Blame It All on the Moon

After a long silence, Ice Empress finally answered Huo Gua: "Just now, in that brief half-breath, I sensed the power of the Snow Empress."

Huo Gua was stunned upon hearing this. The strongest of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North? How could that be?

Before Huo Gua could ask anything, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately said anxiously, "Bingbing, you must be mistaken. The Snow Empress is so powerful and proud, how could she possibly have anything to do with a human?"

Ice Empress snorted coldly, "How could you possibly understand the connection between me and Snow Empress? Besides, who gave you permission to call me Bingbing?!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm completely disregarded Ice Empress's cold words. He had always been shameless and was used to Ice Empress's attitude. He continued, "Bingbing, that's not right of you. We're living together now... uh, no, we've been together for so long. How can you still not understand my feelings?"

However, at this point, Ice Empress was too lazy to pay attention to him, and instead said to Huo Gua, "Find a suitable opportunity to inquire about that Zhou Huan."

Huo Gua was naturally curious as well. "Don't worry, Ice Empress, I'll find a way to find out."

Of course, it's impossible to ask now, as Zhou Huan is still hosting the Sea God's Fate Blind Date.

After Huo Gua and Wang Dong defeated Ling Luochen and his group of five, no one else dared to challenge them.

However, the Sea God's Fate Blind Date is not over yet; Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan still have to host the next few blind dates.

Unfortunately, the next few couples did not succeed.

In other words, apart from the three couples who chose their partners midway and withdrew— Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi, Wu Ming and Chu Qingtian, and Han Ruoruo and Wang Yan —only Hua Yao and Gu Fan, and Huo Gua and Wang Dong truly completed the process and succeeded in this year's Sea God's Fate.

It could even be said that only Hua Yao and Gu Fan truly succeeded in their "blind date".

After all, Huo Gua and Wang Dong's relationship wasn't really a blind date. Wang Dong had already fallen for Huo Gua, and Huo Gua was also obsessed with the Goddess of Light.

Therefore, the success rate of finding a partner at the annual Sea God's Fate Blind Date is actually quite low, with many instances resulting in a zero success rate.

No wonder there are so many single guys in Shrek Inner Court.

Because most Soul Master are proud, they generally look down on someone if they don't have enough strength to match them. Even if their strength matches, there are still many factors such as personality and appearance, so it's really not easy to succeed in a blind date.

It was already late at night when the Sea God's Fate ended.

As the host and person in charge of the event, Zhang Lexuan naturally had to stay and manage the venue. This was Sea God Lake, and she couldn't let a matchmaking event cause chaos.

That's why she said before that organizing an event is no easy task.

Don't be fooled by the lively and joyful atmosphere of matchmaking events; someone still has to do all the behind-the-scenes work, such as event preparation, process management, and post-event cleanup.

So, after cleaning up the scene, it was already 1 a. m.

Throughout the entire process, Zhou Huan naturally stayed by Zhang Lexuan's side to help.

Under the moonlight, the Sea God Lake, shimmering with white light, returned to its usual tranquility.

At this moment, only Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan remained on the vast Sea God Lake.

Zhang Lexuan chuckled and said, "See? I told you being the host of the Sea God's Fate is exhausting, isn't it? Not only is there no fun, but you also have to handle all the cleanup work. Look, right now Huo Yuhao is off somewhere sweet with his girlfriend. All you, the host, can do is tidy up the Soul Guidance Lamp and other props on Sea God Lake."

After they finished their work, the two of them sat on a large block of ice on the lake, enjoying the cool breeze.

Zhou Huan stretched lazily, looked at the shimmering lake in front of her, and said earnestly, "But I think it's great this way."

Zhang Lexuan looked at Zhou Huan with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's good?"

Zhou Huan turned her head and looked at Zhang Lexuan's stunningly beautiful face, which appeared even more gentle and moving under the moonlight and the reflection of the lake.

Naturally, Zhou Huan thought of Brother Yu's hit song from back then—

I admit Blame It All on the Moon.

The moonlight was so beautiful, and you were so gentle.

Only in an instant

I just want to grow old with you.

It's all your fault

Your pampering of people is a temptation.

It's all your fault, in your eyes

It always harbors a hazy, endearing quality that evokes both love and pity...

Zhou Huan knew, however, that liking someone was never wrong.

Every "mistake" that Brother Yu sings about is actually a kind of "love".

And tonight, under such a beautiful moonlight, Zhou Huan knew that he had truly fallen in love with the girl beside him.

She is beautiful, gentle, and generous. She is a powerful Senior Disciple Sister of the Inner Court, but also an ordinary homebody. She can cook excellent dishes and brew a fine tea. She can be dignified and domineering, or as gentle as water...

In short, all Zhou Huan could think of were her good points.

And she asked, "What's good?"

So Zhou Huan replied, "Having you by my side is enough."

The bright moonlight perfectly illuminated Zhang Lexuan's slightly flushed face.

But who is she?

She was known for Senior Disciple Sister composure and ability to remain Inner Court by anything, so she jokingly said, "It's good that I'm protecting you, isn't it?"

This time, however, Zhou Huan didn't just laugh it off as usual. Instead, he looked at Zhang Lexuan seriously and said, "No, I said this is good because the girl I like is sitting right next to me."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan's earlobes instantly heated up. If it weren't for her long hair partially covering them, Zhou Huan would probably have already seen her blushing and shy expression.

When did the Senior Disciple Sister of the Inner Court courtyard ever have such an expression?

Before Zhang Lexuan could say anything, Zhou Huan continued, "Sister Lexuan, I like you, I like you a lot. Because of you, I already want to treat Shrek as my home."

However, Zhang Lexuan simply nodded and said "Mmm" before falling silent.

Zhou Huan scratched his head awkwardly and chuckled, "Sister Lexuan, I'm confessing my feelings, you should at least give me some reaction, right?"

Reaction?

What kind of reaction do you want?

Didn't I already nod?

This was Zhang Lexuan's first thought, but after thinking for three seconds, she reached out her right hand and gently grasped Zhou Huan's left hand.

It was Bingbing cold, yet soft... In short, it felt very strange.

The moment Zhou Huan's hand was taken, he had never felt his heart beat so fast.

He's Titled Douluo with Dual Soul Cores. Even so, his heart rate shouldn't be this outrageous, right?

My heart rate is so fast it's practically beating out like a General's Command.

As it turns out, this kind of attraction cannot be suppressed by simply having strong cultivation.

This may be one of the most fundamental problems facing humanity.

"Why is your heart beating so fast?" Zhang Lexuan looked at Zhou Huan tenderly, then immediately thought of something and burst out laughing.

"So what if my heart is racing?" Zhou Huan's face showed a momentary embarrassment, but she quickly smiled. "To win Sister Lexuan's favor, what does a racing heart mean? Nothing else matters..."

Suddenly, Zhang Lexuan gripped Zhou Huan's hand tightly, her gaze sharpening. "I suggest you think carefully before you speak."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan could only manage an awkward laugh. He coughed, realizing he'd gotten a little carried away; if he continued, he'd be in trouble.

Therefore, Zhou Huan immediately changed the subject. "Sister Lexuan, on such a beautiful day, to celebrate our first day together, let me give you a gift."

Zhang Lexuan looked at Zhou Huan in confusion and said, "Why do you need to give a gift to celebrate the first day we've been together? I didn't prepare a gift, and I didn't know you were confessing your feelings today."

Uh, how do you explain this?

It seems like there aren't any anniversaries or anything like that for couples starting their relationship in the Douluo Continent... right?

Forget it, I'll just ignore it.

Zhou Huan continued, "You don't need to take me, I'll take you."

Immediately, Zhou Huan turned his right hand forward, and a plant with white leaves tinged with red suddenly appeared in his palm.
