Ye Xishui Was Just Selfish! Protecting the Two Dragons Was an Excuse!

As it turned out, Comrade Ye Xishui chose the most hardcore option: she had a child with Zhongli Old Ghost, and gave birth to Zhongli Wu.

So you did all that just to become a Limit Douluo, huh?

Quit using "protecting them" as an excuse. You just wanted to freeload off Zhongli Old Ghost's power and get stronger.

If you really wanted to protect them, Mu En had always been under Shrek's protection, and he was perfectly fine.

And Long Xiaoyao—if you wanted to protect him, why not just send him to Shrek?

Or you could have joined forces with Shrek and wiped out the Holy Spirit Cult. Then Long Xiaoyao and Mu En would never have been hurt again.

You could have truly protected them both, but you just had to do the opposite, twisting things around to strengthen the Holy Spirit Cult and yourself.

What you say doesn't matter. What matters is what you do.

Someone like you shouldn't use Long Xiaoyao and Mu En as an excuse, okay?

In the end, Ye Xishui became the Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Elder, while Long Xiaoyao, overcome with guilt, ran off to become her devoted lapdog.

Long Xiaoyao, Long Xiaoyao, what on earth did you have to feel guilty about?

You slept with Ye Xishui, and you felt guilty?

Then why weren't you guilty toward Mu En for cheating on him? Why did you still stand against Shrek?

You were selfish too, Long Xiaoyao. What are you pretending for?

After that, they just followed the main storyline all the way to the ending.

Only when she was close to death did Ye Xishui finally say, "The one I love most is Long Xiaoyao. I wronged Mu En."

What were you doing all that time?

You had countless chances to tell the truth, but you refused.

You had countless chances to run away, but you refused.

You had countless chances to let all three of you live happily, but you had to choose the most brain-dead option.

With brains like yours, you're not even as smart as Bibi Dong!

At least Bibi Dong had some ability. Even if her methods were ruthless, her logic at least barely held together.

What about you?

From beginning to end, you were just a tool being pushed along. You claimed to love one and fear for another, but everything you actually did was the exact opposite.

Calling you stupid would be an insult to stupid people. At least stupid people can do some manual labor. Your brain is nothing but decoration.

And you still get to be a villain?

I don't think you could even manage to be a tool. You're nothing but a plot device, the kind they use and throw away.

This love triangle wasn't a romance plot so much as a brain-cell test written by a screenwriter whose head had been kicked by a donkey.

As soon as this segment appeared, it left almost everyone stunned.

Good grief, Bibi Dong had already been stupid enough, but now here came an even more bizarre case: Ye Xishui.

Her name sounded impressive, but her brain was really something else.

In an instant, many characters started voicing their complaints.

[God of Evil of Douluo I]: "Seriously, do you villains never use your brains?"

[God of Evil of Douluo I]: "I've seen plenty of planes, and someone this stupid really is a rare find."

[God of Evil of Douluo I]: "I'm tempted to dig out your brains and keep them as specimens, just for future research into human intelligence."

[Goddess of Goodness of Douluo I]: "Evil, tone it down."

[Ning Rongrong of Douluo I]: "What's there to tone down? This great deity isn't wrong!"

[Ning Rongrong of Douluo I]: "Ye Xishui kept saying she wanted to protect Long Xiaoyao and Mu En, but she wouldn't take any of the many sensible ways to solve the problem."

[Ning Rongrong of Douluo I]: "Isn't that just making excuses because she's stupid or selfish?"

[Huo Yuhao of Douluo II]: "She's both stupid and evil. What did my teacher ever do to them? Why did they have to toy with him like that?"

[Wang Dong of Douluo II]: "Yeah. Elder Mu was such a kind person. I can't believe they toyed with him until he..."

[Mu En of Douluo II]: "That's enough, Wang Dong, Yuhao. You don't have to say anything. This has nothing to do with you."

[Yun Ming of Douluo III]: "Even in our era, Senior Mu En's name has been recorded."

"As Yuhao's teacher, Senior Mu En's contributions will always be remembered by Shrek."

"I just never expected Senior Mu En to have this sort of past."

[Mu En of Douluo II]: "Oh? Are you from Shrek in the future?"

[Yun Ming of Douluo III]: "Yes, Elder Mu. I can't reveal what happens in the future, but please believe me: with the protection of contributors like you, Shrek Academy has always thrived!"

[Mu En of Douluo II]: "That's enough... That's... enough..."

[Long Xiaoyao of Douluo II]: "Mu En, I... I'm sorry..."

[Mu En of Douluo II]: "There's no need to say anything. I have no wish to discuss what happened back then."

[Flender of Douluo I]: "I never expected the Shrek Academy I founded to still exist in the future."

"A Limit Douluo, and a Limit Douluo in my future Shrek Academy too. I'm quite satisfied."

[Tang San of Douluo I]: "Our Shrek Academy is that amazing? No wonder Teacher kept telling me to study there."

[Yu Xiaogang of Douluo I]: "Of course, Xiao San. Who do you think your teacher is? Did you think I was the kind of useless person the Light Screen described earlier?"

"In theory and teaching, I truly deserve the title of Grandmaster!"

[Tang San of Douluo I]: "Teacher, you're amazing!"

[Yan Shaozhe of Douluo II]: "I just wonder where Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao's child went."

"And it's such a coincidence that Ye Xishui, like me, has a Bright Phoenix Martial Soul."

The comment section was indeed filled with one voice after another.

Many people watched the Light Screen and found themselves drawn into the conversation.

But the ones most affected by the revelation of Ye Xishui's past were still the three people in that love triangle.

For them, the truth being revealed was no less than their entire worldview and all their beliefs crumbling in an instant...

Douluo Era 2.

At the Holy Spirit Cult.

As Long Xiaoyao watched scene after scene from the past unfold on the Light Screen, bitterness welled up in his throat.

He let out a long sigh. The sound echoed through the empty hall like the final wail of a dying beast.

He slowly turned and looked at Ye Xishui again.

He had looked at this face for decades.

Beauty, pride, fragility, resilience—he had seen every complicated emotion on that face.

But now, as he looked at her again, all he felt was that she was a stranger.

Shock.

Disappointment.

Pain.

Regret.

Tenderness.

Five emotions were like five knives, stabbing into his heart all at once, twisting there until even breathing became difficult.

So the guilt he had carried for half his life had all been for nothing.

So when he thought he had hurt Mu En, when he believed he had cuckolded his best friend, every last bit of it had been part of a scheme.

A scheme by the woman standing right before him.
