I love you, Ye Hui, come with me

The next morning, as the horizon just began to glow with a pale white light, Yuan'en Tiandang rose early and headed toward the Ming City Mountains, where the War God Temple was stationed.

The Ming City Mountains were located on the western side of Ming City, stretching for hundreds of miles.

The Central Legion was stationed atop the peaks in the heart of the mountain range.

This was the Federation's most elite ground force, aside from the Blood God Legion, and the War God Temple was nestled within it.

Soon, Yuan'en Tiandang spotted the stationed troops from afar.

A patrolling soldier noticed Yuan'en Tiandang, flew over, and questioned him.

"What is your business here? If you have no official matters, do not proceed any further."

"I am here to join the War God Temple."

Upon hearing this, the patrolling soldier pointed him in a direction: "Go that way. If you can defeat the gatekeeper and your background is clean, you may join."

Yuan'en Tiandang followed the direction the soldier had indicated.

To test whether soldiers and civilian Spirit Masters were qualified to enter the War God Temple, the organization had established a trial mechanism.

Before Xie An became the War God Temple Master, this trial was only open to military personnel.

As long as they hadn't committed unforgivable crimes, soldiers could use the trial to reduce their sentences.

Capable soldiers could also use the trial to earn merit rewards.

Later, the restrictions were lifted, and some civilian experts were allowed to participate.

[Challenger, eight-ring Spirit Douluo, entry permitted.]

A voice echoed in Yuan'en Tiandang's mind, and immediately after, a figure appeared before him.

A seven-ring Two-Word Battle Armor master emerged.

Yuan'en Tiandang unleashed his eighth spirit ability, Titan Boulder Meteor, and easily secured victory.

Afterward, he continued to win as if cutting through melons and vegetables, until he encountered a Title Douluo, where he finally failed due to the gap in spirit power.

[Congratulations, you have earned the qualification to join the War God Temple.]

[Please note, if you choose to join the War God Temple, try not to join other factions. If you wish to do so, please apply to withdraw from the War God Temple first.]

Once the voice in his mind finished, Yuan'en Tiandang was teleported to a waiting room.

To Yuan'en Tiandang's surprise, the woman he had saved yesterday, Ye Hui, was also there.

"You two are the ones who passed the trial today, right? If you've made up your minds, follow me to register."

A staff member asked.

Yuan'en Tiandang thought for a moment, then stood up and walked toward the staff member; Ye Hui followed suit.

"First, you must undergo a physical examination to check for hidden illnesses or other uncertain factors."

Yuan'en Tiandang finished his exam quickly. While drawing blood, the female nurse asked with stars in her eyes: "Handsome, interested in exchanging contact information?"

Yuan'en Tiandang scratched his head, feeling a bit shy, and politely declined the nurse.

He, Yuan'en Tiandang, a virgin of twenty years, was not that kind of casual person.

Just as he finished his exam, Yuan'en Tiandang suddenly heard another nurse whispering: "Does a Spirit Master with that kind of martial soul deserve to join the War God Temple? Are we sure she isn't an undercover Evil Soul Master?"

"Why would the Temple Master lift the restrictions and allow such a person to join? If you ask me, she should just be executed."

Evil Soul Master—although Yuan'en Tiandang lived within his family, he knew exactly what that meant.

He turned his head and saw Ye Hui undergoing her physical exam while the staff members whispered nearby.

Possessing the fiery spirit of a youth, Yuan'en Tiandang naturally could not stand to see such a scene.

A nameless rage surged up instantly. His eyes widened, his breath grew heavy like an ox, and he loudly questioned the staff.

"How can you say such things? She is clearly a fine Spirit Master, yet you call her an Evil Soul Master for no reason."

"Dark Angel—with a martial soul like that, need I say more? She will definitely fall into becoming an Evil Soul Master."

The staff member replied with a look of defiance.

"Martial souls are not inherently good or evil; it only depends on how a person uses them."

Yuan'en Tiandang retorted.

"Enough, Xiao Zhou, apologize to Ms. Ye."

The staff member wanted to say more, but was reprimanded by his superior.

Ye Hui shook her head and gave a bitter smile to the War God Temple leader: "It's fine, I'm already used to it."

She turned and walked toward Yuan'en Tiandang: "Thank you for saving me yesterday. Your name is Tiandang, right? How about we exchange contact information? I'd like to treat you to a meal to show my gratitude."

Yuan'en Tiandang was a bit confused. She had been cold and distant yesterday; why had her attitude changed so quickly today?

He hadn't really done anything.

Yuan'en Tiandang exchanged contact information in a daze. Afterward, the two had a meal, and Ye Hui expressed her thanks.

Over the next three years, the two kept in touch and discovered they were the same age. They talked about everything, from the strange anecdotes of the Douluo Continent to which stalls at the snack street had the best food; there was nothing they didn't discuss.

The feelings between the two were gradually changing, though Tiangang himself was unaware of it.

One day.

"Tiandang, what do you want to do in the future?"

"I want to become a Limit Douluo and lead our family to greater heights. What about you?"

"Me? I want to be a good person, find someone who truly loves me, and live an ordinary life."

"You definitely will."

The young girl, half-annoyed and half-shy, punched Yuan'en Tiandang before turning and walking away.

"Why did she punch me for no reason?"

Yuan'en Tiandang was left feeling confused.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed; Yuan'en Tiandang was about to return to his family.

His strength had reached level 89, and he needed to return to the family to make his breakthrough.

However, he had been feeling restless lately, and the image of Ye Hui's every smile and frown kept appearing in his mind.

What was wrong with him?

The person living with him noticed his distraction and kindly reminded him, "You, you've fallen for Ye Hui."

"Ye Hui is a good girl; don't let her down."

Before leaving, the man added one more sentence.

Yuan'en Tiandang felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Just as he wanted to ask what he should do, the man was already nowhere to be seen.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Three knocks sounded, and Ye Hui quickly opened the Gate of Opening. Seeing that it was Tiandang, she said happily, "Brother Tiandang, what's wrong?"

Yuan'en Tiandang did not speak.

"What is it, Brother Tiandang?"

"Ye Hui, if—I mean, if I like you, would you come with me?"

Yuan'en Tiandang closed his eyes; after all, this was his first confession in twenty-three years.

There was no answer; he was met only by Ye Hui's warm and beautiful red lips.

"Silly, I like you too, my Brother Tiandang."

"Ye Hui, I love you. Come home with me. My martial soul is the Titan Giant Ape, my family is the Yuan'en family, and my real name is Yuan'en Tiandang."

Yuan'en Tiandang confessed everything about himself to Ye Hui.

"Come home with me to meet my father."

"Come home and marry me. I love you, Ye Hui."

Ye Hui did not speak, simply nodding shyly.

Yuanen Zhentian was very happy that his son had returned from three years of training with such a beautiful wife, and that the couple was so deeply in love.

The only slight drawback was that his daughter-in-law's martial soul was not very good.

He soon let it go, however, as his son had knelt and guaranteed that Ye Hui was a good girl who had never killed anyone and was not an Evil Soul Master.

He had also used his own power as a Limit Douluo to investigate, which also ruled out the possibility of Ye Hui being an Evil Soul Master.

He could not be too demanding of Ye Hui; a gentleman born in a small state is not at fault for the state's size.

At the same time, Ye Hui treated Yuan'en Tiandang's younger brother and his wife as well as anyone possibly could.

The entire clan was very satisfied with Ye Hui.

Several months later, Yuan'en Tiandang and Ye Hui were married under the witness of his father and entered the bridal chamber.

As the candles were blown out, there remained only the love and deep affection of the newlyweds.
