After dealing with all the troubles of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Shen Hanyu clapped his hands, then swept his gaze around once before leaving without looking back, taking a few people with him as they disappeared from the spacious True Dragon Hall. Inside the hall, on the ground, dozens of people led by Yu Yuan Zhen remained in a state of unconsciousness. Even while unconscious, their brows were tightly furrowed, clearly indicating that the memory erasure from earlier had some effect on them.
With the spiritual power of Shen Hanyu and Gu Yuena, performing such a task was extremely easy. At the very least, it could be said to be both fast and steady, without causing any obvious damage to these dozens of people. At most, after being unconscious for a few hours, they would wake up feeling dazed and confused for a while before returning to normal. However, they would never imagine that they had lost a segment of memory sufficient to expose the truth...
Upon entering Heaven Dou City, the group of five inexplicably felt as if they had been separated from the world for a lifetime.
Gu Yuena looked around with great interest, left and right, not at all like the previous lofty and majestic co-ruler of soul beasts. Instead, she inexplicably resembled the clear and foolish university student from her previous life, with an aura emanating a strange feeling of "I'm easy to deceive, come and trick me"...
Bi Ji and Zi Ji acted as maids, following not far behind Gu Yuena and attending to her. They were truly performing their own duties without a single word of complaint.
Snow Empress held Shen Hanyu's hand and walked not far behind the three, listening seriously to everything Shen Hanyu said. The expression in her eyes shifted, mixed with a trace of shock. After a long while, she said softly:
"God-level physical body..."
"I didn't expect that your previous actions were actually you refining the remains of the ancient Dragon King. Forget it, this is fine too. It saved you a lot of trouble. With the strength of your current physical body, I'm afraid even a Super Douluo going all out wouldn't be able to cause effective harm to you..."
"As for the dragon body... that she..."
Shen Hanyu chuckled lightly, then said slowly:
"No need to worry about the suppression issue. Gu Yuena's accidental actions prompted the fusion of multiple bloodlines within my body. Although it's still slightly inferior to hers, there is no possibility of being suppressed. On the contrary, her action caused her to recover an unknown amount of her strength, only to fall into a disadvantage again in front of me. It really feels like stealing a chicken only to lose the rice..."
Snow Empress smiled, the arc at the corner of her lips incredibly bright and beautiful, causing Shen Hanyu's heart to flutter for a moment. It took him a while to come back to his senses before he said:
"Never mind, we've been away for a few days. I wonder how things are on Aunt Shui's side and with the few girls..."
Snow Empress let out a light hum, then raised a mischievous smile and said:
"Have you forgotten what you once promised Bing'er? Later, see how you explain it..."
Shen Hanyu's smile stiffened. Thinking of Shui Bing'er's appearance when angry, which had nothing to do with her usual calm and steady demeanor and her domineering manner, he sighed helplessly. No matter how much of a genius he was on the path of cultivation, when facing the few girls and his family, even if he suffered a loss, he could only swallow it himself. There was simply no possibility of refuting or defending himself...
...
The arrogance and temper of a young girl were always difficult to deal with.
Not to mention that the other party was a quasi-love-brain with a full contrast degree. Shen Hanyu felt both pain and joy about this.
Snow Empress merely smiled slightly at this and did not get involved. After all, no matter how many confidantes Shen Hanyu had, she was the true, rightful wife and the unparalleled eldest sister. Even if Gu Yuena and Shen Hanyu ended up together later, in the end, Gu Yuena would still have to lower her head and call her "sister." This matter left no room for discussion for either Shen Hanyu or Snow Empress...
After finally comforting Shui Bing'er and satisfying the girl's several somewhat unreasonable requests, Shen Hanyu walked out of the room helplessly, covered in a scent of fragrance.
In the living room, Shui Ning Bing, wearing pajamas, leaned against the windowsill, looking at a document. Noticing Shen Hanyu, she smiled slightly, then raised her hand to deliver a letter to Shen Hanyu.
"Have a look. It's a letter from Meng Chu."
Shen Hanyu was somewhat surprised, then quickly opened the envelope and read through it.
"Hehe..."
"Her speed is quite fast. She has already arrived at the extreme south now. At their current pace, if everything goes smoothly, they should be able to return to Elemental City next month..."
Hearing Shen Hanyu's answer, Shui Ning Bing rolled her eyes, then continued:
"Meng Chu has already planned the return route. Afterward, they will pass through the territory of the Star Luo Empire, then cross the imperial border into the Heaven Dou Empire. Although the distance is a bit farther, the road is much easier to travel. It's just that..."
Shui Ning Bing hesitated a bit, organized her words, and then said softly:
"On the road that Meng Chu planned, the Star Luo Empire has deployed heavy troops, with a total force of at least seventy thousand. The commander-in-chief of the army is Yao Hong, the first great general of the Star Luo Empire, known as the Soldier Demon. His martial soul is the top-tier martial soul, the Tyrant Tiger Blade. Together with the Heaven Dou Empire's commander-in-chief, Ge Long, they are known as the twin stars of the current empires. His strength is said to be extremely close to Title Douluo level, and this person is very domineering in his conduct, always the type who would rather act than reason..."
"Moreover, the Star Luo Empire's two heavy armored corps are also stationed in the border areas between the two empires, no more than fifty li away from that road... While the Heaven Dou Empire has also stationed more than fifty thousand heavy troops nearby. According to the fleeing refugees, the armies of the two empires have already erupted in quite a few conflicts there. Innocent civilians have suffered countless casualties. That area has completely become a living hell..."
After speaking, Shui Ning Bing observed Shen Hanyu's expression, only to find that the other party showed no extra change in expression. He merely asked with a calm face:
"Have the two empires issued a clear notice that that section of the road is not allowed to pass?"
Shui Ning Bing was stunned, then shook her head.
"They haven't. Even the armies were secretly mobilized. Many generals don't even know where they are being sent, let alone ordinary citizens. They are probably still kept in the dark..."
Shen Hanyu nodded gently, a trace of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, and said:
"Then that's it. We have no conflict of interest or even contradiction with them, and the two empires have concealed the facts. No matter what, we are the ones in the right..."
"If they allow You Meng Chu and the others to pass safely, we will naturally live in peace. But if they take the initiative to cause trouble, even an army of over a hundred thousand, no matter how powerful, would not be enough for me to slaughter..."
Shui Ning Bing rolled her eyes, pursed her lips, and then said:
"You make it sound easy, but don't underestimate the armies of the two empires. Although their number of soul masters is not comparable to the Spirit Hall, their research in military formations and other aspects has reached the pinnacle. Even specific members among them, after using martial soul fusion techniques, have power that approaches the Title Douluo level. Moreover, with so many people, even if they just wear them down, they could probably exhaust an ordinary Title Douluo to death..."
Shen Hanyu neither agreed nor disagreed, merely saying:
"Meng Chu and Old You are not ordinary Title Douluo. Forget it, there's no point in saying these things now. If there's a problem at that time, I'll just make a trip..."
Shui Ning Bing looked at Shen Hanyu's face, which had slowly become more and more mature over the years, with a light smile. A wave of emotion inexplicably rose in her heart...
"Time really flies. Back then, you were still a cold and aloof youth. Now, you have truly stood at the very top of the entire continent. My vision was indeed good. Perhaps it won't be long before I can openly say that I am the aunt of a true deity..."
The night wind blew past, gently stirring the hair of the two. Shen Hanyu was momentarily dazed, as if many past events flashed through his mind in an instant. The memories of the past kept flickering in his mind, and the corner of Shen Hanyu's mouth unconsciously curved into a slight arc.
Shui Ning Bing stretched, her graceful body curves fully visible. She brushed the hair at her temples, then said seriously:
"There's actually one more thing recently that I think you'll be interested in..."
"Hmm?"
"Not long ago, wasn't that Shrek Academy defeated by Canghui Academy? Although they were lucky and no personnel casualties occurred, it's said that several people's souls suffered considerable damage, severely affecting their own strength, and the aftereffects are quite serious. To cope with the upcoming matches, they've been searching everywhere for medical treatment and medicine recently. Finally, they somehow heard that Elder Ye has come to Heaven Dou City and wants to invite Elder Ye to treat their students..."
Shui Ning Bing said with a smile at the corner of her mouth.
After listening to Shui Ning Bing's words, Shen Hanyu's gaze became somewhat strange.
"What about Elder Ye? Did he help?"
Shui Ning Bing shook her head and continued:
"He didn't. I just told Elder Ye some things, and he immediately changed his mind, ignoring those people's requests to meet. Recently, for the sake of peace, he has temporarily moved to Senior Dugu's residence..."
Shen Hanyu chuckled lightly, his tone somewhat casual:
"Elder Ye sees things clearly. But this is good too. At least his attitude is very clear, and we don't need to worry about it..."
Shui Ning Bing nodded, gently shaking the wine glass in her hand, causing the wine inside to swirl, but she never drank it.
"All the opportunities for Lingling girl and her clan to break the curse rest on you. Even if Elder Ye wants to help, he would pretend to be indifferent. But none of that matters anymore. On the other hand, I actually quite like that Lingling girl. If possible, she would be quite a good match for you..."
Shen Hanyu choked, his gaze sweeping behind him. After confirming that Snow Empress and Shui Bing'er were not there, he said somewhat speechlessly:
"Aunt Shui, is Bing'er really your biological niece..."
Shui Ning Bing was stunned, then sighed lightly and said:
"Of course, she is biological. I've always treated the two of them as my own daughters, which is exactly why I've been trying to bring you two together..."
Shen Hanyu waved his hand helplessly and said:
"Let's not talk about this for now. Because of this matter, it has already caused me quite a bit of trouble before. We can talk about it later when there's a chance..."
Shui Ning Bing tactfully did not say anything more. After chatting with Shen Hanyu for a few more sentences, she yawned, then got up and returned to her room to rest.
Shen Hanyu stood alone on the balcony, gazing at the bright moonlight, his mood exceptionally calm, until a soft warmth pressed against him from behind. Only then did he come back to his senses...
Tonight was another sleepless night...
...
The next day.
Dugu Yan held Ye Lingling's arm as they walked into the hotel lobby, then, under the guidance of a maidservant on the side, followed her into a spacious and bright private room.
Inside the private room, Shen Hanyu and Snow Empress were already seated. On the other side were Gu Yuena and the other three, with no other outsiders.
Seeing the two, Shen Hanyu pointed to the sofa on the side, indicating for them to sit down, and then said:
"These three are my friends, all peak experts in various fields on the continent. I'll introduce them to you properly later. For now, we still have other matters to resolve..."
Ye Lingling nervously pursed her lips, her hand gripping her skirt, turning somewhat pale.
Dugu Yan did not say much either. She could sense the terror emanating from the three peerless women opposite them, especially the silver-haired woman sitting in the middle. Just a single, insignificant glance from her was enough to make her heart tremble with fear.
Shen Hanyu's gaze turned toward Gu Yuena, then he said softly:
"I've already told you the general situation, but it's still more reliable for you to inspect it personally. You definitely have more experience in this aspect than I do..."
Gu Yuena nodded, then raised her eyes to look at Ye Lingling and said softly:
"Little girl, come here..."
Ye Lingling stood up nervously and obediently walked over to Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena did not say much. She simply extended one hand and pointed it at the position between Ye Lingling's eyebrows. Seven-colored light bloomed, and then Gu Yuena gently lowered her hand. Her gaze turned toward Shen Hanyu as she said softly:
"Your guess is correct. This little girl's martial soul inherently carries rich life energy, which has neutralized most of the damage and negative energy brought by the curse. However, this curse has been passed down for too long, and its foundation in the body is very solid..."
"Although the Evil God is only a second-level deity, he has always been famous for strength and cunning that surpass the limits of his own divine position. Perfectly removing it is very difficult, but it's not impossible..."
Upon hearing this, a ray of hopeful light bloomed in Ye Lingling's eyes as she looked at Gu Yuena with some anticipation.
Gu Yuena paused for a moment, then continued:
"Based on the limit that this little girl's body can withstand, I can currently only find two feasible methods..."
"The first is the one you mentioned earlier: directly purifying the soul and removing the curse from the soul and even the martial soul..."
"But side effects may also appear, such as a lowered upper limit of cultivation, weakened martial soul effects, declined talent, and so on..."
"The second method has a much higher degree of safety compared to the first, though the process might be somewhat..."
As she spoke, Gu Yuena glanced somewhat helplessly at Shen Hanyu.
Shen Hanyu's eyelids twitched inexplicably, then he said:
"Specifically, how?"
Gu Yuena's gaze shifted between Ye Lingling and Shen Hanyu, then she said word by word:
"I cannot directly use light attribute to remove the curse in her body, because doing so would undoubtedly provoke it to resist, and the consequences can be imagined..."
"But if you and she undergo soul fusion, shielding her from the curse's backlash, then I will have enough time and confidence to clear all the curses..."
