The Beginning of a Beautiful? Abusive Romance

The Heavenly Curtain, as it played, automatically evolved the images of Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui from the time of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament.

'It's finally coming!'

'What a cursed fate! Brother Mu, I have wronged you.'

Watching the Heavenly Curtain, an old man far away in the Sun Moon Empire let out a mournful sigh.

He was tall and imposing, with silver hair combed meticulously, his face as ruddy and smooth as an infant's, long eyebrows drooping down the sides of his face.

This man was none other than the Dragon Emperor Douluo, known as the 'Dark Dragon Emperor'—Long Xiaoyao.

That incident from back then had left him with lifelong regret.

···

Evil Forest—Holy Spirit Cult Headquarters.

The Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Elder, the Death God Douluo—Ye Xishui—gazed at the Heavenly Curtain with a complex expression.

For a long time, she remained silent.

Finally, she sighed inwardly, "It was I who harmed Brother Mu. That buried truth, after all, is about to be revealed to the world~"

[One of them possessed the Light Holy Dragon Martial Soul, the other the Dark Holy Dragon Martial Soul. The only soul master at that tournament capable of contending with the two of them was a soul master named Ye Xishui.]

The appearance of an outsider's perspective did not interrupt this monologue, which belonged solely to the Dragon God Douluo, Mu En.

On the contrary, it once again highlighted how extraordinary the three of them were!!

[That bastard Xiaoyao was indeed better-looking than me, but in terms of Soul Power, I still had the upper hand.]

[His Dark Holy Dragon Martial Soul and my Light Holy Dragon Martial Soul were naturally opposed, yet we never came to resent each other because of it. Instead, we admired one another and became rare and cherished friends.]

[Xishui was beautiful and powerful—she was the only female soul master who could barely match me in cultivation. The first time I saw her, she captured my heart.]

[Later, after the tournament ended, the three of us graduated and began to roam the continent.]

[During an operation to purge Evil Soul Masters, Xiaoyao and I coincidentally struck from two different directions at the same time. It wasn't until we had finished off all the Evil Soul Masters that we realized it was each other.]

[For a moment, we burst into laughter three times, and from then on, we became friends.]

[And so, Xiaoyao and I traveled together, making a name for ourselves across the continent as the Black and White Twin Holy Dragons. We even gradually developed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill! Though our Martial Soul attributes were opposite, once we coordinated, they complemented each other perfectly, with excellent results! At that time, light and darkness completed their fusion!]

[My bond with Xiaoyao grew deeper and deeper, and we became close friends who shared everything. Until one day, we encountered that powerful female soul master from the Soul Fighting Tournament—Ye Xishui.]

[From then on, the Black and White Twin Holy Dragons gained a strong and confident girl. That period was the happiest time of my life. The three of us fought side by side, punishing evil and upholding justice across the continent. It felt as if nothing in the world could stop our advance.]

[And so, ten years passed. In the year I turned twenty-eight, I broke through to the eight-ring Soul Douluo rank, and with my teacher's help, I obtained my second Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.]

"So beautiful~" Xiao Xiao, a new student who had just arrived at Shrek Academy to register, looked at the scenes unfolding on the Heavenly Curtain with great admiration.

Without a doubt, this monologue was all part of Mu En's beautiful memories.

And not just Mu En's beautiful memories—they were also the beautiful memories of Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui.

Thus, among the watching masses, many felt empathy and envy.

It was a longing for beautiful things!

For instance, a young girl like Xiao Xiao would project herself onto Ye Xishui.

Meanwhile, some young boys would project themselves onto Mu En or Long Xiaoyao.

Especially the fact that Mu En had become a Soul Douluo at twenty-eight, and even possessed two full Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings.

That talent was simply too monstrous!

No wonder he was the legendary Dragon God Douluo!!

'Tch—a bunch of naive little kids. A combination of two men and one woman like that? It's never going to last.' Watching a crowd of starry-eyed new students at the registration area, a passing Inner Court senior student sneered inwardly.

This was the wisdom of experience.

Back in the three-person team he had formed, there had also been a good brother and a female friend he secretly liked.

But later, that good brother ended up together with the girl he had a crush on.

Overwhelmed by grief and anger, he chose to leave the team and cut ties with both of them.

Every extra second he spent in that team was another second of torment.

But those words, this senior student only dared to mutter in his heart.

After all, the person on the Heavenly Curtain was none other than their own Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion Master, the legendary Dragon God Douluo—Mu En!

If a student like him actually dared to say those things out loud within the academy, he'd probably be asking for a beating.

'It's about to turn into a cheesy love triangle! Poor Mu En~'

After finishing registration and walking out of the new student teaching building, Shao Zhuang glanced at the segment the Heavenly Curtain was currently exposing and couldn't help but sigh.

As someone with a god's-eye view who had orchestrated the Heavenly Curtain, he naturally understood the trajectory of their lives perfectly.

Mu En... how to put it? He really did have it rough.

Ye Xishui had screwed him over badly.

But he was strong enough to pull himself out of that blow and rise to the very peak of humanity!

Add to that, Mu En was one of the few people within Shrek Academy who hadn't been shackled by ten thousand years of glory, still keeping a clear head.

He wanted to push reforms within the academy, to develop Soul Tool Technology...

It was just a pity that Shrek Academy was a big ship hard to turn, and with the little time he had left, he couldn't completely transform it.

'After the upcoming monologues from Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui are exposed, I really wonder what Mu En will think.' Shao Zhuang suddenly entertained a somewhat malicious thought.

From that point on, Mu En was kept completely in the dark. Although he later sensed something was off and wanted to find Ye Xishui to uncover the truth, by then, in terms of both time and his own condition, everything was already too late.

As for Long Xiaoyao, he half-understood and willingly sank into it. Only Ye Xishui knew the full truth.

[I know that Xiaoyao also liked Xishui. But I was confident that with my talent, I would surely win her favor.]

[Sure enough, when the two of us brothers confessed to Xishui at the same time, she was first startled by the sudden move, hesitated for a long while, and then made her final choice.]

[That's right, Xishui chose me!]

[I still remember vividly the pain that flickered across Xiaoyao's face at that moment. Even though we had agreed before the confession that no matter the outcome, we would still be good brothers.]

[But Xiaoyao still chose to turn and leave, walking away without looking back. On the road chasing after Xiaoyao, because I also had to take care of Xishui, I ultimately couldn't catch up.]

[I don't know where Xiaoyao went. No matter how Xishui and I searched across the continent, we couldn't find a trace of him.]

[During that entire year of searching for Xiaoyao, Xishui and I never forgot to uphold justice, eliminating evil Soul Masters. We roamed the continent as a legendary couple, becoming the outstanding figures of the younger generation in the Soul Master world.]
