The fleeting glory of the world passes in an instant.
Time grew faster and faster in the increasingly stable years, so fast that the people on the continent had gradually grown accustomed to the existence of gods.
All kinds of cutting-edge and novel theories spread wildly across the continent, and countless powerhouses emerged like spring rain. Undoubtedly, this was a rare golden age. Various hidden sects chose to emerge into the world, each with their own predictions. They all felt that the limits of humanity would no longer be the peerless Douluo, but would step into a brand-new level. Humans, no matter how insignificant, would eventually harbor the wild ambition to become gods!
The continent was still slowly moving toward unification. Then one day, the former emperor of the Spirit Empire, Bibi Dong, suddenly announced her abdication, passing the throne to her nominal daughter, the Angel God, Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue did not refuse and calmly accepted the throne. Although gods could not directly interfere in mortal affairs, the very existence of gods was itself an interference. In an era when no one else could become a god, gods themselves were an overwhelming, insurmountable hegemony.
The resistance of the Star Luo Empire carried some of the meaning of a moth flying into the flame. In just three months, the entire Star Luo Empire was crushed into the long river of time. The former White Tiger clan and the Nether Spirit Cat clan were almost completely wiped out in the war, leaving only a handful of people to maintain the two once-renowned bloodlines on the continent.
The former emperor and empress died in battle, and the Star Luo Empire's territory was officially incorporated into the Spirit Empire. Qian Renxue showed no mercy to those who resisted stubbornly. Upholding the principle that "wildfires cannot burn all, and spring winds blow again," waves of shocking massacres continuously unfolded across the continent. This even made many believers of the Angel doubt whether their Angel God had fallen into darkness.
Of course, Qian Renxue had never been a qualified Angel God. The dark Qian Renxue was one with her. Light and darkness derived a terrifying energy, and the increase in power made both of them obsessed. At some point, they had already grown accustomed to each other's existence. When they could not solve problems with their own ideals, the other Qian Renxue who opposed them became the best solution.
Light and darkness derive into chaos, and Qian Renxue's goal was this so-called origin of all things, chaos. Once she mastered this power, the Angel God position could be promoted and officially step into the God King level...
Day after day passed. On this day, an event comparable to the unification of the Spirit Empire occurred.
Above the vast and boundless sea, a noble and majestic figure slowly appeared. The woman had long blue hair the same color as the sea, with a golden trident totem imprinted on her forehead. Her long blue dress seemed to echo the entire ocean, gentle yet carrying a sense of vastness. Undoubtedly, this person was the current Sea God, Shui Bing'er.
Compared to the girl from back then, the current Shui Bing'er was no longer as youthful and instead possessed the unique charm of a young married woman. She looked dignified, gorgeous, and extremely beautiful. A single glance from her was enough to awe the myriad races of the ocean.
A blue-golden trident appeared in Shui Bing'er's hand. The Sea God's power erupted, and the entire sea seemed to boil at this moment. With her body as the boundary, the seawater below, carrying all the creatures in the ocean, began to recede into the distance at an unimaginable speed. After a long while, Shui Bing'er gently exhaled, looked up into the sky, and said softly:
"Thank you, senior. I will definitely repay this favor in the future."
Meanwhile, in the God Realm, the previous Sea God, whose face looked somewhat weary, revealed a slight smile. He gently waved his hand, and the blue light screen in front of him slowly dissipated. Looking at the God Realm enforcement team members who had broken in, he snorted disdainfully, then directly propped his legs up on the table beside him and said loudly:
"What? Has that guy Asura prepared to frame and pin the blame on me?"
"Let me tell you, no matter which God King stands behind you, if you want to execute me, you'll have to wait until the next God King who concurrently holds the positions of Asura God and God of Destiny's Ruler ascends to the God Realm. If you dare disturb me again, I don't mind directly self-destructing at the God Realm's core. Then no one gets to live!"
The members of the God Realm enforcement team looked at each other, then silently closed the doors of the Sea God Temple. They truly felt the Sea God's determination. If they pushed further, any trouble caused would fall on their heads.
They didn't want to do this job for even one more day. It was hard enough to become a god, yet in the God Realm they still had to work 9-to-9, six days a week, without even any holidays. Becoming a god... now that they thought about it, they really felt some regret...
On the other side, once the Sea God saw the enforcement team retreat again, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly withdrew the leg he had placed on the table, looked at the dome of the Sea God Temple, and murmured to himself:
"I hope my choice was not wrong. Otherwise, these damn days really won't be bearable much longer..."
...
Just as Shui Bing'er was about to lose strength, another figure arrived at extreme speed, swiftly holding back the seawater that wanted to surge back.
Behind Bai Nian, gray hair fluttered, with deathly power coiling around his body. In the next moment, a chill descended from the sky, and the surrounding seawater was instantly frozen. This was the Snow Empress taking action. Having inherited the Ice God position, the Snow Empress was like a fish in water. The two were exceptionally compatible. It was no exaggeration to say that the Snow Empress was absolutely the most suitable person for the Ice God position, even Shen Hanyu could not compare.
In the distance, a phoenix cry rang out. An ice phoenix with a wingspan exceeding a hundred meters dove down from the sky, accompanied by a gentle breeze carrying a faint fragrance.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King couple also appeared one after another, followed quickly by the Ice Emperor and the others. Working together, the gods almost instantly suppressed the ocean near Douluo Continent, turning it into land. In the next moment, an earth-shattering roar came from the distant horizon. Visibly to the naked eye, a continent of immeasurable length was being manipulated by divine power. All its earth veins were temporarily severed, and the entire continent seemed to float in mid-air before slamming down fiercely. For a moment, the whole continent trembled.
Those unaware thought it was some natural disaster and fled in all directions, while those in the know were stunned with shock and astonishment. They truly had not expected that gods could possess the ability to move mountains and fill seas, even transporting an entire continent slightly smaller than Douluo Continent from who-knows-where.
In the strait over thirty kilometers long, the unrestrained seawater surged in. Countless sea soul beasts appeared within it, among which the Demonic Soul Great White Shark group was undoubtedly the most eye-catching.
Xiao Bai transformed into her human form and stood on the sea surface, respectfully kneeling halfway toward Shui Bing'er. Shui Bing'er stepped forward to help her up, then said softly:
"Xiao Bai, the heavy responsibility of guarding this strait will be left to your Demonic Soul Great White Shark clan from now on. Anyone who dares to commit evil within this strait, whether human or soul beast, shall be killed without mercy. Additionally, I will declare to the world with the will of a god that from now on, your race will no longer face threats from humans. Of course, this is limited to the races under your jurisdiction..."
Xiao Bai nodded respectfully, then transformed back into a Demonic Soul Great White Shark over ten meters long and disappeared into the strait. The hundreds of accompanying Demonic Soul Great White Sharks also submerged into the water and vanished without a trace.
Shen Hanyu's figure suddenly appeared from the void. Transporting the entire Sun Moon Continent was not difficult for him, so he had not consumed much divine power. As the master of the Douluo plane, with the existence of the plane's embryo, such feats of moving mountains and filling seas were not hard. What he had done now was simply to advance by some years a scene that would have occurred six thousand years later.
Advancing all this was also part of Shen Hanyu's arrangements. This strait was the separation he left behind. In this surging, powerful sea soul beast-filled strait, he had left countless large and small islands in the center. These were reserved for Tian Shui Academy's new base. Yes, Tian Shui Academy was about to relocate. As the continent's number one academy, a powerful existence with several gods, Element City was clearly no longer suitable for this lofty status. Shui Ningbing had other ideas, and the sea islands were the outcome.
Shen Hanyu looked at the gathered crowd. A slight smile finally appeared on his usually cold face as he said softly:
"The earth veins on the original Douluo Continent were previously severed and still need everyone to resolve. Additionally, announce the unification of the two continents in all major cities across the continent, and officially declare the existence of the Sun Moon Empire to the continent. As for matters on the Sun Moon Empire's side, I will handle them personally. I believe Xu Yuexuan will not disappoint me. As for the sea islands, everyone can freely construct them with divine power, but the specifics will depend on Aunt Shui's wishes. Don't go too overboard..."
Everyone nodded in agreement. From beginning to end, Shen Hanyu had always been their undisputed leader. He was in the past, he was now, and he would remain indispensable in the future.
Before leaving, the Snow Empress stepped forward and whispered in Shen Hanyu's ear:
"Come back soon. Our daughter misses you terribly. If you don't return soon, she'll cry and make a fuss with me, her mother, again..."
Shen Hanyu smiled lightly and nodded, then gently responded before turning into a stream of light and disappearing from the Snow Empress's sight.
The Snow Empress smiled silently, then headed toward the original Douluo Continent. There, countless Tian Shui Academy students waiting to move to their new home were eagerly looking forward. Even with Shui Ningbing's Limit Douluo cultivation, plus more than a dozen Title Douluo-level teachers and several Super Douluo-level education committee members, they might still be overwhelmed. At this time, only the intervention of gods could prevent chaos...
...
Sun Moon Empire, Ming Capital.
In the majestic and solemn imperial palace, Xu Yuexuan, wearing a purple-gold long dress, knelt on both knees before a young man. Her expression was pious and respectful. Upon closer inspection, there was even a faint trace of seduction.
No one could have imagined that this female emperor, who had unified the entire Sun Moon Empire through powerful means and set it on the right track, would be so humble in private, willing to fall so low, showing no sense of dignity or self-respect before the man, completely reduced to a plaything.
And the young man sitting indifferently on the throne was none other than Shen Hanyu.
After a long while, Xu Yuexuan meticulously reported the situations from various regions of the Sun Moon Empire one by one, along with a brief overview of the current domestic conditions. Shen Hanyu listened quietly. When she finished, he leaned forward slightly. Xu Yuexuan immediately understood and straightened her upper body, allowing Shen Hanyu to easily pinch her fair chin.
A rich masculine scent hit her face. Xu Yuexuan couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, then gathered her courage to lean closer. The seductive charm in her eyes rippled like spring water as she said softly:
"Master, are you satisfied with all this?"
The corners of Shen Hanyu's mouth curved into a slight arc as he said casually:
"Very good. I must say, you are even more suited to be an emperor than Qian Renxue. If not for me, I'm afraid you could have unified the entire Sun Moon Continent again and restored the former glory of the Sun Moon Empire..."
Xu Yuexuan took one of Shen Hanyu's fingers into her mouth. Her moist lips carried a hint of teasing as she said somewhat unclearly:
"It was Master who made me who I am. No matter how majestic and revered I am outside, in front of you, I can show any posture and appearance you desire. Even... even if you want me to be..."
As she spoke, Xu Yuexuan gently blinked her eyes.
Now, she was no longer the Sun Moon princess from before, nor the new female emperor who needed help from others in everything. She was the Sun Moon Empress with Super Douluo cultivation, whose words could decide the life and death of millions. She was a glorious chapter in the history books of the Sun Moon Empire. Even a thousand or ten thousand years later, people would still cheer her name and offer her faith...
Shen Hanyu caressed Xu Yuexuan's red lips. Over the years, Xu Yuexuan had completely become shaped by him. He was intimately familiar with every corner of her body. It had to be said that Xu Yuexuan was truly a qualified servant and lover...
After chuckling lightly, Shen Hanyu continued:
"In the near future, the original Douluo Continent will establish the Douluo Federation. What you need to do is change the Sun Moon Empire's system into a federal system as well. You will be the first Speaker of the Sun Moon Federation."
"But you also know that both the Douluo Federation and the Sun Moon Federation are merely transitional. In the future, you will all unite together. At that time, if you can smoothly reach the god level, with your talents, continuing to lead the federation is not impossible. You know the reason, the Angel God dislikes these matters, and aside from the Ice Phoenix Douluo, the others around me aren't very interested either. Only you are naturally suited for this. I intend to cultivate you. I hope you won't disappoint me..."
Xu Yuexuan's hand had already slipped into Shen Hanyu's robe. In the next moment, she gently opened her mouth, and a familiar warm enveloping sensation appeared in Shen Hanyu's perception. Seeing Xu Yuexuan move without his permission, Shen Hanyu lightly curled his lips. In the next instant, the entire hall suddenly darkened. Mo Ying and Xie Shiyu, who were hiding in the shadows, were caught by Shen Hanyu before they could even return to their senses...
...
After a day and night of indulgence, on the luxurious and soft bed, three women of different temperaments but all peerlessly beautiful lay as if their bones had been removed, each exhausted and without a shred of strength. Traces of pleasure covered them. Ever since Shen Hanyu ascended to godhood, such scenes had happened many times. The three had gradually accepted reality. Even Mo Ying, who had initially resisted the most, had slowly immersed herself in it and finally fallen completely...
Xie Shiyu had even less to say. For the status of the Sound Sect and its future development, she felt this was nothing. Moreover, the man who favored her was the strongest person on the continent. From any angle, she was not losing out. Of course, Shen Hanyu's nearly endless stamina filled her with heartfelt fear. If he weren't somewhat restrained, she felt she would eventually die in this bed...
With a single thought, Shen Hanyu put on his robe, then gently stood up. Looking at the large expanse of spring scenery exposed outside, he chuckled lightly and said:
"Rest well. The establishment of the Sun Moon Federation still needs you to handle. There will be much more to be busy with afterward. Of course, I won't treat you poorly. After completing all this, I will give each of you a path to godhood. You will be the first batch of gods in that new era..."
The three responded weakly. Xu Yuexuan, who had borne the most firepower, lay in Mo Ying's arms, her body still trembling slightly. But upon hearing Shen Hanyu's words, an abnormal flush appeared on her face. Xie Shiyu also flashed a trace of excitement in her eyes.
This old lady has endured so much pressure with great difficulty, and now she can finally see the rewards. For a moment, Xie Shiyu's mood became somewhat dazed, but she quickly recovered and slowly closed her eyes.
Shen Hanyu removed the barrier around the hall, then pushed open the palace doors and walked out. His figure disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Xu Yuexuan and the other two looked at each other, then all lowered their heads again. Their most shameful sides had been forced to be seen countless times. They had long grown accustomed to it. The three comforted each other briefly before falling asleep together. Shen Hanyu had proven one thing: there are no cows that die of exhaustion, only fields that are plowed to ruin...
...
Star Dou Great Forest.
The major upheaval on the continent naturally awakened the many slumbering ferocious beasts. The Beast God Di Tian stood in mid-air. The space around him twisted inch by inch. His pale golden eyes gazed into the distance as he murmured to himself:
"What are they up to now? The continental situation is changing dramatically. Who knows what trouble it will cause in the future..."
As Di Tian's words fell softly, the space behind him shattered. Gu Yuena's figure slowly appeared, along with her voice:
"You've just broken through to the god level. You should focus on cultivating for a while. As for what trouble they cause, we don't need to concern ourselves. Just focus on our own matters."
Di Tian turned and bowed slightly, then said:
"Yes, Master."
Gu Yuena hummed lightly, her eyes showing some satisfaction as she looked at Di Tian.
Not only was this subordinate loyal, but he was also serious and responsible in his work, with outstanding ability. Now he had broken through to the god level despite the God Realm's suppression. He could be said to be the number one in the soul beast world besides her.
Of course, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King couple, who had already successfully transformed into dragons, were not counted among them. The two had chosen to settle on the Heavenly Ice Islands and would probably just quietly enjoy their lives from now on, no longer bothering with matters in the ocean.
Gu Yuena sensed a familiar aura coming from afar. She gently waved her hand and said:
"Go stabilize your cultivation. If anything happens, I will call for you."
Di Tian nodded and disappeared from mid-air with a flash. He had just broken through to the god level and indeed needed some time to properly stabilize his cultivation.
Not long after Di Tian disappeared, Gu Yuena suddenly felt the world spin. In the next moment, she appeared in the vast space beneath the Lake of Life.
On the large bed made of Life Gold, Gu Yuena sneered disdainfully, then looked around the space and said:
"Bringing me here, what exactly do you want to do? I told you, I can't serve you together with them. Absolutely impossible..."
Shen Hanyu appeared behind Gu Yuena. His long and powerful arms directly pulled her into his embrace. Her silver long dress was torn apart, exposing large swathes of spring scenery. Gu Yuena was left with only a thin undergarment.
Gu Yuena's face was full of shame and anger. She struggled madly, but to no avail. Shen Hanyu's power far surpassed hers. Even if she resisted with all her might, the result would only be being ruthlessly suppressed.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuena suddenly lost her strength. She looked at Shen Hanyu's face and said with a pleading tone:
"I beg you, I really can't accept sharing my man with so many women. You've already taken what you wanted and left your scent inside me. That's enough. I..."
Shen Hanyu stretched out a finger to block Gu Yuena's lips, then said softly:
"Feelings can be slowly cultivated. Over time, affection will naturally develop..."
Gu Yuena was dazed for a moment, then struggled violently again.
Although she had long anticipated this day, she still felt resistant, especially since the things Shen Hanyu had done to her the first time were simply a huge shadow for her. It was as if her Silver Dragon King's dignity had been ground into the ground. Gu Yuena truly couldn't accept such a drastic contrast for a while.
Shen Hanyu couldn't be bothered to say more. He directly kissed her red lips. Accompanied by Gu Yuena's muffled groan, sounds of suppressed pain and pleasure rang out in this isolated space, lasting for a long time...
...
After an unknown amount of time, their soul beast sovereign finally yielded.
Gu Yuena lay on Shen Hanyu's chest. Their skin pressed tightly together with almost no gap. Panting, Gu Yuena cursed in a low voice:
"You're just a beast. I actually trusted you so much before. You..."
At this point, Gu Yuena suddenly didn't know what else to say.
Shen Hanyu didn't mind. Although Gu Yuena had never truly yielded mentally and was still putting up futile resistance, her body had long fallen. Simply put, with a light pat from Shen Hanyu, Gu Yuena would automatically move into the position he wanted...
Cough... Caressing the warm and soft body of the beauty in his arms, Shen Hanyu's hand suddenly stiffened.
In that instant just now, he seemed to sense a special aura within Gu Yuena's body. That aura was incredibly faint, but it made his heart thump heavily.
Gu Yuena was startled by Shen Hanyu's sudden change. She fiercely bit his chest, then said:
"Don't overthink anymore, or... I'll bite you to death—"
Shen Hanyu's expression gradually returned to normal. He nodded gently, pinched Gu Yuena's chin, and planted a kiss. The action was gentler than ever before.
"For a very long time, I won't touch you again. Just focus on cultivating, rest well every day, and finally, take good care of our child..."
When Gu Yuena heard the first half of Shen Hanyu's sentence, a flash of joy appeared on her face. But after he finished the entire sentence, she fell into a daze uncontrollably.
Her spiritual power turned inward. Sure enough, she discovered a faint life aura within her body.
This life aura was so weak it was barely there. Judging by the time, it had been born no more than a week ago. Because of her recent restlessness, she hadn't noticed it. Only after Shen Hanyu's reminder did she suddenly become aware.
Child... her and Shen Hanyu's child. She was going to become a mother. These words spun wildly in her mind. Gu Yuena felt her consciousness grow hazy, as if she could no longer distinguish reality from illusion. She was at a complete loss.
After a long while, Gu Yuena gently stroked her soft abdomen in Shen Hanyu's arms. Her eyes were complex, and her emotions were extremely complicated. Yet within this complex mood, she felt the presence of joy and excitement, as well as... a heavy sense of responsibility...
Gu Yuena looked up at Shen Hanyu. After a long silence, she said:
"This is my child. It has nothing to do with you. In the future, he/she will inherit the throne of the soul beast clan, not exist as a human."
Shen Hanyu frowned slightly, then chuckled lightly.
"This is our child. You must remember this clearly. And you are my woman. This fact cannot be changed even if you achieve the Dragon God position right now."
Gu Yuena remained silent. After a long time, she gently pushed Shen Hanyu away and said softly:
"Let me have some quiet time alone. Don't worry, I won't harm the child. I'm not that ruthless. This is my flesh and blood. Even if the sky falls, I will give birth to him/her. As for the matter between you and me, I'm sorry, but there's still a hurdle in my heart that I can't cross. You need to give me some time..."
Shen Hanyu looked at the peerlessly beautiful woman with her silver hair scattered, then nodded gently.
He stepped forward and gently hugged Gu Yuena, kissing her lips with unprecedented gentleness for the first time. Gu Yuena let out a soft whimper but did not resist. After the deep kiss ended, a visible silver thread hung between their lips. Gu Yuena's breathing quickened slightly. She lowered her head and said softly:
"You should go first. Let me stay by myself for a while."
Shen Hanyu nodded gently. With a flash, his figure disappeared from the space.
Long after Shen Hanyu left, Gu Yuena finally raised her head. Her previously empty eyes seemed to have gained some color. She sighed softly, stroked her soft abdomen, and murmured to herself:
"Baby, tell me, perhaps Mommy should make some changes..."
"But your father is such a playboy. Mommy always feels a bit wronged and unwilling..."
On this day, Gu Yuena talked to herself for a long time. Only at the very end did she truly feel relieved. As if a heavy burden had been lifted, she collapsed onto the large bed behind her, looked at the sparkling silver light spots above, and fell into a deep sleep...
...
Element City.
After Tian Shui Academy moved out as a whole, Element City did not become deserted because of it.
The reason was simple. Due to the unique system of the Spirit Empire and its emphasis on Element City, nearly forty percent of the continent's large families and sect forces had gathered here. It was a true mega-city. Tian Shui Academy's relocation may have had some impact on Element City's power and prosperity, but it was actually kept within a certain range. After all, the original campus of Tian Shui Academy was still here. Shui Ningbing used her ingenuity and decided to turn this place into a backup campus. The newly built island area simply couldn't accommodate the more than thirty thousand people, including all service staff. In the future, newly enrolled students would complete their elementary soul master academy studies here. Only after reaching the appropriate age and meeting the cultivation requirements would they be brought to the main campus.
Of course, geniuses always received preferential treatment. If they ranked at the top or performed exceptionally in the assessments held every three months, the possibility of leaving the original campus early would be greatly increased. All of this was to promote the students' enthusiasm for cultivation. After all, survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle were the tenets of Douluo Continent. Kindness and mercy could not save everyone.
Shen Hanyu landed in front of the small courtyard gate. Before he could even push the door open himself, a petite figure eagerly opened the door and threw herself into his arms.
"Daddy, you're finally back. I missed you so much..."
Looking at the little girl in his arms with the same purple-black long hair as his own youth and wearing a princess dress, the coldness on Shen Hanyu's face melted completely into a smile. He squatted down and picked up the little girl. She giggled nonstop, then planted several kisses on Shen Hanyu's face.
"Daddy smells like other mommies. I don't like it..."
The little girl twisted in Shen Hanyu's arms, then quietly leaned close to his ear and whispered.
Shen Hanyu was stunned for a moment, then his aura stagnated. All the scents belonging to Gu Yuena disappeared completely. Looking at the little girl whose eyes were full of laughter, he gently kissed her forehead and said:
"Did Xue'er cultivate well today? And you didn't make Mommy angry, right?"
Shen Lianxue, one of Shen Hanyu and the Snow Empress's daughters, was the younger of the two sisters. She had just turned six this year and had awakened her martial soul less than a month ago. Yet the talent she displayed even surpassed the former Shen Hanyu.
Unlike Shen Hanyu who obtained twin martial souls later in life, Shen Lianxue was born with twin martial souls. Her twin martial souls were the Cold Heaven Spear inherited from Shen Hanyu and the Ice Heaven Snow Woman inherited from the Snow Empress. Because both her parents were gods, her martial soul origins were naturally imbued with rich and complete divinity. Therefore, both of her martial souls were genuine god-level martial souls, and her innate soul power naturally reached level twenty.
As the little princess who enjoyed almost all the pampering of the Shen family, any random powerhouse accompanying this little girl daily would not be below the Title Douluo realm. The resources she enjoyed were unimaginable to ordinary people.
From her first soul ring onward, this little girl had begun absorbing god-bestowed soul rings. The soul rings she obtained were the most suitable in both age and attributes. This resulted in her two soul rings both being deep ink-black. Her Great Soul Master power was enough to crush Soul Ancestor experts. Coupled with the little girl's lawless and cunning personality, aside from Shen Hanyu, she dared to defy almost anyone. Of course, this "anyone" also included the Snow Empress.
At the same time, in Shen Lianxue's eyes, there were only three kinds of people in the world: one was Shen Hanyu, one was family, and the rest were others.
Shen Hanyu didn't know how to address this matter and simply let his daughter do as she liked.
Shen Hanyu carried Shen Lianxue inside. What met his eyes was a room full of beautiful women. Anyone who didn't know better would think he had fallen into a den of beauties. Shen Hanyu's gaze remained calm. He had seen this scene many times over the years and had long grown accustomed to it.
Noticing Shen Hanyu's arrival, Gu Qingbo and Xue Wu, who were wearing matching ice-silk nightdresses, quickly tried to cover their long white legs. The others also shifted from their casual states to slightly more serious ones, though only slightly.
Shui Bing'er walked out of the kitchen carrying a tray. Behind her, Ye Lingling and the Snow Empress were quietly discussing something. At some point, many of them had started learning to cook out of boredom. Every time Shen Hanyu returned before, he would always find the house in a mess, with even burn marks on the walls.
But they were all gods with nearly endless time. The more they practiced cooking, the better they naturally became. If that wasn't enough, they still had Shui Bing'er as their teacher. They would eventually improve with practice...
Everyone gathered for dinner together. The atmosphere was exceptionally warm and lively. Shen Lianxue stayed sitting in Shen Hanyu's arms the whole time, waiting for him to feed her. The Snow Empress looked at her daughter and sighed silently. She was still so young, yet her mind was already so heavy. It was hard to say whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
But she was her own daughter after all. Although the Snow Empress sometimes felt annoyed, she had never said much. Toward Shen Lianxue, she was generally indulgent, only scolding her occasionally when truly angry.
After dinner, Gu Qingbo and the other guests went home one after another. Their courtyards were right next door, no more than fifty meters away. The relationship between Shui Bing'er and her sisters grew even better. Shen Hanyu naturally approved.
After finally coaxing Shen Lianxue to sleep, Shen Hanyu had no time to rest before being pulled into the room by the Snow Empress with a wronged look on her face...
Looking at the three beauties, each with their own charm, Shen Hanyu felt he had been indulging a bit too much lately. But with the arrow on the string, he had no choice but to display his prowess again. After all, ever since they had Shen Lianxue, Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling had been eager to have a child of their own with Shen Hanyu.
...
After finally finishing, Shen Hanyu held the Snow Empress as they leaned against the headboard. Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling were whispering to each other on the side. Shen Hanyu's thoughts sank slightly as he asked:
"Where's Nianyu? She's been traveling with Mengchu for so long. I haven't seen her for quite a while."
The Snow Empress pouted and said softly:
"Don't you know the personalities of your two daughters? Lianxue is a little demoness, while Nianyu is a complete little ice block. If I remember correctly, she should be traveling with Mengchu in the former island area right now."
Shen Nianyu, the older of the two sisters by five minutes. Unlike her younger sister who inherited the signature martial souls from Shen Hanyu and the Snow Empress, her martial soul was influenced by the dragon bloodline within Shen Hanyu and ultimately became a True Dragon martial soul comparable to a Dragon King-level existence of the dragon clan.
Under normal circumstances, a Dragon King-level existence could not appear as a martial soul in a human. But Shen Hanyu and the Snow Empress's daughter could not be judged by common sense. Everything made sense.
However, after fully inheriting and fusing the Dragon King bloodline, this little girl had also inherited the Snow Empress's former cold and arrogant personality. It could be said that Shen Nianyu was exactly like the Snow Empress as a child, a little queen at a young age.
What was more troublesome was that the relationship between the two sisters was not very harmonious. Simply put, the arrogant and cold older sister could not possibly like the demoness idiot younger sister...
After several failed attempts at mediation, the Snow Empress stopped bothering. Although the two didn't like each other, the sisterly bond truly existed. They just didn't say it out loud. That was enough. There was no need for anything else.
After a moment of silence, Shen Hanyu suddenly said:
"If nothing unexpected happens, our life in the mortal world is about to come to a brief end. Although it's still far from a hundred years, I think it's better to completely resolve these matters in advance. That way, everyone can truly feel at ease, and everything I've prepared can proceed."
The Snow Empress and the other two were silent for a while, then nodded one after another.
Over the years, Shen Hanyu had never truly settled down. He had been preparing for that matter almost every moment. The Snow Empress and the others understood that Shen Hanyu carried a heavy burden, but he never disdained letting them share the pressure, especially after they had Shen Nianyu and Shen Lianxue...
Shen Hanyu chuckled lightly and said:
"Don't think too much. Everything will go smoothly. Sometimes overthinking is your greatest source of pressure."
The three looked at each other and smiled, then said nothing more. The starry night sky unfolded, and everything slowly fell quiet again...
...
On a leisurely afternoon, Shen Hanyu met two old acquaintances.
These two were naturally the former Poison Douluo Dugu Bo and You Mengchu's grandfather, You Yanshan.
Perhaps because their soul power had made significant breakthroughs in recent years, both of them were constantly recovering. Their appearances had returned to how they looked in their twenties or thirties. It had to be said that both were quite handsome in their youth, with similar dashing looks. Dugu Bo being reverse-pushed had a lot to do with this handsome face.
Perhaps because of the slight changes in appearance, their temperaments had also become younger. They no longer spent their days drinking tea, staring blankly, or being lost in thought. Instead, they had developed the desire to travel the entire continent. And so, the two had teamed up again?
The few of them chatted, all sighing about how fast time flew and the dramatic changes in reality. Dugu Bo even bluntly said that everything felt like a dream, which earned him a round of mockery from You Yanshan...
Shen Hanyu sipped his tea, occasionally interjecting a few words. It was relaxed and casual.
The three sat until dusk, when Dugu Bo and You Yanshan finally left one after another. Shen Hanyu sat alone, watching the blood-red sunset in the distance. Soon after, a fragrant and soft little wronged girl appeared in his arms again.
