Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 68 The Way to Death, the Legendary King of Endurance

Seeing that Shu Yan had not responded yet, Xue Sheng spoke softly again:
"You don't have to feel any psychological burden. The Sea God originally left it behind to wait for the destined person."

"I have a feeling that the destined person that Sea God is waiting for is you!"

Shu Yan remained silent.

He didn't believe in the idea of ​​a destined person at all. In his opinion, it was more like a way to death...

After thinking for a moment, Shu Yan said carefully:

"Uncle, since the Sea God gave this artifact as a gift to the former Tiandou royal family to be passed down from generation to generation, then this artifact itself represents the Sea God's earnest hope for the future of the empire. The significance it carries is too special and significant. I truly feel unworthy of receiving it..."

Xue Sheng sighed softly again, as if recalling some past events, and then spoke:

"The meaning of carrying... This reminds me of something else. There was once a rumor among the Tiandou Imperial Family that a trace of the Sea God's divine consciousness remained within the Vast Sea Universe Shade, and this has indeed been confirmed."

"That was during the invasion of the Sun-Moon Empire. The Douling Emperor at that time personally used the method passed down by our ancestors to inject his spiritual power into the Vast Sea Universe Shade, awakening the remaining divine consciousness of Lord Poseidon. It was under the guidance of Lord Poseidon's divine consciousness that our three empires chose to unite and hand over their armies and powerful men to the command of the then-current Shrek Academy president. In the end, we defeated the Sun-Moon Empire and forced them to cede territory and pay compensation."

"But right after that, Lord Poseidon's divine consciousness seemed to have completely vanished, never to reappear. Later, more than one Seagod Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy petitioned the Empire to observe the Vast Sea Universe Cover up close. In the end, they all came to the unanimous conclusion that the remaining trace of Lord Poseidon's divine consciousness had dissipated or departed on its own..."

"The current Vast Sea Universe Cover is just a very high-grade soul guide."

"In the eyes of many people, the reason why Lord Poseidon left behind that divine thought is entirely because he has a long-term vision and anticipated the invasion from the Sun-Moon Empire long ago. This is why he left behind his divine thought to help the Douluo Three Kingdoms overcome the difficulties..."

Xue Sheng stretched out his dry palm and gently patted Shu Yan's shoulder, then stuffed the Hanhai Qiankun Cover into Shu Yan's arms with a tough attitude.

"Take it. Treasures should find a good owner. A'Yan, in my opinion, you are not only the hope for the future of Douling, but also the hope of the entire Douluo Three Kingdoms to compete with the Sun and Moon Empire in the future. No matter what, you must leave this Vast Sea Universe Cover behind today."

Shu Yan thought for a moment, then said:

"Then I will respectfully obey your command..."

Hearing this, Xue Sheng finally smiled.

He waved his hand, and the swan totems that were originally separated slowly gathered together. Perhaps no one could have imagined before that the Douling Empire's national treasure was actually hidden behind the desk where the emperor usually handled government affairs. To some extent, hiding it here is indeed safer than storing it in the national treasury.

As Shu Yan put the Vast Sea Universe Cover into the storage soul guide, the faint blue light lingering in the entire main hall slowly faded away, and everything around it quickly returned to its original state.

After doing all this, Xue Sheng returned to the throne and sat down again. He pulled Shu Yan aside to talk about many topics. It was not until dark that he let Shu Yan leave the palace.

Ghost Bee Douluo was still standing in front of the main hall door like a dead tree. When Shu Yan came out, he happened to look into his eyes. The empty and dead eyes made Shu Yan curious.

It's obvious that this guy has a lot of stories. With his temper, it would be difficult for ordinary people to get a response from him. However, considering his status, it's a good thing that he's quiet and talkative.

……

After returning home, Shu Yan recounted everything that happened today in detail under Yu Bingyan's questioning.

Shu Junyou and Yu Bingyan were both surprised. They had not expected Xue Sheng to give away the national treasure so easily. Xue Lin just snorted coldly and then said:

"Since he gave it to you, Ah Yan, you can just keep it with peace of mind. My royal brother may not have much wisdom, but he does have a lot of cleverness. If it weren't for those things that happened back then, he wouldn't be the one sitting in that position now..."

It can be seen that Xuelin is still brooding over some of the past events.

Shu Yan was very sensible and did not ask any more questions. He could see that his grandmother still had a hint of anger between her brows when she thought of those things. It was conceivable how much impact those things had on her.

Yu Bingyan chuckled as she poured Xuelin a cup of tea. Though she could be quite aggressive around others, she always acted like a gentle wife in front of Xuelin. "Mom, please don't be angry. Have a cup of tea and cool down. Ultimately, what's ours won't be taken away by anyone. When A-Yan grows up, even the Sun-Moon Empire might have to think twice before starting a war..."

As a mother, Yu Bingyan has more than 100% confidence in Shu Yan.

Shu Junyou and Shu Yan looked at each other, and neither of them spoke again...

……

Two days later, Shu Yan's aunt Yu Ningyi and cousin Yu Mengdi finally arrived in Lingdou City, exhausted.

Yu Ningyi is two years older than Yu Bingyan. Although they are sisters, their personalities are completely different.

Unlike Yu Bingyan, Yu Ningyi is a typical gentle and considerate beauty. If Yu Bingyan's beauty is noble and cold, then Yu Ningyi is somewhat similar to Han Ruoruo. Both of them have a unique bookish air, which gives people a very good first impression.

As for Yu Mengdi, well, this girl is a complete problem girl, spoiled and aggressive, a little narrow-minded, and quite jealous.

But it must be said that Yu Mengdi, who is already eighteen years old, is in the best period of her life. She exudes a heart-warming youthful aura all over her body, especially her beautiful face, which has completely lost the immaturity of a girl. In terms of appearance alone, Yu Mengdi is only slightly inferior to the most beautiful girl in the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy.

As soon as they met, before Shu Yan had time to say hello to Yu Ningyi, he was dragged by the anxious Yu Mengdi towards the manor's martial arts field.

Shu Yan reluctantly broke free from Yu Mengdi's "dirty hands" and then said unhappily:

"Cousin, don't you have anything else on your mind besides fighting? How can you start a fight right after meeting someone..."

Yu Mengdi snorted coldly, and then said confidently:
"I came here to fight you. If it weren't for a fight, why would I come all the way to Lingdou City? Shu Yan, have you become stupid after studying at Shrek Academy?..."

"Mengdi, don't be willful..."

Yu Ningyi said helplessly, then she looked at Shu Yan and said with a hint of apology:
"Ayan, your cousin is just like that. After all these years, no matter what her father and I say, she won't change. Just ignore her. If she dares to bother you, come find me, your aunt, and I'll teach her a lesson for you."

Yu Mengdi glared at Shu Yan, then said with some dissatisfaction:
"Mom, why have you always sided with that brat Shu Yan? I'm obviously your biological daughter..."

Yu Ningyi pulled Shu Yan to her side, rubbed Shu Yan's head out of habit, glanced at Yu Mengdi, and then said with some regret:
"With you around, I feel like I'm going to live twenty years less."

"Tell me about it yourself. How much trouble have you caused me since you were a child? How much time and effort have I put into your affairs? Look at A Yan. He has been very well behaved since he was a child. He has never caused any trouble for his family. Now he is the number one genius in Shrek. If you were half as good as A Yan, I wouldn't say anything to you..."

Yu Mengdi stomped her feet in anger, and her fair and tender face turned red with embarrassment.

Yu Ningyi ignored the broken Yu Mengdi and pulled Shu Yan towards the hall. Yu Bingyan chuckled and pinched Yu Mengdi's cheek, saying with some emotion:
"The little girl is getting prettier and prettier. Okay, don't be angry. I'll let A Yan accompany you to the martial arts arena to fight to your heart's content..."

Yu Mengdi hugged Yu Bingyan's arm, took a deep breath, and smiled:
"Aunt, you're really good to me. Unlike my mom, she just nags me all day long..."

Yu Bingyan chuckled, stretched out a finger and tapped Yu Mengdi's forehead, then said:
"Your mother is doing that for your own good. Don't always go against her. When she gets really angry, even I, your aunt, wouldn't dare to intervene. You, little girl, are just a newborn calf who's not afraid of a tiger..."

Yu Mengdi just snorted nonchalantly.

In their family, Yu Ningyi is gentle and virtuous, and they rarely educate her personally, but there are exceptions. Sometimes when emotions accumulate to a peak and explode, Yu Ningyi will never show mercy when she takes action.

Thinking about Yu Mengdi, she has been in Zhengtian Academy for so many years and has caused countless troubles, and has been beaten countless times. For her, getting beaten is just a common occurrence.

Her reputation as the legendary tough queen is well-deserved!
