Chapter 150: Dou'er, I've come

Standing before the Sea God Pavilion, gazing at that towering ancient tree, at this moment, there were no other words; there was only a silence that went unspoken.

"What is he doing?" Inside the Sea God Pavilion, a pair of powder-blue eyes had not once left Su Yu from the very beginning.

"It's nothing, perhaps he is discussing some matters with Mu Lao..."

Xuan Lao did not say much more, turned around, and left the place.

After a long silence, in front of the quiet Sea God Pavilion, Su Yu sat quietly on the grass, eyes slightly closed.

It was not until late at night that one could faintly hear a voice: long time no see...

The next day.

Su Yu still did not see Wang Dong's figure; perhaps, when they met again, it would be at the Sea God's Fate.

On Sea God Island, Inner Court students dressed in red school uniforms gathered in twos and threes, heading toward the place where the Sea God Fate Blind Date Assembly was being held.

Strictly speaking, the current Su Yu was not yet an Inner Court student in the full sense, but given Su's outstanding contributions, he was permitted to enter the Inner Court without an examination.

The male students who had gathered were all on the shore, while the opposite side of the lake was a sheet of water mist, and nothing could be seen clearly; if Su Yu wanted to, he could even detect exactly how many people were on the other side and who those people were, but if he really did that, it would lose its meaning.

Just as everyone had finished gathering, a large ship slowly sailed over from the distance. On this ship sat the teachers of the Inner Court, as well as Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, Qian Duoduo, Cai Mei'er, and a group of others; it could be said that almost all of the academy's top brass were here.

To put it bluntly, if one were to wipe out everyone on this ship, the Three Great Empires would have no ability to resist the Sun Moon Empire's invasion again.

That said, however, apart from Di Tian, which fellow could kill everyone on this ship?

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, this Sea God Fate Blind Date Assembly—which could also be called Shrek's "If You Are the One"—officially began.

Everyone knew better than anyone how dull and boring life at the academy was; they were all nearly bored to illness, and for these hot-blooded youths, such a rare activity to win the heart of a beauty was simply an irresistible, fatal temptation.

The large ship did not sail toward them but stopped in the center of Sea God Lake.

Just at this moment, beams of light suddenly shot out from the lake water. As the light rippled, eighteen figures were the first to appear.

That's right, eighteen, because this time there was one more than in the original story: Ma Xiaotao.

Gazing at this scenery, which was like a beautiful painting, many students could no longer hold themselves back.

These eighteen beams of light were all pale gold, and in each beam stood a young girl in a long white dress. The eighteen girls were dressed exactly the same; from their appearance, one could not distinguish any difference at all.

Looking at this beautiful scene, for a moment, Su did not know why, but he could even feel the hormones radiating in the air.

When two white beams of light converged, two figures also appeared. Standing on the left was Bei Bei, dressed in a white long robe, and standing on the right was the eldest senior sister, Zhang Lexuan, dressed in a goose-yellow long dress.

After more than two years of not seeing her, the eldest senior sister was still as gentle and quiet as ever. Although Mu Lao's passing was a great blow to her, the eldest senior sister did not sink into despair because of it. In fact, Su Yu knew that her feelings for Mu Lao were no less deep than those of Huo Yu Hao and Bei Bei.

When everything was ready, Bei Bei's voice came from afar: "Sea God's Fate on Sea God Lake; ten thousand years of Shrek, a moment to pledge one's love. Welcome everyone to the shores of Sea God Lake on this beautiful night. The annual Sea God Fate Blind Date Assembly is about to begin."

"As the host of this grand event, I represent myself and the eldest senior sister in wishing all the Inner Court students present at today's Sea God Fate Blind Date Assembly that they may find their own loving home. At the same time, we also welcome the elders of the Sea God Pavilion and the teachers who have come to observe today."

"Here, I also represent the students in expressing our sincere gratitude to all the teachers; without your patient cultivation and help, we would not have today's achievements." After speaking, he placed his hand on his chest and gestured slightly toward the Ferry Boat.

Xuan Lao, as the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, also smiled slightly, nodded at Bei Bei, and raised his hand to signal that Bei Bei could continue.

One had to say, it was no wonder these old fellows were all living so vigorously; being able to see such a grand blind date assembly every year, how could they not be in high spirits?

Old in age but not in heart; as expected, you old fellows are all cunning foxes!

Bei Bei was truly worthy of being Bei Bei; he certainly possessed the brainwashing talent of a leader, and his words made many students begin to feel nervous.

"Next, please have all the male students participating in today's Sea God Fate Blind Date Assembly get ready. Shortly, forty beams of light will appear in the lake. The students closest to these Sea God Lake fairies will have priority in the first round; students further back may very well be unable to secure a suitable ranking in the first round."

"So everyone must pay attention. No matter what method you use, as long as you land on the water lily leaf where the light beam is located, you have occupied the spot. But you must absolutely not fall into the water, or you will be disqualified from this event."

Bei Bei's words were already very clear; everyone knew in their hearts what to do next.

"Everyone get ready, three, two, one."

"Start!"

Following Bei Bei's command, forty beams of light suddenly shot out from beneath the lake surface. These forty beams were divided into three rows, with one extra in the very first row; it was estimated that this extra one was added temporarily for Su Yu, otherwise, according to the calculations in the original story, there seemed to be only thirty-nine.

Just as Bei Bei's voice fell, everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and countless fragments flew out like water droplets, instantly appearing within a space of several tens of meters.

In the instant before everyone had even reacted, a figure moved across the fragments at an incredible speed. In just a few blinks, while others had only just departed, this figure had already appeared on the first beam of light!

"Who is that person? We don't seem to have ever seen him!"

Even the advantaged flying Soul Masters were left far behind by that figure. An unfamiliar Inner Court student was actually suppressing everyone at this moment, appearing on the first water lily with a speed that crushed everyone else. Just what kind of strength was required to achieve this level?

Of course, the other Inner Court students also displayed their own unique abilities, with dazzling Soul Rings appearing one after another, scrambling to fly toward Sea God Lake. For a time, all sorts of dazzling soul skills, Soul Guidance Devices, and martial souls appeared in succession.

He Cai Tou and Huo Yu Hao both landed in the first row, and in the middle positions at that.

As for Dai Huabin, he relied on his own strength to snatch a position in the first spot of the second row. It wasn't that his strength was poor, but that the Inner Court's strength was too great; after all, he had only recently been admitted to the Inner Court.

Others also found their own positions. Although this process had its share of joys and sorrows, one still had to look at Xu Sanshi, who was always known as a scoundrel.

Xu Sanshi, this scoundrel, was worthy of his reputation as a scoundrel. When an Inner Court senior was about to snatch a position toward the back of the first row, a strange fluctuation suddenly came, and by the time this unlucky senior reacted, he had already appeared in the second row.

"Senior, I'm sorry, I'll take your spot first." Looking at Xu Sanshi's scoundrelly smile, that senior could only helplessly stabilize his figure in the second row.

"Xu Sanshi, you guy!" This Soul Saint senior also sighed helplessly. If it weren't for the fact that the rules of the Sea God's Fate did not allow one to attack Xu Sanshi, Xu Sanshi would likely have been beaten into a "garlic-head turtle" by now.

It was fortunate that it was this moment; otherwise, whether Xu Sanshi could walk out of the Inner Court tomorrow would be a serious question. Whether it was a "shrinking turtle" or a "garlic-head turtle," he would have to choose one anyway.

"Senior, this is a matter of relying on one's own ability to begin with. Anyway, you know, out of three thousand weak waters, I only take one scoop to drink; everyone knows my goal, so don't anyone fight me for it!"

The most infuriating thing was that Xu Sanshi, this kid, got the benefit and still acted innocent, not forgetting to look back and mock him.

"Fine, you Xu Sanshi, with me here today, even if you succeed, I'll beat you into a shrinking turtle!"

Finally, Zhang Lexuan also smiled and said, "Alright, Sanshi, stop messing around."

After the male students heard the eldest senior sister's gentle voice, they all stood respectfully, fearing they would leave a bad impression on this eldest senior sister.

If there truly were a woman in this world so beautiful that one could not even harbor evil thoughts, then in the Douluo Continent, that would only be the eldest senior sister, Zhang Lexuan.

Perhaps when you were young, upon first seeing the eldest senior sister, you would harbor feelings of youthful, reckless infatuation for her, but once you shed your naivety, all that remained for this eldest senior sister would be respect and admiration.

This was the goddess of everyone in the Inner Court; this was the eldest senior sister, Zhang Lexuan.

After Zhang Lexuan's reminder, the tense atmosphere dissipated quite a bit.

"This first round requires your sincere cooperation. If you don't work hard, I'm afraid you won't even be able to see the girls behind; if that happens, I'm afraid you'll be at a disadvantage later. Bei Bei, start."

Zhang Lexuan's gaze swept over the many male students and finally fixed on Su Yu, a faint, imperceptible smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

Bei Bei also followed closely behind and said, "Since the Senior Sister has already spoken, I won't say anything more. The blind date event is divided into five segments; once you fall into the water, regardless of gender, you will be eliminated."

"Then please begin your first segment, 'Mutual Appreciation'."

After the Senior Sister and Bei Bei had successively added their explanations, it was announced that the first segment had begun.

"Su Yu, are you ready?" Bei Bei asked Su Yu, who was standing in the first position.

That's right, the figure who had appeared in the first position with the fastest speed was indeed Su Yu. One must know that as early as two years ago, Su Yu could already defeat Ji Juechen, and his strength two years later was on an entirely different level.

Even without relying on a Soul Guidance Device, Su Yu could behead the Six-Ring Soul Emperor Second Holy Spirit with a single sword strike, and after the Second Holy Spirit was killed, his head fell at the feet of the First Holy Spirit, and with even greater speed, Su Yu could strike the First Holy Spirit into a state of severe injury with a single punch. This kind of speed was something even a Soul Saint might not be able to surpass, not to mention that Su Yu had also utilized a soul skill.

The current Su Yu was wearing a black and white robe; although he was not wearing the Inner Court uniform, no one dared to question him.

In his long robe, a rare solemn expression appeared on Su Yu's face. Under the illumination of the light beam, he, who was already handsome, now possessed a somewhat otherworldly, immortal-like quality. Do not forget, this Su fellow's foundation in appearance was still very good, even though he had never relied on his face to make a living.

Su Yu nodded, then said, "No problem, let's begin."

Su Yu's right hand slowly opened, and it was as if invisible wind was condensing in his palm. He did not rush toward the young women on the opposite side, but instead slowly walked off the water lily, stepping onto the surface of the water step by step.

With every step he took, the water surface would ripple slightly, yet Su Yu did not sink. Just like that, Su Yu slowly arrived in front of Number Two.

He spoke slowly: "Although this fool of mine returned a bit late, I am not stupid to that extent, am I right, Dong'er?"

"Su Yu, you..." The voice of the Number Two girl trembled slightly; that round and jade-like tone made Su Yu feel his heart rate go out of balance.

"Dong'er, can you take off your bamboo hat for me?"

Under the gaze of everyone, Su Yu knelt on one knee and spoke to the Number Two girl in front of him who was called Dong'er.

"Wow, is, is this really Su Yu? How did he know? Who among you told him?" Even the scoundrel Xu Sanshi asked in surprise.

"No one did. Since returning, Su Yu has been sitting in front of the Sea God Pavilion the whole time. During this period, no one has gone to see Su Yu."

At this scene, even He Cai Tou was surprised; he had not expected that Su Yu actually knew about this matter.

"This, this, this..."

Huo Yu Hao had intended to use his Spirit Detection to help Su Yu reveal more bamboo hats, but under the current circumstances, it seemed that nothing was needed anymore.

"Of course you can..."

The Number Two girl did not hesitate in the slightest and pulled off the bamboo hat on her head. That peerlessly beautiful face, which had once stunned all living beings on the competition field, appeared before everyone's eyes. At this moment, everyone cast envious gazes.

Even with all the human beauties on this Sea God Lake, at this moment, in front of Su Yu, they could not compare to Wang Dong's every smile and every word.

She reached out her hand, grasped Su Yu's palm, and slowly pulled him up. Their eyes met, and in each other's gaze, perhaps just like by the Sea God Lake in the past, the wind, the mist, and you were all captured within.

"You hid it well, but although I am a bit slow and a bit stupid, I am not so stupid that I cannot distinguish who you are. The year I chose to return to the family was for the arrival of today. I have waited too long for this day. Dong'er, I like you..."

The moment Su Yu stepped onto the Sea God Lake water lily, he had long since discovered Wang Dong's figure. The reason he had to rush to be first was to let Wang Dong become the most dazzling goddess!

Not for any other reason, but because you are the person I, Su Yu, like, and you are my, Su Yu's, wife!
