; on matters of right and wrong, there would be no change whatsoever.

Because Ye Xishui's actions had led to the attack on Shrek Academy, severely wounding the previous Sea God Pavilion Master and damaging his very foundation—that was an indisputable fact!!

The reason everyone's attitude toward Ye Xishui had changed so much was ultimately due to the different emphasis Mu En and Long Xiaoyao placed on her in their monologues.

Mu En, having moved past his heartbreak, glossed over matters concerning Ye Xishui, leading to various misunderstandings.

Long Xiaoyao, trapped in his emotional tribulation his entire life, had never escaped it, so in his monologue he naturally wanted to pour out everything related to Ye Xishui.

Just these two monologues had already caused such a shift.

It was hard to imagine what the beings on this continent would think once Ye Xishui's own monologue appeared.

Many would likely be shocked and stunned, but even more would feel the anger of having been fooled like fools.

This reversal upon reversal, again and again, was far too interesting.

"So that's how Mother met Father?!" At the Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters, Zhong Liwu stared at the content on the Heavenly Curtain, somewhat incredulous.

Clearly, Zhong Liwu had been thoroughly misled by the monologue exposed on the Heavenly Curtain.

Although he knew who his father and mother were, He wasn't entirely clear on some of the details.

After all, back then, Old Ghost Zhongli had attacked Shrek Academy and rescued Ye Xishui, but he had also been severely wounded, close to death.

After barely holding on for decades, realizing he couldn't last much longer, he forced Ye Xishui to bear him a child—Zhong Liwu.

···

"Just like this, just like this. The more they sympathize with Ye Xishui, the better. When the truth comes out, the effect will be even greater."

Shao Zhuang, in disguise, strolled through Shrek City, observing the reactions of those around him to the Heavenly Curtain.

He was very satisfied with this.

This was exactly the effect Shao Zhuang wanted; only then would his arrangement of the order of Mu En's three monologues not be wasted.

[After learning the truth, Mu En and I had no idea what to do.]

[Xishui was no longer the Xishui of the past. Even we were no longer the people we used to be. We all had our own families, our own changes.]

[Xishui didn't kill us. Instead, she made us swear a poisonous oath. From that moment on, Mu En and I could no longer address each other as brothers. And ten years later, she forced Mu En and me into a life-or-death battle. In that battle, only one of us could survive; otherwise, our families and friends would face death threats.]

[Driven by the lingering feelings for Xishui, the guilt toward her, and the mutual resentment between brothers, Mu En and I, as if possessed, agreed to that so-called life-or-death duel.]

[Back then, I kept thinking: if either I or Mu En had persisted in searching for the vanished Xishui, would the ending have been different?]

[Ten years later, the life-or-death battle arrived as scheduled. Under Xishui's witness, Mu En and I fought fiercely, ultimately both suffering heavy injuries. And when I saw Xishui again, her appearance had changed—no longer aged as before, but restored to youth.]

[Since no victor was decided, Xishui relentlessly set another ten-year pact. But the result was still mutual destruction.]

[This repeated for decades. By the time Mu En and I had reached a hundred years of age, no longer young, our cultivation had already achieved Super Douluo.]

[But just then, Xishui vanished once more. Before leaving, she specially sent us letters. She told us she knew we had been faking our fights all along.]

[So in the upcoming life-or-death battle at the age of one hundred, only one of Mu En and I could survive. Otherwise, the continent would face devastation!!]

[We knew Xishui had the power to do all that. After all, her cultivation had reached level ninety-eight. Mu En and I were still no match for her. An Evil Soul Master with soul power at level ninety-eight could easily plunge the continent into chaos.]

[Decades passed. Mu En and I not only failed to move past those old feelings, but sank deeper with time.]

[After all, given our status and positions, we could have mobilized a large number of experts to successfully besiege and kill Xishui. But we never did, nor did we ever have that thought. We kept maintaining the current situation with life-or-death battles that never produced a victor.]

[Xishui naturally understood Mu En's and my intentions, knowing the reasons behind them.]

[So at the end of the letter, she specifically said: after all these years, she had seen our feelings for her and was willing to let go of her long-held hatred.]

[But she could only be with the strongest of the two. This would be our final punishment.]

[If the life-or-death battle produced a winner, then the victor could marry Xishui as his wife. If it continued as before, with both sides pretending to be gravely wounded, then Xishui would bring calamity to the continent.]

[So at that time, Mu En and I were deeply entangled, unable to make a choice.]
