My Name Is Ye Guyi

Seeing Long Aotian's expression, Zhou Huan could roughly guess his thoughts, so he replied, "Brother Long, you flatter me. If we have the chance to come to Shrek, we can have another match."

Upon hearing this, Long Aotian simply nodded seriously, said nothing more, and stepped down from the competition stage.

At this moment, Zheng Zhan gave Zhou Huan a deep look before announcing, "Since the Snow Demon Sect has voluntarily conceded defeat, then Shrek will win the first match of the first group stage round-robin tournament!"

Watching Zhou Huan walk off the stage, Zheng Zhan was also deeply moved. Shrek truly was the First Academy on the Douluo Continent. The student they trained could actually defeat Soul Sage with the cultivation of Soul King. Was this Shrek's monster-training ability?

As a Rank 9 Soul Master, Zheng Zhan was naturally a retainer of the Sun Moon Royal Family. At the same time, he was also close to Xu Tianran's faction, so he was well aware of the Sun Moon Crown Prince's ambitions.

But now, he couldn't help but wonder: with Shrek's existence, could unifying the Douluo Continent really be achieved within a few decades?

However, Zheng Zhan was just feeling a bit sentimental at this moment, and didn't have time to think too much, because he had to continue arranging the second Group Stage.

Although the group stage is not as packed with matches as the previous three Elimination Match, with more than twenty games a day, the referees still have just as much work to do.

The group stage lasts for fourteen days, with eight matches per day. Basically, each team plays one match every two days.

Therefore, participating teams actually have more free time after entering the round-robin stage.

Of course, this is on the premise that you don't suffer a serious injury during the match.

Just like Zhou Huan, who had just strolled around the arena, returning to the Shrek Waiting Area, Zhou Fengchu immediately greeted him, "Captain, you're amazing! Soul King defeating Soul Sage! It's like a dream!"

Cao Wolong, who was standing to the side, immediately slapped Zhou Fengchu on the back of the head and said, "What do you mean by 'dreamlike'? This is our captain's true strength. Did you think that when our captain said he would rule the martial world for a thousand generations, he was joking?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan's lips twitched immediately.

Damn it, when did I ever say such a ridiculous thing?!

You may call yourself Wolong, but you can't slander my innocence out of thin air!

Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation!

At this point, it was still his girlfriend who was more reliable. Zhang Lexuan said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. They've already given up on the team competition. It seems the Body Sect doesn't want to fight us to the death in the first match either."

Hearing this, Zhou Huan nodded and said, "Yes, after all, a mutually destructive outcome wouldn't benefit anyone. However, the Body Sect still has to face the Tang Sect next; whether they win or lose depends on themselves."

Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly, then asked, "There are three more matches this morning. Will you stay and watch them?"

Zhou Huan said, "I'm not watching anymore. Anyway, it's not Tang Sect or Holy Spirit Sect's turn yet."

Then, Zhou Huan looked at Wu Feng and the others and continued, "You're all free to do as you please. Those who like watching the game can continue watching, and those who don't can go and explore Mingdu. You can arrange your own time."

After saying that, without waiting for anyone else to answer, Zhou Huan took Zhang Lexuan's hand and left, leaving the Shrek members looking at each other in bewilderment, with nowhere to complain.

After leaving the East Suburb Arena, Zhou Huan still held Zhang Lexuan's hand, unwilling to let go even in the sweltering heat.

After all, as Ice Attribute Soul Master, he's practically a walking refrigerator, the kind with plenty of backup power—truly the best and most practical boyfriend for home, travel, and going out.

So Zhang Lexuan went along with it.

The journey from the East Suburb Arena to Mingdu City is about three or four kilometers. There are quite a few people coming and going along the way. In fact, because of the beautiful scenery along the way and the Soul Master Competition, there are quite a few vendors selling things along the route.

There were vendors selling small trinkets and accessories, snacks, and even water...

It can be said that wherever there are business opportunities, there are people.

Zhou Huan was surprised to find a stall selling candied hawthorn skewers. Without saying a word, she grabbed Zhang Lexuan and bought four skewers, two of which were hawthorn and two were small apple.

In her past life, candied hawthorn was Zhou Huan's favorite snack when she was a child.

Back then, when I lived in the alleyway of my hometown, there were often vendors selling candied hawthorns walking through the streets and alleys, calling out their wares; but as I grew up, I rarely saw these vendors anymore.

Especially after starting work, it's even rarer to see vendors selling candied hawthorns.

If Zhou Huan went to some stores to buy it, she always felt it didn't have the same flavor.

So, when Zhou Huan suddenly saw a vendor selling candied hawthorns on the outskirts of Mingdu, he became interested and wondered if he could recapture the feeling from back then.

"Come on, Sister Lexuan, have a taste."

Zhou Huan handed Zhang Lexuan a string of candied hawthorns and let her eat one before eating the second one herself.

It's sweet and sour, with an indescribable handcrafted flavor... that's it.

Zhou Huan's eyes immediately lit up; this could be considered a kind of homesickness after coming to this other world.

Zhang Lexuan clearly sensed that Zhou Huan's mood seemed different, so she asked, "What's wrong? Is this candied hawthorn really that delicious?"

Hearing this, Zhou Huan and nodded, saying, "Yes, it tastes like something from my childhood."

Zhang Lexuan was puzzled and asked doubtfully, "When I was little? But in Peach Spring Village, were there any places that sold candied hawthorns?"

Of course, no one would sell candied hawthorns in such a remote and remote place Peach Spring Village.

Therefore, Zhou Huan jokingly replied, "It was when I was a child in my past life."

After hearing this, Zhang Lexuan rolled her eyes at Zhou Huan speechlessly. "You're talking nonsense again."

Her boyfriend is great in every way, except that sometimes he likes to talk nonsense.

However, after thinking for a moment, Zhang Lexuan suddenly smiled and asked, "Did you have a girlfriend or wife in your past life?"

Zhou Huan: "..."

So, is the thought process of girlfriends always this peculiar?

How did you even come up with the idea to ask that?

I was single for almost thirty years in my past life, would I tell you that?

The dignity of artisans is inviolable!

Therefore, Zhou Huan replied, "How could I remember so much about my past life? It's good enough if I can remember the taste of my childhood. However, I can promise that in this life, the next life, and the life after that, and forever, I will only have you as my girlfriend Sister Lexuan."

Hmm, very good. Zhou Huan felt she could give herself a thumbs up; after all, what's a relationship without a sweet word every day?

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lexuan didn't play by the rules. "So I can only be your girlfriend forever?"

Zhou Huan: "..." Sister Lexuan, you weren't like this before.

Just as Zhou Huan realized the flaw in that statement and was about to reply, a sudden "pfft" of laughter came from the side.

Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan looked over at the same time.

She was a girl dressed in a yellow outfit, with long golden hair and an exquisitely beautiful face!

However, Zhou Huan's pupils contracted upon seeing this.

In particular, the feedback he received after immediately loosening the seal on the Five-Colored Godhead Spark shocked Zhou Huan and gave him even more guesses.

Of course, these were just fleeting thoughts in Zhou Huan's mind.

At that moment, the blonde girl was being stared at by a couple because of her laughter, and she looked somewhat embarrassed. She could only say, "I'm sorry, I just overheard your conversation and thought it was kind of... uh, no, kind of heartwarming, so I laughed out of emotion."

Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan both stared speechlessly at the pretty blonde girl in front of them, their eyes clearly saying, "You were just trying to say something funny, right? And heartwarming? Your 'touched' laughter is a bit off."

The blonde girl's cheeks flushed slightly under their gazes before she continued, "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to laugh at you. I have something to do, I'll be going now."

With that, the blonde girl tried to flee the scene.

But at this moment, Zhou Huan spoke up, "May I ask your name, young lady?"

Upon hearing this, the blonde girl, who had only turned halfway around, turned back again, looking at Zhou Huan in surprise, thinking to herself, "What kind of person is this? Asking another girl's name in front of his girlfriend? He's definitely a scumbag."

But when she saw the gentle-spoken girl who looked like a well-bred lady, yet showed no sign of blaming her boyfriend, even more questions arose in her mind.

However, regardless of the reason, why would she tell two strangers her name?

Moreover, she didn't come to Mingdu to play or make friends. What she was going to do was very dangerous, so there was no need for her to get too involved with unrelated people.

So the blonde girl replied, "I don't know you, so there's no need to tell me your name."

Before Zhou Huan could ask any further questions, Zhang Lexuan spoke softly, "It's fate that we met by chance. I'm just getting to know you. My name is Zhang Lexuan. May I ask your name, young lady?"

The blonde girl was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then carefully examined Zhang Lexuan again, thinking to herself, "What kind of amazing girlfriend is this? Asking other girls' names for her boyfriend?"

This either indicates an overwhelming level of trust, or it suggests a serious underlying issue.

However you look at it, this girl named Zhang Lexuan doesn't seem like a fool.

So the blonde girl thought for a moment and then answered, "My name is Ye Guyi."
