A Bite of Douluo Continent

"In this segment, the sea goddess will come out to introduce herself, choose her favorite boy, and stand next to him."

Should I introduce myself...?

Yu Lianxin suddenly felt a little nervous. She looked up at Qi Han, who was staring at her in the distance, and wondered what was going on. After a moment, she had an idea.

“Hello, number one boy, I am Yu Lianxin, a famous dessert connoisseur, a top taster of late-night takeout, and the first prize winner of the barbecue competition. My hobby is…” Yu Lianxin smiled and winked at Qi Han, “eating the food cooked by someone.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Lianxin lifted her foot without hesitation and walked lightly to Qi Han's side in a few steps. Her pretty face was slightly flushed, and she said coquettishly, "Aren't you going to give me a seat?"

"Oh, oh." Qi Han, snapping out of his daze, nodded sharply and stood a little closer to the edge of the lotus leaf.

Yu Lianxin stood gently on the lotus leaf, her pretty face flushed. She quietly reached out a small hand and finally placed it in Qi Han's palm.

Seeing the two of them so affectionate, Ying Ruoruo's eyes were full of smiles. "After our predestined fate spans three lifetimes, we will begin the fifth stage, which is called a harmonious union for a hundred years."

"In this project, the man originally had to choose one of the women who chose him and accept the challenges from other competitors. However, due to the special circumstances of this Sea God's Fate, there will be no bride-snatching segment this time. So now, Qi Han, are you sure you want to choose Yu Lianxin to hold hands with?"

Qi Han looked at their hands, which were already clasped together, and smiled as he raised and waved them twice. "I'm sure."

"Well then, this Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event has come to an end. Congratulations to the two of you for successfully finding your match at Sea God's Fate! May you be together forever under the blessing of the Sea God!"

As Ying Ruoruo finished speaking, a new commotion suddenly arose on the shore of Poseidon Lake.

The students of Shrek Academy's inner court stood together on the shore, using their soul power and martial souls to create various dazzling colors that slowly intertwined in the sky, forming a huge painting.

The leader was Song Qiluo.

This young man, who had almost broken up with his lover during the Cold Food Festival but ultimately regained his happiness with Qi Han's help, had promised to repay Qi Han's kindness in the future.

His martial spirit is called the Radiant Mirror, which not only possesses immense power but also has the ability to create various dazzling lighting effects.

He's a natural lighting technician.

Upon learning of Qi Han's plan, the young man did not hesitate to offer to participate and immediately unleashed his full martial spirit.

Under Song Qiluo's control, the various colors in the sky became more and more three-dimensional, and the originally somewhat blurry shapes became clearer and clearer, until everyone could see the contents of the painting.

On a tranquil lakeside, countless glowing origami cranes circle a lotus leaf. On the lotus leaf, a man kneels on one knee and holds up a ring box to the girl in front of him.

This is…

Yu Lianxin's heart was surging with emotion. She stared blankly at the origami cranes that had somehow returned from around her beam of light to the lotus leaf at Qi Han's feet, forming a large fluorescent carpet. Looking at Qi Han, who was kneeling on one knee on the lotus leaf and slowly raising a small box in his hand, she couldn't help but cover her mouth, her eyes glistening with surprise and happiness.

Originally, she thought that the surprise Qi Han had given her would be over after this somewhat special Sea God's Fate ended.

Little did I know, this was just part of tonight's surprises.

The small box slowly opened, and a ring appeared before Yu Lianxin's eyes. The ring was exquisitely carved with a lifelike openwork decoration, resembling a butterfly about to take flight. On the butterfly's body, a gemstone overflowing with nine-colored brilliance made the entire night pale in comparison.

"Yu Lianxin, will you marry me?" Qi Han took a deep breath and asked in the most sincere tone.

"I…"

Yu Lianxin opened her mouth, but her voice choked with emotion.

Looking at her lover's familiar face so close to her, countless scenes of her time with Qi Han flashed through her mind.

It was his initiative to serve dishes and get closer to her every time.

It was his selfless act of risking his life during his own time of danger.

It refers to every street in Shrek City that he and I walked hand in hand.

It's a dessert he carefully prepares for himself every day, and it's never the same one twice.

These past scenes shone brightly at this moment, and Yu Lianxin's emotions surged even more.

Two lines of clear tears slowly fell down her beautiful cheeks, unrelated to sadness.

"I am willing."

Yu Lianxin's voice trembled, yet remained resolute.

Update postponed to 6 PM

I didn't sleep well last night, and I couldn't find my rhythm all morning. This afternoon...

Chapter 584 My Husband, You're So Good

The cool moon cast its light continuously upon the earth, and the canopy of the golden tree, which sparsely covered most of the Sea God Lake, shone down and was reflected in the clear, sapphire-like waters of the lake.

On the shore of Poseidon Lake, a man and a woman walked slowly side by side, eventually arriving at a lakeside area covered with blue silver grass. The blue grass, with its silvery sheen, shimmered under the moonlight, making it exceptionally beautiful.

Did you enjoy tonight's surprise?

Turning his head to look at Yu Lianxin, who was blushing and letting him hold her hand, Qi Han smiled and spoke.

"Yes!" Yu Lianxin nodded heavily, then lowered her head slightly again.

Qi Han slowly stopped, turned around, and gently took Yu Lianxin's hands, pulling her closer to him with a slight pull. Looking at the girl's shy appearance, he smiled and said, "What's wrong? You've been shy the whole way."

"It's just..." Yu Lianxin couldn't help but glance to the side, avoiding meeting Qi Han's burning gaze, "They were making a fuss just now..."

"So that's what it is." Qi Han was speechless, then his gaze couldn't help but fall on Yu Lianxin's lips, and he swallowed hard. "Want to kiss her again?"

"Huh?" Yu Lianxin turned her gaze back to Qi Han in surprise, but before she could open her mouth, Qi Han gently kissed her.

"Well…"

Feeling the familiar touch on her lips, Yu Lianxin's body tensed up subconsciously, but quickly relaxed. Her hands, which had been pressed against Qi Han's chest because of his sudden attack, slowly lowered and finally couldn't help but pass under his armpits, meeting behind Qi Han's back.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Yu Lianxin's face flushed slightly. "You...you just...you just stretched out..."

"What did you stretch out?" Qi Han asked knowingly.

"Hmph!" Yu Lianxin rolled her eyes, glared at Qi Han who was grinning mischievously, and then gently rested her forehead on his chin. "I still feel like I'm dreaming, Qi Han. I really love this surprise, I love it so much."

"I'm glad you like it." Qi Han wrapped his arms around Yu Lianxin's slender waist, lowered his head slightly, kissed her forehead, and asked with a hint of expectation in his eyes, "So, can I call you my wife now?"

"Isn't it...a bit too early?" Yu Lianxin couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "I haven't even married you yet!"

"That's not the point." Qi Han smiled, his lips, which had been pressed against Yu Lianxin's forehead, moved to one side and down, finally approaching Yu Lianxin's pearly earlobe, and murmured softly, "The point is, do you want me to call you that? Wife?"

"Mmm..." Warm breath brushed against Yu Lianxin's sensitive earlobe, and for a moment she felt a tingling sensation as if an electric current was flowing through her body. Her eight-ring cultivation level was completely powerless to resist, and she just leaned against Qi Han's arms.

“I…” Yu Lianxin opened her mouth, but felt her mind was floating, blank, and she even forgot the words she was about to say.

Only the blush on her cheeks became more alluring, slowly spreading towards the tips of her ears.

Watching Yu Lianxin's earlobe slowly turn from white to pink, and smelling the fragrance emanating from the beauty's neck, Qi Han felt a little thirsty and couldn't help but gently kiss Yu Lianxin's earlobe with his lips.

"Ah!" Yu Lianxin suddenly exclaimed softly. Her body, which had been half-lying in Qi Han's arms, now felt completely numb. She turned her head to look at Qi Han with a hint of resentment, her sea-blue eyes filled with tears. "Don't kiss me there!"

"Okay." Seeing the beauty's slightly embarrassed expression, Qi Han's face softened with a smile. He slowly raised his head, rested his chin on the top of Yu Lianxin's head, and hugged her tightly. "You haven't answered me yet, do you want to?"

Thinking of the embarrassing question Qi Han had just asked, Yu Lianxin's face felt like it was burning hot. She secretly pressed one cheek against Qi Han's chest, but found that this only made her cheeks burn even hotter.

She gently bit her lip, her voice trembling slightly, "I want to..."

"Wife!"

"Um…"

"Wife, wife!"

"Um…"

"Then what should you call me?"

"…husband…"

Qi Han smiled and kissed Yu Lianxin's lips. "Alright, wife, let's drink the water from the Sea God Lake together."

"Mmm!" Yu Lianxin's eyes lit up as she watched Qi Han magically produce two water glasses, and she nodded emphatically.

Soon, Qi Han gently scooped up two cups of clear Sea God Lake water, handed one cup to Yu Lianxin, and then drank the other cup in one gulp.

Ok…

He couldn't help but smack his lips.

It's alright, it tastes a bit like sweet mountain spring water.

His opinion was that the spring water given by Ruyi was not as delicious.

On the other side, Yu Lianxin took small sips of lake water, handed the cup to Qi Han, and said with a smile, "Husband!"

"I want to hear you call me again," Qi Han said with a hint of anticipation on his face.

"Alright." Yu Lianxin gave a "I really can't do anything with you" look and parted her lips slightly, "Old... um?"

Her eyes suddenly widened as she looked at Qi Han, who had suddenly attacked her, kissing her lips and wrapping his arm around her waist.

The next moment, the two of them lost their balance and fell onto the lakeside covered with blue silver grass.

After a long while.

Lost in thought, Yu Lianxin sat on the shore of the tranquil Sea God Lake, which was covered with blue silver grass. She gently rested her head on Qi Han's shoulder. Her rosy lips seemed slightly swollen than before, but they looked even more beautiful.

Yu Lianxin smiled, stroking the ring on her finger, and suddenly whispered, "Honey, when are we getting married..."

"This question..." Qi Han gently took Yu Lianxin's hand, the one with the ring, and gently kneaded it in his own, smiling as he asked, "What about two months from now?"

"Two months later?"

“Well, by then my public teaching will be over, and I won’t be so busy anymore, so I’ll have more time to spend with you.” Qi Han looked earnestly at Yu Lianxin’s profile. “I was even thinking of taking you to travel around the mainland after we get married.”

"Then...the Cold Food Festival won't be held?" Yu Lianxin gently raised her head and asked curiously.

"How could that be?" Qi Han smiled. "In this short period of time, besides preparing for public teaching, I've also been teaching Ye Lingqing cooking. I believe that in another two months, he should be able to learn all the dishes in Hanshi except for the three-star and four-star recipes. Even if I leave, Hanshi can still operate normally."

"Three-star and four-star?"

"Oh, these are the purple and black label dishes that diners talk about." Qi Han chuckled. "Actually, above them, there are five-star dishes, but even I don't know much about them."

"I see." Yu Lianxin leaned her head back on Qi Han's shoulder. "Then... can we go to lots and lots of places?"

“Yeah, wherever we go, I set up a small stall to sell food…” Qi Han turned his head and kissed Yu Lianxin’s cheek, “You, the boss lady, just stand there and eat, eat, eat.”

"Pfft." Yu Lianxin laughed and bumped her head against Qi Han. "If I eat it all, what's the point of selling it? Besides, I'm not that greedy!"
