On the Soul Fighting Arena stage.
The dark green poisonous mist was mixed with an icy blue mist. Soon, the dark green poisonous mist was completely devoured by the extremely cold icy mist. Thunder and lightning crashed and shattered against the ice crystals. The fists met again and again, producing continuous sonic booms in the air. The audience below didn't even dare blink, afraid of missing a moment.
Shen Liuyu reached through the poisonous mist and grabbed Dugu Yan's snake tail in one motion. Then, with a fierce yank, she flung her away. Immediately after, she circulated her soul power and delivered a kick that sent Yu Feng, who had rushed forward, flying, nearly leaving him unable to take care of himself.
Nearby, Shi Mo and Shi Mo exchanged a glance. A massive turtle-shell shield appeared in their hands. With a roar, they charged forward to surround Shen Liuyu.
Shen Liuyu gave a glance toward Shui Bing'er, who was handling Yu Tianheng with ease on the side. Shui Bing'er's first soul ring lit up beneath her feet. In an instant, Shi Mo and Shi Mo were frozen solid into ice blocks.
Shen Liuyu stepped onto the two of them. Even though they were frozen, the terrifying force still made their heads spin. Then she slapped Yu Feng away once again as he stubbornly charged forward. Yu Feng spat out a mouthful of blood and finally collapsed straight to the ground.
Actually, this couldn't be blamed on Shen Liuyu being too ruthless. When she kicked Yu Feng earlier, she had deliberately held back some strength, hoping he wouldn't keep looking for trouble. But instead of backing off, he kept rushing in to take more beatings. How could she be blamed for that…?
Following closely behind, Gu Qingbo and Qiu Ruoshui kicked Shi Mo and Shi Mo off the stage. Then, looking at the ferocious Shen Liuyu, they silently swallowed hard.
Yu Tianheng's side wasn't faring any better either. Under Shui Bing'er's relentless punches and kicks, Yu Tianheng even felt like he was facing a humanoid female tyrannosaurus. Even with his terrifying physical quality, he was still forced back step by step without using soul skills; he couldn't even find the slightest chance to counterattack. Moreover, the other party looked completely relaxed, strolling, showing no trace of tension from the battle at all.
…
Back to Shen Liuyu's side. At this moment, she had firmly gripped the emerald-green snake tail in her hand. Dugu Yan's pretty face was slightly flushed. She glared somewhat angrily at Shen Liuyu, who was wantonly inspecting and playing with her tail.
Shen Liuyu tsked twice, then said:
"Green-skinned snake, you're no good either. With this level of attack power, to this old lady it's just like scratching an itch…"
Dugu Yan gritted her teeth and said:
"Female tiger, what nonsense are you spouting? If it weren't for your brother spoiling you rotten, this old lady would definitely beat you until you doubted your life right now…"
Shen Liuyu smiled carelessly and said proudly:
"What? Are you jealous? This old lady likes to slack off and lie flat, so what? Even though my brother likes to roast me, isn't he still thinking about me in every possible way? Do you believe me? Even if this old lady doesn't cultivate at all, my brother could just feed me until I become a Titled Douluo. You don't have an older brother like that, do you? Bleh bleh bleh…"
Dugu Yan stared at Shen Liuyu in dumbfounded disbelief and said incredulously:
"You… you… You're simply unreasonable…"
Shen Liuyu hooked her lips into a smile. Then her right foot suddenly lifted and slammed down. Terrifying force erupted, instantly raising clouds of dust across the sky. Amid the dust, Shen Liuyu's palm struck fast, accurately, ruthlessly, and continuously, landing on the perfectly round area that became visible after Dugu Yan released her martial soul possession.
"If I'm unreasonable, then I'm unreasonable. This old lady is going to properly deal with you first before talking about anything else…"
Dugu Yan bit her lip hard. Her hands tightly clutched Shen Liuyu's clothes. Moist water vapor slowly rose in her eyes, and her gaze gradually became dazed and misty…
…
After Shui Bing'er and the other girls effortlessly threw Yu Tianheng and the others off the stage, Shen Liuyu finally walked out of the dust cloud, casually shaking her hand while supporting Dugu Yan, whose legs were still trembling as she walked.
Before stepping off the stage, Dugu Yan gave Shen Liuyu a strange look, then limped slowly toward her teammates.
Seeing Shen Liuyu looking completely relaxed and pleased, Shui Bing'er stepped forward with a light smile and asked:
"How exactly did you 'deal with' her? It looks like she's still a little reluctant to part with you…"
Shen Liuyu's body stiffened. She hurriedly said:
"She's clearly secretly holding a grudge against me, okay? Bing'er, please think normally. I'm still counting on you to become my second sister-in-law in the future…"
Shui Bing'er showed a puzzled expression and said:
"Did I say something wrong?"
Shen Liuyu's expression stiffened again. She touched her nose, quickly grabbed Shui Bing'er, and ran toward the others.
The corners of Shui Bing'er's lips curved into a beautiful arc. As for exactly why, no one knew…
…
Evening.
After "nanny" Ye Lingling's round of intense healing, the members of the Imperial Fighting Team were basically fully recovered. The two teams hit it off immediately and went straight to the best restaurant in the city to have a group meal together.
However, whenever Yu Feng looked at Shen Liuyu, his eyes were filled with maximum fear, terrified of eating another kick…
Interestingly, Lan Fuzi actually took the initiative to go talk to Ye Lingling. Although Ye Lingling's attitude was cold, she would still politely reply with a few words.
While the girls were toasting and chatting, Shen Liuyu suddenly felt a gaze land on her. Following the line of sight, she saw Dugu Yan sitting beside Yu Tianheng.
Since she had vented her anger and was in an excellent mood, Shen Liuyu even raised her glass toward her from afar in greeting.
Dugu Yan was clearly a little surprised, but she still elegantly curved her lips into a smile and lightly raised her glass in return.
…
The dinner party could be considered a perfect success.
That night, after returning to the private suite prepared at the Soul Fighting Arena, Shen Liuyu and Shui Bing'er's expressions changed almost at the same time. After giving a few quick instructions, they hurriedly returned to their own rooms.
Shen Hanyu and the Snow Empress slowly appeared in front of the still somewhat confused girls. Before they could even react in shock, Shen Hanyu raised a hand to stop them. Then he took out several snow-white ice marrow crystals and said softly:
"Take these back and absorb them. Your soul power has more or less reached the edge of breakthrough. Those who still need to hunt for soul rings can take care of that at the same time…"
The girls exchanged glances and roughly understood the situation. They orderly received the ice marrow crystals from Shen Hanyu's hand, thanked him, and returned to their respective rooms.
Shen Hanyu used his soul power to envelop the entire floor, doing his best to prevent any outsiders from disturbing their breakthroughs.
Meanwhile, Shen Hanyu pulled the Snow Empress directly to the top floor of the Soul Fighting Arena. Gazing at the bright, clear moon and enjoying the gentle night breeze, they began to enjoy a comfortable moment alone together.
The Snow Empress gently rested her head on Shen Hanyu's shoulder and said softly:
"It's been a long time since I've seen moonlight this bright and clean…"
Shen Hanyu smiled and pulled the Snow Empress into his arms, saying:
"With me here, from now on, year after year, I'll accompany you to watch it."
The corners of the Snow Empress's mouth curved into a smile. Then, with a hint of playfulness, she said:
"As long as there aren't too many sisters around me in the future, I'll accept it…"
Shen Hanyu was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly. This sudden playfulness appearing on the Snow Empress's usually cold and clear face carried an overwhelmingly strong sense of contrast and allure…
"Sleep well tonight. The Star Dou Great Forest isn't a place where you can rest properly."
Shen Hanyu said gently.
The Snow Empress lazily gave an "mm," then opened her arms toward Shen Hanyu and said softly:
"Hug…"
Shen Hanyu gently lifted the Snow Empress into his arms, then quickly disappeared into the night…
…
The moon over the sea is the moon in the sky,
The person before my eyes is the person in my heart…
