While Huo Yuhao was being forced to study history, his companions also began their so-called Yin Yang Love Query one by one.
A gold and silver light screen rose, blocking everyone's sight. The golden light from before rotated rapidly, finally pointing to one girl after another.
The bubbles opened, and they floated in the air one by one.
Aphrodite's peaceful voice asked consistently: "Do you have a lover?"
"Yes." This was the answer of most people.
"Who is he (she)?"
"Huo Yuhao." Zhongli Yu and Ma Xiaotao, two women who had substantive relationships with Huo Yuhao, almost did not hesitate, while Cui Yajie and Meng Hongchen were somewhat shy.
When hearing that the object was Huo Yuhao, that voice instantly fell silent.
Ning Tian and the other two girls, who were still unconscious, naturally couldn't resist the God of Love Aphrodite's spiritual probe, but the lover option Aphrodite got from their memories was still Huo Yuhao.
Aphrodite was a little speechless. Was this kid so popular with girls?
The golden light continued to rotate. This time it stopped particularly fast, stopping before it even completed a full circle. The position it stopped at this time was Eldest Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan.
Looking at the changes around her, Zhang Lexuan appeared calmer than anyone else. She had been trying hard to release her martial soul. Although unsuccessful, she was not discouraged. Without a persevering character, how could she have been the strongest in the inner court back then? Even if the Dragon God Douluo Mu En had let her enter the Sea God's Pavilion with the intention of compensating her, in reality, Zhang Lexuan's own strength was the most important reason.
"Do you have a lover?" Aphrodite's calm voice suddenly appeared, causing Zhang Lexuan's eyes to focus.
"No." She answered without hesitation.
"Have you ever loved someone?" Aphrodite's calm voice sounded again.
"Yes." Zhang Lexuan remembered Huo Yuhao's words very clearly.
"Who is he?" The God of Love Aphrodite's calm voice asked again.
Zhang Lexuan took a deep breath and said, "Bei Bei."
"He is not here, right?" Aphrodite asked.
"No." Zhang Lexuan answered.
"Then does he love you?" Aphrodite's calm voice continued to ask Zhang Lexuan.
"No." Zhang Lexuan answered this question very affirmatively.
"How did you fall in love with him?" Aphrodite's calm voice asked quietly.
Zhang Lexuan was stunned for a moment. A faint self-deprecating smile appeared on her pretty face, but more than that, there was a trace of pain deep in her eyes.
"How did you fall in love with him? If you don't answer after three times, the punishment is death."
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Lexuan's mouth. This question undoubtedly ripped open the scar deepest in her heart.
"When I arrived at Shrek Academy, he was still very young. At that time, Shrek's Dragon God Douluo, Elder Mu, made me swear that in the future I would become his wife, take care of him, love him, and be his child bride..."
Zhang Lexuan, just like in the original timeline, detailed the agreement with Mu En back then, as well as the changes in her feelings for Bei Bei.
Perhaps because these words had been hidden in her heart for too long, in this strange, unknown world that even Titled Douluo couldn't contend with, Zhang Lexuan's floodgates opened, and she spoke all the words hidden in her heart for a long time. Immersed in memories, a faint self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Everything was but a deception, yet she had truly given her heart for it.
A look of pain appeared on Zhang Lexuan's face, and her voice choked up. The emotions that had been suppressed deep in her heart surged uncontrollably. For so many years, whenever she saw Bei Bei and Tang Ya together, her heart would ache terribly. And later, what hurt her even more was Tang Ya's disappearance. Since then, she felt that Bei Bei had changed. Precisely because she knew Bei Bei too well, her feeling was even deeper.
Zhang Lexuan hadn't tried to fight for him. After all, she was ten years older than Bei Bei! And Tang Ya and Bei Bei were the same age. How could she have a chance to compete?
So, Zhang Lexuan chose silence. She just watched him silently, from initial unwillingness to later giving up. Sometimes, she might have revealed something in front of Bei Bei, but she had never really asked him for anything. She just silently buried this feeling in her heart and treated that promise as an isolated island she would guard for life.
Even until the moment the two sides confronted each other, she forced herself not to look at him. She was afraid that once she looked Bei Bei in the eye, the hatred buried in her heart would dissolve.
One had to know, she was so outstanding. She had attracted countless male students in Shrek Academy. However, she rejected everyone's pursuit, just for that love in the bottom of her heart.
"Since you love him so much, and he doesn't love you, are you still willing to give for him?" Aphrodite's voice appeared again, and it seemed a bit cold.
Zhang Lexuan was silent for a moment, then raised her hand to wipe the tear stains from her face, and said firmly, "I am not willing."
"Why?" Aphrodite's voice was somewhat surprised.
Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes held only determination. "Because I have already made a blood oath. To avenge the extermination of my family back then, I must be the Demon King Huo Yuhao's woman."
"Mu En deceived me. What he valued was actually just my talent. If I continued to stay in Shrek Academy, my future achievements would definitely not be weaker than Elder Xuan's. Coupled with my obsession with Bei Bei, my whole life would be tied to Shrek until my value was completely exhausted."
"Then, does Huo Yuhao love you?" Aphrodite directly asked the most critical question.
Zhang Lexuan was stunned. This was a question she had never dared to think about.
Huo Yuhao had a peerless beauty like Zhongli Yu by his side, Xiaotao as his fiancée, and the admiration of four girls: Wu Feng, Ning Tian, Nan Men Yun'er, and Cui Yajie. The Ju Zi who appeared later was also trusted by Huo Yuhao. Compared to them, her advantage was not obvious at all.
"I don't know." Zhang Lexuan didn't even dare to hope for Huo Yuhao's favor. As long as Huo Yuhao could destroy the Tang Sect, she was willing to do anything.
"Then are you willing to give your life for Huo Yuhao?" Aphrodite got to the bottom of it.
"As long as he fulfills his promise to me, I am willing." Zhang Lexuan answered as if accepting her fate.
Aphrodite's voice seemed a bit bewildered: "Your values are very strange, and your view of love is even more incomprehensible, but your experience is indeed sympathetic. Sincere Heart First Pass, you pass."
Zhang Lexuan was stunned, and then she saw the light shield in front of her slowly rise, isolating everything around her again. It was just that at this moment, how could her mood be calm?
Golden light flickered, and the bubble wrapped Zhang Lexuan inside again. But when she regained consciousness, she found that she had obtained Wu Feng's perspective.
From the curiosity when first entering the academy, to the dispute over the residence bed, then the congratulations at the freshman tournament, and the more than half a year of time spent together, then embarking on the journey to Star Luo together, and finally winning the championship in the tournament, defeating the sun-never-sets Shrek...
She completely re-acquainted herself with the Demon King Huo Yuhao as Wu Feng.
Such a flamboyant personality, and a continent's number one prodigy with talent close to a demon, it would probably be difficult for a young girl like Wu Feng not to have her heart moved, right?
The sentence that left the deepest impression on Zhang Lexuan about Huo Yuhao was found in Wu Feng's memory. At that time, she, Ning Tian, Nan Men Yun'er, Cui Yajie, and Xie Huanyue were all studying in the outer court. Cui Yajie had once boldly poured out the sisters' heartfelt wishes to Huo Yuhao.
"Yuhao, if one day in the future you find that there are many girls who truly like you and are willing to give a lot for you, what would you do?"
At that time, Huo Yuhao was still slightly green. He revealed that familiar and cynical smile and replied:
"Personally, I think that if I also like those girls, I will hold their hands tightly!"
"In this world, why can't a man bravely respond to that feeling? If he can't even hold the hand of a girl who has fallen for him, he doesn't deserve to be a man."
"The stupidest behavior of a man is to do multiple-choice questions."
Finally, Huo Yuhao put his hands behind his head and said with a smile—
"A good girl's heart should not be let down."
