Above the Sky Screen.
The Radiant Holy Sword stopped abruptly, just inches from Feng Ling's forehead.
The golden flames flared violently, illuminating the shock on Yan Shaozhe's face.
His hand began to tremble uncontrollably.
If he killed her, he could erase all of this.
He would still be the promising genius of Shrek Academy, the Radiant Phoenix everyone admired.
But—she was his child!
His own flesh and blood!
[This was Yan Shaozhe's first child.]
[The appearance of this child awakened the last trace of warmth in Yan Shaozhe's humanity.]
At that moment, the Sky Screen's narration sounded like merciless mockery.
In the scene, Yan Shaozhe finally drew back the flaming holy sword.
He closed his eyes, unable to look at Feng Ling's sorrowful expression again. His voice was hoarse and weary.
["Go—and never appear before me again."]
Feng Ling gave him one last, profound look, her expression impossibly complicated.
There was hatred, resentment, and a trace of relief.
Clutching her belly, she struggled to her feet and disappeared into the night without looking back.
And so, the Sky Screen's show came to an end.
But the storm it had unleashed was only just beginning.
[Douluo II Period]
Holy Spirit Cult headquarters.
Zhongli Wu's bloodshot eyes were fixed on a black-robed elder beside him. His voice was as hoarse as an old bellows.
"Where's Feng Ling?! Where is the vice sect leader now?!"
The elder shuddered under his gaze, instantly breaking into a cold sweat. He stammered, "R-Reporting to you, Sect Leader, when the Sky Screen first appeared, the vice sect leader said she had some business to attend to and left headquarters. We don't know where she is now—"
At the same time, the entire continent erupted.
"My God! She cheated on her husband and got pregnant by an Evil Soul Master? Yan Shaozhe really will sleep with anyone!"
"Shrek Academy, all high-minded on the surface! They preach about wiping out Evil Soul Masters, but secretly have children with them? What a farce!"
"Cai Mei'er's life is so miserable, getting stuck with a scumbag like him."
Countless jeers and curses surged toward Shrek Academy—and Yan Shaozhe.
[Douluo I Period]
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
To prepare for a possible attack by Spirit Hall, Ning Fengzhi had already brought Ning Rongrong and the others to the sect for protection.
At that moment, the other five members of the Shrek Seven Devils were gathered together, watching the spectacle on the Sky Screen with varied expressions.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Ma Hongjun stroked his chin, his small eyes glinting with excitement.
"That kid's got a bright future!"
"His home flag's still flying, but he's got flags fluttering all over the place outside! He even dared to get involved with an Evil Soul Master—and got her pregnant!"
"That kid's got the same flair Fatty had back in the day!"
"No, he's got even more nerve than Fatty did!"
Dai Mubai shook his head, a wry smile on his lips. "That kid's got some real guts. Our juniors at Shrek really are all exceptional."
There was censure in his words, but his eyes were mostly filled with amused curiosity.
Ning Rongrong, standing to the side, blushed and spat lightly. "Pah! You men are all scoundrels!"
[Douluo II Period]
Inside the Sea God Pavilion, Yan Shaozhe was utterly speechless.
His face was ashen, his eyes vacant, as if all the life had been drained from him.
His earlier self-righteous defense now sounded like an enormous joke.
It was over.
Everything was over.
His deepest secret had been laid bare for all to see.
His life, his reputation, everything he had—all of it had been utterly destroyed in that moment.
Yet the Sky Screen didn't seem ready to let him off just yet.
After a brief silence, golden light swirled once more, and a new scene and narration appeared!
[After letting Feng Ling go, Yan Shaozhe fled back to Shrek.]
[He buried the secret deep in his heart, pretending nothing had happened.]
[With his outstanding talent and Mu En's favor, he rose quickly through the ranks and soon took the seat of dean of the Martial Soul Department.]
In the scene, Yan Shaozhe stood proudly in Shrek Plaza, receiving the admiration of the academy's teachers and students.
[For many years, Yan Shaozhe had kept up his facade.]
[That was until someone he thought the heavens had given him as a perfect prey appeared before him.]
As soon as the narration ended, a figure suddenly appeared on the Sky Screen!
He looked like a boy of only eleven or twelve.
He was tall and slender, with neat, short blue hair, delicate features like a figure in a painting, and fair skin that would have made countless girls jealous.
He was none other than Huo Yuhao's "good brother"—Wang Dong!
[Douluo II Period]
Shrek Plaza.
When Wang Dong appeared, Huo Yuhao, Xiao Xiao, and the others all froze.
What did this have to do with Wang Dong?
Was Yan Shaozhe interested in men, too?!
Among the crowd, Wang Dong's heart gave a sudden thump as she saw herself appear on the Sky Screen.
An overwhelming sense of unease seized her heart!
The Sky Screen's narration quickly gave them the answer.
[On Wang Dong's first day at the academy, Yan Shaozhe saw through her secret.]
The scene showed the new-student assessment.
As the dazzling butterfly wings unfolded behind Wang Dong,
a flicker of light passed through Yan Shaozhe's eyes as he watched from the viewing platform.
The Sky Screen's narration laid bare his thoughts at the time for the whole world to see.
["The Light Goddess Butterfly is a top-tier Beast Martial Soul found only in legends. It appears only in the most beautiful women."]
["Interesting—how interesting—she's disguised herself as a boy to sneak into the academy."]
[Dou Er Era]
Shrek Academy's plaza.
"W-Wang Dong is... is a girl?!"
Huo Yuhao was completely dumbfounded. He turned to stare at his "good brother," who was just as stunned, his mind utterly blank.
Wang Dong, who had shared meals and a room with him—and even slept under the same blanket—
was actually a girl?!
By now, Wang Dong's face had gone deathly pale, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably!
Her secret had just been exposed?!
But the Sky Screen's revelations weren't over yet!
[After learning that Wang Dong was a girl, Yan Shaozhe didn't expose her. Instead, he used his authority as dean to let her enroll.]
In the scene, Yan Shaozhe stood some distance away, watching Wang Dong laugh and play with Huo Yuhao with a disgusting look, as though she were his personal property.
["Such a perfect jade, a gift from the heavens..."]
["She's still too young, too green..."]
["No rush. I'll wait a few more years, until she's grown up and become more mature, more alluring..."]
["Then I'll savor her slowly. That'll make her taste all the better..."]
