Douluo Dalu - The Story Of Sheng Feilong

"What are you talking about?" Yuanen Yehui frowned; What Sheng Feilong told her was just too unbelievable . "Gu Yue attacked you and even tried to kill you? Why should she do something like that?"

Sheng Feilong shrugged lightly and looked at her with a calm expression . "I told you you wouldn"t believe me even if I told you told truth . " Yuanen Yehui"s frown deepened and she spoke with a serious voice . "No, I want to believe you, but do you realize what you"re saying?"

"I know . It sounds incredulous, but it really happened; Gu Yue tried to kill me . " Sheng Feilong"s expression was still calm and looked Yuanen Yehui directly into the eyes, waiting for her reaction . The latter hesitated for a moment, seemingly lost in thought before staring back at him . " . . . Why? For what reason would – or did – she attack you?"

"The Netherworld Putrefaction Demon . " Sheng Feilong spoke bluntly, causing Yuanen Yehui to frown again . "Your Spirit Essence . . ?" The former nodded his head, reminding Yuanen Yehui of something . "I never told you guys that name, right? You also only heard it today . However, Gu Yue knew it . And she knew its history . Plus, she questioned me about it, with an unknown high ranked Soul Douluo in tow . "

Yuanen Yehui stared at Sheng Feilong, still not knowing whether to believe him or not; Her expression openly showing this exact reaction, so Sheng Feilong just continued to speak . "I won"t bore you with the details, but the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon is apparently something unfathomably and inherently evil and Gu Yue wanted to exterminate me before I become an evil Soul Mast . She thought it was inevitable, so killing me sooner instead of later would be easier . "

After Sheng Feilong finished, Yuanen Yehui stayed silent for a long while . As a Soul Master with an evil Spirit Essence, she understood that what Sheng Feilong said about being hunted down wasn"t uncommon . In fact, she was faced with the same situation, even inside of Shrek Academy; back then, Yue Zhengyu wanted to hunt her down for possessing the Fallen Angel Spirit Essence .

However, Yuanen couldn"t believe that Gu Yue would do something like that; She, Tang Wulin and the other students of Shrek Academy never acted like that . Even Yue Zhengyu apologized for his actions and never tried anything again, despite it being his Clan"s orders .

"But, they never did anything . . . " Yuanen Yehui finally said with some difficulty . She looked concerned and somewhat confused, but Sheng Feilong only smiled lightly . "To you, yes . However, you also know how much more dangerous and powerful the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon is . And you don"t even know all the details about its origins . "

Yuanen Yehui took a deep breath, then looked at Sheng Feilong with a frown again . " . . . Then what about Tang Wulin? You used him as a hostage?" Again, Sheng Feilong lightly nodded his head, his voice still calm . "Yes . After Master forced that high ranked Soul Douluo to flee, we captured Gu Yue, but she refused to talk, even when threatened with death . So I asked Tang Wulin to come to my room . Master knocked him out, and we used him as leverage to make Gu Yue speak . Ah, he wasn"t injured, though . And he also doesn"t know what"s going on . "

Sheng Feilong paused for half a second, then added with a low murmur . " . . He probably hates me by now, though . I doubt Gu Yue ever explained it to him . . . "

Staring at him and noticing his saddened expression, Yuanen Yehui"s expression softened somewhat . "Why don"t you explain it to him, then . . ?" Sheng Feilong suddenly leaned back into his chair and scratched his head while showing an annoyed and conflicted expression . " . . . Master and I a.s.sume Shrek Academy is involved . And I don"t want to get Tang Wulin into trouble because of this . . . Honestly, the less he knows, the better . I don"t even know why I"m telling you all of this . "

Yuanen Yehui"s eyes widened slightly and she asked in a surprised voice . "Why would Shrek Academy be involved? Even if they were, they would help you, not send someone to kill you . " Sheng Feilong sighed once more, then showed a serious expression again . "Where else could Gu Yue get all this information? I was a member of the Spirit paG.o.da as well, so I know for a fact that they don"t have this kind of information . Even Daedalus, the organisation that is literally made of people with evil and dark Spirit Essences, didn"t have any information about the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon . "

He paused for a moment, both, Sheng Feilong and Yuanen Yehui, remaining silent in the meantime . " . . . I don"t know how Shrek Academy got their hands on that information, but considering that they even produced about a handful of G.o.ds in their 20 . 000 years of history, it isn"t too unbelievable . "

Yuanen Yehui hesitated for a while again . She glanced around to make sure that there was still no one listening in and then started to speak in a slightly lowered voice . " . . . I"m in a similar situation . " Sheng Feilong looked at her, frowning with a questioning expression . "I can"t tell you any details, but the Fallen Angel Spirit Essence is more special than how it appears . Shrek Academy is helping me with that, that"s why I don"t believe they would send someone to deal with you, even if they knew of your Spirit Essence . "

" . . . So you"re saying Gu Yue got this information from somewhere else?" Sheng Feilong"s frown deepened, now understanding what Yuanen Yehui meant . The latter nodded, causing Sheng Feilong some confusion once again . "But where could she possibly get that information? Tang Sect, maybe? No, wait, she"s not a member of Tang Sect . "

"I also don"t know, but I"m sure that Shrek Academy isn"t involved, and if they are, they"re definitely not the ones that sent Gu Yue and that Soul Douluo after you . " Yuanen Yehui spoke with certainty . She believed what Sheng Feilong told her, but she wouldn"t suspect Shrek Academy just because of it .

"Hm, what you"re saying sounds reasonably . I guess I need to have people do some digging . " A voice suddenly came from behind Yuanen Yehui and Sheng Feilong . Both of them flinched in shock and quickly turned around to face the unknown person, though theirs tiff expressions quickly relaxed . Sheng Feilong smiled, and lightly bowed his head . "Master, you surprised us . . . "

She Meixiao giggled lightly and walked over to their table, lightly sitting down next to them . "Sorry, I didn"t mean to . However, I mean what I said; I"ll have a few people investigate this matter thoroughly . " Sheng Feilong smiled lightly at her words, but Yuanen Yehui still seemed uncomfortable with She Meixiao sudden appearance .

The latter smiled lightly at her and spoke up with a soft voice . "Don"t worry, I already know about the Fallen Angel Spirit Soul"s specifics . If I recall correctly, it was a "Demon King", correct?" Yuanen Yehui"s body suddenly shook lightly, but she still nodded her head .

She Meixiao smiled in response again and continued speaking . "I also know that Shrek Academy will help you and your clan with that . Though . . . " She paused for a moment and glanced at Sheng Feilong and Yuanen Yehui before speaking up again . "With Feilong here, Daedalus might even be the better choice . . . You saw how the demon"s reacted to him . And although he"s still weak, relatively speaking, once it comes to the time you need help, he"ll probably be a t.i.tled Douluo already . "

She Meixiao"s smile suddenly widened as she continued to speak with sparkling eyes . "Honestly, even I don"t know just how powerful he"ll be then! Though it"s certain that the Netherworld Putrefaction Demon"s suppression of demons is absolute . From what he know, it"s actually the absolute bane of all demonic creatures . "

By now, Yuanen Yehui was obviously very uncomfortable talking about this matter; So much so that Sheng Feilong stepped in to stop She Meixiao . "Master . . . " The latter stopped speaking, and glanced at Yuanen Yehui before smiling gently again . "I"m sorry, I didn"t mean to make you uncomfortable . "

Yuanen Yehui remained silent, but nodded her head lightly . Before anyone started talking again, Yuanen Yehui slowly stood up and excused herself . She left just like that, stunning She Meixiao, who looked at Sheng Feilong with an apologetic expression .

However, Sheng Feilong onlylooked at her with a questioning gaze, then looked towards the direction where Yuanen Yehui . "Master . . . what was that about? What Demon King? And what does it have to do with Yuanen Yehui"s cultivation base?"

She Meixiao smiled faintly, but didn"t answer Sheng Feilong question . Instead, she asked one of her own . "Feilong, what would you think if I asked Yuanen Yehui to join us?" Sheng Feilong flinched, stunned by the sudden question . "Join us . . ? On the journey? But she"s with Shrek Academy . "

"I know . I just want to know what you think about her joining Daedalus . " She Meixiao spoke in a serious tone, the smile on her face gone . Sheng Feilong looked at her for a moment, then answered resolutely . "You said I"d be able to help her in the future . I don"t care about Shrek Academy, but if I can help her, then I want to do so . If she joined Daedalus, I . . . I"d be happy . "
