Chapter 190: “busy Is Good.”
“Oh my, the food here in Douluo Three Kingdoms is still the most delicious!”
“Old Mu, that piece is mine!”
“Oh, I saw it on the plate and thought no one wanted it?”
“Old rules, quick hands get it, slow hands miss out!”
Long Xiaoyao was gorging himself in the room on the top floor of the restaurant, biting into the roasted meat without any image.
Mu En’s image wasn’t much better either, his hand snatching food with Long Xiaoyao, the two men’s hand speeds almost leaving afterimages.
These two alone together wouldn’t care about any etiquette or pretense, only the desire for eating!
After all, they were brothers, talking about those things would be too unfamiliar.
After eating for a while, Mu En leaned back slightly against the soft chair back and said to Long Xiaoyao:
“No way? Looking at you like this, how many years has it been since you ate something good?”
Long Xiaoyao stuffed delicacies into his mouth, then took a big gulp of wine, swallowing the meat and wine together.
Hearing Mu En’s words, Long Xiaoyao felt extremely melancholic.
“Old Mu, you don’t understand.”
“The Sun Moon Empire is simply a food desert.”
“The first time I went to Mingdu, someone invited me to eat.”
“There was a famous dish in the restaurant called Looking Up at the Starry Sky.”
“That caused a huge shock in my heart at the time!”
“If a fish is made into Looking Up at the Starry Sky, that fish died in vain!”
“These years, I’ve been searching for delicacies in the Sun Moon Empire for so long, and the best thing turned out to be steak.”
Long Xiaoyao recalled the past, looking at the table full of delicacies before him, and vengefully took several fierce bites.
“Those soul engineers in the Sun Moon Empire pursue speed and don’t care if the food tastes good or not.”
“Because no matter how bad it is, it’s still better than pills.”
“Plus the emergence of fast food culture, the traditional catering in the Sun Moon Empire is basically ruined.”
“The entire catering industry in Mingdu has started transforming, developing in the fast food direction, choosing to franchise Kenlaishi.”
“If I hadn’t spent my own money to preserve a few traditional restaurants, all of Mingdu would be nothing but burgers, fries, and fried chicken!”
Listening to his old friend complain about these years’ experiences, Mu En smiled as he listened, enjoying this feeling of chatting with his close friend, just like returning to the past.
Mu En suddenly thought of something and hesitantly asked Long Xiaoyao:
“Xi Shui, how is she?”
This sentence made Long Xiaoyao pause, this tall silver-haired old man looked at Mu En with an almost pleading gaze, then shook his head slightly.
Seeing this, Mu En sighed inwardly; sometimes not answering meant the answer.
The other party had completely fallen into becoming an evil soul master, Mu En felt some sadness; Ye Xishui was the first woman he had ever loved.
When she had agreed to his confession back then, he was really excited, feeling that the future was bright.
Who would have thought the future would turn out like this; fate plays tricks on people!
Mu En looked up at Long Xiaoyao, his eyes showing a gentle gaze; he could feel that the soul power aura on Long Xiaoyao was still vast and boundless.
The dark soul power was extremely pure, without a trace of evil soul master aura; this old friend had not fallen, but had taken a wrong path.
Fortunately, they met today; otherwise, the future would be uncertain.
“Old friend, you’ve surely suffered a lot these years.”
“Tell it all to me.”
“Just like before.”
Mu En’s words made Long Xiaoyao’s pupils shrink; he knew Mu En could definitely see that he had been mixing with evil soul masters.
He had thought of many scenarios, including cursing or even a big fight.
Long Xiaoyao had come today prepared to be beaten by Mu En, even if beaten to death, he would have no complaints.
Although he hadn’t done evil soul master things, just becoming the chief offering of the Holy Spirit Cult had already helped the Holy Spirit Cult a lot.
He was no longer clean, having become the kind of person he hated most before.
Mu En’s simple and short words pierced Long Xiaoyao’s chest like a sharp sword, tearing apart all seemingly tough defenses.
His throat trembled, lips quivered, nose soured, and he felt like crying a bit.
He hadn’t expected that the one who cared about him most wasn’t Ye Xishui, whom he spent every day with, but this old friend he hadn’t seen in so long.
Long Xiaoyao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn’t know what to say.
Mu En gently raised a wine cup, signaling Long Xiaoyao to clink glasses.
Long Xiaoyao forced a smile, picked up his wine cup to clink, then tilted his head back to down the strong liquor.
Not sure if it was the alcohol giving him courage, Long Xiaoyao sighed and silently said to Ye Xishui in his heart:
“Sorry, Xi Shui.”
Then, Long Xiaoyao looked at Mu En and said seriously:
“That was after we separated.”
“I followed Ye Xishui’s trail all the way, searching for where she was.”
“…………”
“When I finally found her, she was already the sect leader of the Holy Spirit Cult.”
“The Holy Spirit Cult is the sect of evil soul masters, with a total of eight great elders and twelve offerings inside.”
“Uh, now it’s six great elders.”
“Ten Thousand Souls and Abomination were killed by Spirit Ice Douluo.”
“The remaining six great elders are all in the Sun Moon Empire.”
“Not all twelve offerings are evil soul masters; there’s even your acquaintance, Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng.”
“And I am the chief offering of the Holy Spirit Cult.”
“Mu En! I let down Xi Shui, and even more, I let you down!”
“If you want to kill me, I won’t resist; this is my sin, aiding evildoers, I don’t deny it, but I really couldn’t control myself!”
“I………”
Mu En gently shook his head and said:
“Sigh.”
“You’re still alive and haven’t truly become an evil soul master; I’m already very happy.”
“Xiaoyao, now I ask you a question: if you had to choose between me and Xi Shui, who would you choose?”
This time Mu En’s tone was very serious; Long Xiaoyao hesitated for a while, then firmly pointed at him.
“You!”
Mu En nodded, a smile appearing on his face as he said:
“Then stay at Shrek Academy.”
“Help me.”
“Help me change this academy.”
“This academy has many serious problems; I need your help!”
“I will perform surgery on the entire academy; it will be weak for a long time, and I might not be able to hold on alone.”
“But with you, the former Black and White Twin Saints Dragon can definitely do it!”
“That year we walked with hands in pockets, not knowing what opponents were!”
“Together we give this continent a brand new Shrek Academy.”
“Then strike evil soul masters together with the new Shrek! Wash away your past sins!”
“Give this continent an explanation.”
Long Xiaoyao’s eyes widened slightly; Mu En seemed to emanate light, and he couldn’t help but reach out and say:
“Good! Old Mu!”
“I’m with you!”
Soon, on the top floor of Oscar Restaurant, two old men over two hundred years old laughed together, then drank heartily, exposing each other’s old secrets.
‘Blood Soul Demonic Puppet’: “Xiaoyao, where are you?”
“Why is the address in Shrek City?”
“Are you coming back for dinner today?”
Ye Xishui’s fingers quickly moved on the Magic Net Light Screen in the Holy Spirit Cult, sending a message to Long Xiaoyao; looking at his address, she had a bad feeling.
And at this moment, Long Xiaoyao was drinking with Mu En, the two already oblivious to the world, shoulder to shoulder, bragging about their past glorious records there.
For example, Mu En telling Long Xiaoyao how many beautiful soul master women he had satisfied when young.
Long Xiaoyao then said that when young, facing invading enemies, he used a kitchen knife to chop from south of the city to north of the city without blinking.
The two seemed to have endless things to talk about; Long Xiaoyao’s face was flushed from drinking, long forgetting who Ye Xishui was.
In the dim great hall of the Holy Spirit Cult, the faint light of the Magic Net Light Screen illuminated Ye Xishui’s face, making it look ghastly pale.
She kept waiting for Long Xiaoyao’s reply, like Nagasaki Sosei from the neighboring band set waiting for a certain customer service reply.
“Sigh, so it’s like that after all?”
Ye Xishui leaned against the back of her seat, eyes looking at the Ten Thousand Ghosts Howling Picture overhead that could stop a child’s night crying.
She had memorized the appearance of every ghost in this Ten Thousand Ghosts.
“You still went to Mu En’s side, huh!”
“Haha.”
“That’s good too.”
“Don’t stay by my side anymore.”
“A thoroughly mad woman isn’t worth you guarding like this.”
“How many people have I killed exactly?”
“I really can’t remember.”
“Hundred thousand? Million? Too many.”
“Hahahaha!”
“I’m really a bit tired.”
In the dim hall, Ye Xishui suddenly laughed, her face neither crying nor laughing, extremely mad, even faintly showing self-destructive tendencies.
Soon, a middle-aged man with short silver hair hurried in, his face panicked.
“Mother!”
“What happened?!”
Zhong Li Wu’s appearance made Ye Xishui calm down a bit; she looked at the man below and said:
“Nothing happened.”
“Rather, you—how’s the research on the Blood Sea Grudge Spirit Spear going?”
Zhong Li Wu said respectfully:
“It can already be used barely; it just needs tens of thousands of newly dead vengeful spirits to activate.”
“What the Holy Religion lacks least in the Sun Moon Empire is talent.”
The Blood Sea Grudge Spirit Spear was a terrifying attack method capable of injuring Di Tian, and the activation method was equally cruel.
Every evil soul master in the Holy Spirit Cult, Huo Yuhao would show no mercy upon seeing them, directly sending them to see Tang Buddha.
“But Mother, all the Holy Religion’s bases in the Heaven Soul Empire have been eradicated.”
“According to intelligence, the force that attacked is suspected to be Xilu City of the Heaven Soul Empire.”
“And all our spies sent to Xilu City are dead.”
“Cause of death unknown; we don’t even know how the spies were exposed.”
Hearing Zhong Li Wu’s words, Ye Xishui stood up and said:
“Xilu City?”
“Those people are too close to Shrek; ignore them for now.”
“The Holy Religion’s focus should be in the Sun Moon Empire; the primary task is to help Xu Tianran ascend to the throne, then gradually control this country.”
“You go practice the Blood Sea Grudge Spirit Spear first.”
Zhong Li Wu bowed slightly and said:
“Understood, Mother.”
After Zhong Li Wu left, Ye Xishui’s mouth twisted into a strange smile, looking at the empty great hall.
“Everyone’s busy.”
“Busy is good.”
