A Bite of Douluo Continent

"What are you all doing here..." Qi Han's expression was somewhat blank as he stared in astonishment at the familiar figures before him.

He remembered most of them.

Among the crowd were almost all diners of the Cold Food Festival, and even some cooking enthusiasts who had come from all over the mainland for the public teaching session a while ago.

Haven't they gone back yet?

Qi Han couldn't help but feel this question welling up in his mind.

He knew nothing about this.

"Boss Qi, thank you for everything you've given us!" Daen led the group out. He was completely different from the man who had almost lost his composure at the Hanshi Restaurant because of a dish of bursting fatty intestines. Dressed in a tuxedo as if he were attending a grand event, he was now a refined middle-aged gentleman. "Without you, none of us would have eaten those incredibly delicious foods."

“So, now it’s time for us to express our gratitude.” Dan took off his hat and placed it against his heart, bowing slightly to Qi Han.

"Excellent!" Tang Zi laughed and walked out from the other side of the road. "Knowing that Boss Qi was getting married, I came all the way from Tiandou City. I couldn't miss such a grand event!"

"We Tang Clan disciples eat Hanshi meals every day, and we should also thank Boss Qi." Behind him, Zhou Long walked out laughing, followed by many disciples dressed in Tang Clan uniforms. "Don't worry, Boss Qi, there will be Tang Clan disciples maintaining order all the way from here to the gate of Shrek Academy. We will ensure that Boss Qi's wedding does not have any problems."

"And us too!" Ye Haoran also stepped forward at this moment, wearing the green uniform of Shrek Academy's outer courtyard, with a smile on his face. "All the students of Shrek Academy's outer courtyard are here. This time, for Boss Qi's wedding, all the students of Shrek Academy will be here to offer our blessings to Boss Qi!"

"You..." Looking at the various figures in front of him with smiles full of blessings, Qi Han felt a pang of sadness in his eyes.

He really liked everyone's gift.

Taking a deep breath, Qi Han spoke loudly, his voice spreading in all directions with the amplification of his soul power, "Thank you everyone! I'm off now!"

"Wishing Mr. Qi a happy marriage and the joy of winning his beautiful bride!"

On the long street, tens of thousands of people spoke in unison, their voices reaching the clouds.

"Zhuiyun, let's go!" Qi Han gently patted Zhuiyun's shoulder, and they galloped on horseback along the long street paved with flower petals.

Riding high on the spring breeze, the horse gallops swiftly.

Chapter 591 Lianxin, I'm Here

"Hiss!"

The speed of the cloud-chasing creature gradually slowed down, and the wind it stirred up stirred up the soft petals on the ground, leaving a rain of petals wherever it passed.

As the magnificent gates of Shrek Academy drew ever closer, finally coming into view, the colorful petals that had been laid out all the way from Hanshi ended there.

"Zhuiyun, stop." Qi Han said softly, his gaze fixed intently on the interior of Shrek Academy, as if his eyes were trying to pierce through the countless buildings of the outer courtyard and directly see the island in the center of Sea God Lake.

As Zhuiyun stopped at the gate of Shrek Academy, Qi Han dismounted and looked at the Hanshi group following closely behind him, a smile appearing on his face. "Let's go in together."

"Yes!" Everyone's face was filled with strong anticipation.

Even the Qin sisters and Keke, who had always stayed at the Hanshi Star Luo City store, had witnessed their boss's affection for Yu Lianxin during the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

Everyone knows that Qi Han has always liked Yu Lianxin.

Now that this relationship has finally blossomed, the shop assistants are also happy for Qi Han.

Having already informed the gatekeeper, Qi Han was not stopped at all when he entered Shrek Academy. The seemingly ordinary old man, who possessed the strength of an eighth-ringed expert, even had a maternal smile on his face. After all, he had stopped Qi Han many times in the past three months and witnessed every meeting and parting between Qi Han and Yu Lianxin at the Shrek Academy gate.

"Boss, this way." Fuya pointed to a spot and said with a smile.

Knowing that Qi Han must be very anxious, Fuya and Ying Shuangshuang, two students from Shrek Academy, pointed out the way to Qi Han after entering the academy, taking a shortcut towards the Sea God Lake.

Soon, a beautiful lake, like a sapphire embedded in the earth, appeared before our eyes, reflecting the golden canopy of the Golden Tree in mid-air, as if it were connected to the sky and the earth.

Qi Han had seen the Sea God Lake and the Golden Tree before, but both times were at night during the Sea God's Fate event. Compared to the Sea God Lake at night, the Sea God Lake during the day had a different kind of scenery.

Feeling refreshed and relaxed, Qi Han took a deep breath and slowly looked down from the towering canopy of the golden tree to the distant, faintly visible trunk of the golden tree and the Seagod Island rooted in it.

His own wife was there.

Thinking of this, Qi Han suddenly felt an endless surge of energy within him.

"I'll go first, you can take the ferry and follow behind." Qi Han said softly, glancing at a small boat moored by the lake, before stepping onto the lake without hesitation.

With his eighth-level cultivation, walking on water was an extremely simple matter for him.

As Qi Han lightly touched the clear lake surface with his toes, shallow ripples spread across the waters of the Sea God Lake. His wedding robe, which was black with a golden sun pattern embroidered in gold thread, made his handsome face appear exceptionally ethereal.

Like a banished immortal, Qi Han walked step by step toward Seagod Island. As he got closer, Seagod Island, which was originally just a small part of his field of vision, gradually enlarged until he could clearly see the crowd standing on the edge of Seagod Island.

Those were the disciples of Shrek Academy's inner court.

Unlike the students from Shrek Academy's outer court who were guarding the streets, they stood here early, waiting for Qi Han's arrival.

As soon as Qi Han finally set foot on Seagod Island, the inner disciples immediately surrounded him.

"What's going on here?" Looking at the smirks on everyone's faces, Qi Han suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Boss Qi, if you want to marry the number one beauty of Shrek Academy, you won't be able to do it without going through some tests." The female disciple in the lead, named Ling Lan, was the one who succeeded Yu Lianxin as the senior sister of Shrek Academy. At this moment, she spoke with a smile, with a hint of slyness on her face.

After Ling Lan spoke, the other Shrek Academy disciples nodded in agreement.

"Alright." Seeing the expectant looks on everyone's faces, Qi Han couldn't help but smile. "What kind of test?"

"Ahem." Ling Lan coughed lightly, and six male students slowly walked out from the crowd. "These are the male students who pursued Senior Sister Yu before. At the Sea God's Fate event, in order to ensure that Boss Qi's marriage proposal went smoothly, none of you raised any challenges at the last moment. But that doesn't mean that no one had any objections."

"Um... Boss Qi, although Senior Yu rejected my confession, and I know I have no chance, I still want to challenge you." One of the muscular guys scratched his head, then lowered his voice a few decibels, "However, Boss Qi, you can't take revenge on me and have Han Shi block me!"

"Hahaha!" As soon as the boy finished speaking, a burst of laughter immediately erupted from all around.

The boy's cowardly yet fierce words amused everyone.

"Okay, I won't." Qi Han smiled strangely.

With such an outstanding partner, it's perfectly normal for other people to like her, and he naturally wouldn't mind.

Rather, he was grateful that these "love rivals" didn't do anything provocative that only happens in melodramatic soap operas, allowing him and Yu Lianxin to get together peacefully.

“Then I’m relieved.” A chubby boy next to him chuckled. “I love the food during the Cold Food Festival the most. If I get blacklisted because of this, I’ll just give up.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the other inner court disciples immediately booed.

The other four boys, however, strongly agreed with this.

"So, what exactly is the challenge?" Qi Han couldn't help but ask.

Is it going to be a fight?

With his cultivation level, he could clearly see the cultivation levels of the six people in front of him, the highest of whom was only the seventh ring. Even if he were to fight six people at once, he would not feel much pressure.

But today is a joyous wedding day, and it wouldn't be good if we accidentally hurt each other.

“This is easy.” Ling Lan waved her hand, and soon someone carried out a wooden weapon rack from behind. On the weapon rack were seven identical long sticks, one end of which was tightly wrapped in cloth and had small protrusions like drumsticks.

“This long staff is covered in a white powder that is very difficult to wash off.” Ling Lan looked at Qi Han’s dark wedding dress with a sly look on her face. “I already knew that Boss Qi was quite strong, so if you want to pass this test, you need to defeat all six of them at the same time. As long as you apply the white powder to one of their vital points, that person will be eliminated.”

"As the groom at today's wedding, even if Boss Qi's vitals are hit, he won't be eliminated. However..." Ling Lan smiled slightly, "I suppose Boss Qi wouldn't want to see Senior Sister Yu wearing a wedding dress covered in white powder, right?"

Qi Han's expression immediately turned serious.

The thought of Yu Lianxin wearing such a beautiful wedding dress, while his own wedding gown was covered in white spots and looked sloppy, filled him with a strong sense of resistance.

Looks like I'll have to go all out.

"Oh, right," Ling Lan added with a smile, "In this challenge, no one can use spirit rings or spirit skills; they can only use spirit power."

"Okay." Qi Han nodded slightly.

The seven men exchanged glances, each picked a long stick from the weapon rack, and stood facing each other.

Qi Han stood on one side, and the other six stood on the other side.

As Ling Lan counted down to three, the seven people moved simultaneously.

A minute later, Qi Han put the long staff back into the weapon rack, looked at the silent Ling Lan, and said, "You've passed the test, haven't you?"

“Passed…” Looking at Qi Han’s body, which was completely free of white spots and his composed demeanor, Ling Lan fell into serious self-doubt.

Didn't those disciples say before that Boss Qi's strength should be at the sixth or seventh ring?

Hearing Ling Lan say that he had passed, Qi Han breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran towards the Sea God Pavilion.

Soon, he will see his wife.

After Qi Han left, Ling Lan glared fiercely at the six people, "You went easy on me?"

The six male students, all dressed in white, exchanged glances with bitter expressions. "Senior Sister, we really don't have any."

"Boss Qi is too strong." The muscular boy who spoke first muttered softly, "I feel like he must be at least an eighth-ring level. He overwhelmed me with just his soul power, leaving me powerless to fight back."

"Yes, yes, we really didn't hold back!"

"No matter what, we can't possibly let them get away with it!"

The group immediately began to argue in hushed tones.

"I don't care." Ling Lan said with a forced smile, "The sect leader said that if the six disciples of Shrek Academy's inner court couldn't even touch the hem of Boss Qi's clothes, and didn't even leave a white mark, it means that the disciples of the inner court are getting weaker and weaker with each generation, and lack motivation. Everyone needs to raise the standards and increase their practice."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, the other inner court disciples who were standing behind Ling Lan, who had been watching the show with amusement, all instantly showed distress on their faces.

Immediately afterwards, murderous gazes slowly fell upon the six people.

"Hiss..." The slightly chubby boy's face fell as he looked at the approaching crowd. "Um, go easy on me, don't hit my face, okay?"

"no!"

A crowd surged forward, and soon screams like pigs being slaughtered echoed from within the crowd.

...

It's getting closer, closer and closer.

Qi Han's pace quickened until he finally stopped at the entrance of the Sea God Pavilion.

To be honest, this was his first time visiting the Sea God Pavilion.

He took a deep breath, gently pushed open the door hidden among the tree trunks, bearing the marks of time, and stepped inside.

Inside the Sea God Pavilion.
