"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 . " Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
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 .
