Chapter 255 Standing by His Side

"Next, next, next, San Shi, it's your turn."

After one presentation after another, it was finally Xu Sanshi's turn, whose signboard number was seventeen. He was still somewhat nervous as he stood on his assigned lotus leaf.

Seeing Bei Bei's encouraging look, he nodded gently, and then his martial spirit possessed him.

Whoosh————

The Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield carried Xu Sanshi to Jiang Nannan like a skateboard riding the waves. His purpose was just as clear as Ning Wuque's, the only difference being that he really only came to make a final confession.

Standing next to Jiang Nannan, the latter took a slight step back, but fortunately the lotus flower was large enough to accommodate the two of them.

puff~
Suddenly, Xu Sanshi knelt on one knee in front of Jiang Nannan, his head bowed as he softly spoke the words he had kept hidden in his heart for months:

"Nannan... This is the last time I'm confessing to you. I've said so much to you before, so all I can say now is that I like you. I'm sorry, and I hope you can forgive me and give me a chance to make it up to you."

If you refuse me again this time… my family has been urging me to give up for four months, but I've dragged it out until now. If we part tonight, the next time we meet, I might be a prince in some distant land.”

"Is this a threat? Xu Sanshi, you're still the same as before... I hate you."

"No, Nan Nan, I just feel it's unnecessary now. What I said was just the truth. I hope you can choose me, so that I can still stand in front of you forever, just like before, with my body."

"...You've passed. Now you can go back and wait."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Nannan raised her foot with a cold face and gently kicked Xu Sanshi in the chest. The force was weak, just like when he protected her so fiercely back then.

Xu Sanshi suddenly raised his head, his eyes gleaming, and a smug smile spread across his face.

Oh yeah—!
"One minute has passed, San Shi, hurry up and get back."

"You brat, would it kill you to let Nan Nan and me stay a little longer?! Wu Que, remember to beat him up really hard later!"

"You think I, a Soul Saint, can't beat you, a Soul Emperor?"

"I surrender, I surrender, I'll get out of here, I'll get out of here, why are you so angry?"

With a smirk, Xu Sanshi summoned the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield and then slid back.

When he returned, everyone applauded and congratulated him. He'd really made it! He certainly ate his fill, and he's got real perseverance. You can't help but envy him.

Soon, the others introduced themselves one by one in the order drawn by lot, and this part of the activity quickly came to an end.

The boys went to Zhang Lexuan's side in order to fill in a number. When Ning Wuque came in front of Zhang Lexuan, he really wanted to punch her because of her grinning face.

But there was nothing he could do; he couldn't beat Zhang Lexuan. An eight-ringed red-ringed Soul Douluo with a top-tier Moon Martial Soul was truly overpowered; even most Title Douluos probably wouldn't be her match.

After filling in Wu Feng and Ning Tian's numbers, Ning Wuque eagerly returned to the lotus leaf, continuing to watch the two veiled figures, mentally rehearsing his prepared remarks. "Alright, now it's the fairies' turn to make their final choice. The fourth step involves the fairies introducing themselves one by one and then going to the man they desire."

As Zhang Lexuan spoke, her tone suddenly shifted, sounding somewhat regretful:
"Of course, if none of the gentlemen are with any girls during this segment, then I'm sorry~ you'll have to participate in the Sea God's Fate event again next time! Of course, if the fairies don't have a favorite gentleman, they can consider participating next time; maybe the junior students newly admitted to the inner academy will be their type~"

As Zhang Lexuan's teasing words fell, several older female trainees immediately puffed out their cheeks. Honestly, this blatant mockery after eating was really annoying.

Zhang Lexuan's affair has spread among her girlfriends. An old cow eating young grass, how shameless!

Soon, Beibei took over and announced the start of the fourth segment:
"Alright, let's start from left to right, with Fairy Number One beginning with her self-introduction."

As his words fell, an older female student moved the lotus flower beneath her feet forward slightly, then released her martial spirit and began to introduce herself.

Before long, she came to the side of a young boy who was six or seven years younger than her. Her wolfish eyes made the latter a little frightened.

Standing still, Ning Wuque watched as one girl after another introduced themselves. Some chose their favorite boys, while others remained in place without moving.

For example, her old teammate Ling Luochen was one of them. She didn't fancy any of them. The only ones she liked were either already in love with someone else or weren't even in the academy.

No, she didn't have much of a chance either.

Soon, with one female student after another appearing, they quickly arrived at Wu Feng's side.

She manipulated the lotus flower beneath her, slowly drifting towards Ning Wuque, speaking softly along the way, her purpose quite obvious.
"Wuque, don't let me down!"

Ning Wuque did not respond to this. Instead, he watched her slowly walk to his left and stand down. She lifted her foot and gently placed it on his lotus leaf. She was not too presumptuous and simply took his hand.

After the witch's wind, it was time for peace.

Compared to Wu Feng, Ning Tian appeared very quiet. She simply controlled the lotus flowers beneath her feet to come to Ning Wuque's side, gently stepped down, took her hand, and lowered her head slightly, anticipating the final confession.

She had waited for this day for far too long, and had imagined countless sweet words that Ning Wuque would say to her.

Most importantly, their wedding was on the third day after the Sea God's Fate. She was really looking forward to hearing Ning Wuque say something that would make her feel perfect and without regrets, so that she could enjoy the most beautiful moment of her girlhood before becoming a woman.

Soon, as the two arrived at Ning Wuque's side, the fourth stage continued.

When it was Jiang Nannan's turn, she coldly manipulated the lotus flower to come to Xu Sanshi's side, pretending to be reluctant, and gently offered him her left hand. Then, under his playful smile, she took his hand and stood on a lotus leaf.

Thus, the entire fourth round came to an end, and we arrived at the most exciting fifth round!

"Alright, let's move on to the last segment and be ready to send our blessings to the couples who will be happily married in the future. I've taken a quick look around, and surprisingly, apart from our fickle Wuque, there isn't a single fairy with any competitors in this year's Sea God's Fate contest."
