Should I Be the Host Instead?

Three days later, Shrek Academy, Sea God Island.

After dealing with the Evil Soul Master in You Family Village, Zhou Huan officially became an Inner Court disciple, so he moved directly to Sea God Island.

Unlike the six- or seven-story dormitories for Outer Court Disciple, the dormitories for Inner Court disciple are all small two-story buildings.

The interior and exterior design of the small building is quite retro, and it looks quite in line with the style of Sea God Island.

Each building can accommodate two students, and unsurprisingly, Zhou Huan became roommates with Wen Xiaoshuai again.

In fact, there aren't many Disciples in Shrek Inner Court, roughly around sixty people, so there are only about forty dormitory buildings for the Inner Court disciple on Sea God Island.

It's not easy to get a separate room, especially for newly Inner Court Disciple.

However, Zhou Huan didn't care about that. He now had a new small goal: to move into Zhang Lexuan's house as soon as possible.

So, early in the morning, taking advantage of the fact that they both lived on Sea God Island, Zhou Huan went to Zhang Lexuan's house again.

Although Zhang Lexuan's house wasn't in the Inner Court disciple' dormitory area, it was still much more convenient for her to come over than it was for Zhou Huan when Outer Court.

Zhang Lexuan, as always, leaned against the windowsill reading a book. After a long while, she finally turned her gaze to Zhou Huan, who was fiddling with the tea set in the living room, and said with a hint of helplessness, "You really have a lot of free time right now."

In fact, unless you're on a mission and going out to cultivate, Inner Court disciple are really idle.

Because there is no arrangement for Inner Court disciple to attend classes together in Class One group.

The Inner Court does have teachers, but the teaching model there is not divided into classes, or rather, there are no classes in the Inner Court. Instead, students go directly to the teachers to ask questions.

As for the graduation requirements for Inner Court disciple, it is to complete thirty Shrek Inspection Team missions.

Of course, these things are not difficult for Zhou Huan, but he doesn't need to rush to do them.

Speaking of the Supervision Team, it's actually a double-edged sword. Zhou Huan couldn't really say what its advantages and disadvantages were; he could only act according to his own conscience.

However, Zhou Huan, who had just entered the Inner Court, was too lazy to think about so much. He figured he might as well spend more time visiting Zhang Lexuan's place.

Especially now, it's graduation time for the Outer Court Sixth Grade. Some are busy with their graduation exams, while others are busy with their entrance exams for the Inner Court. But Zhou Huan has already passed the exams and deserves a good rest.

So, it was true that Zhang Lexuan said he was free, and Zhou Huan accepted it readily without disturbing her Senior Disciple Sister's embarrassment. "That's why I come to keep Sister Lexuan whenever I have free time."

Zhang Lexuan: "... I'm not bored, and I don't have anything to be bored about that needs your help."

She was enjoying herself at home reading novels all by herself, and when Zhou Huan came over, she felt she had to politely offer her a cup of tea.

However, Zhou Huan shamelessly replied, "But I'm bored. I spend all day in the dorm with Old Wen. It's better to come to Sister Lexuan's house for tea."

Zhang Lexuan put down her book and said, "Then you can go to the library to read. Didn't you used to love going to the library all the time?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan shook his head. "I've searched through the entire Outer Courtyard Library, and I've completed eight papers; as for the Inner Courtyard Library, it should be in the Sea God Pavilion, but I'm not qualified to go there yet."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Lexuan said, "Then why don't you become Sea God Pavilion member?"

Zhou Huan: "... Sis, this isn't urgent, it's not urgent."

Seeing this, Zhang Lexuan burst out laughing, "Look at you, so silly. I was just teasing you. Anyone who didn't know better would think I was taking you to the execution ground."

Zhou Huan: "..."

After laughing for a while, Zhang Lexuan suddenly remembered something and said casually, "The Inner Court Sea God's Fate event is coming up in a few days. You'll be there just in time. If you're bored, you can join in the fun."

Sea God's Fate?

Have we arrived so quickly?

In other words, Huo Gua returning from his studies abroad in the next few days?

I wonder if Huo Gua will find some other cheat codes after losing Snow Empress's powerful cheat code?

Six months ago, news actually came from the Sun Moon Empire that Mingde Hall had been ambushed by the Body Sect.

The Body Sect also used this method to forcefully announce its reappearance on the Douluo Continent!

It was then that Zhou Huan realized that even without the Snow Empress Embryo as a catalyst, Mingde Hall could not escape the fate of being used by the Body Sect as a stepping stone for its resurgence.

It's just unknown Huo Gua, the strongest spy in Douluo, managed to squeeze another sum out of the Mingde Hall.

Meanwhile, as Zhou Huan was lost in thought and somewhat silent, Zhang Lexuan noticed and her eyebrows furrowed slightly before she casually asked, "Do you have someone in mind? Thinking about confessing your feelings?"

"Huh? What?" Zhou Huan finally came to her senses.

Zhang Lexuan: "... I mean, after thinking about it for so long, which girl are you going to confess to at the Sea God's Fate?"

Confess your love to the girl?

Do I need to confess my feelings to the girl at the Sea God's Fate?

And, most importantly, you're not going to become the Sea God's Fate Fairy.

Therefore, Zhou Huan decisively shook his head and said, "The girl I like probably wouldn't become some kind of Sea God's Fate Fairy."

In fact, Zhou Huan had been considering when to confess his feelings. He figured he had to take the initiative; he couldn't just wait for his Senior Disciple Sister to confess to him, could he?

This is a bit like wanting to eat peaches.

Even Zhou Huan, who has been single for many years, is not so irrational. The highest level of confession is to wait for the other person to confess.

However, Zhou Huan couldn't find a good opportunity to confess his feelings.

It's hard to say what will happen without the right atmosphere, and what if I confess my feelings hastily and fail?

Therefore, Zhou Huan felt it was better to be cautious and take things slowly, gradually winning over the girls in the Douluo Continent, since the girls in his previous life were quite different from those he had met in his previous life.

At the same time, when Zhang Lexuan heard Zhou Huan say that the girl he liked wouldn't become the Sea God's Fate Fairy, she was momentarily stunned. The implication was too obvious.

Everyone in the Inner Court knows that Zhang Lexuan never acts as the Sea God's Fate Fairy, and this year she even has to be the host.

However, Zhou Huan still didn't say it explicitly, and no one knows what he was thinking.

It's absolutely impossible for Zhou Huan to dislike her.

Zhang Lexuan isn't stupid. They've known each other for so many years; anyone with a bit of emotional intelligence would know that Zhou Huan likes her.

One of them doesn't say anything, but he's always hanging around her, whether there's something to talk about or not. The other one, well, she's more easygoing and doesn't take the initiative to do anything.

But things can't go on like this forever, can they?

Just as Zhang Lexuan was about to say something, Zhou Huan suddenly asked, "Sister Lexuan, are you one of the hosts for this Sea God's Fate?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan was taken aback. Had the topic shifted so quickly? How did it get to the host?

However, she nodded slightly and said, "It's definitely me."

Then, Zhou Huan continued, "Has the male host been confirmed?"

Zhang Lexuan shook her head. "Not yet. I'm in charge of this year's Sea God's Fate. I originally planned to have Beibei be the male host, but lately, he and Tang Ya seem to be doing business with a sect called Earth Dragon Gate, so they don't have time to participate in the Sea God's Fate event."

Seeing that Zhang Lexuan showed no sign of disappointment when talking about Beibei and Tang Ya, Zhou Huan felt relieved.

In Zhou Huan's view, Zhang Lexuan's feelings for Beibei were more about familial love, responsibility, and commitment, after all, it was a vow she had upheld for ten years.

But by now, she should have let it go.

Therefore, Zhou Huan said, "How about I be the male host? Anyway, I don't have a favorite Sea God's Fate Fairy."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan was slightly taken aback. "You... are you sure? Even if you don't have Sea God's Fate Fairy you want to confess to, you can still experience the excitement of the event as a participant. Being the host of the Sea God's Fate event may seem glamorous on the surface, but it's very tiring to be in charge of an event."

Zhou Huan replied earnestly, "Of course I'm sure."

Isn't this just Douluo If You Are the One of "If You Are the One"?

Being a guest is nowhere near as fun as being a host!

Moreover, she co-hosted the event with Zhang Lexuan.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Huan asked again, "What is the entire process of the Sea God's Fate?"

Zhang Lexuan turned around, took a small notebook from the bookshelf, and handed it to Zhou Huan: "Here, this is the event schedule for the Sea God's Fate event in previous years."

Zhou Huan opened it and saw that it was indeed still the same: Kindred Spirits, Love at First Sight, Love at Second Sight, Three Lives, One Fate, a happy marriage for Hundred Years of Harmony.

There are five steps in total, it's not complicated at all.

After reviewing the event schedule for the Sea God's Fate event in the notebook, Zhou Huan said, "I understand. Being a host is no problem, and it's much more interesting than being a guest. A host can control the whole event."

Zhang Lexuan: "You've made up your mind, so don't go back on your word later. If I can't find a host, I'll kill you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan decisively patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't regret it. Oh, by the way, I think in the 'Kindred Spirits' segment, maybe we should cover the boys' faces too. That would be fairer, since men and women are equal. We can't judge a book by its cover from the start."

Zhang Lexuan was speechless. "... Your suggestion is good, but I suggest you don't make it."

However, Zhou Huan was clearly not so easily persuaded, "How about we change this Matchmaking Gala into a blind date, where no one can see each other's faces? We should be pursuing love that resonates with each other, right?"

But Zhang Lexuan snatched the notebook back from Zhou Huan's hand and said, "If you want to be a host, you'd better behave yourself and not ruin the Sea God's Fate, or you'll regret it."

Seeing this, Zhou Huan had no choice but to obediently reply, "Oh, then I'll do whatever Sister Lexuan says."

Actually, his desire to be a host was just a casual attitude—since he was already there, he figured he might as well give it a try. After all, it wasn't a big deal; he just wanted to add some color to his daily Shrek life.

These peaceful days won't last much longer.
