A Bite of Douluo Continent

“The female students who can enter Shrek Academy’s inner court are all the most talented, and naturally each has their own unique temperament.” Qi Han gave an ambiguous answer, and then quickly changed the subject, “A few days ago, your sister took you to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a spirit ring. You should be level 41 by now, right? With your cultivation talent, you should have no problem reaching the fifth ring and entering the inner court within two years.”

"Mmm!" Yu Zhifeng nodded, stopped asking questions, and looked expectantly at the Sea God Lake.

Seeing that his brother-in-law had no further questions, Qi Han finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Very risky.

Without keeping everyone waiting too long, a large ferry adorned with dazzling lights departed from Poseidon Island in the center of Poseidon Lake and headed this way, eventually stopping somewhere on the lake.

Nineteen golden beams of light shot into the sky amidst gasps of countless people. Under the radiance, nineteen girls, wearing the same dresses and standing on lotus leaves, their faces concealed by straw hats.

Although their faces cannot be seen, their graceful figures alone are enough to amaze one.

As the beam of light rose, a beautiful figure in a white dress flew into the sky, a bright smile on her face as she spoke.

"Love blossoms on the shores of Poseidon Lake. Welcome to the shores of Poseidon Lake on this beautiful night. The annual Poseidon's Fate Blind Date Event is about to begin. I am the host of this grand event, Yu Lianxin from Shrek Academy."

"I wish all the students from the Inner Court who are attending the Poseidon's Fate Blind Date Event today will find their own love and happiness. At the same time, I also welcome everyone who is here to witness the event today."

"Now I declare the Sea God's Fate Tournament to begin!"

In just a few words, whispers broke out on the viewing platform. Only a few people had actually seen Yu Lianxin, the former senior sister of the inner court. Most people had only heard of her. Now, seeing Yu Lianxin's stunning face, many people couldn't help but whisper about whether this beautiful woman had someone she liked.

With Qi Han's cultivation level, the whispers among the crowd around him naturally did not escape his ears.

Hearing these sounds, he couldn't help but smile.

Isn't it beautiful?

This is my boyfriend!

Qi Han's gaze remained fixed on Yu Lianxin from the moment she appeared, never shifting even slightly.

As if sensing something, Yu Lianxin looked over in this direction. When she met Qi Han's gaze, her face flushed slightly, making her even more beautiful and charming.

"Now, all male participants in today's Poseidon's Fate Blind Date Event, please get ready, something will be happening shortly..."

After calming herself down, Yu Lianxin began to preside over the ceremony according to the procedures of the Sea God's Fate.

...

The Sea God's Fate event has many procedures and therefore lasts a long time. However, because the entire matchmaking event is very compact and the disciples' display of their strength is very interesting, no one finds it boring.

Even so, Qi Han's gaze remained fixed on Yu Lianxin, and he couldn't help but think about a question he hadn't considered during the last Sea God's Fate.

She must be very tired after hosting for so long, right?

So after the Sea God's Fate event ends, I shouldn't delay the surprise I prepared for Yu Lianxin for too long. Once she agrees, I should let her go and rest.

Speaking of which, Yu Lianxin should agree to it, right...?

Qi Han suddenly felt a sense of uncertainty and tension.

After all, he never mentioned this matter in order to give Yu Lianxin a surprise, not even to Yu's parents or Yu Zhifeng.

What if you've planned and prepared so much, but Yu Lianxin disagrees...?

Yu Lianxin's gaze happened to be looking in Qi Han's direction. After exchanging a glance with Qi Han, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.

Seeing Yu Lianxin's smile, Qi Han felt a slight sense of relief.

I think so.

No, it definitely will!

Just as Qi Han was struggling with his thoughts, a large, kind hand patted him on the shoulder.

The next moment, a figure leaned against the railing beside him and whispered, "Xiao Qi, what are you thinking about?"

"Uncle?" Qi Han blinked and looked at Yu Qinghong, who had appeared beside him at some point. "I wasn't thinking anything."

“I guess you’ve prepared something, right?” Yu Qinghong suddenly asked.

"Uncle, how did you know that?" Qi Han's expression was somewhat surprised.

He never revealed that.

"It's just a man's intuition," Yu Qinghong smiled. "You've looked unusually tense ever since you arrived here."

“Today is a special day for the Sea God at Sea God Lake.” Yu Qinghong looked at Yu Lianxin, who was standing quietly in the sky, and smiled slightly. “So, I guess you must have something you haven’t said.”

"Yes." Qi Han nodded gently, glanced at Yu Qinghong beside him, took a deep breath, and whispered, "Uncle, I want to propose to Lianxin."

Yu Qinghong's hand, which was supporting the railing, trembled slightly. His expression first showed surprise, then became complicated, and finally he sighed with relief, "This is somewhat unexpected."

"Uncle doesn't agree?" Qi Han asked nervously. "Is there anything I'm not satisfied with? Please tell me, and I'll definitely change it."

"No, no," Yu Qinghong breathed a sigh of relief. "I have no complaints, it's just..."

He turned to look at Qi Han, his expression turning serious. "Have you thought this through?"

"Yes." Qi Han nodded heavily, his voice not loud but full of determination, "I've made up my mind. I want to spend the rest of my life with Lianxin, through thick and thin, and spend this life together."

"You've got a good way of talking, kid." Yu Qinghong shook his head. "Since that's the case, then go ahead. If Xin'er agrees, we naturally have no objections."

“But I’m a little worried that Lianxin won’t agree.” Qi Han coughed lightly, his expression becoming somewhat strange.

“I see, no wonder you were so nervous.” Yu Qinghong suddenly realized, then patted Qi Han on the shoulder, “Xin’er is like her mother, very firm in her feelings, once she has decided on someone, she will not let go.”

Hearing his future father-in-law say this, Qi Han felt a little relieved. "Uncle, I understand."

...

"All good things must come to an end. This year's Sea God's Fate event at Sea God Lake has now come to a close. Let us give a warm round of applause to every couple who successfully paired up at this event. They will now drink from the waters of Sea God Lake and become lovers under the blessing of the Sea God."

Amidst enthusiastic applause, Yu Lianxin breathed a slight sigh of relief.

This time, the Sea God's Fate has come to an end.

Her gaze unconsciously drifted towards Qi Han's direction.

Having witnessed so many younger students fall in love, she couldn't help but think of Qi Han and wanted to see him right now.

However, when she looked over this time, Qi Han was no longer there; only Yu's parents and Yu Zhifeng remained.

Where is Qi Han?

Yu Lianxin blinked, somewhat puzzled.

Did you leave early because of something?

She was thinking to herself, and was about to land back on the ferry, when she saw a figure rise into the air.

"Teacher?" Yu Lianxin blinked. "What are you doing here?"

Ying Ruoruo chuckled softly, "Girl, don't go back to the ferry yet."

"Then where should I go?" Yu Lianxin asked subconsciously.

"Over there." As if by magic, Ying Ruoruo took out a bamboo hat and gently placed it on Yu Lianxin's head. The light veil slowly covered her stunning beauty. On the originally dim lake surface, a golden light shot into the sky, revealing an empty lotus leaf. "Go there, that is where you should settle down."

“This is…” Having presided over so many Sea God’s Fate ceremonies, Yu Lianxin was extremely familiar with the scene before her. Almost instantly, she turned her gaze to the opposite shore of the lake.

Regardless of whether they successfully paired up or not, the academy's disciples did not leave, but instead surrounded one person and slowly walked towards the shore of the Sea God Lake.

"Hmm?" Upon seeing that person, Yu Lianxin's eyes, hidden beneath her bamboo hat, suddenly lit up with immense surprise, and she looked directly at the pillar of light without hesitation.

Her hands began to tremble involuntarily at that moment.

No, not just her hands, her whole body was trembling slightly with excitement.

Qi Han... had never told her this before.

In just a moment, Yu Lianxin realized what was happening.

Why would the teacher suddenly ask me to host this Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event?

Why is this year's Poseidon Blind Date Event, unlike the last one, still open to people outside the school?

Did he do all of these?

In just a moment, Yu Lianxin's heart was filled with happiness.

Standing in the air, quietly watching her extremely nervous disciples below, Ying Ruoruo felt a smile in her heart.

Looking at her disciple's appearance, she couldn't help but recall when she was young and met Qi Po-xiao at the Sea God's Fate.

Ying Ruoruo sighed inwardly. On such an important day, Qi Poxiao was not here.

Last night, he and Tang Qianqiu suddenly left because of an urgent matter. Although Ying Ruoruo only heard Qi Poxiao say a few words, she knew how important this matter was.

Has a completely new continent appeared?

Since this happened on the eve of the Sea God's Fate, Ying Ruoruo had no choice but to keep it a secret for the time being and discuss it with the other elders after the Sea God's Fate was over.

Suppressing her thoughts, Ying Ruoruo spoke loudly, "Now, all the men participating in today's Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event, please prepare yourselves and rely on your own abilities to stand on the lotus leaves within the pillar of light in the center of the arena. Falling into the lake will be considered a disqualification from continuing!"

As the words fell, another beam of light shot into the sky from the arena.

Two beams of light reflected off each other, their golden rays mirroring the clear surface of Poseidon Lake. Specks of moonlight fell, illuminating the other lotus leaves, large and small, on the lake's surface.

Yu Lianxin's hands clenched slightly.

Even though reason told her that Qi Han, with his seventh-ring strength, couldn't possibly be stumped by such a small test, she still felt a little flustered.

What if Qi Han falls into the water...?

He needs to be careful...

On the opposite side, Qi Han stood on the shore, gazing intently at the girl who stood quietly on the lotus leaf, her face hidden by a bamboo hat.

Even if he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, he knew that it was his lover.

Now, he finally has the confidence to stand in front of her and tell the whole world that they are together.

"Go, Boss Qi!" shouted the students from Shrek Academy's inner court from behind.

Each of them had enjoyed various delicacies at the Cold Food Festival, and their cultivation levels had greatly improved under the influence of the purple-plated dishes. Although they paid for the meals, the amount they paid was far less than the improvement they gained. Therefore, each of them felt grateful to Qi Han.

Standing opposite them was the former senior sister of Shrek Academy, their most respected senior sister. Seeing Yu Lianxin find her own happiness, they were also extremely happy.

"Mm." Qi Han nodded emphatically, looked at someone among the inner academy students, and after receiving the same look from that person, he felt reassured and stepped into the Sea God Lake.

One step, two steps…

Without any fancy techniques, Qi Han's every step was precisely placed on a lotus leaf. His refined power allowed him to control his strength precisely, and with each step, the surrounding lake surface only rippled slightly.

In just a few steps, he was standing in the pillar of light, his eyes filled with love as he looked at the girl who was also standing in the pillar of light not far away.
