A Bite of Douluo Continent

This is a...

A love story between two people, a destiny with the sea god!

Please take one day off.

I went on a spring outing and didn't have any drafts saved up. I'll take this opportunity to outline the last dozen or so chapters; the story is almost finished.

Chapter 583 I Do

"Sea God's Fate at Sea God Lake, tonight is the annual Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event!" Ying Ruoruo announced loudly. "This year's event consists of five parts. Let's move on to the first part: Mutual Appreciation!"

"Next, please have the man step forward and remove the sea goddess's hat, so that the sea goddess can reveal her true face!"

These opening remarks had just been spoken by Yu Lianxin at the Sea God's Fate event not long ago. Now, the speaker was Ying Ruoruo, but the content was not shortened at all.

She was using this method to make her disciple's special connection with the sea god more ceremonial.

Standing quietly on the lotus leaf, enveloped by the golden beam of light, Yu Lianxin's face, hidden beneath the light veil of her bamboo hat, was flushed.

She was very familiar with her teacher's words. She had spent ten years in the inner courtyard and had heard them more than ten times, and many of those times she had said them herself.

But now, at this moment, when she is no longer the host of the Sea God's Fate Ceremony, but a Sea God Fairy waiting for her beloved, these words seem to have a different feel to them.

She was a little shy, yet also subtly expectant.

A pair of hands, hidden within the wide sleeves of her dress, clenched quietly at that moment.

Although she had already established a relationship with Qi Han, having her veil lifted by him in such a setting held a special meaning for Yu Lianxin.

So... how will he take his straw hat away?

Yu Lianxin thought to herself silently.

Upon hearing Ying Ruoruo's words, Qi Han couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He was present at the last Sea God's Fate event, so Qi Han was familiar with the process.

In fact, to ensure the success of this marriage proposal, he made preparations and arrangements in advance for every aspect of the Sea God's Fate.

So, after Ying Ruoruo finished speaking, he gently lifted his foot and stepped out from among the lotus leaves.

As if walking on flat ground, Qi Han walked easily on the lake surface.

After all, he was a seventh-ring expert, and his own strength was enough for him to do this.

However, that's not enough.

Countless origami cranes, glowing with fluorescent light, appeared out of nowhere. The bottoms of these origami cranes were folded into the shape of paper boats, allowing them to float lightly on the water.

The origami cranes seemed to regard Qi Han as their leader, following him in unison. With each step Qi Han took, they floated slowly but steadily toward Yu Lianxin's direction.

From a distance, it looked as if a fluorescent tunnel had formed behind Qi Han.

One step after another.

Qi Han stared intently as the beautiful figure before him gradually magnified in his vision, the distance between them growing closer and closer until he finally stood before Yu Lianxin.

Along the way, the glowing origami cranes eventually connected the two beams of light.

“There is a legend in my hometown.” Qi Han did not directly try to remove Yu Lianxin’s hat. He spoke softly, his voice full of tenderness and love, “Legend has it that the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Palace has a granddaughter named Weaver Girl. She is skilled at weaving and weaves colorful clouds for the sky every day.”

"But later, she gradually grew tired of this monotonous life, so she secretly descended to the mortal world and married a mortal named Niulang. They lived a life of farming and weaving. This angered the Jade Emperor, who captured the Weaver Girl and brought her back to the Heavenly Palace. He ordered them to separate and allowed them to meet only once a year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, separated by the boundless river."

"Their steadfast love moved the magpies, so every year on that day, countless magpies fly over and form a magpie bridge across the Milky Way, allowing the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to meet on the Milky Way."

At this point, Qi Han's expression became slightly embarrassed, "I don't know how to fold magpie folding, so I folded a thousand paper cranes instead."

"Pfft." The quiet beauty couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. "You... folded all of these?"

“Yes.” Qi Han nodded. “Every single one of them.”

The tens of thousands of origami cranes between the two were all made by Qi Han in the training space while rushing to meet the deadline.

Yu Lianxin felt a surge of emotion. Looking at the countless origami cranes before her, she gently bent down and scooped one up from the lake.

"Huh?" Yu Lianxin paused slightly, then carefully unfolded the origami crane, which turned into a piece of white paper with a fluorescent glow.

"I like you, not just sweet talk, but what I really feel."

Looking at the familiar handwriting on the white paper, Yu Lianxin's hand trembled slightly. Following the steps she had just taken, she carefully folded the white paper back into the paper crane and placed it back on the lake. Then she picked up another one and gently unfolded it.

"Having you is my blessing."

One more.

"Seeing you once can keep me happy for a long time."

One more.

"Your good and bad are just right in my eyes."

She unfolded one origami crane after another, and the familiar handwriting inside imprinted each sentence on Yu Lianxin's heart.

Until a certain moment, Yu Lianxin, who was immersed in these origami cranes, lowered her head again. Her straw hat, which had loosened with each bow, quietly fell onto the lake, creating ripples and revealing her already flushed face.

"So beautiful." Looking at the beauty before him, Qi Han couldn't help but murmur.

Yu Lianxin gently raised her head and stared at Qi Han intently. "You wrote all of these origami cranes?"

“Yes, every single one is different,” Qi Han boasted with a touch of childishness.

"Well... I'll have to keep these origami cranes after this is over," Yu Lianxin muttered to herself.

"Okay, they're all yours." Qi Han smiled and snapped his fingers lightly.

The magpie bridge that originally connected the two pillars of light quietly spread and surrounded the pillar of light where Yu Lianxin was, eventually enveloping the lotus leaves at Yu Lianxin's feet layer by layer. The fluorescent light and the moonlight shining down reflected each other, and even the pillar of light seemed a little dimmer at this moment.

"Then I'll go back and prepare for the next step." Qi Han winked at Yu Lianxin and started walking towards his own pillar of light, glancing back every few steps, with a silly grin on his face.

My girlfriend is so beautiful.

Hehehe…

Only after Qi Han returned to his pillar of light did Ying Ruoruo, with a smile on her face, slowly speak, "Next is the second round, Love at First Sight. The rules are simple: the Sea Goddess will receive a switch that can control the soul guide lamp beneath her. She will decide whether to light up the lamp for the man."

"If the male participant receives the Sea Goddess's lantern, he can stay here to participate in the next part; otherwise, he will have to leave this event."

After saying that, Ying Ruoruo flicked her wrist, and the controller for the light under Yu Lianxin's feet landed in her hand.

"Countdown: 10 seconds."

"ten…"

"Nine…"

"eight…"

Qi Han felt a little nervous.

Although he knew very well that there was zero chance that Yu Lianxin, who was already his girlfriend, would turn off her light at this stage.

But when it really came down to this stage, he still felt a bit anxious.

Despite the great distance, Yu Lianxin's cultivation level still allowed her to clearly see Qi Han's expression.

She couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

That idiot.

She was his girlfriend.

How could they possibly turn off his light?

What's there to worry about?

Looking at the origami cranes surrounding her, and recalling the legend Qi Han had just told her, Yu Lianxin's eyes lit up with a bright smile.

Then let me be the Weaver Girl for once.

Before Ying Ruoruo's countdown could end, Yu Lianxin lightly raised her hand and threw the controller in her hand into the Sea God Lake without hesitation.

The countdown abruptly stopped, and Ying Ruoruo's expression became slightly strange.

The situation where Yu Lianxin simply threw away the controller is unprecedented in Sea God's Fate.

However, this destiny with the Sea God is a destiny that belongs only to the two of them, so what does it matter if there are some differences?

Thinking of this, Ying Ruoruo smiled and said, "Sea Goddess Fairy has dropped the controller and given up turning off the lights. In that case, congratulations to the man for passing the second round! Next, we will enter the third round, love at first sight."

"The man has one minute to introduce himself. After the introduction, he should give the number of the sea goddess he likes."

Although only Qi Han and Yu Lianxin participated in the Sea God's Fate event and had no other choice, the process still had to be followed.

Upon hearing this, the lovers, gazing at each other from afar, simultaneously revealed strange expressions.

Should I introduce myself?

Qi Han was somewhat prepared in this regard.

He cleared his throat and spoke loudly, "Hello, Fairy Sea God No. 1, I am Qi Han, the number one food-grabbing champion in kindergarten, a licensed driver on Happy Planet, a well-known daydream research expert, a top VIP of the procrastination club, and an unknown, annoying contestant. My hobby is cooking."

Ying Ruoruo: "..."

All audience members: "..."

"Pfft!" Yu Lianxin couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

What kind of self-introduction is this?!

That idiot…

But... it feels so interesting.

And this scoundrel is such a good cook, yet he claims it's just a hobby?

Could this be considered the Versailles he had told himself before?

whee!

After shamelessly introducing himself, Qi Han coughed lightly, "My favorite Sea Goddess is the Number One Sea Goddess."

“Okay.” Ying Ruoruo looked at Yu Lianxin, who was standing alone on the Sea God Fairy’s side. “Then let’s move on to the fourth stage. After love at first sight and love at second sight, the next stage is called destiny across three lifetimes.”
