And now, he was telling her this.
Yuanen Fengyu had never abandoned her and her mother. On the contrary, he had always protected her mother's reputation.
Her mother had been the one at fault all along.
Even... even she was the bastard child.
"Waaah..." Tang Yuge sobbed as she pushed Yuanen Fengyu away and ran out.
She had to find her mother and confirm it.
"Yuge! Yuge!" Yuanen Fengyu shouted as he tried to chase after her, but Yun Liao stopped him.
"It wouldn't be appropriate for you to go."
"I'll go."
Yuanen Fengyu looked deeply guilty. "I'm sorry. I've kept this from you all this time."
Yun Liao shook her head.
"I'll go after Yuge. Take good care of Huihui."
Di Tian silently watched the situation unfold.
If not for Yuanen Huihui, he truly had no particular desire to expose this festering wound.
It was indeed a melodramatic love triangle, but there was nothing especially unusual about it on the Douluo Continent.
Love triangles were a classic trope.
The Douluo Continent could not be without love triangles, just like...
At that moment.
Yuanen Fengyu looked in the direction Yun Liao and Tang Yuge had left for a while before finally turning back.
"Senior Beast God."
"This junior has thought it through."
"Huihui has suffered these past years. Let's follow Yun Liao's wishes and turn her into a girl. In the future, she can inherit the throne of the elf race."
"I'll handle the family."
"Later, I'll live with the two of them on Elf Planet."
Yuanen Fengyu had previously been unwilling to let Huihui become a girl, not only because of Tang Yuge, but also because once Yuanen Huihui became a girl, with her talent, she would have to inherit the Elf Queen's throne in the future and remain on Elf Planet.
The Yuanen Family was not particularly willing to accept that.
Now, because he was in the wrong, Yuanen Fengyu compromised.
Seeing that they had reached an agreement, Di Tian nodded and turned to Yuanen Huihui.
"Huihui."
"In a moment, enter the Lake of Life."
"Once your mind is calm, use your Soul Power to stimulate the elf bloodline within your body and choose to transform into a female body."
"During the process."
"I will grant you another boon."
Yuanen Huihui nodded obediently.
"Okay."
"Senior."
In truth, the innocent girl had not understood the melodramatic love triangle from earlier at all.
Mom, Yun Liao, had gone after Sister Tang Yuge. There should not be any problems.
Thus, with a calm mind, she stepped into the edge of the Lake of Life.
"Begin."
At Di Tian's command, Yuanen Huihui began circulating her Soul Power.
It flowed through her limbs and bones, surging through her extraordinary meridians and eight channels.
It was not overly difficult.
It was nighttime, and Yuanen Huihui's body was already inherently feminine.
The final step of completely transforming into a female merely involved rapid development. It would not cause any more drastic changes.
She grew noticeably taller, and her figure became more graceful.
Her pink hair cascaded down, and beneath the strands over her forehead, her left eye was violet while her right eye was pink.
A charm and aura like that of a natural elf burst forth.
But at that moment.
Yuanen Huihui, who had already completed her chosen gender transformation, suddenly furrowed her brows deeply, her delicate little face scrunching together.
A pained expression covered her face.
"Huihui!" Yuanen Fengyu cried out in alarm and rushed toward the Lake of Life.
But halfway there, his vision suddenly blurred.
Yun Lan stood in his way.
"Huihui is fine."
"Look carefully." Her voice trembled with excitement. "It's a second evolution of her martial soul!"
"Huihui's Elf King bloodline has completely awakened!"
Yuanen Fengyu came to his senses as well.
That was indeed correct.
The Elf King bloodline was awakening, and her martial soul was evolving along with it. Yuanen Huihui's pained expression was a necessary part of the process.
Seeing that his daughter was unharmed, Yuanen Fengyu, greatly relieved, immediately turned and gave Di Tian a deep bow.
"Thank you, Senior."
"Huihui possessed the foundation necessary for a second evolution of her martial soul. By Huihui's generation, Er Ming's bloodline was certainly weaker than the Elf King bloodline."
"Nor did her manifested martial soul possess a Titan Giant Ape."
"The Elf King bloodline is extremely pure."
"I merely applied some external stimulation and gave Huihui a push."
The force Di Tian spoke of was naturally the Dragon God Egg soaking at the bottom of the Lake of Life, guarded by a top-tier divine artifact, the Seven-Character Battle Armor, and a Super-God Level Mecha.
"It should be ending soon."
"Let's go take a closer look."
As they approached the lakeshore, an elven aura burst forth from Yuanen Huihui's body.
Her martial soul underwent its second evolution.
The "Purple Star Spirit Bow" evolved into the "Elf King Bow," identical to Yun Lan's divine artifact.
At the same time, a heavenly eye opened between her brows.
Within it, rings of illusory colors spun continuously, emanating an uncanny power that shook the soul.
"The Reincarnation Eye!" Yun Lan's eyes lit up with joy.
It was one of the Elf King clan's greatest abilities, capable of trapping others in a spiritual cycle of reincarnation.
To awaken it at such a young age showed just how extraordinary Yuanen Huihui's talent was.
Combined with the tremendous talents of humanity and a pure heart, she already possessed the makings of a god.
Together with the elves' long lifespan, Yuanen Huihui was absolutely the best candidate to inherit the throne of the Elf King in the future.
Even elves who had not become gods possessed lifespans of a thousand years. Once they broke through to godhood, their lives would only become even longer.
"It truly is an exceptional talent." Di Tian gave the same highest appraisal.
Even before awakening her Elf King bloodline ahead of time, Yuanen Huihui had been able to break through to the fifth rank before the age of twelve. Now that it had awakened early, her achievements would only rise higher.
Before graduating from the academy at eighteen, reaching the ninth rank was practically guaranteed.
After watching Yuanen Huihui for a while, Di Tian noticed her clothes.
He said to Yun Lan beside him, "Huihui dresses too plainly."
"Before, because of Huihui's physical gender defect, we didn't want her to dress too conspicuously."
After hearing Yun Lan's explanation, Di Tian said directly, "Now she can."
"Get rid of Huihui's plain white shirt and replace it with some high-end custom clothes from the human world."
"People respect clothing before they respect the person."
"Especially young people who cannot control their temperament and wear both good and evil openly on their faces."
"Dressing better will help Huihui overcome her inferiority complex at the academy."
"Alright."
After a night of busyness, the next day, the rising sun cast its first rays into the Soul Beast Forest.
Splat—
A Soul Guidance sedan started its mechanical core, drove out of the Soul Beast Forest, and headed toward the Elf Branch Academy.
Inside the Soul Guidance sedan.
Aside from Zi Ji, who was driving, the three little ones sat side by side in the back seat.
Yuanen Huihui was on the left, Bi Ji on the right.
Di Tian sat in the middle.
Having not left the elven territory for a long time, Yuanen Huihui felt deeply uneasy. He clung to Di Tian's arm at all times, seeking a sense of security.
Bi Ji, meanwhile, looked at Di Tian with concern.
"You've had a stiff face since early this morning. Didn't sleep well?"
"No. Meditating for two hours keeps me from feeling mentally tired."
"Do you remember what I said yesterday? That feeling of something being wrong all over."
"Now, it's getting stronger and stronger."
Hearing Di Tian say that, Bi Ji began to ponder as well.
"We're going to the Elf Academy."
"It can't be that the Mistress has regained her memories and wants to cause you trouble, right?"
"Probably not." Di Tian shook his head with a frown.
Gu Yuena would not regain her memories now. Even if some vague fragments of memory flashed through her mind, she should stay far away from him.
She might even decide, "You take your broad road, and I'll cross my single-plank bridge."
The fact that Gu Yuena had not hurriedly appeared to look for him throughout yesterday was the best proof.
However.
At that very moment.
As the Soul Guidance sedan drove across an overpass and the view opened up, Di Tian saw a graceful silver figure standing at the entrance of the Elf Branch Academy through the windshield.
Di Tian's vision suddenly went dark.
His head felt just the tiniest bit dizzy.
