Chapter 533: Spread the News to the World (3k)

Not long after Tang Wulin returned to the Sea God Pavilion, Huo Yutong also came back with Na'er.

Ya Li saw Na'er following them and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Star Dou Great Forest is not far from Shilake Academy, and its drastic change was noticed not only by the people of the Spirit Pagoda, but also by the strong ones of Shilake.

Therefore, after Ya Li sensed something was wrong, her first reaction was to go to Na'er's room and tell her not to run around.

But as soon as she arrived at Na'er's room, she discovered Na'er was missing, which really frightened her.

When she went to look for Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong and found that these two strong ones were also missing, she finally relaxed.

If only Na'er had disappeared, it would be likely that she ran out on her own or was captured by someone else.

But if Na'er disappeared together with those two, there is over a ninety percent chance that they took her away.

As for where they took her, this hardly needs thinking; in her understanding, only these two top experts, who even make Yun Ming feel ashamed, could cause such a commotion.

With these two around, Na'er is unlikely to encounter any danger.

Indeed, as she had thought, Na'er, who was brought back holding Huo Yutong's hand, was completely unharmed, obviously having faced no danger.

She asked curiously:

"What did you two go out to do? What happened in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Tang Wulin smiled and said:

"I went to talk with their leader, reached some agreements, and after Yun Ming finishes his closed-door cultivation, I can have him call a Sea God Pavilion meeting to tell you all the details."

"Good."

Although Ya Li was still curious in her heart, seeing that Tang Wulin did not want to say more, she stopped asking, took Na'er's hand, and walked toward her room.

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong also returned to their rooms.

Tang Wulin turned on the bathroom light, filled the tub with hot water, then sank his body into it, letting out a satisfied sigh.

With his strength, he now rarely feels fatigued, but today's events were truly too many; even he cannot help but feel somewhat mentally weary.

First he rushed to Shilake Academy, then fought Yun Ming, then learned the truth of the Silver Dragon King, and finally made a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Huo Yutong was fine, but Tang Wulin's actions in the Star Dou Great Forest truly drained his soul power; now not only his mind but also his body feels extremely exhausted.

Taking such a relaxing hot bath made him feel extremely comfortable.

"Today's events are really many..."

Tang Wulin muttered while recalling today's experiences.

Fortunately, things are more or less settled up to now; next, he can focus his attention on the upcoming wedding.

What needs to be prepared for the wedding?

Tang Wulin was recalling what his father had told him when he suddenly heard a creak, instinctively looked up, and his thoughts instantly stalled.

"Yu, Yutong?"

The one who opened the door was exactly the person he had been thinking about marrying, his fiancée Huo Yutong.

However, at this moment she had already taken off all her clothes, appearing ready to take a bath.

No, she was not preparing to take a bath.

The sound of water splashing came from his ears, and then Tang Wulin felt a soft body press against his side, two slender arms wrapping around and clasping his arms, his own arms touching the softest part.

His whole body instantly tensed up.

"... Yutong, what's wrong?"

The shyness arising in his heart and the strong Evil Fire rising all over his body made him dare not look at the girl beside him.

Although they had done this many times before, bathing together... was indeed the first time in his impression.

"This, this... is what my mother told me; she said that if I do this, you, Wulin, will then be happy."

Huo Yutong's voice sounded muffled and stammering as she buried her face in Tang Wulin's shoulder; obviously she was also very nervous.

Tang Wulin felt like crying but had no tears.

"Mom, during these days of my deep meditation, what have you been instilling into Yutong?"

He gave a light cough.

"In any case, Yutong, first release my hand, and we can talk properly."

If this continues, we might accidentally fire off.

Now it's already late; if we keep going like this, we won't be able to get up tomorrow morning.

However, a somewhat muffled voice came from Huo Yutong's side.

"No."

"Um, may I ask the reason?"

Huo Yutong refusing his request like this is truly rare; could it be that Lang Yue has been feeding her some wrong notions? For example, that hugging him like this would make him feel comfortable... no, that actually seems correct.

Tang Wulin felt his mind was extremely chaotic.

As a result, Huo Yutong's answer was unexpectedly proper.

"Be, because I don't want you to see my face right now; I feel my expression... will probably be awful."

"..."

Although the answer was proper, Tang Wulin found it even harder to endure.

Because upon hearing this answer, he subconsciously sensed Huo Yutong's condition, and then felt a small protrusion where her body met his arm, rubbing back and forth with their breathing.

She was also excited...

Tang Wulin's heart jumped violently, and then he steeled himself, reaching out to grab her from his side amid Huo Yutong's startled cry, lifting her up and placing her in front of him.

"Wu, Wulin..."

Huo Yutong's body began to tremble.

"Well, that..."

"Huh, what's wrong? This way you won't be able to see my expression, right?"

Tang Wulin smiled and asked.

"... Nothing." Huo Yutong shook her head and said no more.

But from Tang Wulin's perspective, although he couldn't see her expression, he could see her small ears completely flushed red.

As for why she turned red like that... Tang Wulin, who had placed her with ill intentions right in front of himself, knew best.

Between them, there was a moment of silence, with no further words, only the splashing water echoing in the bathroom.

Tang Wulin narrowed his eyes.

Being together like this with his lover was certainly nice, but having just been caught off guard by Huo Yutong like that, not getting revenge, Tang Wulin always felt a bit unsatisfied.

He leaned close to Huo Yutong's ear and softly called:

"Huo Yutong."

"Yah!"

Huo Yutong jumped in shock, her whole body trembling, and with a rub, her ears turned even redder.

She replied in a trembling voice: "What's wrong, Tang Wulin?"

Tang Wulin did not move away from her ear; over the years he had already figured out that her ears were extremely sensitive, and in this ambiguous environment, speaking close to her ear would be more effective.

He chuckled softly: "Do you know what I was thinking about before you came?"

"What... uh, what?"

Huo Yutong made a sound that sounded like a sob, asking in a coquettish voice.

Tang Wulin smiled: "I was thinking about how to give you a wedding that would make you incredibly happy."

"I'm already happy enough right now."

"Yeah, I know."

Tang Wulin increased the force in his arms, holding her tightly in his embrace.

"But we could be even happier, right?"

"... Mm."

Huo Yutong blushed and nodded slightly.

She softly said: "Then, as repayment, I will also give you some gifts in return."

Tang Wulin smiled helplessly:

"You've already given yourself to me, so there's no need for you to give me any gifts."

Huo Yutong pouted and let out a soft hum:

"It's what I want to give you, and it has nothing to do with whether you want it or not; besides..."

She raised her hand and grabbed Tang Wulin's hand in front of his chest.

"Compared to the era ten thousand years ago, in this era my influence and fame are definitely higher than yours, so I bet many of the people who come to our wedding will be trying to curry favor with me."

"... That's true."

This is quite interesting: in the era ten thousand years ago that belonged to the Spirit Ice Douluo, Tang Wulin, as the Sea God Pavilion Master, had a much greater reputation than Huo Yutong; but in this era ten thousand years later, Huo Yutong, as a senior from ten thousand years ago, is actually far more well known.

To put it bluntly, if she were to spread the news of her upcoming marriage, it would cause a sensation worldwide.

"Haha, then when we return to the era ten thousand years ago, the wedding there will be organized by me."

"Mm—"

Upon hearing his words, Huo Yutong was clearly very dissatisfied.

Tang Wulin smiled and asked: "What's wrong?"

Huo Yutong tightened her grip on his hand and said softly: "You've already given me too much; I don't want to receive anything more from you. Can't you just obediently take something from me?"

"Hehe, sure."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing those unexpected words, Huo Yutong instinctively turned her head to look.

But she fell into the trap of the big bad wolf lying in wait.

"Hmm? Mmm… hmm..."

The sound of splashing water rang out.

Since Huo Yutong said that, and Tang Wulin is certainly no saint who remains unmoved in the face of temptation, he naturally wouldn't let her go.

And so the night passed like that.

The next afternoon, Tang Wulin stretched and walked out of the room.

His wife didn't want to move, so she asked him to go out and bring back something to eat.

Tang Wulin walked toward Haishen Dao while pulling out his soul communicator and dialing a number on it.

Soon, the other end picked up.

"What's up?"

Tang Wulin smiled: "It's time to announce that I and Huo Yutong are getting married."

The other side fell silent for a moment, then said:

"It's earlier than I expected."

"We have to prepare in advance, and there might be unexpected changes, so it's best to do this as early as possible."

"Yeah, you're right."

After a soft sigh, Zang Xin said: "Anyway, I'll help you use the Tang Sect's connections to spread the news."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome. By the way, you're currently at Shilake Academy, right?"

Hmm, what's wrong?

Nothing much. Zhenhua got the news that you woke up and became very excited, wanting to see you again.

...... I see.
