On the Douluo Continent, a soul master's advancement has always relied on hunting soul beasts.
Humans and soul beasts—since ancient times—have stood on opposite sides.
Back then, when the boy boldly confessed his feelings, the Snow Empress had indeed been moved.
But humans and beasts walk different paths.
She could deceive herself, but the contradiction itself would never change.
During Huo Yuhao's confrontation with Gu Yuena, countless innocent soul beasts had been dragged into the conflict.
The ground littered with soul rings was a sight too horrifying to behold.
It was from that moment on that the Snow Empress began to distance herself from him.
And he did not persist.
He was busy—
busy cultivating,
busy establishing the Bright Realm,
busy forming the Heavenly Court and recruiting forces.
Romantic entanglements were never placed first.
"Life lies in burning itself—
even if only for a brief, dazzling brilliance."
The Snow Empress murmured those words softly.
She thought of her own life.
From the moment she was born, she had no parents.
Or rather—
the heavens and earth of the Extreme North were her parents.
Yet she had never felt their warmth.
From the moment she came into existence, she was alone.
That loneliness shaped her—cold, distant, rejecting all who approached.
Until one day, a boy forcefully barged into her world.
And she could do nothing about it.
Later, when the boy revealed his feelings, the strings of her heart were stirred little by little.
She sensed the danger—and chose to flee.
Perhaps both of them believed there was still plenty of time.
Time they could waste freely.
They never realized—
That man had already carved an indelible mark deep within her heart.
Farewells always arrive without warning.
She thought there was still time.
But when they met again—
It was eternal separation.
Crystalline tears slid down her cheeks, soaking into her sleeves.
The Snow Empress stared blankly at the damp fabric.
So… I can cry too?
Those who are cherished are always fearless.
Only after loss does one learn to treasure.
She had heard that sentence from the Ice Empress before.
Only now did she truly understand it.
She regretted it.
But it was already too late.
"Fusing emotion with heaven and earth, manifesting it in the world…
The Snow Empress is stronger than before."
By the Lake of Life, Di Tian sensed the sorrowful emotional fluctuations and couldn't help but sigh.
He was a soul beast—the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King.
Dragons were lustful by nature; love was not something he should experience.
Yet at this moment, grief-stricken affection flooded his consciousness, impossible to dispel—
followed by endless loneliness and desolation.
Di Tian knew these emotions did not belong to him.
And yet, they shook him deeply.
Aside from gods—
There was actually someone in this world capable of influencing his mind.
Time passed to the third day since Zhang Lexuan had found the injured man.
Due to special circumstances, Buren had bid her farewell.
The man's injuries had recovered barely ten to twenty percent.
Zhang Lexuan did not dare let him fully recover.
If he healed completely, she would have no way to restrain him.
At this moment, Zhang Lexuan was using a flying soul tool, heading toward Shrek Academy.
But to accommodate the injured man, she flew slowly.
They were still within Sun Moon Empire territory.
Then—
The man she was carrying slowly regained consciousness.
Zhang Lexuan sensed it instantly. She halted midair, descended directly to the ground, and raised her guard.
"Who are you?"
"Where am I?"
The man scanned his surroundings and asked a question that startled her.
Zhang Lexuan smiled faintly.
"Long time no see."
The man frowned.
"You know me? Then… who am I?"
This time, it was Zhang Lexuan who froze.
Amnesia?
Or was he pretending, avoiding conflict by feigning memory loss?
Still—his soul damage was severe.
Amnesia was not impossible.
Thoughts raced through her mind.
She considered fabricating a lie—
saying he was her younger brother, or Elder Mu's disciple.
But she quickly dismissed it.
Too easy to expose.
And deep down, she felt strong resistance toward such shameless deception.
She smiled gently and said:
"Your name is Su Xing. You're a student of Shrek Academy.
I'm an inner court student of Shrek as well. We've met before.
Don't you remember?"
It wasn't entirely a lie.
He was a Shrek student—at least once.
His reputation was enormous.
Few had seen him, but many knew his name.
That was why she did not tell him his real identity.
Otherwise, he might discover who he truly was just by walking down the street.
"Su Xing… Shrek…"
The man felt only unfamiliarity.
He fell silent, thinking.
He had lost his memory—not his intelligence.
He wouldn't blindly trust her words.
Still, if she had meant him harm, she could have killed him while he was unconscious.
There was no need for all this trouble.
"Then… senior sister," Su Xing asked with a frown,
"why can't I remember anything?"
Zhang Lexuan shook her head.
"I don't know the specifics either. I found you outside the Evil Spirit Forest.
You were severely injured. Your memory loss is likely due to damage to your soul."
Su Xing's frown deepened.
Seeing this, Zhang Lexuan reassured him:
"Don't worry. We're heading back to the academy.
The Pavilion Master and the Headmaster will definitely find a way to help you."
Shrek Academy…
For some reason, merely hearing the name stirred an inexplicable sense of disgust within Su Xing.
But he didn't mention it.
Perhaps something unpleasant had happened there in the past.
Afterward, Zhang Lexuan stopped flying and hired a carriage instead, heading steadily toward the academy.
Along the way, she patiently explained basic knowledge to him—
Martial souls and soul masters,
soul beasts and soul rings.
But what she spoke of most was Shrek Academy.
The hardworking outer court teachers and headmaster.
The inner court disciples.
The Inspection Team that punished evil soul masters.
The Sea God Pavilion that safeguarded continental peace.
One matter after another.
One name after another.
Nothing was omitted.
On the second day—
The carriage traveling along the main road was suddenly surrounded.
"Shrek trash—
come out and die!"
The shout echoed outside.
Inside the carriage, Su Xing and Zhang Lexuan heard it clearly.
Zhang Lexuan instructed Su Xing to stay inside, assuring him she would handle everything—then stepped out.
The moment she saw the three figures blocking the road, her brows knitted together.
The Sun Moon Empire had truly let evil soul masters run rampant.
They were all evil soul masters—and powerful ones at that.
Three Titled Douluo.
Two at Rank 94.
One at Rank 95.
As for the two Soul Douluo behind them—
Zhang Lexuan ignored them entirely.
Evil soul masters were dangerous, yes.
But did they really think Shrek's disciples were weak?
