Mingdu, Sun and Moon Empire Imperial Palace.
The imperial palace, under the cover of night, was still brightly lit. In the quiet imperial palace rear garden, several figures were seated around a round stone table, and the atmosphere felt somewhat strange.
Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er were clearly among them. The other three were Ye Guyi, Juzi, and Ning Tian. Juzi and Ning Tian were holding Xu Xiyan and Xu Ningqing in their arms.
To be safe, before heading to the Star Sea Continent to kill the Demon Emperor, Xu Zihuang had notified Kong Deming to bring Ning Tian and her daughter Ningqing to the Sun and Moon Empire Imperial Palace.
And after he revealed his true identity, Yu Ningqing's surname had naturally also been changed.
Xu Xiyan was only a little over one year old, and Xu Ningqing was only a little over two years old. At this moment, they were sleeping soundly in their respective mothers' arms.
Juzi lowered her head, extending one jade-like hand to gently stroke Xu Xiyan's tender cheek. From beginning to end, she appeared very calm, with only a gentle expression on her face. Because she had never thought of monopolizing Xu Zihuang. She was already very satisfied with the current situation.
Wang Qiu'er's performance was similar to Juzi's. In the world of soul beasts, if you like someone, you must possess them dominantly. With her personality, she wouldn't care about these things at all. What she wanted was simply for Xu Zihuang to stay by her side forever.
Sitting opposite Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er was Ye Guyi, who had only recently ended her closed-door cultivation. Although soul resonance was far from being as powerful as yin-yang complementarity, the special nature of the twin soul cores had still caused a certain inexplicable sublimation in her temperament.
A head of soft, smooth golden long hair draped over her fragrant shoulders. She quietly gazed at the Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er before her, the corners of her mouth curving into a playful arc.
Several years had passed, and Ye Guyi had matured quite a bit. She was no longer as willful and impulsive as before. Now, she more often viewed things from the perspective of Xu Zihuang's 'older sister.'
The one with the most complicated feelings was Ning Tian. Having learned everything from Xu Zihuang's mouth, she still hadn't fully recovered, her moist water-blue eyes filled with a daze.
Xu Zihuang apologetically took Ning Tian's hand. After all, Ning Tian had accompanied him the longest. It was precisely because of this that he had decided to gather everyone together today and confess everything.
'Tianhuang'. Ning Tian's pupils focused, and a faint smile appeared on his delicate face. She was even more used to addressing Xu Zihuang like this.
Taking a deep breath, Ning Tian reversed her grip and interlocked her ten fingers with Xu Zihuang's. The smile on her face became even more relaxed. Although she didn't say anything, her actions clearly showed her attitude.
"Zihuang, then you should properly comfort Ning Tian today."
Ye Guyi took the sleeping Ningqing from Ning Tian's arms and said with a smile to Ning Tian: "Of course, we can also comfort you together."
As soon as these words were spoken, both Ning Tian and Juzi's pretty faces flushed slightly, their cheeks burning. Although their backgrounds were different, they were both rather reserved and implicit when it came to matters in that regard. What Ye Guyi mentioned clashed greatly with the concepts they had formed in the past.
Wang Qiu'er, who had been silent, suddenly grabbed Xu Zihuang's other wrist. Her usually cold pink-blue eyes clearly showed a few traces of an unusual gleam.
Xu Zihuang looked at Wang Qiu'er beside him with a stunned expression, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly as he said with embarrassment:
"You can't."
"Our soul beast bodies are different from you humans; there's no issue." Wang Qiu'er replied calmly, then continued with some confusion: "Don't you like it?"
From Xu Zihuang's memories, she knew that almost no man disliked that. Even Xu Zihuang himself was no exception.
Ever since Wang Qiu'er's soul had returned, she hadn't had many opportunities to get close to Xu Zihuang. She did not need to hide her own needs. Moreover, Xu Zihuang had slaughtered the entire Clear Sky School for her, allowing her to regain a new life, which moved her deeply. She hoped to make Xu Zihuang happy.
Such matters held no sense of embarrassment for Wang Qiu'er.
Ning Tian had originally thought Wang Qiu'er had ulterior motives, but seeing the frankness and purity in her eyes, she quickly dismissed the idea. And her next sentence caught Xu Zihuang completely off guard.
"Qiu'er, let's talk together." Ning Tian stared straight at Wang Qiu'er.
Wang Qiu'er's gaze didn't dodge in the slightest. She nodded calmly and naturally.
"Okay."
Seeing that there was no expected tension between Wang Qiu'er and Ning Tian, Xu Zihuang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then silently followed behind the two women.
He roughly knew what Ning Tian was thinking. Wang Qiu'er had joined the group the latest. Back then, Ning Tian had even felt jealous because of Wang Qiu'er. Later, Wang Qiu'er had also gone with them as members of the Shrek Battle Team to Mingdu to participate in the Continental Youth Soul Master Elite Competition.
Presumably, Ning Tian's feelings toward Wang Qiu'er were the most complicated.
The figures of Xu Zihuang, Wang Qiu'er, and Ning Tian gradually disappeared from Ye Guyi and Juzi's sight. The night had grown deep, and time quietly passed.
About half an hour later, Ye Guyi instructed the palace maids to take Ningqing back to the sleeping quarters to rest, then slowly followed with a smile in her eyes.
Although she had tried her best to restrain her possessive desire toward Xu Zihuang, it didn't mean she would relinquish her dominant position among everyone. Taking this opportunity, she wanted to establish her authority in front of Wang Qiu'er and Ning Tian.
In the end, only Juzi remained in the rear garden. She lowered her head, and the two patches of alluring blush on her cheeks became even more charming. Her pair of jade-like legs pressed together as she hugged Xu Xiyan in her arms even tighter.
The silver moon in the clear night sky hid behind the clouds, as if too shy to show itself.
...
It wasn't just Xu Zihuang's life in the Sun and Moon Empire Imperial Palace that was harmonious and peaceful. The entire Douluo Continent was the same. But beneath this peace, undercurrents were surging.
The original three empires of the Douluo Continent, including Shrek Academy and the Body Sect, were all making preparations and mobilizations for the final battle three months later.
The upper echelons of the original Douluo Continent had not seen the terrifying strength Xu Zihuang displayed when he slaughtered the entire Clear Sky School, nor did they know that Xu Zihuang had already broken through to the Limit Douluo realm. In their view, gathering the top combat forces of the original Douluo Continent might not be enough to win, but it should at least be able to stall Xu Zihuang and Kong Deming for some time.
The remaining armies and soul master legions would then have a chance to fight desperately against the Sun and Moon Empire's armies and soul mentor corps.
No matter what, the original Douluo Continent could not surrender without a fight. This was the persistence of the original Douluo Continent.
For this final battle, the Heavenly Soul, Dou Ling, and Star Luo Empires had all made their greatest efforts. Under a collapsed nest, no egg remains intact. At such a moment, no one would hold back.
Xu Zihuang also frequently summoned civil and military officials in the palace halls of the Sun and Moon Empire Imperial Palace to discuss important matters.
In the blink of an eye, the three-month deadline had arrived.
