Hui Ye's Secret

"Don't we have Senior Elder Yi here?" the Ice Empress said matter-of-factly.

"Teacher's godhood hasn't recovered yet. Dealing with a small fry like you is no problem.

But dealing with Di Tian and the others would be a bit of a struggle," Hui Ye said.

The corner of the Ice Empress's mouth twitched. I've actually become a small fry?

Before gods, all things were ants.

The Ice Empress flew into a rage and stayed angry for a moment.

Hui Ye said, "Ice Empress, do you think Di Tian is the only top powerhouse in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

"Isn't he?" the Ice Empress asked, puzzled.

"Have you ever heard the legend of the Dragon God's fall in the Divine Realm?"

"This..."

The Ice Empress hesitated, then shook her head. "The Snow Empress has lived longer than I have. She might know some ancient secrets."

"After the Dragon God fell, he split himself into the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King. The Silver Dragon King is hiding in the deepest part of the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest.

You want to fight your way through Di Tian and the rest?

Go wash up and sleep."

The Ice Empress was one utterly bewildered scorpion. She couldn't understand a word of what Hui Ye was saying.

But she knew she'd heard an extraordinary secret.

I'm the mighty Ice Empress, and I've lived for hundreds of thousands of years. How can I know less than a kid?

"Out with it. How do you know these secrets?"

It wasn't just the Ice Empress. Electrolux was also astonished. How had Hui Ye learned something so secret?

"I'm telling you these things today so you'll be prepared. We'll inevitably have to deal with them in the future."

Hui Ye gathered his thoughts, looking completely unconcerned.

"Actually, there's nothing much to hide. I come from another world."

The Ice Empress didn't understand. "What do you mean?"

Electrolux's gaze grew profound.

So his disciple, whom he'd picked up by chance, was an outsider just like him.

Hui Ye said, "Exactly what I said. I come from another world."

This was earth-shattering gossip, and the Ice Empress was intrigued. "What did you have in your era?"

Hui Ye thought for a moment.

"Take the Soul Tools in this world, for example.

Technology was more advanced where I came from, but the directions we put points into our skill tree were somewhat different.

For instance, we had artificial intelligence brains, but there aren't any here.

And our weapons were different from the ones here, too.

Of course, we had neither Martial Souls nor magic. Almost everyone was an ordinary person.

Maybe some special people had supernatural powers, but that was never confirmed. Or maybe my level was too low for me to learn the truth."

Electrolux said in surprise, "Could your original world have been in the Age of Dharma Decline?"

"You could say that." Hui Ye nodded.

"Is that how you learned about the Douluo Continent, in your world?" the Ice Empress asked.

"That's right."

Hui Ye didn't deny it, but he still kept one thing hidden: the Douluo Continent was only a fictional world in a novel.

Telling them would only cause the Ice Empress and Electrolux needless trouble.

At this point, the Ice Empress and Electrolux both fell silent. The two of them tactfully refrained from digging any deeper.

He had already revealed so many secrets to them, which was generous enough. Digging any deeper would be rude.

The Ice Empress didn't know how she felt at that moment.

"You just told us your secret like that, without holding anything back?"

Hui Ye asked, "Ice Empress, what would you do if I died?"

The Ice Empress fell silent.

Hui Ye asked again, "Teacher, what would you gain if I died?"

Electrolux smiled without a word.

"Besides, there isn't much to my world, and it's in the Age of Dharma Decline. Even if you wanted to go there, what would be the point?"

Hui Ye spread his hands. His frankness left them speechless.

For people with powerful strength like the Ice Empress and Electrolux, only a fool would covet a world in the Age of Dharma Decline.

"All right, little one, it's rare for you to trust us so much..."

Electrolux slowly recounted his past experiences.

The Ice Empress was stunned. This big shot was from another world too—not a person, but a god.

So that means I'm the only "native" among the three of us?

For the first time, she felt insignificant. It seemed she was the only one with no secrets to share.

Of the three of them, two had shared their secrets without reservation, leaving the third unable to sit or stand at ease.

It seemed that if she didn't reveal some secret of her own, she wouldn't be able to hold her head up around them again.

But what big secret do I even have?

The Ice Empress was so anxious her head seemed to swell. "I..."

Hui Ye waved a hand. "All right, you don't have to say it. I know you like the Snow Empress. You're a lesbian."

"..."

The Ice Empress admitted she'd been completely rattled. She turned away with a dark face, crawled back into the ice house, and went off to be emo by herself.

Electrolux easily kept a straight face.

Hui Ye released his Wolffy Martial Soul. His third Soul Ring was still pale gray on the outside and empty on the inside. It needed to be filled with Soul Ring energy before it could be activated.

He sensed what the Soul Ring required. His third Soul Skill, Wonderful Transition, needed a fifty-thousand-year spatial Soul Ring.

Hui Ye rubbed his chin.

Spatial?

Could the key to breaking the deadlock really be my third Soul Skill?

If Wonderful Transition can break through spatial confinement, then I'll be invincible in the truest sense.

Who on the entire Douluo Continent could kill me?

Hui Ye imagined the future, his heart burning with excitement.

"Sister Bingbing!"

The Ice Empress gave no response.

"Sister Bingbing, are there any fifty-thousand-year spatial Soul Beasts in the Far North?

How about we talk one into sacrificing itself to me?"

Hui Ye said with a grin.

"No."

The Ice Empress's tone was cold. Clearly, she still hadn't recovered from her earlier mood.

"Don't be so stingy. If there aren't any at fifty thousand years, a few younger ones will do. I'm not picky."

The Ice Empress sighed. "There really aren't any. The Soul Beasts in the Far North are all ice-attribute. There are almost no spatial ones."

"Forget it. I'll have to go running around outside again."

Hui Ye sighed. Even though he had Infinite Stamina, his heart was tired!

"I do know where there's a spatial Soul Beast," the Ice Empress suddenly said.

"Sister Bingbing~" Hui Ye drawled.

"Ew, that's disgusting. Don't call me that." The Ice Empress looked thoroughly disgusted.

"A thousand years ago, the Snow Empress and I went out on our honeymoon... for a walk, and ran into a seventy-thousand-year Void Beast in the Sunset Forest.

Can you believe it? It actually dared to flirt with the Snow Empress!"

"What do you know?"

The Ice Empress snorted.

"I'd already found the traces of that bastard's presence, but for some reason, they suddenly disappeared.

The Snow Empress said it seemed some mysterious power had concealed the creature's presence.

No matter how we searched, we couldn't find it.

In the end, the matter was simply dropped."

"No way. Could it be such a coincidence?" Hui Ye exclaimed, as though he'd thought of something.

The Ice Empress's neck stiffened slightly. "You don't happen to know why, do you?"

Recalling what had happened, the Ice Empress ground her teeth in anger, and the ponytail behind her head stood on end.

"By the time I came to my senses, that bastard had already fled into the void.

It's been so many years. I don't even know if it's dead yet."

Hui Ye's mouth fell open. "What? A mere seventy-thousand-year Soul Beast dared to flirt with the Snow Empress?

You two are mighty super Soul Beasts. You still couldn't catch it?"
