Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 12 Engagement

After obtaining his second spirit ring, Ji Lin once again fell into an endless cultivation journey.

In the Douluo Continent, strength is paramount; without power, nothing can be accomplished. Moreover, Ji Lin possesses the ultimate attribute, which means his cultivation will slow down after level 30. Therefore, Ji Lin cultivates with great effort.

He even put aside his plans to learn about soul tools, focusing all his efforts on improving his cultivation and training his body.

Xu Jiujiu often called him a cultivation fanatic, and whenever he had the chance, he would force him to go out shopping.

He knew that Xu Jiujiu was worried that he was under too much pressure and would become mentally impaired from practicing martial arts. Every time Xu Jiujiu came to see him, he never refused, but instead made time to be with her.

Over time, their relationship grew closer. Once, Xu Jiawei jokingly teased them, saying that when Ji Lin grew a little older, he should start calling him "brother." Embarrassed, Xu Jiawei didn't visit Ji Lin for several days.

After that joke, Xu Jiawei realized something, so not long after, he found Chi Yuan and made a request.

"Your Majesty, I wish to arrange a marriage between Ji Lin and Jiu Jiu, so that they can officially marry after Ji Lin graduates from Shrek Academy. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Chi Yuan wasn't surprised. She had already seen through Xu Jiawei's plan. Otherwise, why would a princess of the Star Luo Empire be inseparable from Ji Lin every day? Xu Jiawei had no intention of interfering.

Ji Lin possesses astonishing talent; not only is he an ultimate attribute Soul Master, but he also officially broke through to become a level 30 Quasi-Soul Venerable a few days ago.

In addition, there is a teacher with unfathomable strength, Chi Yuan, behind him.

Therefore, in order to completely bind Ji Lin to the Star Luo Empire's war machine, Xu Jiawei not only provided Ji Lin with cultivation resources and knowledge, but also wanted to take a step further and become family with Ji Lin.

In addition, Xu Jiujiu and Ji Lin already had a close relationship, so Xu Jiawei's actions were not considered matchmaking, but rather helping others achieve their happiness. As for the age difference between the two, they did not see it as a problem. Title Douluo have long lifespans of at least several hundred years, and he was confident that both of them would become Title Douluo in the future, so the age difference was not significant.

"Let them decide this themselves. I respect Ah Lin's decision," Chi Yuan said, shaking her head.

Ji Lin wasn't opposed to the engagement with Xu Jiujiu. Xu Jiujiu was beautiful, had a sweet voice, a great figure, and a noble background. They were childhood sweethearts, and she was completely devoted to him. Who could refuse her?

As for Xu Jiujiu, she had no objections. Ji Lin was someone she had watched grow up. With his white hair, blue eyes, and handsome appearance, Ji Lin perfectly matched her aesthetic. In addition, Ji Lin's unparalleled cultivation talent and their long-term interaction had already made Xu Jiujiu fall for him.

In addition, given her position as a princess of the Star Luo Empire, she could bring together a top genius for the royal family, and she herself liked him, so she had no reason to refuse.

Soon, Xu Jiawei held an engagement ceremony for Ji Lin and Xu Jiujiu. The engagement ceremony was not grand and made public, after all, it was just an engagement, not a formal marriage. Only a small number of imperial nobles and titled Douluo from the Hall of Worship were invited to attend.

It's worth mentioning that Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger, who was eligible to attend the engagement ceremony, did not come because he was stationed on the western border of the Star Luo Empire, which borders the Sun Moon Empire. He couldn't spare the time.

Replacing Dai Hao was the Duchess of the Duke's Mansion. The original novel stated that this Duchess was the most beloved youngest daughter of the Star Luo Empire's emperor. Ji Lin thought to himself, "I must have been watching a pirated version of Douluo Continent."

Xu Jiawei's youngest daughter, Ji Lin, was someone he had met before. She was a blonde little girl even younger than him, named Xu Yun.

It is also a Star Crown Martial Soul that has been awakened. It is also the third Star Crown Martial Soul after Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu.

The engagement ceremony did not last long. This ceremony was only to introduce Ji Lin and his teacher, Chi Yuan Douluo, to the imperial nobles so that they would not offend the master and disciple in the future. It was also to allow Ji Lin to get acquainted with the most powerful people in the empire and to build connections.

After the banquet, Ji Lin and Xu Jiujiu returned to Ji Lin's room. Ji Lin's eyes lit up when he saw Xu Jiujiu kneeling on the bed after taking off her shoes.

Looking into Ji Lin's eyes, Xu Jiujiu smiled slyly. Knowing Ji Lin well, she knew exactly what he was thinking. She reached out and patted her black-stockinged legs in front of her, an incredibly alluring gesture. "Want it? If you want it, just say so, Princess. Please, give me your lap pillow."

"Princess, please rest your head on my lap." Ji Lin had no morals whatsoever in front of Xu Jiujiu. What are morals anyway? Can they compare to the fragrance of a lap pillow?

After saying that, Ji Lin couldn't wait to take off her shoes and climb into bed, resting her head on Xu Jiujiu's black silk thighs, looking very comfortable.

"So soft, (╯▽╰) smells so good~~"

Feeling Ji Lin rubbing his cheek against her thigh and breathing warm air, Xu Jiujiu's pretty face flushed slightly. She quickly reached out and pressed Ji Lin's head down to stop him from moving. Looking down into Ji Lin's sapphire-like eyes, Xu Jiujiu gradually became infatuated.

The atmosphere gradually became ambiguous. After a long while, she lowered her head slightly, looked into Ji Lin's eyes, pursed her red lips, and gently pressed her lips to Ji Lin's.

Ji Lin subconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked it, startled, and then raised his head like a frightened deer.

So soft, so sweet, so comforting. Ji Lin was lost in the memory for a moment; he would never forget that feeling for the rest of his life.

He was a virgin until his death in his previous life, and had never even held a girl's hand. When had he ever experienced such a wonderful touch?

Startled, Xu Jiujiu pushed Ji Lin away, her face flushed, put on her shoes, and ran away, leaving behind the words, "It's getting late, you should get some rest. I'll come find you again tomorrow."

He pushed open the door and disappeared.

Ji Lin, having left the gentle embrace of the world, finally realized what was happening. He had barely uttered a word when Xu Jiujiu's figure had already vanished.

"Damn it!" Ji Lin clutched his head in frustration, regretting it so much he felt like his guts were turning green.

He let such a good opportunity slip away. Even if he can't eat meat because of his age, he can still eat some vegetables!

Ji Lin rolled around on the bed in frustration, groaning, "Damn Xu Jiujiu, you kill him but don't bury him!"

"Phew, one day I'll take care of you, you little devil, and then I'll make sure you're free to kill me and not bury me."

Ji Lin let out a long breath and straightened his back. He then uttered a vicious threat.

After making those harsh words, Ji Lin touched his lips, savoring the feeling again. "Hehehe, so soft, so sweet."

The silly grin on his face made Chi Yuan, who was peeking through the air next door with her mental powers, twitch at the corner of her eye and look at him strangely.

She had no desire to admit that this shameful fool was her disciple.

With mixed feelings, Chi Yuan lightly touched her lips with her finger, her face full of doubt. Is this kind of thing really that comfortable?

Let's not mention the puzzled Chi Yuan or the grinning Ji Lin.

Back in her room, Xu Jiujiu quickly closed the door, kicked off her shoes, and pounced on her soft pink bed, burying her flushed, delicate face in the pillow.

"Aaaaaah! What am I doing?! Xu Jiu Jiu, you've gone too far!"

Our Princess Jiujiu was completely unaware of her actions of killing without burying the dead.
