  “We’re here.” The taxi stopped. The driver looked at the young couple through the rearview mirror.

  The girl was remarkably beautiful. She had a heroic air about her, unlike a beach girl. She seemed somewhat aloof. Compared to her, the young man had average looks. His eyes were his only outstanding features.

  Long Yuxue paid the driver while Tang Wulin got off the taxi before her. The sea lay before him. It had no boundaries, seemingly.

  Long Yuxue got down the taxi on the other side. She walked over to his side.

  Just then, the driver poked his head out from the window. “Young man, you should take the initiative after a quarrel. You must know how to treat your woman right, you know. Haha!” The driver then hit the gas and sped off into the distance with a whoosh.

  Tang Wulin was stunned. He turned to look at Long Yuxue.

  Long Yuxue’s beautiful face was slightly reddened. “You’ve not spoken a word to me along the way. We must’ve given the impression that we’re a couple who just had a fight.”


  Tang Wulin scratched his head awkwardly. She did not know why, but when she saw his cute actions, Long Yuxue could not help laughing. He was in disguise, but why was he still this attractive? Could it be that he was deeply ingrained in her heart?

  “I grew up by the shore. Seaside cities hold a special meaning for me. Skysea City is the largest city in the Eastsea. I took part in a competition here when I was little. This is where I met Xinglan and Lizhi for the first time. They were representing Shrek Academy. Xinglan was quite an opponent then!”


  “They’re also members of the Shrek Seven Monsters?” Long Yuxue had just met the other members of the Shrek Seven Monsters. She was not familiar with them.

  Tang Wulin nodded. “In the blink of an eye, almost a decade has passed. How time flies.”


  “Hey, you’re only in your twenties, okay? Don’t talk like an old geezer.”


  Tang Wulin replied, “That’s just a show of how mature I am. Look there. That’s the famous port of Skysea City. It’s the largest port in the Eastsea. It’s the reason behind Skysea City’s development. Now, a large part of it is used for military purposes. Soon, an invasive war will commence here.”


  Long Yuxue ventured, “You seem to hate wars very much.”


  Tang Wulin said, “Many people die in a war. Many more are orphaned or lose their loved ones. Wars are created for profits. I think it’s cruel to sacrifice the lives of others to benefit oneself. You’re right, I hate wars very much, and I hate the great powers even more.”


  “When I was still a small child, my parents were abducted by an unknown great power and forced to work for them. I’ve no idea where they are even now. I wanted to be a soul master when I was younger. My achievements today are the result of my parents being taken away from me which has led me to cultivate tirelessly. The Federation has always upheld fairness and freedom. Sad to say, there never was any fairness nor freedom in this world.”


  Long Yuxue said, “Then, what kind of world would you like ours to be?”


  Tang Wulin said with a bitter smile, “Actually, I’m not sure myself and that’s the truth. I don’t have any visionary ideals. I only hope that I can help lessen the pain for as many people as I can.”


  Long Yuxue said, “You’re doing well. During the abyssal plane’s invasion back then, if it weren’t for you, maybe our Blood God Army would’ve lost and the abyssal army would’ve taken over the Federation already. That would be a real tragedy where all life will be reduced to ashes. Although the others are not aware of it, I know for sure that you’re a hero. You’re the hero who saved the Federation.”


  Tang Wulin laughed in spite of himself and said, “It doesn’t matter to me whether I’m a hero or not. I only have a few wishes. I want to find my father, mother, rebuild Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect headquarters, and then……”


  He paused in mid-sentence.

  “Then what?” Although Long Yuxue could guess, she could not stop herself from asking. After she blurted out her question, she regretted it.

  “Then I’ll be with her, and we’ll have our own home.” Tang Wulin’s gaze suddenly became gentle. Yes, all he wanted was to have a home. It was his life’s dream. He wanted to be with his loved one, parents, and perhaps even have kids of his own.

  Long Yuxue’s vision blurred, but she could see the gleam of tears in his eyes. She had not expected him to be sentimental. Neither was she jealous, much to her surprise. Instead, she was heartbroken.

  She stepped forward to give him a hug. Currently, all she could think of was to console him. She wanted to tell him that if that person could not give him a home, she would be more than happy to fill the person’s place.

  Tang Wulin was slightly stunned from Long Yuxue’s embrace. At that very instant, a strong sense of foreboding filled him. It made his hair stood on end.

  Without hesitation, Tang Wulin hugged Long Yuxue with one arm and leaped to the side. With a single leap, they landed behind a sand dune.

  “Boom!”


  The intense sound of an explosion came from the sea surface far away. Tang Wulin’s and Long Yuxue’s ears were buzzing. The other sounds in their surroundings were veiled. Shortly after, the sand dune beside them turned yellow and was scattered everywhere. The intense shockwave had impacted them directly.

  Tang Wulin’s reflexes were extremely quick. His golden scales instantly covered his body. At the same time, he shielded Long Yuxue’s body with his own. He rode on the shockwave’s momentum and leaped. They landed further away.

  If he had been an ordinary person, he would have been torn to shreds when the shockwave hit. It had swept away everything in its path. However, Tang Wulin had a strong body. To him, a shockwave of such strength was just a powerful shove.

  Out of the blue, he and Long Yuxue saw a billowing wave.

  At this instant, his vision turned peculiar. The skies seemed to be an ocean which they were flying through like a vast world under the sea.

  Tang Wulin extended his golden dragon wings behind him. Riding on the momentum, he beat his wings forcefully as he brought Long Yuxue along. Together, they shot forward like an arrow.

  Nonetheless, the billowing wave had appeared too suddenly, and it covered an amazingly wide area. In the end, it fell from the sky and crashed onto them.

  A bluish light barrier appeared silently. It enveloped them the instant the seawater came crashing down. Long Yuxue was surprised that the seawater around them could not penetrate the light barrier. Without her noticing it, a trident-shaped rune had appeared on Tang Wulin’s forehead. A faint bluish light was pulsing in the center of the rune.

  Tang Wulin himself could not make any sense of this. However, it did not affect his reflexes. He beat his golden dragon wings again and broke the surface with Long Yuxue in tow. They rose into the air, but their bodies were completely dry, untouched by the seawater.

  Currently, Tang Wulin’s gaze was as sharp as ever. The lost and meek look he had just now was gone.

  He was careless and his emotions had fluctuated greatly just now. He did not sense the danger with his spiritual power which was apparently very sensitive. Perhaps, it was not directed at him. Still, he should have sensed it before it came!

  Currently, the huge waves in the sea were like those of a tsunami. Although the epicenter was far away, he could clearly see the terrifying energy shockwave erupting in the air in the middle of the ocean accompanied by thunderous explosions.

  Countless shards were scattered throughout in a faint, dark purplish light. A giant whirlpool with a diameter of about one kilometer appeared in the ocean. The dark purplish light was pulsing.
