After listening to Dugu Bo's series of "heaven-defying" remarks, Shen Hanyu chose to respond with silence.
Sometimes not speaking doesn't mean you don't like it; it really means you just don't know what to say.
You Mengchu, who was watching from the side, saw Shen Hanyu being rendered speechless and covered her mouth laughing happily.
The Demon Empress was eating candied hawthorn in small bites, a smile also appearing at the corners of her mouth.
Although this young man had violently beaten her husband not long ago, she actually felt that this was a good thing.
The true age of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was only a little over three hundred thousand years old, yet his cultivation was infinitely close to a true million-year level. The huge gap between age and cultivation was filled with the lives of countless soul beasts in the ocean. His terrifyingly powerful cultivation and domineering, ferocious personality made the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King have countless enemies in the sea. Even races that had no grudge against him were extremely hostile toward the Deep Sea Demonic Whale species.
The status of Deep Sea Demonic Whales in the ocean was like the status of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger in the Star Dou Great Forest; all soul beasts wanted to eliminate them.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King himself didn't care, but the Demon Empress, who had been with him for countless long years, knew very clearly:
Once something happened to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, everything she and Lan Fozi would face would be incredibly terrifying.
The upper limit of hatred is endless. Hatred caused by a small matter can even rise to the level of threatening life as time passes.
Snow Empress and an excited Lan Fozi walked in the very front. Along the way, Lan Fozi curiously asked Snow Empress all kinds of questions, and Snow Empress was very patient, answering seriously whenever she knew the answer.
The outstanding appearance of the group quickly attracted many malicious gazes.
On the third-floor open terrace of a teahouse beside the street, a fat man dressed in luxurious clothes was staring at the group passing below with lecherous eyes.
Several servants dressed as attendants standing beside him immediately showed lewd smiles when they saw this and said:
"Young Master Willis, do you want this little one to go invite those few people up for a cup of tea to quench their thirst…"
The man called Willis revealed a cruel smile, reached out and touched the crotch of the servant beside him while saying:
"Good boy, go. This young master is in a good mood today. If you satisfy me, there will be a huge reward."
A flash of disgust appeared in the servant's eyes, but on the surface, he pretended to respectfully retreat and chased after Shen Hanyu's group.
While Willis smacked his lips, he then reached his devilish claws toward another servant beside him…
…
On the other side, Shen Hanyu's group was still strolling around carefree.
As a prosperous city close to the ocean, Hanhai City was extremely different from inland cities, whether in terms of goods on the market or regional culture. Some goods came from islands near the Douluo Continent, and some came from the inland. The year-round prosperous commodity trading also caused the culture here to become very diverse, giving a special sense of difference that couldn't be felt in other places on the continent.
You Mengchu was very interested and wandered between the various stalls, occasionally asking about prices, then using her silver tongue to bargain with the stall owners, completely without the demeanor of a Titled Douluo.
Shen Hanyu held his forehead. After You Mengchu successfully bargained for a commemorative spiral-patterned necklace, he asked somewhat curiously:
"You don't have any gold soul coins?"
You Mengchu, very honestly nodded and said:
"The currency commonly used on the island domain side is not unified with the mainland, so very few merchants are willing to do business in the island domain. Even if there are some, they won't accept the island's domain currency. Instead, they use all kinds of rare medicinal herbs and soul beasts as currency. And we also don't receive mainland currency very often…"
Shen Hanyu found it somewhat funny. He took out two storage cards worth one hundred thousand gold soul coins each from his storage-type soul guide device and handed them to You Mengchu, saying:
"Here, twenty hundred thousand gold soul coins for you. Consider it your living expenses while you're on the mainland."
You Mengchu looked at the two shiny golden cards in Shen Hanyu's hand, immediately took them without hesitation, then snorted and said:
"At least you're sensible and know how to treat your great-aunt well. Coming all this way with you this time counts as my hard work fee."
Shen Hanyu smiled without speaking and quickly caught up with Snow Empress and Lan Fozi's footsteps.
Dugu Bo also slowly walked up from behind, glanced at the two golden cards in You Mengchu's hand, and sighed emotionally:
"That kid's family also does medicinal herb business. It's said that in the past two years their business has grown bigger and bigger, and they even started cooperating with Tianshui Academy. Calling them one of the top hidden wealthy families in the far north wouldn't be an exaggeration."
You Mengchu nodded, then suddenly said, somewhat embarrassedly:
"Poison Elder, I was a bit too much before…"
Dugu Bo's expression stiffened for a moment, seemingly remembering some unpleasant past events. After being silent for a while, he shook his head and said:
"Sigh… I'm old, my skill is inferior to others, and there's nothing to say. If only my granddaughter could be as outstanding as you, then her parents in heaven could rest in peace…"
You Mengchu comforted him:
"Your granddaughter's talent is also very good. Becoming a Titled Douluo is just a matter of time. You really don't need to worry like this."
Dugu Bo let out a low sigh, looking at the backs of Shen Hanyu and the others walking into the distance, and said:
"If this were still the original continent, I might have felt infinite joy because of this. I would have felt that I didn't let down my son and daughter-in-law in heaven, that I successfully raised Yanzi to become an outstanding person. But with the appearance of all of you, the future pattern of the continent will definitely be completely changed. Being born in this kind of era is both an honor… and at the same time, how could it not also be a kind of sorrow…"
"Shen Hanyu, that kid looks glamorous on the surface, but the burden he is actually carrying is extremely heavy. Once he shows the slightest slack, it will directly crush him. He tries to use his own methods to dominate the era, but at the same time, the era is also trying to dominate him. This old man can see it; he is very tired, very exhausted, but he doesn't dare to stop for too long. His personality also determines that he will never be willing to stay forever in any corner because of anyone or anything…"
Dugu Bo's words analyzed everything very thoroughly and hit every key point. There was almost nothing left that could be concealed.
You Mengchu opened her mouth slightly, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
She had heard about Shen Hanyu's deeds from childhood to now from Shen Liuyu and the others, and had once fantasized about becoming the protagonist herself. But later she helplessly discovered that no matter how hard she tried, she could never walk the same path Shen Hanyu had walked. For ordinary people, that road was almost a complete dead end.
Yet Shen Hanyu had walked out of it step by step without stopping.
If You Mengchu had to evaluate him, Shen Hanyu was like a rational but foolish madman, someone people could never fully understand.
…
Near evening.
The setting sun was like poetry and painting, dyeing the sky a golden color, gently sprinkling on the vast sea surface. The sea breeze blew gently, and the waves slowly rolled, as if whispering the secrets of dusk to people.
Under the caress of the sea breeze, the waves gently lapped against the coastline, producing bursts of pleasant sounds. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on Shen Hanyu and Snow Empress's faces, turning their eyelashes golden, like an extremely romantic fairy tale.
Lan Fozi pulled You Mengchu and the Demon Empress to play on the nearby beach. At first, she was still a bit afraid and shy in front of everyone, but after spending some time together, she gradually became bolder and returned to her lively self.
Dugu Bo sat on a beach chair in the distance, quietly sipping hot tea while appreciating the scenery. If you gave him a pair of swimming trunks, Shen Hanyu felt that this year's elderly fashion aesthetic circle would experience another huge shock.
Snow Empress slowly sat down on the golden beach. The sand had been baked by the high temperature all day and still carried residual warmth, so sitting on it didn't feel cold at all.
Seeing Shen Hanyu standing to the side, Snow Empress was a little dissatisfied and pulled his hand, softly saying:
"Sit down."
Shen Hanyu smiled helplessly and sat down. The next moment, Snow Empress's two long, beautiful legs were placed directly on his lap.
Even through the fabric, Shen Hanyu could feel the warm and soft sensation. After glancing around and seeing that no one was looking, he gently lifted a corner, slipped his hand inside, and softly kneaded, feeling the moist and smooth touch. Shen Hanyu couldn't help but feel his heart race.
A blush appeared on Snow Empress's face, but she didn't stop Shen Hanyu's "mischief" on her legs. Instead, she looked straight at his face and softly said:
"Shen Hanyu…"
"Hm?"
Shen Hanyu smiled and looked at Snow Empress, his hand still moving, completely addicted to this cool, smooth feeling.
"Kiss me…"
Snow Empress said in a low voice.
"Huh?"
Shen Hanyu somewhat suspected whether he had heard correctly.
"I said — kiss me!"
There was a hint of charm and shyness in Snow Empress's tone. The contrast with her normally cold temperament made Shen Hanyu dazed for a moment.
Looking at the charming and moving Snow Empress in front of him, Shen Hanyu directly leaned forward and sealed her red lips. Between their touching lips and tongues, Snow Empress's eyes suddenly froze, then she felt the softest part hidden deepest inside her being teased and wantonly played with…
In an instant, a thin layer of mist slowly rose in Snow Empress's eyes. The ocean and sky became the eternal backdrop at this moment…
…
Unlike the romance between Shen Hanyu and Snow Empress, and the joyfulness of You Mengchu's group of three, Dugu Bo had just put down his teacup when his brows suddenly furrowed. He turned around and looked in one direction with some surprise.
The five people on the beach below almost reacted at the same time and stopped what they were doing simultaneously.
Snow Empress's face still carried a trace of blush. She slowly broke free from Shen Hanyu's embrace, her eyes filled with icy killing intent.
Disturbing her enjoying skinship time, simply unforgivable!
The Demon Empress's expression also didn't look good, slowly turning gloomy.
Lan Fozi held You Mengchu's hand, also looking quite unhappy.
Dugu Bo put his hands behind his back and slowly stood up. After letting out a helpless sigh, his figure instantly disappeared from the spot. Less than thirty seconds later, more than a dozen figures were directly thrown down from mid-air by Dugu Bo, heavily crashing onto the beach.
The leader was precisely the servant from the teahouse. The remaining dozen or so people were basically all soul masters, ranging from Great Soul Master to Soul Elder.
"Whose dog are you? Speak the truth, don't waste my time. I'll leave you a complete corpse…"
Shen Hanyu said indifferently, then directly stepped on and broke one of the servant's arms.
"AAAAHHH—"
After the servant let out an extremely miserable scream, he frantically roared:
"Do you know who this young master is?! This young master's boss is the biological son of the master of the Hanhai City Spirit Hall branch! How dare you treat this young master like this! Later this young master will definitely…"
Crack—
Shen Hanyu directly kicked the head off this guy.
Looking at the fearful expressions in the eyes of the soul masters who came with him, Shen Hanyu was somewhat speechless and pinched his brow.
This plot… he was extremely familiar with it. Basically, every transmigrator had to encounter it several times.
He had no interest in wasting words with this kind of person. If he had the time to talk nonsense, he could have gone and exterminated their whole family. There was absolutely no need to waste breath.
Then Shen Hanyu casually swung out several streams of cold energy. The living people on the ground, together with the corpses, were instantly turned into shattered ice and thrown far into the sea.
Shen Hanyu looked at the group, who were clearly disturbed and unhappy, raised his eyebrows, and said:
"Who wants to go do a good deed and eliminate evil?"
No one stepped forward.
Shen Hanyu felt a little helpless, shrugged his shoulders, and said:
"Then I'll go by myself. Wait for me a bit. I forgot to keep anyone alive to ask for directions just now, so I have to go directly to the Spirit Hall branch."
Just when Shen Hanyu was about to turn and leave, a small voice came from behind:
"Brother, can I go?"
Shen Hanyu turned around and saw that it was Lan Fozi, who was standing between the Demon Empress and You Mengchu.
Lan Fozi first looked at the Demon Empress's expression. The latter's face was normal as she smiled and said:
"If you want to go play, then go play. It doesn't matter."
Lan Fozi turned her head to look at Shen Hanyu, expectation in her eyes.
Shen Hanyu nodded indifferently and said:
"The master of the Spirit Hall branch here is most likely only at the Soul Saint level. There's no problem if you want to go take a look. Let's go."
A sweet smile appeared on Lan Fozi's face as she said happily:
"Thank you, brother."
…
Early next morning.
A storm of blood and gore erupted in Hanhai City.
The Hanhai City Spirit Hall branch suffered a large-scale cleansing.
Thirty-seven people, including the branch master, were killed, and the methods were extremely cruel. Especially that fat man, his death was particularly miserable.
But the people in Hanhai City were all cheering, and no one felt it was a pity. The reason… most people understood without needing to think deeply.
Although Spirit Hall was powerful and outwardly inclined toward common people, unfortunately, the corruption inside had already deeply penetrated the lifeblood of Spirit Hall like poisonous fangs. Unless someone stepped forward to clean it with thunderous methods, this situation was almost impossible to completely eradicate.
At this moment, Shen Hanyu was curled up inside Snow Empress's blanket, greedily reluctant to leave the warm feeling of Snow Empress's body and unwilling to get up.
After a whole night of intense battle, not only were the two not mentally tired, but their complexions had actually become even better.
When spiritual power and cultivation reach their current level, not resting for a long time actually doesn't have much negative effect. At most, they would occasionally feel a little tired…
Most people who have reached this level would agree…
