Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Chapter 60 Old Friends Meet Again, Mu En Sees Long Xiaoyao Once More
White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

As soon as Dai Yuntian and Long Xiaoyao stepped into the mansion through the main gate, they encountered an ominous sign.

A fiery red figure rushed over with a joyful cheer, as swift as the wind.

"Hahaha... Xiao Yuntian, it really is you! I thought I was seeing things!"

The person who arrived was Ma Xiaotao.

She was initially upset because she hadn't been able to see Dai Yuntian since she was visiting with her teacher. However, just as they were about to head home, they bumped into each other at the door.

A radiant smile instantly bloomed on her bright and beautiful face. Without saying a word, she took a step forward, opened her arms, and pulled Dai Yuntian into a tight embrace.

Not good! It's a very bad omen!

Dai Yuntian felt a sudden darkness before his eyes.

His entire face was instantly enveloped in a warm and elastic "dangerous" embrace, the terrifying "fierce" pressure almost suffocating him.

"Hahaha... Not bad, not bad! It's been a year, how come you've grown so tall?"

After a while, Ma Xiaotao loosened her grip slightly, placed her hands on Dai Yuntian's shoulders, looked him up and down, her phoenix eyes full of surprise.

When we met last year, this little guy only reached her waist, but now he's almost up to her chest.

Having finally escaped the "suffocation" crisis, Dai Yuntian took a breath and said, "If you absorb it well, you'll naturally grow faster."

Soul Masters develop much faster than ordinary people. His previous inability to absorb many nutrients was due to congenital reasons.

Since his martial spirit awakened last year, his body has been growing at a rapid pace. In just one year, he not only caught up with his peers but also surpassed them by a considerable margin.

Looking at it now, it's no wonder that Ma Xiaotao was somewhat surprised.

After all, his height wasn't even up to par with his peers before.

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao was even more delighted. She affectionately put her arm around his shoulder and led him toward the hall, saying, "That's wonderful! Come on, come on, I've brought you some incredibly good news!"

As she walked, she asked with great interest, "By the way, what level is your soul power now? Is it almost time for you to acquire a soul ring?"

"We came here specifically to hunt for spirit rings for you."

Dai Yuntian smiled and politely declined, "Sister Xiaotao, I think it's unnecessary."

Ma Xiaotao frowned and glared at him, annoyed. "What do you mean 'no need'? Do you know what a luxurious lineup Shrek Academy has deployed this time? We can definitely find you the best soul beast. Be good!"

Dai Yuntian shook his head: "Really, I don't need it anymore, because I'm already level 35, so I don't need a soul ring."

"Level thirty-five?"

Ma Xiaotao's beautiful eyes widened instantly, and she looked at me suspiciously with a "Are you kidding me?" expression. "Are you kidding me? Even if you have innate soul power of level 20, it's impossible!"

"Really, you'll see."

Dai Yuntian didn't explain further. With a thought, the three spirit rings beneath his feet instantly rose up.

Two purples and one black!
This unusual fluctuation of soul power instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

Zhu Yun'er was the first to walk out.

Following closely behind were Mu En, Yan Shaozhe, Xuan Zi, and a gentle, black-haired girl.

"Yun'er?"

When Zhu Yun'er saw her son surrounded by spirit rings, she was stunned at first, and then burst into tears of joy.

She rushed forward and hugged Dai Yuntian tightly, stroking his arms, which were much stronger than before:

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Let your mother take a good look at my Yun'er... You're much taller and stronger than before! You must have suffered a lot back in the Sun Moon Empire, right?"

Feeling his mother's love, Dai Yuntian felt a warmth in his heart and said, "Mother, with Elder Long protecting me, no one can let me suffer."

As he spoke, he turned to look for Long Xiaoyao to testify, but received no response even after calling out several times.

"Elder Long, don't you agree?"

Dai Yuntian turned around in confusion and saw Long Xiaoyao standing not far away, facing Mu En, who was also being pushed out of the hall in a wheelchair.

The two elderly people locked eyes, their gazes filled with complex emotions, as if they had traversed decades, their expressions holding countless unspoken memories and reflections. Neither of them had ever imagined that their next meeting would be here.

Finally, Moon broke the silence first, a complex smile appearing on his aged face:

"Brother Long... I never imagined that after so many years, I would look so old and frail, while you would still be as dashing as ever!"

A flash of reminiscence crossed Long Xiaoyao's eyes: "You could have avoided that battle, just like me."

He was referring, of course, to that epic battle between Mu En and the previous sect leader of the Body Sect, Du Bisi!
Moon shook his head, his tone calm: "If I don't step up, countless innocent people at Shrek Academy will die. The academy needs someone to stand up."

Long Xiaoyao was silent for a moment, then asked, "Really... you have no regrets?"

Moon met his gaze calmly: "Of course not."

Just as the two elderly people were engrossed in their conversation about the past, Ma Xiaotao, unable to contain her curiosity, quietly tugged at Xuanzi's sleeve and asked in a low voice:
"Elder Xuan, who is that senior who is chatting with Elder Mu? He looks very impressive."

Xuanzi's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Long Xiaoyao... I really didn't expect that he would still be alive and appear here."

Ma Xiaotao looked blank: "Long Xiaoyao? Is he that famous?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe explained in a low voice, "Xiao Tao, she's more than just famous. She was the other one of the 'Black and White Twin Holy Dragons' back in the day, the Dark Holy Dragon, Long Xiaoyao!"

"Oh my God!"

Ma Xiaotao covered her mouth in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She turned to look at Dai Yuntian and exclaimed in a low voice, "Little Yuntian, he was following behind you just now, and he concealed his aura like an ordinary old man. I thought he was just a guard with decent cultivation."

Dai Yuntian smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Understated elegance is the greatest luxury.

At this moment, the gentle and beautiful girl standing next to Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but start to carefully examine Dai Yuntian.

Although I've heard Ma Xiaotao mention this name many times over the past year, this is the first time we've met.

The boy's features had not yet fully developed, and he could only be described as "delicate and cute".

But his innate, transcendent temperament is enough to leave a deep and unforgettable impression at a glance.

Zhang Lexuan finally understood why Ma Xiaotao couldn't forget him.

They're both raising/nurturing characters... but my baby doesn't seem to be able to compare to the other one at all?

Zhang Lexuan herself couldn't believe it when she said it, but Beibei, who is now 10 years old, still shouts all day long that she wants to be a Shrek hero and revive the Tang Sect!

A typical chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) teenager.

Although Beibei was her fiancé, Zhang Lexuan had to admit that Beibei was far superior to her in terms of both temperament and personality.

Not to mention talent or anything like that...

Yan Shaozhe stepped forward, a gentle yet authoritative smile on his face, and said to Dai Yuntian:
"You must be Dai Yuntian? You are indeed a handsome man. Seeing is believing. Hello, I am Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy."

"Dean Yan, hello." Dai Yuntian said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Zhang Lexuan also stepped forward gracefully, her voice gentle and melodious:

"Hello, Dai Yuntian, I am Zhang Lexuan, a disciple of Shrek Academy's inner court, temporarily serving as the senior sister."

Upon hearing this name, Dai Yuntian deliberately glanced at her.

At first, he thought that either Zhang Lexuan was very ugly, or she was the kind of person who did not conform to mainstream aesthetics.

That's why Beibei abandoned his fiancée to pursue Tang Ya.

But just one glance shattered his idea completely.

The girl before me had exquisite features, a gentle temperament, and a tall, well-proportioned figure. She was like a woman who had stepped out of a classical painting, serene and beautiful.

Dai Yuntian was truly baffled.

The question resurfaced in his mind once again.

So... what exactly went wrong with Beibei that made him turn his back on his seemingly perfect fiancée and pursue Tang Ya instead?
