I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

The moment Ye Xishui appeared, everyone on the Spirit Pagoda side instantly released their martial souls and donned their battle armor.

Ye Xishui frowned as she watched the girls' soul power increase dramatically and said, "Oh, so this is the Battle Armor? It can actually raise the soul power of you little girls to the level of Title Douluo in one go."

Despite saying that, Ye Xishui still didn't take the women seriously. So what if they were multiple Title Douluos? As long as they couldn't reach the level of Limit Douluo, they still couldn't escape her grasp.

In her view, the only one who could barely pose a threat to her was Ma Xiaotao, who not only had a cultivation level of Title Douluo but also possessed the Ultimate Flame.

In addition, her battle armor seemed to be of a higher level than the other girls present. With all these enhancements, her strength was already infinitely close to that of a level 98 Super Douluo.

Wang Dong'er could theoretically be considered a threat, as her battle armor level should be the same as Ma Xiaotao's, and she also wields the Poseidon Trident, a super artifact.

The problem is that the battle with Huo Yuhao just now consumed too much of Wang Dong'er's soul power. Now she is having difficulty even maintaining the release of her martial soul, and she can't release her battle armor either.

There was nothing that could be done; Wang Dong'er was ultimately just a Soul Saint, and it was already quite remarkable that she could still stand up and prepare for battle.

Ye Xishui looked down at the group of women and said, "Although I originally wanted to find that bitch Yinlong and her little boyfriend and make them pay for what happened in the past."

"But considering they're currently preoccupied with the Holy Emperor and Empress, we'll start by targeting you!"

"Now that we've dealt with Silver Dragon's boyfriend's group of girlfriends, I wonder what kind of despair he'll have on his face? Hahahaha!!!"

"Do you even know where Xingyu is?!" Wang Dong'er glared at Ye Xishui. "Could it be that Xingyu's disappearance is because of...?!"

"That's right," Ye Xishui replied casually, "It was us who did it."

Upon hearing this, everyone present glared angrily at Ye Xishui. Originally, they just wanted to find an opportunity to quickly leave with their people.

But now that Ye Xishui has revealed that Xu Xingyu's disappearance is related to their Holy Spirit Cult, they will not let her go even if she wants to leave.

Looking at the aggressive girls, Ye Xishui said disdainfully, "You little girls think you can take me down? You're really overestimating yourselves. Come out, Xiaoyao."

A tall old man appeared beside Ye Xishui. His face was aged and marked by the passage of time, but it was still clear that he must have been exceptionally handsome in his youth.

What was chilling was that her eyes were empty and lifeless, as if she had lost Lingyun, and she stood there like a walking corpse, which made people feel sad.

Wang Dong'er exclaimed in surprise, "This is Dragon Emperor Douluo, Long Xiaoyao! But how is this possible! Shouldn't he have been... by Sister Na'er...?"

"Wait!" Gu Qiuxi stared at the figure that resembled Long Xiaoyao, then said with an incredulous expression, "This isn't Long Xiaoyao, or rather, this is Long Xiaoyao. Ye Xishui, you crazy old woman, you actually turned Long Xiaoyao into your vengeful spirit puppet!?"

"What?!!"

After the initial shock, and with a deep disgust for this humiliation of another's body, Ye Guyi, possessing a strong sense of justice, immediately rebuked, "Ye Xishui, you vixen! You actually turned Long Xiaoyao's corpse into a puppet! Do you have any humanity left?!"

Knowing the extraordinary story of Ye Xishui, Mu En, and Long Xiaoyao from back then, Gu Qiuxi asked in bewilderment, "Long Xiaoyao, isn't he your lover? Why would you do something that would cause him eternal unrest?"

"Yes, I love Long Xiaoyao. He is the man I am willing to give everything for."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xishui, who had been filled with intense killing intent, looked at Long Xiaoyao's figure with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

But that sadness was quickly replaced by anger, and intense resentment surrounded Ye Xishui, "He betrayed my love! How dare he leave first!!!"

"His departure has brought me constant pain. I cannot forgive him for dying and leaving me like this! So, as revenge, I will make him stay by my side for all eternity!!!"

Faced with Ye Xishui's twisted and insane declaration, Wang Dong'er angrily retorted, "This isn't love at all! True love is about supporting each other and facing difficulties together, not forcing the other person to be by your side forever. What you're doing is just selfish possessiveness!"

Gu Qiuxi, who was standing to the side, really wanted to complain. If Long Xiaoyao were aware of this, he would probably be very happy. That man's feelings were a bit too obsessive.

In Xu Xingyu's words, one was willing to hit, and the other was willing to be hit.

Long Xiaoyao is the ultimate simp, and he even managed to win her over without realizing it.

But honestly, is the relationship between Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui really love?

Why does she seem more like a wicked fairy, leashed with a lapdog slave?

Hearing Wang Dong'er's words, Ye Xishui's eyes flashed with mockery. She sneered, "Mutual support? Facing difficulties? Do you really think this kind of fairy tale can happen in reality? In this world, only the strong survive; the weak are only fit to be manipulated and exploited!"

"Only those who are willing to disregard the cost and selflessly give everything deserve to talk about love."

"Since Xiaoyao loves me, then he should be willing to become my puppet after death!"

"It's too pathetic for you to share a man's love with other women!"

"It's exactly the same behavior of being scammed by a scumbag and still counting money for him!"

Wang Dong'er took a deep breath, looked at Ye Xishui with a firm gaze, and calmly said, "Ye Xishui, your 'love' is nothing but a twisted possessiveness. Your talk of 'survival of the fittest' and 'the weak being manipulated' is just an excuse to satisfy your own selfish desires!"

Gu Qiuxi added, "Ye Xishui, you believe that only those willing to give everything for someone deserve to talk about love. So what about you now? Have you ever given anything for Long Xiaoyao, Mu En, or anyone who has ever loved you?"

Jiang Nannan said angrily, "You just take it for granted that these are things they should do for you, simply because they love you, so whatever they do for you is their due! And you don't need to do anything for them! Because you arbitrarily blame all your misfortunes on others!"

Xu Yanxue coldly looked at Ye Xishui: "You think you're in control of everything, but deep down you're filled with fear and loneliness. The fact that you've turned Long Xiaoyao into a puppet is the biggest proof of that. A true strong person faces their inner fears and accepts help from others to move forward, instead of using so-called 'laws of the strong' to mask their vulnerability."

Ma Xiaotao firmly stated, "Do you really think you're the most unfortunate person in the world? The world owes you nothing; there are plenty of people more pitiful than you!"

After a long silence, he said calmly, "Your so-called love, like your heart, is too ugly. Falling in love with a woman like you will only lead to tragedy."

"You little brats who haven't even grown all their hair yet..."

Before Ye Xishui could erupt in anger, a faint pink light began to emanate from Wang Dong'er's chest.

As if struck by a thought, Wang Dong'er took out a black stone, on which grew a white peony.

The pink light seemed to be the peony's yearning, and Wang Dong'er, as if possessed, spat out a mouthful of blood.

The painstaking effort has painted the white peonies, while the blood-red peonies are now in full bloom.

The flower of deepest love, the king of flowers, the Acacia 'Heartbreak Red', acknowledged Wang Dong'er's love at this moment.
