Arrived at Heaven Dou City, Tang Ya Didn't Blacken?

"Is everything ready?" Dai Huabin walked to Zhu Lu's side and gently hugged her from behind.

"Mmm." Zhu Lu leaned against him and nodded. "Your change of clothes and Ling Xi's snacks are all packed."

"You've worked hard." Dai Huabin kissed her on the cheek.

Zhu Lu's face flushed instantly.

Although I've gotten used to Dai Huabin's intimacy, I still feel shy every time.

"When are we leaving?" Di Lingxi asked vaguely.

"First thing tomorrow morning." Dai Huabin ruffled her blonde hair.

Upon hearing that she could go out to play soon, Di Lingxi cheered happily.

Looking at these women with such different styles, yet all of whom would be traveling with him, Dai Huabin felt a strange sensation.

With them by my side, the road ahead doesn't seem so lonely anymore.

The next morning.

As dawn broke, a spacious and comfortable carriage was already quietly waiting outside the south gate of the Shrek Academy.

Dai Huabin and his group of five left the college quietly.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, their departure didn't attract too much attention.

The carriage slowly started moving and drove away from the city where they had lived for more than a year.

Inside the train carriage.

The space is large enough for five people to stay comfortably.

Zhu Lu leaned on Dai Huabin's shoulder and closed her eyes to rest.

The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress sat on either side, still with their usual aloof demeanor.

The most restless one was Di Lingxi.

She would occasionally peek through the curtains to look at the scenery outside, and then rummage through her pile of snacks.

"I'm so bored." She sighed. "Huabin, where should we go? Is there anything good to eat?"

"Yes." Dai Huabin smiled. "Our first stop Heaven Dou City. It has the most famous snack street on the entire continent."

Upon hearing "snack street," Di Lingxi's eyes lit up instantly.

She could almost see countless delicious foods beckoning to her.

Her words livened up the otherwise dull atmosphere in the carriage considerably.

Ice Empress glanced at her, a barely perceptible smile playing on their lips.

"Promising."

Snow Empress shook her head helplessly and continued reading her book.

The carriage traveled smoothly along the official road.

Dai Huabin lifted a corner of the curtain and looked at the scenery rushing past outside the window.

Leaving Shrek is just the first step.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect...

His future is full of challenges, but also full of opportunities.

He closed his eyes and began to organize his plans in his mind.

This time, he is determined to seize all opportunities.

Several days later.

The carriage slowly drove into a magnificent city.

Heaven Dou City.

As the capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire, this city is far more prosperous than Star Luo City.

The wide streets were bustling with traffic and people, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares filled the air.

Di Lingxi could no longer contain herself; she pressed her face against the window, her golden eyes filled with curiosity and excitement.

Wow! It's so lively!

Dai Huabin paid the fare and got out of the car with the four women.

He booked one of the best hotels in town, planning to settle in and rest for the night before exploring the city properly the next day.

However, just as they were crossing a bustling street and heading to the hotel, Dai Huabin suddenly stopped in his tracks.

His body froze on the spot, his face showing an unprecedented expression of shock.

Because at a nearby intersection, he saw two familiar figures, and an even more familiar sign.

It was a simple stall with a white cloth stretched across it, on which two large characters were written crookedly in ink.

Tang Sect.

Behind the stall, enthusiastically introducing something to passersby, who else could it be but Tang Ya and Bei Bei?

Dai Huabin stood there, his mind blank for a moment.

Tang Sect?

Tang Ya? Bei Bei?

Why would they be hiring here?

According to the plot he was familiar with, at this point, Tang Ya's sect should have been wiped out by the Iron-Blood Sect, and she herself should have gradually embarked on the path of Evil Soul Master amidst immense hatred and pain.

But the scene before him was completely different from the story he remembered.

Behind the stall, Tang Ya, though dressed simply, had a hopeful smile on her face. Her eyes were bright and spirited, without the slightest trace of the shadow of hatred.

Beside her, Bei Bei, as gentle and refined as ever, was patiently answering a passerby's question. Although there was a hint of fatigue in her eyes, there was more of a sense of contentment and peace of mind.

The two stood together, looking down on their luck, yet exuding a warm and loving atmosphere of mutual support.

What exactly happened?

A tremendous storm raged in Dai Huabin's heart.

Could it be that my appearance triggered some unknown butterfly effect, causing the entire story to deviate from its intended direction?

"Huabin, what's wrong?"

Zhu Lu noticed his unusual behavior and asked softly.

"It's nothing." Dai Huabin quickly composed himself and shook his head.

Whatever happened, it didn't seem to be a bad thing for him.

Tang Ya didn't turn evil, and Bei Bei no longer has to endure that pain, which is ultimately a good thing.

Just as he was pondering this, Bei Bei, who was at the other end of the stall, also noticed him.

"Dai Huabin?" Bei Bei called out uncertainly.

When he realized it really was Dai Huabin, a look of surprise and delight appeared on his face.

"It really is you! What brings you to Heaven Dou City?"

Tang Ya, who was beside him, also looked over and was equally happy to see Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu.

"Huabin, Lulu!"

She waved to them enthusiastically.

Dai Huabin led Zhu Lu and the other three over.

Di Lingxi's eyes curiously examined the sign that read "Tang Sect," and she whispered to Dai Huabin:

"What is the Tang Sect? Is it a candy seller?"

Dai Huabin was both amused and exasperated, and could only try to appease the little foodie.

"Senior Bei Bei, Senior Tang Ya," Dai Huabin greeted the two of them. "What brings you here...?"

His gaze fell on the simple signboard.

"As you can see, we are recruiting disciples for the Tang Sect." Bei Bei smiled, a hint of helplessness in her smile, but more so, determination.

Tang Ya also interjected, "Aren't you surprised? A lot has happened since we left the academy."

Dai Huabin nodded, making it clear that he was all ears.

He really wanted to know what had happened in between.

Tang Ya seemed to sense his curiosity and briefly explained the whole story.

It turned out that Tang Ya had planned to take revenge after they left the academy.

But before they could even set off, Mu En worried that something might happen to Bei Bei, so he arranged for someone to go with them.

Then, with the help of the academy's teachers, the Iron-Blood Sect was wiped out. Because it was Shrek Academy that did it, coupled with the connection between the Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, and because this was originally a matter of revenge, the Heavenly Soul Empire did not interfere in the matter.

Upon hearing this, Dai Huabin nodded slightly.

Shrek Academy intervened directly.

That makes sense.

Bei Bei is the direct descendant of Mu En, and Tang Ya is the partner Bei Bei has chosen. Logically and emotionally, Mu En would not stand idly by.
